Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Thoughtful Considerations (2/2)

Fan Tianhua had said that even if she gained a sister in Fan Tianyu, she wouldn’t be jealous, because Mei Mengzhen was just too likable. She was so thorough and meticulous in planning annual events, everything was impeccably handled, but her perfection often made others feel heartache for her. As a result, people who liked Mei Mengzhen really liked her, while those who didn’t, truly despised her.

But no matter what others thought, she herself liked Mei Mengzhen and wouldn’t change her feelings just because Mengzhen was close to her brother.

She smiled at Mei Mengzhen and said, "You’re always so thoughtful."

"Of course, let’s not talk about anything else, Brother Tianyu’s watch is really expensive. Not to mention, there are so many limited editions." Those were so pricey she hadn’t bought one for herself, otherwise, how could she have thought of Fan Tianyu’s watches first?

In the elevator, the three kids were speaking in riddles, and while others might not pry, Mei Yinan couldn’t help herself, "Tianyu, what watch? What are you talking about?"

"Just the watches in Brother Tianyu’s drawer, I’ve just hidden them all away for Tianyu," Mei Mengzhen said with a smile.

Mei Yinan was confused, "Where did you hide them? But if it’s in the house, your aunt will definitely find them."

This was not because Mei Yinan had confidence in her sister; it was just the nature of their family—they might overlook anything but not valuable things. Speaking of this made Mei Yinan worry as well, and she asked concernedly, "Are they expensive? How much?’

Fan Tianyu found it hard to answer this question, not because he was afraid of people knowing the price of the watches, but for fear that once Mei Yinan knew the price, he might get beaten up.

Fan Tianyu hesitated for a long time and did not answer Mei Yinan, who was quickly losing patience, "Come on, what’s the price, is it some kind of secret?"

Indeed, it was a secret.

Seeing Fan Tianyu reluctant to answer, Mei Yinan turned her attention to Fan Tianhua, "Tianhua, you tell me."

Fan Tianhua hadn’t expected to get dragged into this, but she always spoke frankly. She whispered in Mei Yinan’s ear, "My brother gave me two watches, each worth nearly as much as our house."

Mei Yinan gasped, "What?"

Although Tianhua spoke softly, they were still in the elevator; whispering was just drawing more attention, and practically everyone heard it. Whether they believed it or not was another matter.

But Mei Yinan knew Fan Tianyu was indeed both capable and willing to make such purchases.

However, the situation was far from over. When Fan Tianyu bought watches for Fan Tianhua, he didn’t care much about the models, but when he bought watches for himself, he was quite picky. Thus, almost every watch he bought, yes, every watch, was more expensive than Tianhua’s, some even several times more. Tianhua knew this but wisely chose not to say anything.

Mei Yinan became agitated, "Why would such expensive watches still be at home?" She almost couldn’t bear to think about it and immediately said, "Let’s hurry upstairs."

Fan Tianyu stopped her, "No need, we’ve moved them to another place. Anyway, they won’t be found at home, guaranteed absolute safety. The property deeds are the same, Mom, you can rest assured."

Mei Yinan really wanted to say she wasn’t reassured, but seeing that the children had grown up, she felt it might not be good to intervene too much. So she steadied her heart and didn’t say anything further.

The elevator soon reached the ground floor, and Fan Tianyu momentarily hesitated before deciding where to take everyone for dinner.

Fan Tianyu chose a restaurant just across the community in the mall. He took the elevator and arrived at the very one they had dined in a couple of days earlier.

It was that extremely expensive place, where the three of them had spent 6000 yuan for a meal. But today, with more people, they wouldn’t get away with spending less than a few tens of thousands. Once the group settled in, Mei Yifang felt uneasy and said, "Tianyu, this place is too expensive, let’s go somewhere else. We haven’t ordered yet, we can still leave, right?"

Fan Tianyu assured her, "Please, take a seat. Why leave? Bringing you here means I can afford it. Look at my parents, my uncle, and see how calm Yongwang is."

Mei Yongan had seen the prices at Xiyuan and was naturally unfazed by the prices here. But the prices were indeed steep.

Yifang was confused by this and turned to Qi Yongwang, asking, "What do you mean?"

Fan Tianyu said with a smile, "Qiuhe’s not wrong. I’ve indeed made some money doing business. Eating here is no big deal, so just relax and sit down."

Making money was a good thing for Fan Tianyu, but Mei Yifang immediately said, "Even so, you should be more low-key usually. You just bring Qiuhe here to eat these things. If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to eat a meal of covered rice."

"She’s just being finicky. We don’t only eat these; we also eat 10 yuan takeout meals sold on the roadside. She’s seen it, and she’s eaten it herself. She’s just looking for an excuse to make a scene," Tianyu retorted.

Taking advantage of a pause in the conversation, Fan Tianyu ordered all the food they were going to eat. He had a knack for ordering, and he had always been in charge of such matters, managing to cater to many people’s tastes.

Having ordered the food, he naturally also ordered a few bottles of good wine—none of the expected social courtesies were omitted.

After the waiter left, Fan Tianyu glanced at everyone looking at him and said somewhat sheepishly, "What’s up, why are you all looking at me?"

Mei Yongan laughed, "Just looking, Tianyu really looks like a big boss."

Fan Hongwei remarked, "That’s not a big boss. He’s just fooling around outside."

Whether Tianyu was fooling around or not, they knew in their hearts, but of course, they would still be gracious on the surface. However, for Mei Yifang and her husband, who were entirely unaware of the situation, things were a bit confusing.

Upon mentioning Xiyuan, Tianyu felt a bit annoyed, "Ah, see, I should have taken you to Xiyuan. We could have rested there after eating, and even had dinner too. Let’s do this, after eating here, let’s go to Xiyuan. No rush to leave in the afternoon. We’ll have dinner there before heading back. I’ll call them to prepare some dishes for us."

"Okay."

As they talked about Xiyuan, Mei Yifang asked, "Xiyuan is a place to eat? Tianyu, you used to run a restaurant, huh?"

If you could say so. It was indeed a place to eat, but it was not called a restaurant, right? Mei Mengzhen often referred to it as a restaurant anyway.

Seeing Fan Tianyu nod, Mei Yifang said with a laugh, "It’s good to run a restaurant. But I thought you said before that you were selling vegetables? Selling your own vegetables at your place, that’s really cost-effective. You save a step compared to sourcing them from others. Must be pretty economical."

Upon hearing this, Fan Tianyu momentarily did not know how to explain.

Then Mei Yifang continued, "So, does Mengcheng still help you cart around the vegetables? It’s nice that you and your brother are working together—all in the family."
