Chapter 256 Tang Ru's Experience
After dinner in the evening, Tang Ru took Liu Hongjun into her guest room.
"What's wrong?" Liu Hongjun said with a smile, "Like a thief?"
Tang Ru slapped him gently, and then showed him a row of gifts on the bed. In addition to the bracelet given to her by Liu's mother, there was also a jade pendant given by Liu's father, a set of gold-thread flower jewelry and a set of clothes given by Liu Hongmin and his wife, and a bag of an international brand given by Liu Hongying.
Liu Hongmin asked in confusion: "What's wrong with these?"
"What's wrong?" Tang Ru stared at him, "Tell me the truth, how much are these things worth?"
"They are not worth much!" Liu Hongjun said nonchalantly, "These are all gifts from my family. You can use them after you take them back and register them."
Tang Ru was furious, "Is this what I'm talking about?"
"Which one is that?" Liu Hongjun asked, scratching his head.
Tang Ru pouted and sat on the bed. "How much money does your family have? I feel like Granny Liu, and this place is like the Grand View Garden."
Liu Hongjun laughed, "That's it!"
"You're still laughing!" Tang Ru raised her hand and slapped him, but the force was not even as strong as slapping a mosquito.
Liu Hongjun grabbed her hand and said, "Didn't I tell you before that my elder brother is very rich?"
Tang Ru leaned on his shoulder, "But I didn't expect him to be so rich! The gift he gave me is worth more than all our belongings."
Liu Hongjun said seriously: "This is not a casual gift! This is for their future daughter-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law. No matter how much attention they pay to it, it is not too much."
Tang Ru blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't say I wanted to marry you!"
Liu Hongjun hugged her and scratched her waist with his hands, "Will you marry me? Will you marry me?"
"Marry, isn't it okay to marry?"
The next day, Li Lizhen and Liu Hongying found Tang Ru and said, "Sister-in-law, there is an event at Jinpeng Shopping Center today. Let's go and see what's going on."
Tang Ru had seen the news about Jinpeng Shopping Center on TV before. It said that Jinpeng Shopping Center was the newest, largest and most modern shopping center in Beijing, and its decoration style was even better than that of Hong Kong. Now that she had the opportunity to go and see it, she was of course willing to do so. "Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll change my clothes."
Li Lizhen looked at Tang Ru taking out her old clothes and immediately said, "Xiao Ru, didn't I give you a set of clothes? Why don't you wear them?"
Tang Ru was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid of getting my clothes dirty."
"Clothes are bought to be worn, so you don't have to worry. The Red Army came back suddenly, and they didn't say they would bring you back, so I didn't prepare anything. This is the only set I haven't worn. However, I have asked someone to send clothes from Hong Kong, and they will arrive tomorrow."
Liu Hongying also said, "Yes! Second sister-in-law, I have used most of my bags except this one. My eldest sister-in-law has asked someone to prepare it and will send it over tomorrow."
The two of them helped Tang Ru put on her new clothes.
Li Lizhen took a look and said, "It doesn't fit well. I'll go to the mall and ask someone to alter it."
Tang Ru: "No, I'm dressed quite appropriately."
Liu Hongying picked up her bag and hung it on Tang Ru's shoulder, "Let's go!"
Tang Ru looked at herself in the mirror and felt like a different person. Then she sighed, no wonder people say it's better to marry well than to work well. She hasn't even married Liu Hongjun yet! She has already obtained something that many people can't get in their lifetime.
But she also warned herself not to be corrupted by money. She was with Liu Hongjun because she valued his determination to serve the country, not because of his family background.
"Sister-in-law, are you stunned?" Liu Hongying teased, "Let's go! Otherwise the show will start." Tang Ru came to her senses and followed the two out. There were two cars waiting at the door for a long time. The three of them got on the first car, and then the two cars drove all the way into the underground parking lot of Jinpeng Shopping Mall. When getting off the car, Tang Ru found that there were three or four female bodyguards following the car behind.
The female bodyguards escorted the three people upstairs, and the elevator stopped on the third floor. There were already four or five people waiting outside the elevator. When they saw the three people, they immediately came over and said, "Madam, Miss, the seats have been set up. Please follow me."
The three of them were led to the glass fence, and looking down, they saw the stage that had been set up. Usually, this seemed to be a public area, but now it was separated by a screen into a private room, with three soft chairs and a coffee table. There was tea on the coffee table, and it was just hot enough to drink.
After entering the private room and sitting down, Tang Ru saw countless people lying on the glass fences on the third and second floors opposite, and they were not treated like she was.
"Sister-in-law, is this specially set up for us?"
Li Lizhen nodded, "Yes, this place was chosen by Hongying, it's just right for watching the show."
Tang Ru looked at Liu Hongying, "Sister, this costs a lot of money, right? Actually, there is no need to waste it like this."
Liu Hongying smiled and said, "It doesn't cost any money. Jinpeng Shopping Mall is all Big Brother's property. As long as it doesn't delay the normal business of the merchants here, we can set up a private room anywhere we want."
Tang Ru opened her mouth and looked at Li Lizhen in surprise.
Li Lizhen explained: "Hongmin is the major shareholder of Jinpeng Company. There is another shareholder who is the general manager. However, he only invested in the company for management purposes and did not contribute money."
Tang Ru was shocked. As far as she knew, Jinpeng Company now had three shopping malls. "Doesn't that mean Big Brother will get tens of millions?"
Li Lizhen smiled and shook her head, "We have invested several hundred million."
"So many?" Tang Ru almost choked on her own saliva.
"Not much!" Li Lizhen said, "This money all came from the investment in the toy factory."
"Toy factory?" Tang Ru was stunned. "Isn't this money from big brother?"
"The toy factory is also his! It mainly produces Transformers toys. You should know Transformers, right?"
Tang Ru nodded woodenly. She felt that no matter how big the news was, she would not be surprised anymore.
"My younger brother has always wanted a Transformer, but my family has never bought it for him because they have to support my education."
Liu Hongying said, "Second sister-in-law, where is your home? I'll have someone mail a set to him."
Tang Ru subconsciously said: "No, it's too expensive..."
Before she finished speaking, she came to her senses. A set of Transformers cost more than 1,000 yuan, which is indeed a huge sum of money for an ordinary family. But in the Liu family, it might not be worth as much as a bag.
Thinking of this, she stopped organizing and said, "Thank you for mentioning my brother."
Liu Hongying waved her hand, "Second sister-in-law, it's too formal for you to say that. Your brother is my brother."
Tang Ru felt relieved inexplicably. Ever since she knew that Liu Hongjun's family was so well-off, she had always felt that she was not worthy of him. But now that she saw that Liu Hongjun's family was so kind to her, she also put down the burden in her heart a little.
At this moment, the mall suddenly became lively. The three of them quickly looked towards the stage and saw the host walking up.
"Hello, audience friends... Let's enjoy "Crescent Moon."
