Chapter 173: Chapter 173: 166, as a tycoon, one must spend! (Asking for monthly passes)

Leaving the hospital, Yang Hao took his father-in-law and mother-in-law to an upscale private kitchen restaurant.

After a seafood feast, the bill came to over twenty thousand.

Ding!

Congratulations to the host for receiving a filial piety cashback of 48,630 yuan!

As soon as Yang Hao had finished settling the bill, the System’s voice rang out.

Accompanied by a bank notification for the incoming transfer…

“Hao, this is too extravagant.”

“A meal that cost over twenty thousand!”

Upon leaving the private kitchen restaurant, Kang Huizhi immediately said with a pained expression on her face.

“Money isn’t important, what matters is that we had a good time.”

“It’s a whole new experience for you and dad, isn’t it?”

Yang Hao replied with a chuckle.

During the meal, his father-in-law and mother-in-law had been busy taking photos, and Li Baojun even seemed to have posted a video to the family group chat.

After all, people have their vanities and yearnings for a better life.

“Trying it once is enough, don’t spend so much next time,” said Kang Huizhi, truly distressed. Her monthly pension was just over two thousand, and this meal alone had consumed an entire year’s worth of her retirement fund.

Yang Hao smiled without replying. In his heart, he thought that spending money on food was too slow and not at all satisfying.

“Mom, didn’t the doctor say to keep in good spirits?”

“So don’t worry about money, my business is doing quite well, and I’m not short of money!”

Yang Hao casually responded, and then led his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the nearby Henglong.

For Kang Huizhi, the allure of luxury goods paled in comparison to gold jewelry, so Yang Hao took his parents-in-law straight to Chow Tai Fook.

“Good afternoon, sir, may I help you with anything?”

The female sales associate greeted warmly, assuming the group of four, looking like they were shopping for “five golds” for a wedding.

That’s right, it used to be “three golds,” but it has since been upgraded to “five golds.”

And these five golds are gold earrings, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold rings, and gold pendants.

If it was really as the saleswoman had guessed, then this would surely be a big sale!

“Let’s take a look at the bracelets first.”

Yang Hao had already noticed that Kang Huizhi only wore an old-fashioned gold ring on her hand and didn’t have any other pieces of jewelry.

“Sure.”

The sales associate led the group to the bracelet counter with a beaming smile.

Kang Huizhi initially thought her son-in-law was going to buy a bracelet for his daughter, but when they got to the counter, Yang Hao gestured to her, “Mom, which ones do you like?”

“Ah?”

“Me?”

Kang Huizhi was quite surprised and even overlooked the fact that Yang Hao had said “which ones.”@@novelbin@@

“Auntie, these models all suit you very well.”

Although the sales associate was also a bit surprised, she reacted promptly and opened the display drawer, taking out three bracelets suitable for the elderly.

The three bracelets had simple designs without flashy embellishments.

Kang Huizhi looked over the gleaming bracelets displayed on the counter, liking each one.

It’s a given that women of any age have no resistance to gold jewelry, especially women of Kang Huizhi’s age, who have a particular fondness for it.

“Auntie, let me help you try one on.”

The sales associate was quite perceptive, noticing from Yang Hao’s attire that he was likely someone well-off, given the Rolex on his wrist.

Though she couldn’t distinguish which model it was, she knew Rolex wasn’t cheap.

The sales associate placed one of the bracelets on Kang Huizhi’s left wrist, then put another on her right wrist.

“Auntie, which one do you like?”

The saleswoman asked with a smile.

Kang Huizhi looked at the one on her left hand, then at the one on her right hand; both looked great.

“Hao, which one do you think looks good?”

The indecisive Kang Huizhi turned to her son-in-law Yang Hao.

“Both look good.”

Yang Hao nodded with a smile and then said to the sales associate, “Wrap them up, please.”

“And this one too.”

Yang Hao also pointed to the bracelet that Kang Huizhi hadn’t tried on.

“Uh, sure!!”

The sales associate first froze for a moment, then was overwhelmed with joy.

“Sir, I’ll just go and prepare the invoice…”

While the saleswoman at the gold store had seen wealthy clients before, individuals as lavish as Yang Hao were rare, especially since he hadn’t even asked the price.

Now, she only regretted not bringing out more bracelets—perhaps the wealthy customer would have bought them all in one go.

“Xia, did that customer place an order so quickly?”

As Zhang Xia went to prepare the invoices, another idle sales associate approached her curiously, noting that the group had been in the store for less than five minutes.

“Yes, struck it rich.”

“Not only did he place an order, but he bought three bracelets at once!”

Zhang Xia was all smiles, secretly praising her good fortune.

“Ah? He bought three bracelets at once??”

The sales associate was startled and looked instinctively at Yang Hao. Their store’s bracelets weren’t cheap, especially with the recent gold price increase—any bracelet cost between twenty to thirty thousand, and heavier ones even more.

Adding it up, three bracelets would amount to a hundred thousand yuan.

A man who spends a hundred thousand yuan in minutes, truly sees money as no object!

Now coming back to her senses, Kang Huizhi exclaimed in astonishment, “Hao, this is too extravagant!”

“At my age, I don’t need so many bracelets!”

“And, they’re expensive…”

Kang Huizhi first looked at the price tags on the boxes. The cheapest of the three bracelets was 32,800 and the most expensive one was over forty thousand, meaning the three bracelets together cost just over a hundred thousand!

“You can switch them around when wearing them!”

“As long as you’re happy…”

Yang Hao smiled and didn’t explain much. If it wouldn’t have been too ostentatious to buy a dozen or twenty bracelets all at once, he would’ve certainly pointed at the counter and said, “Wrap up everything here!!”

However, the bracelets were just part of this gold shop trip. Yang Hao also bought Kang Huizhi some gold necklaces, rings, and earrings, as well as two of the larger style rings that his father-in-law, Li Baojun, preferred.

Yang Hao’s shopping spree left Zhang Xia, as well as the other salespeople in the store, utterly dumbfounded. Some of the saleswomen’s eyes were shining when they looked at Yang Hao, but after seeing Li Manni, they had to let go of the unrealistic fantasies in their hearts.

Ding!

Congratulations, host has earned 526,300 yuan in filial piety cashback.

Yang Hao paid with his card, and the sound from the System followed.

Hmm, still too little.

He had only spent over two hundred thousand!

Yang Hao sighed silently in his heart.

But the smiles on the corners of Kang Huizhi’s and Li Baojun’s lips just couldn’t be suppressed.

Not being materialistic doesn’t conflict with liking money.

Being hit by enormous wealth would make no one unhappy.

Li Baojun even posted a photo of himself wearing the shiny new rings to the family chat group, boasting: Gift from my son-in-law!!

Li Baojun was in two family groups, one was his own Li family’s, and the other was Kang Huizhi’s side.

Since there were quite a number of siblings in their generation, Li Baojun had five siblings and Kang Huizhi had six, each family group consisted of twenty to thirty people.

In the Li family group.

When Li Baojun’s younger brother, Li Baoguo, saw the picture his older brother had posted he immediately asked, curious: Second brother, is Manni getting married?

The relatives all knew about Li Manshu’s divorce, so Li Baoguo instinctively thought that his young niece Li Manni was getting married.

However, his question caught Li Baojun off guard. Officially, Yang Hao was his son-in-law through his eldest daughter, but now that a reconciliation between his eldest daughter and son-in-law was impossible, he and his wife had placed their hopes on their younger daughter, which was no easy thing to explain in the family group.

At this moment, Li Manshu, who was also in the group, jumped in: Uncle Three, it’s from Yang Hao!

Although Li Manshu was at work, she was still keeping an eye on her parents’ situation, occasionally sending WeChat messages to Kang Huizhi to check in on them.

Just now, Kang Huizhi had mentioned that Yang Hao took them to Henglong.

Li Baoguo: So it’s from Hao! Manshu, are you guys planning to get back together?

Li Yajun: Getting back together would be great. Hao is a good boy and you shouldn’t have divorced in the first place. Manshu, if you’re getting back together, let’s have a banquet. Your big aunt has to give a gift too.

Li Baojun, being the second in command at home, was at a loss watching the messages from his older sister and younger brother in the group.

At this point, Li Manshu spoke up again: When we get back together, we’ll definitely have a banquet.

Seeing his elder daughter’s message in the group, Li Baojun subconsciously glanced at Yang Hao and his younger daughter Li Manni walking ahead, his feelings complicated.

It was clear his elder daughter hadn’t given up, but now the son-in-law could only be considered a son-in-law through his younger daughter.

“Huizhi, take a look at the group chat. Look how Manshu responded, I don’t know how we’re going to explain this later…”

Li Baojun passed his phone to his wife Kang Huizhi.

She was initially basking in the joy of their haul, but after reading her elder daughter’s messages in the group, she was left somewhat speechless.

The elder daughter completely misunderstood the situation!

“Looks like I need to have a talk with Manshu tonight,” Kang Huizhi whispered.

“Yeah, we really need to clear this up, or it won’t end well later on…” Li Baojun nodded in agreement.

“Mom, Dad, Brother-in-law and I are going to use the restroom. Wait here for a bit.”

Li Manni’s attentive voice came as the two were in low discussion.

“Mm, okay.”

Kang Huizhi nodded, then pulled Li Baojun to sit down on a nearby bench.

“Huh, do they sell cars in the mall now?”

Across from the bench was an Ideal Car Experience Center with several cars parked inside, and Li Baojun couldn’t help but be curious.

“Uncle, you don’t know about this.”

“Now many new energy brand 4S shops are opened in shopping malls. This brand is called Ideal, and it’s selling really well!”

The young man sitting on the other side of the bench chatted up familiarly, wanting to show off his “knowledge” in front of the goddess he had finally managed to ask out.

Yes, in his view, understanding cars was also a form of knowledge.

Actually, this was just a precursor, the young man’s next words were key: “Feifei, didn’t I say I was going to buy a car last time? The one I really liked was the Ideal L7!”

“But after a comprehensive comparison, I think the Wenjie M7 is better, so, I’m planning to buy the Wenjie M7!”

“Of course, buying the Wenjie M7 isn’t about the few tens of thousands of yuan, it’s mainly because I trust Huawei’s Smart Driving System more…”

Yes, the young man’s ultimate goal in striking up a conversation was actually to bring up the topic of buying a car.

Li Baojun was curious about the young man’s words and asked, “Young man, what is smart driving?”

“Smart driving is intelligent driving technology. Normally, we drive and control the car ourselves, right? Huawei’s smart driving system can now achieve full-map autonomous driving, which means that in the future, when you drive, you just sit in the car without having to worry about anything…”

The young man rattled on, while also glancing at the goddess to catch her reaction.

He didn’t know whether his knowledge of cars would score points with her.

“So that’s like autonomous driving, right?”

“It’s amazing!!” Li Baojun was astonished and couldn’t help but exclaim.

At this moment, that Feifei sneered, gave the young man beside her a look, and complained, “Why are you telling all this to a bumpkin?”

“As if he could afford it!”

“Uh…”

The young man scratched his head awkwardly, clearly, his attempt to show off his “knowledge” had failed!

And Li Baojun, who had been belittled, grinned awkwardly; what the girl said wasn’t wrong after all – he couldn’t afford it!

But then, a voice rang out from behind them: “Dad, which car are you interested in?”

Yang Hao was drying his hands as he glanced at the woman named Feifei, who was quite attractive, dressed in an influencer’s style, with her chest exaggeratedly full.

The young man was probably attracted by that detail.

However, at that moment, Yang Hao’s Fiery Eyes skill gave a prompt: Detected large amounts of prosthetics, silicone, please mind milk drinking safety!!

Indeed, most situations that looked exaggerated at first glance turned out to be fake.

Of course, his own auntie, Doctor Guan, as well as Yibao were exceptions!

They were naturally beautiful, and the fat on their bodies knew exactly where it should go…
