Financial freedom starts with the daily intelligence system!

Around 10:30 pm.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class carrying Jiang Tao and his family slowly drove into the Baigezhuang New Village residential area.

While not as luxurious as the Huabin Manor, this is still a decent residential area.

This place is warmer and more authentic, full of the warmth and everyday life of its inhabitants.

After entering the internal road of the residential area, the vehicle drove for about half a minute before finally stopping in front of Building 26.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Jia. Take care on your way back and grab a late-night snack on the way."

Jiang Tao reached out and patted Jia Guilin on the shoulder, then stuffed a wad of cash into his shirt pocket.

"Thank you, boss. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

After thanking him, Jia Guilin pushed open the door and left.

Jiang Tao and his family of five also got out of the car.

The cool night air invigorated everyone, and also lessened the surreal feeling of returning from the Xiang family manor.

Little Jiang Xue was fast asleep in her mother's arms, a sweet smile still on her lips, as if the fountain and swans in her dream were still right in front of her.

Jiang Tao walked to Xu Li's side and naturally took Jiang Xue from her arms.

Jiang Xue has been eating and drinking well lately, and her nutrition is excellent.

In just a few months, she grew five or six centimeters taller and gained about ten kilograms, starting to look like a chubby little girl.

However, it's not a bad thing for a little kid to be a bit chubby; they look rosy and cute.

The family chatted quietly as they entered the building and took the elevator upstairs.

"Finally home. Tonight was truly an eye-opening experience."

"I talked with Mr. Xiang for a while and felt that it was more useful than my decades of experience."

After stepping into the house, Dad Jiang Wen let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks, and spoke with considerable emotion.

Tonight's experience was incredibly informative for him, and he needs to process it all.

Mom, Tian Xiaomei, jokingly said:
"Do you think Mr. Xiang's billions of dollars fell from the sky? He can give you a single piece of advice that will keep you busy for decades."

Jiang Wen chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right. I'm just an old man from the countryside. The difference between me and others is like... well, you know."

Xu Li laughed from the side, "Dad, don't underestimate yourself. Maybe in the future, you and Mom can make our restaurant bigger and stronger and create something brilliant."

Jiang Tao jokingly added, "Lily is right, we're only at the beginning. The outcome is still uncertain, and you and Mom are both potential dark horses."

"Stop joking around, you'll wake Xiaoxue up. Go put her down first, she's been jumping around all night, she must be tired."

Tian Xiaomei always looked at her son with a sense of pride.

After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Tao and Xu Li went into Jiang Xue's small room together.

After Jiang Tao put Jiang Xue on the bed, Xu Li gently wiped her face with a washbasin and a washcloth, and then wiped her feet.

Although Xu Li is usually quite strict with her daughter Jiang Xue.

But if we're talking about the person who loves her most in this world, it's definitely Xu Li, her mother.

The warm orange light shone on the mother and daughter, creating a scene that looked incredibly cozy and comforting.

After Xu Li undressed Jiang Xue and covered her with her blanket, she turned around and saw Jiang Tao staring blankly at her.

"What's wrong, honey? What are you looking at?"

Xu Li moved her body and stood up from the edge of the bed. She walked over to Jiang Tao and took his hand.

"Wife, you are so beautiful. I must have accumulated good karma for several lifetimes to be able to marry you."

Jiang Tao raised his right arm and gently stroked Xu Li's fair and delicate cheeks with his large hand.

As the old saying goes, "To see a beautiful woman under the lamplight and moonlight is ten times better than to see her in broad daylight."

Whether it was the lighting or the alcohol she had been drinking, Jiang Tao felt that Xu Li possessed a breathtaking beauty tonight.

"Husband, it is my blessing to have married you."

Xu Li looked at Jiang Tao with bright, sparkling eyes, her gaze filled with unreserved love for him.

Jiang Tao reached out and pulled Xu Li into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her soft, flower-like lips.

five minutes later……

"Not here."

After realizing Jiang Tao's intentions, Xu Li glared at him playfully, gently pushed him away, and began to straighten the clothes he had messed up.

Her parents-in-law were still in the living room, and her daughter was sleeping next to them, so Xu Li naturally wouldn't accompany Jiang Tao in his reckless behavior.

Then, the couple walked out of their daughter's room one after the other.

Mom and Dad are on the sofa looking at the gifts Xiang Yiwei gave to everyone before they parted.

The gift itself was extremely luxurious, even just the gift bag.

The bag itself has an excellent texture, and the gold-stamped logo glitters under the light.

"The Xiang family is too kind. They treated us to so much delicious food and even gave us gifts. I wonder what's inside them?"

Tian Xiaomei looked at the gift bag on the coffee table, her tone filled with emotion and a hint of curiosity.

Jiang Wen chimed in from the side:

"Yes, judging from the packaging, the contents must be expensive. We feel guilty accepting it like this."

"Mom and Dad, you're wrong to think that way."

"This gift is a token of their goodwill. Old Xiang will be happy if you accept it, and if you don't accept it, they will feel indebted."

Jiang Tao smiled and comforted his parents as he walked to the sofa and picked up a gift bag from the coffee table.

"I'm also quite curious about what Xiang Yiwei gave her."

As he spoke, Jiang Tao reached into the gift bag and took out a small mahogany box that looked incredibly exquisite.

Xu Li also stepped forward with a curious expression, wanting to see what was inside.

"This is……"

"gold?"

"It looks quite heavy!"

When all the items inside were fully revealed, Xu Li and Jiang's parents exclaimed in surprise.

Inside the small wooden box, wrapped in a soft lining, lies a uniquely shaped golf club.

This golf club is entirely gold in color.

The shape of the club is so lifelike that the texture of the clubhead, shaft, and even the grip are clearly visible.

It looked radiant under the soft lighting of the living room.

The gold bar was securely held in place on a custom-made black velvet base.

A small metal plaque is also inlaid on the base, which seems to be engraved with some words of blessing and weight markings.

"Old Xiang is really generous, giving away gold directly."

Jiang Tao wasn't particularly surprised when he saw the gift; he simply made a casual remark.

After all, he just bought over 5000 million worth of gold today.

The little bit of gold Xiang Yiwei gave them wasn't even a fraction of his earnings. "This is...gold? And it's so big!"

Tian Xiaomei's voice was somewhat excited; it was the first time she had ever received such a valuable gift from a stranger.

"It should be gold, right? With Mr. Xiang's wealth, he wouldn't send us something gilded."

Jiang Wen's voice inevitably carried a hint of excitement.

He leaned closer to take a closer look and could even clearly see the unique, soft yet substantial texture of gold.

Xu Li was relatively calmer. She picked up her copy, turned it over, and saw the words engraved on it.

Au999.9, 200g!

"200 grams! And it's solid."

Xu Li thought the cue stick was hollow and weighed only a few dozen grams at most.

But as soon as she held it in her hand, she felt that it was quite heavy, and seeing the numbers engraved on the cue further confirmed her suspicions.

Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei quickly picked up their copies to check.

Sure enough, the weight was clearly marked on the base—200 grams!
Including Jiang Xue, the family of five went to a banquet tonight and received 5 gold bars, weighing a total of 1000 grams!
Although Jiang Wen was not very sensitive to gold prices, he knew that gold was a hard currency and was quite valuable.

He muttered to himself as he calculated, "I heard that gold is around 700 yuan per gram now? This one must be worth over 100,000 yuan, right?"

"Dad, the price of gold has already gone up!"

Xu Li took out her phone, quickly checked the international gold price, and then gasped in shock:
"Today's international gold price translates to nearly 900 yuan per gram! This 200-gram gold bar is worth almost 18 yuan!"

180,000 per piece!
Five of them would be nine hundred thousand!
If we add Xu Li's parents and her younger sister Xu Sha's share, that's three more.

Tonight, Xiang Yiwei gave Jiang Tao and his group 1600 grams of gold, with a total value far exceeding 100 million!

Of course, this amount of gold was just a "small gift" for the Xiang family.

Even if Jiang Tao brings another ten or twenty people tonight, Xiang Yiwei can afford to send them off.

"If I had known Xiang Yiwei would be so generous, I would have brought more people with me, including my uncle, aunt, and third brother."

Jiang Tao's words broke the silence in the room and made everyone laugh.

"Don't be ungrateful, kid. The gifts you gave us tonight alone are worth over a million. We wouldn't have dared to do this in the past, not even in our wildest dreams."

"Yes! More than a million was just given to us like that, the money came too easily."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. Our family is very different now than before. It's just 200g of gold, so calm down."

"Who can compare to you, kid?"

"Why don't you keep these, Lily? Your dad and I don't really need them."

"Mom, this is a gift from the Xiang family. Please keep it and use it to make any jewelry you like."

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, everyone go wash up and go to bed."

After a few more sighs and reflections, everyone carefully put away their gifts before taking turns washing up and preparing to rest.

It's getting late, and everyone has their own things to do tomorrow.

Soon, everyone finished washing up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Inside the master bedroom, a soft nightlight casts a hazy glow.

After washing up, Xu Li, wearing a silk nightgown and smelling fresh after her bath, slipped into bed.

She naturally leaned into Jiang Tao's arms.

Looking up, I saw Jiang Tao's increasingly angular profile in the dim light.

Xu Li's eyes were filled with deep love and a hint of barely perceptible longing.

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently traced them across Jiang Tao's chest, her voice carrying a hint of languor and coquettishness:
"Honey, are you tired today?"

Jiang Tao looked down and met Xu Li's watery eyes, instantly understanding her implication.

A knowing smile played on his lips as he tightened his arms around her, pulling her warm, soft body into a tight embrace. He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her smooth forehead, his voice deep and magnetic: "With you here, how can I be tired?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's words, Xu Li's face flushed with a beautiful blush, like a blooming peach blossom.

She tilted her head up, found his lips, and gave him a tender and lingering kiss.

Jiang Tao's hand slowly roamed over her smooth back through the thin silk nightgown.

The delicate touch and the slight trembling of her body were like alluring notes being plucked on the strings of his heart.

Xu Li's breathing gradually became rapid. She wrapped her arms around Jiang Tao's neck and pressed her body closer to him involuntarily, as if she wanted to merge into his bones and blood.

In the room, bathed in the orange glow of the nightlight, their breaths mingled, their heartbeats pounded like drums, and it was impossible to tell whose was more rapid.

Without many words, all communication was transformed into physical intimacy and spiritual resonance.

After one hour……

"Honey," Xu Li's voice was hoarse and languid afterward, "Do you think it will work this time?"

“It should work!”

Jiang Tao had said this more than a dozen times, but each time it disappointed him and Xu Li.

"Yeah, I have a really special feeling today, like it's going to work out."

Xu Li snuggled closer to Jiang Tao, finding a more comfortable position, and continued:

"I just want to give Xiaoxue a younger brother or sister so that she will have a companion in the future, and so that she will have a relative after we are gone."

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're both going to live for at least a hundred or two hundred years, and we have a long life ahead of us."

Jiang Tao toyed with Xu Li's hair, his eyes sparkling with confidence.

He possesses the overpowered special item, the "Eternal Holly".

As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he will definitely break the human lifespan limit in this lifetime.

"Time used to feel like it moved so slowly, but in the last two years, it feels like it's gone by so fast..."

"Stop thinking about unnecessary things all day long, live in the moment, and just enjoy each day."

"Yes, by the way, honey, my sister-in-law said she had someone check and it really is a girl this time. She got her wish."

"So we can say we have both a son and a daughter."

When will our family be able to have both a son and a daughter?

"Don't be too fixated on these things. Look at the Xiang family, they have such a big business, but they only have one daughter, Xiang Yiwei."

Jiang Tao and Xu Li embraced, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

They chatted about what they had seen at the Xiang family manor that evening, about the substantial gold bar gift, about their hopes for Xiaoxue's future, and about the future development of Jiang Tao's company.

There were no deliberate topics; they simply shared their thoughts and feelings freely, their voices growing softer and softer.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Li's breathing became even and long, and with a satisfied smile, she fell into a deep sleep in Jiang Tao's reassuring embrace.

Listening to Xu Li's steady breathing, feeling the warmth and softness in his arms.

Looking at the faint moonlight filtering through the window, Jiang Tao felt a sense of peace and contentment.

I picked up my phone from the bedside table and glanced at it; it was already 0:45 a.m.
