Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Not Expensive, Just 60,000 for a String
“Hey, Chu Chen, you’re not that young anymore.”
“Learn from your cousin, he married such a good wife…”
Auntie was muttering.
Chu Chen’s cousin, Auntie’s son, married the daughter of a company president, making him the wealthiest among several relatives.
That was also Auntie’s bragging point. @@novelbin@@
“Now, your cousin is already a deputy manager with an annual salary of over 300,000, and he’s bought a car.”
“Your cousin was already married at your age.”
Upon hearing this, his mom couldn’t help but glance at Chu Chen. Up to now, her son hadn’t brought a girlfriend home for her to meet.
But Chu Chen’s cousin, three years older, already had a two-year-old child.
“By the way, what work are you doing now, Chu Chen?”
“Nothing much, driving for Didi,” Chu Chen replied.
“A driver?”
Auntie looked disdainful. In her eyes, being a driver was a poor and embarrassing job.
“Only people from the lower class do such work, and I didn’t expect you, Chu Chen, to be doing it?”
Ever since her son married a company president’s daughter, Auntie considered her son to be part of the upper class, extremely proud.
She particularly looked down on low-level jobs.
Hearing this, the expressions on Chu Chen’s parents’ faces changed slightly.
Auntie’s words sounded quite unpleasant.
After all, they were relatives, so the parents held back and didn’t say much.
“Chu Chen, how can such a lively young man do this kind of work?”
Auntie continued.
“Let’s do this, I’ll talk to your cousin and see if he can arrange a better job for you.”
“Even if you can’t be like your cousin and enter the upper class, you shouldn’t remain at the bottom.”
Saying that, Auntie felt thirsty and wanted a drink.
Noticing there’s no cup, Auntie saw some grapes on the table, so she picked a few and started eating.
“Hmm?”
The first grape entered her mouth, and Auntie’s expression instantly changed.
Why did this grape taste so good?
In her life, she’d eaten countless grapes, but these were undoubtedly the most delicious.
“Your grapes are really nice.”
Auntie commented.
The parents also nodded, they thought they tasted good too.
These were brought by Chu Chen, and they’d tried them yesterday; they indeed tasted excellent.
Seeing his parents nod, Chu Chen said:
“Since Mom and Dad also like them, I’ll buy some more next time.”
Money wasn’t an issue.
“By the way, Chu Chen, bring me some next time too, will you?”
“I’ll pay you.”
Auntie said generously, liking these grapes very much.
“Chu Chen, how much are these grapes?”
“Not expensive, one bunch is about 10,000.”
Chu Chen answered casually.
Hearing Chu Chen’s words, Auntie was stunned, then started coughing.
With a look of disbelief, Auntie asked in surprise:
“Chu Chen, what did you say?”
“How much?”
“Over ten thousand,” Chu Chen answered.
“Over ten thousand?”
“Such a bunch of grapes costs over ten thousand?”
Auntie was dumbfounded, mumbling repeatedly.
Over ten thousand?
A bunch of grapes costs over ten thousand?!
And this isn’t expensive?
This is an astronomical price, right?
“Oh, by the way, Auntie, it’s in US dollars,” Chu Chen added.
Auntie was completely dumbfounded.
Ten thousand US Dollars, that equates to over sixty thousand.
A bunch of grapes actually costs over sixty thousand?
That could buy a car, right?
She had eaten half a bunch of grapes just now, and thirty thousand was gone?
Good heavens?
Seeing the grapes before her, Auntie didn’t dare to eat them.
This bunch of grapes had over twenty-four pieces, each would be worth two to three thousand!
Are these grapes?
These are gold!
Just now, Chu Chen even said, if parents liked them, he’d buy more.
Grapes at sixty thousand a bunch, she couldn’t imagine it.
Chu Chen actually wanted to buy more?
There were three bunches of grapes here, that’s one hundred and eighty thousand!
Seeing the grapes on the table, Auntie was speechless for a long time.
“Auntie, if my cousin is part of the upper class, you must have had these grapes before.”
Chu Chen asked casually.
Hearing this, Auntie’s face flushed instantly.
She’d been showing off just now, but a single bunch of grapes casually placed in their home cost sixty thousand!
She felt her face burn.
“I’ve had them, I’ve had them.” Auntie nodded reluctantly.
“I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
Auntie stood up and quietly took a few grapes, ready to leave.
“Oh, by the way, Sis, in a few days we are moving to Luoshui Gardens, don’t forget to come visit then.”
At this moment, mother added.
Hmm?
Luoshui Gardens?
Isn’t that the most expensive property around here?
They actually bought a house in Luoshui Gardens, are they that rich?
Auntie’s face turned even redder, and she slipped away.
Seeing this, the parents also showed a trace of a smile.
They too were somewhat annoyed with this sister, but after all, they were relatives and couldn’t say much usually.
Unexpectedly, today they felt a sense of pride.
“By the way, Chu Chen, is that bunch of grapes really over sixty thousand?”
Watching Auntie leave, mother asked curiously.
“Those were Roman Ruby grapes airlifted from abroad; they’re rare, I just chanced upon them, so I bought them all.”
Chu Chen answered.
…
After leaving Chu Chen’s house, Auntie came to her doorstep.
At this moment, she still had three grapes she secretly took from Chu Chen’s house.
“No, they must be fooling me?”
“They say these grapes are sixty thousand, so they’re sixty thousand?”
“I don’t believe it.”
Pondering this long on the way, Auntie figured it out.
It must be Chu Chen making it up. How could there be grapes this expensive in the world?
Even fooling Auntie, she’d better teach him a lesson next time they meet.
Thinking this, Auntie opened the door.
She lived with her son and daughter-in-law.
Opening the door, Auntie was stunned; at this moment, in the room, a noblewoman with a pearl necklace was sitting there.
That was Auntie’s mother-in-law.
Seeing her mother-in-law, Auntie hurriedly greeted her in a fawning manner.
Though she bragged outside, only she knew about the home situation.
At home, her daughter-in-law was in charge.
“Hey, where did you get the Roman Ruby grapes from, mother-in-law?”
After greeting, the middle-aged noblewoman was surprised, looking at the grapes in Auntie’s hands, extremely astonished.
“Roman Ruby grapes?”
Auntie mumbled.
“Yes, these are Roman Ruby grapes, said to be worth sixty to seventy thousand a bunch?”
The middle-aged noblewoman exclaimed.
Such priced grapes sometimes couldn’t be bought even with money.
She didn’t dare to eat them.
“I… I got these from a relative’s table.” Auntie was stunned.
Chu Chen said, she didn’t believe, but when her mother-in-law, who ran a company, said it, she believed.
Was this bunch of grapes really that expensive?
“Unexpectedly, you have such a capable relative, it’s really your good fortune.”
The middle-aged noblewoman said enviously.
Hearing this, Auntie’s face became complicated.
She truly didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
In the evening, Chu Chen received a call from Yan Luoshui, saying she’d come tomorrow to fulfill her “girlfriend” duties.
The next day, Chu Chen had to go out temporarily due to house matters.
When he returned home, Chu Chen was surprised to find there were guests at home.
Among them was a young woman with an appearance score around 75.
It seemed his mom had arranged a blind date at home?!
What do you think?
