Inside the round glass room at the back of the City of Rose
Outside the room, there were countless colorful roses swaying in the wind.
The roses were not only beautiful but also represented the deep love of Daniel to Janet...and they had been specifically chosen for this purpose.
The City of Rose had already gained mythic status for being the love-oriented city of legends past in C country.
And Janet is like the goddess of the legend, to be envied by all the women of the land.
Angela who was wearing a light purple lady's dress looked at the blooming roses, and she told the woman beside her, "Jane, look how romantic Daniel is. He's so much in love with you by decorating the City of Rose this way!"
Janet responded with a sweet smile on her face, and she said, "Angela, come on. I heard that Mr. Gu had just given a rare South Sea pearl to you as a gift. And according to your brother Daniel, the pearl was worth over one billion in cash!"
What? Over one billion? Angela knew that the pearl was very precious and she bet that it must cost at least tens of millions, but it never occurred to her that it was worth over one billion...
"Over one billion? Are you kidding me? Arvin was just a doctor. How could he have so much money?" Angela wondered, pertinently.
Janet had doubted it before, so she specifically referred to Daniel, who told her that, "Arvin could earn one million at least by doing one surgery. He's a dirty cutthroat." Of course, that was the price for saving the lives of the super-rich.
"Arvin is truly a doctor worthy of his name. He felt no obligation to charge the exceptionally poor for surgery, so when they came seeking medical care, he did everything for them for free."
"In addition to the income from surgeries, he also has some invention patents, some of which are really amazing with the selling price over hundreds of millions at least!"
"Besides, he also participates in various forums, lectures and programs, which provides him with a considerable amount of income as well."
"Anyway, he's also one of the owners of Yao Hospital, taking the shares of his grandfather, Aron and Derrick. Let's say, the one-year share dividend has been enough for him to buy a luxury car."
...
That's why over one billion was just a drop in the bucket for Arvin!
After explaining every item of Arvin's income to Angela, Janet looked at Angela with a confused look, and she asked, "Didn't you know that, Angela?"
"Uhh..." Angela was speechless.
She knew nothing about Arvin's finances; she was utterly ignorant of her boyfriend's wealth because of her indignant naivety.
Nicole who had just returned back from the WC had traipsed over now. She said, "Angela, hey, what are you looking at?"
Janet smiled and answered, "Angela is just having a senior moment; she's been going out with Arvin for however long now and she has just come to understand how rich he actually is, hahaha."
Angela really had no idea and felt ashamed. She had never wanted to ask Arvin about this on the down low.
She just wished everything in their relationship to be kept low-key, and for her, as a woman, to never consort with such ideas that she could understand the finances of her boyfriend. To think so was foolish. She knew he was a rich man, but she just had no scale upon which to measure his wealthiness. He was so rich. Although her family was also wealthy, she didn't make much money, especially compared with Arvin. She was more like a... beggar leeching off of him.
"Angela, we all know that Arvin is rich. You see, he has cooperated with your brother in many projects, and the profit from any one of these projects could fetch tens of millions at least." Of course, Nicole knew it clear because Sven had told her before.
"Uhh..." Even her sister-in-law knew about that...
"Emm, I heard that he's focusing on some formula targeting cancer lately, and the whole medical circle is waiting for him to bring a surprise to everyone! If he does succeed, the patent could sell at least one billion."
"Uhh..." Angela was so astonished that she had completely lost her words like a catatonic mental patient.
Nicole and Janet glanced at each other and said with one voice, "Silly Angela."
