Chapter 41 Extravagant Spending

"Silly Yao, hurry up and go inside and call your sister Xin Xin and Xiao Mu Ke out. I'll take you guys out to have some fun!"

"Heh, you're trying to trick me into going back so you can sneak away, right?"

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

"Then I'll go call them?"

"Go quickly!"

He Xie urged Gu Xinyao.

Gu Xinyao wasted no time and turned around to run into the orphanage to call her sisters out.

Not long after, the three younger sisters came out.

Song Yuxin: "Brother, why did you suddenly decide to take us out to play?"

He said, "Don't ask, the answer is I'm a sister-complex."

Mr. He: "No problem, I'll hold it until you throw up."

[Contrast value from Li Muke +666.]

[Character design completion rate: 30%]

After fleecing his three younger sisters, He Xie picked up young Li Muke and left.

Seeing this, the other two younger sisters followed with smiles on their faces.

Just then, Liu Yan, who was sweeping fallen leaves in the yard, grumbled indignantly, "You little rascal, you've forgotten your aunt now that you have a little sister, haven't you? Why aren't you as nice to me as you used to be?"

You're even jealous of kids, that's amazing!

He Xie thought to himself that his adoptive mother was contemptuous, then turned to her and said, "Walking is tiring, Aunt Liu. You should just rest at home. I'll definitely bring you a gift when I come back. I won't buy anything that isn't expensive."

[Contrast value from Liu Yan: +666.]

"Clang—"

A window in the orphanage was pushed open forcefully.

The next moment, Zhao Keying, wearing pajamas, poked her head out and called out, "Brother, where am I?"

"Everyone gets a share, everyone gets a share. Sis, you can just relax and sleep in."

"Brother, I love you~, mua!"

"What's the point of kissing thin air? If you're so capable, come and kiss me face to face."

Zhao Keying: "?"

Liu Yan: "???"

Song Yuxin: "!!!"

Gu Xinyao: "?"

Li Muke: "Aba aba aba..."

[The contrast value from the crowd is +123 +456 +789 +654 +321.]

......

After leaving the orphanage, the four siblings quickly arrived at the commercial street.

Wandering around here and there.

They all look quite happy.

When they passed by a popular cake shop, Li Muke and Gu Xinyao were immediately captivated and couldn't move.

The cakes inside looked delicious to them.

Gu Xinyao asked, "He Xie, Xiao Muke wants to eat cake, can you buy it for her?"

Haha, are you sure it's not something you want to eat?

He Xie mentally scoffed, then glanced at the price of the cake.

Holy crap, a cake the size of a palm is going to sell for three figures?

Why don't you just rob it?

Trendy online foods are simply a pure waste of money.

After thinking it over, He Xie decisively refused, saying, "The price is too high, and the cost performance is too low. Buy it from me."

Then, he looked at the fruit stand across the street and said:

"How about we buy some bananas?"

"Bananas are cheap and delicious, and they are rich in essential nutrients that are good for your health."

Gu Xinyao pouted, looking disgusted, and said:

"The bananas are so soft and mushy, even dogs won't eat them."

"You like hard food, right?"

"Don't move from here. I'll go ahead and pick up some hard rocks for you to eat your fill."

After saying that, He Xie started walking away, seemingly determined to go ahead and pick up stones.

Seeing this, Gu Xinyao immediately played the victim:

"Thank you, other people's kids have endless snacks every day."

"As someone my age, I haven't eaten snacks for almost a year, and I can only eat meat once every few days."

"I'm still young, I can't handle all this, I'll become depressed if this continues."

Young Li Muke, standing to the side, had no idea what depression meant.

But seeing her sister say that, she quickly joined in, playing the victim:

"Brother Crab, I...I'm getting depressed too."

He Xie listened with a speechless expression. The sun had only been up for a short while this morning, and you guys were already getting depressed?

What if it's midnight?

Song Yuxin couldn't stand it anymore.

She squatted down and said to her two younger sisters:

"The cakes here are too expensive. Our family isn't doing too well right now, so let's just buy bananas instead."

"But... Sister Xin Xin, I... I really want to eat cake."

Li Muke was still young and didn't know what it meant for her family to be poor.

She just wanted to eat cake.

Seeing that his two younger sisters really wanted to eat cake, He Xie finally chose to compromise and said:

"I can buy the cake, but I'll have to buy it from a store with more reasonable prices."

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy it."

After saying that, he walked forward, remembering that there was a reasonably priced cake shop there.

Although he is now a millionaire, he doesn't like to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on overpriced trendy products.

This would make him feel like his intelligence was being brutally humiliated by the merchants.

On the other side.

The three younger sisters were shocked to find that their older brother was actually willing to spend money to buy them a cake.

He Xie smiled inwardly when he saw the notification message that flashed through the depths of his mind.

It seems the money spent on the cake was well worth it.

......

After buying the cake a short while later.

The siblings continued to wander around the streets.

When they passed by a traditional Chinese style jewelry store, Song Yuxin and Gu Xinyao's eyes lit up immediately, and without thinking, they went in hand in hand.

He Xie carried the exhausted and asleep Li Muke and silently followed behind the two of them.

Stepping into the vintage jewelry store, you'll find a dazzling array of goods.

There are hairpins, hair ornaments, hair clips, and hair rings.

There are hair ornaments with dangling ornaments, phoenix crowns, brocade ornaments, and hair ornaments.

There are also flat hairpins, combs, and so on.

There are many styles available, and they are very comprehensive.

The only downside is that it's a bit pricey.

The cheapest ones start at three or four hundred.

The more expensive ones can even sell for tens of thousands of yuan.

After seeing the price, the two sisters didn't even dare to touch it, only admiring it from across the counter.

He Xie was also walking around and looking around when he was soon drawn to a delicate hair ornament in the counter.

That hairpin was made of jade and carved with lotus patterns; it was very beautiful.

Of course, the price is also very high.

Priced in yuan.

It means "I love you for a lifetime".

This is a very clever price tag, which is quite appealing to women.

He Xie is now a millionaire, and a price of just over ten thousand is not a big burden for him.

He felt that this hair ornament was very suitable for his adoptive mother.

Without thinking too much, I directly said to the saleswoman at the counter, "Hello, may I have this hair ornament taken out so I can take a look?"

The young woman glanced at He Xie.

She was dressed very simply.

She's not very old either.

They don't seem like customers who can afford to pay tens of thousands of yuan.

This put her in a somewhat awkward position.

She was a little unsure, so she looked at the boss not far away and asked him for help with her eyes.

The boss understood immediately and quickly came over.

He glanced at He Xie briefly, then his eyes lit up instantly. He quickly took out the hairpin from the counter and said enthusiastically:

"You have excellent taste, handsome guy. This hair ornament is a new product in the shop, and it's handmade."

"Look at this exquisite lotus carving. The craftsmanship is superb, and it's at the level of a master craftsman."

"And this hair ornament paired with the jade lotus—such a perfect combination! Any woman who sees it will fall in love with it and wish she could wear it every day..."

A hairpin dangling with a shameless act? Have you no shame?

He Xie thought about it and felt it was a bit inappropriate, so he turned his attention to the same hair ornament next to him.

Same price.

Same appearance.

The only difference is that the carving on it is not a lotus flower, but a lily.

A hair ornament with lilies? No lilies?

This hair ornament is great.

Thinking it over, He Xie pointed to the hairpin carved with lilies and said, "Boss, wrap this hairpin up for me, I want to buy this one."

These words had quite a impact.

His two younger sisters and the young lady next to the boss were completely dumbfounded.

My older brother (this boy) actually bought this hair ornament that costs over ten thousand yuan?

Where would they get the money to buy it?

[Song Yuxin's contrast value +999.]

[Contrast value from Gu Xinyao +999.]

[Contrast value from Fang Feifei: +999.]

In contrast to the three, the shop owner did not seem surprised by this.

His face remained warm.

After replying "okay" to He Xie, she took out an exquisite wooden box and put the hairpin inside.

Then, I asked the saleswoman next to me to package it and make it look more exquisite and beautiful.

"Brother, that hair ornament costs over ten thousand yuan."

Song Yuxin tugged at He Xie's clothes, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in his ear.

She was unaware that He Xie was now a millionaire.

All I know is that my family is so poor we're almost starving.

Where did they get 10,000 yuan to buy this hair ornament?

He Xie noticed her confusion but did not offer any explanation.

Instead, he took out the Lin's Trading Company's premium VIP membership card from his system inventory and handed it to the boss in front of him, saying, "Boss, use this card later."

The boss was immediately shocked when he saw it.

Holy crap!

Lin's Trading Company's premium VIP member!

This person is either rich or noble!

[Contrast value from Zhang Ronggui: +999.]

The two younger sisters looked on in bewilderment, not knowing what the membership card represented.

He Xie looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "You two should hurry up and pick one out, or you won't get another chance."

Upon hearing this, the two younger sisters, though unaware of the current situation, did not ask further questions and quickly each picked out a piece of jewelry they liked.

They didn't dare to choose anything too expensive; they only picked the cheapest ones under a thousand yuan.

Since the adoptive mother and two younger sisters already have children, it's only natural that the older sister and the third younger sister would also need children.

He Xie looked around the counter and carefully selected two more hairpins.

This is a gift for Zhao Keying and Li Muke.

[Character design completion rate: 80%]

After paying the bill quickly, He Xie left with his three younger sisters.

At this moment, the saleswoman in the store looked at the owner and asked, "Boss, how did you know that the young man just now had the purchasing power?"

Do you know what Hangzai's current biological level is?

The boss looked at the young lady, smiled, and asked.

Hangzai is his son, a graduating senior at Shanhai No.1 High School this year.

The young woman thought for a moment and replied, "If I remember correctly, I just evolved to the ordinary ninth rank last month, and I've already been recommended to Kyoto Evolution University."

"Let me tell you this: the surge of qi and blood in that boy's body was more than ten times more exaggerated than that of my Hangzai."

After saying that, the boss went back to his office to rest.

The young woman was left standing there alone, stunned, thinking she had misheard.
