Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

When Wang Kang and his neighbors who were playing chess saw the Rolls-Royces and Land Rovers parked in front of them, they were stunned. No one expected that this fleet of luxury cars belonged to their building.

"Old Wang, do we have any wealthy relatives like that in our building?" A neighbor turned to Wang Kang beside him, looking somewhat bewildered, and asked.

Everyone knows that buildings in Northeast China are not like those in the South, where a single building can be twenty or thirty stories high. They are generally shorter buildings. In the Lisheng Shoufu residential complex where they live, the buildings are mostly seven or eight stories high. The only difference is that they are divided into several units.

There are only two households on each floor of their building, totaling about ten households. Wang Kang doesn't know them all, but he has a general idea of ​​each household's situation.

Coming to his senses, Wang Kang shook his head and said blankly, "How could that be? We don't have any wealthy relatives like that in this building!"

"Old Li's son works on the coast, Old Zhang and his wife are both ordinary workers, Little Liu on the third floor just graduated less than two years ago, and you all know about Old Lin's situation..."

"Could it be... that this luxury convoy is here for the first time and parked in the wrong place?"

However, their building is located in the very middle, with children's play areas and badminton courts on both sides, and it is far away from other buildings. The only possibility is that they got the unit number wrong.

Just then, several bodyguards in white shirts got out of the Land Rover, walked quickly to the three Rolls-Royces in front, bowed slightly, and respectfully opened the car doors. Their synchronized movements were as if they had rehearsed countless times.

Wang Kang and his group were positioned right next to the second Rolls-Royce. When they saw the car door open and the person getting out, their eyes widened in disbelief, and their jaws nearly dropped to the ground.

"This...this looks just like that girl from the Lin family!" The neighbor who was playing chess rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief in a low voice.

"That girl from the Lin family? Really? Wasn't it said that her boyfriend was dirt poor?"

"Penniless? If we were that poor, we would have starved to death long ago?"

The group whispered amongst themselves.

"Gulp!" Wang Kang nervously swallowed. He recognized the person who got out of the Rolls-Royce; the figure looked very similar to the one in his memory. He tentatively called out, "Little Fish?"

Lin Xiaoyu smiled slightly and nodded to Wang Kang and the others, saying, "Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, it's been a long time!"

Wang Kangqiang suppressed his shock and nodded with a smile. Then he noticed the young man standing next to Lin Xiaoyu and immediately changed the subject, asking, "Is this the boyfriend you went to Chongqing to find?"

"Ah~ Uncle Wang, you even know this?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xiaoyu's face, but she didn't think much of it. She pulled Su Yan over, took his arm, and introduced him sweetly, "Uncle Wang, this is my boyfriend, Su Yan!"

"Hello, Uncle Wang and all the other uncles!" Su Yan greeted them with a smile, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed out two to each of them.

Wang Kang chuckled as he took the cigarette, then looked Su Yan up and down. The young man was tall and handsome, with a well-tailored blue shirt that accentuated his extraordinary demeanor, though his skin was a little dark.

Just then, Su Chen, who was sitting in the Rolls-Royce Phantom, got out of the car. Upon seeing this, Su Yan and his wife apologized to Wang Kang and the others, and then quickly walked over.

"Old Wang, is this the poor boyfriend that the Lin family's daughter found?" The neighbor gave Wang Kang a disapproving look, then waved the cigarette in his hand with a mysterious expression. "Do you know what kind of cigarettes that young man was handing out to us just now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Kang and the others quickly picked up their cigarettes and examined them, but couldn't discern anything wrong with them. They all looked at their neighbor with suspicion.

The neighbor raised his head smugly, "A limited edition pack of Liqun Fuchun Mountain Residence cigarettes costs 20,000 yuan a carton. These two cigarettes we have are worth 200 yuan each!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. Two cigarettes cost two hundred yuan—what kind of family could afford such a expense?

"Good heavens! We were just saying that the Lin family's daughter was obsessed with love and had found a poor guy. Now it seems we were blind to her true worth!" Wang Kang clicked his tongue, shook his head with a wry smile.

As for the two cigarettes in his hand, he carefully put them into the cigarette case. Such top-quality cigarettes must be enjoyed in private.

……

"Big Brother!" Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu approached and greeted Su Chen with smiles.

Su Chen nodded slightly, glanced around, and noticed that the crowd was growing. He immediately instructed, "Afei, take two people to get the four-color gifts. The rest of you, find a place to park the car, have a meal, and call us if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately walked towards Bai Xiangwen and the bodyguards, quickly relaying Su Chen's instructions.

Su Chen then turned his gaze to Lin Xiaoyu and said, "Let's go, if we stay any longer, we'll become like monkeys in a zoo!"

The group then walked into the apartment building. When the onlookers saw the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and candy that the bodyguards were carrying, they immediately gasped in surprise.

"My God, ten years' worth of thatch is being delivered by the box, and there are also ten cartons of Liqun Fuchun Mountain Residence liquor. These gifts alone must cost hundreds of thousands!"

"I knew that Lin's daughter was so smart and clever since she was little. How could she be the kind of person who would give up her job for her boyfriend? With the man's abilities, if it were me, I would also choose love without hesitation, just like Lin's daughter!"

"Who says otherwise? The Lin family is likely to rise to prominence in the future. It's a pity we're not familiar with them, otherwise we would have been willing to swallow our pride and make an appearance to see if we could get to know them."

What was said casually was taken seriously. The neighbor who was playing chess immediately leaned over to Wang Kang and whispered, "Old Wang, I remember this morning, Old Lin specially invited you to his house for a drink. Why don't you go and have a drink?"

Wang Kang was indeed somewhat tempted, but when he saw the bodyguards carrying the four-colored gifts, that thought vanished instantly.

Someone who can have bodyguards with them at all times is probably not an ordinary person. Why should an outsider like myself get involved?

Moreover, he had just taken a serious look and found that the person in charge was the young man who got out of the first Rolls-Royce last and was called "Big Brother" by Su Yan and Lin Xiaoyu. His every move exuded authority, and he was clearly someone who had been in a position of power for a long time.

Wang Kang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Let's forget it. Old Lin's family has some important guests today, so let's not go and join in the fun!"

The neighbors all nodded knowingly, after all, it would be quite abrupt for ordinary neighbors like them to approach someone of such wealth.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoyu had already led Su Yan and Su Chen upstairs.

As soon as I reached the door, I noticed it was ajar and not closed. I could hear my parents talking coming from the kitchen…

"Old Lin, why hasn't Xiaoyu come back yet? It's already past five o'clock. Did something happen to her on the way and delay her?" Lin's mother's voice was full of longing and worry for her daughter.

"She's not a child, what could possibly happen to her? Besides, isn't that girl accompanied by a wild boar?" Lin's father scoffed and replied irritably.

Upon hearing the word "wild boar," Lin's mother burst out laughing, and even Lin Xiaoyu and Su Chen outside the door looked at Su Yan with meaningful expressions.

Su Yan shrugged, his face full of innocence. How did he suddenly become the "wild boar"? Was it because he had "eaten" Lin Xiaoyu, this "cabbage"?

"Hmph~ I wonder who it was that was so angry before, but as soon as they heard their daughter was bringing her boyfriend home, they rushed off to the market to buy groceries, even claiming the vegetables weren't fresh that afternoon. I think you're all bark and no bite!" Lin's mother's voice rang out again. Hearing this, Lin's father immediately became displeased, retorting, "I was only doing it for Xiaoyu's own good! Think about it, what if she, a young girl, gets scammed going all the way to Chongqing!"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!" Lin's mother shook her head helplessly, her expression turning serious. "Old Lin, when Xiaoyu brings her boyfriend back later, don't wear that sour face. Since Xiaoyu has chosen that young man, we have to trust our daughter's judgment!"

This time, Mr. Lin did not respond immediately. Instead, he remained silent for three to five seconds before letting out a long sigh and saying, "I understand!"

The chatter in the kitchen stopped, replaced by the clattering and popping sounds of cooking.

Lin Xiaoyu knew it was time to go inside. She tightened her grip on Su Yan's hand, immediately opened the door, and shouted loudly into the house, "Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

A crisp sound echoed in the house, and the sizzling of cooking in the kitchen came to an abrupt halt!

"Clang" —

The spatula in Lin's father's hand fell onto the stove. He turned around abruptly and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen without even taking off his apron. Lin's mother also hurriedly wiped her hands and followed him out. The two of them stopped in the hallway and their eyes fell on the group of people at the door.

When Lin's father saw Su Yan, dressed in a blue shirt, standing next to his daughter, and Su Chen, exuding an imposing aura behind them, his pupils constricted sharply. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is nothing like the poor my daughter claimed to be!"

The young man exuded an aura that Lin's father had never seen in any of his superiors at work, not even those in the city.

"Little Fish~ My dear daughter, Mom missed you so much!" Lin's mother rushed forward excitedly and hugged Lin Xiaoyu tightly. Her eyes instantly reddened. She looked her daughter up and down and said with heartache, "You've lost weight and gotten so dark. You must have had a hard time over there!"

As a teacher, Wang Aifang naturally knows what the environment is like in the border areas, especially for those like Lin Xiaoyu who are teaching in remote areas, where living conditions are naturally much worse.

Lin Xiaoyu nuzzled against her mother affectionately, saying, "Mom, I have a really great figure. I can climb seven floors in one go without even breaking a sweat!"

"Yes, yes, my precious daughter is amazing!" Lin's mother reached out her left hand and gently stroked Lin Xiaoyu's nose, her eyes full of doting affection.

At this moment, Su Yan stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Hello, uncles and aunts, I am Su Yan, Xiaoyu's boyfriend, and this is my older brother Su Chen!"

Su Chen nodded slightly, his voice steady: "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I apologize for disturbing you!"

Lin's father took a deep breath, calmed his wandering thoughts, and said, "Come inside and sit down, don't stand at the door!"

After Su Chen and the other two walked in, Lin's father noticed that there were several young men in white shirts standing outside the door, who looked like bodyguards. Each of them was carrying an exquisite gift box. His gaze was fixed on the boxes of thatch and Fuchun Mountain Residence cigarettes, which made his temples throb.

No matter what, Lin Guoqing had been in the company for so many years, and he had a good eye for things. He could tell at a glance that these things were not simple.

"Little Fish, what... what are these things?" Although Lin's father already knew the answer in his heart, he still asked with concern. After all, these things added up to several hundred thousand yuan. What boyfriend would bring such an extravagant four-color gift to someone's door!

"Dad~ This is the four-color gift prepared by Brother Shitou, and there are also some gifts he prepared for you!" Lin Xiaoyu explained with a smile, hugging her mother's arm.

Su Yan gave Chen Fei, who was standing at the door, a look. Chen Fei immediately brought in several bodyguards and carried the things in, making the originally spacious living room feel a bit crowded.

"Uncle, Aunt, I didn't know what you liked, so I took the liberty of buying some small gifts. I hope you like them!" Su Yan walked into the pile of gifts, picked out four beautifully wrapped gift boxes, and handed the gifts to Mr. and Mrs. Lin respectively.

"Ah~ this..." Lin's father and mother looked at the heavy gift in their hands and didn't know what to say for a moment. It all felt like a dream.

They had already mentally prepared themselves for their daughter to find a penniless boyfriend, but who would have thought the situation would turn around so quickly? The four-color betrothal gift alone cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, so the gifts prepared for them must also be quite valuable.

Lin Xiaoyu noticed her parents' hesitation and immediately advised, "Dad, Mom, please accept it. It's a token of Brother Shi's goodwill!"

Mr. and Mrs. Lin exchanged a glance and nodded, saying, "Alright, we'll accept the gift. Thank you for spending the money, Xiaoyan!"

Just then, the bedroom door opened, and a cry of surprise rang out, "Holy crap, Dad, Mom, look downstairs! There are several Rolls-Royces and Land Rovers!"

Upon hearing this, Lin's father glanced thoughtfully at Su Chen, already having his answer.

A figure darted out, but when he saw the situation in the living room, Lin Xiaojia froze in place. Why were so many people suddenly in the house?

But he quickly spotted his older sister, Lin Xiaoyu, in the crowd and immediately realized that his older sister had brought her boyfriend home!

Lin Xiaojia's eyes widened as her gaze swept back and forth between Su Yan and Su Chen, finally settling on her older sister's arm linked with Su Yan's. She glided over to the two of them and greeted them with a fawning expression, "Hello, brother-in-law!"

Even Su Chen couldn't help but smile at this, let alone Su Yan, the person involved.

Lin's father clicked his tongue, wanting to teach Lin Xiaojia a lesson, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Coming to his senses, Su Yan laughed heartily and handed over a gift box. "You must be Xiao Jia. I often hear your sister mention you. Here, this is a gift for you!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Lin Xiaojia excitedly took the things. He had also noticed the four-color gifts piled on the ground. He didn't know if they were expensive or not, but he knew that someone who could bring several boxes of thatch at once must be rich.

Carefully opening the gift box, Lin Xiaojia jumped up excitedly upon seeing what was inside, waving her hands in the air several times and shouting, "PS5 family pack! Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"

"I'm glad you like it!" Su Yan's face was naturally full of smiles. "By the way, where's your sister Xiaoyu? I haven't seen her."

Lin Xiaojia was engrossed in her PS5 and replied without looking up when asked, "Xiaoyu should be in her bedroom doing her homework with headphones on, otherwise she would have come out long ago!"

"Okay~ This is a gift for Xiaoyu, take it in and give it to her!" Su Yan didn't call Lin Xiaoyu out, and handed the gift box directly to Lin Xiaojia.

"Brother-in-law, you should give it to her yourself. I'll go and call her out for you!" After saying that, Lin Xiaojia rushed into a closed bedroom and soon came out with a somewhat bewildered Lin Xiaoyu.

It's said that people who aren't family don't enter the same door. Lin Xiaoyu's reaction was exactly the same as Lin Xiaojia's. Upon seeing Lin Xiaoyu and Su Yan, she immediately called them "sister" and "brother-in-law," which was much more affectionate than Lin Xiaojia's reaction before.

Su Yan handed the gift box to Lin Xiaoyu, which inevitably caused another round of surprised cheers.

"Alright, Xiao Jia, Xiao Yu, you two go back inside and tidy up!" Lin's father said at this moment.

Lin Xiaojia and Lin Xiaoyu knew that the occasion was not suitable for them, so they greeted Su Chen and Su Yan and returned to their respective rooms.

Seeing the two mischievous boys enter the bedroom, Lin's father smiled and invited Su Chen and Su Yan to sit down, and even took out his best tea leaves to brew.

Lin Xiaoyu, holding her mother's hand, sat down in a corner of the sofa, quietly talking about her life in Chongqing, her eyes filled with sweetness as she glanced at Su Yan every now and then. (End of Chapter)
