Chapter 53

"Son, did you say you made several tens of millions from gambling on stones?" Meng Jing took a long time to slowly come to her senses from the shock, but she still couldn't believe what He Dong had said.

"Yes!" He Dong nodded very affirmatively.

"You said you spent over ten million to buy a villa?" Meng Jing continued to ask.

"Yes!" He Dong nodded again.

"Uh!" After receiving He Dong's two affirmations, Meng Jing suddenly touched her chest, sat on the sofa, and panted heavily, her face becoming increasingly rosy.

"Mom! Calm down! Calm down!" He Dong was frightened by Meng Jing's appearance; it was clearly too much of a shock, so he hurriedly comforted her.

"Auntie!" Zhao Xinxin also watched with concern.

After more than ten minutes, Meng Jing's abnormal state slowly returned to normal, and the flush of excitement on her face gradually faded.

"Mom, where's Dad?" However, seeing Meng Jing's expression, she was still excited, so He Dong didn't dare to stimulate her further and changed the topic.

"Right! Go and find your dad, let him get excited too! Haha, my son has made a fortune! Haha!" Meng Jing still said excitedly.

"What fortune? Did you find money or win the lottery? Why are you so happy?" At that moment, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and He Dong's father, He Qianjin, walked in.

"Old man, your son... your son has made a fortune!" Meng Jing said excitedly.

"Really made a fortune? Is your pet hospital business that good?" He Qianjin's face suddenly lit up. Every parent hopes their children will succeed, so He Qianjin's first thought was that He Dong's business had succeeded.

"Not the pet hospital, but...!" Then He Dong repeated what he had said earlier, and because he had experience, this time he paid attention to He Qianjin's facial expressions as he spoke.

Even Meng Jing, who had already heard it once, was still extremely excited when He Dong recounted it for the second time. As for He Qianjin, his facial expressions were even more varied, turning red and purple, his eyes wide open, and his breathing becoming rapid.

However, He Qianjin's ability to handle the shock was clearly stronger than Meng Jing's. As He Dong spoke, his expression gradually returned to normal. Seeing this, He Dong finally felt relieved and secretly rejoiced that neither of them had heart disease, or there might have been an accident.

Seeing that his parents had accepted this unexpected joy, He Dong immediately proposed moving. However, to He Dong's frustration, although his parents knew he had made a fortune and bought a villa, when he suggested they move in, they both shook their heads.

"Son, we can stay in the villa for a couple of days occasionally, but we won't move there! We're used to living here, and we know the neighbors. If we move to your place, we probably won't have anyone to talk to." Meng Jing said.

"That's right. I can play chess and drink tea with Old Zhang and Brother Liu. If we move to the villa, it won't be as casual." He Qianjin also said.

He Dong tried to persuade them for a while, but Meng Jing and He Qianjin only agreed to visit frequently and stay for a couple of days, but not to live there permanently.

Seeing his parents so determined, He Dong had to give up on persuading them and instead handed them a bank card with five million in savings. This time, they didn't refuse, because in their eyes, accepting money from their son was only natural.

"Dad, what do you plan to do with the money?" He Dong felt better after seeing his parents accept the money.

"Of course, buy a car first!" He Qianjin suddenly said excitedly.

He Qianjin was a typical car enthusiast, and owning a car was his greatest wish, but their family's poor conditions had always kept this wish buried deep in his heart.

"Buy a car? Dad, when I bought the villa, they gave me a car. Why don't you drive it?" As soon as He Qianjin mentioned buying a car, He Dong quickly said.

"Me? What about you?" He Qianjin's eyes lit up, but he quickly asked.

"That's a black Audi, I don't really like it! But it's suitable for your age!" He Dong explained.

When He Dong asked Zhao Xinxin to be his free driver, she had complained about the car for a long time, saying it didn't match his status, the color was unattractive, the model was too old, and it wasn't flashy at all. At first, He Dong didn't pay much attention, but after hearing it so many times, he started to have some thoughts about his current car.

"Since that's the case, I'll take it!" He Qianjin didn't hesitate and eagerly took the car keys from He Dong.

"Dad! Can I ask you a question?" Looking at his father, He Dong suddenly asked.

"What question?" He Qianjin, holding the car keys, said absentmindedly.

"Um... do you... know how to drive? Do you have a driver's license?" He Dong asked tentatively.

"Uh! Um...!" He Qianjin's face suddenly changed, as he also realized this key issue at that moment.

"Ha ha, it's okay. If you don't know how to drive, we have a driver here. Xinxin drives very well, and we can learn together. As for the driver's license, I'll find a friend to help you with that!" He Dong saw his father's expression and knew everything, so he didn't wait for He Qianjin to answer and arranged everything for him.

"Okay, okay, okay, then I'll trouble Xinxin!" He Qianjin knew that Zhao Xinxin was his son's friend and had always liked this pretty little girl. Now he liked her even more.

"No trouble!" Zhao Xinxin waved her hands quickly.

The news He Dong brought filled He Qianjin and Meng Jing's minds with joy. Even at lunchtime, his mother didn't go to cook as usual. What puzzled He Dong was that his brother, He Xi, who should have been home by now, hadn't appeared.

"Mom, where's my brother? Haven't they been on holiday for a long time?" He Dong couldn't help but ask curiously.

"He's not eating at home today. He's going to a classmate's birthday party." Meng Jing said casually.

"Birthday party?" He Dong wasn't unfamiliar with the term, but because of their family's circumstances, he and his brother had never had such a party. On their birthdays, they would just eat a bowl of longevity noodles and two eggs, and if his mother cooked a few dishes, it was already very luxurious.

"Right, my brother's birthday is coming up soon. Should we give him a surprise?" Now that He Dong had money, the idea of a "birthday party" suddenly sparked his imagination.
