Chapter 91: Chapter 90: Surprise Blind Box

That evening.

At Gao Yuan’s home.

After dinner, Gao Yuan and his parents began a heart-to-heart talk that lasted for three long hours.

The conversation started with his graduation from college and continued all the way to his current situation.

First, his father, Gao Jianmin, criticized him for only having saved 400,000 yuan after working in Hang City for eight years.

This made Gao Yuan regret being so honest. He had dutifully told his dad every time he got a raise, and his parents remembered the numbers even better than he did.

Although Gao Yuan was ashamed of having wasted so much money in the past, having it all dredged up again for another round of criticism was still hard to swallow.

From there, the topic shifted to Gao Yuan’s love life.

Gao Jianmin believed that at least a third of his son’s salary had been spent on dating. He could understand spending money on a relationship, but not if you spent all that money and failed to turn your girlfriend into a wife.

That was just raising a wife for someone else!

Gao Yuan really wanted to retort, ’Look at it from another angle—didn’t I get to have fun with someone else’s future wife without spending that much money?’

But he didn’t dare say it. He was afraid his father would do something that would delight his enemies and pain his own family.

For the first hour of the three-hour talk, Gao Yuan was the one taking all the heat.

His parents finally stopped criticizing him only when he brought up the topic of starting his own business again.

The conversation then shifted to the share transfer agreement that Gao Yuan had shown them.

Both of them wondered if Gao Yuan had been scammed and was being set up to be the fall guy.

Although Gao Yuan understood his parents meant well, he couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

’Can’t you just hope for the best for me for once?!’

’If they heard someone else’s kid got such a huge stake in a company, they’d be green with envy!’

’But when their own son gets it, they think he doesn’t deserve it.’

’Where’s the logic in that?!’

Finally, Gao Yuan just took out his phone, searched for information on the Lin Group, and showed it to his parents.

His dad even made a special call to one of his old high school classmates to ask about it.

Only after hearing about the Lin Group from that billionaire classmate did he finally believe Gao Yuan.

Naturally, the conversation then turned to money.

With family, talking about money was just so... natural.

"How much will you get in dividends this year?"

"Give us half. Your mom can save it up for your wedding!"

His parents were unbelievably direct, asking for half right off the bat and saying it was to save for his wedding.

"COUGH! COUGH!"

Gao Yuan, who was drinking tea, choked and started coughing into the trash can.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"You start coughing the moment we ask for money?"

This attitude about money only reaffirmed Gao Yuan’s belief that he was, indeed, their biological son.

’If I weren’t, could they possibly ask for money so brazenly?’

After a few more coughs, Gao Yuan composed himself, spread his hands wide, and said to his parents, "There’s no money!"

"I bought the shares at the end of the year, so there are no dividends for me."

Seeing the disbelieving looks on his parents’ faces, Gao Yuan had to go through another lengthy explanation.

By the time the conversation ended, Gao Jianmin and Huang Xiuxia had agreed to let Gao Yuan stay in Hang City.

They also talked about his relationship with Lin Wanyu.

His parents were supportive on this front and told Gao Yuan to get married as soon as possible.

After all, he was already thirty. If he had kids soon, they could help take care of them. Once they got older, they wouldn’t have the energy to help, even if they wanted to.

Gao Yuan naturally understood his parents’ expectations.

In his heart, he also wanted to have his own children soon. Every time he went to his sister’s house to play with his little nephew, he would think about how wonderful it would be to have a child of his own.

As for marrying Lin Wanyu, that was something that required more long-term planning.

’If it really comes down to it, maybe we’ll just skip the wedding and make a couple of kids first!’

The family talked for a while longer, but Gao Yuan didn’t want to continue. The topic of marriage seemed to have a strange magic to it, giving his father an endless stream of things to say.

And his mother, playing the part of the straight man, always knew just when to poke him at critical moments.

"Mom, Dad, I’m tired. I’m going to bed."

Gao Jianmin and Huang Xiuxia glanced at Gao Yuan. They knew he couldn’t take it anymore.

But now that their son was on the verge of becoming wealthy, they were no longer as worried about his marriage prospects as before.

Her only worry was that Gao Yuan was too honest and didn’t know how to sweet-talk girls.

...

Lying in bed, Gao Yuan could hear his parents in the living room, still discussing his marriage.

He couldn’t quite understand their worries. ’Maybe one day, when I have a child of my own, I’ll be the same way,’ he thought.

This trip home had resolved the most important issue.

From now on, he would have no more worries holding him back in Hang City. He could finally go all out.

It was just a little past nine, and Gao Yuan wasn’t sleepy yet. As was his habit, he opened TikTok.

While scrolling through videos of pretty female streamers, Gao Yuan suddenly wanted to see if Xudu City’s Tongcheng feature had any high-quality streamers.

He opened the Tongcheng livestream channel.

He swiped through several livestreams, but they were all just chat rooms with no talent showcase whatsoever.

Besides, the looks they achieved with the help of beauty filters were a bit too much for Gao Yuan to handle.

He swiped again, getting ready to exit the Tongcheng channel.

But he didn’t swipe at the right angle and accidentally entered the next Tongcheng livestream.

This time, however, Gao Yuan found he didn’t want to leave.

The woman in the video was wearing a green overcoat, but she was actually quite attractive!

A melon-seed face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and bright red lips.

"A breath of fresh air on Tongcheng!"

Gao Yuan had just typed that line in the public chat when the streamer immediately noticed the level 43 account that had just entered.

"Welcome, Uncle Er!"

"We’re so close! Only 3 kilometers apart."

"Uncle Er, can you give me a Hot Air Balloon?"

"There’s a surprise blind box if you send a Hot Air Balloon!"

Uncle Er was Gao Yuan’s personal TikTok name. Almost all of his social media accounts had the word for "two" in them.

This was because he was the second child in his family.

Gao Yuan was long used to the streamers’ enthusiasm. To earn those virtual gifts, these female streamers were experts at sweet-talking people.

They’d coax you once, then maybe ignore you a bit, and before you knew it, you couldn’t help but spend some money.

That was how Gao Yuan’s account had reached level 43.

But he was tired of it now. He’d just occasionally watch some suggestive dances to spice up his life a little.

"I’m just here for the free show!"

Gao Yuan made his intentions clear in the chat.

The streamer, whose name was Nina, saw Gao Yuan’s message but pretended she hadn’t, turning to chat with other people in the stream.

Her conversation was basically two-and-a-half sentences out of every three asking for gifts, with the other half-sentence being pure enticement.

After watching for a little over a minute, a Hot Air Balloon gift suddenly floated across the screen.

The gift made Nina instantly cover her mouth and giggle, after which she showered the big sucker who sent the gift with thanks.

"Thanks to ’Old Man on Welfare’ for the Hot Air Balloon!"

"And now, I’m going to open the surprise blind box~"

As she spoke, Nina slowly undid the buttons on her green overcoat, pausing deliberately as she got to the last one.

Then, she instantly flung the overcoat open.

"Whoa!"

"So big!"

...

A crowd of old pervs in the chat room stared as they saw that underneath the green overcoat, Nina was wearing a three-point bikini!

But Nina, live on stream, quickly closed the overcoat again.

She didn’t dare show herself in a bikini for too long, or her channel would be banned.

"Did you guys like that blind box?"

"I’m going to get the next surprise blind box ready!"

Nina disappeared from the screen, presumably to change her outfit.

Gao Yuan found this livestream quite interesting. ’This Nina knows how to play the game!’

Gao Yuan stayed until ten o’clock, watching several of the "blind boxes" Nina had carefully prepared.

He was actually quite satisfied with all of them. ’This girl has a lot of skins,’ he thought.
