Just after five o'clock in the morning, the city was still gray. The streets of Tokyo were silent. There were only a few cars in the most prosperous neighborhoods. Only the most miserable office workers wanted to squeeze in to get to the morning rush hour.
A tram leaves an hour in advance to occupy a favorable position at the station entrance, or homeless travelers shuttle through this steel forest-like city, like aimless walking zombies.
The Bulgari Hotel is one of the most luxurious five-star hotels in Tokyo. It is located in the Midtown Building on Yaesu 2-chome. It is adjacent to high-end shopping areas such as Nipponbashi and Ginza and famous tourist attractions such as the Imperial Palace and Ueno Park. It is only a short distance from Marunouchi.
The financial district is only a stone's throw away and is undoubtedly a prosperous area.
Among them, for mid-range business suites, the one-night stay fee is an exaggerated figure of 16,000 yuan during non-tourist peak seasons.
RMB.
Early in the morning, or early in the morning to be precise, all the lights in Lu Mingze's room were turned on.
"Damn it, who is it? Didn't you see that you are still sleeping?" Lu Mingze was woken up from his sleep, but was blinded by the brilliant crystal chandelier, so he covered his head in the quilt, extremely uncomfortable.
He yelled impatiently, "Do you have qualities? Do you have a sense of public morality? There is no girl hidden in my house, so this shouldn't be checked during ward rounds!"
This kid is very angry when he wakes up.
"Lu Mingze!" A loud voice roared out, shaking the glass in the entire room. "How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to say bad words when you go out? Why can't you listen? Now you
You are already a top student studying in the United States. You cannot be like those few hooligans in the community. In the future, your father and I will still rely on you to achieve class leap. If you don't develop good habits early, how will you mix in the upper class in the future!"
Of course, the one who has the magic voice that penetrates her ears can only be her aunt. She is standing at the foot of the bed, looking at the man who she expects to do a big business but is lying on the bed and writhing like maggots under the quilt, and a few people pop up out of nowhere.
The son with dirty words has an angry look on his face.
But what my aunt doesn't know is that the upper class is not completely abstaining from swearing. During the days when Anger was in the underworld, he often humiliated and bullied the idiots of the Sheqiba family. Lu Mingfei's class was very strict.
The rich little goddess Su Xiaoqiang often curses when she is upset. Even Caesar can't control himself from using curse words when he is annoyed, let alone Caesar's bastard father and vice-principal who speak freely.
Hearing his mother's voice, Lu Mingze reluctantly poked his head out from under the quilt, tried his best to open his heavy eyelids, opened the curtains and took a look. Mount Fuji stood quietly in the distance under the leaden sky.
In the deep sleep of the night, there are only a few neon signs shining brightly on the nearby streets. This bustling city has not yet awakened from its slumber at night.
Turning his head, Lu Mingze looked at the clock on the wall again.
"It's only five-fourteen. It's not even bright yet. It's too early!" After seeing the time, Lu Mingze collapsed and fell into the soft quilt. "I was in high school.
I haven’t gotten up so early before. You can go see whatever attractions you want today by yourself. I heard my bed say that it would seal me away for the whole day.”
"What attractions are you visiting? Today is your brother's wedding day. You don't know!" Auntie raised her arm and slapped Lu Mingze's quilt aside, exposing the fat man in the hotel's high-end silk pajamas to the air. "
A text message from her mother-in-law was sent to my mobile phone at seven o'clock yesterday afternoon, saying that a car would be sent to pick us up at the hotel door at six o'clock this morning. I searched it with a translation software. The wording she used was called solemn and cordial. Today we
This family is an important guest!”
"What the hell, who is a good person who tosses his relatives out of bed at five o'clock in the morning when they get married?" Lu Mingze still complained endlessly, "Did my brother get married just to torture me?"
"I've told you, no swearing is allowed, why doesn't this child listen?" Auntie's anger was clearly visible to the naked eye, "Please pay attention to me. If your brother's wife's family hears it later, she will accuse her.
Maybe they are secretly saying how bad our tutors are!"
"My brother and his wife's family are all Japanese. How can they understand Chinese swear words?" Lu Mingze muttered a few words in a low voice, but he didn't have the courage to talk back to his aunt, so he looked around and changed the subject, "Where's my dad? He
Is he still lying in bed? He can't get up at this point, right?"
"Your dad has been called by me a long time ago. He is changing clothes in the next room right now. Lu Mingfei's parents' family sent someone to bring the clothes the day before yesterday. I was afraid that you would damage them and I deliberately kept them until now to bring them to you." Auntie
Putting a high-end-looking handbag on the chair at the foot of Lu Mingze's bed, "They were quite thoughtful about this. They knew that we were just traveling to Japan and didn't prepare formal attire for the wedding, so they rented it specially.
Several sets of clothes were given to us."
As she said that, her aunt took a look at the floor-to-ceiling mirror in Lu Mingze's room. Today she was wearing a lake-green fragrant dress, rare high-heeled shoes, and full make-up and earrings.
I have to say that this outfit does look quite classy. Standing in a splendid high-end hotel room, it makes a middle-aged housewife look like a high-society socialite.
"Rent? Didn't you say that my brother's fiancée's family is very rich? Isn't it too stingy to need to rent clothes?" Lu Mingze complained like this. When he saw the logo of the gift box on the chair, he couldn't help it.
He calmed down and screamed again and again, "Holy shit...holy shit, shit, shit!"
"Didn't I tell you not to use bad words!" Auntie was startled by Lu Mingze, "Why are you so surprised!"
"Balenciaga!" Lu Mingze jumped up from the bed in a hurry, opened the gift box, and made a gasping sound while opening it back, "Hey... or is it a customized model? You can't rent this thing, you can only buy it.
It’s also very difficult to buy. Someone in our school bought a model that’s one level lower than this one. He wears it every time he has a party, and my roommates are so jealous!”
In fact, the guy at the school picked up a senior sister that Lu Mingze had a crush on, so every time that guy wore this outfit and stole the show at a party, Lu Mingze was itching to see it, and he also went to get to know Balenciaga in private.
This brand, he imagined that wearing that set of clothes would attract the attention of many girls, but when he saw the price of the clothes, he gave up instantly... The price was enough to buy a small bedroom in their community, and he
The pocket money I saved was enough to buy two ordinary short-sleeved shirts.
"So these clothes are not rented, but bought by others? Doesn't that mean they were given to us directly?" Auntie was stunned. She suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Mingze cautiously, "What about your father?"
Is the set called Lu or something like Vuitton? Isn’t it also very expensive?”
Two days ago, when my uncle received the clothes, his reaction seemed to be even more exaggerated than Lu Mingze's. At that time, he almost stabbed his face with a bamboo stick when he was burning a bird in the room. When the person who gave the clothes left, he immediately picked up the gift box.
I changed my clothes and even took out the Montblanc watch I bought in Japan to wear. I posed in a few silly poses, took hundreds of photos, and sent them to my WeChat friend group.
"Louis Vuitton? Isn't that LV?" Lu Mingze couldn't calm down at all, "The most ordinary suit costs tens of thousands. If it is also a customized model... hiss!"
"Ah, then don't these sets of clothes together cost at least one hundred thousand?" Auntie carefully touched the skirt on her body, and even planned to take it off quickly and put it back in the gift box. She asked Lu Mingze, "
What about my suit? Is it also a big brand?"
Lu Mingze was not a fashionista. At most, he only saw rich second-generation classmates wearing famous brands, so he wanted to know more about it. He would not be able to tell it just by looking at it on his aunt, so he took a photo with his mobile phone and searched for comparison pictures online.
The moment the result popped up, Lu Mingze's body shook violently.
"Is it very expensive? How expensive? It can't cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, right?" Auntie leaned over to look at Lu Mingze's cell phone.
When I saw the dark-skinned model wearing the same dress as myself on the phone, as well as the introduction and price below, my aunt's eyes almost burst.
"Fragrant... Chanel?" Lu Mingze stumbled and said, "Chinese... fashion conference catwalk style?"
"One, ten, one hundred, one thousand... One, ten, one hundred, one thousand..." Auntie counted the price several times very seriously. After confirming that it was six digits instead of five digits and four digits, she already had it in her mind.
I silently calculated how long it would take me to buy a six-figure dress based on my family's annual income.
No, who would spend six figures on a dress?
But I’m wearing this skirt now!
Damn it, is this world crazy?
"Why did it take so long? Narusawa hasn't gotten up yet?" Uncle's voice sounded outside the room.
Then I saw a middle-aged man with a big back and oily hair, wearing a LV suit and a Montblanc watch. He walked into Lu Mingze's room with his head held high. He looked like a successful man. I don't know.
I thought he was a director or manager of a listed company in Ginza.
"How's it going? It suits me, right?" Uncle folded the collar of his shirt in a very irritated manner, "Those guys in my friend group thought I won the lottery, and said the clothes were fake, so I took the gift box
I took a picture with the label and showed it to them. As of this morning, no one dared to say a word. I was so happy."
"It's not rented..." Auntie still didn't come back to her senses, so her tone was a bit dull.
"What?" Uncle was still immersed in the joy of being in the limelight.
"These clothes are not for rent. Your son said that his suit is custom-made and they only sell it, not rent it." The aunt pointed to the suit of clothes on my uncle's body and said, "This was given to us."
"A gift? Damn, the guy who sent the clothes didn't explain it clearly. I thought he rented it for a few days, so the memory of my camera phone was full." The uncle could see that he was even happier, and after reacting, he was even happier.
I said a little embarrassedly, "They didn't let us spend a penny when preparing for the wedding. They spent money to open such a luxurious hotel for us and gave us such high-end clothes... Isn't it too expensive for them?"
"
"Do you know how much this dress I'm wearing costs?" Auntie pointed to the lake green little fragrant dress.
"As for Chanel, I don't know much about women's clothes, but I always know the brand. I think it costs tens of thousands of dollars." The uncle waved his hand, "So it's a waste of money. Before we leave Japan, let's do it.
Let's buy some gifts for others before we leave. After all, we are half of our in-laws."
"It's a runway model." Lu Mingze suddenly interjected at this time.
"What kind of catwalk style?" Uncle didn't respond yet.
The aunt directly took the phone into the uncle's hand without exiting the page just now.
The uncle had exactly the same reaction as his aunt. When his uncle saw the price, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he burst out with the same "Fuck!" as Lu Mingze did.
The uncle's eyes flickered back and forth between the dark-skinned girl on the phone and his aunt. He opened his mouth several times, but no words came out. It was only after a long time that he choked out one sentence: "These clothes...can't be fake, right?"
At this moment, the uncle was no longer confident. He thought about the silent friends in the group. Maybe it wasn't because they were shocked that they didn't speak. Maybe it was because they already knew that the clothes they took pictures of were fakes, so they chatted and laughed at him secretly.
?
But my nephew’s fiancée’s natal family wouldn’t give my family A-version clothes, right? What’s more, today is my nephew’s big day.
"What the hell, this dress can't be worn on you? This material is completely different from those chiffon, cotton and linen ones!" Auntie reminded, "Have you forgotten, we ate at a ramen stall that night, that ramen
Master, isn’t that little girl’s father? Isn’t there a person in the middle who said that his family had a piece of land worth more than one billion, and he donated it!”
"I remember, I remember, it was more than a billion US dollars!" Lu Mingze was completely refreshed, "I always thought they were the ones who hired them to act in front of us. Looking at it this way, could it be true?"
"What's possible, it's probably true!" Auntie said with a look of pain on her face, "If I have more than a billion, I can't spend hundreds of thousands to give people a few sets of clothes. Isn't it good for me to save money in the bank?
It’s so scary to have money to burn!”
"I might give it away if I have a billion." Uncle's character is not stingy, but he immediately shook his head, "A billion..."
Ordinary families will not be able to save so much money in a lifetime, and even China's highest-income group, a second-tier star, will not have the chance to save hundreds of millions of dollars in a lifetime. It can only be said that this is no longer a category that transcends classes, and people with more than one billion dollars
Donate when you are told to donate. This is still the private property of the ramen chef. Who knows how rich the family background is?
"Mingfei has really joined an incredible family!" The uncle could not imagine it. "They say that once you enter a wealthy family, you are as deep as the sea. I wonder if Mingfei, the son-in-law of a wealthy family, will be oppressed in the future."
Well, they do bully, but it's not the Sheqiba family that bullies Lu Mingfei, but the Kassel Academy behind Lu Mingfei that suppresses the entire Japanese underworld to the point where it can hardly lift its head.
