1.97% After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune / Chapter 17: 17, every woman has vanity.

Chapter 17: 17, every woman has vanity.

"Yang, this gift is too precious, I can't accept it."

Although Sun Xinyi really liked this handbag, she still felt that she couldn't accept it, after all, it was only their first meeting, and accepting such an expensive gift didn't seem appropriate.

"Xinyi, you don't need to feel any pressure, I'm just simply expressing my gratitude, there's no hidden meaning."

Without further discussion, Yang Hao directly stuffed the shopping bag with the ivory white handbag into Sun Xinyi's hands.

In his mind, he thought, you're going to accept this bag today no matter what!

Otherwise, I won't be able to complete my task!

"Yang, this..."

Sun Xinyi wanted to refuse again, but Yang Hao spoke up once more, "If you really feel bad about it, then just help me lose weight for the next month. My goal is 150 pounds."

"Uh..."

"Then I'll prepare a fat-reducing lunch for you every day!"

After a moment's hesitation, Sun Xinyi responded.

"Deal!"

Yang Hao smiled and nodded.

"Thank you, Yang!"

Sun Xinyi really liked this Prada handbag, and seeing that Yang Hao gave it with such sincerity, she didn't refuse anymore.

Ding!

Congratulations, host, for completing the task [The Tycoon's Guilt].

The task reward has been issued; please go to the BYD 4S store at 23 Hanjiang Road, Jiangcheng City, to collect your "BYD Tang U8."

Sure enough, after Sun Xinyi accepted the gift, the system prompt sounded.

Nice!

Yang Hao couldn't help but imagine the meme-face of an old foreign man in his mind.

This gift was totally worth it!

From that moment on, Yang Hao's view of Sun Xinyi changed.

In his eyes, she wasn't just any beautiful woman; she was a big boss that could burst out gold coins and gear!

First, the tenfold cashback card burst out 210,000 gold coins, and now he'd burst a Tang U8. He began to look forward to what else this big boss could burst out.

Bolli Fitness Center.

Yu Lili and Zhou Ling were eating spicy hot pot behind the bar, and at this moment, Meng Yuyu joined them, having ordered a yellow braised chicken rice.

The three women were eating lunch while gossiping, and the topic naturally drifted to Sun Xinyi and Yang Hao.

"Lili, Lingling, you two might not have seen it, but that Yang actually came on an electric bike."

"I happened to see him taking Sun Xinyi away on an electric bike when I was teaching a class on the second floor..."

"I don't know if this man is actually poor or just pretending to be poor."

Meng Yuyu relayed the scene she had seen an hour ago.

"Riding an electric bike?"

"I told you he's a delivery guy!"

Yu Lili perked up, speculating, "He probably spent all his savings to woo Sun Xinyi!"

"A hundred private lessons, thirty thousand yuan. If he's a delivery guy, it would take half a year to save that. If that's really the case, this delivery man is too infatuated!" Zhou Ling remarked with astonishment.

"Some dogs lick so hard that they don't eat or drink just to please the goddess."

Meng Yuyu understood the psychology of these types too well; after all, there were several of them in her Weixin, who barely earn five or six thousand a month but still scrape together money to buy her private lessons while skimping on themselves.

And her method of dealing with such dogs was to keep them hanging. Whenever she felt that one of them was about to give up, she would give them just enough sweet treatment to keep them hoping.

She called this method "raising dogs"!

This was much more enjoyable than keeping actual pets, and importantly, it came with tangible benefits.

"Ah, that poor delivery guy, I guess Sun Xinyi is just accompanying him for a meal," Zhou Ling sighed.

"A dog licker doesn't deserve sympathy!"

Meng Yuyu curled her lip; they became dogs lickers because they lusted after others' bodies, so Meng Yuyu had no sympathy for them, considering they licked with an agenda.

While the three were deep in their gossip, the automatic door of the fitness center slowly opened, and Sun Xinyi walked in from outside.

All three women's eyes landed on her at once. Yu Lili had originally wanted to mockingly ask if she was cold on the backseat of the electric bike.

But just as she was about to speak, she saw the Prada shopping bag in Sun Xinyi's hand, her pupils slightly constricted and a shocked expression appeared on her face.

Real life isn't like Kuaiyin, where if you buy a Prada worth over twenty thousand, you will be ridiculed for being too low, just a basic model, and all that. But in reality, luxury brands like Prada are genuinely unaffordable for most ordinary workers.

For instance, Yu Lili's basic salary plus commission from signing up new clients amounted to a monthly income of around five thousand. She and Meng Yuyu shared an apartment that cost two thousand eight hundred a month. Adding in utilities like water, electricity, and gas, the total rose to over three thousand. So, her monthly housing expenses alone came to fifteen hundred. Adding another fifteen hundred for food, her five-thousand salary dwindled down to two thousand. Then, with the extra expenses of clothes, cosmetics, daily necessities, and assorted other costs, she would do well to save about one thousand if she scrimped and saved.

That didn't even account for the occasional unexpected expenses or the social costs like giving gifts for various occasions. And a monthly salary of five thousand was considered an average income for an ordinary worker, which made a Prada handbag worth over twenty thousand truly a luxury.

"Xinyi, you're browsing Prada now, aren't you? I'm so jealous!"

Zhou Ling had naturally noticed the Prada shopping bag in Sun Xinyi's hand. She was the type with a direct and cheerful personality. She immediately put down her chopsticks and expressed her admiration.

"It was a gift from Yang."

Sun Xinyi responded indifferently.

However, her words were like a critical hit to Yu Lili!

What kind of wealthy customer had she recommended to Sun Xinyi?

A casual gift, and it's starting with Prada!

An involuntary tune popped into Yu Lili's head: "If I could start over, I would chose Li Bai..."

"What did Yang gift you?"

"Jewelry, clothes, or a bag?" Zhou Ling asked curiously.

She also voiced Meng Yuyu's concern as well; although Prada's products were all expensive, items like scarves, hats, or some accessories were relatively cheaper.

This would also reveal the extent of this Yang's wealth.

"A handbag."

Sun Xinyi reported honestly.

Girls all have their vanities, and Sun Xinyi was no exception. She knew Yu Lili harbored hostility toward her because of Xu Linxuan and that she would gossip with Meng Yuyu about her, occasionally making snide remarks.

This moment served as a sort of counterattack, especially since Yang Hao had been recommended by Yu Lili.

"Wow, it's actually a handbag! Can we take a look at it?"

"I've passed Prada several times and never dared to go in..."

There was no question that Zhou Ling was a great hype-woman. With her enthusiastic promotion, the whole scene's cool factor was through the roof, leaving Sun Xinyi with no need to say anything.

Both Meng Yuyu and Yu Lili were actually quite keen on taking a look since it was from Prada.

"Let's go to the break room to check it out."

Sun Xinyi didn't refuse. Being envied was certainly a pleasurable feeling, especially since two of the three present bore some malice towards her.

"Yeah, there's nowhere to unpack it here."

Zhou Ling nodded repeatedly. The bar had two computers and various office supplies, and the little remaining space was occupied by the takeout they ordered.

So, the four women made their way to the break room. Sun Xinyi passed the shopping bag to Zhou Ling who eagerly took out the dust bag containing the handbag and carefully opened it to reveal the ivory-white bag before the four of them.

"Wow, it's beautiful!"

"This seems to be a new model. I've seen it in the store window when I passed by Prada!"

Starlight City was nearby, and Zhou Ling often shopped there, which is why she recognized it instantly as a new display item.

"The design is pretty nice."

Meng Yuyu complimented, though dying of jealousy on the inside, and she mentally dissed her 'plastic best friend' Yu Lili ten thousand times over.

What a great customer to have recommended to Sun Xinyi. If she had been the one recommended, all the personal training sessions and the Prada handbag could've been hers.

At this time, Yu Lili was a mix of jealous and regretful. She couldn't even bring herself to utter a word of praise and instead planned to ingratiate herself with this Yang in the future!

Sun Xinyi had swept Xu Linxuan away from her, and now she'd plan her retaliation.

"Xinyi, don't get scammed by someone!"

"Nowadays, a lot of lowlifes give fake luxury items as gifts. I suggest you go to the Prada store in Starlight City for an authenticity check!"

Just then, a male's voice suddenly sounded from behind the women.

They were all too familiar with this voice—it belonged to Zhu Honggang, the head personal trainer at Bolli Fitness Center.

He had come to the break room to grab a drink and happened to overhear their conversation. Zhu Honggang was also one of Sun Xinyi's suitors, so it naturally bothered him to hear that someone had given her such an expensive gift.

"Xinyi, you have to be wary of these scoundrels' tricks!"

Seeing Sun Xinyi not responding, Zhu Honggang added solemnly.

"Gang, her handbag was actually bought at the Prada store in Starlight City!" Zhou Ling revealed the truth, not wanting the head personal trainer to lose face.

"Uh..."

"I see."

Zhu Honggang's mouth twitched, his pride wounded. He then tried to save face by saying, "Whether someone's sincere can't be measured by their gifts. You have to see if they truly treat you well!"

His words sounded reasonable, but none of the four women present were naive girls. Such a cliché was too hard to swallow.

Gifts can't measure someone's sincerity, yet you don't even bother to give one? What a joke!


Chapter 18: 18, this is not a small car, it's a big car!

Hanjiang Road is home to many 4S shops, known as a famous automobile sales center in Jiangcheng.

In the past few years, the BYD 4S store was nearly bankrupt, but with the increasing popularity of electric vehicles in recent years and BYD's accumulated expertise in batteries and related technologies, the company has seen an explosive growth. Last year, their total sales reached 3 million vehicles, a figure previously unimaginable.

Yang Hao, filled with excitement, walked into the store and was immediately taken to the VIP lounge by the staff after explaining his purpose for the visit.

After all, this was a distinguished Wangyang U8 owner and could not be neglected.

After processing the relevant procedures and getting the license plate from the vehicle management office, it was nearly four in the afternoon when the whole process was finished.

Yang Hao sat in the driver's seat of the Wangyang U8, feeling content.

Before his five hotpot restaurants closed down, Yang Hao had never bought a genuine million-yuan luxury car. Even in his most triumphant years, just to keep up appearances, he bought a second-hand Maserati Ghibli. The quality of that car was so-so; it was mainly about the emblem, which looked quite impressive when driven out.

But now, this Wangyang U8 is a bona fide million-yuan luxury car with a color choice of Dragon Stone Green that looks both grand and of high quality.

Driving on the road, the turnover rate may not be one hundred percent, but it was close, especially where almost every man's gaze was fixed, unable to move away. Anyone with a slight interest in cars knew that BYD had launched a million-yuan luxury car, so much so that many joked: in the past, those without money bought BYD, but now those without money can't buy BYD.

The price tag is 1.09 million, and it would cost over 1.2 million on the road!

If a few years ago, a domestic car dared to have such a price, it would have been ridiculed to oblivion.

Of course, even now, there's no shortage of criticism.

No helping it; there are just too many spineless folks and Akita dogs around!

In their minds, anything from abroad is good, while domestic products are inferior!

If you buy a Japanese car, for heaven's sake, you won't need to wash it for a year; the Akitas will lick it clean for you.

Four-thirty.

Yang Hao arrived at the gate of Belle Kindergarten in his brand-new Wangyang U8.

At that time, the roadside was already lined with many parents' cars, although most were affordable family cars costing around one hundred thousand, with a few better ones such as Mercedes-Benz C and Audi A4L.

Since there was nowhere to park at the gate, Yang Hao had to park a bit further away.

"Yang, why aren't you wearing your uniform today? Didn't go to work?"

As Yang Hao walked to the entrance of the kindergarten, Mrs. Zhang Guilin, who was already familiar with him, immediately came over to chat.

"I switched jobs, so I'm not delivering food for the time being," Yang Hao responded casually. Mrs. Zhang Guilin was quite enthusiastic but liked to grab hold of people for a chat, a common issue among many elderly people.

"Changed jobs? That's great news. Where are you working now?" Mrs. Zhang Guilin inquired.

"Kind of started my own business," Yang Hao replied noncommittally.

"Starting your own business, that's incredible!"

"Yang, let me introduce a girlfriend to you, my niece, very beautiful!"

Mrs. Zhang Guilin had mentioned a few times lately that she wanted to set Yang Hao up with someone, and previously, because Yang Hao was just a delivery guy, her enthusiasm was not especially high. But now, hearing that Yang Hao was starting his own business, her eagerness soared.

"Mrs. Zhang, thank you," Yang Hao expressed.

"However, I'm not considering it at the moment," he said, shaking his head gently.

"It's not like you two have to end up together; just meet and see how things go. It's good to have more friends. I'll send your WeChat to her and you guys can chat casually..."

Mrs. Zhang Guilin seemed determined this time, and since she had talked to this extent, it was difficult for Yang Hao to refuse any longer. In any case, it wouldn't be a big deal— at most, his WeChat list would have one more "corpse."

And whether the other party would add him was still uncertain. After all, those Mrs. Zhang Guilin could introduce to him must be those older unmarried women, colloquially known as "leftover women."

Such women were extremely discerning and picky, with some being rather pretentious. Regarding things like adding to WeChat, they might not take the initiative to do so.

While the two were talking, the kindergarten teacher had already begun leading the children out from the classrooms.

"Daddy, daddy..."

Most of the parents who came to pick up their children were mothers or grandparents, but standing at 182 cm, Yang Hao towered over the crowd, making him quite conspicuous.

Xixi caught sight of her dad in an instant and started calling out to him with bounces and jumps.

Yang Hao waved to his precious daughter in response.

Seeing her dad's gesture, the little girl immediately waved goodbye to her neighbor, "Bye, Mrs. Qiqi."

"Mm, bye, Xixi."

Jiang Yuqi also waved to Xixi, and then she gave a slight nod to Yang Hao in the crowd.

Yang Hao usually wore his Kangaroo delivery service uniform, which was hardly a fashion statement, but today he was dressed in casual attire which gave him the air of a mature man. His tall and burly figure also conveyed a sense of security.

Thinking of Xixi's morning request to act as "mommy," Jiang Yuqi couldn't help but imagine herself standing beside Yang Hao, her height being 165 cm while he was clearly over 180 cm. This was the height difference she liked, and standing by his side would give her a feeling of being protected and cherished.

Externally, they were quite a good match, if only he wasn't just 'uncle' age!

Nowadays, many girls in their early twenties like older men.

But the reality is, age alone doesn't make one a 'dashing uncle'!

Age is just a factor, one becomes an uncle when they reach a certain age and have money; those who don't have money are just greasy old men!

In Jiang Yuqi's eyes, Yang Hao wasn't greasy, but he was just a good old man who was nice to his daughter.

Not a good match!

"Daddy, why didn't you ride the electric scooter today?"

By now, Xixi was in Yang Hao's arms, her little head resting on her father's shoulder, asking in a soft, tender voice.

"Daddy bought a new car, and I'll drive Xixi home."

Yang Hao said with a smile.

"Ah? A small car??"

Xixi was a bit surprised, her large eyes blinking. She remembered that the family used to have a car, but after her dad's hot pot restaurant closed down, the car was sold.

In kindergarten, the children occasionally talked about whether their families had cars. Xixi found herself unable to join in these conversations, and some annoying kids would say things like Xixi's family didn't have a car. Of course, these kids didn't really mean to mock; they just wanted to boast about having a car at home.

But the sensible Xixi never told her father about these things, knowing that he was already working hard to make money.

"Yeah, a small car."

Yang Hao nodded with a smile.

"Wow, we have a car in our family now!"

"Daddy, you're so awesome~!" Xixi cheered exuberantly.

Yang Hao affectionately tousled his beloved daughter's hair. When Xixi was happy, her old dad was even happier.

It didn't take long for the father and daughter to reach the parked car by the roadside. Yang Hao pointed to the U8 gazed upon by two onlookers and told Xixi, "There, that's Xixi's car from now on."

"Oh!"

Xixi nodded in delightful surprise, then carefully examined the big fellow parked by the roadside and pouted, "Daddy is lying!"

"Huh?"

Yang Hao was a bit flustered, "How is daddy lying?"

Xixi placed one little hand on her hip and said earnestly, "This isn't a small car, it's a big car!"
