Chapter 1105: Great Wealth Hidden in the City
The Spring Festival of 2014 was just around the corner, and Mao Wa returned from the United States to celebrate the Spring Festival.
The whole family was gathered together, which made Lao Huang and Zeng Lijuan very happy. As they get older, what they love most is the atmosphere of having their children and grandchildren all around them!
Moreover, his eldest son, Huang Dahai, returned home for the Spring Festival this year. What's even more gratifying is that he was promoted again, and his original four silver stars were replaced with one gold star.
As Maowa's girlfriend, Su Jin accompanied Maowa to visit his grandparents on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Little Maowa!"
"Hmm!" Maowa responded while watching his cousins playfully bickering.
"This is too much!" Su Jin looked troubled, holding many bank cards in her hand. These were the red envelopes given to her by the elders of the Huang family when she came to pay New Year's visits today, and they contained these kinds of cards.
This is a anonymous bank prepaid card, similar to a supermarket shopping card. It shows the amount in the card and has a PIN area on the back. You can scratch it off to see the PIN, and then use it like a regular bank card.
However, the amounts on these cards were all quite large, in the six figures, so Su Jin felt a little uneasy.
Maowa comforted his girlfriend, "Take it. This is from your grandparents, uncles, and aunts because they like you. Look at me, I have much less than you." As he spoke, he took out the red envelopes from his pocket and showed them to Su Jin. Each envelope contained only a few large red bills.
Upon hearing this, Su Jin lightly punched her boyfriend, then stuffed all the cards into his hands.
"What? What I gave you is yours." But to her surprise, the little boy immediately gave it back, saying he didn't want it anymore.
"Too much!" Su Jin said softly.
Mao Wa said to Su Jin with a mischievous grin, "This is your first time visiting. There won't be this many more in the future."
Su Jin believed it to be true: "Is that so!"
"Hahaha, I was just kidding." Maowa couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Feeling embarrassed and annoyed, Su Jin didn't want to discipline her boyfriend in front of the Huang family, so she could only glare at him a few times in dissatisfaction.
After nine o'clock, Zeng Hong and Zeng Xia's families also came to wish their aunt and uncle a Happy New Year. With more people, it became even more lively, and Su Jin had two more red envelopes in her hands.
She didn't even need to look; it seemed that Maowa's family had planned this beforehand, as they all gave the same amount of red envelopes, and the two aunts also gave bank cards.
This put a lot of pressure on Su Jin. She received nearly a million yuan in lucky money just for visiting her boyfriend's family for the New Year. That's just too outrageous!
What shocked her even more was that her boyfriend's grandparents lived in an old-style house with such a large garden, more than 1,000 square meters, right in the heart of Shanghai!
The key point is that this garden was built in the style of Suzhou gardens, and you couldn't tell it at all from the outside. At that moment, Su Jin understood the meaning of the saying "great seclusion is in plain sight".
Maowa accompanied Su Jin for a stroll in the yard, chatting as they walked.
Su Jin asked, "Why is August so young? If that's the case, then my third uncle and aunt must have been over forty when they gave birth to her, right?"
Maowa naturally knew some things about his third uncle's family, especially about August's background. The little guy was adopted, but all the younger generation in the family had been told countless times not to mention this to anyone, especially little August.
Therefore, there are some things he can't tell Su Jin right now. He can only tell her slowly after Su Jin enters the family. After all, those things are family secrets and can't be told casually, even if Su Jin is his girlfriend.
As the two were strolling in the yard, they bumped into Tang Ruixuan, who had just come out to make a phone call. Upon seeing this, Tang Ruixuan took the initiative to greet Su Jin: "Hello, I am Maowa's cousin, Tang Ruixuan. My family calls me Xuanxuan."
Before Maowa could even introduce himself, Su Jin spoke up, "Hello, Sister Xuanxuan, my name is Su Jin. I always hear Maowa talk about you, saying you're very beautiful, and it's true!"
"Really?" Tang Ruixuan laughed happily, and even winked at Maowa mischievously.
After the two shook hands, Tang Ruixuan first looked at Maowa and then at Su Jin, shaking her head and joking with Maowa: "Maowa, you're really lucky to have found such a good girlfriend."
The two of them burst into laughter. Although it was a joke, they could both tell that it was a compliment.
Since confirming his relationship with Su Jin, Maowa's personality has become much more cheerful. He even joked with Tang Ruixuan, "Sister Xuanxuan, when are you going to bring your boyfriend home for us to see?"
Tang Ruixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's only a matter of time!"
Although it was Su Jin's first time meeting Tang Ruixuan, she immediately liked Tang Ruixuan's personality, and she was also so beautiful.
At this moment, Tang Ruixuan took the initiative to chat with Su Jin.
At this moment, Tang Ruixuan took the initiative to chat with Su Jin.
"My family is very easy to get along with; I'm sure you've met them, right?"
Su Jin nodded. After arriving here today, she truly understood what a wealthy family was like.
True wealth is something that lies within; all the wild speculations and imaginings outside pale in comparison to what is here.
She had interacted with those rich kids back in the US, but compared to the charisma she felt now, they were nothing. Today, Su Jin truly experienced what the "essence" of a super-rich family meant.
"Yes, I've met them all. The elders are all very kind, and my younger siblings are very good to me too."
"There's one person who's not here today; she's the most mischievous one in our family."
Su Jin smiled and said, "I know, it's Liu Jin's sister, right?"
Tang Ruixuan looked at Maowa with a mischievous grin and said, "Oh, it seems you've given a very comprehensive introduction!"
The little boy blushed deeply.
As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he shall appear. Of course, Liu Jin was definitely not coming back; what came was her phone call.
"Sister Xuan, Happy New Year! I'm sending you my New Year's greetings. A dollar or two is fine, a hundred thousand or eighty thousand is fine too, give me a red envelope!"
"Have you no shame? You're such a grown-up, how dare you ask me for New Year's money? We're the same generation, okay?" The two sisters joked on the phone.
"Sigh! I really envy you guys being able to stay home. I'm still on duty at the computer right now." Huo Xinyuan complained a little on the other end of the phone. Now she is a communications soldier in a communications company of a certain base, responsible for guarding the switchboard, so she has to be on duty at the computer. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it just so happens to be her turn to be on duty. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she called home to wish her family a Happy New Year.
The two chatted for a while. Tang Ruixuan was quite concerned about Huo Xinyuan's life in the army. However, she could sense from the phone call that Huo Xinyuan seemed to have adapted to life in the army, which made her very happy.
When the two had finished chatting, Tang Ruixuan deliberately kept them in suspense: "Do you know who I'm with?"
Huo Xinyuan, on the other end of the phone, obviously didn't know who it was: "Who is it?"
Fortunately, Tang Ruixuan didn't keep Huo Xinyuan in suspense any longer: "Your brother Maowa's girlfriend is with me."
The voice on the other end of the phone immediately rose: "Really!"
Tang Ruixuan complained angrily, "Can you please stop being so dramatic? You're going to deafen me."
"Sis, hurry up and let her answer the phone. I want to get to know her. I'm her future sister-in-law."
The voice was quite loud, and Su Jin, who was standing to the side, could hear it clearly. She couldn't help but laugh. This nun seemed to be quite a clever person.
Tang Ruixuan then handed the phone to Su Jin: "Say a few words to her, otherwise she won't hang up."
After receiving the call, Su Jin first exchanged New Year's greetings with Huo Xinyuan. The two then chatted for a while, and Huo Xinyuan even made an appointment with Su Jin over the phone to go shopping together after she was discharged from the army or returned from visiting relatives. Su Jin naturally agreed.
Just as the two were talking on the phone, Huang Ruiying arrived.
"Sister Xuanxuan, your phone is busy, my dad asked me to come find you."
