    At that moment, ine urged, “Oh, ire, you really don’t grasp Feng Shui and other concepts, so please don’t say anything to Charlie.”


    Then, ine turned to face ire, her tone turning serious: “Mom doesn’t expect you to assist Charlie in his career, but I will never allow you to hinder his progress! The future of our family depends entirely on Charlie!”


    ire, feeling overwhelmed, found herself at a loss for words after ine’s outburst.


    It was evident to ire that her mother had staunchly sided with Charlie, rendering her own argumentspletely ineffective.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a resigned sigh, she said, “Well, I’m off to thepany now.”<fnb108> Discover more novels at f?ndnovel</fnb108>


    ine quickly interjected, “ire, why not wait for me to finish my current task before you leave?”


    ire shook her head and replied, “I’m already runningte; everyone is waiting for me to lead a summary meeting.”


    ine responded, “Alright then, you can go. If anything exciting happens, I’ll take a picture and send it to you!”


    ire acknowledged her mother with a hum and turned to Charlie and Jacob, saying, “Husband, Dad, I’m heading out now.”


    Charlie nodded, saying, “Drive carefully and stay safe on the road.”


    ire quickly assured him, “Don’t worry; I’ll be cautious.”


    Once ire drove away, Charlie returned to the living room of the vi.


    At that point, Jacob and ine had already begun unpacking a mountain of gift boxes.


    ine opened one box and eximed in delight, “Wow! It’s a limited edition Chanel bag!”


    Jacob pulled out a bottle of Moutai, examining it closely before eximing, “My goodness, this is a five-star Moutai from 1958! It’s extremely rare; a bottle sold at auction a few years ago for 2.99 million!”


    “What?!” ine gasped in shock, “A bottle of Moutai for 2.99 million?! Are you out of your mind?!”


    Jacob rolled his eyes, “You clearly haven’t been exposed to luxury! You’re shocked by 2.99 million? Let me tell you, there’s a type of Moutai with only ten bottles in the entire country known as Handi Moutai, worth millions!”


    “Handi Moutai?” ine frowned, confused. “What does that even mean? Moutai dug up from the ground?”


    Jacob scoffed, “You must be joking! You went to college, yet you don’t know that the Han Emperor is not some aridnd!”


    ine retorted, “Pfft! Who do you think you’re looking down on? It’s clearly that you didn’t exin it well—does my Lady even know who the Han Emperor is?”


    Jacob quickly fired back, “You definitely don’t know who the Han Emperor is. If you can name him today, I’ll consider you a college graduate!”


    ire was momentarily speechless.


    She genuinely couldn’t recall the name of the Han Emperor.


    Seeing her flustered, Jacob sneered, “What? Can’t remember? Was university a waste on you?”


    ine snapped back, “Why are you droning on? Listen, Jacob, that bottle of wine you’re holding is worth three million, and you absolutely cannot drink it! Store it away and wait for it to appreciate before selling!”


    Jacob, irritated, replied, “This was gifted to my son-inw Charlie. What do you want me to do? If Charlie wants to drink it, we drink it; if he says sell it, we sell it; if he says smash it, we smash it—and you can only stand by and watch!”


    “You!”


    Witnessing the couple’s bickering, Charlie shook his head in exasperation.


    Just then, his phone rang—it was Stefanie calling. He turned to his parents and said, “Dad and Mom, I have something to take care of. I’ll head to my room now.”


    Without waiting for their response, he entered the elevator.
