Chapter 151: Fifth Mother Yi Xiaoyan [1]

The fifth mother was named Yi Xiaoyan. Although she was already over forty, she was exceptionally well-maintained, her skin as delicate as an eighteen-year-old girl's, yet every glance and smile carried the charming grace of a mature woman.

"This LV bag, this Chloé dress, Armani clothes... all of these are for Hanger." Yi Xiaoyan dumped all the shopping bags she was holding onto Su Han in one go. Su Han lost her balance for a moment and was crushed right onto the sofa, unable to move under the weight of the bags.

That was not all. Yi Xiaoyan ran back outside, dragged in a large suitcase, and took out the treasures inside one by one. "Qingqing has her share too. This is the Ghost Consuming Fragrance I brought from Mount Emei, the Yin Corpse Flower capable of exuding nether Qi, and the Spirit Essence Pills that will enhance your strength..."

"Oh, Dahei! How could the fifth mother forget about Dahei! This is imported dog food from the United States, imported snacks from Nippon, and the fifth mother even specially picked out clothes and toys for you!"

Under Yan Yu's dumbfounded expression, Yi Xiaoyan slipped a heavy 99K pure gold thick chain onto Dahei and put a pair of specially made doggy sunglasses on it; the only thing missing was a cigar in its mouth.

The two young women and the dog stared at Yi Xiaoyan with almost vacant gazes.

In the past, they only knew what wealthy people looked like.

But today, they truly witnessed what a nouveau riche looked like!

"Fifth mother, where... where is my gift?" Yan Yu asked expectantly, his eyes shining.

Yi Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at Yan Yu. "What gift could you possibly want? You're living much more comfortably out here than us mothers; I haven't even asked you for a gift yet!"

"Mom, do you even know what it means to share the wealth evenly?" Yan Yu protested unconvinced.

"Oh, you're arguing back with your mom now, are you?"

"..."

Su Han finally recovered from the overwhelming aura of wealth exuded by Yi Xiaoyan, and said somewhat sheepishly, "Fifth mother, these gifts are too precious, we can't..."

"Take them since they're given to you. Hanger, your family is wealthy too, so these gifts are nothing. This is just a small token of the fifth mother's affection," Yi Xiaoyan smiled. "With Xiao Yu out here, we mothers can't take care of him, so we really have to thank you both for looking after him."

Yan Yu chimed in, "Actually, they didn't really take that good care of me..."

"Shut up!" Yi Xiaoyan's expression changed instantly. "As a mother, how could I not know my son's personality? If it weren't for Hanger and Qingqing keeping an eye on you, there's no telling where you would have flown off to!"

"..."

Little stars twinkled in Zhao Qingqing's eyes. "Fifth mother looks so young and so pretty!"

"Qingqing really knows how to flatter!" Yi Xiaoyan beamed with joy again. "Qingqing is very pretty too, the babies you and Xiao Yu have in the future will definitely be adorable!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingqing instantly blushed scarlet, while Yan Yu rolled his eyes hard.

As things stood, he and Zhao Qingqing couldn't even manage to hold hands and embrace properly, let alone stage a romance between the living and the ghost, yet the fifth mother was already thinking about having babies.

Yan Yu couldn't help asking, "Fifth mother, why did you suddenly come to Rongcheng? What is this all about?"

Yi Xiaoyan suddenly put away her smile, sat down on the sofa, and sighed deeply. "Actually, your fifth mother has gone bankrupt."

"???" Everyone.

Bankrupt? And yet you still bought such a huge pile of luxury goods to give away as gifts?

Although filled with doubt, Yan Yu still comforted her, "Fifth mother, money is just an external possession, having more of it has no real meaning. You should take things easy no matter what happens, your health is what matters most."

Yi Xiaoyan suddenly burst into laughter again. "Hahaha, look at your faces, did that really scare you? How could I possibly go bankrupt? Even if I did go bankrupt, leaving behind a few billion for my retirement wouldn't be a problem at all!"

"..."

Yan Yu clutched his poor little heart; he was enduring pressure that a boy of his age should not have to bear.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Actually, it's like this," Yi Xiaoyan said seriously. "There's a new project in Rongcheng recently. The municipal government is planning to build an international-standard eight-star seaside resort hotel at Butterfly Bay, releasing nearly two thousand acres of land. Your fifth mother successfully secured this project and is preparing to invest ten billion to develop it. Because this project is quite large, I had to come and handle it personally, and by the way, drop by to visit my son and his future wives."

A conversation that had been quite serious until the end once again made Su Han and Zhao Qingqing feel bashful.

"So that's how it is. I thought you had some major emergency that made you suddenly come down the mountain..." Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't bad news, everything was fine.

"Three days from now, I will hold a bidding meeting at the Century Wanyuan Grand Hotel. Real estate companies from both Rongcheng and Luzhou will come to bid for the development rights of the project. At the same time, this will also be a high-end banquet for the entire Jianzhou Province. Xiao Yu, you must attend."

"Me? What am I going to do there?" Yan Yu asked in puzzlement.

Yi Xiaoyan said, "You are my, Yi Xiaoyan's, son after all. What's wrong with attending an occasion like this? Your mom simply wants to let the people of Rongcheng and Luzhou take a good look at you, so that no one will ever dare bully you again."

Yan Yu laughed dryly in speechlessness. His five mothers were all fiercely protective to the absolute extreme. It was a good thing today's visitor was the fifth mother; if it had been the second mother, she probably would have painted Rongcheng red...

"The bidding meeting doesn't start for another three days. For the time being, you two will properly accompany the fifth mother on a shopping spree!"

"So, where are you staying tonight?" Yan Yu asked.

A look of sorrow appeared in Yi Xiaoyan's eyes. "My son has grown up, and now he's actually starting to find his fifth mother a nuisance, not wanting his fifth mother to stay with him..."

"Please speak normally."

Yi Xiaoyan pulled out a ring of keys directly. "I'll stay wherever I want. Over half of the apartments in this building have already been bought by me, and the rest are under negotiation, which should be cleared out by tomorrow."

Yan Yu silently pulled back the curtain and looked down. The downstairs was packed with moving trucks. The neighbors he had previously met were either downstairs counting money or carrying furniture...

Everyone was once again defeated by Yi Xiaoyan's sheer financial dominance.

Su Han said, "Fifth mother, no matter how many apartments you buy, they'll just stay empty. You should just keep one room. You can't have the entire building turn into an empty shell after you leave, can you?"

"Hanger makes sense, but..." Yi Xiaoyan smiled slyly. "Insider information: a high school is about to be built right next to our Apricot Blossom Residential Area, so this neighborhood will immediately become a prime school-district housing area. Within a few months, the housing prices here will skyrocket, and new residents will soon move in. I'll just casually make tens of millions in pocket money along the way..."

"..." Everyone.

Seeing Yi Xiaoyan's radiant yet charming smile, Yan Yu finally understood why the rich kept getting richer.

"Alright, your fifth mother has had a long and tiring journey today, so I'll go rest in the apartment right across from you first. Tomorrow is the weekend, if you guys have nothing to do, accompany me shopping!"

Su Han and Zhao Qingqing nodded hurriedly.

"Right, Xiao Yu, the eldest sister asked me to pass a message to you."

"What message?" Yan Yu felt a stirring of interest; the eldest mother was always the most proper one.

"The eldest mother told you to guard your pristine yang body well!"

Su Han and Zhao Qingqing's faces blushed even more fiercely.
