Originally, he wanted to bring a shockingly expensive bottle of liquor as a gift for his father-in-law, but his wife warned him that her father had high blood pressure and that the pricey liquor might give him a stroke like Fan Jin's excitement upon passing the imperial examination when seeing the liquor.

Honest Da Bai shook his head, "Three hundred thousand."
What?!
Gu's dad jumped up, almost dropping the liquor bottle in his excitement. He fumbled hastily, freeing both hands to secure the bottle worth three hundred thousand.
