The couple was well aware of Charlie’s busy lifestyle, with him constantly on the move, so they weren’t shocked when they received the news.
However, what Charlie didn’t seeing was the concern shown by his mother-inw, ine. With a worried expression, she said, “My dear son-inw, you’re always running around. You really should take a few days off. What if you wear yourself out?”
It was quite unusual for ine to express such care, and Charlie couldn’t help but smile. “Mom, there’s no need to worry. Even though I’m busy every day, I’m actually feeling fine,” he reassured her. Jacob, observing the exchange, chimed in with a hum.
“What do you know? My wonderful son-inw is a Feng Shui master now. Just because he’s busy doesn’t mean he’s tired. The clients he works with are influential figures—big bosses and celebrities—who respect him more than they do their own fathers. Of course, ine here is concerned about her precious son-inw’s well-being; she would never let him suffer!” Jacob dered. “In ancient times, they would have carried him in style, no matter the distance!”
ine thoughtfully nodded in agreement, then turned to Charlie with a smile. “My dear son-inw is simply the best! The wealthy have to beg to spend money on him!” She yfully rolled her eyes and added, “Alright, son-inw, can I talk to you about something?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Seeing ine’s demeanor, Charlie immediately guessed she had a request. It was clear why she was being so attentive today.
“Mom, if there’s something on your mind, please feel free to say it,” he encouraged.
ine hesitated for a moment before speaking up. “Well, um… money has been a bit tighttely, and since you’re going away again, I’m worried about running out of funds. So, I was wondering if you could leave me a little extra before you leave?” Jacob couldn’t help but roll his eyes at ine.
“ine, I see right through you. You’re not genuinely concerned; you just want to hit Charlie up for cash!”
ine, taken aback, shot back, “Jacob! I’m simply asking my dear son-inw for some money—what does it have to do with you? I’m trying to show off, and here you are, meddling!”<fnf14a> Get full chapters from find[?]ovel</fnf14a>
Jacob retorted, “You have two hands and two feet. Why don’t you make your own money instead of asking for it? Look at me—I’m part of the calligraphy and painting association now, earning ten to twenty thousand a month!”
ine scoffed, “Bah! Don’t brag about your association. If it weren’t for Charlie’s help, you’d have given up long ago! Just leave!”
“You’re ridiculous!” Jacob said, his face reddening as he tried to maintain his pride.
Not wanting the argument to escte, Charlie quickly interjected, “Mom, Dad, can we please stop bickering? When I’m out, you two will be all alone at home. I won’t feel at ease if you’re constantly fighting!”
ine huffed, “I won’t pay him any mind unless he causes trouble!”
Charlie nodded, understanding ine’s temperament. She could be a handful whether she had money or not, but at least when she was financially secure, she wouldn’t act out as much. So, he decided to offer a solution.
“Mom, money isn’t a big deal. I’ll transfer one million to your ount shortly, and you can use it however you need during this time,” he announced.
ine’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her lips quivered with excitement. “Good son-inw! Is what you’re saying true?! You really want to give me one million?!”
