Xu Yanfen stared at Yang Hao with a flabbergasted look, her throat turning dry.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down before finally asking, âHao, is this piano really worth 3.19 million?â
âAunt Xu, there you go again.â
âIâve already said that money isnât important, as long as you like it.â
Yang Hao still stuck to the same story.
However, this was also tantamount to acknowledging that the piano was indeed worth 3.19 million.
Xu Yanfen glanced at the nearly assembled piano and couldnât help but walk over and gently touch itâit was no mere piano!
In her eyes, it was practically stacks of red banknotes!
She had never dreamed that she, a piano enthusiast, could one day possess a piano worth 3.19 million.
Guan Weimin looked at his âson-in-law,â then at his daughter; the two had been together for less than a month, and he had already given such a lavish gift!
Could it be that they had already sealed the deal?
But then again, it was quite normal for young people to be intimate in a relationship nowadays.
Guan Weimin wasnât an old stick-in-the-mud; he just felt a sense of emptiness that the flower he had carefully nurtured for over twenty years had been so easily plucked by someone else.
There was no helping it, raising a daughter meant experiencing such moments.
Fortunately, his daughter hadnât been swindled by some âfuzzballâ kid; that would have really been distressing.
Just then, Guan Mengmengâs phone suddenly rang.
It was her cousin, Feng Lina.
âNanaâ¦â
âMengmeng, come outside for a minute.â
âMr. Yangâs gift for you has arrived!â
Feng Linaâs voice came through the phone.
âAh?â
âAnother gift??â
Guan Mengmeng exclaimed in surprise, then looked bewilderedly at Yang Hao beside her.
Her exclamation also drew the attention of everyone else; all eyes turned to Yang Hao.
âThen letâs go out and take a look!â
Yang Hao shrugged with a smile.
âOh, okay!â
Guan Mengmeng hung up the phone with a dazed look, not expecting that Yang Hao had prepared a gift for her as well as for her parents.
âSince itâs a gift for Mengmeng, Iâll go along for the fun,â said Zheng Guangrong, who was completely in the mood for spectating, curious about what else this son-in-law of the Guan family had prepared as a gift.
âUncle Three, I was just about to leave,â Zheng Xiaohai interjected.
âLetâs head out together; my car is still parked outside.â
The Guan familyâs residential complex was considered a mid-to-high-end enclave, segregating pedestrians from traffic, not allowing unregistered vehicles to enter.
So the group made their way downstairs en masse, exiting the complex.
There, Feng Lina stood by the roadside, beside a brand-new red Panamera.
âMengmeng!â
âAuntie, Uncleâ¦â
Feng Lina didnât expect everyone to come out, and she recognized a somewhat familiar face in the crowd.
Hmm?
Her high school classmate, Zheng Xiaohai?
âNana, long time no see!â
Just as Feng Lina was wondering if it was indeed him, Zheng Xiaohai greeted her, using the nickname from their high school days.
âIt really is you.â
âI was afraid Iâd recognized the wrong person!â
Feng Lina replied with a smile, curiously asking, âWhat are you doing here?â
âMy Uncle Three and Uncle Guan are neighbors, I happened to be visiting and ran intoâ¦â Zheng Xiaohai explained, his gaze naturally falling on the Panamera behind Feng Lina. He knew Feng Lina worked in sales at Porsche.
He naturally guessed that the car was probably a gift from Yang Hao to Guan Mengmeng.
âHao, your gift has arrived.â
âPlease check it out~!â
After greeting an old classmate, Feng Lina hurriedly wrapped things up with a cheerful demeanor. Previously, when Yang Hao bought cars from her, they were delivered on trailers, but since this car was a gift for her cousin Guan Mengmeng, she had driven it over herself.
âItâs actually a car!â
âAnd itâs a Porsche!!â
Zheng Guangrong, who had come for the show, couldnât help but exclaim.
While fine art and pianos were surely valuable, they were meant to stay at home. A car like this, however, was differentâit was a symbol of status.
A young woman like Guan Mengmeng driving a Panamera would be the center of attention wherever she went.
Guan Weimin and Xu Yanfen exchanged glances; their daughterâs current car was a âBallet Cat,â which was fine for daily commutes, but of course, couldnât compare to a Porsche Panamera.
They were not even in the same league!
Looking at the Panamera parked by the roadside, Guan Mengmeng couldnât help but recall a visit to her cousinâs dealership.
She had mentioned then how much she liked this car, and she couldnât believe Yang Hao had actually given it to her!
And if things were as expected, it was probably her cousin who had revealed her preference.
Guan Mengmeng turned to look at Yang Hao, her feelings mixed.
Facing such an unreasonably extravagant temporary boyfriend, she had no idea what to do!
And at a time like this, neither thanks nor refusal seemed appropriate.@@novelbin@@
âSee if you like it,â Yang Hao said with a nod, a smile on his face.
âI like it.â
âOf course I like itâ¦â Guan Mengmeng replied without a second thought.
She really wasnât the coy typeâif she liked something, she liked it!
After receiving the last gift, everyone headed back upstairs.
Zheng Guangrong, having had his fill of drama, went home, while Zheng Xiaohai, after seeing the Panamera Yang Hao had given, drove away in his BMW 3 Series, filled with reluctance.
Having already spent several years scrambling in the world, he knew that he stood no chance with Doctor Guan.
The competition was too strong.
There was no opportunity at all!
Heâd already made a silent comparison in his mind, realizing he had no advantage other than being a bit older.
But men and women differ; no one really cares about a small age difference, especially when the wealth and status gap is so wide.
