Wealth is not exposed, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night

Knowing that Chen Dong and she were going home for dinner, Luo Qiyuan went to the market early in the morning and bought a lot of vegetables to store in her shop.

Chen Dong helped put them in the car, Luo Qiyuan closed the shop door, and the three of them drove home.

Sitting in the luxurious Rolls-Royce, Luo Qiyuan felt extremely unreal. Three months ago, she was still racking her brains over a job and worrying about her child's college tuition.

Three months later, she had her own business, with an average daily turnover of a few thousand yuan. Yesterday, she took a custom clothing order from a film crew, and three outfits earned her twenty thousand yuan, which was unimaginable before.

But these were nothing compared to the surprises her son-in-law brought her; it was like the difference between clouds and mud.

"Dongzi, what have you been busy with lately? You seem to have lost weight. Xuehan is busy with school, but you can always come over and visit. Auntie will cook you delicious food. Just treat this place as your own home."

Luo Qiyuan felt a bit guilty when she said this, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face.

Upon returning home, Luo Qiyuan started cooking, while Xia Xuehan pulled Chen Dong into her room and immediately lay down on her soft, large bed.

"My own bed is still the most comfortable. The one in the dorm is a bit too small," Xia Xuehan lay spread-eagled, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Are you getting used to college life? The military training must have been tough these past few days."

Chen Dong sat beside Xia Xuehan, gently caressing her cheek.

"Auntie said I lost weight, but I think you're the one who lost weight."

"Hmph, now my mom values you more than she does me, her own daughter. She's so worried you might be wronged or not live well, she doesn't have time to care about me anymore."

"Oh, my Xuehan is getting jealous now."

"No, I'm not. I think it's great. I'm happy that my mom likes you; I couldn't be happier."

Xia Xuehan climbed off the bed and snuggled into Chen Dong's arms, like a docile kitten.

"I'm just afraid you're too outstanding, and one day you'll be snatched away by another woman."

Chen Dong was speechless. He couldn't possibly tell this girl that he already had someone else outside.

He could only hold her tightly.

"Silly girl, don't worry, I'll be good to you for a lifetime."

....

After dinner, Luo Qiyuan shooed Chen Dong and her daughter out of the kitchen, cleaned the dishes herself, and tidied up.

"Dongzi, Xuehan, you two rest at home. It's a bit hot outside. I'm going to the shop."

Although she also wanted to stay with Chen Dong, she was worried. Every time she saw her daughter's boyfriend, her mind would involuntarily recall the scene of them embracing and sleeping together that day, and her heart would pound like a little rabbit.

"Tsk, Luo Qiyuan, what kind of messy things are you thinking about all day long?"

Back at the shop, just as Luo Qiyuan turned on the air conditioner, several of her close middle-aged female friends rushed over in a hurry.

"Qiyuan, I heard your son-in-law drives a Rolls-Royce?"

"How much does that car cost exactly? I saw it at noon today, it was so imposing, you could tell it was high-end."

They spoke one after another, but without exception, they were all full of envy, wishing they could take Luo Qiyuan's place.

But they all knew that Luo Qiyuan was not only beautiful herself and had a good figure, but her daughter was even more stunning. Looking at themselves and the eligible women among their own descendants, compared to Xia Xuehan and her mother, they were not in the same league at all.

If they were rich, they would also choose Xia Xuehan.

Luo Qiyuan, who had been feeling inferior for more than ten years, had been increasingly respected since moving here.

Especially since her son-in-law gave her so much face; just by showing up casually and revealing a little bit of his strength, he made all her friends envious of her.

As the saying goes: wealth should not be exposed, it's like wearing brocade at night!

Luo Qiyuan was not a vain person, nor was she someone who liked to show off. But as long as one is a normal person, they cannot escape the common custom: she still greatly enjoyed the feeling of being admired.

With a faint smile on her face, she said:

"This is a matter for young people; I, an old woman, can't manage them."

But in her heart, it was as if she had eaten honey, and she was just short of grabbing a megaphone to announce to the world: My daughter found an amazing son-in-law!

"Qiyuan, quickly tell us, how much is your son-in-law's car worth?"

Without knowing the answer, this group of people felt as if a swarm of ants was constantly crawling in their hearts, truly unpleasant.

"My son-in-law said it was exactly ten million. He said that car seems to be called a Rolls-Royce Phantom or something like that; I'm not entirely sure if that's the exact name."

Hiss—Upon hearing this information, the five or six middle-aged women all gasped, thinking, "A powerful tycoon, terrifying indeed!"

"Qiyuan, you're going to enjoy a good life now. Your daughter really did you proud by finding such a good son-in-law...."

Amidst a chorus of compliments, Luo Qiyuan's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she couldn't stop smiling all afternoon.

....

The weather in the afternoon was still hot. Except for the cooler mornings and evenings, the rest of the time was not much different from summer.

Chen Dong gently hugged Xia Xuehan, and they stayed in bed until 4:30 PM before getting up and dressed.

Chen Dong drove the Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Xia Xuehan in the passenger seat.

Ever since learning that Secretary Gu Jianchuan had already taken the initiative to act on behalf of the Shen Family, Chen Dong was no longer as worried about his own safety.

It seemed that Shen Wanhua wanted to defeat him through business warfare. Times had changed, and he no longer wanted to resort to constant fighting and killing as before, as the underworld now primarily focused on human relations.

Of course, more importantly, in today's society, if you do something, you will inevitably leave traces, and once discovered, if pushed into the spotlight of public opinion, no one can save you!

Therefore, Chen Dong reduced his personal security service by one level, and the Thunder Brothers no longer needed to follow him constantly.

Just after five o'clock, Jiang Ziyi, Li Yingying, and Zhang Ruolan, three beautiful women, stood outside the Dong Sheng Takeout station at the school gate, looking curious.

Many students were queuing there, registering, and then receiving a set of yellow vests with a red dragon-shaped logo printed on them.

When the three beautiful women stood there, they immediately attracted many people's attention. Although Zhang Ruolan was a bit less striking than the other two, she was still well over 70 points, definitely a beauty in the eyes of ordinary people.

Especially Jiang Ziyi, whose outfit today clearly had a bit of a subtle design—

A purple short-sleeved top, revealing a sliver of her slender waist, paired with denim hot pants, carrying a small delicate bag, with her waterfall-like dark hair cascading over her shoulders, making her appear tall and stunning.

Especially her long, well-proportioned legs, which made passing students turn their heads.

"Xuehan said Brother Dongzi is coming to pick us up by car. He can't possibly drive a sports car, right?"

"Definitely not. A sports car can only seat two. He should be driving his Mercedes-Benz G-Class."

Just as they were talking, a sleek, incredibly luxurious black sedan slowly drove towards the three of them and then stopped beside them.
