Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

”For instance, about my mother.”

Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows and cut straight to the chase.

”You really do know something.”

He Kuo’s smile grew even brighter: ”Since that’s the case, there’s no harm telling you, as I don’t know much anyway, and in terms of seniority, you should be calling me ’Uncle’.”

”Uncle?” Lu Xiaobu’s smile faded: ”My mother is from the He Family?”

”That’s right, your mother is my younger sister—He Mei, a beauty that appears once every hundred years in our He family and also a once-in-a-century feng shui prodigy!”

He Kuo revealed a nostalgic look in his eyes: ”Back then, when your mother reached marriageable age, all of Xiangjiang was abuzz!”

”He Mei?! The same little-known aunt—He Mei—who suddenly disappeared? She is actually Lu Xiaobu’s mother? That’s not right! Our He family doesn’t allow its women to marry outside, right?”

He Honghai was startled, asking in shock.

”That’s right, our He family does not permit marrying outside because it would disrupt our Dragon Vein and leak our fortune.”

He Kuo agreed, then his gaze narrowed, staring at Lu Xiaobu: ”But, I must say, your father was indeed lucky and capable to have spirited away my younger sister! The two of them ran off to the Mainland!”

His gaze then shifted to glance at the group of women behind Lu Xiaobu, slender and full-figured, and he sighed: ”It seems your Lu family is still incredibly strong in that aspect!”

”Continue. What happened next?”

Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes and continued asking; this was the precursor, the subsequent events were even more important!

”After that... do I even need to think about it? How could our He Family allow such a thing to happen? Of course, we employed every means at our disposal to pursue the matter vigorously, but your mother’s talent in feng shui was so high she managed to deceive us many times through various methods,” He Kuo continued.

Speaking to this point, he suddenly held back a sigh: ”Honestly, if it were just that, although our He Family would have been shamed, we might have let it go. But your mother made a mistake by being too greedy! She actually used our He Family’s fortune to enhance the Lu family’s luck.”

”That’s right, I’ve also found out that you have two brothers, one a business genius, the other a scholarly prodigy. Do you think their talents come naturally? That’s our He Family’s fortune!”

Saying this, He Kuo slammed his hand down on the table: ”It’s because of your mother’s excessive greediness that our He Family has suffered a leak in fortune, and for decades, our family has never regained its former glory!”

”Right, there’s one thing I can’t figure out—how are you still alive today?”

He Kuo’s gaze narrowed.

Hearing these words, Zhang Meng and Li Jin took a half-step forward, the atmosphere in the private room instantly turned sharp.
