"Yang, how much did this liquor cost you?"


    Sun Dehai asked curiously.


    Upon hearing this question, everyone''s gaze in the room fell on Yang Hao, all curious as to how much these four bottles of liquor could actually be worth.


    Even Sun Xinyi quietly asked, "Is it really that expensive?"


    Facing the curious looks, Yang Hao didn''t keep them in suspense, gesturing with his hand a six: "Sixty thousand."


    "Holy moly! Sixty thousand!!!"


    "Four bottles of liquor for sixty thousand???"


    "That''s fifteen thousand per bottle!!"


    "This liquor is even more expensive than a gold bracelet!!!"


    After Yang Hao announced the price, there was an immediate outcry from the crowd.


    The four elders were particrly dumbfounded.


    Bai Wensong, the younger brother, held his forehead, silentlyining to himself: He really did show off in the end.


    "Yang, there was no need to buy such expensive liquor!"


    Sun Xinyi said in a low voice, then she squeezed Yang Hao''s hand under the table in a manner that showed her concern for her marital family while she was at her natal home.


    She truly felt it was too expensive. The liquor, along with the gold bracelet and the other gifts, had a total value of over a hundred thousand!


    Too extravagant!


    "Dehai, let''s not drink this liquor today, let''s have the Huanghelou Bai Wensong brought over..."


    Coming back to his senses, Sun Degang cheerfully suggested, as he returned the four bottles of liquor back into their box. He didn''t even ce them in the living room, but took them directly back to the bedroom.


    He felt that was safer. If they were left in the living room, someone might identally kick it or something after drinking too much, risking damage!


    Sun Dehai didn''t say much; this was understandable. If it was a two-thousand-plus Moutai for a little taste, fine.


    But this liquor, damn it, fifteen thousand a bottle!


    What status does he have!


    To think he deserves such expensive liquor!!


    While Sun Dehai was feeling emotional, he subconsciously nced at Yang Hao. This boyfriend his niece brought home was indeed extraordinary; just the gifts he brought were worth over a hundred thousand!


    What kind of family does hee from!


    Throughout the meal, Sun Nannan couldn''t help but take a covert look at her "Brother-inw," who had given her mother a gold bracelet and her father a sixty-thousand-yuan worth of liquor.


    But it seemed there was no gift for her!


    It''s true, minors are always overlooked, aren''t they!


    I''m going to be an adult soon!


    And I can go to college in September...


    Sun Nannan silently grumbled to herself.


    Just then, she saw her brother-inw stand up from his seat and fetch a tastefully wrapped paper bag from the pile of gifts on the ground.


    "Nannan, your gift!"


    Yang Hao cheerfully passed the paper bag to Sun Nannan.


    "Huh?"


    "There''s a gift for me???"


    Sun Nannan was both surprised and delighted, thinking to herself: Can my brother-inw hear my thoughts?


    Just like in those online novels!


    Of course, Yang Hao couldn''t actually hear her thoughts; he was simply thorough in his considerations.


    "Thank you, Brother-inw!"


    After a brief pause, Sun Nannan quickly took the gift and expressed her thanks.


    Then the young girl couldn''t wait to unwrap the paper bag...


    Ah!


    A phone!!


    Sun Nannan eximed, her eyes shining.


    Her brother-inw had given her a brand-new "Apple 15pro max."


    Although the hottest phone at the moment was far ahead of others, students still preferred Apple phones, as they felt it gave them status.


    Some students even listed "phone model" as a separate category in their social profiles, unting an Apple.


    Yang Hao didn''t really study mobile phones; his principle for gift-giving was to cater to the preferences of the recipient and to consider everyone''s practical needs.


    You give them what they like, right!


    Yibao''s younger sister can be considered as his own sister-inw, so establishing a good rtionship was necessary.


    However, this sister-inw had a suffix: sister-inw number 2!


    And Li Manni was the "chief sister-inw," her status unshakeable.


    "Long live Brother-inw!"


    "Brother-inw is so good~!"


    Sun Nannan, obviously a more upbeat girl than her sister, was utterly thrilled by the Apple phone and couldn''t help cheering.


    "Yang, there was no need for Nannan, a high school student, to have such an expensive phone..."


    Sun Xinyi murmured quietly.


    "She''s going to be in college in just a few months anyway!"


    Yang Hao smiled and then said to Sun Nannan, "Nannan, try to y less with the phone, okay? Once the college entrance exams are over, you can y however you like."


    "Mhm, I''ll listen to Brother-inw!"


    Sun Nannan nodded repeatedly.


    At this time, He Min and Sun Degang exchanged nces subconsciously. Their daughter''s "son-inw" was not simple, having managed to appease all three of them.


    In such a situation, how could one have the nerve to ask about his past marriage?


    Indeed, they felt a bit awkward to ask, but Zhang Hongli had not forgotten about it, and by this point, she wasn''t just asking for Bai Wensong''s sake, but also to find some emotional bnce for herself.


    With a daughter of her own, their family had not received any significant gifts when she got married.


    Yet this grandniece brought home a boyfriend, and before even discussing marriage, they had already received gifts worth more than a hundred thousand!


    People are afraid ofparisons!


    After silently making theparison in her mind, Zhang Hongli felt out of sorts.


    So, she cleared her throat and asked, "Yang, you mentioned earlier that you were married before. Do you have any children?"


    With this question, once again, all eyes were focused on Yang Hao.


    Because this question was crucial!


    Nowadays, people don''t care much about a marriage certificate, but whether there are children involved is a big deal, as it affects a lot of things.


    "I have a daughter, five years old."


    Yang Hao answered truthfully.


    Ah?


    He actually has a daughter???


    He Min and Sun Degang were totally shocked by the answer.


    Zhang Hongli, however, revealed a smile on her face, thinking to herself that it''s no wonder he was behaving so generously—it turns out there''s such a big w!


    Zhang Hongli immediately pped thebels "older," "divorced," and "with child" onto Yang Hao.


    Her little brother Bai Wensong, sitting next to her, was overjoyed, puffing out his chest and holding his head high.


    He stood up!


    I''ve risen again!


    Bai Wensong shouted in his heart.


    Just now, he had beenpletely suppressed by Yang Hao, in every aspect.


    But now, he felt he was propping back up again.


    Choice A: Young, single, childless


    Choice B: Older, divorced, with child


    Is this even a multiple-choice question?


    This is a freebie, right!!!


    Sun Xinyi, oh Sun Xinyi, you have to take this freebie!


    Bai Wensong cleared his throat forcefully, attempting to get Sun Xinyi''s attention, but she wasn''t looking at him at all. Instead, she was gazing affectionately at the older man beside her, clinging tightly to his arm as if she wanted to show everyone present.


    Having a child doesn''t matter!


    I want to be a stepmother!!


    "Yang, you know that Xinyi is only 24 years old, right?" The overjoyed Zhang Hongli spoke again.


    "Mhm, I know," Yang Hao nodded.


    "So do you think it''s appropriate for a 24-year-old to be a stepmother?"


    "Honestly, Xinyi is still a child herself, immature in her thinking!" Zhang Hongli continued.


    Thisment about being immature was also a hint at her poor choice in a boyfriend.


    "Second Aunt, my rtionship with Yang is something I''ve considered very carefully."


    "Since I''ve chosen to be with him, I will dly ept everything about him!"


    Sun Xinyi expressed her stance with conviction, and her talk of "dly epting everything about him" actually epassed far more than the others at the scene were thinking.


    They only thought Sun Xinyi was talking about being divorced and having a child.


    But in truth, it included everything, like Meng Yuyu and so on...


    "Xinyi, you''re still young, there''s so much you don''t understand yet!"


    Zhang Hongli sighed and then turned to Yang Hao, "Yang, you''ve been through this. You shouldn''t be so impulsive in your actions!"


    "You should look further ahead..."


    Yang Hao yed dumb: "So what do you mean, Second Aunt?"


    "I don''t mean anything special."


    "I just hope that both you and Xinyi will make your decisions carefully!"


    Zhang Hongli spread her hands and continued, "Marriage and dating are twopletely different things. There''s a lot to consider."


    "For example, you have a daughter. So when you and Xinyi get married, you''ll still want to have children. Then the matter of renting arge enough ce for a family of four is a major issue, with housing prices in Jiangcheng being so high..."


    Zhang Hongli kept rambling on, but Yang Hao felt he had heard all this before.


    Right, it had been at Guan Mengmeng''s house.


    The elders were also quite unsatisfied with his status.


    However,ter at dinner, Guan Mengmeng''s mother kept asking Yang Hao when he was going to get married...


    Yang Hao looked up at Zhang Hongli, silently mocking in his heart: This upright and principled Second Aunt of mine, I hope you can always maintain such integrity!


    Don''t wimp outter!


    "So, Yang!"


    "Do you have a house in Jiangcheng?"


    After a lengthy lead-up, Zhang Hongli threw out her question.


    "Yes, I do."


    Yang Hao nodded.


    "How big is it?" Zhang Hongli pressed further.


    "688 square meters..." Yang Hao replied nonchntly.


    "You see, 68..."


    Zhang Hongli originally intended to say, a house of sixty-eight square meters is too small to live in.


    But her brain immediately corrected this mistake.


    It''s 688!!


    He said 688...


    Zhang Hongli''s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Yang Hao, "You''re talking about a six hundred eighty-eight square meter house??"


    He Min and Sun Degang also turned their gazes towards him.


    They were shocked by the number 688 as well.


    It would take a very wealthy magnate to buy a 688 square meter house.


    Bai Wensong''s mouth, meanwhile, began to twitch violently.


    He felt sure that this guy was bluffing!


    After all, the house was far away in Jiangcheng and not so easily checked, but really, this was too absurd!


    Even if you had said two hundred square meters, with the previousvish disy for credibility, people might have believed you...


    But now you say you have a 688 square meter house.


    Do you even know what a 688 square meter house looks like!


    You probably don''t even have a concept of 688 square meters!


    Bai Wensong ranted furiously in his mind.


    At that moment, however, Sun Xinyi spoke up, "Second Aunt, Yang does own a 688 square meter house. I''m aware of this fact and there''s no doubt about it!"


    "Also, Yang is not only my boyfriend, he is also the leader in my current workce..."


    "The President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!"
