Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

This proposal greatly appealed to He Yushui.

The older brother pays the bill, and Zhao Dege gives a gift—isn't that a double joy?

"It's decided then and there! We need to hurry, everyone's watching us!"

Zhao De leaned close to He Yushui's ear again and whispered something.

"it is good!"

He Yushui was very excited, and her mood immediately improved.

When He Yushui looked up at the winter clothes again, she was very serious; this time she was choosing for herself.

“Rain, you’re so tall, I think you should wear a coat, not a floral cotton-padded jacket.”

Zhao De offered his suggestions.

He Yushui nodded in agreement.

"Sister Qianqian, you're right, but doesn't it seem a bit too mature?"

"Indeed, after all, you're still in school..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao De said.

"Then let's keep the cotton-padded jacket."

After the style of the cotton-padded jacket was chosen, Zhao De taught He Yushui how to explain it to Sha Zhu.

So He Yushui found a moment to tell Sha Ge:

"Brother, Sister Qianqian likes that cotton-padded jacket with cloud pattern."

"She said she would definitely buy one when she has money in the future; the one she's wearing now has been worn for several years."

"really?"

Sha Zhu was overjoyed, but then hesitated.

"Won't it look too cheap?"

This cotton-padded jacket only costs a little over thirty yuan.

It won't be more than forty or so, less than fifty yuan.

Compared to the two hundred silver dollars that Liu Guangqi had spent before, Sha Zhu felt that this was really not competitive.

He Yushui began to relay the words Zhao De had taught her:

"Silly brother, birthday gifts aren't about who spends more money."

"If that's the case, everyone can just pay to compare."

"The key is to see who can truly touch Sister Qianqian's heart."

"Besides, she's going to wear this cotton-padded coat until next spring!"

"Think about it, every time Sister Qianqian sees this cotton-padded coat, it's like seeing you, and she remembers that it was a birthday present from you!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately made up his mind.

"Stop talking, I'll buy it!"

Chapter Fifty-Four: Spending a fortune to win a beauty's smile!

After Zhao De left the clothing store.

Xu, Liu, and Yan noticed that Sha Zhu had secretly stayed behind, possibly to buy clothes.

Sha Zhu is incredibly stupid!

Will a winter coat that costs less than fifty yuan be presentable as a gift? What competitive advantage will it have?

All three of them thought the same thing. Liu Guangqi, holding the valuable jade pendant box, touched it and thought to himself that he was sure to win this time.

However, he did not give it away on the spot because he knew that Qianqian might ask him to return it.

Liu Guangqi had planned it out; he would give the gift to Qianqian in the evening when he returned to the courtyard.

At that point, even if Qianqian wanted to back out, it would be too late. She naturally couldn't refuse, and if she was moved, she might even give her a hug and a kiss...

"Brother, what are you thinking about? They've all gone to the department store, let's hurry and follow them!"

Liu Guangtian gently patted his older brother's arm, drawing his attention back to reality.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he asked, "Brother, how much money did you bring out this time?"

Liu Guangqi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I only brought five hundred yuan, which should be enough. I also have a radio ticket, but I don't think I'll need it."

Liu Guangtian nodded and began to plan in his mind. After catching up with Zhao De and the others, Liu Guangtian quickly pulled Liu Guangfu aside.

He quickly recounted how his older brother had stolen the money.

Liu Guangfu was very surprised after hearing this, but he quickly understood his second brother's little scheme. However, the two brothers were clearly on the same side.

"Second brother, do you want eldest brother to use the remaining three hundred yuan and that radio ticket as well?"

“That’s right, let’s subtly probe when we get home tonight.”

“If Dad goes to search for the hidden money, the eldest son will definitely get a beating.”

"You know, Dad has been eyeing that radio for a long time."

Liu Guangfu seemed a little excited after hearing this; he and his second brother were practically brothers in misfortune.

Almost every time I got a beating from my dad, we were together, not to mention the eldest brother would be watching the fun from the sidelines!

Now that they have the opportunity, they naturally want to take revenge. As for the boss's money, they don't care at all.

Anyway, the money saved won't end up in the hands of the two brothers; it will all go to the eldest brother.

After the two finished discussing, they unknowingly arrived at the second floor of the Beijing Department Store.

Looking around, they found Zhao De leading a group of people to a candy counter.

"Grandpa, I want to buy two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy."

Zhao De had put in a lot of effort; once inside the Beijing Department Store, the main event was about to begin.

To encourage everyone to make the decision to spend money more readily, Zhao De decided to buy some candy as a birthday gift first, and then share it with everyone.

Zhao De was convinced that this way, when everyone bought valuable items together in the future, they would definitely not hesitate or waver.

The old man was very skilled; he grabbed a pound at a time, did it twice, and then put it directly into a bag.

"Sir, here you go, this is five yuan and two sugar coupons."

The sugar coupons were taken from the system space and put into his pocket; Zhao De took them out and paid directly.

He Yushui was puzzled: "Sister Qianqian, didn't you say you were going to buy a birthday present?"

This question echoed everyone's thoughts, and everyone looked at Zhao De. Zhao De took a bag of White Rabbit milk candy and smiled sweetly.

"This is my birthday present!"

As he spoke, he reached into the bag with his right hand and gestured for the bewildered He Yushui to open her palm.

"Here, this is for you!"

Then came the equally bewildered Sha Zhu, followed by the dumbfounded Xu Damao, then the clueless Liu Guangqi, then Yan Jiecheng, and finally the last few juniors.

Everyone received a few White Rabbit milk candies, which were roughly divided equally among the two pounds of candy.

Of course, Zhao De kept a few for himself as a symbolic gesture. Then, with a big smile, Zhao De said, "Actually, knowing you all is the best birthday gift I've ever received."

"I will always cherish this in my heart, and use these few candies as a testament to my love."

"So please, everyone, don't be shy, just accept them!"

At this moment, everyone looked at the White Rabbit milk candy in their hands, and then at Zhao Qianqian with her bright and warm smile.

If the terms "goddess" and "white moonlight" existed at this moment, then Zhao De would undoubtedly be the goddess and white moonlight in their hearts, he was simply too perfect!

How could there be such a beautiful woman, so gorgeous?

Even Xu Damao felt that if he had only liked her because of her beauty before, he had now truly fallen in love with Zhao Qianqian.

Even He Yushui's eyes welled up with tears; she felt that Sister Qianqian was truly a wonderful person.

How could there be such an outstanding and kind girl? She couldn't help but feel that her silly brother was not good enough for Sister Qianqian.

Sha Zhu also began to regret it; he shouldn't have bought that cotton-padded coat.

We should buy that prized mink coat that's the store's centerpiece.

Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian hesitated, feeling conflicted, mainly because this Sister Qianqian was just too outstanding!

If we really let my older brother spend a lot of money to give an expensive gift, and it actually touches Sister Qianqian's heart, wouldn't that be doing someone else a favor?

Is it possible for such an outstanding girl to marry their eldest brother?

Is it possible? Obviously not!

Xu Damao changed his mind and decided not to bother with these people over trivial matters anymore.

He believes that Qianqian is worth it, and he plans to make a big move, preferably one that can shock the entire audience or even completely solve the problem!
