Chapter 242: Chapter 187: Turbulence in Magic City

Grandpa, although he had already celebrated his eightieth birthday,

clearly still didn't have any major health issues and was sure to live a few more years.

Perhaps it was because he was too heartbroken over his children that he thought about leaving half of his money to the caregiver who looked after him.

The caregiver was an outsider, and you can't say she was completely without ulterior motives.

Chen Pingsheng came over merely to bring the situation within a somewhat reasonable range.

Despite Grandpa saying he wanted to give the caregiver half, once he died and a few children took the matter to court,

the caregiver would still have to give it up.

His suggestion was to give one million, something the children could also accept.

With the rest of the money, they would buy a bigger house; if the old house were demolished and Grandpa really dared to give half of his money to the caregiver,

there probably wouldn't be anyone left to care for him in his old age and send him off at the end.

It was unknown when even such close family relationships had become so cold.

It seemed that for the sake of money, everyone could become ruthless.

Chen Pingsheng merely proposed a compromise, which the others could accept as well.

After all, if the caregiver wasn't satisfied with the money dropping from fifteen million to one million,

she would truly anger Grandpa on the spot.

Who knows what kind of mess it would cause by then.

Grandpa's heart was actually very clear; he had lived to an age where there wasn't much he couldn't understand.

The reason he did this was nothing more than the deep hurt his children caused him.

Knowing his spouse had passed away early, he raised these people alone.

Any parent knows how difficult it is to raise a child.

But ever since he had grown old,

not even one person came to see him regularly, and it was the caregiver who looked after him when he had the occasional illness or pain.

In a fit of anger, he didn't want to leave the money to his eldest daughter, Liu Xiu'ai, or his younger brother, Liu Aihua.

Now it was all settled; all the money was in the new house, and any quarrels would have to wait until the elder was on his deathbed.

Chen Pingsheng could say he had solved a minor trouble.

There would definitely be disputes later on; if they didn't argue over it now, they would later squabble over the house.

That wasn't his problem anymore, there are truly too many injustices in this world.

A college student helping an old lady across the street could suffer a lifelong shadow over it; what isn't possible?

Chen An'an came from a wealthy background; if she wanted to do good, Chen Pingsheng wouldn't stop her.

But people nowadays are truly unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost mid-July, the temperature was exceptionally hot,

and he picked up his bag, ready to go to Magic City to attend the Bobo Milk Tea Nationwide Franchise Conference.

Accompanying him were the spoiled brat Chen An'an, his younger sister Chen Qi, and five or six bodyguards.

Although the times were peaceful, necessary security measures were still a must.

The three of them flew to Hongqiao Airport, a journey under the escort of blue skies and white clouds.

By the time they arrived, towering skyscrapers surrounded them everywhere.

This was very different from Capital City, where the buildings were generally not tall.

Magic City, on the other hand, was different; everything here was about a certain flair.

Anyone not from Greater Magic City was considered an outsider once they came here.

A city with an air of superiority.

Yang Qian and Chu Qiuyan, Zhao Feifei, they were all here.

As soon as the three of them landed, a Toyota Alphard came to pick them up.

The person who arrived was naturally Yang Qian; she appeared confident and professional in her business attire.

After one or two years post-divorce, she had truly started living her own life since coming to Capital City.

Now, having married her childhood sweetheart Chang Fu and only waiting for Bobo Milk Tea's successful public offering,

she was close to achieving complete financial freedom.

"Boss."

Old classmates had now switched to addressing him as the boss.

Of the three, Chen An'an's attire was the most exaggerated

A tune of intense melancholy, where in this vast world can one find a kindred spirit.

She carried a guzheng taller than herself on her back and held an erhu in her hand.

Chen Pingsheng suspected she wanted to come to Magic City to start a business as an owner; if that were the case, he would certainly stay as far away as possible.

As for his younger sister Chen Qi, she was just there to shop.

All three got into the car.

The Toyota Alphard wasn't the top-level MVP, but it was the best-selling minivan.

The two middle seats were taken by himself and his younger sister, forcing Chen An'an to sit at the back.

"Boss, I've booked a hotel for a week for you, over by The Bund,"

"Let's head to the hotel first, drop off our stuff and then we'll talk,"

Yang Qian had been in Magic City for a while, and as long as you had money, you'd probably like it here.

Without money, though, you'd get a different kind of treatment.

The hotel Yang Qian had booked for him had a view overlooking half of The Bund's beautiful scenery, costing around 150,000 per night.

Booked for seven days, it came to almost a million.

Chen An'an felt indifferent; such a hotel was far inferior to her family's large courtyard house.

The only difference was the high floors, offering a farther view.

She found this rather intriguing.

Her family had always lived in ground-floor villas, and even the Siheyuan were fairly low buildings.

If she would be coming to Magic City often, it might be worth considering buying an apartment here.

Apartments actually no longer had much investment value; if bought, they were just for personal use.

He didn't believe it; in super first-tier cities, the price per square meter had already gone up to one hundred thousand, and if it rose further, it would be skyrocketing.

The main issue was that it severely did not match the average person's income.

Yang Qian called over Chu Qiuyan and the others.

Chu Qiuyan was now very famous online, a school beauty goddess who was also a startup goddess.

Creating such a large milk tea business before truly graduating from college, she could be said to be an inspirational icon for university students everywhere.

Her reputation added a huge bonus to Bobo Milk Tea.

Many university students especially loved drinking their brand because of her.

A 150,000 per night room was definitely not small.

Approximately three to four hundred square meters, with a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the stunning views of The Bund, even though the view was most beautiful at night.
