Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Brother-in-law, is this the real deal? (Looking for monthly passes)

Actually, when Wang Yan mentioned the number 50,000, she deliberately emphasized it a bit more. For her, a college student who had just stepped into society, gifts worth over 10,000 were already considered expensive, let alone those costing several thousand.

The most expensive gift she had ever received was a MK bag from her boyfriend, worth a bit over 3,000.

But in such a situation, if she were to say that her threshold for valuable gifts was just a few thousand or 10,000, wouldn’t that make her seem too cheap? That’s why she came up with the figure of 50,000.

Unexpectedly, even after she multiplied her mental threshold for an expensive gift by tenfold, Yang Hao still answered with a yes.

And that yes took everyone present by surprise.

After all, strictly speaking, Li Manni and her five roommates were still considered college students since they wouldn’t receive their diplomas until July.

Although they had started working, their mindset hadn’t completely shifted, and their values were still in a phase of being accepted and integrated.

Therefore, to them, 50,000 was a lot, a huge sum indeed!

Wang Yan’s boyfriend, Zheng Shuqi, raised his eyebrows. As a department manager at a media company, he interacted with this room full of college students fresh into society with a condescending attitude. Moreover, Li Manni’s good looks attracted him, and this man who already had a girlfriend was actually feeling restless inside and even thought about finding an excuse to add her on WeChat later.

So, before Yang Hao arrived, he had been actively showing off, and the oblivious Wang Yan thought her boyfriend was doing this to gain her face. In reality, the man’s intentions weren’t on the wine at all; it was all about peacocking.

However, Yang Hao’s arrival disrupted Zheng Shuqi’s rhythm. All eyes were suddenly drawn to the newcomer, especially with Xu Wenqian’s gift-guessing game.

The focus naturally shifted to this older man who brought a child to the birthday party.

Zheng Shuqi, feeling upstaged, was naturally annoyed, but after hearing the conversation between his girlfriend and Yang Hao, he was shocked.

The gift was actually more than 50,000! Not to mention freshly graduated college students, even he, who had struggled for years in the job market, felt it was excessive.

Brother-in-law?

Is this a real brother-in-law??

In his mind, Zheng Shuqi silently complained, and after a moment of shock, he calmed down.

When Yang Hao entered the private room, he scrutinized him carefully. The man was dressed casually, without any big-name brands, not even a decent watch on his wrist.

Could such a person really give a gift worth over 50,000??

“Yang, you’re not going to give Manni an Hermès, are you??”

At this moment, Xu Wenqian asked eagerly, her eyes shining.

Yang Hao had already given a Prada handbag last time, and he also drove a luxury car worth over a million, so Xu Wenqian had no doubts about Yang’s financial capabilities.

Upon hearing Xu Wenqian’s question, everyone’s gaze once again fell on Yang Hao.

Hermès!

The fighter jet among luxury brands!

For young girls, of course, it was hugely attractive!

Under the expectant stares, Yang Hao gently shook his head, “No!”

“Wenqian, you’ve used up your chance.”

Yang Hao really took on the role of an NPC.

Having fun with a bunch of young girls was indeed a pleasurable thing for body and mind.

“Is it jewelry?”

Cao Yanyan used her chance to ask.

“No!”

Yang Hao gave another negative answer.

“Ah, I’m so dumb, I should have asked directly about the category too…”

Xu Wenqian showed regret, as she suddenly realized Cao Yanyan’s approach was smart, directly eliminating an entire category of jewelry.

“I’ll go!”

Liu Meiyu took over, “Is it a bag?”

“No!”

Yang Hao denied it yet again.

With several consecutive nos, the girls were somewhat baffled.

From the perspective of a deduction game, they realized they had too few clues.

“Is it a watch?”

Then, Wang Weiwei, who had already secured a place to pursue further studies at Yanjing University, asked.

“No!”

Yang Hao once again responded with a no.@@novelbin@@

“If it’s not this and not that, you surely can’t be gifting a car!”

Zheng Shuqi had not intended to join the game; he was just envious of Yang Hao being surrounded by a group of girls, so he threw out a sarcastic remark offhandedly.

But as soon as his words dropped, Yang Hao gave him a slight smile, “Yes!!”

Ah???

Zheng Shuqi was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong, “You said yes???”

“That’s right, it’s yes!”

Yang Hao nodded at the man with a smile.

He could clearly hear the sarcasm in the other’s tone, but it didn’t matter. Without such a person there to show off, half the fun would be lost.

Of course, Yang Hao wasn’t showing off on purpose.

But the thing was, giving a Porsche as a gift was in itself a showy act.

Even if you say, “I’m not, I didn’t, I don’t want to!”

It’s useless.

The Porsche brand in the eyes of ordinary people inherently carries the attribute of high status.

So later, when the car arrives, even if Yang Hao keeps a low profile, he will be tagged with labels like showing off his wealth, or being a rich tycoon, or the like!

The thing is, when Yang Hao bought the car, he really didn’t think so much. He just wanted to give his ex-aunt a car for commuting and shelter. Coincidentally, his buddy’s girlfriend was selling Porsches, so he went to support her sales. There should be no problem with that, right!

But Yang Hao’s yes had an even more explosive effect than his answer to Wang Yan.

A cry of surprise immediately resounded in the private room.

“Yes??”

“Which means he’s really going to give a car!”

“Wow! A car! That’s way too lavish!”

“Holy crap, a car for a birthday gift! What kind of god-tier tycoon move is that!”

“Yang, I have a sister too, mind if I become your little auntie as well?”

“…”

The crowd began to discuss boisterously while Li Manni looked at her former brother-in-law in astonishment. She had expected him to bring a nice gift, but she never imagined it would be a car!

This gift was just too outrageous!

As a college graduate who had just started working, she was now driving a car.

In a few months, she had traversed what it took ordinary workers years to achieve…

“Yang, what kind of car did you get?”

“Ah, I can’t wait…”

Xu Wenqian rubbed her hands together in anticipation as she eagerly asked.

“Wenqian, the car isn’t for you, why are you so excited!” Wang Yan teased with a laugh.

“Even if the car isn’t mine, the passenger seat is mine, right!”

“Right, my dear Manni baby?”

Xu Wenqian draped her arm around her best friend’s neck, even using the nickname they normally jest about in private.

However, Li Manni’s face turned bright red at the mention of “Manni baby,” and she pinched Xu Wenqian hard on the thigh: “Stop calling me that!”

“Mm-hmm, I won’t say it, unless you ask me to…”

Xu Wenqian replied with a giggling retort.

Wang Yan joined in, joking on the side: “Wenqian, I suspect you are ‘driving’!”

“Haha, just remove the ‘suspect’ and you’ll be right.”

Cao Yanyan chimed in agreement.

The girls instantly burst into laughter.

“Dad, what’s so funny about driving?”

Seeing several aunts laughing heartily and not getting the joke, Xixi couldn’t help but look up at her father.

“Uh, well…”

Yang Hao had no way to explain and shot Xu Wenqian, the instigator of this mischief, a frustrated glare: “If you corrupt the child, the unscrupulous landlord is going to raise the rent!”

“Ah!”

“No, please don’t!”

Xu Wenqian immediately cowered, succumbing to the tyranny of the landlord big brother.

“Yang, stop beating around the bush. What car is it already?”

Wang Yan brought the conversation back to the car.

“It isn’t a BMW or Mercedes, is it??” Cao Yanyan guessed along.

Hearing her suggest this, Zheng Shuqi subconsciously curled his lip, muttering quietly, “That’s young people who are just starting society for you! Thinking BMWs and Mercedes are as worthless as they sound on Kuaiyin!”

In reality, the Mercedes C-Class, which is ridiculed as industrial trash on Kuaiyin, is actually the pinnacle for an average family!

As an experienced worker, Zheng Shuqi knew better to distinguish between the internet and reality, so of course, he didn’t believe Yang Hao could afford a luxury car of the BBA category, even the entry-level models that cost two to three hundred thousand!

If he really did gift a car, it was more likely to be a more affordable model worth around seventy or eighty thousand.

Yet even so, this revelation astonished him, and he began to speculate about the relationship between the former brother-in-law and little aunt.

Just as Yang Hao was about to reveal the truth, his phone suddenly rang with a local unknown number.

He remembered the number; it was the last digits of the chauffeur Feng Lina had sent.

He picked up the call and was informed the car was almost at the restaurant’s entrance.

“The delivery driver will arrive shortly.”

“If you’re curious, let’s all go out and have a look!” Yang Hao suggested to everyone after hanging up.

“Curious? Of course, we’re curious!”

“Let’s go, let’s go see the car!!”

“I’ve only ever seen cars being gifted in idol dramas; I never thought I’d witness it in real life today!”

Xu Wenqian, Wang Yan, and the others were all buzzing with excitement, even more active than Li Manni, the lady of the hour!

So a group of people filed out of the private room, bustling with energy.

“Big Brother Qi, what car do you think he’s giving?”

Zhu Ze and Zheng Shuqi, trailing behind everyone else, thought Yang Hao was merely handling his affairs without any intention to show them up. Yet, in the same private room, the two men naturally felt overshadowed.

Zhu Ze, a recent graduate like Zheng Shuqi, was currently interning at a foreign company, far from being in the same league as Yang Hao, who had now completely overshadowed him.

Naturally, he was also curious about what car Yang Hao was gifting.

“Probably a practical car, like a Honda Fit, Toyota Corolla, or BYD Dolphin,” Zheng Shuqi shared his guess.

“I quite like the Dolphin,” Zhu Ze remarked, as the younger generation accepted domestic brands more readily than the older one.

Zheng Shuqi, a steadfast fan of Japanese cars, responded: “Then I’d prefer a Corolla.”

“If someone were gifting it to me, I wouldn’t be picky,” Zhu Ze said with a laugh, spreading his hands.

As they talked, they had already reached the lobby of the restaurant.

Then, Zheng Shuqi heard his girlfriend’s shriek from outside: “Wow, a Porsche!!!”

“Oh my God! It’s truly a Porsche!!”

“Ah, that carmine red is so stunning…”

Cao Yanyan, Liu Meiyu, and others trailed with exclamations.

A Porsche?

Is this for real???

Zheng Shuqi and Zhu Ze exchanged glances, then hurriedly quickened their pace.

When the two men got outside, they saw a crimson Porsche Cayenne being unloaded from a flatbed truck, a group of excited girls gathered around it, and even some pedestrians had stopped to watch.

Damn!

It’s really a Porsche!!

Zheng Shuqi swallowed hard, reassessing the man he had been silently disparaging in his mind, and gained a whole new appreciation for the elder.
