More than an hour later, Lin Hao received nine hundred thousand in cash. He relaxed only after confirming that it was all genuine.
Lin Hao looked at Su Qingwei and said, “Miss Su, may I borrow your bag?”
Su Qingwei smiled. “You may, but how will you thank me?”
Lin Hao answered directly, without beating around the bush. “I’ll give you one hundred yuan.”
Su Qingwei beamed and shook her head at him. “I don’t want your money. I’m only helping you this once for your friend’s sake.”
Seeing how coy they were being, the woman in the leopard-print skirt said, “The way you two are acting, you must both be students. Let’s never meet again!”
Lin Hao blinked. “Never see you again.”
“Hmph.”
The leopard-print woman disliked Lin Hao. She swayed her hips as she left first.
The middle-aged man wore a kind, amiable smile. “Young man, I hope you’re lucky enough to have another chance to meet me in the future.”
Everyone from jewelry city left, leaving the coffee shop deserted.
Immediately afterward, Lin Hao and the others did not linger either and walked out of the coffee shop.
Yu Dahai could no longer hold back. “Holy crap, Brother Lin Hao, you’re a God of Wealth handing out money! You made nine hundred thousand in one transaction. How come I don’t have such good luck?”
Fang Zhanpeng’s eyes filled with stars. “Lin Hao—no, from now on, you’re my boss. I’ll listen to you. I want to cling to your Powerful Backer.”
“Get lost. Don’t look at me like that!”
Lin Hao scolded him with a laugh.
“Hahahahaha!”
“We can go home at last.”
They went their separate ways. Su Qingwei accompanied Lin Hao to the familiar patch of woods. She wanted to say something, but found that she did not know how to phrase it.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed foolishly.
Afterward, Su Qingwei gathered her thoughts and said, “Lin Hao, I’ll come to retrieve my bag on your mom’s birthday.”
“Sure. It’s tomorrow, and you’re welcome to come.”
After what happened with his Ex-Girlfriend, Lin Hao had become cautious about relationships.
After speaking, he carried a bag in one hand and held a red bag in the other as he walked toward his home.
“Hmph.”
“That guy.”
Su Qingwei watched Lin Hao’s departing figure, the corners of her lips curling upward. His charm attracted her, and she admired him greatly.
When Lin Hao returned home, he found mom reading a book.
“Mom, I’m back.”
“What did you bring back? Whose girl owns this such-red bag?”
“Mom, no. This is my bag.”
Lin Hao Opened One’s Eyes and told an outrageous lie. Without worrying about anything else, he ran back to his room and shut the door.
Lin Hao could not let Mom see the Property Ownership Certificate, Bracelet, or money yet. Otherwise, it would no longer be a surprise.
Thus, Lin Hao emptied everything out in his room.
While sorting through his belongings, he also brought out his own documents.
Lin Hao hid the property ownership certificate and the other items.
There was one more matter. After buying the house, Lin Hao had obtained a reward, and he could redeem it now.
First, he had obtained a Qi-Gathering Pill. After assimilating it, his strength reached the foundation establishment perfection stage. His next step was the golden core realm.
Second, he had obtained a Spell called the Restoration Technique, which could restore anything!
Lin Hao left the room and saw mom wearing glasses. Concerned, he asked, “mom, what happened to your eyes?”
Ye Huilian sighed. “Sigh, I’ve become nearsighted, and my vision keeps getting worse. I’m old now; I’m no longer any good. I even have wrinkles on my face.”
Lin Hao took mom’s hand. “Mom, don’t work too hard. Treat yourself better.”
“If I don’t work, what will I use to support you?”
Ye Huilian rolled her eyes at her son, finding his words inexplicable.
Lin Hao began Spellcasting with the Restoration Technique. He could not bear to see Mom develop wrinkles so quickly or suffer from nearsightedness.
He performed the Restoration silently and imperceptibly.
Of course, the Restoration could not keep the body eternally youthful. It could only restore its current condition.
Lin Hao erased the wrinkles from Mom’s face and treated her eyes, restoring her vision.
The process happened gradually, not in a single second.
Half an hour later, Ye Huilian found wearing her glasses uncomfortable, so she took them off.
She immediately felt delighted.
Even without glasses, she could see clearly, as if she had returned to how she had been several years earlier.
Lin Hao played with his mobile phone on the sofa. “Mom, you seem to have gotten younger.”
“Stop lying. Your mom is old.”
Ye Huilian did not believe him, so she went to look in the Mirror and was overjoyed.
“Is this really me?”
“Where did my wrinkles go?”
“Am I dreaming?”
Ye Huilian discovered the changes in herself and could hardly believe them. Holding her face, she kept looking in the Mirror.
A moment later, she ran out of the room. “Son, have I become younger?”
“Yes, mom. You look like you’re eighteen.”
“Pfft.”
“Your words make Mom happy, but they’re too fake. If I were eighteen, I’d chop you up with a knife.”
“Why?”
“Because if I were eighteen, where would I get an eighteen-year-old son? Wouldn’t that mean spacetime had become disordered?”
“……”
Lin Hao found that he did not know how to answer mom anymore.
Ye Huilian held up her mobile phone. “You little brat, what day is tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is mom’s birthday.”
“At least you still have a little conscience. Mom didn’t raise you for nothing. Don’t run off tomorrow. I’ll invite some friends over for a meal.”
“I’ll invite my friends over too.”
“All right.”
They made arrangements for the birthday.
Ye Huilian then contacted the friends she considered familiar. She contacted xu yanyu's mother, but the response was not ideal.
Xu Yanyu's Mother refused. “I’m not free. Huilian, celebrate your birthday by yourself.”
Ye Huilian said regretfully, “All right.”
Meanwhile, xu yanyu's mother spoke with Xu Yanyu.
Madam Xu said, “Since they’ve broken up, I have to avoid suspicion too. Besides, ending this relationship won’t affect me much. The people we get to know in the future will all be of a higher class. She isn’t suitable as my friend.”
Xu Yanyu leaned against her mother and asked, “mom, why are you telling me this?”
Madam Xu stroked her daughter’s head. “Girl, I’m teaching you to engage in effective social networking. When making friends, choose people who are useful to you and discard those who are useless.”
“Oh.”
Thinking of Lin Hao, Xu Yanyu felt she had made the right decision by breaking up. He would no longer drag her down.
Ye Huilian did not take Madam Xu’s refusal to heart. She invited several more friends, all people she had known for many years, and they agreed to come.
The next day.
Ye Huilian bought a great deal of food early in the morning. She intended to cook and prepare a grand feast.
She was busy from the start, preparing the ingredients so she could turn out many dishes later.
Seeing mom work so hard, Lin Hao hired a chef online. She was a part-time chef, and of course, she was a woman.
After the chef arrived, Lin Hao discovered that she was someone familiar. She was none other than Zheng Xinyi’s Mother.
Zheng Xinyi’s Mother recognized Lin Hao too and was extremely surprised. “So you’re the one who hired me, Lin Hao.”
Lin Hao asked, “How is Xinyi?”
Zheng Xinyi’s Mother smiled. “Xinyi is doing very well. She has prepared her textbooks and is reviewing her high school knowledge. Soon, she’ll go to Guicheng to see which school she should attend.”
Lin Hao said, “You can ask me for help when the time comes.”
After they chatted, Lin Hao learned that Zheng Xinyi’s Mother was named He Guiying. He asked her to help Mom.
Ye Huilian walked out of the kitchen and, seeing an extra woman in the house, asked in confusion, “May I ask who you are?”
He Guiying smiled. “Hello, my name is He Guiying. I’m from the countryside, and I can cook many homestyle dishes. I can help you.”
Ye Huilian quickly understood what had happened. Lin Hao had hired someone to help, so she said, “All right. Come with me.”
As the two women entered the kitchen, Ye Huilian rolled her eyes at Lin Hao. She thought that although he had earned some money, he did not know how to save it and spent it recklessly.
Ye Huilian wondered whether she should manage her son’s money for him and return it when school began.
