Gifts for the Family
Ye Feng took the gifts he had prepared from beside the sofa and placed them on the table. His parents gathered around, and Ye Lin's eyes lit up at the sight of the three exquisite gift boxes.
"Brother, is this pink one mine? Hehe, pink's my favorite." With that, she snatched it up.
"Dad, Mom, these are your gifts."
His parents accepted their gifts and looked at Ye Feng with gratification. Their son had grown up and knew to give back to his parents.
Beside them, Ye Lin had already opened her gift box. She took out the exquisite watch and couldn't bear to put it down, snapping several photos to post on her Moments and show off how much her brother doted on her.
"Dad, Mom, open yours and have a look too. Look how pretty my watch is. Hehe."
Ye Feng's parents opened their boxes one after the other. His father took out the watch and put it on, unable to hide his delight.
His mother opened her box, revealing an emerald-green bracelet to the three of them.
His mother put it on her wrist and loved it, but she soon took it off. "Xiao Feng, this must have cost a lot, right? I'm old. I don't need to wear things like this. Return it and save the money to get yourself a wife. And you, Old Ye, hurry up and take yours off. You're a grown man, yet you're accepting things from your child."
His father reluctantly took off the watch as well and put it back in the box.
Just as Ye Feng was agonizing over how to persuade his parents, Ye Lin cried out.
"Brother! My classmate says the watch you gave me is a Patek Philippe! It's worth 2.8 million Huaxia Currency!" Ye Lin stared at Ye Feng in surprise.
"Not just yours. Dad's is one too, and it costs even more."
His mother looked at Ye Feng nervously. "Xiao Feng, we can't do anything illegal!"
"Don't worry, all of you. The money was definitely obtained legally. Little Sis, tell Mom about Bitcoin."
When his parents learned that a single bitcoin had been worth nearly two million Huaxia Currency at its peak, they both found it unbelievable.
At that moment, Ye Lin leaned over and asked with a mysterious air, "Brother, how much was Mom's bracelet?"
"One small goal." With that, Ye Feng ushered the family out to eat.
Ye Lin looked at her mother with stars in her eyes. She was a walking small goal.
Downstairs, Ye Feng called out to his parents as they were heading out.
"Dad, Mom, I bought Dad a car this afternoon. Let's drive there."
"Brother, which car is it?"
Ye Feng pointed with his lips.
Following the direction of Ye Feng's gaze, Ye Lin immediately ran over. "Brother, it's a Beetle!"
Seeing his sister sprawled over the Beetle, running her hands all over it, Ye Feng was left with black lines all over his face. He strode over, grabbed her ear, and pressed the car key. A white Bentley Bentayga beside them lit up.
Ye Lin looked at him aggrievedly. "Brother, that hurts! Huh, it's a Bentley! Brother, get me one too!"
"Sure. Once you get your driver's license, I'll give you one."
"You girl, how old are you to be asking for a car already? Xiao Feng, you spoil Linlin too much," his mother scolded.
As mother and daughter bickered, Ye Feng's father drove them to Jinhui Restaurant.
Jinhui Restaurant was one of Jin City's top Chinese restaurants. It specialized in a variety of cuisines, and its dishes, whether Chinese or Western, were all exceptional. Its décor was lavish beyond compare.
They reached the front desk.
"Miss, please get us a private room."
"Sir, there's a minimum spend for private rooms. If there aren't many of you, I'd recommend sitting in the main dining hall," the receptionist said politely.
"We'll take a private room. I'd like somewhere quiet."
The four entered the private room. Ye Feng couldn't be bothered to order individual dishes, so he ordered a set meal for 188,888 yuan.
Jinhui Restaurant lived up to its reputation as a top-class establishment. Before long, the dishes began arriving one after another. At the sight of the dazzling array of food, Ye Lin practically drooled. His mother gave Ye Feng a reproachful look, blaming him for spending money recklessly, while his father sat there cheerfully.
At the table, Ye Feng kept putting food on his parents' plates. "Dad, Mom, eat up. The food here really is good. Try this wagyu. Mom, have your bird's nest soup too. If you like it, I'll order you some more."
Beside him, Ye Lin viciously stabbed the roast suckling pig with a lobster claw, giving Ye Feng a resentful look, as though asking why he wasn't putting food on her plate.
"Dad, Mom, I'm planning for the whole family to go look at a house tomorrow. I've already made arrangements. It's at East Lake Resort. I bought the car so it would be easier for you to get around once you live there."
"All right, let's go take a look tomorrow. It's time we picked out a marital home for you anyway. Otherwise, with the way you spend money so freely, you'll run out sooner or later," his mother said in wholehearted agreement.
"Brother, you have great taste! My classmate lives over there, and it really is nice. There's a resort, an amusement park, and a hot spring hotel. Hehe, there's lots of fun stuff! And it's only half an hour from downtown, so it's really convenient. My classmate also said the subway has already been planned to reach there, and construction starts next year."
"You know quite a bit about it. Mom, I'll transfer you some money. You're always reluctant to spend any. Your son has money now, so go ahead and spend it. When you run out, I'll transfer you more." With that, Ye Feng transferred his mother 20 million Huaxia Currency. It wasn't that he didn't want to give her more; he was just afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it if he transferred too much.
His father, sitting nearby, desperately gave him meaningful looks. Ye Feng gave him a reassuring glance, then transferred him two million yuan as well.
Seeing Ye Lin looking at him expectantly, Ye Feng couldn't bear it and transferred her 500,000 yuan too. It wasn't good for a young girl to have too much money on her.
After the meal, his mother wanted to pack up the leftovers, but Ye Feng stopped her. He was worth hundreds of billions now; how could he let his mother eat leftovers?
Back home, his parents went to bed early, while the siblings sat on the sofa and chatted.
"Brother, today feels so unreal. I'm a little scared. I'm afraid I'll wake up and find it was all a dream, and you'll still be in Demon City. I'm also afraid it's real, and that you'll get busier and busier and stop doting on me."
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? How could I stop doting on you? We're close family, bound by blood. If anything happens, you have to tell me. I can help you overcome any difficulty now."
"Hehe, thank you, Brother. Get some rest. I'm going back to my room."
Ye Feng smiled helplessly. The little girl had more and more on her mind. He lay down on the sofa, chatted with Li Xiaona for a while, and then fell asleep. He really was a little tired today.
Early the next morning, Ye Lin woke Ye Feng with her noise. He checked the time. It was only a little past seven. He said to her helplessly, "Little Sis, it's only seven. Keep it down. I want to sleep a little longer."
"Oh, Brother, we're going to buy a big house soon. I'm just excited! Don't go back to sleep. Look, isn't this dress I'm wearing pretty? Hehe."
Without even lifting his head, Ye Feng replied that it was pretty. Just then, his mother came out and pulled the still-chattering Ye Lin away.
"Your brother went out yesterday straight after getting off the plane without even resting. Hurry back to your room and let him sleep a little longer."
Ye Lin stuck out her tongue and slunk back to her room.
