Free Web NovelChapter 1762: Chapter 1848: High-End Taste
I indeed didn’t buy a house, but I bought them a big villa, because living in a commercial apartment is too noisy, and elderly people need more rest. As for the price, I haven’t really looked into it. Monkey, how much did the villa I bought for my parents cost?"
"Not much, just fifty million!"
Monkey really wouldn’t let go of such a great opportunity to hit back, and then took out that Anima watch worth four hundred thousand and said.
"Laoer, this watch is too shabby; it doesn’t show off my high-end taste!"
"Your so-called high-end taste! Last month you bought a Swiss watch for your parents worth more than a million, and they got conned. I say, why do you like buying watches so much?"
Su Xuan said with a smile as he looked at the elderly woman who was already feeling acute embarrassment!
"Well, auntie, you continue with your bus ride, we got to go, goodbye."
Su Xuan said and then he and Monkey got off the bus with great ease, leaving silence inside, followed by bursts of loud laughter.
"Keep pretending, hahahaha, isn’t it embarrassing?"
A nerdy guy clutched his stomach in pain. This was really quite normal though. That old lady was mocking Su Xuan and Monkey earlier, essentially laughing at everyone on the bus, but Su Xuan’s words really made her lose face big time, like having their face thrown back to Grandma’s house.
Maybe people didn’t believe that Su Xuan was telling the truth, but everyone was willing to believe he was, for a very simple reason: it was a kind of resonance. At least in their view, Su Xuan avenged them.
Life is really difficult these days, and this old lady kept emphasizing her daughter’s youth and capability. To be honest, how much does that really matter or have practical significance?
Many young people in society have already worked hard enough; there’s no need to put others down.
People like Su Xuan hate those who are constantly comparing themselves to others. Everyone’s opportunities are different, so there is no need for such comparisons.
The old lady’s face turned blue and white. To be honest, she was stung badly by Su Xuan today. She got off the bus hurriedly as it was her stop, looking at Su Xuan and Monkey with gritted teeth, and said with venom.
"You two poor ghosts dare to humiliate me; wait and see. I will definitely get back at you!"
She quickly took out her phone and made a call. Only then did she nod in satisfaction, muttering softly to herself.
"I’ll definitely make you lose face later."
"Bro, we really had a great cooperation today, but how did you know I bought a million yuan watch for my dad!"
"You big dumbass, aren’t you afraid of giving your dad a heart attack?"
Su Xuan said that casually back then; he didn’t expect this guy to really do such an absurd thing.
"Uh... I told him it only cost one hundred yuan. You don’t know, my dad had always wanted a good watch since he was a kid, but we were poor back then and couldn’t afford it. Later, when I made money, I thought about buying him a good one. So, I bought one for a million.
Then I thought it through and figured if I gave it to the old man, he might get a heart attack, so I told him it was one hundred yuan. Guess what, my dad showed it off everywhere, saying I bought him a high-end watch for one hundred yuan. And then my second uncle, who knows his stuff, saw it was an expensive watch and bought it for a thousand. Do you know how excited my dad was?"
"What happened?"
Su Xuan asked weakly.
"My dad called me, saying he had a business mind, that he made ten times the profit. You know how frustrating it is? I still don’t dare tell him the watch was bought for a million!"
"Cough cough... I give up on you. Doesn’t your dad still know you’re worth over a billion?"
Su Xuan felt this guy is indeed like Monkey; the watch worth a million was sold by his dad for a thousand, all the while thinking he had a keen business mind.
"No, he still thinks I’m a pauper. Last month my dad even sent money to me saying that the family fishpond had a big harvest!"
Monkey hadn’t returned to his hometown in over two years. It’s not that he doesn’t want to go; he just can’t find the time. Since he, Liu Ruobing, and the superstar Tang Zhixuan joined the company, business had been booming. He barely had time to eat.
That’s why Monkey’s parents always thought he wasn’t making money, hence too embarrassed to return home.
"You’re really a legend!"
Su Xuan patted his nose, smiling as he said.
"Bro, give me some advice. I’ve also bought a villa here, but I don’t dare let them know now, because I’m worried they’ll say I robbed a bank. You don’t know my dad’s heart isn’t good!"
"Hahaha..."
Su Xuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He had visited Monkey’s house and knew a bit about his parents. They were very simple people. Now that Monkey’s worth over a billion, his parents probably still think he’s a pauper.
"You’re still laughing, help me think of something. I’m so worried. Now that my villa is beautifully furnished, it’s still empty. I originally thought of having them live in the city, but now I’m really scared to tell them. A few days ago, didn’t my dad send me twenty thousand yuan? I told him I’m pretty well off now, saying I’d send them a hundred thousand, but then my dad thought I’d borrowed a high-interest loan, and talked to me all night.
"Monkey, I give up on you!"
Su Xuan clutched his stomach, laughing almost to cramps. Heavens, this guy is really a talent.
"Actually, this matter is simple. The reason your parents don’t believe you is because you don’t have a wife yet. In rural areas, if you don’t have a wife, you’re considered to have not achieved anything. How about I have Xue’er help find you one!"
Su Xuan said with a smile.
"That’s what you said, and I want a pretty one!"
"Alright, I won’t introduce you to a dinosaur!"
Su Xuan said as he and Monkey entered the campus of Subei University. This was Su Xuan’s high school campus back in the day. Of course, now more than half of the facilities in this school were sponsored by the Su Group.
"Mr. Su, how rare to see you!"
The security guard greeted Su Xuan courteously.
Su Xuan was obviously famous at this university, as there is a statue of him in the school square, which the school built in his honor.
"Yeah, just bringing a friend for some basketball!"
Su Xuan nodded, at this time he and Monkey had already entered the campus. It had been several years since he last visited, and there were many changes.
"What a pity that San is too busy, otherwise the three of us could have had a great game!"
