However, Lu Mingfei's attempt to change the subject was clumsily obvious. Not only did Uesugi Etsu refuse to play along, but even Uncle and Aunt didn't respond to him for a moment.
This couldn't strictly be blamed on Uncle and Aunt for being mercenary or money-obsessed. After all, over one hundred billion yen was an astronomical figure that ordinary people could never hope to see in a lifetime. That kind of money was enough to buy any skyscraper in Japan. Short of a global war, a massive extinction-level plague, or a zombie apocalypse, if this sum were deposited in a bank in installments, the interest alone would be more than enough for ordinary people to spend across ten lifetimes.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Mingfei wisely shut his mouth and played dumb. For a moment, the only sounds in the entire ramen stall were the rustling slurps of noodles and the sounds of people drinking soup. Uesugi Etsu glanced at Erii from time to time, Erii looked at Lu Mingfei, Uncle looked at Aunt, Aunt looked at Uncle, Lu Mingze ate his noodles while eyeing his own parents, and Lu Mingfei darted shifty glances at everyone in turn.
