Rich Parents Found Me After I Got a Tycoon System? Yeah, I'm Not Interested novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Such an Expensive Gift Makes You an Easy Target

Wu Zicheng opened the gift box, revealing the present inside.

"Oh! A Jade Guanyin pendant. The quality looks pretty good. Let me see..."

Wu Zicheng picked up the Jade Guanyin and held it close to examine it.

"The moment I touched it, I knew it was real. Looking at the clarity, it must be ice-grade, and the color is a vibrant green..."

"Whoa! I’ve hit the jackpot! I wonder which friend sent this. Are you willing to reveal your name?"

Wu Zicheng was genuinely surprised. For people like them, who threw birthday parties every year, the gifts they received weren’t exactly cheap. But aside from a few close friends, the price of a gift topped out at 100,000 yuan.

But this ice-grade, vibrant green Jade Guanyin pendant, based on Wu Zicheng’s expert opinion, was worth no less than 500,000 yuan.

’Who was it? Who’d be so generous with a gift?’

First, he ruled out his close buddies. If they gave him a gift worth over 100,000, he’d never hear the end of it. A 500,000 yuan pendant? No way they’d be this quiet.

Next, he ruled out the familiar faces who weren’t close friends but showed up at every party. He knew exactly what kind of gifts they’d give; they wouldn’t spend more than 50,000 yuan, tops.

Then, he ruled out the party-crashers from minor families. Their monthly allowance was probably less than a million yuan; they wouldn’t spend 500,000 just to buy him a gift. That would be completely insane.

Finally, Wu Zicheng’s gaze fell upon Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao.

Su Mengyao was a familiar face, though she didn’t attend every gathering. The young miss of the Su Family, one of the eight great junior families. Arrogant, willful, and rich.

Yun Zijin, someone Sheng Yang addressed as "Sister," couldn’t be a simple character. Although he wasn’t sure about her financial situation, the watch on her wrist was easily worth at least a million yuan.

These two ladies were the most likely candidates.

Sheng Yang was thinking the same thing as Wu Zicheng.

Sheng Yang leaned closer to Yun Zijin. "Sister Yun, this wasn’t... from you, was it?"

’What kind of freakish luck does this guy Wu Zicheng have, getting such a precious gift from my Sister Yun?’

’I’d have said 100,000 yuan was already too good for him. This ice-grade, vibrant green Jade Guanyin pendant just blows everything else out of the water.’

"Yeah. I didn’t go back to Xingyu Mansion, so I had my bodyguard go pick something out. It’s not... too over the top, is it?"

This was Yun Zijin’s first time attending a rich kid’s birthday party, and her first time giving one a gift. Her idea at the time had been to pick something that wasn’t cheap, but not too expensive either.

500,000 yuan seemed like a reasonable price point in her mind. Ling Qi certainly knew how to choose.

’Besides, "men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha." That should be a safe bet, right?’

"Sister Yun, you really let this kid get away with a huge bargain! He has a birthday every year and throws a party every time.

If we give gifts worth hundreds of thousands every time... we’re just living on allowances! How can we afford to be fleeced like that?! 100,000 yuan is the absolute limit!

Don’t give something so expensive next time, Sister Yun. You’ll make yourself a target!"

’Once they know Sister Yun is a big spender, they’ll all start sending her invitations—one for a birthday today, another for an anniversary tomorrow.’

’And if you receive an invitation, even if you don’t go, you still have to send a gift, right?’

’That’s how they’ll fleece you.’

"Um... I don’t live on an allowance."

’She lived on rent money.’

Yun Zijin’s single sentence completely shattered Sheng Yang’s composure.

’Doesn’t she know how deeply that wounds a 1.8-meter-tall, second-generation rich kid who has never earned a single cent with his own two hands?!’

T_T

At that moment, Su Mengyao felt the exact same way as Sheng Yang.

’She lived on an allowance, too.’

Looking at the gift Yun Zijin gave versus the ones they gave, the difference between them was starkly clear.
