Chapter 149: 142, it's all out in the open now, your son is a billionaire (bonus chapter for monthly votes ⑫)
"I'll bring it up now..."
Sun Xinyi stood up from the sofa and said to Yang Guomin.
"Eh?"
"A gift for me?"
Yang Guomin was quite surprised because this "daughter-in-law" had already brought quite a few things with her when she entered the house.
Why had she prepared a separate gift just for him?
Yang Hao glanced at Yibao, with the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
In his mind, he thought: So it begins!
He knew that Yibao was planning something big because a few days ago, Xu Yali had made up an excuse to get a copy of his ID card, which of course had his address on it.
Afterwards, Sun Xinyi took off two days from work, so it probably wasn't her first visit to Yicheng.
However, Yang Hao pretended as if he knew nothing.
He was also quite curious to see what kind of surprise Yibao had prepared for his parents.
Additionally, Yibao's good performance was part of the [Filial Daughter-in-Law] task.
The reward for this task was one billion in dedicated filial piety funds!
With this money, Yang Hao's parents would be able to completely enjoy their twilight years.
But at the moment, the System had not reacted, meaning the task was not yet complete...
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
Liu Yani, who was closest to the door, immediately opened it.
Two workers dressed in a logistics uniform immediately carried in a big box.
"Which one is Miss Sun? Please sign here."
One of the workers took out a form.
"I am."
Sun Xinyi went over and signed her name, and the workers who had completed their task quickly left.
"Uncle, why don't you open it and see if you like it?"
The workers had brought in a big cardboard box, so large it was over one cubic meter in volume.
"This is for me??"
Yang Guomin looked bewildered.
The others were also curiously looking at the big box.
Sun Xinyi smiled and nodded. It was military adviser Xu Yali's idea to "cater to his interests."
And from her investigation, she knew that Yang Guomin's biggest hobby was fishing—he was a true fishing enthusiast...
At that moment, Yang Guomin took a pair of scissors, opened the outer cardboard box, and his eyes instantly lit up.
Because inside was a set of complete fishing gear: fishing box, rods, landing net, fish guard, and all the other essentials.
But that was not all, the types of rods were particularly abundant, including hand poles, sea poles, and pier poles...
Among them were several rods Old Mr. Yang had dreamed of owning, such as the Dawa Red Tiger and Dawa's Ripple Extreme.
These two rods had a good reputation among anglers, with the only downside being they were expensive.
One rod cost over ten thousand!!
Ordinary people simply could not afford it!!
Moreover, there was also the limited edition Tingshen, the one with only 199 rods sold worldwide...
"This..."
"Great, really great!!"
Old Mr. Yang was first stunned, then he began praising incessantly.
His lips were curled up as if they were being reeled in, and he couldn't suppress the smile.
There were twenty or thirty rods in the box, each one something Old Mr. Yang had only ever dreamed of having.
He was already imagining the scene of showing off to his fishing buddies with a different rod every day...
Don't think my rods are few, for I have plenty!
"Xinyi, these rods are very expensive, aren't they?"
"It's too extravagant..."
Since Old Mr. Yang was an angler, He Yufen knew a bit about it too. Old Mr. Yang had been clamoring to buy a fishing rod a while back, which cost over a thousand.
He Yufen didn't agree to buy it, and Old Mr. Yang even went on a hunger strike over it!
But now, there were twenty or thirty rods in the box, and if each one cost over a thousand, then it would be twenty or thirty thousand, not to mention there were other various items in the box—adding it all up, wouldn't it be several thousands?
"If uncle likes it, that's great."
Sun Xinyi replied with a smile, then subconsciously glanced at Yang Hao.
In fact, she felt a bit embarrassed, as after all, it was Yang who was spending the money!
"Xinyi, all this stuff must've cost several thousand, right?"
Yang Huizhen asked curiously.
"Several thousand??"
Old Mr. Yang snorted, picking up a Gamma Carp MARK4 limited edition rod and pointing at two other rods from the same series, "Just these three are worth fifty or sixty thousand!"
Despite not having much money himself, Old Mr. Yang had several fishing groups, and he always followed these things, so he was quite knowledgeable about fishing gear.
It's like not having money in the pocket but browsing luxury cars every day.
He may ride a Yadea (electric scooter) every day, but he knows every model of Audi like the back of his hand.
"This..."
Yang Huizhen was dumbfounded, "That's really expensive!"
"Then this whole box of fishing gear must be worth hundreds of thousands!!"
Yang Huizhen looked at Sun Xinyi instinctively, realizing that not only was the girl young and beautiful, but she was also quite wealthy!
But how did someone with such credentials fall for her nephew?
Yang Guomin, now catching on, was also a bit bewildered.
He thought before: My son has made something of himself, found a young and beautiful daughter-in-law!
His current thought was: Isn't my son living off a woman???
But what did the girl see in my son??
Old Mr. Yang even felt like his own son might not be worthy...
He Yufen was so shocked she couldn't speak; the fishing gear in this single box was already worth more than their old house!
Meanwhile, Liu Yani was nearly astonished beyond words...
She looked at her big brother Yang Hao, and then at her sister-in-law Sun Xinyi.
This wasn't an old bull eating tender grass!
It was an old bull eating gold grass!!
At 35, he could still live off a woman!
That was too awesome!!
"Xinyi, you're not thinking of having our Hao become a live-in son-in-law, are you?"
Yang Guomin weakly asked.
He had just found out when asking about the family situation that Sun Xinyi had a younger sister and their parents didn't have a son.
Paired with her lavish ways, it was possible she wanted to spend money to take their son off their hands!
Having this thought, Yang Guomin hastily put down the fishing rod he was holding.
Although he liked these rods very much, exchanging his son was out of the question!
Then his lineage would be thoroughly cut off!!
After becoming a live-in son-in-law, even if he had children, they wouldn't be able to carry the Yang surname.
"No!"
"I don't have such thoughts!!"
Sun Xinyi shook her head repeatedly in fright.
In her mind, she thought, it's already questionable whether I can marry into the Yang family, let alone harbor such an unrealistic idea.
"Uncle, Auntie!"
"Here's the thing..."
Sun Xinyi decided it was better to lay her cards on the table; the pressure was just too much.
The situation was different from when Yang Hao was at her own home; Yang was giving a surprise with his own money, so how he handled it didn't matter.
But she was spending Yang Hao's money, so it wasn't good to let Yang's parents have the wrong idea.
"Actually, all the money was given to me by Yang."
"I was just presenting Buddha with borrowed flowers, Yang works quite hard and might not have thought of some details, so I just did it for him..."
After finishing speaking, Sun Xinyi took a deep breath, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders.
However, this made everyone's gaze fall on Yang Hao.
"Hao, where did you get so much money?"
He Yufen asked, frowning.
"You haven't done anything illegal, have you??"
Yang Guomin glared with an inspecting posture.
"Hao, didn't all your hotpot restaurants close down??" Yang Huizhen also chimed in.
Yang Hao glanced at Sun Xinyi, who confessed so quickly, and thought: My Yibao is still thin-skinned, huh? If it were Meng Chacha, it would surely be different!
Yang Hao cleared his throat and looked at his utterly astonished parents, shrugging, "Alright, I'll come clean!"
"Your son is a billionaire..."
"What?"
"What's all this?!"
The elderly couple was stunned at first.
Then, Old Mr. Yang turned and went to the bathroom. After a moment, he came out with a basin of water: "Make way, let me splash this foot-washing water on him to wake him up!"
"Talking about being a billionaire!"
"You might as well claim to be the richest man in Hua Country!!"
"No, Old Yang!"
"Don't do anything rash..."
Yang Hao quickly dodged behind Sun Xinyi.
He knew his dad's character; he was like a playful old child now and might very well throw the water on him.
But he certainly wouldn't splash his daughter-in-law!!
"Xinyi, step aside!"
"I'm going to wake him up..."
Yang Guomin held the basin with an unyielding look.
Sun Xinyi couldn't help but smile wryly; indeed, she came to Yicheng early to do some homework.
And she knew that people from Yang's hometown seemed unaware that he had become a wealthy tycoon, but she didn't expect that Yang's parents were also in the dark.
"Uncle, what Yang said is true."
"I can vouch for it; he's now the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!"
Sun Xinyi explained on behalf of her own Yang.
And Yang Hao showed off a little by straightening his suit and puffing out his chest...
Hearing Sun Xinyi's words, everyone in the room was stunned.
"President of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group??"
"My nephew??"
Yang Huizhen was the first to come to her senses, then hurriedly took out her phone to look up the information.
And she actually found it, and the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's official website even had a portrait of the new president, Yang Hao!
"Big brother, sister-in-law, look!"
"It's really Hao..."
Yang Huizhen handed her phone to them.
Old Mr. Yang looked at the information on the phone and then at his son before finally putting the basin of water down.
My son has truly made something of himself!
He's become a big president!
Our Old Yang family's ancestral graves must be smoking with pride...
After confirming the truth of the news, Yang Guomin felt emotional but soon glared at his son again: "You rascal, such a big deal like becoming a president and you don't even tell your family!"
Yang Hao shrugged: "I just didn't get a chance to mention it yet."
"I was going to discuss these matters when I came back this time..."
"Also, although I am now a president."
"All these things were bought by Xinyi, and it was her money that was spent, I didn't know about it!"
He might own up to his position but credit for favors was due to Yibao.
He was still looking forward to benefiting from the System!
Moreover, Yibao indeed had put in the effort, probably running her legs off taking leave these past two days...
"I knew you rascal couldn't be this thoughtful!"
Old Mr. Yang snorted and lovingly picked up the fishing rod he had just put down, muttering to himself, "Xinyi's gift really hits the spot!"
"Hao, how did you become this president??"
He Yufen was still curious about her son becoming the president.
"I'll explain it to you later."
"Everyone's hungry; let's rush to have a meal!"
Yang Hao shifted the topic quickly; this issue wasn't ripe for deep conversation, or he wouldn't be able to keep the System a secret.
"Auntie, I've also prepared a gift for you, let's go check it out..."
Sun Xinyi smiled and took He Yufen's arm, ready to present her second ace.
