By extracting their desires for blind dates, I became the richest man.

Luo Jinglan never expected that her son would buy her a gold bracelet.

Following her neighbor's urging, she subconsciously opened the red Chow Tai Fook box.

Inside the box, a heavy, unassuming gold bracelet lay quietly on a black velvet cloth, radiating a deep, warm light.

Its texture and weight alone are enough to tell you its expensive price.

Gold prices are not cheap these days.

Luo Jinglan hadn't bought a piece of gold jewelry in years. She had almost forgotten what it felt like to wear gold for the last time.

Unexpectedly, the first thing her son did after earning money was to buy her such an expensive gold bracelet.

The aunties next to them were so envious their eyes were practically popping out of their heads.

"Oh my, Jinglan, you're so lucky!"

"This bracelet must cost tens of thousands, right? Qiu Zi is truly filial to her mother!"

"I'd be so grateful if my brat could ever be half as sensible as Akiko!"

Hearing their envious and slightly sour words, Luo Jinglan felt sweeter than if she had eaten honey.

An overwhelming sense of happiness enveloped her.

But at the same time, I also feel a little sorry for them.

With gold prices so high now, how much money must my son have spent on this bracelet?

"You silly child, you bought such an expensive bracelet without even telling me..."

She grumbled under her breath as she carefully took the bracelet out of the box, but dared not put it on.

"With gold prices so high right now, why waste money like this..."

Although her tone was one of complaint, at that moment, anyone could hear the overflowing pride and happiness in her voice.

The elderly father, Chen Zhide, looked at his son with longing.

He pointed to the square phone box with the Huawei logo printed on it.

"That...that phone..."

"Dad, this is for you."

Chen Qiu said with a smile.

Chen Zhide's face instantly broke into a wide smile, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes all bunched up together.

He knows it!

He knew his son well; how could he possibly forget him!

This is Huawei's latest tri-fold phone!

He had personally witnessed the factory manager owning one of these furniture machines when he delivered goods to the factory manager.

I would hold it in my hand whenever I had free time, opening it with a click and closing it with another click.

That move was incredibly cool!

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhide also has access to a boss-level mobile phone!

Chen Zhide was excitedly preparing to open the phone packaging right there and then.

Suddenly, Luo Jinglan slapped the back of his hand hard.

"Why are you taking these valuable things apart outside? What if they get broken? Take them inside first!"

Chen Zhide felt somewhat annoyed after being glared at by his wife in public.

What?

Didn't you just open the box of the gold bracelet in front of everyone?

Of course, he only dared to think these words in his heart and would never dare to say them out loud.

Watching Chen Qiu's family carry their belongings into the house, carrying large and small bags.

The neighbors who had been watching also wisely refrained from following.

But their faces were filled with an intense sense of gossip and inquiry.

After returning to their respective homes, they immediately adopted a mysterious expression upon seeing other women.

"Hey, have you heard? Chen Zhide's son, Chen Qiu..."

The intelligence department at the entrance of Nankeng Village is spreading this news to every corner of the village at an alarming speed.

……

back home.

Chen Zhide sat on the wooden sofa with great excitement, playing with the brand-new folding screen phone.

Open, close, open again, close again, endlessly enjoying it.

Luo Jinglan put the gold bracelet on her wrist and took it off repeatedly, looking at it again and again.

Finally, she carefully put the bracelet back into the box, and then said to Chen Qiu with a serious expression.

"Son, I'd better not wear this gold bracelet."

"I'll keep it safe for you, and when you get married, I'll use it to make a set of three gold pieces for your wife..."

Chen Qiu immediately smiled helplessly.

"Mom, I bought this for you, so please wear it!"

Chen Zhide, who was carefully opening and closing the folding screen, glanced at his wife.

"You're just worrying unnecessarily."

His voice carried an unprecedented confidence.

"It's the first time your son has bought you a gold bracelet, and you're already refusing it."

"What? He can afford such a heavy bracelet for you, and you're worried he won't be able to afford a set of gold jewelry for his wife in the future?"

Just now, outside, Luo Jinglan told him everything that happened in Haitang Bay today.

When he learned that someone had given his son a house worth over a million yuan for free, he was beaming with joy!

In his excitement, he had already made up his mind.

I just got this Moutai and originally planned to save it for entertaining my most distinguished guests, but I have to open it tonight no matter what!

I must have a good drink with my son!

Upon hearing this, Luo Jinglan immediately glared at him in annoyance.

"My son is capable, of course he can afford it!"

Then, she glanced at her husband in a sarcastic tone and said...

"Unlike some people, who only bought me a small pair of gold rings when we got married. Now, decades later, they haven't bought me any other gold jewelry..."

Chen Zhide naturally knew that "certain people" referred to himself.

But the skill that middle-aged men excel at most is being a good coward when their wives bring up old grievances.

He immediately looked at his son and abruptly changed the subject.

"By the way, I also heard from matchmaker Sister Wang on the phone that your blind date at noon seems to have run into some problems?"

"Hmm, it's nothing serious."

Chen Qiu shook his head and briefly recounted what had happened at the restaurant at noon.

After learning the whole story, Luo Jinglan immediately spoke up indignantly.

"I knew it! It's just that girl's own inconsiderate behavior!"

"She hasn't even arrived yet, and she's already ordered such expensive dishes with her best friend. It's obvious she has ulterior motives and shows absolutely no respect!"

"That Sister Wang, how dare she call and speak ill of my Chen Qiu?"

Chen Zhide guessed.

"I suspect that the girl exaggerated and badmouthed the girl to Sister Wang."

"Jinglan, remember to call Sister Wang later and explain the reason clearly. Otherwise, if Chen Qiu's reputation is ruined, it will be difficult to find a spouse in the future."

Luo Jinglan nodded heavily.

In the matchmaking market of their small town, the man's reputation is extremely important!

"Mom, Dad, I'm going for a walk outside."

"Want a ride?"

"Just take a walk around the area!"

"Go on, go on, remember to come back around lunchtime."

Luo Jinglan waved her hand, then contentedly and carefully put away each of the valuable gifts her son had brought back.

"Hey, stop playing with your phone!"

Seeing that Chen Zhide was still there, engrossed in playing with his phone, Luo Jinglan immediately went up to him and urged him to hurry up.

"Go quickly! Go kill that chicken in the yard! I'll make chicken soup for you tonight..."

Just then.

The external screen of the folding phone in Chen Zhide's hand suddenly lit up.

A crisp telephone ring sounded.

Caller ID: Big Brother.

It's Chen Zhifeng.

Upon seeing this, Luo Jinglan narrowed her eyes.

Thinking about what happened in Haitang Bay community this afternoon, she felt that Chen Zhifeng calling at this time was definitely not a good thing.

"Turn on speakerphone!"

Chen Zhide glanced at his wife, understood immediately, and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Hey, bro."

"Hey, Zhide, have you eaten yet?"

On the other end of the phone came Chen Zhifeng's usual enthusiastic voice.

The two exchanged some meaningless pleasantries at first.

Then, Chen Zhifeng changed the subject and turned to his child's blind date problem.

"Oh dear, it's so hard for kids to go on blind dates these days."

"Look, Yujie is already thirty this year, almost thirty-one. If you count by the traditional Chinese age system, he'll be thirty-two!"

"He's getting old, and it's only now that he's finally found someone decent."

"Besides all the worries, we also have to busy ourselves with buying a house and preparing the bride price."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We've already consulted a fortune teller, who said that if he misses this year's opportunity, he'll have to wait another three years to find love again!"

Chen Zhifeng sighed on the other end of the phone, and after listening to his explanation, Chen Zhide was somewhat confused.

Why tell him all this?

Luo Jinglan suddenly realized what was going on.

She gave a soft hum.

This is just an attempt to elicit sympathy.

Is she afraid that her son Chen Qiu will steal her son Chen Yujie's blind date?

Luo Jinglan thought about it carefully. This afternoon, the girl named Lin Shishan was indeed a little too attentive to her son and even to herself.

However, she didn't treat Huang Hui and her son with such kindness.

Thinking about this, Luo Jing not only felt relieved, but even wanted to laugh a little.

Where's that smugness you had when your family found a partner a while ago?

Now you're starting to be wary of my son?

She winked at her husband, Chen Zhide.

The latter understood immediately and responded slowly into the phone.

"Yes, brother. The kids are all grown up now and have their own ideas."

"They want to get married and live their own lives. As elders, we can't interfere too much, except by offering our support."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Then, Chen Zhifeng's voice came through.

"By the way, Zhide. There's a girl on Huang Hui's family's side. I heard from her that she seems quite suitable for Chen Qiu."

She is two years younger than Chen Qiu, quite good-looking, smart, works in a bank, and has very good conditions.

"How about we ask her to find some time to arrange a meeting between her and Chen Qiu?"
