Episode 2

“爸，你开什么玩笑？买房买车？你以为我不知道你什么水平？你不是应该在魔都工作吗？怎么回来了？”

宁小凡不相信他们的故事。如果他们真的有钱，为什么还要出去打工？

电话那头传来刺耳的笑声，但听起来自信满满。“电话里解释不了，来你们学校附近的星巴克吧，我们到了。”

哔哔哔……通话结束。

星巴克。

老头子还是有一些手段的。在宁小凡的记忆中，一百块钱的裤子都会被严厉批评教育。更不用说肯德基、麦当劳，甚至这种更高档的星巴克。

今天实在是太奇怪了！

Ning Xiaofan went to the Starbucks near the school with a stomach full of doubts. From far away, he saw a shiny and dazzling Range Rover parked at the entrance. Damn, it was so cool! Ning Xiaofan also knew a little bit about cars. After all, he was a man. He would also be attracted to cars even if he was poor.

Besides playing games, he also studied cars blindly.

The floating and graceful roof line, the continuous waist line, and the three classic lines under the body of the car with Land Rover features, all made it handsome and yuppie. It is said that a Range Rover is every man's dream. Seeing this brand-new black Range Rover, Ning Xiaofan, who already had a huge fondness for the car itself, couldn't help but restrain himself.

He wanted to reach out and touch the shiny black engine hood reflecting the dazzling sunlight.

"What are you doing?"

He was a finger's width away, and the security guard at the entrance shouted.

Waving his electric baton and staring intensely at Ning Xiaofan as if he were a thief, the security guard feared that he would remove some screw from the Land Rover. "Hey man, I just wanted to test drive this car since it looks so new. I don't have any ill intentions," Ning Xiaofan explained. "Test drive? You've got to be kidding me! Look at your sorry appearance, you'll be lucky if you can afford a meal, and you want to test drive a Land Rover? Get lost and if you dirty the car, can you afford to compensate for it?" The security guard sneered. The man's pants had almost worn out, and he was joking about test driving a car. "If you're not allowed to touch it, you're not allowed to touch it. Why are you insulting me?" Ning Xiaofan was furious, another person who looked down on him. "I'll beat you up if you don't leave now! Get out of here! You're always showing off and you're broke! Get lost, get lost, get lost!" The security guard lifted his electric baton as he spoke. As a man, Ning Xiaofan refused to be bullied, "One day, I'll be able to afford a Land Rover myself!" "Ha, if someone like you can afford it, I'll eat sh*t live on stream!" The security guard spat on the ground and stopped when Ning Xiaofan walked away. ... Upstairs in Starbucks, ignoring the disdainful and impatient glances of the cashier and waiters, Ning Xiaofan finally found his parents. However, he was truly shocked and couldn't believe his eyes. "Mom and Dad, is that really you?" These weren't his parents who used to be so poor they couldn't afford anything, they were wearing high-end clothes that he didn't even know the brand of. The sense of nobility they exuded was incredibly strong.

What brand is the mechanical watch on dad's wrist? It looks really high-end. And what about that gold ring with the jade inlay on mom's finger? That must be worth a lot of money, right? There are also those gold earrings, and the red bracelet with what seems to be chicken-blood stone... Ning Xiaofan felt a bit overwhelmed.

"What's wrong, Xiaofan? Don't you recognize your parents?"

Mom Xu Hui wasn't surprised at all by Ning Xiaofan's stunned expression. It seemed like everything was under their control. Dad Ning Haiping gave a smile and they exchanged a look.

"What's really going on, mom and dad?"

"Don't worry about it. Let's sit down and have some tea first. Your school doesn't even have a tea house, just this coffee shop. Luckily, I brought some Dahongpao tea with me. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome." Dad poured himself a cup of tea and leisurely started drinking it.

Dahongpao?

Ning Xiaofan couldn't remember his dad ever having a habit of drinking tea. Wasn't it always white water in a big porcelain bowl?

Moreover, the tea leaves sounded expensive.

"Xu Hui, this place isn't that big. If it doesn't work out, let's just buy it and turn it into a tea house. Next time we come to see our son, at least there will be a place to drink tea." Dad glanced up at Starbucks, but his tone didn't sound like he was joking.

But Mom Xu Hui rolled her eyes, "What are you thinking? Although this coffee shop isn't worth much, don't forget that the affairs of Jiangbei will be handed over to our son in the future. As for what to drink, don't make any decisions without his say so. This side listens to our son!"

"That's true, hehe." Hearing this, Ning Haiping also gave a foolish grin.

But it was Ning Xiaofan who was still the most confused.

A shabby coffee shop?

And the way they said it, it seemed like they could just buy it if they wanted to.

"What the hell is going on?!" exclaimed Ning Xiaofan. The Starbucks next to the school was doing fairly well, at least earning one or two million. His parents couldn't be bragging, could they?! "What is going on?!" he demanded. Seeing his son getting agitated, his father took a leisurely sip of tea before saying, "Son, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Playing coy! "The bad news," replied Ning Xiaofan, steeling himself. "Your mother and I have been lying to you for twenty years. You shouldn't have had to live like this for the past two decades," sighed Ning Haiping. "What?!" Ning Xiaofan's heart skipped a beat. "Am I not your biological son?" "What are you thinking?!" His mother couldn't take it anymore, interrupting him. "Don't listen to your father. Let me just tell you. Our family's life is actually much wealthier than you imagined. Look at how we're dressed today. This is the real us." "For the first twenty years, due to our family's policy of raising children to be modest, you suffered a lot. But we had no choice. That's just how our family operates. Your father went through the same thing. After tomorrow, you'll be twenty, and we must tell you this fact." "Xiaofan, actually, you're a second-generation rich person!" Ning Xiaofan looked at Xu Hui and then at Ning Haiping. At this moment, his ears were ringing, buzzing like machines. But among all the complex machine noises, the words "Xiaofan, actually, you're a second-generation rich person" echoed incessantly, as if it was on repeat. Me! Ning Xiaofan! I'm actually a second-generation rich person?! Is God messing with me right now? Hahaha...

二十年来，我一直很穷。可现在，我一下子成了富二代！

真是太搞笑了！

“爸，妈，别开玩笑了！”
