Upon returning to his room, Bai Yang removed his gear in a panic and changed into his home attire. He whipped out his phone and waited for half a day before decisively giving up.
His worry was entirely unnecessary, there was not a single message or unanswered call at all….
I am indeed your biological son, you both know that I would not go anywhere else apart from lounging about at home in this kind of hot weather, so there is no need to be worried of me. But why does it still feel weird that no one asked about me after I was gone for such long time?
Bai Yang mumbled in his heart.
This brat was being utterly unreasonable, he was in this weird state where he had a secret that could not be told, but he also wanted someone to ask him about it so that he could pretend to be knowledgeable and mysterious….
Throwing his phone away, a bored Bai Yang walked out of his room with a deadpan expression. The house was silent; he had no doubt that his parents had gone out to work again. They even kind-heartedly left him some breakfast….
In that other world, Bai Yang fainted before he could actually fill his tummy, so his stomach was growling. He started ravaging the food that was served on the table.
I can't keep this up, I will be going there often in the future, which is fine if dad and mom don't know about this right now. But if I do this frequently, things will get out of hand quickly, especially if something happens over there that would delay my return….
The young man was eating and thinking of a solution at the same time, this ability to mult.i.task had been trained over his dreaming sessions during cla.s.ses at university. Living safely but also worrying about the danger was necessary for everyone so he started planning his future plans.
The solution to the problem actually pretty simple; all he needed to do was move out.
But this raised another issue; he was the only child, ever since his baby stage, he had never been separated from his parents for more than three days. Moving out suddenly seemed to be impossible for him in his mind.
Most importantly, he did not have any money….
Suzhou was located right beside Lake Tai, an inch of land worth tons of gold, the rent for a slightly smaller and simple house cost at least two thousand a month. Not only did Bai Yang have no money to pay even the deposit, having to do ch.o.r.es himself was tantamount to suicide in his eyes….
But going “there” was inevitable, and he also needed to avoid troubles on this side.
After half a day of struggling, Bai Yang deemed that it was necessary for him to test his parents' limit. He found his phone and rang his mother.
“You little brat, why are you so lazy? What time is it right now? Gosh, did you see the food we left for you on the table? Now speak, what do you want from me?”
Before Bai Yang could say anything, his mother started nagging him.
As for Bai Yang, after preparing his speech, he purposely gently said, “Mom, I just want to tell you that I found a job and to ease my working life, I might need to move out….”
“Good, you're a grown man now! What kind of job? Is it tiring? Where is it? And how about the company? Any information?”
Bai Yang was stunned, this was obviously not going as he expected and the main point he wanted to convey was that he wanted to move out?
“Mom, what I'm trying to say is that I might need to move out to ease my work?”
“And that is entirely correct. After all, work is more important. You still did not tell me what kind of job you found!”
At this point, Bai Yang once again found that his worry had been unwarranted, not only did his mother express no unwillingness of separating from her son, it even felt like she wanted him to disappear as fast as possible…. He was indeed her biological son, the only son.
“Something related to trading, reselling products and etc. Hey mom, I will tell you the details later, I need to find a house near the company right now so that's that for now. See you later mom!”
After brus.h.i.+ng off the topic, Bai Yang hung up and sighed speechlessly at his unreliable mother. Your son is going to leave your side for a very long time and you can't even show an iota of reluctance? Am I really your son?
After scratching his head, he picked up his phone again and attempted to seek comfort from his father.
“Hey dad.”
“Speak, you brat. I gave you 10,000 RMB two days ago so don't you tell me you are out of money again! I am not a money printer you know!”
The first thing that came out of his father's mouth had Bai Yang choking on his saliva, Why were you always starting the conversation like that?
“Ehem, dad, I found a job and it's a little bit far away from home, which makes it difficult me for me to get to work and come home, so I am thinking about finding a house near my workplace….”
At this point, Bai Yang stopped talking and waited for his father's opinion.
“Sigh….”
From the opposite of the call came a long and heavy sigh, which comforted Bai Yang greatly; the seemingly unwillingness coming from his father had him reconsidering his decision of moving out right away.
“Brat, you finally are a grown man now! Be sure to take care of yourself out there, don't worry about dad and mom, remember to always keep a good relations.h.i.+p with your colleagues. Oh, you would need money to rent a house out there so I'll send you some money later. You may be just starting your work but you have to treat yourself nicely. Stay safe and always keep yourself full.”
The words that came from Bai Yang's father slammed Bai Yang deep into the 18th level of h.e.l.l right away, and Bai Yang felt his limbs turn cold right away!
He felt that there was a need to save his father from his indifference to his son by reminding him that blood was thicker than water.
“Dad, I've never been separated from you all for so many years, are you willing to let me go?”
“Shoo! Your dad has been waiting for this day to come for so many years. After having you in our lives, my sweet and romantic life became nothing but a bittersweet memory. So go wherever you want, as long as it's not home! Just remember to visit us during the festivals or I will find you no matter where you are and give you a nice beating! Okay, that's it from me! The money will be sent over to you later. I'm busy right now, oh right, that “wild boar meat” you cooked for us that day, bring me some if you can. I've been feeling much younger ever since eating that meat….”
Pa—
And Bai Yang was hung up on by his father, leaving him alone with the remains of his broken heart; he was definitely a free gift from topping up the phone bills, hmmm, that was definitely the case!
Ding dong—
His phone rang again.
After taking a look at the notification, Bai Yang's mouth twitched upon seeing the message reminding him that there was a huge sum of money coming into his account.
Just how impatient was his father for him to move out that he immediately sent him all the money he needed, including rent, groceries, bills, and daily expenses?
Hmph! Fine, I will move out. It will be depending on my mood whether or not you see me again later! Don't blame me for doing this if you are the one that started this! You will have to pay if you want something good from me next time! After all, I found a “trading” job! I will earn a great profit from you first by selling you some precious materials. You want the “wild boar meat”? No money, no talk….
With a r.e.t.a.r.ded and twisted expression, Bai Yang mumbled while grinding his teeth as he started looking online for a house to rent.
This was a very simple task, the money banked into his account was very sufficient, there was no need for him to lower his standards. He went straight after the well-renovated house with two rooms and a living room that was also fully furnished at the same time.
A lazy person's solution to everything was a solution that would avoid troubling himself. If a problem can be solved through money, then it was no longer a problem.
After matching his requirements, the browser listed out all the houses he was looking for and after excluding those that were closer to his home, he started getting in touch with the owners. After some verifications, they all said that he could come and take a look at the house any time he wanted.
After putting on his jacket, Bai Yang took a cab to his destination, whoever the landlord was did not matter, as long as Bai Yang could rent that house as quicky as possible.
Upon arriving, heh, it was a little villa right beside a lake, the reason as to why the owner was trying to rent this villa out was none of Bai Yang's concern. After some questions and answers, Bai Yang soon learned that the rent was 5,000 a month and that he was responsible for his own bills.
The environment was good, the view was clear, the facilities were perfect, good. The contract was signed, a year's rent was paid and the half of the money he had received instantly evaporated!
With the key in hand, Bai Yang took a cab home right away to pack his things, leaving the real estate agent stunned.
Bai Yang was, perhaps, the most decisive person he had ever met. Without asking about the price, Bai Yang immediately signed the contract, not even making a self introduction….
Filthy rich!
After returning home, Bai Yang had the cab driver wait for him as he went to pack his things.
A packed a few sets of clothes in a small carry on; as for other electronics like computers, the villa had them all. Then it was the case containing his gear, the jar used to make the tiger p.e.n.i.s wine, and the other jar and cloth bag gifted to him by the elder old man. Ok, everything was ready.
He reached his head out of the window and gave the cab driver with 100 RMB to help him move all the things he packed. Everything was done in one run!
After arriving at the villa, Bai Yang had the cab driver help him transfer his things.
He went straight to the largest room on the second floor, threw himself onto the bed and started texting.
“Dad and mom, I've found a house and have already moved out.”
With the address attached along, he tapped onto the send b.u.t.ton.
His parents may be unreliable at times, but as a son, he would have to report to them wherever he went. This was only appropriate and would also let them know where to find him if anything were to go wrong.
“I'm free at long last! But I must taste the sweet nectar of revenge! I will be a trader that will empty dad's pocket with the precious woods I find over there, so that you know that your son is not to be messed with!”
As for his mother who was a teacher, Bai Yang temporarily had no idea how to exact his “revenge”….
And as he lay on the bed, he started planning.
He was not stupid at all, these rare precious materials were something that was in constant demand but had no supply at all, and with a dad who was making a business out from making wooden furniture, there was no way he would sell the materials to someone else.
As a young man, this was the first time he went living independently, of course he would want to prove himself to his parents….
