Chapter 1031 - Dont you know about Meitu Xiu Xiu? (2/2)
“Mmm. Your dad didn’t want to do anything but I thought that it wasn’t right. Although your dad doesn’t have many skills, he still raised this family up. This person who has such a large ego and keeps on bragging about his son every day can’t suddenly be left alone on his fiftieth birthday.”
Lin Fan replied, “Mmm, I got it. I’ll organize it.”
“Oh, right. Have you found a girlfriend yet? Hurry up and bring her back for us to see. Even if you’re doing well, if you can’t find a girlfriend, it would be useless.”
Lin Fan had no words. “Mom, I’m hanging up. I’ll come back tomorrow.”
Without waiting for his mother to say more, he immediately hung up.
Fraud Tian glanced at Lin Fan. “What is it? Are you leaving Shanghai again?”
Lin Fan replied, “Mmm. My dad is turning fifty. I have to go back to make preparations for it. I nearly forgot and my mom had to remind me. I really didn’t do my part as a son.”
Fraud Tian nodded. “You really didn’t do your part as a son. To forget such a big event. It’s fine. Leave the shop to me. I guarantee that it’ll be lively.”
Lin Fan thought for a moment. “Alright, this shop will be left to you guys. I’m going out to buy something for my dad. I have to go and choose a birthday present.”
Wu You Lan started to get restless. “Brother Lin, do you need me to accompany you?”
Lin Fan waved his hand. “No need. I’ll just go myself.”
Not being able to follow Brother Lin to buy the present, she felt a little depressed.
Lin Fan started his car and drove off.
In his heart, he was thinking about what he should buy.
He reached the shopping mall and glanced around. He hadn’t thought of what to buy yet.
But when he passed by a gold shop, he stopped in his tracks. In his mind, he recalled something from when he had been over ten years old. His dad had said something at home.
‘In the future, if my son can give me a gold bracelet when I turn fifty, that would be great.’
Later on, Lin Fan had gone to a mediocre university. After graduating, he hadn’t been able to find a good job either. That gold bracelet had never been mentioned by his father again.
Perhaps his father didn’t want to give him too much pressure.
Now, he was doing pretty well in Shanghai and so many things had happened. But his dad had kept the same old mindset and perhaps he still didn’t want to bring it up.
Lin Fan entered the shop.
In front of the counter, the staff member was all smiles. “Sir, may I ask what you need?”
Lin Fan said, “Show me the gold bracelets for men.”
The staff member asked, “Is this for yourself or for someone a little older?”
Lin Fan replied, “For someone older.”
The staff member said warmly, “Please come and take a look over here. These are all our latest models. They’re very suitable for older men.”
Lin Fan took a close look. He had to pick a good-looking one. Then, he pointed at one of them. “Let me take a look at this one.”
The staff member smiled as he took out that bracelet. “Sir, this is our shop’s newest model. It’s usually gifted to the older generation by the younger generation. It portrays a message of family harmony and prosperity.”
Lin Fan took a look at it and was quite pleased. “I’ll take this one then. Help me to wrap it up.”
“Alright.”
This bracelet cost $25,000. It wasn’t too expensive.
After Lin Fan left the shop, the staff member looked at the colleague next to him. “Do you feel as if that man that just came looked a bit like that Master Lin? Do you think they look alike?”
“How can that be? Think about Master Lin’s status and identity. How could he buy a $25,000 bracelet? If he buys a bracelet, he would buy a more expensive one. But really, they do look a little alike. He just looks a little uglier than how Master Lin looks in his Weibo profile picture.”
If Lin Fan knew what these people said, he would surely yell out.
Don’t you know that there’s something called Meitu Xiu Xiu*?
