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

About half an hour later, the black Audi A6 slowly drove into the underground parking lot of SKP in Seoul.

The father and daughter got out of the car and took the elevator straight to the mall lobby.

As soon as she entered, Li Mengli's eyes widened at the sight of the opulent decor and the dazzling array of luxury goods.

Although she studied hotel management, she had some knowledge of these high-end brands.

But usually he only dares to look from the doorway and rarely actually comes in to browse.

"Dad, are we really going to buy a gift at SKP?"

Li Mengli tugged at Li Ze's sleeve and whispered:

"This is the most luxurious shopping mall in Han City. I heard that even a pair of socks costs several hundred yuan here."

"Isn't it a bit too much to give my aunt and uncle such expensive things?"

Li Ze smiled, patted his daughter's hand, and said calmly:

"Girl, you don't understand."

"That's precisely why we come here to buy."

"Think about it, your aunts, especially your third aunt, are usually very picky."

"If we just buy some fruit and milk from a roadside stall and take it home, they'll definitely talk behind my back about how stingy I am and how badly I'm doing."

"If we want to shut them up, we have to use drastic measures. We need something that can put them in their place and keep them firmly under control."

Li Mengli was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up:

"Dad, what's this tactic called? A money offensive?"

"You've really gone to great lengths for my mom!"

Li Ze shook his head, his tone softening slightly:

"It wasn't entirely out of consideration for them."

"Mainly, the things here are befitting of your mother's current status."

"Your mother has worked so hard for so many years, and now that things are finally getting better, I have to make up for all the good things I owed her in the past, little by little."

Hearing this, Li Mengli was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she clung to Li Ze's arm affectionately.

"Dad, you're so good to Mom! I'm so envious of her!"

Li Ze laughed and led his daughter inside.

On his way to the escalator, Li Ze took out his phone and seemingly casually sent a message.

The recipient was Lao Yi.

The content is very simple:

Go check the license plate of that Porsche 718, and who the man in the red leather jacket was driving.

[Also, send someone to keep an eye on her and see what Dai Yuqian is up to today.]

Please report to me immediately if any issues arise.

The first person replied instantly with "Received".

Li Ze put away his phone, his expression unchanged.

Although his daughter explained that she was going to improve relations with the student council while they were by the car, he nodded and brushed it off.

But Li Ze has been in the workforce for so many years, what kind of situation hasn't he seen?

Dai Yuqian is indeed quite good-looking. Although she can't be described as stunningly beautiful, she's the type that would turn heads if you walked down the street.

The fact that my son found a girlfriend like this shows he has good taste.

However, on New Year's Eve, a young and beautiful girl got into another man's sports car behind her boyfriend's back.

Moreover, the way that man looked at her clearly carried that kind of aggressiveness that all men understand.

How could it be as simple as just maintaining good working relationships?

Anyone with eyes could see that the man had ulterior motives towards Dai Yuqian.

Li Ze is a protective person.

He doesn't mind suffering some injustice himself, but he will never allow anyone to cheat on his son.

That is absolutely impossible.

Of course, if it turns out there's nothing wrong in the end, then you were just overthinking it, and everyone's happy.

But if there really is something fishy going on...

Li Ze narrowed his eyes and sneered inwardly.

……

Once inside the mall on the first floor, Li Ze and his daughter began selecting gifts.

"Daughter, you spend a lot of time with your aunts."

"Could you give them some advice? What do they usually like to do?"

Li Mengli thought for a moment, scratched her head, and said:

"My eldest and second aunts are alright; they're quite down-to-earth."

"But I do know my third aunt."

"She's very concerned about her image and loves designer clothes and bags."

"If you were willing to buy her a Chanel or Balenciaga item, or even just a scarf, she would probably jump for joy."

At this point, Li Mengli pouted, looking unwilling:

"But Dad, I really don't like this third aunt."

"She has such a sharp tongue; she's always bullying my mom because she's honest."

"Buying her such expensive things is a complete waste of money, like throwing meat buns to a dog."

Li Ze, upon hearing this, was not angry. Instead, he patiently began to teach his daughter:

"Mengli, you need to have a longer-term perspective."

"I may dislike her, but she is still your aunt, and she's our relative."

"And so far, although she speaks harshly, she hasn't done anything particularly heinous."

"She advised your mother to ignore me. From her perspective, it was actually for your mother's sake, because she was afraid your mother would get hurt again."

"So let's not be too petty until we do something particularly outrageous."

We should have the magnanimity to tolerate others.

"How about this?"

Li Ze pointed to the shop in front:

"I'll take you to Chanel on the second floor later to pick out a dress for your third aunt."

"As for my eldest aunt and second aunt, they are a bit older, so let's go to that jade shop and pick out a jade bracelet for each of them."

"This thing makes you look expensive and it holds its value."

Li Mengli thought about it and felt that her father made sense, so she nodded:

"Okay, whatever you say."

Soon, the father and daughter picked out a pair of jade bracelets of very good quality in the jade shop on the first floor.

Li Ze didn't even blink and swiped his card to pay. The total was 100,000 yuan, with each item costing 50,000 yuan.

Then, she took her daughter to the Chanel counter on the second floor.

With the enthusiastic recommendation of the sales assistant, I picked out a new seasonal coat, the style of which suited my aunt's flamboyant personality perfectly.

These gifts were arranged in less than twenty minutes.

Li Ze didn't rush to leave, but instead took his daughter to a young and fashionable women's clothing store.

"Here, these were all bought for other people."

"Now it's your turn."

"Go pick out a few clothes you like; it's Chinese New Year, you should wear new clothes."

Looking at the prices on the tags, Li Mengli hesitated to make a purchase.

A down jacket here costs tens of thousands of yuan, enough for her to buy ten or so outfits and wear them for several years.

"Dad, this is way too expensive..."

"Let's go to another place."

Li Ze took out his phone, opened the bank app, and showed his daughter the balance information.

"Did you see that clearly?"

"This is your dad's allowance account."

Li Mengli counted the long string of zeros until she felt dizzy.

Tens or more...

She took a deep breath, and her worries vanished instantly.

"Alright! Then I won't be polite!"

Soon, Li Mengli picked out a white mid-length down jacket for herself.

Wearing it makes one look even more innocent and lovely, like a little snow sprite.

"Dad, is it pretty?"

Li Mengli twirled in front of the mirror.

Li Ze looked at his daughter, his eyes somewhat dazed.

It was as if I could see Zhang Ruoran from eighteen years ago, dressed in white, smiling at me on campus.

"nice."

Li Ze nodded and sincerely praised:

"As expected of my daughter, she's so beautiful."

"You look exactly like your mother when she was young."

After buying clothes for my daughter, the main event began.

That was a gift for Zhang Ruoran.

This time, Li Ze did not intend to ask his daughter's opinion.

Although he hadn't seen Zhang Ruoran for eighteen years, he believed he still knew his wife's preferences very well.

If she weren't the kind of person who liked gold and silver jewelry, she would value the sentiment more.

Li Ze took out a black bank card from his pocket and handed it to Li Mengli.

"Daughter, take this card."

"There is a quota of one billion."

"Go to the mall and wander around, buy whatever you want, don't worry about saving money for Dad."

Li Mengli took the card, her hands trembling.

"Ten...ten billion?!"

"Dad, isn't that a bit much? You want me to take a billion dollars shopping?"

Li Ze smiled:

"Here you go, the password is your mom's birthday."

"Go play by yourself for a while, Dad has some things to do."

"We'll meet in the parking lot in about an hour."

Although Li Mengli didn't know what her father was going to do, she still obediently nodded:

"Okay, thanks, Dad!"

"I'm going to look at bags!"

After saying that, the girl hugged the priceless card and skipped away.

After his daughter left, Li Ze stopped smiling and straightened his collar.

He went to the third floor of the mall alone.

In an inconspicuous corner, there is a shop that specializes in handmade wood carvings and jade carvings.

Materials and tools are provided here so guests can make gifts themselves.

Li Ze pushed open the door and went inside.

He wanted to be here to personally make a gift for Zhang Ruoran that was eighteen years overdue.

A gift that only the two of them would understand.
