"I know it's not acceptable that I have many girlfriends besides your daughter, sir/madam. But this is who I am. I love them, and I told them about this from the beginning, and they still accepted it. I will always make them happy and support everything they want to do. As for my financial status, currently, no one is richer than me in this world. Rest assured about that, ma'am/sir." I bowed my head to express my earnest sincerity.
"What do you mean by the richest?" Suzy's sister asked.
"Neo Gray. That's his full name, and he is currently the first trillionaire in the world and the youngest one. He's that guy." Suzy looked at them with pride and hugged Neo's arm.
"Is that true?" her mom asked.
"Search it up if you don't believe me." After Suzy said this, her sister immediately pulled out her phone and searched for Neo. Many articles showed up on social media.
"Dad, look. Suzy is telling the truth! Neo is a big shot," her older sister said as she showed the articles to their parents, who browsed each one.
"I'm young and don't have a degree, but I have the most important thing in the world that is needed to survive. So, as I was saying, please don't worry about Suzy. I will give her the world," I said.
"Like I said earlier, I'm not against you dating my daughter. I was just reminding you how cruel the world can be. Since you are financially stable, I'm okay with you. Just wait for me to accept that you have many girlfriends. You're living a king's life at this point," her father said.
"I know it's not common for us to have multiple relationships, but I love them. Can I have your approval, sir/ma'am?"
"You have it. Call me Auntie from now on. Don't be so distant. When will you have a child?"
"That was so fast, Mom!" Suzy said, clearly not ready for that yet.
"If Suzy is ready, Auntie."
"You need to marry first, Neo. Call me Uncle then, since I also approve of you dating my daughter," her dad said.
"No worries. I understand Asian customs, Uncle. By the way, since we are here now, here's my gift for you." I put down the paper bag, and Suzy opened it, handing out the gifts to each of them.
"Here's one for you, Dad, and here's one for you, Mom. Uni, you like blue, so that's why I picked this. And for you, you always want to brag, right? Here." Suzy handed over the gifts.
"Wow, a Rolex!" Her brother carefully opened the box and admired what was inside. "Damn! It's beautiful. Thank you, Uni!" He hugged Suzy.
"Don't thank me; I'm not the one who paid for them," Suzy said.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" he rushed to me and hugged me.
"Why are you so thankful that you even call him brother-in-law? It's just a watch, right?" the older sister said, watching how excited he was.
"You don't know, but this is a Rolex. And why it's rainbow... Uni, how much is this?" he asked Suzy.
"I don't remember, but it's very expensive. Do you, Neo?" Suzy asked.
"Ah, that? That should be $472,000 or ₩647,598,192," I replied.
"Isn't that too expensive for just a watch?" Uncle said with shock in his voice.
"Let me see what this is. Wow, so beautiful! Thank you, Neo, for this gift. But how much is this?" Big sister looked at Suzy, who glanced at me.
"$480,500 or ₩659,260,448."
"Ah, I'm falling in love with this. I can't sleep without seeing it!" the older sister exclaimed dramatically.
"So expensive! You could buy a house with that kind of money," Auntie said as she looked at her own box. She opened it and saw the iced-out Patek.
"Whoa, are these real diamonds? Honey, look! It looks good on me, right? How much is this then?" she asked, turning to Neo.
"$657,000 or ₩901,423,755."
"Wow, watches are so expensive. I should hold onto it even when I'm sleeping!" Auntie said, starry-eyed.
"Let me see what my son-in-law brought me!" Uncle quickly changed my title.
"You're fast, Father. Previously you called him 'young man,' then it became 'Neo,' and now 'son-in-law,'" the older sister pointed out.
"You know, as a man, you need to adapt to any situation. Don't be stubborn about accepting reality, okay? Wow, this looks amazing! Richard Mille—what's more expensive, this or a Rolex?" Once again, they looked at Neo.
"I don't know about that. I only know that your watch is more expensive than those three combined, Uncle. It's worth $1,750,000 or ₩2,401,052,621," Neo replied.
"That much?! Damn! Honey, you may need to give up your space in bed. My watch will be taking that spot!" Uncle hugged the watch, protective of it.
Aunty knocked his head and said, "What's wrong with you, huh? You want to sleep outside?" he added in a threatening voice.
"I was just joking, honey, hehe. By the way, thank you for the gift, Neo," Uncle said.
"Thank you, Neo. Let's go eat something; it's already lunchtime," Auntie invited us to the dining table.
While we were eating, my secretary called me. "Excuse me, can I take this?" I asked, and they nodded. I stood up and went to the living room.
"Hello, Sali," I answered.
"Hello, boss. Good evening—well, good afternoon for you. I just wanted to let you know that I got that card from Chase, and I'm currently on the way to Korea. Are we staying there for a few weeks, or will we be leaving immediately?"
"We'll stay for a few more weeks, Sali. Once you arrive, please inform me and come to my hotel with the pilots and the steward. I want to meet all of you, okay?"
"Noted, boss. Do you need anything else?" she asked.
"Nothing for now. Enjoy your flight. Bye." After the call, I walked back to the table.
"Who was that, Neo?" Suzy asked, and her family looked at me.
"That was my secretary. I had asked her to hire pilots and instructed her to come to Korea. This is the first time I'm seeing the plane I bought."
"Is it a private plane? Wow! I want to be a pilot, so I know a lot about planes. What did you buy, brother-in-law? A Gulfstream?" Suzy's brother said excitedly.
"It's an Airbus A350."
"What?! That plane alone costs $350 million! I'm sure you customized it, right?" He was so excited that he stood up.
"It was already customized when I bought it. The previous owner only used it once and was eager to sell it to make some money."
Before we could continue our conversation, my phone rang again. I looked at it awkwardly and said, "Excuse me again."
"What do you need, Jack? You're interrupting me," I said.
"Huh! All you do is fool around, Neo. I saw what you're doing in Korea. By the way, the shop will open in 2 days from now. Are you sure we don't need a grand opening or some kind of celebration?" Jack asked.
"We don't need that. We already have a website, right? Arrange interviews and announce that the first two weeks of the opening will be 15% off. Also, contact our streaming friends to promote us and visit the store."
"And contact Sali right now to bring various kinds of jewelry for promotion. She's about to come here," he added.
"Okay, Neo. Enjoy your life there, bye." He hung up the phone.
Once again, I walked back to the dining table, and once again, Suzy asked, "Who was that this time, Neo?"
