Chapter 24: Birthday Banquet (6)

That's because the system suddenly popped out to remind him.

{Host please note that there is a 3-hour left to the task. After the countdown ends, if the host does not complete the task, this system will recycle all system rewards (except for the sent car A201 Pagani sports car)}

A servant came over and whispered something in Choi Jaywon's ear.

Choi Jaywon suddenly stood up, and said to Lee Minho with an apologetic face.

"Young Master Lee, please excuse me. My father needs me to go out to receive a special guest."

"Alright " Lee Minho nodded.

Choi Jaywon patted Yoon Jungsu and the others on the shoulders, and said.

"I'll be back."

Yoon Jungsu then said. "Just and go do your work, we will take good care of Young Master Lee."

Watching Choi Jaywon leave, Lee Minho couldn't help asking the system in his mind.

'System, can you tell me how much is the most expensive gift Xia Canyang has received so far?'

The system quickly gave the answer.

{The most expensive gift Choi Jaywon has received so far is shares in the Choi Group worth 500 million.}

'500 million group shares?' Lee Minho was stunned.

He also considered before, that if the value of a sports car is not enough, he can just swipe out the 10 million in the card, and he

should be able to complete the task no

matter what.

As a result, poverty limited his imagination.

500 million shares, and the 10 million quota in his card. There is simply no comparison.

The smile on Lee Minho's face disappeared completely, and then he turned on the music on the phone with his fingers pretending to be casual.

He also stood up, and said to Yoon Jungsu and the others, "Excuse me, I'll just answer

the phone."

After finishing speaking, Lee Minho quickly left and walked towards the back garden where the least people were.

There are only a few people left in the back garden.

Lee Minho found a relatively dark corner, put the phone to his ear, and pretended to make a call.

Do a full set of acting, after all, there are cameras in the back garden.

"System, how about this? Let me discuss with you. If this mission failed. Just collect the car and the card. How about leaving the house for me to live in temporarily? Anyway, it's all transferred to me.}

It's okay if the car is gone, and the 10 million in the card is gone, it's nothing.

But if he doesn't even have a house, then he really needs to sleep on the street. And the money in his pocket is not enough to rent a house at all.

However, the system ignored Lee Minho's pleading.

{Host, please don't expect to change the punishment, and try to complete the task while the countdown is not yet over.}

"Work hard to complete the task? 500 million, even if you sell me, it's not even a fraction of 500 million. Where can I get a gift that is more valuable than 500 million?"

The system replied.

{The so-called richest birthday gift doesn't just refer to money. As the host of the system showing off wealth, how can you only focus on money?}

Qiu Shui rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary person, So I'm still so superficial. Otherwise, the system will show me what the richest gift is, so I can learn it. After all, the best teacher also has to use his own body. It's a trial, isn't it?"

Hearing Lee Minho's words, the system fell silent.

Seeing that the system was silent, Lee Minho continued.

"System, you can't do this. You also know that I am a superficial person as your host. If a superficial person like me try to complete the task on my without the system helping me then how can I understand?"

He then asked. "What is the real meaning of the so-called showing off wealth? If I don't understand, then this task will definitely not be completed in the future. If I can't complete the task, maybe we will die together thanks for everything."

{Host, don't try to fool this system. This system cannot help the host complete the task. The host can only complete it by itself.}

The system felt that it being fooled by this superficial host.

After arguing to the system for about 5 minutes the system finally gave in and will try to help him complete the task.

But only lending a hand. The task needs to be completed by the host itself.

As soon as Lee Minho turned around and

walked into the villa, he heard a noise.

In the living room in front, many

people formed a circle.

Inside the circle, is a young man in a

white suit.

Standing in front of the man, it looked

like a pure and beautiful girl in her twenties, wearing a white dress.

Beside the girl stood is also a young man in a dark blue suit. The man in the blue suit said apologetically to the man in the white suit.

"Im sorry, I realy didn't mean it. Don't worry I will definitely compensate you for your clothes."

The young man in white suit lowered his head and glanced at the red wine-stained clothes on his chest, then said coldly to the man standing in front of him with a gloomy

face.

"Pay? Do you know how much my clothes cost? Can you afford it?"

Standing next to the man was a girl in a small white dress. When she saw that the young man in white suit had such a bad

attitude towards her boyfriend, she immediately became unhappy.

"Isn't it just a suit? We'll pay for how much it costs. Lu Quiang my boyfriend didn't hit you on purpose. I've already told you he's sorry, and we're willing to ompensate you for the suit."

Lu Quiang sneered and said.

"Choi Hyejin it was your boyfriend who bumped into me first, and the red wine in my hand stained my clothes. Now not only are my clothes dirty, I also lost face in front of so many people Do you think it's just a piece of clothing and an apology will do the trick?"

"Then what do you want?" Choi Hyejin's pretty face was flushed with anger.

Lu Quiang cast a glance at the man beside Choi Hyejin, and then said sneeringly.

"Of course I want your bumpkin boyfriend to kneel down and apologize to me, and then pay me three times the money for this suit, not much. Just one million."

"One million? Why don't you grab it?"

Choi Hyejin didn't expect that Lu Quiang would open his mouth like a lion, and what made her even more angry was that Lu Qiang actually want her boyfriend to kneel down and apologize.

Keep dreaming.

Standing beside Choi Hyejin the young man wearing a dark blue suit also said angrily.

"Let me kneel down and apologize, and pay a million? This is getting too far fetched. Why are you daydreaming? Besides, you deliberately started hitting me."

Because there were people around, Lee Minho only saw Choi Hyejin's side face, and he felt very familiar at that time.

Then hearing the voice of the boyfriend next to Choi Hyejin.

Lee Minho froze. It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

Kang Dongwon specially put on new leather shoes tonight, and got a stylish hairstyle.

The purpose is to give his girlfriend, Choi Hyejin's family a good impression.

Although his girlfriend has changed a lot, this time his girlfriend is different from the previous ones.

His previous girlfriends were just for fun, the kind that were not prepared for a life time.

And the current girlfriend of Kang Dongwon was special. He's giving her his sincerity.

The kind that thought about going to get married.

Therefore, he is very concerned about

Choi Hyejin's affairs.

Originally, Kang Dongwon thought that what Choi Hyejin said about his cousin's birthday party was the kind where his family set up a few tables casually at home or in a hotel outside.

Unexpectedly, the birthday party that Choi Hyejin mentioned to him was really not a birthday party but a luxurious birthday banquet.

And it was the kind held in the villa

Although Kang Dongwon's family opened

three furniture factories, the total value of the three furniture factories could be several hundred million at most.

For other ordinary people, Kang Dongwon's status as a rich second generation is enviable enough.

But in the face of these behemoths in Kyoto that can easily cost billions or tens of billions, the three factories in his family are not enough to look at.

Although this villa is not within the Azure Retreat.

It is located in the Mountain Retreat were it's still very remarkable.

When he was with Choi Hyejin, Kang Dongwon basically paid for their daily consumption.

It was Kang Dongwon choice to pay the bill. After all, as a boyfriend, how could he make his girlfriend pay the bill.

Choi Hyejin occasionally pays the bill forcefully, and only goes to places that ordinary people can afford.

Although Choi Hyejin is pretty, she only wears plain clothes and doesn't have any famous brands. She is very frugal, and occasionally go out to do part-time jobs.

Therefore Kang Dongwon always thought that his girlfriend's family conditions were ordinary.

After all, Choi Hyejin also said that her family is very ordinary.

What he didn't expect that this so-called ordinary is only compared to other relatives in Choi Hyejin's family.

Just like her cousin who held a birthday party this time.

When Kang Dongwon came to the villa on the Mountain Retreat he was shocked.

It was only when Choi Hyejin took him to greet her cousin and aunt that Kang Dongwon came to his senses.

He was so lucky that he managed to tidied up everything carefully today. Otherwise, it would be a big shame.

But unexpectedly, not long after entering the villa, Kang Dongwon accidentally bumped into someone.

To be precise, the man bumped into him on purpose.

After bumping into Kang Dongwon, the man began to suspect and deliberately finding fault.

"How dare you be so arrogant after bumping into this young master?"

Lu Quiang snorted coldly, and said to Choi Hyejin. "Choi Hyejin, your vision for finding men is really bad you can't afforda million dollars?"

Lu Quiang continued. "Dumped him and followed me. The one million dollars. There is no need for him to pay. Just kneel down and apologize to this young master."

Lu Quiang 's eyes lingered greedily on Choi Hyejin's pure and beautiful face, and he didn't say the following words.

But the threat was self-evident. He was really deliberately finding fault.

He had chased Choi Hyejin for a long time before, but Choi Hyejin was not interested.

However what makes him angry was the one who became the boyfriend of Choi Hyejin was a country bumpkin.
