My Son Might Be A Villain

After the meal, the two of them finally recalled the three gifts that were sitting on top of the coffee table.

“C’mon. Let’s unwrap your gifts,” said Su Ran. He may not think she had noticed, but Su Ran caught Su Han looking over this direction the entire time while he was eating.

“Which one do you want to start with?” Having said that, Su Ran felt that her question was totally unnecessary as Su Han had already picked the large box that she had prepared for him with no hesitation.

Nevertheless, when the box has finally been opened and, looking at the thick stack of exercise books, Su Han was stunned motionless.

“Dian Zhong Dian?!” (Famous set of exercise books. Think Kaplan.)

“Uh huh. What do you think? Perfect for you, right?”

Su Ran did think about getting Su Han sneakers or something along that line. Then she thought that she could get him sneakers whenever so she finally decided on something that was more practical and meaningful.

Mainly, Su Ran was convinced by the label of “best gift for relative’s children for all events”.

Su Ran: I suspect that this woman did this on purpose; I just didn’t have the proof for it.

“You bought a set for me last time already,” said Su Han with a long face. He didn’t want to reply to her whether it was a “perfect” gift.

“This time is different. This set is more suitable for junior high student and it’s the special edition too.”

Su Han: Hoho, whatever floats your boat.

As much as he looked resentful toward it, Su Han still carefully brought the set of exercise books into his room.

While he was at it, he also took a picture and posted it to his friend's circle: Gift from my mom / picture.

Why was there a hint of gloat hidden inside the chit-talking?

“There are two more gifts. Are you going to unwrap them?” Seeing that Su Han had already started cleaning the table as though his work here was done after he had unwrapped her gift to him, Su Ran couldn't help but asked.

“What’s the need to unwrap those?” asked Su Han uncaringly. What did what the man send have to do with him? He certainly didn’t care for it.

“Okay, if you aren’t going to unwrap them, then I am going to,” said Su Ran. Then, pretending to shake her head, she said, “Aye. I wonder what’s inside. Hopefully, it’s nothing dangerous.”

“Are you watching some crazy television dramas lately again?” While giving Su Ran a look of contempt, Su Han still took the two boxes from Su Ran and started to unwrap them.

He started first with the one from Zhou Fu.

He opened it up; it was a watch.

It was a very simple design and looked very plain. That being said, Su Ran was, after all, a master in her area. She had been around the block a few times.

This was no cheap watch.

After that, Su Han unwrapped the remaining box with a very reluctant look.

A fountain pen lied quietly inside the rectangular box.

Judging from its style and color, the fountain pen had been around for a while.

An obviously dated fountain pen? Truth be told, even with Su Ran’s experience, she still couldn’t tell what was so special about this fountain pen, with the exception of the string of numbers and alphabets that was carved on it.

Not only Su Ran, even Su Han, when he saw the fountain pen, was taken aback a little.

“Pfft. Who still writes with fountain pens nowadays?” was Su Han’s comments that was filled with contempt. Having said that, he placed the fountain pen along with its carrying case back into the box. It was obvious that he intended to put it away for a long, long time.

Had Zhou Fu been there, he would have been very touched.

This fountain pen was no ordinary fountain pen.

This was a pen that had been passed down within the Lu’s for generations. It no longer had any practicality to it but it had long since become the symbol of family head of the Lu’s. It carried with it extraordinary meaning.

As for the series of numbers, that was even more meaningful.

There was a rule within the Lu’s. When each housemaster took over the family, they need to deposit half of their assets into Bank R. After a few generations, the amount in the account was already astronomical. And the series of alphanumeric code on the pen was part of the key.

Granted, the Su’s mother and son, now in possession of an astronomical amount, had no idea about any of these right now.

Su Ran felt better when she noticed that Su Han, though mocked about the gift, didn’t truly appear to feel resentful toward the gift from Lu Shao.
