Chapter 345 Gifts from Family

If Ai Liang calls to confide in someone, she might not be able to confirm whether they are available at the time, so in order not to disturb them, she might first confide in someone close to her.

'But... given Ai Liang's personality, she shouldn't have found such a close friend in such a short time.'

Yue Qihua tried hard not to let her mind wander, but Ye Qing, this "online friend," still flashed through her mind.

She shook her head vigorously to comfort herself: "Don't overthink it. Online friends and friends are different. After all, we've never met in person. Even if we've known each other for years, it's impossible to become best friends who can talk about anything the moment we meet!"

Besides, the two might not even be in the same class. Even if they are, the other person is a girl. Ai Liang has always been very careful about the boundaries in their relationships, and it's impossible for her to risk causing a scandal by talking to the other person.

If you're not at school, there's even less chance; you'll mostly be making phone calls, and the chances of finding someone in the know like yourself or Xingyue are much higher.

It's impossible that some online friend just happened to know Ai Liang's family situation, that they just happened to be classmates, both day students, and lived very close by, right?

As Yue Qihua pondered, she gradually calmed down and began to nod frequently.

The possibility of simultaneously meeting all these conditions is extremely low.
The advantage is mine!

………………

Ai Liang put away her phone and turned her gaze to the wooden box.

He slowly opened the wooden box and took out a jewelry box about half the size of his palm.

Upon opening the jewelry box, a gold coin came into view.

The gold coin is about five centimeters in diameter. It doesn't look very big to the naked eye, but it feels heavy in your hand.

It felt like having a weight in my hand.

Ai Liang saw Ai Zhe playing with these gold coins when she was a child.

The gold used to make these coins is extracted from electronic waste by Acer's company.

Aizhe himself also has one, but it's a bit smaller than this one.

The one in Ai Liang's hand is similar to the one in Ai Zhe's hand, with patterns printed on the back and the character "Ai" engraved on the front.

The gold coin in his hand is estimated to weigh close to 500 grams.

Based solely on its weight, and considering the recent gold price in Qianhua City, it could fetch at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.

Ai Zhe sent this gold coin to Ai Liang as a birthday gift, still hoping that Ai Liang would pursue a career in scientific research in the future.

Because Aizhe himself is a research fanatic, he has always regarded Ai Liang as a genius since childhood and has always hoped that Ai Liang could become a scientist who will be remembered in history.

Although Ai Zhe knew that with Feng Yue around, the possibility was slim, he still couldn't help but think about it.

Only Ai Liang knew very well that she was not a genius.

A child can speak at a few months old because he was already able to speak; he can write because he was already able to write.

He was merely an infant who possessed the knowledge accumulated by a young man over twenty years.

Ai Liang doesn't need to slowly develop her understanding of the world like a baby.

It's like creating a new alt account that inherits the equipment from the main account.

This doesn't mean that inheriting the high-level equipment means he can challenge the top players on the server.

Those amazing gear items for beginners will eventually become obsolete as they level up.

Even if an ordinary person were to reincarnate for hundreds of years, they could never compare to true geniuses like Einstein or Tesla.

Once Ai Liang has finished demonstrating what he learned in his previous life, everyone will realize that the so-called genius is just an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, before Ai Liang could finish showing off his items, he suddenly awakened his superpowers.

With his extraordinary abilities, the halo of genius was transformed from an illusion into reality, firmly attached to him.

This wonderful misunderstanding has persisted to this day.

If the research projects of Aizhe Company are related to biology, Ai Liang might take a look at them more or less, and then use his superpowers to apply the theoretical results to himself.

As for refining precious metals...

He wasn't interested in the tedious scientific research.

Ai Liang glanced at the gold coins for a moment.

Then I casually tossed it into the drawer of the computer desk in the living room.

Compared to this gold coin, which has undergone many refining processes and is quite valuable.

Ai Liang valued the scarf, gloves, keyboard, mouse, and facial cleanser contained in the cardboard gift box even more.

Just as I was tidying up the birthday gifts on the table, a familiar yet unfamiliar number called.

"Hey?"

Ai Liang answered the phone but didn't say much.

Apart from the faint sound of breathing, no other sound could be heard from the phone's earpiece.

"I still need to pack my things. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

Ai Liang didn't want to waste any more time with her, so after a brief five-second silence, he decided to hang up the phone.

"……Happy birthday."

Feng Yue spoke up.

Ai Liang replied politely, "Thank you. Is there anything else?"

Feng Yue tried her best to keep her tone calm: "You'll be an adult after today. I remember you like to travel, so I bought you a motorhome in Qianhua City. You can pick it up at the store when you have time."

"How much?" Ai Liang asked.

"I asked a friend to buy it for me, but I'm not sure about the exact price. You go ahead and buy it..."

"What model of car?" Ai Liang asked again.

This time, his tone was much colder.

"...VE2045 latest model."

Feng Yue's tone was somewhat helpless.

Ai Liang said politely, "I understand. I'll transfer the money to your card later."

Finally, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

After a while, Feng Yue asked, "Did you receive the gift that Ai Zhe sent?"

Feng Yue's tone was stiff, like a parent communicating with a rebellious child.

"Received it, it's a gold coin."

Faced with Feng Yue's attempt to make conversation, Ai Liang didn't want to waste any more time on her.

Perhaps sensing Ai Liang's impatience, Feng Yue gave a few brief instructions and then hung up the phone, citing work to do. Before hanging up, she told him the location to pick up the car.

The first thing Ai Liang did after ending the call was to use her phone to search for the price of that RV.

"Between two million six hundred thousand and two million eight hundred thousand?"

Looking at the information displayed on her phone, Ai Liang couldn't help but chuckle: "You really haven't changed at all over the years."

Although Ai Zhe is quite wealthy, his financial resources are clearly no match for Feng Yue, a true rich woman.

Based on the tradition of receiving birthday gifts over the years.

The gifts Feng Yue gave were always at least ten times more expensive than the gifts Ai Zhe gave.

I have no idea what these two are arguing about.

What should have been a birthday gift was turned into a battleground of tit-for-tat.

Compared to the parents, Ai Liang's grandfather's birthday gift was very simple and lacked any special features.

He transferred five million yuan of pocket money directly to Ai Liang's bank card.

In the past, the amount was increased by 100,000 for each year of age increase. So, at sixteen, it should have been 1.6 million.

Perhaps Feng Chengfu considered that sixteen was the day Ai Liang came of age, so he gave her more.
