Not long after, Fang Yongshang called back. "Mr. He, it's all handled. Should the property be registered in your name?"

"Put it in my wife's name. Also, I'll transfer the money to you in a moment," He Haoxuan instructed.

Fang Yongshang didn't try to persuade him otherwise. He knew that He Haoxuan had very strong principles; when he said he would pay, he would pay. If he pushed the matter, he would only end up being scolded severely.

That afternoon, Li Qingying called He Haoxuan into their bedroom. "He Haoxuan, tell me the truth. What’s going on with those two cars? And the gifts you brought to the Song family today—they cost millions. Where did you get that kind of money?"

Li Qingying had called Song Li and the others, and they had all verified that the items were genuine and had been picked up just that morning; there was no doubt about their authenticity. If they were real, they were worth millions. Where exactly did He Haoxuan get this money?

"Wife, if I told you those things were fake, would you believe me?" He Haoxuan asked.

Li Qingying glared at him. "I thought they were fake at first, too, but I've checked. Everything you gave them is real. That’s worth millions! If you’re lying to me, I’ll be very angry." She looked at him with genuine worry.

She couldn't figure out what methods he had used to obtain so many expensive items. Thinking it over, she began to fear that he might have stolen them. The thought made her even more anxious. What if he got into trouble and was arrested by the police?

Li Qingying said sternly, "He Haoxuan, even if we are poor, we must have integrity. You absolutely must not steal from others."

He Haoxuan chuckled. "Wife, what are you thinking? I bought all those things with my own money."

"No way. How could you have that much money?" Li Qingying didn't believe him. "And don't tell me those two BMW X7s were also bought with your own money."

He Haoxuan nodded. "That's right, I bought them all."

"What? You spent over ten million? How is that possible?" Li Qingying couldn't believe her ears.

Seeing her shock, He Haoxuan worried that he had been too flashy and might have frightened her, so he softened his approach. "Sigh, wife, this is money I earned working abroad over the past few years. You don't need to worry."

"You earned this much working abroad?" Li Qingying remained skeptical.

He Haoxuan replied, "Yes, working abroad is very hard. I got lucky once and won the lottery, so I had some money."

"Then how much money do you have left now?" she asked.

"I've spent it all. I’m broke now." He glanced at her, and seeing that she was no longer as worried, he felt relieved.

"If you're broke, why did you spend millions today?" Li Qingying scolded him.

He Haoxuan thought to himself: *I actually just spent a hundred million earlier.* But he wouldn't dare say that to her.

"Wife, as long as you're happy, it doesn't matter how much money I spend," he said with a shameless grin.

Li Qingying felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but she feigned annoyance. "Hmph, you can't spend money recklessly from now on, or I won't forgive you." The thought of him spending millions at the Song family home still stung a little.

"Wife, I don't have any money left now, so I couldn't spend it recklessly even if I wanted to," he said with a forced, bitter expression.

"By the way, those two BMW X7s really belong to me?" she asked, still finding it hard to believe.

"They really are yours. If you don't believe me, you can take your driver's license to the vehicle administration office tomorrow and ask," he laughed.

Li Qingying remembered that when the police checked the car the other day, they had confirmed the license was genuine. It shouldn't be fake.

"Sigh, He Haoxuan, you spend so much money on me—do you think it's worth it?" she asked.

He Haoxuan puffed out his chest. "Why wouldn't it be? I've always felt that as long as my wife is happy, it wouldn't matter if I became a pauper."

Li Qingying rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Go downstairs now. Come back secretly tonight, but don't climb the window again." She was worried; accidents could happen, and if he fell, it would be a disaster.

"Okay," He Haoxuan nodded happily. Ten million was nothing—as long as his wife was happy, it was all worth it.

That night, at eleven o'clock, Li Qingying prepared for bed. She waited for a while, but He Haoxuan didn't come up. She had sent him a message telling him to come up. Was he waiting for her to fall asleep first?

Suddenly, she heard a strange sound at the window. She turned to look and saw He Haoxuan climbing in through the window again.

"What is wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to climb the window?" Li Qingying snapped, angry.

He Haoxuan looked aggrieved. "Wife, it's not that I want to climb. Your mother seems suspicious that I slept here last night. She was watching me all evening. Even when I went back to my room, she kept knocking on my door to check on me."

"Impossible, my mother isn't like that," Li Qingying shook her head.

But no sooner had she spoken than the door was pushed open and Song Li walked in.

"Aha! He Haoxuan, I knew you were climbing through Qingying's window!" Song Li gritted her teeth in rage.

"Wife, did you see He Haoxuan? He climbed in!" Li Dong's voice drifted up from below the window. It turned out that after Song Li suspected something, she had ordered Li Dong to keep watch outside.

He Haoxuan had been careless, thinking that as long as he locked the door, they wouldn't discover him. He hadn't expected them to be watching him, waiting for him to walk right into their trap.

"That's enough, I've caught him. Come up—no, go to the kitchen, grab a vegetable knife, and then come up," Song Li commanded, her voice full of murderous intent.

"Mom, what are you doing?" He Haoxuan tried to reason with her.

"Hmph, you slept with my daughter last night, and you're asking what I'm doing? I'm going to chop you up!" Song Li grew angrier as she spoke. That good-for-nothing He Haoxuan had taken advantage of her daughter while she was asleep. What was she supposed to do now? If the deed was done, would her daughter have to spend the rest of her life with this loser? Or perhaps, if they killed him, her daughter's reputation would remain intact.

Seeing Song Li looking like she was ready for murder, Li Qingying rushed over, terrified. "Mom, don't do anything reckless!"

"Qingying, do you think I want to be like this? Since He Haoxuan bullied you, we can't let him go. We'll make him wish he were dead!" Song Li shrieked viciously.

Li Qingying stamped her foot in frustration. Her mother wasn't going to let this go. Helpless, she leaned over and whispered into Song Li's ear, "Mom, let me tell you something—those two BMW X7s were bought for me by He Haoxuan. It was his own money."

"Really?" Song Li's expression shifted instantly, her eyes lighting up with greed.
