The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm and tranquil glow on the silk comforter.

Xu Qinghe changed into a simple and elegant long dress and went downstairs with Qin Mao to have breakfast.

The extravagance of the Qin family's breakfast completely shattered Xu Qinghe's understanding of the world.

An extra-long jade dining table is filled with a whole table of exquisite dishes, including both Chinese and Western cuisine, all beautifully presented, with a good mix of meat and vegetables, as well as desserts and soups.

The servants stood orderly on both sides, providing quiet service throughout, and behaving with impeccable manners and etiquette.

Such a grand display from a top-tier wealthy family surprised Xu Qinghe, who came from an ordinary family. She subconsciously slowed her pace and became increasingly reserved and gentle in her demeanor.

The Qin family members were already seated, and when they saw the two walking side by side, they all wore gentle smiles on their faces.

Qin Zihao, Qin Ziyang, and the others were the first to greet her with smiles, "Second Aunt."

Xu Qinghe's cheeks flushed instantly, and she nodded gently in response.

During the meal, Xu Qinghe could feel the goodwill shown to her by the Qin family members, especially Zhao Lin and Qin Huirong, who kept asking her which food she liked and telling her not to be shy.

Qin Mao, in particular, held her hand and comforted her on several occasions.

Xu Qinghe felt both flattered and warm inside.

The atmosphere during breakfast was warm and harmonious.

After breakfast, Xu Qinghe took the initiative to speak to Zhao Lin:

"Big sister-in-law, I'd like to take Uncle Cat home to meet my parents and family today."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin's eyes instantly lit up with joy, her heart filled with delight.

She had long hoped that the two could finalize their marriage as soon as possible, and now that Xu Qinghe had taken the initiative to bring Qin Mao to meet her parents, it undoubtedly accelerated the process, so she was naturally happy.

"Alright, alright, it's my duty!" Zhao Lin smiled and nodded repeatedly. She turned to the assistant housekeeper beside her and instructed, "Prepare some suitable gifts for the second young mistress to take back later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law! But you don't need to prepare anything too expensive, something simple will do."

Xu Qinghe felt very embarrassed, as she had already received a bank card with ten million yuan in it from Zhao Lin last night.

When she went home today, Zhao Lin prepared a gift for her, and she felt a little guilty.

"No need to be so polite, we're all family." Zhao Lin waved her hand with a smile.

Qin Zheng saw this and nodded to Zhao Lin with satisfaction.

Seeing Qin Zheng's approving gaze, Zhao Lin stood up even straighter.

Not long after, Qin Mao drove Xu Qinghe out, and the car slowly drove away from the Qin family villa.

……

Meanwhile, in an old neighborhood, neighbors can be seen chatting idly everywhere.

Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Qinghe's eldest brother, Xu Huai, were sitting at home with a young man, enjoying tea and chatting.

The boy's name is Liu Hao. He is a rich second-generation heir whom Xu Huai tried hard to get close to. His family's company is well-known in the entertainment industry.

The three of them were chatting incessantly around Liu Hao, their attitude extremely obsequious, and every word they uttered was flattering.

"Young Master Hao, it's such a pleasure to have you take the time to come and help Qinghe resolve this important contract issue!"

"My Ah Huai is truly capable; he managed to befriend such a young and promising big shot as Young Master Hao!"

"Young Master Hao is handsome, wealthy, and so kind—a truly rare find!"

...

Liu Hao sat on the sofa, listening to the Xu family's string of flattery, his expression smug and his eyes full of arrogance.

Under the shady trees downstairs, as the elderly gathered and chatted, a Maybach slowly drove into the old residential area and came to a smooth stop in front of them.

The luxurious and imposing car body instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Neighbors passing by in the community stopped to watch, their faces filled with shock, whispering among themselves.

"My God! That must be a lot of money! I'd estimate around a million!"

"Whose family has gotten rich? I haven't heard anything about it."

"It looks like she's a daughter from the Xu family? Has the Xu family's daughter managed to marry into a wealthy family?"

Before them, an elderly man carrying several large bags full of top-quality gifts followed Xu Qinghe towards the apartment building.

The two went upstairs and gently knocked on the door.

When Xu's mother opened the door and saw her daughter Xu Qinghe, she exclaimed excitedly, "My Qinghe, you're finally back! Did you suffer outside?"

Xu Qinghe shook his head and introduced Qin Mao to him, "Mom, this is my boyfriend, his name is Qin Mao."

Upon hearing this, Xu's mother frowned as she looked at Qin Mao, whose face appeared somewhat mature, and then glanced at the gifts he was carrying. Her serious dissatisfaction and disdain were clearly visible.

Out of courtesy, Xu's mother did not make a scene on the spot, but with a cold expression, she reluctantly turned to the side and ushered the two into the house.

Inside the house, Xu's father and Xu Huai had been waiting for a long time. When Qin Mao entered, their expressions were equally indifferent.

Qin Mao smiled helplessly, "Uncle and Aunt, I brought some gifts with me this time. I hope you won't find them offensive."

"Just leave it there," Mrs. Xu said calmly. Looking at the red packaging box, she knew it was just some ordinary gifts, not worth much money.

Upon hearing Xu's mother's words, Qin Mao glanced at the valuable top-tier gift in his hand, then placed it in the corner of the entryway.

The Xu family of three completely ignored the gifts, not even bothering to glance at them.

The three of them subconsciously disliked Qin Mao from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, their purpose in bringing Xu Qinghe back was to match her with Liu Hao, but little did they know that Xu Qinghe had secretly started dating someone else.

It's no wonder they wouldn't give Qin Mao a friendly look.

From the moment they entered the house to the presentation of gifts and their seating, the Xu family maintained a cold attitude throughout.

The atmosphere in the living room was awkward and cold.

After a moment of silence, Xu's father frowned and spoke first, "Qin Mao, right? You don't look like a young man. How old are you this year?"

Qin Mao, feeling embarrassed, said, "Uncle, I'm forty-two years old this year."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence!

Mr. Xu's eyes widened, Mrs. Xu froze on the spot, and Xu Huai was even more astonished. The three of them looked at Xu Qinghuai, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

They had assumed Qin Mao was older, perhaps in his thirties, but they never expected him to be a full forty-two!

After a brief moment of distraction, Xu's mother could no longer hold back. She grabbed Xu Qinghe, pulled her into the bedroom, closed the door, and immediately began to lecture her in a low voice.

"Qinghe, are you out of your mind! He's forty-two years old, old enough to be your father!"

"What do you see in him? There are plenty of handsome young men out there, why do you have to like a man so much older than you?"

Xu's mother was anxious and angry, filled with worry, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

She remembered what Aunt Li next door had said: nowadays, many wealthy people like to keep young and beautiful girls as mistresses.

Those people spend money and resources to lure girls into losing themselves.

At that moment, the worst possible guess popped into Xu's mother's mind.

She gripped Xu Qinghe's arms tightly, her eyes fixed on her daughter, and said in a stern tone:

"Qinghe, tell me honestly, are you being kept by him? Did he force you to be with him by paying you?"
