Chapter 78: The Zhou Family's Wishful Thinking

~8 min read 1,432 words

At the Jiangzhou Porsche 4S dealership, the Zhou Xiaojun family stood before a 718, circling it from time to time to take a look, heads bowed as they discussed something.

Not far away, a salesperson saw this scene and also felt a bit strange.

There are many who buy Porsche sports cars, but it is truly rare to see a family of four come in together to buy one like this family.

Moreover, looking at this family, they didn't look like wealthy people; they were just that kind of ordinary household, which is why the salesperson felt a bit strange.

"Just such a small car, and it costs over 500,000?"

"500,000-plus is the base price; if you count the taxes, insurance, and all that other messy stuff, it'll be over 600,000."

"Buying this is so impractical, and it doesn't look imposing either. It would be better to buy an A6; it looks both luxurious and imposing, and Xiaojun could drive it too!"

"What's the use of talking about that one? Wasn't that proposed by Xiaoli? Don't forget, she has 5 million in her hands right now."

"You old fool, keep your voice down! Are you afraid someone won't know about it?"

Zhou Yue stood beside this Porsche, listening to the arguments of her parents and younger brother, and felt increasingly unsettled!

How did Zhang Xiaoli get five million? Lin Dazhi gave it to her!

Who is Lin Dazhi? That was her own former husband!

In the past, all his money was managed by her. No matter how much he earned in a month, he had to hand every cent over to her, and then she would distribute it uniformly. She gave Lin Dazhi a fixed 500 yuan every month; she felt that for a man, this was quite enough.

In her view, a man shouldn't have too much money in his hands; as long as he has money, he will spend it recklessly!

Sure enough, Lin Dazhi now has 32 million in his hands, and in just a few days, he spent 5 million on Zhang Xiaoli in the blink of an eye!

How could he be so willing?

How could he dare?

At this very moment, Zhou Yue had an urge to immediately make Lin Dazhi hand over all his money to her!

However, thinking of yesterday at noon when Lin Dazhi displayed the evidence of her infidelity in front of both families, Zhou Yue sighed again.

Now she is in the wrong, and if she wants to confidently ask Lin Dazhi for a remarriage, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

However, letting Zhou Xiaojun and Zhang Xiaoli get married seems to be a pretty good choice.

After all, Zhang Xiaoli now has 5 million in her hands; if she marries her younger brother, this money can be considered to have landed in the Zhou Family, and it can also be considered a roundabout way for Lin Dazhi to transfer the money to the Zhou Family.

It's just that, even thinking this way, Zhou Yue still feels uncomfortable!

Because Lin Dazhi still has 28 million in his hands!

And that villa, and the Cullinan!

He's just a food delivery driver, not some big shot in society; what's the use of having such a good car and house? It would be better to sell them for money and keep it in hand for peace of mind!

This Lin Dazhi is truly a spendthrift!

No, no, if we're talking about being a spendthrift, it's that Bai Weiwei who is the spendthrift!

She won the lottery and forgot who she is; as soon as she got it, she spent it blindly and squandered it, and even gave it all to Lin Dazhi!

I really don't know if she's crazy or stupid!

Zhou Yue's train of thought was pulled back to reality by the impatient voice of her father, Zhou Dakui.

"Alright, alright, stop giving useless advice there. This car is what Xiaoli wants, so buy her whatever kind she wants. Once the matter between Xiaojun and her is settled, what is a single car? You all have long hair and short insight! Xiaojun, call Lili right now and ask her if she's finished with her business. If she's finished, drive over to pick her up and get the car bought quickly!" Zhou Dakui said.

"And you have to tell her that this car is the betrothal gift from our Lao Zhou Family; in front of the family, let's settle your business today!" Xie Fenglan added from the side.

"Fine, then I'll call her now!" Zhou Xiaojun was also driven to distraction by his family's bickering. He had originally thought it was simple: take the family's money, quickly buy a car for Zhang Xiaoli, coax her into being happy so she would agree to be with him, and then spend her five million together. But he didn't expect that buying a car would be so troublesome; the whole family came like they were facing a great enemy, and everyone had a pile of opinions!

This can't be blamed on Zhou Xiaojun; one doesn't know the price of firewood and rice until one manages a household. How could he know that for their family, a Porsche 718 costing over 600,000 wouldn't exactly drain their entire fortune, but it would certainly cost them half their lives—of course they had to take it seriously!

He took out his phone and dialed Zhang Xiaoli's number.

"Hello? Xiaoli, how is it? Are you finished with your business over there?"

"What, what matter? Did you forget? Didn't you say you wanted to buy a Porsche? I'm at the dealership looking at cars right now; I've seen just about everything, just waiting for you to come over and decide."

"Okay, okay, then I'll drive over to pick you up now."

Zhou Xiaojun hung up the phone, excitedly took the keys from his older sister Zhou Yue, and went to pick up Zhang Xiaoli.

Zhou Yue watched her younger brother's impatient back, always feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.

That Zhang Xiaoli looks like someone with schemes. She knows exactly what kind of person her younger brother is; don't look at how he usually brags about having many friends and being capable, he is actually just a flowery pillow—good to look at but useless. When encountering major issues, he doesn't have a single serious idea in his head; he only knows how to play all day. With someone like him, can he outplay Zhang Xiaoli?

Their whole family is eyeing the five million in Zhang Xiaoli's hands, but does Zhang Xiaoli not know? Or is it that she has been clear-headed all along, seeing through it but not saying it?

If Zhang Xiaoli is truly like that, then what is she after?

She wouldn't be playing with Xiaojun's feelings, would she!

That five million was given to her by Lin Dazhi, and she also knows that Lin Dazhi has money, so will she and Lin Dazhi...

Thinking of this layer, Zhou Yue shuddered violently!

If that were really the case, would this scheme of her family end up as a bamboo basket drawing water—all for nothing?

"No, that won't happen. Yesterday, Lin Dazhi told me personally over the phone that he would absolutely not provoke Zhang Xiaoli. He has never dared to lie to me; since he said that, it must be true. Besides, he already has Bai Weiwei, so how could he still fancy Zhang Xiaoli? He knows Lili is Xiaojun's girlfriend, so he definitely wouldn't do that kind of thing." Zhou Yue comforted herself this way in her heart, but she still felt something was wrong.

She now has an urge to ask Lin Dazhi to his face to clarify things. But thinking of the words Lao Liu said to her, she suppressed this urge again.

"I hope Lao Liu's plan can succeed. A man shouldn't have money in his hands; once he has money, he turns bad. I must quickly think of a way to get all the money in Lin Dazhi's hands!"

"Not just the money, but the house and the car, all must be obtained! Someone like him should just continue delivering food!"

"When the time comes, letting him live in that original high-rise apartment will be doing him a great favor!"

Zhou Yue thought this in her heart, and had already begun planning how she would spend the money once she got it from Lin Dazhi.

She herself must also buy a car first, at the very least, it must be better than this Porsche...
