Chapter 54: Handsome older brother, I will definitely take him down

Fortunately, no.

"But we have a rocket and a spaceship currently under construction."

XiaoMo said calmly and truthfully.

An offhand remark from XiaoMo left Yuchun dazed for a long while.

"Dad, Daddy, you, you're just teasing me, right?" After a while, Yuchun recovered from her shock and asked tentatively.

"You're definitely teasing me; you said you had one or two helicopters, which I could barely accept, but rockets and spaceships? That's too exaggerated." Yuchun comforted herself, saying: "Yes, you're just teasing me."

"Have you heard of Tesla?" Xiao Ming asked his daughter patiently.

"Yeah, I've heard of it; it's a very impressive company that researches electric vehicles and various electric powers."

Yuchun replied with a dazed, cute look.

"Well, I'm on good terms with Tesla's CEO."

"It was a chance encounter; I met Tesla's CEO when his electric cars were selling like hotcakes. I never expected he'd pour his heart and soul into investing in an aerospace technology company."

Xiao Ming recalled: 'Back then, Tesla's old boss told me that after he retired, he'd go to the moon to enjoy ten thousand years, showing how ambitious he was. I felt a bit unconvinced, and after his urging, I also invested a lot of money.'

"Strictly speaking, isn't that just our family's rocket and spaceship? The spaceship is still under construction, but the rocket has already been built; the manufacturer says it will launch soon. Recently, Tesla's old boss contacted me and asked me to give that rocket a name."

Xiao Ming said this in a light and carefree manner.

But Yuchun was left dumbfounded.

Her dad actually wasn't teasing her.

Good heavens, a rocket and spaceship.

Yuchun was so shocked she stared blankly for two full minutes before snapping out of it, astonished she stared at Xiao Ming and gave him a thumbs-up: 'Dad, you're incredibly powerful.'

"By the way, Dad, with all your wealth, shouldn't you be careful when you go out? I haven't seen you with any bodyguards."

On TV, wealthy people going out always have a bunch of bodyguards, don't they?

Xiao Ming chuckled happily, then gave a playful smile and asked Yuchun: 'What do you think?'

"You mean, there are bodyguards?"

Yuchun understood Xiao Ming's expression, hurriedly glanced around, and muttered bewilderedly: 'I don't see any!'

"Hehehe, silly girl, if you could just casually know they were there, they'd be the ultimate bodyguards." Xiao Ming said calmly: "Don't worry, I always have bodyguards when I go out, and you three siblings do too—I arranged them for you the moment we recognized each other."

"You just haven't noticed them."

Xiao Ming walked over to Yuchun, affectionately patted her little head, and said: 'Go call Jingrou to the study; let the three of us fathers and daughters have a drink and a chat.'

"Yes, sir." Yuchun happily ran upstairs to Jingrou's room, while saying to Lin Xiao Xiao on the video: "Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, did you hear that? My dad, no, wait, I meant my father—the one who can afford to build rockets and spaceships—if you want to take down my old man, you'll have to step up your game."

……

After a while, Lin Xiao Xiao on the video side fell silent, then spoke firmly: 'Handsome older brother, I will definitely take him down.'

……

At the same moment, after Yun Zhe and his girlfriend Jing Shu's parents were escorted to their room, they then went to their own room.

Staying in the luxurious master bedroom, Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua both stood dazed in the center of the room; even now, their hearts were still shaken.

"Tianhua, look at that painting hanging there—isn't it a famous work?" After a few minutes of silence, Sun Xuehua pointed at a painting on the wall and asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's an ancient painting, very famous." Geng Tianhua looked at it, startled, and instinctively pulled his wife back a step: "We need to pay attention; everything in this room looks priceless to me—don't carelessly bump into something."

He truly felt what it meant to be wealthy; in this room, even a random item could be worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions—he had genuinely broadened his horizons.

Too extravagant.

This bedroom, this villa.

Xiao Ming, simply rich to the point of having no friends.

Afterward, Geng Tianhua and his wife went to the bathroom, took a nice, comfortable bath, put on the high-end pajamas prepared by the servants, and as they left the bathroom, a servant brought over another bowl of turtle soup.

Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua were completely won over.

"Our in‑law is truly filthy rich—rich and willful," Geng Tianhua exclaimed.

"Hmph, who keeps saying the Wen family is wealthy and formidable, thinking our in‑law can't compare to Wen Fengshu?" Sun Xuehua sneered.

"Hehe, it's not that—our in‑law is just too low‑key; who'd have thought he's that wealthy?" Geng Tianhua chuckled.

"Yun Zhe said his dad is forty‑two, older than us two by quite a bit, but look at his ability—having lived less than half his life, he's already amassed a fortune of millions and become a life winner. Yet why have I never heard his name on the rich‑list?"

Geng Tianhua works in PR, constantly dealing with wealthy people, someone with some status; he may not say he's familiar, but at least he knows the names—yet he's never heard of Xiao Ming.

"Because our in‑law keeps a low profile, I see he not only has people but also excellent character."

Sun Xuehua continued, her eyes full of infatuation; she took a sip of the turtle soup and instantly felt her whole body relax.

"This soup isn't cheap, after all—our in‑law's household expenses run into the tens of thousands for even trivial things." Geng Tianhua joked: "On that luxurious big bed, can you even sleep? We'll probably be up all night."

"As for that, you." Sun Xuehua sat on the soft bed and said: "Jing Shu is carrying a child of the Xiao family; in the future, won't that child have to inherit the family's business? We will forever be the child's great‑grandparents, the parents of the in‑law's daughter‑in‑law."

Just thinking about it, Sun Xuehua's heart couldn't help but surge with excitement.

"That's for sure." As soon as he said that, Geng Tianhua felt his spine straighten considerably.

However, dealing with a big family like the Xiao clan puts considerable pressure on their small household.

……

Not only Geng Tianhua and Sun Xuehua felt they'd lose sleep.

Yun Zhe and Jing Shu, staring at the ceiling, were completely sleepless; by now they felt everything was like a dream.

After gazing at the ceiling for a while, Jing Shu got up, stared at the jewelry set taken down and placed on the dressing table, and fell into a daze.
