I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen placed the several large bags of food, which still smelled enticingly delicious, on the passenger seat.

The crispy crust of Wellington steak, the creamy aroma of cheesy lobster, and the unique scent of black truffle...

The various expensive scents blended together, making the entire carriage vibrant and fragrant.

Jiang Chen felt even more refreshed than by the taste.

Arguing with someone like Zhang Li is beneath you.

They used her most valued "money" and a method she couldn't understand to slap her in the face.

She suffered a tremendous loss and humiliation, yet she couldn't even find a reason to blame herself.

Jiang Chen could even imagine that from today onwards, the "Milan Time Packing Incident" would become a widely circulated classic joke in the small circles of the county.

And that self-righteous Zhang Li will become the most pathetic protagonist in this joke.

He had just fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and was about to go home.

In my mind, that familiar, heavenly system notification arrived as promised.

A golden screen of light suddenly unfolded!

【Ding! 】

[The host has been detected making a high-value "caring-type purchase" for their immediate family member (sister: Jiang Ling)!]

[Purchase List: One "Milan Time" Premium Deluxe Takeout Set Meal.]

Total spending amount: 3,188 yuan.

[Comprehensive Behavioral Assessment: When faced with malicious provocation and demands, the host did not engage in meaningless verbal sparring.]

Instead, they cleverly transformed a potentially negative social interaction into a genuine act of care for their core family members!

[And in a way that demonstrated great wisdom and vision, they maintained their dignity and integrity!]

This behavior perfectly aligns with the core principle of "enriching family members and enhancing family happiness!"

[System assessment: This purchase was of extremely high value and of extraordinary significance!]

[Settling your reward...]

[Trigger the "Family Protection" special effect!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received a 5x bonus!]

Jiang Chen's hand on the steering wheel paused slightly.

Five times.

Although it wasn't as devastating as the previous one, which was fifty times more destructive, it was still a pleasant surprise for a spur-of-the-moment "face-slapping consumption."

Golden numbers began to scroll rapidly across the screen.

[Rebate amount calculation in progress...]

[Base amount: 3,188 yuan.]

[Multiplier: x5!]

[Final rebate amount...]

[15,940 yuan!]

[The rebate amount has been sent to your account via a special encrypted channel. Please check your account!]

"Buzzing—"

My phone vibrated at just the right moment in my pocket.

A bank notification popped up announcing the arrival of funds.

Spend over 3,000, get back over 15,000, net profit of 12,000.

A satisfied smile curved Jiang Chen's lips.

This blind date was worth it!

Not only did he get his revenge and completely thwart Liu Cuifen's conspiracy, but he also made some pocket money.

Most importantly, this steaming hot lunch in the passenger seat will bring a big surprise to his younger sister who is working hard for the college entrance examination.

He stepped on the gas and sped off towards home.

……

"Brother! You're back!"

As soon as Jiang Chen opened the door, a wave of warmth hit him.

In the living room, the younger sister, Jiang Ling, was hunched over the brand-new mahogany octagonal table, frowning as she furiously wrote down formulas in a pile of exercise books.

She looked up when she heard the door open.

Jiang Ling's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the exquisite paper bags with the "Milan Time" logo printed on them that Jiang Chen was carrying.

A rich aroma, one she had only ever smelled in food videos, wafted over.

"Wow! Bro! What did you buy? It smells so good!"

The little girl threw down her pen and, like a happy little rabbit, hopped over, curiously craning her neck.

Jiang Chen smiled and placed the bag he was holding on the table, then ruffled his sister's hair.

"I brought you afternoon tea."

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

As each exquisite lunchbox was opened.

Golden and crispy Wellington steak, bright red and juicy baked lobster with cheese, and steaming, fragrant black truffle mushroom soup...

Jiang Ling was completely stunned by the lavish feast before her, which looked like something out of a movie.

"My God! Bro! This...this is way too extravagant!"

She covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with joy, almost speechless with surprise.

"How much money will this cost!"

Jiang Chen didn't answer how much it cost, but simply handed his sister a knife and fork and poured her a steaming cup of mushroom soup.

"Eat up, you little glutton."

"Just focus on your studies, get into a good university, and don't worry about anything else."

Jiang Ling nodded heavily, her eyes slightly red.

She picked up her fork, carefully speared a small piece of steak, and put it in her mouth.

The crispy outside and tender inside, with its rich, juicy flavor, exploded on her taste buds instantly!

"Mmm! It's delicious!"

The little girl squinted her eyes happily, a pure and contented smile spreading across her face.

Jiang Chen sat quietly beside his sister, watching her wolf down her food.

Looking at her genuine, unadulterated, joyful smile.

He suddenly felt that the sense of satisfaction at this moment was a hundred times stronger than when he received the 15,000 yuan rebate earlier.

This, perhaps, is the truest meaning of the phrase "family prosperity".
