I Am A Prodigy 85 Your Son No Longer Lacks Money

Xu Zhen took out the bracelet. 

Su Ya put it on, and her face lit up in pleasure as she held it up in front of Xu Zhen's gaze. "Xu Zhen, what do you think? Does it look good on me? Gifts that my son gives me are just not the same! He's finally earned enough to spend on his mother." 

"It does look good." Xu Zhen nodded. 

Suddenly, at that moment, her entire body froze. She looked at the entrance of Kai Yuan Jade Ware. 

She thought that her eyes were fooling her, and she could not help but rub her eyes. 

"Ling… Lingchen? How are you back?" She asked as she looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief. 

"Mom! I had some errands to run and was passing by, so I popped in to see you." Ye Lingchen said with a smile. 

He had seen everything that had just happened, and he felt remorseful. He had never bought anything for his parents. 

"Xu Zhen, is this your son? He's fairly good looking." Su Ya looked at Ye Lingchen, before continuing, "Today isn't a weekend. Is he skipping class?" 

"As far as I know, it isn't rare to skip class in university. Therefore it makes me feel even more certain that going to university is a waste of time!" Chu Yuan immediately spoke up. It was rare for him to flaunt in front of a talent from Capital University. 

Forgetting himself, he continued, "Since he's back, I think he has run out of money for living expenses, and he's back to ask for more!" 

"Wow, he's already at university and he's still asking for money. I heard that a lot of university students still ask for money even after they've found a job. They really are babies who never grow up, I pity the parents of the world!" Su Ya said with a sigh. 

In the store, quite a few heads nodded in agreement. 

"Who can deny that? These days parents only hope that their sons become dragons, and their daughter's phoenixes, and keep sending them for an education. But an education doesn't mean they'll get a good living!" 

"That's right! Not only is an education not an income, but it's a great expense! Children should just enter the workforce earlier." 

"I know someone, just to let their children study, they've sold their house and got their children through university with great difficulty. However, their children still haven't found a job, and the house has already appreciated by a few million!" 

"Wow, what a bad investment!" 

… 

Xu Zhen looked at Ye Lingchen, and asked out of concern, "Lingchen, are you short? Tell mom now." 

Ye Lingchen shook his head, "I just wanted to visit, but since I thought I never bought you and dad a proper gift, I decided to come in." 

"Silly boy, why spend that money?" Xu Zhen laughed. 

"Buy a gift?" Su Ya could not help but laugh snidely, "Spending your parent's money, and still buy them a tiny gift worth a few hundred RMB?" 

Ye Lingchen ignored her, "Mom, what's the most expensive jade piece here, can you show it to me?" 

The crowd looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief. 

Xu Zhen hesitated for a moment and brought out a jade bracelet. 

At first glance, the quality of the jade bracelet was far different from others. It was incomparably fine, without a single trace of any defects. Compared to the one on Su Ya's hand, it was like comparing a chicken to a phoenix.

"This jade bracelet… how much is it?" Su Ya's eyes were wide open. 

"This is the treasure of this store, and nobody in the town can afford it. It was only meant to be a showpiece, the price tag is RMB188,000." Xu Zhen said. 

Shhhh! 

Everybody in the shop gasped and stared at the bracelet. 

RMB188,000, this was an extreme statement piece, normal people would never even think of it. 

However- 

"I'll take it." 

The neutral tone made everyone's head turn, and their gazes fell on Ye Lingchen. 

This… he must be mad! 

Regardless of if he had money, even if he did, one should think before spending so much in an instant just to buy a jade bracelet unless they just had too much money and nowhere to spend it on! 

"You'll take it?" Su Ya looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief, and nearly laughed, "What do you have to take it? That's RMB188,000, not RMB18.80!" 

Ye Lingchen's face was deadpan, "Really? To me, 188,000 and 18.80 are no different." 

With that, he took out a card and passed it to Xu Zhen. 

"Mom, this is a gift for you. I'll pay by card." 

"This…" Xu Zhen was stunned, and looked at Ye Lingchen, speaking in a worried tone, "Lingchen, calm down, it's not worth it to spend this much!" 

"Mom, this is just a bit of filial piety from your son. Don't worry, I can make money now." Ye Lingchen looked into Xu Zhen's eyes, and continued, "Mom, don't you understand? I really do have money now." 

Xu Zhen took the card with much trepidation, she was moved and unwilling all at the same time. 

"That's enough Xu Zhen, stop pretending. You're a salesperson in this shop. You and your son are putting on a show!" Su Ya came to her senses, and could not help but laugh coldly. "We're all old schoolmates, how could I possibly not know about your situation? Why do you need to put up a show in front of me?" 

"That's right, how much can a university student make?" Chu Yuan added in disbelief. 

He claimed that he had opened a factory, but it was just a workshop with 5 staff in it. A year's profit was only roughly RMB100,000. It was already an extravagance for him to spend 10,000 on a jade bracelet, he did not even think about one that cost 180,000. 

Ye Lingchen did not speak. 

He swiped his card and entered his PIN. 

The POS device chimed lightly, and the receipt was printed. The payment was successful! 

This… 

The entire place was quiet. 

Su Ya's jaw very nearly hit the floor, her eyes wide. She was unable to say a single word. 

The fact that Ye Lingchen had that much money in his card was surprising enough, but what was even more surprising was that he actually paid! 

Jade ware was not like other places. Once payment was made, a refund was impossible! 

That was to say, the transaction was real! 

"Impossible! How could you have so much money?!" Su Ya ran over, and picked up the printed receipt of the POS device, and scrutinized it. 

The payment was for RMB188,000, and not a cent less! 

"Hello, is Mr. Ye here?" 

At that moment, a young lady dressed in the uniform of a server walked in. What drew the eye was that she carried a transparent box in her hands. Within the box was a golden pipe that shined so bright it hurt to look at!

"That will be me," said Ye Lingchen. 

The young lady walked over and spoke reverently. "Mr. Ye, good day. Here is the golden pipe you purchased, and your receipt for RMB 200,000. Please make sure you keep it." 

"Alright, thank you." 

"Mr. Ye, this is a VIP card from Da Sheng Goldware. Your next purchase is 10% off." 

"Hm." Ye Lingchen nodded. 

When the young lady left, the entire store was silent. 

They were all awed. 

Including Su Ya and Chu Yuan. 

What was originally a few whispered words of doubt was now completely silenced. 

Receipt, golden pipe, VIP card, any single one of them would be extremely attention-grabbing, and they might turn Su Ya blind. 

"Mom, I'll need to head home soon, this golden pipe is for dad, and you should wear the jade bracelet, it's good for you." Ye Lingchen smiled. 

"Lingchen, this…" tears formed in Xu Zhen's eyes, and she could no longer speak. 

"Mom, your son doesn't lack for money anymore, to the point that he can't spend it all…"
