The observant Liu's mother noticed Liu Zitong's slightly trembling hands, as if she could sense her excitement and nervousness. So, she decisively took out a freshly unpacked cardboard box (number 17) from the side, containing a Hermes bag, and gently handed it to Liu Zitong.
When Liu Zitong received the bag, she was instantly drawn to its vibrant orange color. The orange hue was both lively and elegant—simply gorgeous!
However, when Liu's mother, who had been watching the girl's expression, saw the Hermes bag in Liu Zitong's hand, her expression suddenly became serious.
Even if she doesn't understand fashion, seeing these globally recognized luxury brands, especially this Hermès orange backpack which is heavily advertised, and considering she herself owns an LV backpack worth over ten thousand yuan, is enough to show that she understands and pays attention to fashion to some extent. Seeing this exquisite and luxurious Hermès bag in front of her, Liu's mother couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
She was also acutely aware of her family's situation and the various limitations she and her husband faced within the system. So, she took Liu Zitong's soft, boneless hand and asked with a serious expression, "Girl, just tell your mother the truth, who got all these things for you?"
Hearing her mother's question, Liu Zitong's bright eyes widened in surprise. Wasn't she supposed to be that amazing? After a while, her cheeks flushed slightly, and facing her mother's serious gaze, she could only give her mother an awkward smile.
But when she saw someone walk over and take the backpack, her heart skipped a beat. She hesitated for a moment, her gaze shifting between her mother and her serious-looking father. Her mind raced, trying to figure out how to answer the question. Just then, the words Lu Jin had once told her suddenly flashed into her mind, and she instantly understood. Understanding the deeper meaning, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she looked happily at her parents, saying softly, "Dad, Mom, actually… my boyfriend from college bought these things for me."
Mr. Liu suddenly froze, his gaze first falling on his exquisite suit, then slowly returning the backpack to Liu Zitong. His eyes darted back and forth between the two, as if he were pondering something. After a slight hesitation, his hand paused slightly, then he quickly took off his suit and carefully folded it aside. Next, he gently picked up the Hermès bag, as if handling a rare treasure, his movements slow and careful, as if afraid of causing it the slightest damage. Mr. Liu placed the bag back into its original beautiful box, all in one fluid motion.
After doing all this, Mr. Liu looked up at his daughter and said earnestly, "My dear girl, although our family isn't exactly wealthy, your father and mother really can't afford something this expensive! So, you should hurry up and return it to them. Besides, you're only 21 years old this year, you have a long life ahead of you, there's no need to rush into settling everything. Even if there are any difficulties, your father and mother can support you for a few more years and protect you from the wind and rain!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Liu Zitong's heart trembled, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Mr. Liu, who always prided himself on his daughter's excellence and talent, was at a loss for words upon seeing her like this. He rushed forward, grabbed Liu Zitong's hand tightly, and anxiously asked, "Oh dear! My darling daughter, what happened? Tell your dad! Did that brat bully you?"
Liu Zitong gently shook her head and slowly said, "Dad, you really touched me. When I heard you say those words, I really couldn't control my emotions."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu burst into laughter, a look of satisfaction spreading across his face. He continued, "My child, all I can do for you now is these insignificant things. After all, the road ahead is long, and you'll need to bravely face and explore it yourself!"
Liu Zitong nodded, indicating her agreement with her father's statement. Then, after a slight hesitation, she mustered her courage and said, "Dad, I do have a boyfriend now, and he's very outstanding."
Mr. Liu's smiling face froze instantly, his heart sinking as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him, and a bad premonition welled up inside him. Sure enough, Liu Zitong continued, "And we get along quite well."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if the whole world had turned gray and lifeless, as if his carefully nurtured cabbage had been devoured by a wild boar that appeared out of nowhere. It would be a lie to say he wasn't upset and didn't want to get angry, but he forced back his rage and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Then... what does his family do?"
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zitong replied, "Hmm... Based on my observations over this period, I think their family is probably in business. You've all seen how generous Lu Jin is every time we meet, but he's definitely not the type to squander money recklessly. He once said that money should be spent wisely, and I think this time, he spent his money wisely. Just these two bags alone are worth a considerable sum." As she spoke, Liu Zitong pointed to two exquisite handbags placed to the side.
Mr. Liu frowned and asked, "Oh? In business? Then he must be a rich second-generation."
Liu Zitong pursed her lips and nodded slightly. Then, as if remembering something, she added, "By the way, the phone I'm holding and the one Lu Jin uses are actually a matching couple's model! I heard there are only two of these models in the world. Although I don't know if that's true or not, it's really made my roommates quite envious!" And some of the apps on the phone are indeed very useful.
Lu Jin said it was made by someone from her family's company, but this kind of software is only used within their family and can't be found in external app stores. Liu Zitong did indeed search for the same app on other people's phones, and it was indeed impossible to find in other phone app stores. She also discovered that the app didn't have a specific download link and had extremely high security; she'd already gotten used to using it to chat with Lu Jin.
