Chapter 711 - 339: Qiu Lizhen’s Gift, Richard Mille Watch!
Clatter~
Qiu Lizhen’s hand shook, and she spilled a pile of colorful little booklets onto the tea sea.
Seeing this pile of property deeds, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but twitch his eye a few times.
Is this the power of a real estate queen in Beijing!
"Little brother, I was in a hurry today, so I didn’t prepare any gifts."
"These are the ten or so properties I own in Beijing, take a look for yourself and pick one you like!"
Qiu Lizhen looked at Jiang Tao with a smiling gaze, finding her god-brother more and more pleasing to the eye!
Handsome and charming, with a great physique and a good aura!
If she were ten years younger, she’d definitely make a move on him.
But now, Qiu Lizhen knew her worth.
Apart from a decent figure, her looks are just slightly above average, and she’s already in her forties.
Being able to accept Jiang Tao as her god-brother was already fulfilling in her heart.
Jiang Tao: "Sister Qiu..."
Qiu Lizhen corrected him: "Call me sister."
"Okay, sister, this gift is too expensive, I can’t take it."
Jiang Tao looked at Qiu Lizhen, half crying, half laughing.
A property in Beijing, at the very least, starts at four or five million, this gift is indeed too heavy!
If it were the old Jiang Tao who used to haul goods at the Red Star Second-hand Wholesale Market, he wouldn’t be able to resist such temptation.
After all, this is something he might never afford in a lifetime!
Even if he had to throw away his pride, he’d still choose the largest one!
But now, Jiang Tao’s total assets surpass a modest goal.
He has tens of millions in just cash deposits alone.
And tens of millions more in financial products.
Every day, his wealth from special items and business income ranges from hundreds of thousands to over a million.
At this point, a few million in property is not really an impressive asset for him anymore.
He can now calmly refuse such enormous temptations.
"Compared to our sibling relationship, this stuff means nothing!"
"Besides, my life is yours now, let alone a few houses."
"Listen to your sister, just pick one quickly!"
"If you don’t pick, I’ll pick for you!"
Qiu Lizhen said while starting to sift through the pile of property deeds.
Jiang Tao placed his hand over hers, chuckling helplessly:
"Sister, let’s not do this, I have houses of my own, more than I can live in, giving me more would be pointless."
"Are you silly? If you can’t live in them, you can rent them or sell them, it’s up to you!"
"Anyways, once I give you the house, do with it as you please."
Qiu Lizhen, not taking no for an answer, continued browsing through the property deeds, muttering as she went.
"This one near Desheng Gate, it’s 120 square meters, on the 10th floor, the property prices around Desheng Gate are decent, but the area is a bit small."
"Unless, how about this villa your sister has? If you like it, the villa is yours."
Qiu Lizhen looked at Jiang Tao, her tone not joking at all.
Jiang Tao, half crying, half laughing, said:
"Sister, if you keep acting like this, then maybe we should cut ties and end this sibling relationship."
"Don’t! It’s rare for your sister to have such a good brother like you, how can we just cut ties? This is just a small token of my affection."
Hearing Jiang Tao talk about ending their relationship made Qiu Lizhen nervous.
Everyone expresses love differently.
Some through praise and encouragement to show affection.
Some spend time together enjoying each other’s company.
Some through physical touch like hugs and kisses express love.
Some show care and affection by doing things for others.
And some, like Qiu Lizhen, express their love through gift-giving.
Jiang Tao explained with a smile:
"Your sentiment is enough, sister, but such a heavy gift I really can’t accept."
"Besides, even if I accept, I would have to return a gift of equal value to you."
"In that case, it’s simply causing trouble for us without a reason."
Qiu Lizhen argued: "It’s only natural for a sister to give gifts to her brother, he doesn’t need to give back."
Jiang Tao said: "That won’t do, in my philosophy, it’s always give and take, there’s no such thing as taking something from others for nothing."
Qiu Lizhen rolled her eyes at Jiang Tao: "Is your sister ’others’ to you?"
Jiang Tao laughed: "Even between siblings there are limits, what’s that saying? Talking about money hurts feelings!"
"Hehe, you’re quite the smooth talker, sister can’t out-argue you!"
Seeing Jiang Tao persistently refusing her gift, Qiu Lizhen liked this newly recognized brother of hers even more.
Houses worth millions, even tens of millions, who else but him would refuse?
This silly brother who sees money as dirt, his character is impeccable!
"Sister, I see you don’t really need the small earnings from the lottery store over there, for your own safety, I suggest you don’t go there anymore in the future."
After a few casual conversations, Jiang Tao advised Qiu Lizhen from a safety perspective.
Liu Qiang is definitely done this time, but because he hasn’t caused any substantial harm to Qiu Lizhen, the situation isn’t too severe.
Even if sentenced, it might not be for long. If he behaves well, he might even get a reduced sentence and be out early.
Whether Liu Qiang will reform or seek revenge, no one can say for sure.
So there is still a certain risk if Qiu Lizhen continues to go to the lottery store.
"You’re right, sister doesn’t really need that small change, it’s just a hobby anyway."
