Female Novel
Chapter 361 This Is How The Rich Show Off!
Whop whop whop…
The whirling of the helicopter rotors could be heard in the sky. The helicopters started to stir the
surrounding air.
What alarmed Jack was there wasn’t just one helicopter in the air but there were… three helicopters!
Slung under each helicopter was a cargo container. The helicopters hovered in the air and slowly
lowered the containers. The entire scene was extremely shocking. It drew attention from all around and
everyone was shocked.
After all, apart from Patrick’s personal protection guards, the security guards at the Four Impressions
Club and the other people had never seen such a display.
Jack said, “Is this sending gifts or moving house?”
“Old Master Hughes had always been generous and he would not hold back for his son, daughter-in-
law, and grandchild.”
Mr. Ward laughed radiantly as he narrowed his eyes, “Actually I feel that Old Master Hughes was rather
stingy. When he goes outside for business dealings, he had always been far more generous!”
“Like gifting an oil field?” Jack thought about the time Mr. Ward said about this.
“Yeah.” Mr. Ward nodded.
But Amber who was in Jack’s embrace was so shocked that she was covering her mouth with her
hands and holding back her screams. Even with her family background, she had never seen anyone
sending gifts in such a manner.
Thud, thud, thud.
Finally, at the direction of a specialist, the three containers were placed on the ground. The middle-
aged man in charge of the delivery ran forward with a folder in his hands.
“Master and Missus Hughes.” The middle-aged man smiled and greeted respectfully. Thereafter he
opened the folder in his hands.
Jack’s eyes lit up when he realized that the folder was a list of the gifts. He was stunned and looked at
Mr. Ward, “Is there a need to announce the gifts?”
“Yes, yes.” Mr. Ward nodded.
The middle-aged man loudly announced the gifts.
“Thousand year old ginseng, ten.”
“Golden grain wooden bed, one set.”
…
One by one the gifts were announced by the middle-aged man.
Jack watched in surprise with his eyes wide open while Amber was full of shock. Even if each gift was
not astronomical in value, they were extremely expensive.
The onlookers continued to remark with surprise and shock. So this was how the rich show off! Yeah,
this must be it.
The long list was read like a book. The middle-aged man read out the first page and continued to read
the second page.
Slowly, the onlookers kept silent and became petrified and stared in awe.
Jack could not take it anymore when the middle-aged man announced loudly, “Quad Courtyard
dwelling in the Capital City, one unit.”
He quickly shouted for the man to stop. Just the gifts announced so far already exceeded one billion
yuan in value. These gifts were far too much!
“Master Hughes, what’s wrong?” The middle-aged man looked puzzled at Jack. He looked at the folder
and said, “I have three more pages to go.”
Three pages?! The veins at the corner of Jack’s eyes throbbed while Amber who was in his embrace
shuddered.
“Enough enough, don’t read out the rest. Let’s keep it low profile.” Jack said while sounding upset. He
didn’t like to flaunt their wealth.
What was a place like the capital? It’s at the feet of the Emperor and where the dragons and tigers
dwelt. Realty prices were the peak of the country. The cost of a quad courtyard dwelling was
astronomical. This type of gift was already announced on the first page of the list. Who knows what his
father had for them towards the end of the list!
“Yes yes yes, we are very appreciative of father’s gifts. There is no need to announce them any
further.” Amber sounded panicky as she agreed with Jack.
With her family background, she had seen numerous times her father giving gifts and they also
accepted many gifts from others. But no matter who it was, it never came close to such a display of
wealth.
“Master, that won’t do. Before we set off, Old Master Hughes already instructed me to be detailed in the
handover of the gifts.” The middle-aged man hesitated as he pointed to the list, “There are…”novelbin
“Stop!” Jack’s expression darkened and called a stop to it, “Whatever there is, just don’t announce it!”
“Okay.” The middle-aged man relented and respectfully presented the list to Jack.
Jack didn’t look at the list and looked at the stunned onlookers and then waved his hands, “I apologize
for disturbing everybody, please leave.” Thereafter he didn’t bother with them.
He brought Amber back to the hall. After sitting down, Amber was still in a daze and said, “Hubby,
father is far too generous. I’ve never seen someone presenting gifts in this manner, I feel like it’s a
dream.”
“Don’t mention seeing, I’ve never even heard of it.” Jack scratched his head helplessly. He finally
believed Mr. Ward saying that his father gave an oil field during one of his business negotiations.
He picked up the list and had a quick browse and then he said in surprise, “Honey, guess how much
the entire list of gifts cost?”
“Two billion yuan?” Amber said a reasonable figure.
But Jack shook his head, “You guessed too low, go higher!”
Amber shuddered and covered her mouth.
She suppressed her scream and said, “I, I won’t guess. Just tell me.”
Jack raised his right hand and extended the fingers, “What you said multiplied by five!”
At this moment, not only didn’t Amber appear happy, but she became pale and was unsettled.
She was just pregnant and the gifts were already ten billion yuan!
How rich was the Hughes family?
“What is my father thinking?” Jack scratched his head and was in disbelief, “Why do I find it strange
that the gifts are so valuable for just getting pregnant.”
He would find it normal if the gifts totaled one to two billion. After all, the first two cash gifts that his
father gave him were a billion yuan each time. But ten billion was really terrifying!
At this time, Mr. Ward who settled the handover of the gifts came back. He smiled when he saw Jack
and Amber frowning and seemed to be troubled.
“Are Master and Missus alarmed by Old Master’s actions?”
“Yes.” Jack and Amber nodded in unison.
Mr. Ward laughed, “Master and missus should not think too much. Ten billion yuan is nothing to the
Hughes family.”
“It’s not much to the Hughes family but to us, it’s ten billion!” Amber said with a lingering fear.
A daughter-in-law would be very happy when her father and mother-in-law give her presents but now
she couldn’t allow herself to be happy.
Mr. Ward looked back at the three containers in the courtyard. Those were the small gifts. The larger
ones such as the quad courtyard dwelling had to be processed thereafter.
Mr. Ward grinned when he looked back at Jack and Amber.
He blinked and said, “Master and missus, do you really think that the ten billion yuan gifts were for
missus’ pregnancy?”
“Then what?” Jack and Amber asked in unison.
The next second, Jack came to his senses and then his eyes lit up, “No, Mr. Ward meant to say that
father was using this as a reason to help me?”
Mr. Ward kept quiet and nodded.
