306: Men should drive big cars
Seeing Ye Su readily accept the Lamborghini, Wang Lijuan was clearly very happy:
“If you're not busy tomorrow, you can leave one car here first, drive one back tonight, and then drive the other one back when you come over for dinner tomorrow.”
“Your aunt's idea is pretty good,” Li Shanhai chimed in.
“If you have things to do tomorrow, then don't worry about it. But if you're free, come over for dinner. If you find taking a taxi too troublesome, just have Li Mengyao pick you up.”
“I have to go pick him up?!” Li Mengyao said tsundere-ly. “He's not missing hands or feet. Can't he take a taxi himself?”
Hearing this, Li Shanhai looked at Li Mengyao with a helpless expression.
Why is this daughter of his so dense?
Usually, both of them are busy, and it's obvious they haven't really been on dates.
Taking advantage of picking up Ye Su tomorrow, couldn't the two of them go out and have a good time before coming back for dinner in the evening?
Of course, it would also be fine if they didn't come back for dinner.
She was already twenty-seven years old this year, as much of an adult as one could be, so the family wouldn't impose a curfew on her anymore.
Seeing both Li Shanhai and his wife speaking up for him, and worried that Li Mengyao would throw a tantrum as a spoiled young mistress afterward, Ye Su quickly spoke up to help her out:
“It's fine, Auntie. I can just take a taxi over myself tomorrow.”
Having accepted their Lamborghini, Ye Su felt too embarrassed to turn a cold shoulder and reject Wang Lijuan's invitation for tomorrow.
Anyway, he didn't have much to do tomorrow, just needed to complete the intelligence that would refresh at midnight, which wouldn't take all day.
Chen Xinyi wasn't at home either, and he would be bored, so it was the perfect opportunity to come over and get a free meal.
Wang Lijuan first gave her daughter a reproachful look before smilingly suggesting,
“It's still early, and there's some time before dinner. Since there are exactly four of us, why don't we play a few rounds of mahjong after finishing our bird's nest soup?”
“I'm fine with anything,”
Ye Su had no objections, and Li Shanhai nodded as well. Only Li Mengyao, the troublemaker, jumped out to object again:
“I can't!”
She hadn't forgotten the last time the four of them played mahjong, where she had been utterly annihilated.
“Three to one. Objection overruled,” Wang Lijuan waved her hand grandly. “It's settled then.”
“Ah!!”
The absolute authority of her biological mother left Li Mengyao powerless to resist, and she could only let out a wail of despair.
In the end, after a fierce battle following the bird's nest soup, Li Mengyao was once again ganged up on by Wang Lijuan and Ye Su, losing over five thousand yuan.
This left Li Mengyao filled with resentment during dinner. She chewed her food with extra force while glaring at Ye Su, as if she wasn't eating rice but rather taking bite after bite out of Ye Su's flesh.
After dinner, Ye Su accompanied Li Shanhai and his wife to drink tea and chat.
It was around the usual time of eight o'clock when Ye Su finally stood up to bid farewell to Li Shanhai and his wife:
“Uncle, Auntie, I'll head back first then, and I'll come over for dinner tomorrow evening.”
“Alright, drive safely on the road.”
Li Shanhai instructed Li Mengyao, “Go see Xiao Su out, and take him to the carport while you're at it to see if that car suits him.”
“Oh.”
Although Li Mengyao still looked reluctant, she didn't refuse this time. She stood up and gestured to Ye Su, “Let's go.”
“Okay.”
Ye Su nodded to Li Shanhai and his wife once more before following Li Mengyao out.
As soon as they stepped out of the villa's front door, Ye Su secretly kept his guard up against Li Mengyao.
He still remembered how she had kicked him last time just because he won a few thousand yuan from her.
However, Li Mengyao didn't dwell on the lost thousands this time. After going outside, she led him to the carport and pointed at a matte gray SUV:
“This is the car. See if you like driving it?”
Looking at the Lamborghini Urus Li Mengyao was pointing at, Ye Su's eyes lit up.
Looking at its massive front end, exuding an overbearing aura, it was simply too handsome!
That's why they say a man should drive a big car.
After all, how many men don't like driving big cars?
When Ye Su searched for this car before, he had seen many comments online saying that this car was just a rebadged Audi RS Q8.
Since both shared the same platform design and were equipped with the same twin-turbo V8 engine, yet the price difference was almost double, buying this car made one a total sucker.
But looking at this Lamborghini Urus now, Ye Su didn't feel like a sucker at all.
Putting aside the differences in tuning between the two cars, just the golden bull logo on the hood made Ye Su feel that spending more money was completely justified.
In gaming, even if they're both skins, a legendary skin costs several times more than a rare skin.
Of course, the most important thing was that Ye Su didn't have to pay the extra two million.
Since he didn't have to spend his own money, Ye Su would naturally choose the Lamborghini Urus.
“Such an expensive car, it definitely suits me!” Ye Su lightly nudged Li Mengyao with his shoulder.
“It's all thanks to you, Eldest Miss Li, that a poor kid like me gets the chance to drive such a luxury car.”
Li Mengyao rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. “Cut the crap with me.”
She didn't believe a word of Ye Su's claim about being a 'poor kid'.
“You gifted my parents an ivory-carved mahjong set and a jar of aged tangerine peel, so it's only right that they give you a car.”
Li Mengyao felt that since Ye Su's gifts had made Li Shanhai and Wang Lijuan so happy for so long, giving him this Lamborghini was well worth it.
“Since you think it's fine, the car is yours. I'll have someone handle the title transfer with you in a couple of days.”
“OK.”
After saying that, Ye Su was about to take out the keys Li Shanhai had just given him to unlock the door and get in.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, his hand stopped right next to his pants pocket:
“I should drive my own car back first, and then drive this one back when I come over for dinner tomorrow.”
“Up to you.”
“Then I'll be off first.” Ye Su waved. “Bye-bye.”
“Yeah.”
Li Mengyao merely nodded indifferently, but she didn't turn back to the house immediately, her eyes still fixed on Ye Su.
As Ye Su turned to walk toward the gate, Li Mengyao finally revealed a sly smile and tiptoed after him.
Lifting her foot, she wanted to kick Ye Su when he was off guard, just like last time, to avenge him not bringing her a gift this afternoon and playing a trick on her.
But just as Li Mengyao raised her foot, Ye Su suddenly dashed forward without any warning and bolted out of the courtyard gate, clearly having seen through her little scheme long ago.
As he ran, Ye Su even found the time to flip her off, which made Li Mengyao pull her foot back and stomp heavily on the ground in anger.
“When you come over for dinner tomorrow night, I'll definitely show you what's what!”
Waving her pink fists at Ye Su's retreating figure and shouting a fierce threat, Li Mengyao finally turned back and returned to the villa.
At the entrance, Li Mengyao took a deep breath to compose herself, so as not to let Li Shanhai and his wife notice anything unusual when she walked in.
Only after running out of the courtyard gate did Ye Su look back to make sure Li Mengyao wasn't chasing him.
“Did you really think I'd fall for the same trick twice?”
Ye Su smiled triumphantly before getting into his beat-up Audi, starting the engine, and leaving the Zijing Villa District.
