Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards-Chapter 808 - 338: Yes, I Had Cosmetic Surgery_2

Whoa!

I really am... You really are...

Uh, there’s a bit of a ’father knows best’ vibe here. It might not sound nice, but this guess is actually on point.

Su Huai, enduring his discomfort, admitted, "Yeah, the girl has congenital heart disease, the kind that could flare up at any time. I really hit it off with her, and we have a lot of fun together. Her family wanted to make her happy, so they gave me a lot of things to help take care of her."

Actually, this was a showdown strategy he had thought of before returning home. A parent’s love is boundless; without a plausible explanation, they would always worry.

Su Huai was telling the truth, but he had twisted and omitted a few details, not fearing anyone exposing him.

"Dad, Mom, it’s enough if you two are aware of this. Don’t spread it around; it would reflect poorly on her..."

"Do I need you to remind me of that?"

Mo Hongjuan gave her son a stern look and raised her hand as if to swipe at him, but then she hesitated when faced with his expression and pulled back.

"I’m afraid to even touch you now..."

After holding it in for a while, Su Aijun suddenly blurted out, "Won’t having kids give the game away in the future?"

Su Huai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and he had to continue with his story: "She can’t have children... No, that’s not right. We’re not actually a couple. Considering her health, even dating normally is difficult for her. Essentially, we’re just good friends, and I’m like a playmate to her."

"Spending several hundred thousand just for a playmate?"

Mo Hongjuan curiously turned to Su Aijun: "Hey, what kind of car did Pipi buy for you? Is it worth several hundred thousand?"

"Over 3 million!"

Su Aijun, who knew cars, was gently twirling the car keys on his finger, almost too afraid to grip them firmly.

"What?!" Mo Hongjuan was stunned.

Su Huai quickly explained, "Her family is the ultra-wealthy kind, worth hundreds of billions. The companies she’s invested in for me have already spent over a billion. Our family has struck it rich, and our days ahead will just keep getting better..."

"What on earth?!"

Mo Hongjuan hadn’t even come to terms with the 3-million car, and now there was talk of a billion.

Shock sent her trembling, and she knocked over the box they were holding, causing the gold bracelets to roll across the floor tiles, scattering far and wide.

Su Huai hurriedly embraced her, patting her back to calm her down.

"Don’t get agitated; her father is a figure on the rich list. Just a little of what slips through his fingers is more than enough for our family to turn our fortunes around 100 times. You need to get used to it slowly..."

"I can’t get used to it!"

Mo Hongjuan grew agitated, one hand supporting her head, the other hand clutching her chest: "Pipi, are you really my son? You haven’t been possessed or anything, right?"

In the Northeast, folks often believe in fortune-telling. Mo Hongjuan, who had nothing better to do, liked to get her fortune read, and now her imagination was taking flight.

Then, before they could settle that issue, there was a thud.

—Su Aijun couldn’t take it anymore; he leaned against the wall, slid down, and landed on the floor tiles with a thump.

Su Huai sighed.

There was no helping it; Mr. Tongzi’s influence was too strong, and he disregarded any rules. In half a year’s time, he transformed Zhang Yi into Venerable Dragon plus. Empathetically, that’s more than anyone could bear.

Su Huai had to tough it out, then let time take care of the rest.

It wouldn’t take long, just three years. Three years of a new life would blur their original memories. Habits would naturally form.

"Anyway, that’s the situation. Whether you accept it or not, I’m already attached to them. We can’t just reject the money for the sake of pride, can we?"

"Slap!"

Finally, a slap landed on Su Huai’s arm; Mo Hongjuan said angrily, "You still have the nerve to make wisecracks!"

"Sure do, my heart is really big!" Su Aijun commented, and I couldn’t help but smack my lips and flash a toothy grin: "Hmm, just like me!"

"You might as well stop flattering yourself; you’re good for nothing!"

"What use is a fart? Can your farts start a fire?"

"Hey, I’ll be damned, Su Aijun, you think you’re something special now? Driving around in a 3-million car, strutting your stuff?!"

Mo Hongjuan’s brows shot up, and the moment Su Aijun began to get puffed up, he deflated immediately.

"That’s not the case, that’s not the case... The kid just got back, don’t keep snapping at him..."

After chatting nonsense with his parents for a while to ease the tension, they finally accepted reality.

Well, they tentatively accepted it.

Then, curiosity struck again.

"What does the girl’s family do?"

"Investing is just about putting money into a business and sitting back to collect dividends," Su Huai explained.

"Oh!" Mo Hongjuan understood. "You mean those who have connections and started early?"

"You could say that."

"So, are they richer than Wang Jianlin?"

"Their wealth isn’t easy to calculate, but I guess it’s about the same. Wang Jianlin’s company has shares held by their family too."

"Wow! Incredible... How did she end up fancying you?"

"Maybe because I’m honest?"

To anyone else, such a far-fetched claim would have sounded ridiculous, but Mo Hongjuan nodded vigorously upon hearing it.

"That’s actually true. Our Pipi may not have many strengths, but he is honest and kind, committed to learning and willing to work hard."

Su Aijun sat back on the sofa, fiddling with his car keys, shifting positions every two seconds. He didn’t join in the conversation, and it was unclear if he was listening.

Mo Hongjuan asked many more questions, and Su Huai answered those he could. Finally, he cautioned his parents, "Don’t mention anything about Gu Jiuyue to anyone. Her situation is special. We just need to know it for ourselves. If relatives or friends ask, just tell them I made money through my livestreaming guild and spent some on plastic surgery."

"You’re really bold!"

Mo Hongjuan pursed her lips, showing a hint of displeasure, but ultimately agreed.

"Fine, Mom knows. I won’t tell anyone... Wait a second, what’s the deal with Chen Nuanhan?"

Su Huai feigned ignorance: "What deal? Just a high school classmate!"

"Don’t try to fool me. Why do I feel like she’s chasing after you now?"

"I’ve got money now, and I became more handsome. Isn’t it normal for someone to like me?"

"That’s true. My son certainly isn’t short of potential partners now..."

This was a good point about Mo Hongjuan: once she accepted that her son had become outstanding, she no longer tried to control him.

"Well, you figure it out yourself. I really like Nuannuan, but I won’t make things difficult for you. I won’t start conversations with her from now on, to avoid causing you trouble."

Su Huai heaved a sigh of relief. Though there were still troubles, the biggest issue was resolved.

Then, Su Aijun suddenly chimed in: "Don’t bring up the surgery unless someone else does, let them guess on their own. If anyone asks, just say you don’t know."

"That works."

Mo Hongjuan not only agreed but took it further: "We’re not short on money now. Give them some benefits during the New Year, and I bet no one would be so blind as to ask."

Then Su Aijun asked, "Son, how much money do you actually have now?"

Su Huai tried to play it down: "The company’s valuation can reach twenty to thirty billion this year. I’ve been quite lucky, this industry is in a boom."

Still, they were shocked.

"What the hell is livestreaming? How can it make so much money?"

"It’s a new form of entertainment, similar to the variety shows on television. It’s not very big in scale for now, but there’s a lot of room for imagination."

Mo Hongjuan didn’t understand and wasn’t very interested. She was happily trying on her new jewelry.

Finally, when there was a moment of peace, Su Huai brought up the next topic.

"Mom and Dad, call the uncles and aunts over. Gu sent over a truckload of New Year’s goods, which is parked downstairs. We can’t eat all of it by ourselves, so let’s give some to the relatives."

"Just one truck? What’s the big deal?" Mo Hongjuan muttered with a slight sting of regret, "If we can’t eat it all, we can freeze it. The New Year is upon us..."

Su Huai couldn’t help but smile wryly: "A whole truck, not just a trunkful."

"A whole truck?!" Mo Hongjuan was dumbstruck. "Is this how rich heiresses send New Year gifts..."

"Yeah, they’ll need to come over with cars to haul it."

After estimating that 10 tons of goods would take up quite a space, Su Huai added, "Call up the boys as well. It’ll probably take a lot of effort just to unload the truck."

"Su Aijun, you make the calls."

Mo Hongjuan hurriedly put on her clothes, her chin held high with pride: "I’ll go down and say a few nice words to the neighbors. It might get a bit raucous, and we wouldn’t want anyone to think our family lacks manners!"

Su Huai could see right through her petty concerns and complimented her with impeccable timing.

"Don’t rush, I bought you two new mink coats. It’s cold outside, so put one on before you go out."

Mo Hongjuan beamed with joy: "More fur? I really didn’t spoil you for nothing. Hurry up and bring them to me so I can take a look. Aunt Wang next door has been eyeing mink coats for a while now, she’s an expert, I’ll get her to give her opinion!"

Su Huai’s lips twitched, already sympathizing with Aunt Wang in advance.

And just like that, the Su Family’s home became bustling with noise and activity.
