âYang, how much did this liquor cost you?â
Sun Dehai asked curiously.
Upon hearing this question, everyoneâs gaze in the room fell on Yang Hao, all curious as to how much these four bottles of liquor could actually be worth.
Even Sun Xinyi quietly asked, âIs it really that expensive?â
Facing the curious looks, Yang Hao didnât keep them in suspense, gesturing with his hand a six: âSixty thousand.â
âHoly moly! Sixty thousand!!!â
âFour bottles of liquor for sixty thousand???â
âThatâs fifteen thousand per bottle!!â
âThis liquor is even more expensive than a gold bracelet!!!â
After Yang Hao announced the price, there was an immediate outcry from the crowd.
The four elders were particularly dumbfounded.
Bai Wensong, the younger brother, held his forehead, silently complaining to himself: He really did show off in the end.
âYang, there was no need to buy such expensive liquor!â
Sun Xinyi said in a low voice, then she squeezed Yang Haoâs hand under the table in a manner that showed her concern for her marital family while she was at her natal home.
She truly felt it was too expensive. The liquor, along with the gold bracelet and the other gifts, had a total value of over a hundred thousand!
Too extravagant!
âDehai, letâs not drink this liquor today, letâs have the Huanghelou Bai Wensong brought overâ¦â
Coming back to his senses, Sun Degang cheerfully suggested, as he returned the four bottles of liquor back into their box. He didnât even place them in the living room, but took them directly back to the bedroom.
He felt that was safer. If they were left in the living room, someone might accidentally kick it or something after drinking too much, risking damage!
Sun Dehai didnât say much; this was understandable. If it was a two-thousand-plus Moutai for a little taste, fine.
But this liquor, damn it, fifteen thousand a bottle!
What status does he have!
To think he deserves such expensive liquor!!
While Sun Dehai was feeling emotional, he subconsciously glanced at Yang Hao. This boyfriend his niece brought home was indeed extraordinary; just the gifts he brought were worth over a hundred thousand!
What kind of family does he come from!
Throughout the meal, Sun Nannan couldnât help but take a covert look at her âBrother-in-law,â who had given her mother a gold bracelet and her father a sixty-thousand-yuan worth of liquor.
But it seemed there was no gift for her!
Itâs true, minors are always overlooked, arenât they!
Iâm going to be an adult soon!
And I can go to college in Septemberâ¦
Sun Nannan silently grumbled to herself.
Just then, she saw her brother-in-law stand up from his seat and fetch a tastefully wrapped paper bag from the pile of gifts on the ground.
âNannan, your gift!â
Yang Hao cheerfully passed the paper bag to Sun Nannan.
âHuh?â
âThereâs a gift for me???â
Sun Nannan was both surprised and delighted, thinking to herself: Can my brother-in-law hear my thoughts?
Just like in those online novels!
Of course, Yang Hao couldnât actually hear her thoughts; he was simply thorough in his considerations.
âThank you, Brother-in-law!â
After a brief pause, Sun Nannan quickly took the gift and expressed her thanks.
Then the young girl couldnât wait to unwrap the paper bagâ¦
Ah!
A phone!!
Sun Nannan exclaimed, her eyes shining.
Her brother-in-law had given her a brand-new âApple 15pro max.â
Although the hottest phone at the moment was far ahead of others, students still preferred Apple phones, as they felt it gave them status.
Some students even listed âphone modelâ as a separate category in their social profiles, flaunting an Apple.
Yang Hao didnât really study mobile phones; his principle for gift-giving was to cater to the preferences of the recipient and to consider everyoneâs practical needs.
You give them what they like, right!
Yibaoâs younger sister can be considered as his own sister-in-law, so establishing a good relationship was necessary.@@novelbin@@
However, this sister-in-law had a suffix: sister-in-law number 2!
And Li Manni was the âchief sister-in-law,â her status unshakeable.
âLong live Brother-in-law!â
âBrother-in-law is so good~!â
Sun Nannan, obviously a more upbeat girl than her sister, was utterly thrilled by the Apple phone and couldnât help cheering.
âYang, there was no need for Nannan, a high school student, to have such an expensive phoneâ¦â
Sun Xinyi murmured quietly.
âSheâs going to be in college in just a few months anyway!â
Yang Hao smiled and then said to Sun Nannan, âNannan, try to play less with the phone, okay? Once the college entrance exams are over, you can play however you like.â
âMhm, Iâll listen to Brother-in-law!â
Sun Nannan nodded repeatedly.
At this time, He Min and Sun Degang exchanged glances subconsciously. Their daughterâs âson-in-lawâ was not simple, having managed to appease all three of them.
In such a situation, how could one have the nerve to ask about his past marriage?
Indeed, they felt a bit awkward to ask, but Zhang Hongli had not forgotten about it, and by this point, she wasnât just asking for Bai Wensongâs sake, but also to find some emotional balance for herself.
With a daughter of her own, their family had not received any significant gifts when she got married.
Yet this grandniece brought home a boyfriend, and before even discussing marriage, they had already received gifts worth more than a hundred thousand!
People are afraid of comparisons!
After silently making the comparison in her mind, Zhang Hongli felt out of sorts.
So, she cleared her throat and asked, âYang, you mentioned earlier that you were married before. Do you have any children?â
With this question, once again, all eyes were focused on Yang Hao.
Because this question was crucial!
Nowadays, people donât care much about a marriage certificate, but whether there are children involved is a big deal, as it affects a lot of things.
âI have a daughter, five years old.â
Yang Hao answered truthfully.
Ah?
He actually has a daughter???
He Min and Sun Degang were totally shocked by the answer.
Zhang Hongli, however, revealed a smile on her face, thinking to herself that itâs no wonder he was behaving so generouslyâit turns out thereâs such a big flaw!
Zhang Hongli immediately slapped the labels âolder,â âdivorced,â and âwith childâ onto Yang Hao.
Her little brother Bai Wensong, sitting next to her, was overjoyed, puffing out his chest and holding his head high.
He stood up!
Iâve risen again!
Bai Wensong shouted in his heart.
Just now, he had been completely suppressed by Yang Hao, in every aspect.
But now, he felt he was propping back up again.
Choice A: Young, single, childless
Choice B: Older, divorced, with child
Is this even a multiple-choice question?
This is a freebie, right!!!
Sun Xinyi, oh Sun Xinyi, you have to take this freebie!
Bai Wensong cleared his throat forcefully, attempting to get Sun Xinyiâs attention, but she wasnât looking at him at all. Instead, she was gazing affectionately at the older man beside her, clinging tightly to his arm as if she wanted to show everyone present.
Having a child doesnât matter!
I want to be a stepmother!!
âYang, you know that Xinyi is only 24 years old, right?â The overjoyed Zhang Hongli spoke again.
âMhm, I know,â Yang Hao nodded.
âSo do you think itâs appropriate for a 24-year-old to be a stepmother?â
âHonestly, Xinyi is still a child herself, immature in her thinking!â Zhang Hongli continued.
This comment about being immature was also a hint at her poor choice in a boyfriend.
âSecond Aunt, my relationship with Yang is something Iâve considered very carefully.â
âSince Iâve chosen to be with him, I will gladly accept everything about him!â
Sun Xinyi expressed her stance with conviction, and her talk of âgladly accepting everything about himâ actually encompassed far more than the others at the scene were thinking.
They only thought Sun Xinyi was talking about being divorced and having a child.
But in truth, it included everything, like Meng Yuyu and so onâ¦
âXinyi, youâre still young, thereâs so much you donât understand yet!â
Zhang Hongli sighed and then turned to Yang Hao, âYang, youâve been through this. You shouldnât be so impulsive in your actions!â
âYou should look further aheadâ¦â
Yang Hao played dumb: âSo what do you mean, Second Aunt?â
âI donât mean anything special.â
âI just hope that both you and Xinyi will make your decisions carefully!â
Zhang Hongli spread her hands and continued, âMarriage and dating are two completely different things. Thereâs a lot to consider.â
âFor example, you have a daughter. So when you and Xinyi get married, youâll still want to have children. Then the matter of renting a large enough place for a family of four is a major issue, with housing prices in Jiangcheng being so highâ¦â
Zhang Hongli kept rambling on, but Yang Hao felt he had heard all this before.
Right, it had been at Guan Mengmengâs house.
The elders were also quite unsatisfied with his status.
However, later at dinner, Guan Mengmengâs mother kept asking Yang Hao when he was going to get marriedâ¦
Yang Hao looked up at Zhang Hongli, silently mocking in his heart: This upright and principled Second Aunt of mine, I hope you can always maintain such integrity!
Donât wimp out later!
âSo, Yang!â
âDo you have a house in Jiangcheng?â
After a lengthy lead-up, Zhang Hongli threw out her question.
âYes, I do.â
Yang Hao nodded.
âHow big is it?â Zhang Hongli pressed further.
â688 square metersâ¦â Yang Hao replied nonchalantly.
âYou see, 68â¦â
Zhang Hongli originally intended to say, a house of sixty-eight square meters is too small to live in.
But her brain immediately corrected this mistake.
Itâs 688!!
He said 688â¦
Zhang Hongliâs eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yang Hao, âYouâre talking about a six hundred eighty-eight square meter house??â
He Min and Sun Degang also turned their gazes towards him.
They were shocked by the number 688 as well.
It would take a very wealthy magnate to buy a 688 square meter house.
Bai Wensongâs mouth, meanwhile, began to twitch violently.
He felt sure that this guy was bluffing!
After all, the house was far away in Jiangcheng and not so easily checked, but really, this was too absurd!
Even if you had said two hundred square meters, with the previous lavish display for credibility, people might have believed youâ¦
But now you say you have a 688 square meter house.
Do you even know what a 688 square meter house looks like!
You probably donât even have a concept of 688 square meters!
Bai Wensong ranted furiously in his mind.
At that moment, however, Sun Xinyi spoke up, âSecond Aunt, Yang does own a 688 square meter house. Iâm aware of this fact and thereâs no doubt about it!â
âAlso, Yang is not only my boyfriend, he is also the leader in my current workplaceâ¦â
âThe President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!â
