Chapter 1274 What truly defines a rich person? Just look at Da Bao and you'll know.
Chapter 1274 What truly defines a rich person? Just look at Da Bao and you'll know.
Da Bao straightened up, supporting Zuo Mingyue's arm with one hand and her waist with the other. Zuo Mingyue glanced at Da Bao proudly, then said to Sophia.
“Mommy, this is my husband, Charlotte Qin. You can also call him Da Bao.”
When Sofia saw that her daughter was pregnant, she knew that her daughter was married. However, due to the joy of seeing her daughter for the first time and the sudden worsening of her husband's illness, she never imagined what kind of person her daughter's husband was.
Then he saw a tall, handsome young man. If Da Bao hadn't grown a beard, he would still look like a boy, but now he could only be called a young man.
Princess Sofia, a woman of wide experience, sized up Da Bao and immediately made a rough estimate in her mind: this young man from the East must be extremely wealthy. His suit, vest, and shirt were all custom-made in France; these unbranded clothes were ridiculously expensive.
If some wealthy French people want to squeeze into high society, this haute couture outfit is indispensable.
The reason the princess could tell that Da Bao was rich was because all the buttons on Da Bao's clothes were made of pure silver. Only one century-old shop in Paris, France, can make such buttons. Ordinary people cannot enter this shop. If you want to order something from it, you not only need to be rich, but you also need to have a noble title.
Da Bao doesn't like wearing pocket watches; he prefers wristwatches, and he only likes Vacheron Constantin. Vacheron Constantin was founded in 1755 and is known as the art of the aristocracy. The wristwatch that Da Bao is wearing is worth no less than £100,000.
Da Bao stepped forward, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed deeply.
“Princess, I am your son-in-law. You may call me Charlotte.”
Princess Sofia was very polite. She had just wiped away her tears and hadn't returned the greeting when she heard the sound of people going up the stairs and making a fuss behind her. Immediately afterward, Susanna ran up, threw herself into Princess Sofia's arms, and called her "Auntie."
Princess Sofia said with delight.
"Sophie, when did you arrive?"
Before Susanna could speak, Daisy came up carrying a beautifully sculpted little girl, followed by a gritted-teeth Arthur.
Daisy said with a smile.
"Auntie, we've been here for a while, waiting downstairs, and let my cousin come up by herself."
Princess Sofia was so clever; she immediately understood what was going on. She hugged Susanna and said gratefully.
"Sophie, Sonny, thank you for helping me find my daughter and son-in-law. Wait, who is this little girl?"
On the other side, Da Bao walked over, took Nuan Nuan from Dai Si Li's hands, and kissed his daughter's little face.
“Princess, this is my daughter with Mingyue. Her English name is Angel, and her Chinese name is Nuannuan. Come here, Nuannuan, say hello to your grandma.”
She smiled warmly and waved her hand, then stammered in English.
"Hello, Grandma, I'm Angel."
Sophia happily took Nuannuan from Dabao's hands. Suddenly, Dabao felt his clothes being tugged. He looked down and saw Athena staring at him with her big, bright eyes, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Da Bao reached out and picked Athena up, then called Edward, who was secretly watching him, over.
"Hello, Athena, hello, Edward, I'm your brother-in-law, Charlotte."
Athena gently touched Da Bao's face with her small hand and said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law from the East, you're so handsome."
Everyone laughed at his words.
Da Bao put Athena down and took her and Edward's hands, saying...
“Let’s go downstairs first and let Uncle get some rest. He’ll probably sleep for a day or two, but once he wakes up, he’ll be basically cured. I’ve already asked someone to find a medical team in the United States to remove the shrapnel from Uncle’s chest, and then he’ll be fine.”
Sofia nodded in delight and gave Nuannuan a gentle kiss. Nuannuan cupped Sofia's face and said...
"Grandma, you look just like Mommy."
Everyone laughed again, and they all went downstairs together. Uncle Qing was standing there with his hands tied, and the living room was filled with more than a dozen large boxes, almost filling the entire living room.
Sophia and the others came downstairs and were speechless with astonishment at the sight of so many things in the living room.
Da Bao pointed to Uncle Qing and introduced him. Upon hearing that he was a servant in the family, Sophia's suspicions were confirmed: this son-in-law was definitely not an ordinary person.
Da Bao pointed to the box and said,
“Princess, here are a few boxes containing clothes, some for you, some for your uncle, and some for Edward and Athena. The remaining boxes contain bags, watches, cosmetics, and jewelry that Aymu bought while sweeping the streets of Paris, France.”
"Huh? So many?"
Sofia was both surprised and delighted.
Susanna said, linking her arm with Sofia's.
"Auntie, you have no idea how extravagant your daughter is. On the two most luxurious streets in Paris, she went into a store, looked around, and then said, 'I don't want this, this, or this. Pack up the rest.'"
In just two days, the couple and their daughter bought up all the shops on those two streets. It's estimated that the Parisian aristocracy won't be able to buy anything for the next couple of days.
Sofia stared at him, speechless for a long time. Even when she was at her richest, she had never dared to buy anything like this. Now she was completely convinced that her son-in-law was a super-rich man.
If she knew that her daughter and son-in-law possessed gold reserves equal to the total gold reserves of all of Asia, she would probably faint immediately.
Da Bao asked Uncle Qing to find two boxes, and he told Edward and Athena.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know how tall you are, so I just bought the clothes based on your sister Susanna's description. You can try them on to see if they fit, and I'll take you to buy more in a few days."
Athena couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the beautiful clothes and dresses. She hadn't bought new clothes in almost two years. However, the little girl was sensible and knew that all the family's money was used for her father's medical treatment, so she and Edward never asked for anything in terms of food or clothing.
How could the little girl not be overjoyed to suddenly see so many new clothes?
Nuannuan broke free from Sophia's embrace and ran to the pile of boxes, looking at them one by one. Dabao was a little puzzled and looked back at Zuo Mingyue. Zuo Mingyue smiled and shook her head, making a face, meaning that it was a secret and she wouldn't tell him.
Seeing his wife's smile as radiant as a peach blossom, Da Bao couldn't help but gently kiss her, making Zuo Mingyue blush even more.
Sofia and the others were very happy to see the young couple so affectionate.
Nuannuan finally found the suitcase she had prepared. She tried hard to reach the handle, but unfortunately she was too short and couldn't reach it. Frustrated, she whistled.
With a whistle, a low growl followed, and two enormous creatures charged in from outside...
