Ordinary people can also be the protagonist in a comic strip

"Being able to give such a gift, Mom really wants to meet Mr. Lorraine. He must be very rich, right?"

“Well… how should I put it?”

Fumiko Amakawa hesitated and didn't know how to explain it.

You say Lorraine is rich, and indeed the wealth in his ring is probably more than that of the richest man in the world.

But if you say he is poor, Lorraine really can't afford to pay much money and is extremely poor.

-

Lorraine's so-called wealth was basically all based on high-value rare items, such as gold... Although Lorraine also had some, they were basically stored in the warehouse gathering dust, and he was basically reluctant to use them.

Also.

In this modern society, it is not easy to exchange a large amount of gold into banknotes.

Of course, Lorraine also had some special channels, but for him, once the banknotes of this world were transported across time, they would become pure waste paper. Gold, after all, was considered hard currency, and the two were simply incomparable.

Even if one tael of gold is exchanged for 1 billion RMB.

For him, it was equivalent to exchanging one ounce of gold for ten tons of mud.

-

"Xunzi, what's wrong with you? Is there anything about Mr. Lorraine that I don't want to know? Please, you are all going to get married, and I am not an outsider. I am not against you or anything."

"Lorraine... well, I don't know whether he is rich or poor."

"What's the matter? He took Schrodinger's cat coin?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"What kind of job does he have now? He should be the chairman of some super large company, or a domineering CEO, right?"

"He..., he's a homeless man."

"what?"

Mrs. Tianchuan was stunned for a few seconds. "What do you mean? Doesn't he even have a place to live? Doesn't he live in a luxurious villa?"

"He set up his tent deep in the mountains and forests."

"Setting up the tent..."

that moment.

Fumiko Amakawa clearly saw red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple... all kinds of colors flashing on her mother's face.

Mrs. Tianchuan tried hard to keep herself calm.

"Xunzi, you really know how to joke with your mother, haha."

"No, Lorraine's condition is like this."

"How can a poor homeless man afford such a valuable ring???"

"Yeah, what's wrong, is it weird?"

"Isn't it strange?"

Mrs. Tianchuan gestured, showing the ring in her hand, "It's like a beggar driving a Lamborghini, and the people around him are still very reasonable. Do you know how much this ring is worth? It is something that our family may not be able to afford in several lifetimes, dozens of lifetimes, or even hundreds of lifetimes. Just look at the workmanship and the gems on it..."

"Oh, this is something that people worked hard to make themselves."

"Do it yourself..."

Mrs. Tianchuan's expression was even more interesting now. "You mean the beggar built a Lamborghini by hand, right?"

"That's it."

"What the hell! You are making a fool of your mother."

"Oh, that's the truth, so if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."

Mrs. Tianchuan had a serious expression on her face. "Xunzi, if it weren't for the photo of you that was taken at the beach still on the coffee table, and if mom knew that Mr. Lorraine really existed, mom would definitely send you to a mental hospital for a physical examination."

"..."

"Every word you say now makes me feel insulted, but the facts are in front of me and I have to believe them."

"Lorraine's situation is very complicated. Mom, I can't tell you everything because it involves many important things. In addition... I hope you can keep it a secret from all outsiders about Lorraine's affairs."

"The hidden storyline of the down-and-out CEO?"

"Mom, please watch less melodramatic TV series!"

"I see. It's about a foreign prince who's trying to escape the war, isn't it?"

"What a mess."

"Could it be an alien? Or a time traveler? It doesn't matter, Xunzi. Mom is well-informed and can accept any amount of information! You have to believe in mom!"

"This one……"

"He's my future son-in-law after all, so I won't harm him! When will you bring him here for me to meet? It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a house, he can live in our house! It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a job, I'll make money to support him!"

"???"

Tianchuan Xunzi felt that her mother had begun to speak incoherently, "Mom, he is my lover, how can you earn money to support him?"

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you raise one or two."

"I will go out to work in the future."

"What about the son-in-law?"

"He... he should have his own things to do, so just let him take care of the family. Anyway, his cooking skills are world-class. If you've eaten, you'll know. He has his own secret recipe. The food he makes is so delicious, as if it's made with that stuff. You'll want to eat more after you've eaten it. It's so delicious that you can't stop. It's so delicious that you'll be obsessed with it."

"It's really the setting of a hidden boss! Mom knew it..., hahahaha, Xunzi, you found a treasure, mom is so happy for you."

"......"

"Bring it back quickly so that mom can get to know it well."

"This one……"

"Love requires initiative and striving. Don't always expect men to take the initiative. If you are bolder, progress will be made immediately. Listen to your mother, it's right!"

"I'll think about it..."

-

-

For the commotion caused by the ring.

In fact, similar situations also occurred in other girls' homes.

Aragawa's house.

"Oh my God, my little Qiwu, is this really the ring that Xiao Linlin gave you personally? Wow, Mom has never seen such a beautiful ring in her life. It's hard to imagine how many people would fight for it if this ring was put up for auction."

"Hehe, what's the big deal, mom, you're making such a fuss, this is just an ordinary gift that Xiao Linlin gave me, hahahaha."

"Qiwu is the best! The wedding must be held to the highest standards!"

"oh!!!"

-

Gu Liqi's family.

"Gurisu-chan, are you telling the truth? Is this really a gift from Brother Lin? But no matter how you look at it..., it's a little too early for you, isn't it? Could it be that Brother Lin really is..."

"You said this is a gift for your future self? How can you get engaged so early? This won't do. You'd better invite Brother Lin to your home first so that Mom can have a good talk with him."

"This kind of thing will take at least another ten years."

"Don't look unhappy. Girls are hard to keep when they grow up. Mom is doing this for your own good. It's also stipulated by the law."

-

The home of Haruka Hanabishi.

"Xiaoyao, it's time to formally introduce your brother Lin to mom. Stop grinning at your ring. Mom knows it's beautiful, but material things are only external things. The most important thing in life is what kind of person the other person is."

"We can guarantee it for my brother!" x3

"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. That Brother Lin is not your lover. What does he have to do with you?"

"Mom, let's wait for this kind of thing."

"What are you waiting for? Wait until mom becomes an old woman, right? If I had known that day would come, I would not have worked overtime and would have sneaked back to see what you were doing."

"Mother???"

-

The Pearl family.

"Haha, look at this ring, it will show different luster under different light sources. It's really beautiful. It will also emit different luster at night. It's amazing!"

"Alright, alright... Zhenzhu, stop showing off your shabby ring in front of mom. Really, having a ring is not that great."

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"I still don't think so."

"What's not working?"

"You can marry our Zhenzhu, but you can't just kidnap our daughter without any explanation! As her mother-in-law, don't I have any expression at all? Don't I have a ring?"

"Mom, are you okay? How could Lorraine give rings to both us at the same time?"

"Oh, Mom was just saying it casually. I don't really want it, but this basic etiquette still needs to be followed, right? Yes, it's a tradition after all, haha."

-

The home of the Mo family.

"Why didn't you discuss this with mom? Mom, you got married without my knowledge. I'm really troubled!"

"Oh, that's annoying. I told you it's not like that."

"What does it look like? Where's your boyfriend? Bring him back for me to see. I'll definitely treat him with some good fruit."

"Mom, you are so nagging. It's just a ring."

"What did you say? It's just a ring. Are you serious? Such an expensive ring is enough to buy the lives of our entire family. I never thought that the domineering CEO comics would really happen in my own family, and to my own daughter. It really makes me excited and scared."

"Mom, that's enough!"

-

The Hiiragi family.

"Daughter, be good and let mom wear it for a while, okay? Just wear it for a few days, so that mom can show off to her colleagues at work."

"No, this is something Brother Lin gave to me specially."

"Mom is discussing this with you."

“Umm, no no no… I just don’t want it anymore…”

"If you continue like this, then Mom is not discussing this with you."

"Robbers, bandits, how can they rob like this?"

"Mom just wants to experience the joy of a newlywed life again. Don't you, Wu Tina, even want to satisfy Mom with this little request?"

"Mom, if you want it, just go ask Brother Lin for it yourself! I won't give it to you anyway."

"Let mom go ask Brother Lin for it herself? Okay, okay, remember what you said today. Mom won't snatch it from you. I'll ask Brother Lin to give me a ring as well. Hehe, I'll wear it on my right ring finger too."

"Oh no, no, no, no! I'm wrong, Mom, can't I lend you this ring?"

"Who cares about belated generosity? Mom has changed her mind. As the saying goes, 'It's better to have something yourself than to have it from your parents.' If mom wants something, you should earn it yourself."

"No!!!--"
