"My sister, on the other hand, is a different story. She’s changed so much."
"Oh? How has she changed?" Wang Chuan asked, his interest piqued.
Yan Feifan said, full of dissatisfaction, "When she buys clothes and shoes now, the first thing she looks at is the brand. If it’s not some trendy, well-known label, she won’t buy it."
"And her cosmetics... Mr. Wang, you have no idea. Her vanity is piled high with all sorts of bottles and jars."
"Su Ye told me that everything on my sister’s vanity, all added up, is worth as much as a mid-range sedan."
Wang Chuan couldn’t help but laugh. "Aren’t most women like that these days? When there’s extra money in the house, they’re willing to invest a lot in their appearance."
"Besides, you’re earning several million a month. Is it really a big deal for your sister to spend a few hundred thousand of it?"
"Being able to spend money is a skill in itself!"
"If you only earn and never spend, like some kind of Grandet, how are you supposed to stimulate domestic demand and keep the economy going?"
"Am I right?"
He glanced at Yan Feifan again and chuckled. "And what you’re wearing, inside and out, that’s all designer stuff too, isn’t it?"
Yan Feifan explained, "I’m never picky about brands for my clothes and shoes. I just wear whatever my sister and Su Ye buy for me."
"Compared to my income, what my sister spends isn’t a lot. But if you compare it to how she used to be, her spending has escalated way too quickly."
He recalled, "Just a few months ago, she was still pinching pennies, buying off-season sale items and high-end knockoffs. Now, she’s only after the latest authentic products."
"I figure in a little while, she’ll be aiming for global limited-edition designer items."
Wang Chuan laughed. "Nothing to worry about there. It’s not like you can’t afford it."
"A truly successful man is one who can let his partner and family shop to their hearts’ content, without ever having to look at the price tag."
Yan Feifan rolled his eyes and sighed. "If this keeps up, I’m afraid no one will dare marry her. She’ll be stuck on my hands."
Wang Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle. "You’re worried about that? I hear several handsome young guys from the hospital are pursuing her."
"For real? My sister never mentioned it to me."
Yan Feifan was a little surprised and pressed, "Mr. Wang, do you know who they are?"
"To be honest, I don’t approve of my sister getting involved with a doctor."
"Why?" Wang Chuan asked curiously.
Yan Feifan huffed. "If they’re not skilled, I won’t approve. If they are skilled, they’ll never have time for family."
"I want my sister to find someone who will dote on her and love her."
"It doesn’t matter if the guy makes money or not. I can support their whole family now anyway."
Wang Chuan chuckled teasingly, "And just a moment ago, you were complaining about your sister’s lavish spending."
Just then, Yan Feifan’s phone rang.
He looked and saw it was a call from his sister.
"When are you guys going to get here? We’ve got the barbecue all ready, just waiting for you to get back..."
