Chapter 8 - My happy mother.

Wooosh!

Long Aotian grabbed the hand, twisted it, and threw the phone away.

"You... You... You..." The old man fumed.

He doesn't know what to say. He only wanted a simple apology. Is that too much? This young man is simply too arrogant!

Aotian didn't bother with this man, with a slap, he knocked him out. His focus was entirely on this woman.

"Ahem* Ahem* let's introduce ourselves politely. We are all educated people here no need to act rough." Long Aotian smiled as he lifted Wei Xue.

Wei Xue felt a wave of shame hit her as she felt a warm hand on her soft skin. It felt as if someone was peeling her clothes and looking at her naked body.

She wanted to cuss this man but he was powerful and she dared not voice her inner thoughts. She didn't wanted to be beaten.

"Ahh..."

She couldn't help but let out a gasp as she felt his warm body against hers, his hands on her waist. She could smell his cologne, and her heart raced.

"G-Get away from me!" she yelled, slapping his hand away. Her face was red with embarrassment and anger. How can he touch her waist, if she hadn't pushed him away, his hands would have gone lower.

In her eyes, this person was a pervert taking advantage of a helpless woman.

Long Aotian shrugged and released her. It was a complete mistake okay.

Nevertheless, he didn't wanna escalate the matter.

"Listen, it's your fault, if you don't know how to drive then let the AI drive. I am magnanimous, I shall forgive you, the matter ends here," saying that he walked away.

This is clearly a self-entitled, proud female lead, who thinks she is a princess and the whole world revolves around her.

Wei Xue stared at the departing back of Long Aotian. She felt a mix of anger and humiliation coursing through her veins.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms.

"I'll make you pay for this, you bastard!" she hissed, her voice low and venomous. Tears welled up in her eyes as she remembered the shame.

When was she embarrassed like this? This is a challenge to her authority.

However, the matter at the hand is to check after her father. He must have gotten hurt when he fell down.

It seems that man's strength was abnormal. He must have a rogue background. Such inferior people can only think of doing things by violence. They hit anyone smarter and richer than them because such people make them feel insecure.

Regardless, she needs to report this to her family. They will definitely handle it. Her father was beaten in broad daylight, how can this matter be easily dismissed?

Just as she was about to call the emergency services, the man woke up. He got up and checked his body, feeling a bit dizzy.

"D-Dad! Are you okay?" Wei Xue asked, her voice filled with concern as she helped her father up. She quickly checked him for any injuries, her heart racing with worry.

The old man nodded. "I'm fine, I'm fine. That young man's strength is quite impressive," he said, rubbing his jaw. "But we can't let him get away with this. We must take action." His eyes narrowed as he looked at Wei Xue, who was still shaken.

Like daughter, like father.

Wei Xue nodded, her eyes blazing with determination. "Yes, Father. We can't let him humiliate us like this. I want him to pay for what he's done," she said, her voice firm. "He needs to learn his lesson."

***

Long Aotian had already stopped paying attention to the father and daughter. They were but clowns, whether they wanted revenge or not was irrelevant.

His thoughts had shifted elsewhere.

Had Ye Chen descended from the mountain yet?

Judging by the standard script, the so-called Medical Saint would appear as a driver, bodyguard, or low-level employee beside one of his fiancées. Wei Xue fit the profile perfectly

Arrogant, sheltered, and convinced the world revolved around her. A classic starting female lead. The woman with princess syndrome.

Since she was being accompanied by her father, it's safe to assume Ye Chen likely hadn't appeared yet.

Of course, there were exceptions. Some versions of the Medical Saint enjoyed hiding as a security guard or company doctor.

Either way, the answer was simple. Female Health and Skin Corporation. If Ye Chen had descended, he would be there.

It's also completely possible for Wei Xue not to be a starting female lead. And Ye Chen may only appear when the company is on the verge of bankruptcy or the birthday of the old grandfather, who has heart disease.

If only the system were a little more useful.

But the system is like a dumb AI, it only gives a simple description without giving the whole picture. It is like knowing that there is a tiger but not knowing how big it is or how ferocious it is.

Long Aotian hailed a taxi back to his shabby house.

Most of the items he had purchased were already on the way, with only the car and the Frozen Time watch missing.

That was normal. Ultra-luxury assets couldn't be delivered immediately.

The dealership and watchmaker would handle registration, tax filing, and compliance as proxies. Once everything was cleared, the car and watch would be delivered directly under his name.

It would take a few days at most. Regulations like this only applied to luxury goods priced above one hundred million.

If he insisted on taking them immediately, he would have to deal with municipal paperwork himself. Other rich men had lawyers to handle such things. He didn't.

Being rich without having a lawyer is shit.

"Son... You have purchased so many things, where do you get the money!?" His mother exclaimed, her voice full of shock and confusion.

He was always the responsible one. Where would he get so much money? Had he done something illegal?

A surge of worry and concern filled her heart. She hoped that he hadn't gotten involved in anything dangerous. She couldn't lose him. He was all she had.

Long Aotian smiled gently. He couldn't explain the system to her. Even if he did, she wouldn't understand.

"Mother I told you, I have made a lot of money by trading. I am called a genius," he said calmly. "So don't worry about the money. I have more than enough."

His mother's eyes widened in disbelief. How could he earn so much money just by trading? Was he some kind of investment god?

"Son, is there something you are not telling me?" she asked, her voice laced with doubt. "I can't believe you earned this much just by trading." She sighed, shaking her head. "You have always been the honest one. I just can't understand how you could make so much."

Long Aotian shook his head. She was a simple woman, without a hint of greed. She lived contentedly.

"Mother did you check all the items? I have purchased a few jewellery and a watch for you," he said. "It's a gift for you. I hope you will like it."

His mother looked at him, her eyes shining with happiness. She didn't care about the price of the items. She only cared about his thoughtfulness.

She had always dreamed of her son becoming successful one day. And now, that dream had come true. He was living a good life. She couldn't be happier for him.

"Son, I'm just happy to see you happy," she said with a warm smile. "You don't need to spend so much on me. I'm already happy with what I have." She added, her tone soft.

Long Aotian chuckled.

"Nonsense, you deserve the best. You are the most important woman in my life." He said sincerely, his eyes shining with love and affection. A man watching a woman.

His mother's face turned red with embarrassment. She hadn't expected such heartfelt words from her son. She felt her heart flutter at his sincerity.

"Stop it, you're making me blush," she said, playfully hitting his arm. "I'm just happy to see you living a good life. That's all the gift I need." She smiled warmly.

Long Aotian felt a surge of warmth in his heart. His mother was truly a blessing in his life. He was lucky to have her.

He wanted to give her everything she deserved.

"Mother, wear the watch... It will look beautiful on you." he came forward and began to check the items. Soon he founded the watch and gave her.

He then gave her a necklace. "This is a rare jewel, it will be even more beautiful on your skin." he said in a relaxed tone.

"Try it out."

His mother blushed. She wasn't used to such lavish gifts, but she couldn't deny the excitement that bubbled within her.

She took the necklace and examined it closely. It was exquisite, with a rare gemstone that glimmered in the light. She had never seen anything like it before.

"Son, this is too much," she said, her eyes wide with disbelief. "I can't accept this. It's too expensive." She shook her head, trying to hand it back to him.

Long Aotian gently pushed her hand away. "Mother, please. You deserve the best," he said, his tone firm. "I want you to have this. It's just a small token of my appreciation for everything you've done for me."

His mother looked into his eyes, seeing the sincerity and determination there. She knew that arguing further would be pointless.

With a soft sigh, she relented. "Okay, if you insist," she said, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "Thank you, son. This means a lot to me."
