"Given such a gift, Mom really wants to meet Mr. Lorraine. He must be very rich, right?"
"Well... how should I put it?"
Kaoru Amakawa stammered, seemingly unsure how to explain herself.
You say Lorraine is rich? Indeed, the wealth in his ring is probably more than the world's richest man.
But if you say he's poor, then Lorraine really doesn't have much money to his name; he's dirt poor.
——
Lorraine's so-called wealth is basically all based on high-value rare items, such as gold. Although Lorraine has some, it's mostly just sitting in his warehouse collecting dust; he's reluctant to use it.
in addition.
In modern society, converting large amounts of gold into banknotes is not an easy task.
Lorraine certainly had some special channels, but for him, once the banknotes of this world were transported, they would be nothing but worthless paper. Gold, at least, was considered hard currency, and the two were simply incomparable.
Even if one or two taels of gold could be exchanged for a billion RMB.
For him, it was equivalent to exchanging one or two taels of gold for ten tons of mud.

"Xunzi, what's wrong? Is there anything about Mr. Lorraine that your mother can't know? Please, you two are getting married, I'm not an outsider, and I'm not against you or anything."
“Lorraine... well, I don’t know if he’s rich or poor.”
"What, is he using Schrödinger's cat coin?"
"That's roughly the idea."
"What kind of job does he do now? He's probably the chairman of some super-large company, or a domineering CEO, right?"
"He... he's a homeless man."
"ah?"
Madam Tianchuan was stunned for a few seconds. "What do you mean? So he doesn't even have a place to live? Isn't he supposed to live in one of those luxurious villas?"
"He set up a tent deep in the mountains and forests."
"Set up the tent..."
That moment.
Kaoru Amakawa clearly saw her mother's face flashing with all sorts of colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple…
Madam Tianchuan tried her best to remain calm.
"Xunzi, you really know how to joke with your mother, haha."
"No, that's just how Lorraine is."
"How could a penniless homeless man possibly produce such an expensive ring???"
"Yes, what's wrong? Is it strange?"
Isn't that strange?
Madam Tianchuan gestured, showing off the ring in her hand, "It's like a beggar driving a Lamborghini, and everyone around him looks at it as if it's perfectly normal. Do you know how much this kind of ring is worth? It's something that our family couldn't afford for several generations, dozens of generations, or even hundreds of generations. Just look at the craftsmanship and all the gemstones on it..."
"Oh dear, this was something someone worked hard to make themselves."
"Make it yourself..."
Madam Tianchuan's expression became even more interesting. "You mean the beggar built a Lamborghini entirely by hand, right?"
That's how it is.
"What the hell! You're making a fool of your mother."
"Well, that's just how it is, so if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it."
Madam Tianchuan said with a serious expression, "Xunzi, if it weren't for the photos you took at the beach still on the coffee table, I would know that Mr. Lorraine is a real person. I would definitely send you to a mental hospital for a checkup."
"......"
“Every word you say now makes me feel like my intelligence is being insulted, but the facts are undeniable and I have no choice but to believe them.”
“Lorraine’s situation is very complicated, Mom. I can’t tell you everything because it involves many important things. Also… I hope you will keep Lorraine’s situation a secret from all outsiders.”
"A hidden storyline of a down-on-his-luck CEO?"
"Mom, please watch less melodramatic TV dramas!"
"I see, it's the setting of a foreign prince fleeing war, right!"
"What nonsense!"
"Could they be aliens? Or time travelers? It's okay, Kaoru. Mom has seen and heard a lot. I can handle any amount of information! You have to trust Mom!"
"this……"
"He's a future son-in-law, after all. Mom would never do anything to harm him! When are you going to bring him over so Mom can meet him? It's okay if he doesn't have a house, he can live with us! It's okay if he doesn't have a job, Mom will earn money to support him!"
"???"
Kaoru Amakawa felt that her mother was starting to ramble incoherently. "Mom, he's my lover. How can you earn money to support him?"
"It's fine, raising one is the same as raising two, it doesn't matter."
"I will go out to work in the future too."
"What about the son-in-law?"
"He... he should have his own things to do, just let him take care of the family. Anyway, his cooking skills are world-class. You'll know if you've ever tried it, Mom. He has some secret recipes that make his dishes incredibly fragrant, like they've been enhanced with something special. You'll want to keep eating them, it's so addictive, it's intoxicating."
"As expected, it's a hidden master setting! Mom knew it... Hahaha, Xunzi, you've struck gold! Mom is so happy for you."
"......."
"Bring it back quickly so Mom can get to know it properly."
"this……"
"Love requires initiative and effort. Don't always expect men to take the initiative. Be bolder, and things will progress much faster. Listen to your mother, you can't go wrong!"
