Chapter 151: Chapter 146 Jin Baogen’s Grand Gift_2 Chapter 151: Chapter 146 Jin Baogen’s Grand Gift_2 “Godfather, please have so tea.”
Jin Baogen’s eyes brimd with satisfaction.
He took the teacup, sipped lightly, and then smiling, helped Xiao ier to her feet.
Applause filled the spacious northern grand room.
Li Zhida congratulated him, “Congratulations, Mr.
Jin, for gaining such a valuable daughter!”
The crowd echoed with congratulations, and for a mont, the room buzzed with extraordinary excitent.
Xiao ier, moved to tears of joy, was even more surprised by what ca next.
From his pocket, Jin Baogen pulled out an exquisite small red envelope, only palm-sized and not looking very thick.
He handed it to Xiao ier, “Xiao Er, now that you have acknowledged , accept this.
It’s a small token of my affection as a father.”
Sowhat overwheld by the honor, Xiao ier took the red envelope with both hands, her voice trembling slightly, “Thank you, godfather.”
Everyone else’s eyes were glued to the red packet, guessing that based on Jin Baogen’s usual style, the gift within must be worth a fortune.
“Xiao Er, why don’t you open it and have a look?” Shulin was equally curious.
Xiao ier carefully opened the red packet to find a small, delicate key inside.
She looked at Jin Baogen with a puzzled expression.
“This house will be yours from now on,” Jin Baogen said with composure.
Even the VIPs present were shocked by his statent.
This estate, a five-section courtyard house, covered over 2300 square ters of land with an astonishing 3500 square ters of constructed area.
In Houhai, where parking is incredibly challenging, this property ca with 12 parking spaces, 4 above ground and 8 underground.
By the current market rates, it was worth at least 1.8 billion yuan.
“Godfather, this is too valuable,” Xiao ier felt the weight of the key in her hand, nearly too heavy to bear.
“Hey, since I’ve taken you in, isn’t everything that’s mine going to be yours anyway?” Jin Baogen said with a smile.
This statent carried even more weight than “this house will be yours from now on,” highlighting Jin Baogen’s deep affection for Xiao ier.
Shulin was also surprised.
She nudged Chen Cheng’s arm and whispered, “I forgot to congratulate you.”
“Congratulate ?”
Shulin’s gaze lingered on Chen Cheng’s face, “Now that Xiao Er has officially beco Mr.
Jin’s goddaughter, doesn’t that make you the godson-in-law?”
Chen Cheng was initially startled, then he quickly understood the implication in Shulin’s words.
“I think Mr.
Jin is using Xiao Er’s adoption to elevate your status.”
Without any ambiguity, Shulin said, “In the future, when you go out, besides Mr.
Chen’s face, you’ll also have his, the elder’s, favor in your corner.”
Smiling, she added, “So, congratulations, Mr.
Chen.”
“Co on, let show you around the place!” Jin Baogen, brimming with energy, led the way, “The rest of you haven’t seen the other four courtyards yet, right?”
“Nope, this will be quite the eye-opener!”
Li Bo called out imdiately, not expecting to witness such an event just before leaving Beijing.
But soon, he realized his concern: whether Chen Cheng would still buy his apartnt.
Taking advantage of the mont as the group escorted Jin Baogen forward, Li Bo quietly called to Chen Cheng.
“Mr.
Chen.”
“Eh?”
Li Bo fumbled for a cigarette, “There’s sothing I want to ask about.”
“Go ahead.”
“With Mr.
Jin gifting such a grand house to your wife today, that small apartnt of mine…”
Li Bo smiled awkwardly.
His earlier generosity in extending the paynt deadline seed trivial in face of Jin Baogen’s lavish gift.
“Mr.
Chen, as you know, I’ll be leaving soon, right?”
Shulin also heard the conversation, standing next to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng smiled, “Lao Li, my word is my bond.
I’ll still take the apartnt.
I won’t make things difficult for you.”
“Then I have to thank you, Mr.
Chen.”
“Dont ntion it.
How about tomorrow, I’ll pay you the final installnt.”
Li Bo gestured with his hands in refusal, “No need, no need, I was just asking!
Don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s about ti; a day or two won’t make a difference,” Chen Cheng said with a smile.
“Okay, then I won’t be polite.”
“Cough, you suffered to part with your love, and I haven’t properly thanked you yet!” Chen Cheng said with a smile.
“Not at all, Mr.
Chen, you’re too kind.
It’s my honor to have such a connection with you and Mrs.
Chen.”
Li Bo humbly replied, while also secretly feeling emotional that today’s series of events were more exciting than any drama he had seen in his lifeti.
Jin Baogen looked back, “Hey, Mr.
Chen, why are you hiding way back there?”
Upon hearing that, Chen Cheng quickened his pace to Xiao ier’s side.
“From now on, you two should live well together, with prosperity and vitality, and may you be blessed with many children and grandchildren!” Jin Baogen blessed them.
Xiao ier’s face imdiately blushed, and she couldn’t help but take Chen Cheng’s hand.
Wen Shulin stood at the end of the line, looking at them from a distance in the light and shadow, feeling both envious and bitter.
“Chairman Wen, what are you doing standing here?” Zhou Xiansheng, who had just returned from the restroom, asked while drying his hands.
Wen Shulin forced a smile, “The sun is too strong in front, it’s cooler here.”
Jin Baogen led the way, introducing the layout and features of the house as he walked.
Each courtyard had its own unique style and purpose, from the drawing room to the study, from the bedroom to the garden, each detail reflected his taste and care.
Xiao ier followed behind Jin Baogen, feeling both excited and nervous.
She had never imagined that she would own such a mansion, nor expected to be acknowledged as Jin Baogen’s daughter so formally in front of so many people.
Chen Cheng followed Xiao ier silently, feeling that the hand he was holding was already sweating.
“Is it that hot?” he asked.
Xiao ier, unable to contain her excitent, tiptoed and whispered in Chen Cheng’s ear: “Xiao Cheng, pinch .”
“Why would I do that?” Chen Cheng asked with a smile.
“I’m afraid I’m dreaming!”
Chen Cheng released her hand and embraced Xiao ier’s waist, “It’s all real.”
Xiao ier’s face was filled with a happy smile, her eyes brimming with dreams of their future life.
Finally, everyone arrived at the courtyard in the northwest corner, which combined a garden and a swimming pool, with the elegance of a Chinese garden and the modernity of Western architecture.
The cooking team had already prepared lunch, and a variety of exquisite dishes were placed on the table.
While everyone wandered around, Jin Baogen sat on a stone bench, “Xiao Er.”
“What’s up, godfather?”
“I just wanted to ask if you’re satisfied,” Jin Baogen said with a smile: “Don’t be so nervous, this is your ho.”
“I am satisfied, this place is amazing!”
Jin Baogen nodded, “Later on, you can place a rocking chair here and, when you have free ti, you can bask in the sun and read a book.”
He pointed to the swimming pool nearby and continued, “It’s still quite hot these days, you can swim and keep fit.
Just rember not to close off the water in winter.”
Xiao ier nodded earnestly, “I’ll rember.”
“The house is a bit too big; personally, I think the small courtyard in the northeast would be more suitable for you and Xiao Cheng, it’s quieter there.”
Jin Baogen laughed while pulling out a cigarette, “Of course, whatever makes you two happy, you can sleep anywhere!”
“Godfather!”
“Ha ha ha.
Look at !” Jin Baogen laughed heartily: “Just a joke, I just want you two to be happy.”
Xiao ier bead, “Xiao Cheng and I will take good care of you.”
“Good, with your words, I’m satisfied.”
Jin Baogen turned to Chen Cheng, with a sly smile on his face,
“Mr.
Chen, you better take good care of my goddaughter.
If you dare to bully her, I won’t let you off.”
Chen Cheng replied seriously, “You can rest assured!
I will use my entire life, my next life, and the life after that, to protect the best Er-Jie.”
“Ha ha ha.”
A glint showed in Jin Baogen’s eyes, “That’s right.
A man should bear responsibility!”
Hearing this, Xiao ier’s face flushed.
She snuggled up to Chen Cheng tightly, and at that mont, it seed as if all the happiness in the world had converged upon her.
