Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 518 - 474: Inferiority

"Go, go, go, if you want to eat, hurry up and wash your hands first. You come in from the cold outside and don’t even think to grab a drink of water to warm yourself up."

Familiar as ever with these two boys, they’ve certainly eaten at our house plenty of times, and we never considered them outsiders.

Of course, that’s because Li Wentao’s parents both work regular jobs, so besides working every day, they naturally don’t have time to follow the news online.

This means that although they’re aware China has a formidable company called Nuclear Group, and they know it was possibly started by a university student, they simply cannot imagine any connection between this enterprise and these two boys.

Not only that, when their son would come home, they’d even use this matter to educate him, saying something like, "Look, they’re your generation, they’re university students too, yet they created such a big enterprise; when will you succeed?"

"Moreover, let’s not compare ourselves to those prodigies; let’s just talk about you guys.

Look at Lin Yi and Li Huiqun, you three play together all the time, yet the two of them got into Capital City, while you only got into a low-level college."

Ordinarily, I’d tell your dad to make sure you study hard; now you know to regret it, right?"

However, when Li Wentao hears these words, he can’t help but feel a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he never told his parents that the prodigy they speak of is actually Lin Yi.

As Li Wentao listened to his mom’s nagging, Lin Yi just chuckled, quickly reached into the platter to grab a fried meatball, and hurriedly dodged away, making sure to throw in a compliment:

"Hehe, it’s mainly because your dishes are so delicious, I can’t even wait to take a sip of water."

Upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Li Wentao’s mom instantly beamed with joy and pointed at Lin Yi:

"Haha, you’re the one who knows how to talk, your mouth has been honeyed since you were a kid.

In college, who knows how many girls you’ve sweet-talked?

Alright, alright, you all go and relax, I’ll whip up a few dishes for lunch, and we’ll eat at home."

Watching Lin Yi joke around with his mom, there wasn’t the slightest sense of unfamiliarity, and this feeling was exactly the same as years ago.

Seeing this, Li Wentao standing there was lost in thought, but a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Looks like it was always me overthinking; maybe it wasn’t them who changed, but me.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Li Huiqun came up to Li Wentao, and each of them greeted him with a playful punch:

"Hey, you’ve grown big! Since going to school, you’ve stopped contacting us? Come on, we’ve got something good, let’s go out for a stroll with us three."

For some reason, watching Lin Yi’s actions and hearing his words, Li Wentao felt a bittersweet sensation, almost bringing tears to his eyes.

He really wanted to say, "It’s not that I don’t contact you, it’s that I don’t dare to! Who knows if you still see me as your buddy...?"

Of course, such self-pitying words wouldn’t come out of his mouth.

After all, given his temperament, no matter what grievances he has between brothers, he’d just keep it in his heart.

After saying hello, they pulled Wentao out of the small courtyard of his house.

As they left the courtyard, Li Wentao seemed to regain his old feeling, loosen up a bit, and showed a smile of hard-to-conceal excitement.

Yet as soon as they stepped out of the courtyard, his smile turned a bit stiff.

And the reason? It was the car parked at the entrance that Li Huiqun had driven.

Perhaps in this third-tier small city, many people don’t understand the true value of this car.

But Li Wentao was different, because Nuclear Group is Lin Yi’s, his childhood friend’s.

Though he wouldn’t openly contact the two, behind the scenes he’d silently keep an eye on every move of the entire Nuclear Group.

Precisely because of this, he recognized the car in front of him at a glance as the most high-end model of Nuclear Car~ the Nuclear Golden Dragon.

Not to mention anything else, just the value of a single car like this, if released to the market, would start at a million.

That’s right, a million starting, just starting, no one dares to say how much its actual selling price might be.

After all, Nuclear Car has yet to sell a single Nuclear Golden Dragon to anyone.

Because of this, owning a Nuclear Golden Dragon car would be an incredibly prestigious matter.

Perhaps for the sake of this Nuclear Golden Dragon, some tycoon might splurge millions on it—it’s not impossible.

Of course, that’s because he didn’t know the Golden Dragon in front of him was a special customized version with a serial number.

If such a car was really put on the market, it definitely wouldn’t start at a million but would be priced in the billions.

It was because of this car that Li Wentao, who had just regained his mood, was suddenly brought back to reality.

The two guys in front of him, while still smiling along with him now, had undergone astounding transformations in identity.

Should I really continue to call them brothers as before? Would they still think highly of me?

At this moment, Li Wentao’s mind was buzzing with complicated thoughts, overall feeling pretty uncomfortable.

Seeing this expression, Lin Yi immediately understood what was on his mind.

Right now, saying anything would be futile, such feelings can only be resolved when he figures it out himself; otherwise, any reassurance would only make things more confusing.

So, Lin Yi acted as if he didn’t notice his expression, wrapped an arm around him and led him towards the car.

"Let’s go, hurry up, Li Huiqun has got some great stuff, let’s enjoy ourselves today. Hey, later we’ll have Huiqun show off some ’talent’ as well! Hehehe..."

While talking, he casually opened the back car door, pushed Li Wentao in, and jumped into the back seat himself, skipping the front passenger seat.
