Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

At 10:30 a.m., the Audi made a turn.

It came to a steady stop at the entrance of a seafood market next to the Pinganli community.

This place is just a few steps away from the home of Li Menghan's girlfriend, Dai Yuqian; you could practically say it's next door.

As soon as they opened the car door, a gust of cold wind rushed in, making the father and daughter shiver involuntarily.

Li Ze quickly buttoned up his coat and led his daughter into the market.

Although it was the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, the seafood market was packed with people, almost shoulder to shoulder.

Everyone was rushing to buy the main dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner at this last minute.

As soon as you enter the greenhouse, a strong fishy smell mixed with the saltiness of the sea hits you.

Li Ze frowned slightly.

He lived abroad for eighteen years and usually frequented clean, upscale supermarkets.

Alternatively, you can have the housekeeper deliver the prepared ingredients to the kitchen.

He hadn't been to a place like this, full of life, with even some puddles and fish scales on the ground, in a long time.

The smell made his nose itch a little.

However, he glanced at Li Mengli beside him.

This girl seemed to know her way around well, showing no sign of disdain, clearly indicating she often shopped at places like this.

Seeing his daughter's down-to-earth demeanor, Li Ze felt both gratified and a little sad.

I must ensure my daughter lives a life where she doesn't have to worry about a few dollars for groceries anymore.

"Dad, over here!"

Li Mengli pulled on Li Ze's sleeve, squeezed through the crowd, and arrived at a stall with a sign that read "Fresh and Lively Seafood".

This water tank is quite large, and it's filled with oxygen, causing the water to churn.

Li Ze leaned closer to take a look.

It's really good.

The abalone were stuck to the glass wall; they were quite large and looked plump.

The Boston lobsters and baby lobsters in the pool next to it were also very lively, with their claws outstretched.

"Boss, give me two pounds of abalone, the big ones."

Li Ze pointed to the water tank, then to the small green dragon next to it:

"And give me ten of these little green dragons too."

Since this is the first family reunion dinner after eighteen years, we should eat well.

If we only buy a few, how can that be enough for a family to share?

We must make sure everyone is satisfied with their meal.

After buying all of these, Li Ze still felt it wasn't enough.

He then led his daughter to the other end of the market.

Just as I turned the corner, I heard the vendors ahead shouting loudly:

"Come on, come on! Take a look!"

"King crabs just air-freighted from Russia! Every single one of them is incredibly plump!"

"Eating this during Chinese New Year will make you look good! Only 1299 per piece!"

Li Ze's eyes lit up, and he pulled his daughter over.

In the large pool, several enormous king crabs were lying, their long legs looking quite impressive.

Upon hearing the price, Li Mengli's mouth gaped open in surprise, and she tugged at Li Ze's sleeve, whispering:

"Dad, isn't this too expensive?"

"One costs 1300? That's enough for me to eat at the school cafeteria for a month."

"Let's not buy any more. The lobsters we just had were already very good."

Upon hearing this, Li Ze waved his hand dismissively and said with a smile:

"Silly girl, it's Chinese New Year, so you should eat something good."

"What's 1,300? If you love to eat it, even 13,000 would be worth it."

After saying that, Li Ze pointed directly to the biggest and most ferocious one in the pool and said to the boss:

"Boss, this one, scoop it out and wrap it up for me."

"Great! The boss is so generous!" The vendor was overjoyed and quickly started scooping up crabs.

After buying the king crab, Li Ze asked his daughter:

"What else do you want? Take your pick."

Seeing her father's generosity, Li Mengli stopped worrying about the money.

Her eyes darted around, and she pointed to a type of dark white shrimp next to her, saying:

"Dad, those New Zealand langoustines look really good. I saw them online, and they say you can eat them raw; they're sweet."

Li Ze didn't even glance at the price, and simply waved his hand dismissively:

"purchase!"

"Boss, two pounds, please!"

Watching her father pontificate and spend money like water, Li Mengli felt incredibly pleased.

She hugged Li Ze's arm, nuzzled her head against it, and said sweetly:

"Dad, you're so wonderful!"

"I am simply the happiest daughter in the world!"

Hearing this, Li Ze felt incredibly warm inside, even more so than if he had drunk two ounces of liquor.

Knew it.

Spending money on your own daughter, seeing her happy smile, and hearing her say, "Dad, you're so wonderful!"

This feeling is a million times better than any socialite's sweet words.

……

Just as the father and daughter were having a great time shopping.

In an old residential building in Pinganli Community, a few hundred meters away.

Dai Yuqian had just finished her makeup and changed into a carefully chosen white down jacket.

My phone vibrated; it was a WeChat message from Song Hao:

[Sisi, I've arrived. I'm downstairs at your place.]

Dai Yuqian glanced at her phone and took a deep breath.

She stepped out of the room and called out to her mother, who was busy in the kitchen:

"Mom, some of my classmates have invited me out, so I won't be eating lunch at home."

"I'll be back for New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

Dai's mother responded from the kitchen:

"Okay, go ahead, it's good for young people to go out and have fun. Remember to come back early, don't keep your dad waiting for dinner."

"knew!"

Dai Yuqian changed her shoes and went downstairs.

As she stepped out of the building, she felt a little nervous and glanced around nervously.

They were afraid of running into some acquaintance, or Li Menghan, who was unlikely to be here at all.

That one glance was enough to freeze her gaze.

Just a few meters from the entrance of the building, a black luxury car was parked on the roadside.

That's a Porsche 718.

The streamlined body gleamed in the winter sun.

Compared to the ordinary family cars or dilapidated bread trucks parked around it.

It was as if a phoenix had landed in a chicken coop, appearing so unique and noble.

The slight guilt and remorse I felt earlier vanished the moment I saw this luxury car.

Then I was overwhelmed by a strong sense of excitement.

Is this the life of the rich?

Even just sitting in it and experiencing it would be worth it, right?

Dai Yuqian tidied her hair and walked over quickly.

The driver's side door of the Porsche opened, and a young man got out.

It was Song Hao.

He was wearing a red leather jacket today, his hair was slicked back and shiny, and he was wearing an earring.

This outfit definitely looks very trendy, giving off that rich kid vibe.

Dai Yuqian subconsciously compared him to Li Menghan in her mind.

Li Menghan seems to wear the same few black clothes all year round, either hoodies or sportswear.

Compared to Song Hao in front of him, it was as if one was dirt on the ground and the other was a cloud in the sky.

Of course, as soon as the thought popped into her head, Dai Yuqian quickly dismissed it.

"You can't compare us like that. Menghan is very good to me. I just... just came out to get along with the student council members."

Upon seeing Dai Yuqian, Song Hao greeted her with a warm smile:

"Sissi, you look beautiful today."

"Hurry up and get in the car, the committee members have all arrived and are gathered at Yishan Golf Course."

As he spoke, Song Hao naturally reached out and took Dai Yuqian's hand.

He was about to lead her to the passenger seat and even chivalrously prepared to open the car door for her.

Dai Yuqian's heart skipped a beat when her hand was enveloped by that warm palm.

She recoiled as if burned, quickly pulling her hand back.

Regardless, she still has a boyfriend.

Although I agreed to go out and have fun, holding hands like this is still a bit too much; it's crossing the line.

Song Hao's hand grasped at empty air, but he was neither angry nor embarrassed.

He simply smiled, opened the car door, and gestured for the door to open.

"Get in the car, my little princess."

The word "little princess" made Dai Yuqian feel a sweet, ticklish sensation in her heart.

Blushing, she lowered her head and climbed into the luxury car that many girls dream of.

……

At the same time.

At the entrance of the seafood market.

Li Ze's hands were full of bags, filled with king crab, lobster, and abalone, all heavy with food.

Li Mengli was also carrying two beautifully packaged seafood gift boxes.

The father and daughter walked out of the market happily and headed towards the parking area.

"Dad, this king crab is so big, will our pot be big enough to steam it?"

"If it can't be steamed, just chop it up and stir-fry it. It'll taste good no matter how you cook it."

As they talked, they arrived at the rear of the black Audi A6.

Li Ze put his things on the ground, took out his car keys, and opened the trunk.

Just as he bent down to put the things inside.

Standing to the side, Li Mengli glanced to the side unintentionally.

Not far behind their car was the conspicuous black Porsche 718.

This car is so eye-catching that it's hard to miss, even at the entrance of this chaotic market.

Of course, Li Mengli wasn't attracted by the car.

After all, her father could summon a Maybach racing team at will, so this little sports car was nothing to her.

What truly caught her attention was the person who was about to get on the bus.

That figure in the white down jacket looked so familiar.

Li Mengli squinted and took a closer look.

Just then, I saw the girl turn her head to the side and duck into the car.

That face...

Li Mengli's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

She put down what she was holding, tugged at Li Ze who was putting crabs in the pot, and said in a low voice:

"Dad, look over there."

"That girl... isn't she Dai Yuqian?"

Li Ze straightened up and looked in the direction his daughter was pointing.

Just then, I saw the passenger door of the Porsche close.

A young man in a red leather jacket was walking around the front of the car toward the driver's seat.

Li Mengli stared at the man in the leather jacket, her tone becoming somewhat strange:

"Who is that man?"

"He doesn't look like a good person; he's dressed like a peacock."

"Meng Han is still in her rural hometown, so how come Dai Yuqian is with another man?"

"And it was on the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, getting into someone else's sports car?"

A bad feeling rose in Li Mengli's heart.

Her eyes suddenly sharpened.

This is her brother's girlfriend!

If this woman dares to do anything behind Meng Han's back that would betray him...

"Dad, wait a minute, I'll go check on it!"

Without saying a word, Li Mengli strode towards the Porsche.
