Chapter 2275
Magic Shatters Vanity
Belts, wallets, tie clips, leather shoes...
Looking at the things He An bought, He Daqing's gloom deepened.
Regardless of the price of the items, most of what He An bought were gifts for He Yuzhu.
This made He Daqing feel a sense of frustration.
Why is this granddaughter's behavior inconsistent?
When he first arrived in Hong Kong Island, he had Guo Shumiao bring He An out to meet him.
At that time, He An complained to He Daqing about all the faults of He Yuzhu.
Tell He Daqing to go back and teach her father a good lesson.
And that's how it ended...
If he had known, he wouldn't have even considered bringing his granddaughter back to Beijing.
"Grandpa, look at this briefcase, do you think my dad will like it?" He An said, linking arms with He Daqing, her smile charming and her tone sweet and innocent.
"I like it, I like it..." He Daqing said awkwardly.
The briefcase He An chose was a foreign brand, made of crocodile skin, with a metal plaque engraved with Louis Vuitton.
He Daqing didn't recognize the brand, but he knew the price of the item.
A full four thousand Hong Kong dollars.
The key point is that he was too embarrassed to say it was expensive, after all, he was the one who brought He An to this store.
He didn't know what was going on either.
However, at the ordinary counter downstairs, He An showed a somewhat dissatisfied expression.
He Daqing, feeling dizzy, led his granddaughter up to the luxury goods counter on the top floor.
He clearly intended to send his granddaughter back to Beijing to deal with He Yuzhu.
There was a strange feeling that He An was dealing with him on behalf of her father.
It can only be said that He Daqing's feeling was correct.
The disgusting things he did on Hong Kong Island.
Although He An wouldn't pay attention, Guo Shumiao would always find out.
She felt ashamed, as Ho Tai-ching's daughter in Hong Kong.
But He Daqing wouldn't listen to anything Lou Xiao'e said, so Guo Shumiao had even less to say.
This is similar to a handsome Hong Kong celebrity surnamed Xie who knew his father was swindling money outside but was powerless to do anything about it.
All he can do is desperately appear on TV shows, teach people how to cook, take on various endorsements, and then clean up his own father's mess.
Unfortunately, in terms of ethical values, the traditional ones are still more popular with the public in Hong Kong.
That is, the principle of not speaking ill of one's father.
Lou Xiao'e can run away, but Guo Shumiao can't.
Therefore, Guo Shumiao assigned the task of dealing with He Daqing to He An.
She knew one thing: despite He Daqing's current appearance as a nouveau riche, he actually didn't have much money left.
There's nothing else; everything that was supposed to be distributed to the children has already been distributed.
He Daqing currently has no more than HK$500,000 in retirement savings.
This amount of money is currently a huge sum, even in Hong Kong or mainland China.
In short, dating a few foreign women would definitely be enough.
Those foreign women may have ulterior motives.
They can approach He Daqing on their own initiative, but they absolutely cannot go out for meals and entertainment and expect to pay for it.
As long as we empty He Daqing's pockets.
All those delusions in his mind will disappear.
It's that simple.
"Are you happy today?" He Daqing looked at his granddaughter's arms, which were covered with bags and packages. Although he was a little flustered, he still grinned and asked her in a 'kind' manner.
"I'm so happy, Grandpa is so good to me."
"He treats me even better than my own father!" He An clung to He Daqing and said in a coquettish tone.
He Daqing was also smiling, but his heart was bleeding.
This granddaughter spends too much money.
In just one morning, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars were spent.
Tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars—if it were twenty years ago, he could have bought a house on Hong Kong Island. "What else do you want?" He Daqing said, then immediately wanted to slap himself.
"Hey!" He An suddenly stopped, pulled his arm away from He Daqing's, and slapped his own head hard, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
This action terrified He Daqing.
It seemed as if something bad was about to happen.
"Grandpa, my parents still don't have a matching watch."
···
And my second brother, he's almost an adult, and he'll be looking for a wife someday...
And then there's my older sister, she just had a baby, and I, as her aunt, need to give the child a gift...
"And the little bugs, Shouyi..." He An muttered to himself, his words filled with regret.
Completely ignoring He Daqing beside him, the corners of his mouth were trembling uncontrollably.
Liu Ting's scarf and He Yuzhu's few small accessories cost He Daqing more than 50,000 yuan.
If we follow He An's suggestion and buy everything...
Then He Daqing had to sell his family property.
Fortunately, He An knew when to stop.
This time, she was just listening to Aunt Shumiao's words, thinking that she wanted He Daqing to understand that the little money he had was enough to live a peaceful life.
But if you're thinking about indulging in debauchery, you'll attract all sorts of people.
That's far from enough.
So, while He An was talking to himself, he was actually keeping an eye on He Daqing's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the old man couldn't take it anymore, He An took He Daqing's arm and laughed, "Oh dear, that's too much, I don't want to think about it anymore."
If we really buy everything, I can't bear to spend Grandpa's money anymore.
He Daqing couldn't help but raise his other hand, take out a handkerchief, and wipe his forehead.
Despite her trembling cheek muscles, she still forced a smile at He An and said, "My An'an is such a good girl, everyone in the family remembers her."
He An shook He Daqing's arm, raised her long, swan-like neck, and said, "When I can earn money."
I will definitely buy them all.
I also want to buy a luxury car for my dad and my brother.
"Pingzhi, and the silver shadow of Ross Royce..."
The former is Benz, and the latter is the Cantonese transliteration of Rolls-Royce.
Good heavens, He Daqing immediately came to his senses and quickly pulled He An away from the mall.
Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, even if you chop up all his old bones and turn them into char siu buns, it still won't be enough to buy a Silver Shadow.
Those are top-tier luxury cars; besides being expensive, they also require a certain social status to match.
A car worth seven or eight hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.
This shopping trip with his granddaughter really hit He Daqing hard.
He originally thought he had achieved financial freedom.
Whatever I want to do, nobody else can tell me what to do.
He believed that the foreign woman's attraction to him was due to his personal charm.
But He An's casual remark about a "luxury goods meeting" completely woke him up.
With his meager assets, not to mention that most of them have already been distributed.
Even before they were separated from the family, they were only considered moderately wealthy.
If he didn't have the title of being the father-in-law of Lou Xiao'e, the richest woman in Hong Kong, those foreign women wouldn't even give him a second glance.
It’s that simple.
He Daqing wasn't unaware of the situation; rather, he had always been unwilling to face it.
He Daqing looked a bit haggard at the Beijing Airport.
Xiao Feng helped him off the plane and glanced at him.
Su Manyun was standing at the exit, waiting for them.
This put He Daqing at ease a little.
Before he returned, Guo Shumiao helped him book a ticket and also asked Guo Shumiao to say goodbye (apologize) to Tan Yali.
Of course, Guo Shumiao would inform Lou Xiao'e and the others. (End of Chapter)
