Song Ping'an would never refuse such a simple request and readily agreed.

After getting up and having a quick breakfast, I took Song Lele out with me.

With Song Ping'an's current wealth, it would be easy for him to have a car in the parking lot near each region's teleportation portal.

The family of three first drove from their residence to the vicinity of the portal in the Fourth Region, and parked their car in a spacious parking lot.

Then enter Second Region through the portal.

I located my car in the parking lot based on the number, and then drove into the most upscale shopping mall in the Second Region.

I bought some expensive health supplements for my parents.

They also chose a billiard cue worth over 30,000 yuan for Cai Pingsheng Cai Yiyao's younger brother who lives with his parents at her parents' home.

Finally, I paid for the children's watch that Song Lele had her eye on.

The three left the mall and went to Cai Yiyao's parents' house in Fifth Region.

Park in the same parking lot, carry the gifts through the portal, and get into the car in the parking lot.

After a bumpy ride, we finally arrived at our destination.

It was almost noon.

Mr. and Mrs. Cai had been eagerly waiting at home for the three of them to arrive.

They were incredibly welcoming as soon as the door opened.

After all, Song Ping'an today is completely different from who he used to be.

After leaving the tower, Cai Yiyao was so shocked by the 680 million yuan that Song Ping'an brought home that she bit her tongue.

After finally calming down, she arranged to transfer ten million to each of their parents.

I dare not turn it too much, for fear that the elderly person's heart cannot take it.

Even so, both sets of parents called that very night to find out what was going on.

After a long talk throughout the night, we learned about Song Ping'an's work situation.

They were all weeping with joy.

Moreover, compared to the Song family's heartfelt relief, the Cai family seemed even more excited.

They knew before that Song Ping'an was incapable of making money, which forced his daughter to work as a bartender.

I've tried to persuade my daughter many times, but it's no use.

He could only sigh that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, feeling heartbroken but helpless about his daughter.

Now they suddenly realize that Song Ping'an has made a lot of money, and their daughter no longer needs to go out and work so hard.

The two elders were overjoyed and kept urging Cai Yiyao to come home for a visit and a chat.

Seeing that Song Ping'an was working hard, Cai Yiyao wanted him to rest for a couple of days, so she held back and didn't say anything until the third day.

The three of them entered the room.

I changed my shoes.

Put down the gifts you are holding.

Cai's parents pulled him to the sofa to chat.

Mr. Cai was busy making tea, and Mrs. Cai was busy cutting fruit.

When Cai Pingsheng saw his sister and brother-in-law appear, it was as if he had seen a savior. He rushed from his bedroom to the sofa in the living room with a long face and looked at Cai Yiyao pitifully.

Cai Yiyao found his appearance somewhat amusing.

Puzzled, I asked him what was wrong.

Cai Pingsheng glanced at his busy parents, pouted, and said softly, "Before, Mom and Dad were always worried about you and couldn't take care of me. Now that you and my brother-in-law are fine, it's my turn. They scold me all day long for being useless. I'm going crazy!"

Just then, Cai's mother came over with some cut fruit.

Hearing Cai Pingsheng's words, her expression immediately turned from sunny to stormy. She coldly retorted, "You still have the nerve to say that? Was I wrong to insult you? You're such a grown man, all you do is hang out in those billiard halls all day long. When have I ever seen you bring any money home to help support the family?"

Cai Pingsheng retorted, dissatisfied. "Who took the 20,000 yuan I brought home after winning the championship last year? Are they already stopping the accounting and saying I didn't earn any money?"

Seeing that he still dared to talk back, Cai's mother was furious, pointing at him and yelling, "Who did you say took it? I'll tell you who took it! It was all taken by your ex-girlfriend! And it wasn't just 20,000 yuan; our family even gave you an extra 10,000 yuan to chase after girls, you heartless ingrate! In the end, you spent the money and didn't even get a girl! Useless coward!"

The two were arguing.

Song Ping'an buried his head in eating fruit.

Cai Yiyao laughed heartily, not only failing to mediate the fight but also fanning the flames, helping this person one minute and that person the next.

Mr. Cai, who was brewing Kung Fu tea on a tea tray, suddenly spoke up.

He said to Cai Pingsheng and the others, "Let's not talk about these things today since it's a family gathering. Go check on how the soup is cooking, and then open a bottle of wine so Xiao Song and I can have a drink when it's served."

The meal was enjoyed very much.

He verbally berated Cai Pingsheng for being useless.

In fact, everyone knows that most of the money Cai Yiyao gave to her parents ended up in their son's pocket.

With ten million as a base, there's no need to worry about not having enough to eat for the rest of your life.

The noise and commotion were just for creating a lively atmosphere and having some fun.

After finishing the meal.

Cai Pingsheng, his eyes shining, held the billiard cue given to him by Song Ping'an and stroked it back and forth.

She kept chanting "Long live my brother-in-law!"

This younger brother is only one year younger than Cai Yiyao. He is one of the few people who did not abandon Song Ping'an when he was in trouble. He usually calls him brother-in-law affectionately and often takes him out to play billiards.

Song Ping'an then learned that the other party had this preference.

The two went out onto the balcony to enjoy the scenery and sober up.

Cai Pingsheng held onto the billiard cue tightly with his right hand, while struggling to pull a pack of cigarettes from his pocket with his left hand and handed it to Song Ping'an.

A pack of very ordinary cigarettes Point a dozen or so points.

Cai Pingsheng, oblivious to the fact that his brother-in-law, with his current wealth, might not even smoke such cheap cigarettes, didn't consider that.

Song Ping'an was an honest man, and no amount of money changed his lifestyle much.

I didn't go after any cigars that cost tens of thousands of yuan each.

They still drink ordinary water, eat ordinary food, and smoke ordinary cigarettes.

Seeing his brother-in-law offer him cigarettes, he quickly reached out and took one, popped it into his mouth, and, noticing that his brother-in-law's hand was not working properly, considerately lit one for him as well, before putting the whole pack into his pocket.

Cai Pingsheng's face turned pale.

She cried out with heartache, "Brother-in-law, please don't do this! It's not easy for me to buy a pack of cigarettes these days. Taking the whole pack away will kill me!"

"Smoking is bad for your health. You're still young, so smoke less." Song Ping'an exhaled a cloud of smoke, his eyes squinting with pleasure.

Cai Pingsheng, considering the brand-new billiard cue in his arms, didn't argue with him.

They then happily inhaled the smoke together.

A cigarette after a meal is indeed a rare and wonderful experience; the two leaned against the railing, enjoying the scenery.

I smoked half of it.

Song Ping'an exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing at a distant, faintly visible teleportation portal, and casually asked, "What are your plans for the future? Are you going to enter the World Tower?"

Cai Pingsheng shrugged. "I don't know, maybe, it depends on whether my parents pressure me."

Song Ping'an turned to look at him. "And what about you? What are your own thoughts?"

Cai Pingsheng was slightly taken aback.

He flicked the ash into the ashtray and thought for a while.

He said calmly, "I don't want to go into the tower. I want to do some small business and stay with my parents."

"That's great!" Song Ping'an encouraged, "If you have a plan, just go for it! Besides, this is a very good direction, much safer than going into the tower. The elderly definitely want their children by their side! Have you thought about what kind of business to start? How about opening a supermarket?"

Cai Pingsheng his head. "It's not a supermarket."

He touched the billiard cue, a smile spreading across his face, "I want to open a billiards hall, just a simple small business where lots of friends come to play every day."

Song Ping'an pondered, "This kind of thing... well, it probably won't make much money."

"I don't need to earn much." Cai Pingsheng turned his head and glanced at the elderly couple playing with Cai Yiyao and Song Lele inside the house, his expression gentle. "Enough to eat is enough. I'm happy as long as I can be with my parents."

Upon hearing this...

Song Ping'an nodded.

I didn't ask any more questions.

He silently finished the last puff of his cigarette.

Smother the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

He patted Cai Pingsheng on the shoulder and went inside.

After leaving his parents-in-law's house in the afternoon, Song Ping'an got into the car with his wife and children, but did not start the car immediately.

Instead, he took out his phone and started operating it.

Cai Yiyao curiously peeked out.

The man transferred a full 100 million yuan to his younger brother's account, adding the message: "Go ahead and do it. If you lose, I'll take the loss; if you win, we'll split the profits."
