Chapter 925: Red Packet

Afternoon, 5 pm.

The sun was setting, and they could feel the cooling sea breeze.

Everyone in the car was captivated by the beautiful scenery. They rolled down the windows to feel the refreshing sea breeze. The light blue sea differs from the sea they saw in Northern China. Northern China’s sea is dark blue, and the water is polluted.

“We reached!”

“The sea is beautiful.”

“Eh? How come I did not see anyone swimming?”

“This is not a tourism area and is not open to the public.”

“Wu Er, Mr. Wu is wealthy! He can stay in a mansion by such a beautiful beach.”

Everyone envied Wu Er as the car drove up to a gate. A few security guards guarded the entrance, and they opened the gates when they saw Wu Er’s car.

The Mercedes entered the compound.

This is a high-end mansion by the sea. They had to drive for a while before they reached the mansions. Wu Er was staying in the third area, and Dong Xuebing had to drive around before he saw his mansion. The mansion had a large front courtyard, and it was next to the beach. The front yard was covered by sand with a few patios. A BBQ stand was placed by the side, and Wu Er was standing there.”

“Uncle Wu.” Dong Xuebing greeted and smiled.

Wu Er turned and laughed. “Welcome!”

“Wow!” Xie Hao exclaimed. “This place is beautiful!”

Everyone got out of the car and looked at the beach. They had taken off their socks and shoes. Beach sandals were prepared for them by the roadside. They walked on the sandy beach and felt they were in paradise.

Xie Huilan shook hands with Wu Er. “Sorry to trouble you.”

Wu Er waved his hand. “I planned to invite you all even if you did not call. It’s lively with more people.” No wonder his business was so successful. He can say nice things. “Ah, Xiao Dong. You still have not introduced the rest to me.”

Dong Xuebing slapped his forehead. “Oh, I forgot to introduce them earlier. These are Xie Ran, Xie Jing, and Xie Hao. They are my brothers and sister. This is Sun Kai, Xiao Jing’s boyfriend.” He turned to Xie Huilan. “This is my wife, Xie Huilan.”

Although Wu Er guessed Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan were a couple on the plane, he still sighed with envy. “You are a lucky man.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “I think so too.”

He is lucky to find a beautiful wife.

Wu Er called everyone. “It’s dinner time. Let’s chat while eating. I asked my helpers to prepare the BBQ ingredients. Let’s BBQ ourselves.”

“I will help!”

“Me too.”

“Ah… it smells delicious.”

“Eat to your fill. I have prepared enough food.”

Everyone barbequed their food and ate on the beach chairs.

Crabs, prawns, squids, fish, etc., all the ingredients were fresh and delicious.

Even Xie Ran, who was packed from the street food this afternoon, was eating. “Delicious.”

Xie Hao asked. “Grandpa, how much does this mansion cost? It’s too luxurious.”

“Don’t be rude.” Xie Jing gave Xie Hao a stare. “Just eat your food.”

It wasn’t polite to ask such a personal question, as they know Wu Er today. However, Wu Er thought nothing about it. “I don’t know how much it costs now. I bought it many years ago, costing around two hundred million. It includes this mansion and that section of the beach. Oh, the mansion comes along with a yacht. Land prices have increased significantly recently, and they should be more expensive now. This piece of land should appreciate now. It’s a good investment.”

“A few hundred million?!” Sun Kai thought to himself.

Xie Hao exclaimed exaggeratedly. “You are so rich.”

Wu Er waved his hand modestly. “I only have a small business, and my wealth is nothing compared to your Brother-in-law.”

Dong Xuebing quickly replied. “No… no… no…. I am not as wealthy as you.”

Wu Er laughed and pointed to Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan’s rings. “I will never spend a few hundred million for a pair of diamond rings.”

“Sigh… no…” Dong Xuebing waved his hand modestly.

Sun Kai wiped his sweat and thought to himself. They are using hundred of millions as units for the things they bought. Sigh…. These people are amazing. He was not prepared for all these before he came for this trip. He thought it would be a simple relaxing vacation with Xie Jing’s family. But he got shocked after he boarded the plane. If he knew Xiao Jing’s family was rich and powerful, he would not dare to join this trip. Luckily, Xiao Jing’s family members are friendly and polite to him. They did not make him feel awkward.

Suddenly, a sweet voice shouted from the mansion.

“Dad! I am hungry.”

“I tried to wake you earlier. Did you just wake up?”

“I was tired from swimming this morning.”

“Come over here and meet your brothers and sisters.”

A fourteen years old girl walked out listlessly. She was wearing a swimsuit and looked cute with her ponytail.

Wu Er put his arms on his daughter’s shoulder. “This is my daughter, Youyou.”

Xie Jing smiled. “Your daughter is so adorable. Is she around thirteen years old?”

“Haha…. She is fourteen.” Wu Er turned to his daughter. “These are my friends. Greet them.”

“Nice to meet you, Brothers and Sisters.” Youyou greeted everyone sweetly and grabbed a stick of squid. She took a big bite and burned her tongue.

Wu Er laughed. “Sorry, my child is rude.”

“I am hungry.” Youyou continued eating.

Xie Hao finally met a beautiful girl in a swimsuit and could not take his eyes off her.

Youyou noticed Xie Hao’s glaze and gave him a stare.

Xie Hao was only a few years older than Youyou, and how they exchanged ‘looks’ made everyone laugh.

Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and slapped the back of Xie Hao’s head. “Stop looking at others like this. Did you forget the manners I taught you when you were young?”

Xie Hao rolled his eyes. “I am looking at the BBQ pit.”

Dong Xuebing, who was sitting behind, was thinking. Wu Er had lent him his car, treated them to dinner, and let them stay at his place. He had to give something to Youyou a gift. Furthermore, it’s Lunar New Year. He does not know about Taiwanese customs, but they are from China. It’s their custom to give the younger generation red packets. He had not bought anything on his way here and checked his pockets and body. Suddenly, he felt the jade pendant on his neck. It was a jadeite jade pendant. When Yunxuan was running her auction company, he had won a crystal jade from jade stone gambling. He used the leftover jade to make a ring and a jade pendant. The ring was given to Yang Zhaode’s niece, Su Jia, as a gift, and he continued to wear this jade pendant necklace.

That’s it.

Dong Xuebing walked over. “Nice to meet you, Youyou.”

“Hi,” Youyou replied with her mouth full.

Dong Xuebing smiled and took off the jade pendant necklace from his neck. “This is our first meeting, and I did not prepare anything. This pendant necklace is a gift from me. Just treat this as a red packet.”

Youyou thought nothing about it until she saw the pendant. “Wow! It’s beautiful!”

Wu Er immediately pushed the necklace back to Dong Xuebing. “Xiao Dong, what are you doing? Take it back.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “Uncle Wu, it’s New Year. This is a gift for her.”

“Sigh… this necklace should be an ice-grade jade pendant. With the craftsmanship, it should be worth at least 100,000 RMB. It’s too valuable.”

“You are not treating me as a friend if you all don’t accept it. We will go back now.”

“You…. Sigh…. You are too polite. Alright. Youyou, hurry and thank Brother Dong.”

“Thank you, Brother Dong.” Youyou examined the pendant for a while and wore it.

Xie Hao praised. “It’s beautiful.”

Everyone nodded. The pendant looked better around Youyou’s neck than Dong Xuebing.

After dinner.

Everyone was full.

Wu Er suggested going swimming before it turns dark.

Everyone agreed and went into the mansion to change.

Xie Jing was walking behind, and Sun Kai pulled her aside. “Jingjing, they were talking about the jade pendant necklace worth 100,000. Are they talking about Taiwan dollars?”

Xie Jing slapped her forehead. “No wonder you seemed to be deep in thought. How can it be in Taiwan dollars? That is an Ice-grade crystal Jade pendant. It’s 100,000 RMB.”

Sun Kai was speechless and sighed. “Your family members are…. Giving out something worth 100,000 RMB as a red packet…. All the red packets I collected since birth are less than 20,000 RMB.”

Xie Jing laughed. “My Brother-in-law is from Beijing and is concerned about how others see him.”

“I can tell.”

“Let’s go and change.”

Sun Kai was numbed after knowing and seeing how Dong Xuebing spent his money today.
