The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1434

Charlie nodded with a smile and asked. "Is Aunt Matilda there?"

"Of course!" Jacob smiled widely and spoke in a very soft voice, "Your Aunt Matilda is sitting next to me now. I am teaching her how to appreciate Yan ZhenQing's writings!"

"No problem, father!" Charlie laughed. "So, you're currently researching Yan ZhenQing?"

"Yes." Jacob said happily, "Anyway, since when do I only perform research about Yan ZhenQing? I also research Wang XiZhi, Huang TingJian, Liu GongQuan, OuYang Xun, and more. I, your father, do all kinds of research!" 9

Charlie laughed. "Alright. One of these days, I will have to learn from you."

Charlie continued, "Oh, yes! Father, the skincare products that you requested are with me now. Why don't I send it to you now? If I bring it home and mother finds an extra set, it's going to be difficult to handle.

The main reason why Charlie had prepared 3 sets of skincare products was because instead of just giving Elaine one as a gift, naturally, he needed to give one to his wife, Claire, as well, while the third set was for Jacob to present it to Matilda as a gift. 7

However, if he were to bring all three sets home and Elaine happened to find out, other than Claire's portion, Elaine would surely try to think of a way to obtain the other two sets.

Therefore, it was better to separate the set that his father-in-law intended to give to Matilda first.

Jacob immediately perked up with joy after hearing what Charlie had mentioned. "Wow! My awesome son-in-law, you sure are amazing! I just informed you of this matter this morning and you've already got it done. This is simply amazing!"

Charlie smiled a little. "It's just a simple matter, it's nothing much. Give me a while, I will head over there now."

Jacob immediately replied, "In that case, give me a call once you reach the front gate of the university. I will head out to meet you then."

"Ok!" 7

About ten minutes later, Charlie had arrived at the Aurous Hill University's gate.

He stopped his car by the side and made a call to Jacob.

Very quickly, Jacob ran out to his car, leaned on his window, and smiled widely while asking, "Son-in-law, where are the skincare products?"

Charlie came down from the car and opened the trunk. He took out one of the gift baskets and passed i

t to Jacob. "Father, this one is yours. Here, take it."

Jacob reached out and hoisted the gift basket up. With a shocked expression, he asked, "Oh my... This is huge and heavy! How many items were stuffed in here?" 7

Charlie replied, "About a dozen types of products, I think? It is all in a series, it has everything."

Jacob nodded and replied, "Such a large amountbeing sold for tens of thousands shouldn't be too expensive, right?"

Charlie laughed as he replied, "This isn't a few hundred thousand. This is the brand's best and most luxurious products. It is worth three hundred eightyeight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars!" "What?!" Jacob's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. "This one gift basket is worth up to almost four hundred thousand dollars?! That is more than enough to buy two BMWs, and I'm talking about the 5 series! It can even buy an Audi A6!" 6

Charlie nodded. "Yes, that's true."

Jacob smacked his lips and spoke, "Oh... Such expensive cosmetics! Elaine, that smelly hag, is not qualified to use all these luxuries! My dear son-in-law, why don't you go trade the gift basket back for a hundred thousand dollar set for her instead? At least you can save about two hundred thousand!" 3

After a short pause, Jacob continued, "As for the leftover money, just spend it on anything! It's better than spending it all on Elaine. With over two hundred thousand dollars, I think I can buy some antique calligraphy and paintings which I can hang on the walls of the house. At least it can make the house look more compelling, suitable for a scholarly family like mine who appreciates it. Isn't this a better idea?" 7 Charlie laughed and said jokingly. "Well, come to think of it, wouldn't it be better to just return this set and spend a few thousand dollars on a high-end imitation item? That way, I can save up three hundred and eighty thousand dollars."

Jacob slapped his thighs suddenly after listening to Charlie and blurted, "My son-in-law, that is even better! Take this set back and give her a fake set of skincare products! At least this is more suitable for her!"
