Chapter 831: 831: It's Time to Defend Your Image!

“Didn’t your dad kick you out? I know you’ve been living the good life, and it’s hard to change habits overnight, but…” Che Qin tried to put it as gently as she could, “Let’s try to save where we can, right? We still have to live, right?”

Le Yu was completely bewildered.

What’s going on, I’m so poor I don’t know about it?

“I have money! Who’s spreading rumors that I’m broke?”

“You said so yourself.”

Le Yu: …Did I say that?

Regardless of whether he did or didn’t, Le Yu felt the need to set things straight.

“I wasn’t kicked out of the house. How could I, Le the Younger, not even have money for a meal?” Le Yu said with utter conviction as he dragged her along, “Come with me and see for yourself, what ‘no money’! That’s a joke if I ever heard one.”

You can say I lack taste, but you can’t say I lack money!

It was time to defend his image!

Meanwhile, at the Le family home, Mr. Le was chuckling as he spoke on the phone.

“Manager Wei, you’ve been such a help during this period. My boy, Le Yu, is a bit of a blockhead. Has he caused you any trouble?”

“Not at all, Le Yu is hardworking and picks things up quickly. He really contributed to this investigation and made some achievements.”

“Oh, that’s all thanks to you leading him well.”

However, Le Guangkai’s happiness didn’t last long. He could tell Manager Wei was hesitating, clearly having something difficult to say.

“Manager Wei, is there something troubling you? Has the kid Le Yu been causing trouble?” Le Guangkai sat up straight.

“It’s not exactly trouble,” Manager Wei hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “Mr. Le, let me be frank with you. Le Yu works hard and has the ability, but he loves luxury too much. When the boss went to H City later on, well, you know how it is.”

“How is it?”

“Le Yu won’t drink wine unless it costs at least ten thousand, he changed his single room for a presidential suite, and he won’t ride in anything but luxury cars, insisting on his sports car. His dress, food, and living standards are even better than our boss’s. Clients see him and they directly call him the boss. I mean, isn’t that a bit excessive?”

Mr. Le had never imagined his son could be so extravagant.

Manager Wei spoke earnestly, “Le Yu’s promotion, I fought hard for that. I value his abilities, but his inability to endure hardship… sigh…”

A sigh that carried endless disappointment.

Mr. Le instantly wanted to drag his son in for a lesson.

As the call ended, Mr. Le sat in silence with a stern face.

He understood what Manager Wei meant. It’s common for affluent living to lead to luxury, but his son’s lack of situational awareness was unacceptable.

This won’t do at all. He had only one son, waiting for him to mature and take over the family business. Now that the son was finally shaping up, he couldn’t go soft on him. He had to straighten out whatever had gone wrong.

Enjoying luxury with his father’s money? Hah!

It’s time for him to experience the hardships of life!

So, when Le Yu returned home and saw the suitcase at the doorway, he was utterly flabbergasted.

“Dad?”

Mr. Le stood in front of the door, “Don’t call me dad. From today on, you move out.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What have I done?”

“You don’t know what you’ve done?” Mr. Le put on a stern face, “You’re asking me? Reflect on it yourself. From now on, you’re not to touch a dime of the family’s money. Every time you come back, I’ll kick you out again.”

Being kicked out again, truly kicked out?

Le Yu let out an inner wail.

Without money, without a luxury car, unable to afford luxury goods or savor the finest delicacies.

Le Yu tried desperately to redeem himself, “Dad, dad, give me another chance!”

“Get lost. A man in his twenties should fend for himself.” Mr. Le was as unyielding as iron, unmoved.

Le Yu clung to him, almost wishing he could cling to his legs and not let go, “Dad, I’m your own son.”

“Get out of here, and no howling!” Mr. Le scolded, like dealing with a child who couldn’t wean. What a sight.
