Chapter 24: His children also have to drive luxury cars
Jingrou, why are you thinking so much? Online, many posts say that many parents and children, over property, end up like enemies. We've been apart from Dad for so many years; aside from blood ties, we hardly have any feelings, but we just reunited and he's already treating us this well.
This shows Dad is someone who values family affection; his kindness toward us comes from the heart, just as he said—his wealth will eventually be left to us. So spending his money and enjoying a happy life together with him isn't great? If we didn't spend his money, he'd actually be unwilling.
This is what he wants to give; if he didn't want to give it, we couldn't get it even if we wanted. Giving it to us is better than giving it to another woman, right? Who let us be Daddy's little lover in a past life?
Wen Yuchun cheerfully offered guidance; her lively nature makes her see things simply and clearly.
"That's true." Wen Jingrou, hearing Wen Yuchun say that, felt her earlier gloom lift by half: "I don't know what kind of car Dad will buy for us."
I hope he just buys a very ordinary car; the money he saved by working hard alone for most of his life was also hard-earned.
Wen Jingrou imagined her father's hardworking scene in her mind and felt heartbroken.
Alone for half a life, toiling for half a life.
But in fact, Xiao Ming wasn't as bitter as she imagined.
Xiao Ming has always had a business mind and enjoyed it; the hardship is natural, but in the process he also enjoys making money and the pleasure of undertaking big ventures.
Rather than what Wen Jingrou imagined—working oneself to death just to make a living.
I think so too.
Wen Yuchun nodded and said: "Just something around eighty or ninety thousand, as long as it's drivable."
"Haha, I feel that lately life has been like a dream." Recalling this period's experiences, Wen Yuchun felt it was like acting in a TV drama.
Too many surprises—life feels like suddenly turning on a cheat.
"Jingrou, Dad treats us this well; I must also treat him well."
"Agreed!" Wen Jingrou responded earnestly.
The next day.
Xiao Ming and the two little girls spent the day at home.
Until five in the afternoon, when Yun Zhe returned, did the four of them hail a taxi to go car shopping.
The rearview mirror of Xiao Ming's Lincoln was knocked off by Lin Xiao Xiao; that morning, while the two girls were still sleeping in, Xiao Ming notified the assistant to send the car to the repair shop.
"Dad, I think that Lynk & Co model is fine; it can be bought for just over 100,000."
"Hehe, Dad, if your wallet allows, could you buy me a Lynk & Co? Or we could do installments—I'll pay them."
On the way to buy the car, Yun Zhe kept talking happily, and while speaking he would occasionally glance at Xiao Ming, observing his facial expression.
Xiao Ming was amused by Yun Zhe's cautious demeanor and thought to himself: "Yun Zhe, does buying you a car make you this insecure? Or do you lack faith in your father's wallet? A car like a Lynk & Co isn't worthy of being Xiao Ming's son."
At Yuxi Villa, in his garage, any random car is worth over a million.
"We've arrived; let's take a look first," Xiao Ming replied.
"Dad, just get Yuchun an ordinary car—anything drivable, even thirty or fifty thousand is fine." Wen Jingrou linked arms with Xiao Ming and said.
"Dad, thank you, you're really good to us."
Wen Yuchun leaned in, reached out, hung her whole body on Xiao Ming's neck, and said emotionally.
Soon, they arrived at the car dealership.
After Xiao Ming got out of the car, he led the few children toward the dealership.
As they passed the Lynk & Co showroom, Yun Zhe's eyes went wide.
Xiao Ming acted as if he hadn't seen it and kept walking forward.
As they passed Changan, Sylphy, and Haval dealerships, he didn't pause his steps at all, not even giving those places a glance.
He strode forward with an elegant gait.
"This..." Yun Zhe suddenly felt uncertain, wondering what his father was up to.
Soon, they arrived at the BMW and Mercedes-Benz sales points, and Yun Zhe grew so nervous his breathing became a little ragged.
His heart pounded with excitement, like beating a drum.
"Dad's being too generous; it looks like he plans to buy us siblings luxury cars—any one of these would cost five or six hundred thousand."
These are all big-brand cars; even casually, they'd cost five or six hundred thousand.
The further they walked, the more excited Yun Zhe became; the smile on his face hadn't faded since they left in the afternoon.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Ming showed no intention of stopping as he passed those brand-car dealerships.
"The further we go, the pricier the cars get—up ahead are all international brands."
Yun Zhe secretly thought to himself that he was now in a completely bewildered state.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ming's destination turned out to be that international brand store ahead; he finally stopped when he reached the Maserati dealership entrance.
"Girls, want to take a look here?" He turned his head to ask the two daughters.
"Dad, is this... a Maserati?" Wen Yuchun was stunned; she stepped forward and whispered.
"Yeah, I saw it." Xiao Ming pointed at the sign above the dealership door, and after seeing the girls' concerns, he said: "Dad drives a Lincoln—can he buy you just an ordinary car?"
His meaning was clear: his children also need to drive luxury cars.
"Dad, you're too domineering." Wen Yuchun clenched her fists before her face, full of admiration for Xiao Ming: "Alright, let's take a look here."
"Hehe!"
Xiao Ming was made to laugh by Wen Yuchun.
He had no resistance to the two girls' coquettish cuteness.
The family of four went to the Maserati specialty store.
The Maserati sales staff immediately came forward.
As Maserati luxury car salespeople, they all have certain professional competence; seeing someone enter, they promptly come forward, patiently leading Xiao Ming and the others around the store and introducing every car that interests them.
"How about it? Do you like any?" Xiao Ming turned his head to ask the two daughters.
"I..."
Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun were so shocked they couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"That red one is pretty good." Wen Yunzhe's eyes shone; after he said that, he sneakily glanced at Xiao Ming.
As a result, Xiao Ming acted as if he hadn't heard her at all.
Wen Yunzhe was completely ignored, and could only sigh helplessly.
"Dad, let's check out another store first, okay?" After Wen Jingrou and Wen Yuchun exchanged a glance, she said.
Their tolerance is really too limited.
Maserati, those are all luxury sports cars costing over a million.
A week ago, the three siblings were still living each day worrying about rent and daily expenses.
In just a few days, they've come to the Maserati luxury car showroom to buy a car?
This is practically like a dream.
