"You're all only looking at the house! I saw the car too! The cash! The seafood feast! Oh my god, what kind of lobster is that? I've never seen a lobster that big in my entire life! And that crab! It's practically a giant crab!"
"Old Su, your stocks actually hit the limit-up!"
"Old Su, don't tell me you earned the money for your house and car from stocks?!"
"You're all only looking at the house, the car, and the cash. So vulgar. What did I see? I saw three sets of bowls!"
"Oh my god, Old Su, the rumors that two campus belles were pursuing you are true! And damn, you really know how to enjoy the company of beautiful women. Two campus belles having dinner with you at the same time—what a sweet life! You've got it way too good!"
"Old Su, you're damn amazing! Without saying a word, you went and bought a house and a car! That move of yours has me so worked up, I want to go find a rich woman to keep me right now."
Right after that, Su Chen's phone started ringing too.
It was a call from his good friend, Chen Peng.
Chen Peng knew that Su Chen had made money from stocks, and he also knew that Su Chen had five daughters.
He also knew that Su Chen's second daughter had called him "Dad" that evening, because Su Chen had sent him a message.
Actually, he'd wanted to call Su Chen as soon as he got the message. But he figured Su Chen must be reuniting with his daughters at the time, and calling would definitely disrupt the warm atmosphere of their reunion, so he held back.
Now that he'd seen Su Chen's Moments post,
he was utterly stunned.
He hadn't expected Su Chen to have bought a house worth more than 25 million yuan too!
Oh my god!
That was simply beyond amazing!
He immediately couldn't help calling Su Chen.
"Old Su, you've really done it! You kept quiet for so long, then dropped a bombshell this huge. I bet a lot of people won't be able to sleep tonight," Chen Peng said with a hearty laugh.
A lot of people didn't want anyone they knew to have a better life than them.
When they saw someone doing worse than they were, it gave them a warm, fuzzy feeling.
But if they suddenly saw that person doing better than them—far, far better—they'd be completely thrown off and wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
Especially relatives, "friends," and coworkers.
A true friend like Chen Peng wouldn't feel uncomfortable just because Su Chen had suddenly become so impressive. He'd only feel proud to know him.
He was genuinely happy for Su Chen.
Su Chen laughed. "I've been keeping it under wraps for days. Are you free tomorrow?"
"Of course I am! Are you treating us?" Chen Peng asked with a laugh.
"You guessed it. I've bought a house and a car, and I've already reunited with two of my five daughters. I'm planning to bring them along to meet you uncles, so remember to get your gift money ready," Su Chen said with a smile.
He'd been really happy these past few days.
And he definitely wanted to share that happiness with his good buddies.
He could show off his two precious daughters while he was at it.
Old Hu and Old Fang had shown off their precious sons and daughters plenty of times before.
Now it was his turn~~
Haha~~
"Sure, no problem. I'll have the gift money ready. Have you decided what time and where we're eating?" Chen Peng asked.
"The two girls have classes tomorrow, so let's meet at seven in the evening at the Diaoyutai Hotel restaurant at No. 2 Bicheng Road. I've heard their Imperial Feast is excellent. I'll take the girls to try it."
Chen Peng was shocked. "You're going to the Diaoyutai Hotel restaurant?! That place is so expensive!"
"It's the grand hotel our Dragon Kingdom uses to host leaders and world-famous figures!"
"It's one of the four top restaurants in the entire Imperial Capital!"
"It's 5,000 yuan per person!"
"Old Su, you've just bought a house and a car, and you still have to raise your daughters. Isn't that too extravagant? Let's just pick somewhere cheaper."
Su Chen laughed. "It's fine. We'll go there."
Now that he had the system, making money was as easy as drinking water.
If he was treating everyone to dinner, of course he'd go to those top restaurants he'd once only dared to glance at while hurrying past, never daring to step inside!
Seeing that Su Chen had made up his mind, Chen Peng knew he had the money to back it up, so he didn't try to talk him out of it. He laughed and said, "Old Su, I've never eaten at a top restaurant like Diaoyutai before. This time, I get to tag along and enjoy a free meal~~"
"I'm so excited!"
Meanwhile, Su Chen was calling his friends one by one to chat and let them know he was treating them to dinner the next day.
Over on the other side, Su Zihan and Su Yinuo were posting on Moments too.
They posted different things, but both did the same thing: they blocked their mother, Lin Wanxue, from seeing their posts.
Su Zihan posted a panoramic photo of the seafood feast, along with a picture of their new home.
Her caption read: "Moved into a new home. So happy~"
Su Yinuo posted a close-up of a giant lobster, along with a picture of herself standing in her room, making a peace sign in front of the mirror to cover her face, looking cool and aloof.
Her caption was just one word: "Him."
Very much her style.
As soon as the two of them posted, their friends immediately liked the pictures.
"Is that a lobster? How is it completely different from the little lobsters in my Minecraft? It's so huge!!!"
"Is this house a villa? It has two floors! Rich!!"
"Zihan, your boyfriend's family is so rich! They bought such a big house in the Imperial Capital, and the decor is so nice!"
"Nuonuo, your room is so big! Your dad's family is way too rich!"
"Waaah, we're still stuck in tiny, shabby dorm rooms with hard beds, while you're living in a huge suite and sleeping on a Simmons mattress! I'm so jealous! I'm so envious! I hate it!"
Their classmates and friends all replied, but the two sisters noticed that their three younger sisters hadn't responded to their Moments or liked their posts.
They hadn't chatted in the Beauty Group either.
The Beauty Group was very quiet now.
Suddenly, Su Yinuo's phone rang.
She glanced at the screen. It was a call from her fifth sister, Su Youyu.
She answered.
Su Youyu spoke softly over the phone. "Second Sis, um..."
"Yeah?"
"Mom called me and said she... she's coming to the Imperial Capital." Su Youyu stumbled over her words.
"Mom called you?" Su Youyu asked cautiously.
Su Yinuo stood up. "No..."
"I asked Third Sis and Fourth Sis. Mom called them too and told them about it," Su Youyu said.
"When did this happen?" Su Yinuo asked.
"About an hour ago."
"Okay, got it."
"Second Sis, do you... do you and Big Sis live at Dad's house now?"
After eating the food Dad had cooked, she really wanted to go see his house too.
Especially after seeing the pictures of the seafood feast her two sisters had posted. Her mouth had practically watered.
But Mom was coming to the Imperial Capital!!!
She didn't dare go see Dad~
"Yeah. It's fine, I'll hang up now," Su Yinuo said.
"Okay."
Su Yinuo hung up.
By then, Su Zihan had put down her phone and sat beside Su Yinuo, gazing at her with worried eyes.
She'd heard Su Youyu and Su Yinuo talking on the phone.
An hour ago, Mom had called Third Sis, Fourth Sis, and Fifth Sis to tell them she was coming to the Imperial Capital.
But she hadn't called her or Second Sis to tell them.
Could Mom have found out that she and Second Sis were already living with Dad?!
Was Mom coming to the Imperial Capital to stop them from living with Dad and seeing him?!!!
Worried!
Nervous!
Uneasy!
