Everyone was secretly sighing in their hearts - it's really good to be rich!

The place was decorated luxuriously, with precious porcelain, jade artifacts, and other ornaments everywhere.

The cost of this massive banquet hall alone probably matched the total price of an ordinary large building.

"Oh my, this little porcelain vase on my table is actually from the Ming dynasty! I saw a similar one on an online auction last time, and it went for a high price of eight hundred thousand!"

"That's nothing, see the painting on the wall behind me? Look at those shrimps. Don't they look lifelike? Like they're alive? That's right, it's definitely an authentic piece by Mr. Qi Baishi! Oh my, seeing a genuine work by Qi Baishi in my lifetime, I feel like I could die without regrets!"

"Look at that painting over there. That's a famous piece by the Spanish artist Picasso - 'Peace Dove.' I'm really impressed! Xu Hao is truly wealthy. This 'Peace Dove,' if I remember correctly, was auctioned for ten million."

"Picasso actually has many famous paintings, but did you know he's also a sculptor? Look over there; I swear that's definitely a masterpiece by Picasso!"

The banquet hall was filled with exclamations.

Everyone who could attend this event was a prominent figure in Huadu or the surrounding cities, with wealth that others could only envy.

Yet here, they were all envious of Xu Hao's financial power.

If asked to buy one or two of the precious artworks here, they could certainly afford it.

But the artworks here aren't just one or two pieces;

there are at least hundreds!

This could almost be considered a small museum, specifically for collecting world-class precious artworks!

Who among the guests wasn't amazed?

It's really quite incredible!

How can he be this wealthy?

Listening to the others praise the expensive artworks Xu Hao had splurged on, Chen Suyi felt increasingly irritated.

Although Chen Hai's words earlier made her realize how hard Xu Hao had worked, the fact that Xu Hao hadn't come to see her yet made her feel very displeased.

Wherever Chen Suyi went, she was always a proud swan among the people.

But here with Xu Hao, she had become an unnoticed ugly duckling.

This huge psychological contrast made her extremely uncomfortable, possibly even bred some resentment out of love.

Sitting next to her, Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly whispered, "Sister Suyi, why do I feel like something's off with you? You seem a bit melancholic, like one of those complaining women..."

"Oh, shut up! You little brat, if you can't speak nicely then keep your mouth shut!" Chen Suyi, having had her thoughts exposed, immediately took out her anger on Chu Xiaoxiao and began tickling her.

Chen Hai and Chu Yunlong exchanged glances, smiling without saying anything.

They could almost guess what Chen Suyi was thinking; she felt neglected by Xu Hao.

But both of them were savvy veterans and certainly wouldn't personally remind her; instead, they just enjoyed the show from the sidelines.

After all, it was a matter of their daughter's feelings, and Chen Hai didn't want to intervene too much.

...

Xu Hao, having long left the headquarters, had no idea that Chen Suyi was now "wrestling" with Chu Xiaoxiao because of him.

He was driving and said, "It's a pity that Jiang Xuezhun can't come for now; otherwise, our battle with Dior would be even more exciting." Sourced directly from *.

Qin Yao sighed, "Jiang Xuezhun has been transferred to another city. She originally wanted to get transferred to Huadu, her grandpa had already arranged it, but she suddenly changed her mind and said she wouldn't come to find you. I don't know what this girl is thinking."

Although Qin Yao, Liu Ruyan, and Chen Suyi were actually less than two years older than Jiang Xuezhun, they always felt the need to act like older sisters to her, since Jiang Xuezhun's maturity was not much better than Anna's.

Xu Hao said, "Actually, it's pretty normal. Although Xuezhu is carefree, she's quite ambitious..."

"What? You think we're not ambitious enough? Fine, we'll move out immediately and go venture out too," Qin Yao said abruptly.

Xu Hao felt helpless.

Previously, Qin Yao had many reservations while interacting with him, but now that they could finally get along normally, this sudden change made Xu Hao feel a bit uneasy.

Although Xu Hao knew this was the normal way for boyfriends and girlfriends to interact, when Qin Yao transformed from a gentle wife to someone who occasionally got jealous and argued with him, he felt a bit uncomfortable.

However, as Xu Hao contemplated, he couldn't help but feel a bit self-mocking,
