“Don’t worry, go!”

After all, the two of them had not been down for long. It seemed that he had only failed one dish. There were still quite a lot of ingredients left. Xu Wenping began to operate.

At first, Su Yurou was a little surprised when she saw Mother Xu walk out of the kitchen. Then, the two girls gathered at the kitchen door and revealed shocked expressions.

“Auntie… Was Wenping’s culinary skills so good since he was young?”

“This… I don’t know either.”

A kitchen knife fluttered in Xu Wenping’s hand, as if it had grown on his hand. The simple dishes were so smooth and silky when moved.

Whether it was the combination of the materials or the control of the fire, the two women were a little speechless.

Not long after, there were only two pots, but there were four dishes and one soup. Xu Wenping came out with the dishes and saw his mother and Su Yurou watching. He smiled strangely and said, “What are you two doing here? Stealing a master s skill!”

“Do I need to steal your skills?”

“I’ve been making dishes for my entire life. Can you beat me?”

However, when the dishes were placed on the table, his father was the first to be attracted by the bright dishes. It was a simple steamed bass, but it looked as white as jade and emitted a fragrance. Just as he was about to eat it, his mother stopped him and said, “Let’s wait until everyone comes up.”

The stir-fried vegetables were placed on the plate one by one, like a jade flower.

Then, there was the bright and red twice-cooked pork and a vegetable dish. Even Mother Xu, who was blocking Xu Shinian’s way, could not help but swallow her saliva when she smelled the fragrance.

When the last dish of chicken soup was served and boiled, the rich fragrance immediately aroused everyone’s interest.

Xu Wenping picked up a small bowl and scooped a bowl for each of them. He introduced them softly, “This soup is the main dish today. The ginseng inside will strengthen your body and prolong your life. It’s very good!”

Immediately, everyone began to feast.

At first, Su Yurou wanted to be more reserved, but she soon realized that it was simply too fragrant. She hurriedly ordered two bowls of rice and clutched her stomach, wanting to pick more food.

“Kid, you’re too good at pretending to be a jerk. When I ask you to pick vegetables, you hide far away like Sun Wukong. If it weren’t for cooking for your wife, would your parents never have tasted this?” His father had something to say but was interrupted by his mother’s chopsticks.

“Aiyo.”

After the five dishes, Mother Xu suggested bringing some wine.

After the incident with the Maserati, Mother Xu’s face had a hint of worry. After everyone clinked their glasses, Mother Xu grabbed Su Yurou’s hand and said softly, “Girl, you said that you ran cosmetics just now, and I really believe you.”

“Look at you, driving such an expensive car. Our entire family’s wealth is probably not as valuable as your four wheels. Will our Wenping be climbing up the social ladder?”

“But don’t worry, little girl…”

Mother Xu took out the red packet and said, “This red packet is a little token of our appreciation. You must accept it. I’ll give Wenping another card later. 1 can’t let the three gold jewelry he gave you come from you. This is a token of his appreciation… Girl, you have to understand.”

Su Yurou’s face turned red, and she quickly shook her head. “No, Auntie. Wenping and I are truly in love… Besides, why would you listen to his nonsense? He’s much richer than me!”

Hearing this, Xu Wenping’s parents looked at each other.

Xu Wenping took the red packet from his mother’s hand and stuffed it into Su Yurou’s hands. “Take it. After all, the meaning of what parents give is different. Don’t disappoint the elders.”

“Yes!”

Su Yurou calmly received it.

In fact, Xu Wenping was still thinking about how he should explain to his parents about being rich. After Su Yurou’s words, it was easier for him to speak.

Looking at the two elders, Xu Wenping shrugged calmly and said, “Actually… I’ve been tinkering with something since university. You know about bitcoin, right? Anyway, it wasn’t reliable or safe at first, so 1 never said anything.”

“But now it seems that the market is stable. Later on, I bought some shares of the Imperial Corporation… It’s our Jin Hai City’s Imperial Corporation… I do have some savings now.”

The expressions of the two elders changed drastically.

“Bitcoins? What the h*ll is that?” Mother Xu was suspicious.

Xu Wenping’s father pushed up his glasses and said, “I’ve heard of this before… It’s a kind of virtual digital currency. Although it sounds like it’s floating in the air, one is worth a lot of gold. It’s said that if the technology is up to standard, one only needs to invest in a computer to dig it out. Is that true?”

Xu Wenping quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes! I was lucky enough to dig out some.”

Mother Xu suddenly realized. Although she was still a little suspicious, she didn’t mention anything else.

Xu Wenping pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, I’ve thought about it too. Dad, Mom… Look at our neighborhood. The people who live there are all uncultured people. I bought a house in the Emerald Sea Immortal Dynasty villa area not long ago. After it’s done, we’ll move there together. We won’t be affected by such brats.”

“The two of you are a little old. In the future, when we have a son, you can rest in peace and grow flowers, grass, and chess.”

“Villa? Hey… Kid, you really hid it well! You’re even better at pretending than your father, making our entire family worry about your marriage funds.” His father rolled his eyes happily.

At this moment, although Mother Xu did not say anything, she noticed the flash of shock in Su Yurou’s eyes.

Even though she soon returned to normal, Mother Xu began to wonder why a big boss who drove a car worth 2 million yuan would suddenly lose her face when she heard about a villa.

Su Yurou’s expression was strange as she stared at Xu Wenping for a few moments. Her heart was in turmoil.

Not many people in Jin Hai City knew about the name Emerald Sea Immortal Dynasty. It was no wonder that Xu Wenping’s parents didn’t know about it, but Su Yurou did.

This was a villa area that was not for sale. Since its establishment, only a few Ivy League families lived in it.

Most of them were well-known tycoons in the country and even internationally, or retired leaders.

It could be said that this scenic villa area didn’t even have any business records because it couldn’t be bought with money. Only those who met a certain status could naturally live in it.

Generally speaking, for people at this level, money no longer had much meaning to them. Therefore, the person in charge of Emerald Sea Immortal Dynasty would not mention any property issues when transferring the property.

It was a matter of value.

Not to mention that she, Su Yurou, did not have the qualifications to do so. In Su Yurou’s opinion, even the higher-ups of the Imperial Corporation would not be able to get in!

This was called ‘having some shares’ in the Imperial Corporation?
