I am not just a tycoon

"This is my sister, named Chen Xinyu."

"Xinyu, this is my friend Shen Yuan, say hello."

Chen Na introduced the two of them.

Their relationship wasn't defined, and Chen Na understood that, so she did not introduce him as her boyfriend.

Chen Xinyu was still a young girl, quite shy, and upon seeing this handsome young man, she stuttered without knowing quite how to begin.

Finally, it was Shen Yuan who broke the awkwardness, passing a box from the trunk: "This is a gift for you. Aren't you starting university in a month? I bought you a computer."

Shen Yuan had not only prepared gifts for Chen Na's parents but also knew she had a sister in her senior year of high school, so he asked Liew Menglu to buy an Apple MacBook14.

To him, it wasn't expensive, but for a student from an average family background, it was an unimaginable gift.

This MacBook cost at least over ten thousand!

Chen Xinyu was hesitant to accept it, casting an inquiring glance at Chen Na, and only after receiving an affirmative nod did she carefully take the computer.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, when you get into university, I'll give you a smartphone as well."

Shen Yuan said with a smile.

"Let's go upstairs!"

Holding the heaviest case of liquor, Shen Yuan let the two sisters carry the other gift boxes, and the trio climbed the stairs together.

"Nana, who is this?"

Yooi Shufen heard some noise and came out of the living room to find that something was off.

There stood a tall, unfamiliar young man at the door.

Moreover, he was holding a case of liquor, and her two daughters were also laden with items.

"This is..."

Chen Na was about to introduce him as a friend when Shen Yuan took over,

"Auntie, hello, I'm Chen Na's boyfriend, my name is Shen Yuan. You can just call me Shen."

Shen Yuan placed the liquor on the shoe cabinet by the door and greeted her warmly.

"Boyfriend?"

Yooi Shufen scrutinized Shen Yuan suspiciously and immediately pulled Chen Na aside at the stair corner, whispering, "Nana, what's going on? When did you get a boyfriend?"

Chen Na's face was covered with a sweet smile, completely oblivious to Yooi Shufen's question, because just now Shen Yuan had called himself her boyfriend.

She had always seen herself as a canary and had never expected to have a defined relationship, so Shen Yuan's unexpected claim filled her with surprise and joy.

Seeing her daughter's silly grin, Yooi Shufen was somewhat displeased, "Nana, could you at least say something?"

"Yes, he's my boyfriend,"

Chen Na said firmly.

"But he..."

"Alright, let's not leave my boyfriend hanging, let's go in and talk."

Chen Na, with a heart full of joy, walked into the house and proudly introduced Shen Yuan to her father in the kitchen, pulling him by the hand, "Dad, I brought my boyfriend home."

"Boyfriend?"

Chen Yongxiang almost dropped the spatula in surprise, turning to see a young man with a decent appearance and casual clothes, though he seemed a bit young.

Shen Yuan nodded slightly, "Uncle, hello, my name is Shen Yuan."

"Ah... hello, hello."

"Please have a seat."

Chen Yongxiang motioned Shen Yuan to sit on the sofa, instinctively wiping the sweat from his forehead with his apron.

What's going on here?

Nana already had a boyfriend, and yet there was another suitor in the house.

Gan Fengzhen also heard the words "boyfriend" and became somewhat unsettled, whispering to Yooi Shufen, "What's the situation? Nana has a boyfriend?"

Yooi Shufen spread her hands, "I have no idea!"

Gan Fengzhen was feeling overwhelmed, shooting glances at Dong Qitao, "This is going to be difficult."

"Sigh, let's just see how it goes."

Dong Qitao was still in shock; he came for a blind date, had a pleasant conversation with the girl, and her parents seemed satisfied with him, but the girl apparently had a boyfriend?

What the hell is this!

Gan Fengzhen approached to reassure him, "Dong, don't panic."

"Let's observe the situation. This guy looks pretty young, and being young means he may not be mature or financially capable, so Nana's parents might not agree to it."

Dong Qitao sighed silently, "We can only wait and see."

Shen Yuan placed all the gifts from the doorway on the dining table, and Chen Na called her parents over, "Mom, Dad, Shen Yuan brought you gifts, come and have a look."

Seeing the table filled with an array of gift boxes and liquor, Yooi Shufen and Chen Yongxiang couldn't help but widen their eyes.

My goodness, he really went all out!

"Uncle, I know you enjoy drinking, so I got you a bottle of 53-degree Feitian Maotai."

"I wasn't sure if you smoke, but I also bought 6 cartons of Hetianxia. If you don't smoke, you can keep them, and use them to give out cigarettes during the New Year."

As Shen Yuan was introducing the gifts, Dong Qitao sat on the sofa looking at the liquor, feeling a bit numb; 53-degree Feitian Maotai, although officially priced at 1499, was hard to purchase at that rate—he had bought two bottles for the New Year at at least 2800 each.

Damn, a whole case would cost at least 16000.

And with the 6 cartons of Hetianxia, the value of the liquor and cigarettes reached over 20000!

Damn, is it necessary to go this hard just for dating?

"Also, knowing you have high blood pressure, I got you Dendrobium catenatum and premium dried sea cucumber. Both can help control blood sugar and pressure, as well as improve immunity. Make sure to eat them often."

Shen Yuan pointed to the boxes on the table, introducing one by one, then he brought out the gift box from Chow Tai Fook: "This is for Auntie. Inside, there's gold jewelry, including a bracelet, a ring, a necklace, and earrings."

"They're all pure gold. You can wear them or keep them at home. After all, gold is always valuable, and who knows, it might appreciate over time."

"Ah..."

Yooi Shufen cautiously took the gift box and couldn't help but ask, "How much did all these cost?"

Shen Yuan waved his hand carelessly, "Not much money, the main thing is the thought. This box of gold jewelry is about sixty thousand. Including all the gifts, it's about a hundred thousand."

Yooi Shufen and Chen Yongxiang gasped in shock.

"Just around a hundred thousand...."

Listen to that, does that sound like something an ordinary person would say?

Chen Yongxiang came out of the kitchen and saw the Maotai, realizing it was no ordinary bottle. But it turned out the Maotai was just the beginning, and the man had spent over sixty thousand on Gold items alone!

Yooi Shufen was also stunned by the box of Gold items, still unable to process what had happened.

Just what kind of celestial boyfriend had Nana found herself?

Sitting on the sofa, Gan Fengzhen looked somewhat embarrassed. She truly didn't know that Nana had a boyfriend, and even Nana's parents were in the dark until this unexpected development—with Nana bringing home a boyfriend without a word.

If her boyfriend had been just satisfactory, Dong might still have stood a chance, but this boyfriend, at first glance, is no ordinary family at all!

Bringing gifts worth over a hundred thousand on the first visit, just what kind of background does he have?

Meanwhile, Dong Qitao's face turned even uglier. He had thought his gifts totaling over six thousand were already quite generous, yet the man's hundred thousand made him feel like a clown.

He couldn't help but inwardly blame the matchmaker for not understanding the situation properly!

"Qitao, don't panic. I will scout out the situation later. There's got to be more to this than meets the eye," she said.

Gan Fengzhen just managed to suss out a different flavor and leaned in to say, "Think about it, if he's such a wealthy boyfriend, why didn't Nana bring him home earlier or later, but specifically at this time?"

Dong Qitao immediately caught on, "Aunt Gan, are you saying that this boyfriend is a fake?"

It wasn't strange for Gan Fengzhen to have this thought because renting a boyfriend to bring home was actually quite common nowadays, with such videos routinely popping up.

Gan Fengzhen nodded thoughtfully, "That's a possibility, so I will try to probe his background later on."

"All right."

In truth, Dong Qitao didn't think this was a "fake" boyfriend because the gifts totaled over a hundred thousand. If it was really an act, that cost would be way too high.

Unless the tobacco and liquor were fake.

Seeing the gifts worth a full hundred thousand, Yooi Shufen looked at Shen Yuan with different eyes and couldn't resist asking, "You are called Shen... what is your name again?"

Shen Yuan smiled, "Aunt, my name is Shen Yuan, you can just call me Shen."

Yooi Shufen smiled sheepishly, "Ah, Shen, hello, you're really too courteous."

Yooi Shufen tried to appear calm on the surface, but her heart was overjoyed.

Who would have thought that such opulent wealth would finally come our way?

The sheer generosity of the gifting, clearly not ordinary riches!

Yooi Shufen even found herself ridiculous for being so easily swayed by Dong's six thousand-plus gifts earlier, only for Nana's boyfriend to instantly drop a hundred thousand!

"Shen, have a seat for a while, and we'll chat over dinner," she said.

Chen Yongxiang was somewhat more composed than his wife, inviting Shen Yuan to take a seat before returning to the kitchen to keep busy.

In his view, the financial status of his daughter's partner didn't matter; as long as his daughter liked him, that was the key.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing his daughter's happy and sweet demeanor just now, Chen Yongxiang felt she must have found someone she truly liked, which would account for such behavior.

With this in mind, Chen Yongxiang's face also revealed a faint smile as he cooked.

"Uh, Shen, hello, I am Nana's cousin on her mother's side," said Gan Fengzhen with a smile as she greeted him.

"Hello, cousin," replied Shen Yuan, nodding politely.

"You must be younger than Nana, right? How old are you this year?" Gan Fengzhen observed Shen Yuan for a moment. He was simply dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, with a clear and handsome face—a sure sign of youth.

"I'm 21," Shen Yuan replied honestly.

"Only 21, huh." Gan Fengzhen deliberately repeated it loudly.

She was even more convinced that this was an actor Nana had brought back. A 27-year-old woman, getting a boyfriend six years her junior, and on top of that, one who was incredibly wealthy.

Who would believe such a story?

Yooi Shufen heard this too. She wasn't great at guessing young people's ages, since 20-year-olds and 30-year-olds looked similar these days, with nearly identical dress and style. It mostly depended on personal style.

"Shen, I thought you were about the same age as our Nana," Yooi Shufen remarked.

"Aunt, age is not a problem. Nana and I truly love each other, and I hope you can bless us," Shen Yuan said, holding Chen Na's hand as he sat on the couch.

The moment Chen Na heard this, she felt her heart melt under Shen Yuan's warmth, her face brimming with happiness as she gazed at him.

All the effort of purchasing so many gifts, then driving over 200 kilometers to Ling County, and now declaring their relationship to her parents.

It was all for her….

Chen Na suddenly felt grateful for making the right decision back then.

Gan Fengzhen's lips twitched. The youth's acting skills were impressive indeed! She had sensed something was off and became even more certain after hearing his age—nothing but a hired actor, after all.

Even going as far as to say, "I hope you can bless us."

Nana herself seemed to be fully immersed in the role, joining in the performance.

Truly cunning!

It's entirely possible that the tobacco, liquor, and jewelry were all fake.

Throughout this, only Chen Xinyu was completely convinced.

She watched her sister and brother-in-law, seeing happiness and sweetness in their eyes and expressions, confirming that her sister and brother-in-law were truly in love!

She, too, had always longed for a passionate romance.

How she envied her sister….

Chen Xinyu couldn't help but take a few more looks at her brother-in-law. Compared to the man in the shirt and trousers from before, she actually preferred this brother-in-law with the boy-next-door charm.
