Lu Yuan, Dad, Please Don't Cancel My Membership
Liu Dongfeng's parents flushed with embarrassment, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. That was right. Compared with Lu Yuan's family, what was there to brag about when the three of them shared a single diamond membership?
Lu Yuan had casually signed up for supreme memberships instead, and he'd bought four of the damn things in one go. Compared with Lu Yuan, what the hell did their son's little achievement amount to?
Furious, Liu Lei gave Liu Dongfeng a vicious kick in the backside. "You can't hold a candle to him, so why do you go around showing off like him every day? You useless thing, you're worse than some but better than others!"
Liu Dongfeng was speechless. "How was I supposed to know he was that rich..."
"Quit changing the subject," Lu Yuan urged. "Hurry up and call me Dad!"
Liu Dongfeng clenched his fists and looked at Lu Yuan, his face dark as thunder. "Lu Yuan, if you think I'll call you Dad, dream on!"
The receptionist gave Liu Dongfeng a pitying glance. "You can choose not to, but the club will unilaterally cancel your membership, and your prepaid balance won't be refunded."
Lu Yuan looked at Liu Dongfeng and said, "A diamond membership here costs five hundred thousand yuan, doesn't it? You can choose between a membership card with a five-hundred-thousand-yuan balance and calling me Dad."
Liu Dongfeng immediately caved. He dropped to his knees with a thud and said quietly, "Dad..."
Lu Yuan deliberately cupped a hand to his ear. "What did you say? I couldn't hear you. Speak up!"
Liu Dongfeng gritted his teeth. "Lu Yuan, don't push it!"
"Push it? You think I'm pushing it? All right, receptionist, it looks like he doesn't have a shred of sincerity. You'd better cancel his membership!" Lu Yuan looked straight at the receptionist. With a net worth of over nine trillion yuan, he was certain she would take his side.
Liu Dongfeng was on the verge of tears. He grabbed Lu Yuan's pant leg. "No, no, Dad, Dad, please don't cancel my membership!"
Lu Yuan kicked him away in disgust. "Scram, scram, scram! I never had a brain-dead son like you. Don't go calling me Dad!"
Liu Lei suddenly slapped Liu Dongfeng across the face, making his ears ring. "You little beast, you've made us lose all face..."
Liu Dongfeng was angry but didn't dare speak. The family had lost all desire to enjoy themselves that night and left the club in disgrace.
Lu Yuan asked the receptionist, "What benefits do supreme members get?"
The receptionist answered Lu Yuan warmly, "Sir, you can choose from over a thousand herbal baths, and you can request any wellness therapist in the club to serve you exclusively. You can also enjoy a complimentary cup of Dahongpao tea or aged Pu'er."
"Whenever you come on a Saturday or Sunday, you only have to pay the admission fee, and you can enjoy the full range of services as soon as you arrive."
"Sounds good," Lu Yuan said. "Take us to try it out!"
With the receptionist's arrangements, Lu Yuan and his family went to the service area together.
The receptionist's colleagues nearby asked her, "Lulu, you just said that if that man wasn't qualified, then no one in Magic City was. Wasn't that a bit of an exaggeration? There are so many rich second-generation heirs in Magic City, after all..."
"Heh, an exaggeration? Not one bit!"
"He has at least nine trillion yuan in his account. Which rich second-generation heir in Magic City has that much in the bank?"
"Gulp! How much did you say?"
"Over nine trillion!"
"Holy crap! He's so rich... If only I could get his WeChat and become his girlfriend..."
Lu Yuan and his family were immersed in their relaxing treatments.
Dad chose a medicinal bath to loosen his muscles and joints, while Lu Yuan soaked in two red wine baths.
After their baths, Lu Yuan and his family requested the best wellness therapists in the club.
Lu Yuan said, "Start with my parents and my little sister. Don't you combine several massage techniques?"
"Yes, sir. Our massages use a set of techniques developed by improving on massage methods from many countries, combining Thai, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong Kong styles."
"You can't enjoy this at any other club."
Lu Yuan's parents sank into the experience. "Ah, that pressure feels wonderful. My back has hurt for years, but now it doesn't hurt at all!"
Lu Yuan smiled. "Haha, then you should come here and relax more often."
Once Lu Yuan's parents had finished their massages, it was his turn.
The massage therapist gradually increased the pressure, starting gently and working up to a firmer touch. Lu Yuan felt relaxed and at ease, and all the fatigue from running around at work vanished.
The feeling was so comfortable, almost dreamlike. It was the ultimate pleasure and experience.
After the massages, Lu Yuan and his family were led to a tea room. It was full of Zen atmosphere, and its tranquility made them feel relaxed and comfortable.
As a cup of Dahongpao was brewed, the fragrance of tea filled the air.
A veil covered half the face of the woman in the tea room, lending her a hazy beauty. Her ten fingers played the guzheng, adding even more atmosphere to the room.
Lu Yuan looked at the Dahongpao tea leaves, and inspiration struck. System! Use Tycoon Critical Hit on the Dahongpao tea leaves.
[Ding! The host touched a packet of Dahongpao tea leaves, triggering a Tycoon Critical Hit reward!] [You have obtained five hundred jin of Dahongpao tea leaves!] [Host, please move into a villa as soon as possible. The Dahongpao tea leaves will be stored there for you.]
After hearing the system notifications, Lu Yuan felt a rush of satisfaction. Having the Tycoon Critical Hit System was great. He could buy things when he wanted to spend money, and get them for free when he didn't want to pay!
After relaxing at the wellness club, Lu Yuan drove his parents back to Tomson Riviera.
Lu Yuan introduced them to the people at the sales office. "These are my mom and dad. Pick an apartment for them, one with good natural light and ventilation, and plenty of space."
"Certainly, Mr. Lu. We'll arrange it right away."
"Uncle, Auntie, these are our properties. Take a look and choose whichever one you like."
Lu Yuan's parents were dumbfounded. "Choose whichever one we like? Is no one living in any of these apartments?"
The sales manager glanced at Lu Yuan, then at the elderly couple.
It seemed they still didn't know Lu Yuan was Tomson's chairman, and she didn't make a point of revealing his identity.
The sales manager smiled. "That's right. Two days ago, a mysterious wealthy man in Magic City purchased every apartment developed under Tomson Riviera and told me to rent or sell them as quickly as possible."
"Mr. Lu happens to be a friend of the mysterious wealthy man, so you have the privilege of choosing whichever one you like!"
The sales manager completed the ownership transfer for Lu Yuan's parents very quickly.
His parents looked at Lu Yuan curiously. "Son, you've spent so much money these past two days. You really haven't done anything illegal, have you? We have to live with a clear conscience. We can't do anything against the law!"
Lu Yuan's heart warmed. He reassured them, "Don't worry, Mom, Dad. I found a bargain on Antiques Street and made over a billion yuan selling antiques. You can rest easy. The money is all legal."
"That much? That's terrifying. Is it really true?"
Lu Yuan said, "Would I lie to you? Come on, Mom, Dad, give me your bank cards. I'll transfer you some living expenses."
The elderly couple took out their bank cards, and Lu Yuan transferred five hundred million yuan to each of them. "Mom, Dad, look how thin you both are. Now that I have money, you should improve your quality of life."
The billion-yuan transfer set the elderly couple's hearts pounding. They had never seen so many digits in their lives!
Looking at the text notifications from their mobile banking app, they felt as though they were in a dream. It all seemed too unreal.
Lu Yuan glanced at his little sister, Lu Shishi, and asked for her card number too. He transferred a hundred million yuan to her. "Here, this is your spending money from your big brother. Whatever other little princesses have, my little sister Shishi should have too!"
"Take the hundred million and spend it however you like. When it runs out, just ask me for more!"
Lu Yuan didn't begrudge the 1.1 billion yuan he'd transferred to improve his family's quality of life. After all, the grace of raising him outweighed everything.
If several trillion yuan in assets weren't so frightening, Lu Yuan wouldn't have transferred only a billion yuan. He could only reveal his wealth to them little by little in the future. Sigh, it turned out being rich was a kind of trouble too!
Lu Shishi was also stunned by the hundred million yuan in spending money. Although she'd grown used to Lu Yuan's lavish spending over the past two days, her little heart couldn't take him handing over a hundred million with a wave of his hand!
"Bro, you gave me a billion yuan in spending money all at once. Won't my future sister-in-law get jealous?"
Lu Yuan gave her a playful smile. "I haven't met your future sister-in-law yet, have I? Until I do, I'll be good to you alone and dote only on you!"
"We'll talk about it when I meet her!"
Hearing this, Lu Shishi puffed out her cheeks in anger and put one hand on her hip. "Oh, so that's what you're thinking! Once you have a wife, you won't dote on me anymore, is that it?"
"Get a wife and forget your sister, forget your sister at the sight of a beauty. Men really are all big pig trotters!"
