As soon as Erwin sat down, he took out a simple gift box and gave it to Lina.
"Lina, this is for you."
“What is this?” Lina was a little excited, as this was the first time Erwin gave her a gift after she met Erwin again.
“You will know when you see it.” Erwin smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
After Lina nodded, she opened the gift box, and inside was a purple jade bracelet.
“This purple jade bracelet is beautiful once.” Lina liked him very much, her eyes were full of excitement, and she immediately put on the bracelet to express her affection.
Erwin was overjoyed to see Lina like him, but the Mary next to him could not help but mock.
"A normal bracelet makes you happy, but Cartier's rose gold bracelet worth more than 200 million is exactly what you refuse, and preferring a street-side stall bracelet out of nowhere, I really don't know what else to say to you"
He had no idea that this purple jade bracelet was the relic bracelet of a Royal princess worth 600 million, and Cartier's rose gold bracelet was no match for it.
Mary is in a very bad mood at the moment. Because Erwin was sitting with them, so many relatives approached, but after learning that Erwin was Lina's boyfriend, they all showed curious gazes. And their curious gaze instantly turned into a look of disdain when they found out Erwin was a poor child from the countryside.
And Mary was really upset by the rumors of her relatives and friends.
"Have you heard that the daughter of the Lucas family has a girlfriend of a poor boy from the countryside? And Lucas just really flattered him like a sycophant, really funny."
"Seriously? Lina's really pretty, but why have a poor boyfriend?"
"Who knows? I heard also that Lucas' company was going bankrupt, and the capital chain was trapped by land investment east of the city."
"Hehe, their family has been so unlucky lately, that second brother-in-law used to show off a lot. But you see him now? He did not even dare to raise his head! It's really funny."
…
The so-called relatives and friends, when there are unlucky, all make it an entertaining spectacle.
Mary could not bear listening anymore, she suppressed the anger in her heart, turned her head and said to Erwin.
"Erwin, come out with Auntie, Auntie wants to have a face-to-face conversation with you."
Mary could not bear the rumors, as she had never been ridiculed like this before.
“Oh.” Erwin nodded, then followed Mary outside the room, and when she reached a quiet corner, Mary immediately said bluntly.
"Erwin, I hope you can leave my daughter, you don't fit in with her."
Erwin looked dumbfounded, why it was now Lina's mother's turn to persuade him this time, but she would not leave Lina, and would not let Lina belong to another man, either, so he firmly replied.
"Tante, I'm not leaving Lina."
"Do you really want to make me angry? Our Lina is the most beautiful among the members of the Aleda family, but instead of having the poorest girlfriend, my face and my pride would be as ruined as what? "Mary was angry to the point of stomping her feet.
"Tante, I'll work hard. Now that I've become a department manager, so please give me a little more time, I promise I'll achieve a better result." Erwin took it seriously.
“Erwin, I admit that you are indeed very great, because after three years of graduation, I will admit, from you who are only a rural child can reach the position of department manager is indeed not an easy thing, but the community today is a society that depends on connections and relationships, so even if you've been fighting your hardest for the rest of your life, sometimes the final frontier of a country boy like you is just a starting point for rich kids."
Mary paused for a moment, then continued, continuing,
"You know Vincent, right? He also likes Lina, with a net worth of more than two trillion, plus the Louis family is also one of the top families in Bandung City. Can you make more than two trillion dollars in a lifetime? You can't compare to him at all."
Mary was furious upon hearing Erwin's arrogant words.
"Erwin, I hate you so much that big mouth knows? Already have no power but still rich pretentious here. I'm lazy to talk to you, take this 400 million check, and leave Lina."
Mary seems to have prepared this check from the beginning, and took it from her bag and gave it to Erwin.
Erwin opened his mouth and did not know what to say. Is communication this simple today? Explain everything with money? But rather than him spending time convincing Mary, it might be better to give her a meeting gift, just like Lina's father had done before.
Why convince hard-earned losers can explain everything with money?
“Tante, I won't accept this money." Erwin said as he pulled out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote 20 billion on it, then tore it apart and gave it to Mary
"Tante, this is 20 billion, just think of it as our meeting prize! You'll know what I say is true in the future."
Mary's dumbfounded. He did not expect that this poor boy would be so big of a mouth, so he was very angry, and thought that the check was a fake check, which Erwin used to act rich pretentious.
"Erwin, you're too disappointing Auntie, I would never agree that Lina is dating you, because you're not worthy."
No matter how good Erwin's temperament was, he remained unhappy upon hearing that, and replied, No matter how good Erwin's temper was,
"Tante, you are now looking down on me, but next, you might be busy flattering me."
After Erwin put the 20 billion check into Mary's hands, she immediately returned to the room.
Mary looked at the check she thought was this fake furiously.
After returning to the room, Erwin was surprised to see his personal assistant Damon in the room. Damon who has parties in the field of law and dark organizations, as well as the ruler of the High Build Group in the city of Bandung, this makes rich people in this room scramble to get acquainted with him.
Many people surrounded him toast and talk to him, but they were all ignored, instead, he just toasted to David on his birthday today, because he also had been a student of Professor David's upbringing for a year, but that was a very long time on campus.
The reason for his arrival today was originally to check out Padma Hotel, which is a High Build Group hotel, but happened to meet his former professor who was celebrating his 80th birthday, so he all came here to toast a glass of wine.
"Mr Damon, I'm Darwin, Professor Aleda's third son, nice to meet you."
"Mr Damon, I'm Simon, Professor Aleda's eldest son, if there's a chance for her future cooperation."
...
Not only were some of David's sons rushing to get acquainted with Damon, even David's other fellow students also wanted to toast Damon, too, because by toast once with Damon alone is enough to make them able to brag about themselves who know each other with one of the important figures in the city of Bandung.
“Sorry everyone, Mr. Damon is very busy, so next time just.” Damon's personal assistant and bodyguard stop the guests surrounding Damon.
After Damon finished his toast to David, he followed his bodyguard to leave. However, his eyes suddenly saw Erwin who was standing in a corner, his body suddenly trembling slightly, and face was extremely excited.
"Everything please make way." Damon, who had just wanted to leave, suddenly turned around and walked back. He also excitedly pushed through the crowd and walked in, which made everyone on the scene curious as to what Mr Damon was doing?
Almost all eyes followed, and while Damon was rushing on the road, he did not forget to tidy up his own clothes that were a little messy due to the crowd earlier.
Immediately, Damon respectfully came before Erwin, whom they considered to be a poor child from the countryside, and greeted him with a smile.
"Master mud... Mr. Erwin, why are you here? Why don't you tell me in advance, so I have some preparation."
Damon was meticulous, because before Erwin ever told him not to reveal his identity in public, so he immediately changed and called Erwin as Mr. Erwin, he even poured a glass of wine in Erwin's honor.
But this scene shocked everyone on the scene, they were all shocked and at a loss for words. One of the important figures in the city of Bandung actually poured wine for a rural boy? It was completely unthinkable for them, the atmosphere of the scene became full of terrible surprises.
