While speaking, Xu Li lightly moved her toe and spun around in front of Jiang Tao, showing off her figure from every angle.

Her jet-black hair brushed against her fair shoulders, and a pair of Cartier pearl earrings dangled slightly with her movement.

"Wow~ Mom, you’re so beautiful! You’re the most beautiful mom in the world~"

Jiang Xue applauded cheerfully at her mom’s stunning beauty.

Every time she went out with her mom, she felt incredibly proud.

"Uh, it’s pretty, but..."

Jiang Tao’s eyes drifted towards Xu Li’s prominent chest and the completely bare shoulders.

The dress was beautiful indeed, but to him, it seemed a bit too revealing.

Jiang Tao had a bit of a macho mindset.

He didn’t want other men to see his wife’s great figure.

"Silly, this is the way to dress at home, there’s a jacket when going out."

Xu Li glared playfully at Jiang Tao and pulled a dark blue denim jacket from the closet and draped it over her shoulders.

Her fair shoulders and prominent chest were instantly covered up.

Then she retrieved a light pink Hermes silk scarf and tied it around her slender neck.

"How about now?"

Xu Li’s voice was charmingly playful, and the slight upward curve of her eyes was alluring.

"Perfect! My wife is so beautiful!"

Jiang Tao grinned and gave Xu Li two big thumbs up.

He couldn’t believe how lucky he was to marry someone as beautiful and well-figured as Xu Li.

Despite being married for seven or eight years, the passion hadn’t faded; if anything, it had grown stronger.

"Then I’ll wear this. I’ve also picked out an outfit for you, go wash your face and shave."

"Mom just called and said breakfast is ready, she’s urging us to go quickly."

Xu Li said as she picked up a set of clothes she’d chosen for Jiang Tao from the bed and left the walk-in closet.

"Okay, as you command~"

Jiang Tao chuckled, turning to head to the bathroom.

"We’re heading over first, won’t wait for you."

"Dad, hurry up~"

"Okay."

Jiang Tao responded from the bathroom and heard his wife and daughter leaving cheerfully.

Ten minutes later, he finished up.

When Jiang Tao arrived at his mother’s house, everyone was already there.

Only he and Third Brother were missing.

"Good morning, Second Uncle!"

"Second Uncle, you’re here!"

Jiang Shijie and Jiang Shaojie greeted Jiang Tao with big smiles.

The two had enjoyed a lavish meal at a high-class restaurant with their Second Uncle the previous night and managed to grab thousands of yuan in red envelopes in their group chat.

They now practically idolized their Second Uncle.

Jiang Tao looked at Jiang Shijie with a smile and asked, "Where’s your partner? Is she coming today?"

"She’s coming. She has arranged to come with my sister-in-law’s sister."

Although the relationship between Jiang Shijie and Wang Xiaohong was well-known in the Old Jiang Family,

he still felt a bit uneasy whenever Wang Xiaohong was mentioned.

After all, he was just a high school senior with a thin skin.

"When she arrives, treat her well. Don’t neglect her."

Jiang Tao smiled and advised his eldest nephew before sitting down at the big round table and asking his mother:

"Where’s Third Brother, Mom? Still not up?"

"Still lying in the room, such a grown girl but acts like a lazy bum every day. How’s she going to get married?"

Talking about her youngest daughter, Tian Xiaomei was a bit speechless, wondering who her daughter had taken after.

"Maybe Aunt’s skipping breakfast because she’s dieting! She seems to have gained a bit lately, with several rolls on her belly."

Jiang Xue shook her head, guessing at why her aunt was skipping breakfast, sounding quite convincing.

"Hahaha, maybe! Your aunt is about to surpass 150 pounds; if she doesn’t diet, she’ll become a ball."

Jiang Tao looked towards Jiang Bing’s room, deliberately raising his voice to join in with his Little Cotton Padded Jacket.

"Jiang Tao! Jiang Xue! You two better stop spreading rumors about this great beauty!"

"This great beauty is still under 120 pounds!!!!"

Sure enough, right after they spoke, Jiang Bing’s roar came from inside the room, making everyone burst into laughter.

Within less than five minutes, Jiang Bing emerged with a disheveled head, her eyes sharp as she looked at Jiang Tao and Jiang Xue.

Seemingly to prove she neither needed dieting nor was dieting.

Jiang Bing sat down and devoured four large fried dough sticks, drank two bowls of millet pumpkin porridge, and ate two boiled eggs.

Successfully earning the SVIP title for the biggest appetite on site.

After breakfast, it was just past 8 a.m.

There was still over an hour before their agreed meeting time at 9:30.

Jiang Tao transferred 10,000 yuan to Jiang Bing, instructing her to buy the necessary camping gear and ingredients for the day.

Things like a canopy, tables and chairs, a barbecue grill, charcoal, and ingredients all needed preparation.

Though Ping County was an obscure little county in the country,

it did have one-stop camping equipment stores and barbecue ingredient stores.

Anything could be bought if you had the money.

Jiang Bing took on the task, taking her nephews and niece shopping in a Mercedes GLS.

Jiang Tao called his uncle, asking him and his aunt Tian Mingrong to meet him at the lottery store.

Around 9 a.m.,

a Mercedes G-Class drove up to a curb and parked outside a welfare lottery store.

Jiang Tao got out after pushing open the door, seeing his uncle and aunt already waiting inside.

Even early in the morning, there were a few lottery enthusiasts buying tickets in the store.

Tian Mingrong had been running this lottery store for over ten years, accumulating a loyal clientele.

"Xiao Tao, you’re here!"

Tian Xiaoguang beamed as he came out to greet Jiang Tao after seeing him get out of the car.

"Uncle, have a cigarette."

Jiang Tao smiled, pulling out a pack of Da Tian Ye from his pocket and tossing it to his uncle.

Tian Xiaoguang took it unceremoniously, quickly opening it and pulling out two.

The pair each took a cigarette and finished it outside, and by then, the two customers in the shop had finished buying their tickets and left too.

"Xiao Tao, you’re here."

Tian Mingrong greeted Jiang Tao with a warm smile.

Tian Mingrong had a lot of respect for Jiang Tao, knowing he was a benefactor for her and Tian Xiaoguang.

"Good morning, Aunt. Sorry for making you come over."

Jiang Tao smiled politely, greeting Tian Mingrong.

Tian Mingrong and Tian Xiaoguang were also included in the camping invitation for today. Initially, they hadn’t planned to open the store for business.

At Jiang Tao’s call, she immediately came to the store without asking any questions.

"It’s like this, Aunt. A friend of mine asked me to help with something."

After some small talk, Jiang Tao began his "fictional friend" pitch.

Tian Mingrong nodded, "Xiao Tao, just say it. As long as I can help, I won’t hesitate."

Jiang Tao went straight to the point, "Can we check yesterday’s ticket records here?"

Tian Mingrong nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Tao smiled,

"Great! My friend asked me to come here and buy all the tickets issued at this store yesterday, and make each one a five times bet."

"Huh? Buy all the tickets from yesterday and five times the bet?"

Tian Mingrong looked surprised upon hearing Jiang Tao.

Though her store wasn’t large, the daily sales amounted to several thousand yuan.

"Wow, what kind of friend do you have?"

Tian Xiaoguang was equally surprised by what Jiang Tao said.

It was his first time hearing about lottery betting like this!

"That’s what he said. Who knows why, let’s not ask. It’s not something we understand about wealthy people."

Jiang Tao shrugged with a smile, "He transferred 50,000 yuan to me on WeChat; that should be enough, right? If not, I’ll request more funds from him."

"More than enough, my daily revenue is around 4,000."

Tian Mingrong looked a bit unsure and asked Jiang Tao,

"Are you really going to place the bets like this?"

Jiang Tao smiled, "Go ahead, my friend has plenty of money and doesn’t mind spending it."

Tian Mingrong confirmed again with Jiang Tao, "So I really place them?"

"Do it!"

Jiang Tao nodded with a smile.

Spending more than 20,000 yuan, they could win over 600,000, a real win.
