Ten thousand yuan was no small sum for an ordinary family.
After all, in an age when people spent their money as fast as they earned it, saving ten thousand yuan was difficult for many, let alone an ordinary family.
"Miss, everything here is made of pure gold, and this really is the current market price of gold. It isn't expensive at all!"
The saleswoman spoke up.
But Jiang Wan'er kept shaking her head. Ten thousand yuan could cover several months of her family's expenses. It was far, far too expensive.
"Let's go, Jiang Tian. This is too expensive."
Jiang Wan'er carefully handed the gold necklace back to the saleswoman and tugged Jiang Tian toward the exit.
"Why leave? You said it looked nice, so Mom will definitely like it. We'll take this one."
Jiang Tian smiled and stopped Jiang Wan'er, then took out a card. "Just charge it to this!"
The saleswoman immediately beamed. "Of course, sir!"
"Wait, you're really buying it? Do you have that much money?"
Jiang Wan'er asked, her eyes widening.
Her brother had only been back for two days and didn't even have a job. Where had he gotten the money?
Jiang Tian smiled faintly. "Wan'er, how could I come here without bringing any money? Don't worry, I definitely have enough! By the way, is there anything you like? Pick something for yourself too. I'll pay!"
"Sir, your payment has gone through. Here's your receipt and invoice. Your jewelry is being wrapped and will be brought over shortly."
The saleswoman handed him the invoice and receipt.
Seeing that her brother really had the money to buy it, Jiang Wan'er's mouth fell open. "You... really have money? Where did you get it?"
Jiang Tian smiled faintly. "Didn't I go out yesterday? I ran into a rich woman. She thought I was handsome, so she gave it to me!"
"What?"
Jiang Wan'er and Han Ying were dumbfounded.
Was that even possible?
"Um, tell me honestly. Have you been..."
"Been what?"
"Are you being kept by a rich woman?"
Jiang Wan'er asked cautiously.
Han Ying's eyes widened too as she waited for his answer, her heart bleeding. So even handsome men couldn't escape the fate of becoming some woman's kept pet?
Boo-hoo!
When I had money someday, I was going to keep a whole bunch of handsome guys too!
Seeing their strange looks, Jiang Tian's mouth twitched. He reached out and flicked Jiang Wan'er's smooth, fair forehead.
"You little brat, what are you thinking? What kind of man do you take your brother for?"
Jiang Tian sounded exasperated.
"Then... why did that rich woman give you money?"
Jiang Wan'er covered her forehead and complained.
Other than being handsome, her brother didn't have anything going for him right now!
"I treated an illness for someone in her family. She paid me to thank me!"
Jiang Tian rolled his eyes.
"Payment for treating an illness?"
Jiang Wan'er froze.
Then she suddenly remembered that her brother seemed to have healed their father's legs too. She had been utterly astonished when she learned about it.
Han Ying was taken aback too. So Jiang Tian could treat illnesses! I'd thought he really was being kept by a rich woman. What a scare. Hehe~
"Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Wan'er still sounded doubtful.
"What else would it be?"
Jiang Tian folded his arms and lifted his chin.
"Then how much did she give you?"
Seeing that her brother didn't seem to be joking, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help asking.
Looking at her eager expression, Jiang Tian couldn't help laughing. "You little money grubber. As for how much, it wasn't much. Just a few hundred."
"A few hundred? That wouldn't cover such an expensive necklace!"
Jiang Wan'er frowned.
"I meant a few hundred lots of ten thousand!"
Jiang Tian clarified.
"Oh, a few hundred lots of ten thousand. That makes more sense."
Jiang Wan'er nodded, but a second later she froze. Her pupils contracted as she stared at Jiang Tian in disbelief. "W-wait. How much did you just say? A few hundred... lots of ten thousand?"
"That's right. Six million. Oh, it's only five million nine hundred and ninety thousand now."
Jiang Tian waved the bank card in his hand.
"Hic~"
Hearing that her brother now had so much money, Jiang Wan'er couldn't process it for a moment and nearly passed out.
"Seriously, Wan'er? It's only a few million. Is this really necessary?"
Jiang Tian hurriedly caught her.
"Don't talk. Just give me a moment. Let me recover~"
Jiang Wan'er's head was spinning.
Her brother had earned six million less than two days after coming home?!
Two days!
Six million!
Many ordinary people probably couldn't earn that much in their entire lives!
Yet her brother had taken just two days to achieve something many people might never accomplish in a lifetime?
Han Ying also stared at Jiang Tian with her mouth slightly open, her eyes full of disbelief-and little hearts. She had thought that rich woman would have given him a few tens of thousands, or perhaps a hundred thousand or so at most. Who knew she had handed over six million in one go? Jiang Tian was incredible!
"All right, all right. It's only a few million. That's nothing to your brother."
Jiang Tian steadied his sister and spoke with an amused smile.
To him now, money really was no better than dirt.
If he were still the ordinary Jiang Tian, he might have been thrilled to receive several million.
But he wasn't. He was now a powerful cultivator at the nascent soul stage, someone who could destroy a city or a nation with a gesture. If he wished, he could use a few simple tricks and have countless people lining up to give him money.
So now he truly understood what it meant to regard wealth as dirt!
"You're amazing!"
Having recovered, Jiang Wan'er jumped up and threw her arms around Jiang Tian's neck.
Six million! Their parents wouldn't have to work so hard anymore!
Han Ying watched them with envy, wondering why she didn't have such a capable, handsome brother.
"Hey, hey! Are you trying to strangle your brother?"
Jiang Tian pretended he could barely breathe.
Only then did Jiang Wan'er realize she was squeezing his neck. Embarrassed, she let go. "I was too excited. I didn't mean to."
"All right. So now you believe your brother has money?"
Jiang Tian smiled and pinched her cheek.
"Yes!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded emphatically!
"Then go pick something you like. Don't worry. As long as I'm around, our family will have more money than we can spend!"
Jiang Tian waved a hand and spoke with a smile.
This time, Jiang Wan'er stopped holding back and rushed straight to the counter. Since my brother had six million, spending a little should be fine, right?
At that thought, she grew even happier and more confident.
Seeing more business coming her way, the saleswoman was overjoyed. As she introduced the jewelry to Jiang Wan'er, she kept stealing glances at Jiang Tian, wondering whether the handsome young man was seeing anyone.
While Jiang Wan'er happily chose her jewelry, Jiang Tian sat down alone on a sofa nearby and waited quietly.
To be honest, he thoroughly enjoyed his life as it was. At least, he liked it right now. As for the future, he would worry about that later.
"Hey, is your manager here?"
Just as he was watching the scene before him with a smile, a man wearing a fur coat and a gold chain suddenly walked in from outside, carrying a case and shouting at the top of his lungs.
His voice was so loud that it immediately drew everyone else's attention, and they all turned to look at the newcomer...
