484: Look at you, you just have to ask.

Qian Xiaoyan was smiling brightly, but Ye Su's next sentence caused her smile to freeze on her face.

"This car only cost about three million-plus on the road, but your eldest daughter is right, gas cars really do consume much more fuel than electric ones. I spend several thousand yuan just on gas every month now."

"Three million-plus!"

Qian Xiaoyan, who had never seen that much money in her entire life, was stunned by the price of the car:

"Ye Su, you aren't joking with Auntie Yan, are you? This car costs three million-plus!"

Qian Xiaoyan's eyes revealed a glimmer of hope, wishing that Ye Su would admit that the so-called three-million-plus price tag was just a joke.

But the result did not go as she wished; Ye Su's words made Qian Xiaoyan's heart sink to rock bottom:

"Auntie Yan, why would I joke with you? This brand specializes in sports cars, so even this SUV is priced a bit higher."

Seeing Qian Xiaoyan's expression, which was uglier than if she had swallowed a fly, Ye Su could barely hide the smile at the corner of his mouth as he [kindly] suggested to Qian Xiaoyan:

"This brand and Audi share the same parent company. If your family wants to change cars, I would recommend you buy an Audi RS Q8. The performance of both cars is about the same, but the Audi RS Q8 is about half the price."

Hearing Ye Su's [kind suggestion], Qian Xiaoyan finally came to her senses and put on an extremely forced smile:

"Ye Su, stop joking with your Auntie Yan. How could our family afford such an expensive car?"

"You never know." Ye Su pressed the attack: "Didn't I hear you say during the New Year that Sister Na was promoted to a team leader at her company? If she gets recognized by the company leadership and gets promoted another level or two, buying a car and a house in Shenzhen shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Haha." Qian Xiaoyan offered a fake smile. Not knowing how to respond, she could only change the subject and asked Ye Su:

"You're so impressive now, being able to afford a car worth millions. I wonder what kind of business you do over in Guangzhou."

"Me?" Ye Su said casually: "I'm robbing banks in Guangzhou."

"Have some respect!" Su Wan, unable to watch any longer, gave Ye Su a light slap: "Is that any way to talk to your Auntie Yan!"

"Hehe." Ye Su apologized to Su Wan with a smile: "I was just joking."

After finishing, he said to Qian Xiaoyan: "Actually, I don't do much, just some small business, running a company, a Beef Hot Pot Restaurant, and things like that."

"Oh." Qian Xiaoyan nodded absentmindedly. No longer wanting to provoke Ye Su or seek trouble, she turned her head and said sourly to Su Wan:

"Your third child is truly capable. He hasn't even finished his studies, and his business is already booming."

"He's just messing around outside."

Although Su Wan said that, her face was full of pride for Ye Su.

"Ye Su just got back, so I won't disturb your family. I'm going back to cook."

After saying this, Qian Xiaoyan quickly turned and went back into the house, looking rather like she was fleeing in defeat.

Seeing this, Ye Su deliberately drew out his voice and shouted: "Dad, I brought you a few bottles of Moutai, and two bottles of 20-year-old Romanée-Conti wine. You can open them to try during dinner later."

Hearing Ye Su's words, Qian Xiaoyan almost stumbled.

Moutai, and some 20-year-old ...-Conti wine. How much must that cost!

"You child..."

No one knows a child better than their mother.

How could Su Wan not know why Ye Su pulled this stunt in front of Qian Xiaoyan:

"Auntie Xiaoyan is our old neighbor after all. How could you talk to her like that?"

Before Ye Su could speak, Ye Ruo said indignantly:

"I think ASu did nothing wrong. You know what Auntie Yan is like. Ever since I was little, whenever her family has even the smallest thing happen."

"Whether it's her son getting a scholarship at school or her daughter getting promoted at work, she has to come to our house to talk about it. Everyone knows she just wants to brag about how great her family is and compare the three of us to the ones in her family."

Qian Xiaoyan also has three children.

The eldest daughter is two years older than Ye Xin, the second daughter is the same age as Ye Ruo, and the youngest son is exactly the same age as Ye Su.

This also led Qian Xiaoyan to constantly compare her second daughter and youngest son with the siblings Ye Ruo and Ye Su.

But in reality, her pair of children are not better than the Ye siblings.

The youngest son has always had grades a bit worse than Ye Su's, and after the college entrance exam, he almost didn't get into a public undergraduate program and had to go to an expensive private one.

But Qian Xiaoyan never tires of it, insisting on mentioning everything at Ye Su's house, which has made Ye Xin and his siblings dislike Qian Xiaoyan for a long time.

Just now, as soon as she asked about the price of the car, the three siblings immediately guessed what she was plotting again.

Now that Qian Xiaoyan had been provoked by Ye Su and sneaked home in embarrassment, Ye Ruo felt it was deeply satisfying and felt refreshed.

Although Ye Xin remained silent, he nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Ye Ruo's assessment.

"You two, I really don't know what to say to you."

Su Wan naturally wouldn't really scold Ye Ruo and her brother for the sake of an outsider. After shaking her head, the matter was considered settled.

Ye Su opened the trunk and started moving things out:

"These are the clothes, wine, cosmetics, and stuff I bought for you all. Let's take them in together."

"Givenchy, LV!"

Seeing the various luxury brand shopping bags in the trunk, Ye Ruo's eyes were brighter than Lamborghini headlights. She immediately leaned into the trunk, eager to dig the items out of the bags.

Ye Jianguo had been itching with anticipation ever since he heard Ye Su say he brought him Moutai and 20-year-old Romanée-Conti wine, but he hadn't forgotten to maintain the dignity of the head of the house, so he shouted to Yan Ran:

"What does it look like opening them outside? Move everything inside first before looking."

"Oh."

Ye Ruo was full of excitement, calling Ye Xin to help, and they raided Ye Su's trunk.

Seeing the siblings' reaction, Su Wan knew these things must have cost Ye Su a lot of money, and she immediately felt a pang of heartache:

"You could have just come back; why buy so many things? It must have cost a lot of money!"

"It's fine." Ye Su put his arm around Su Wan's shoulder: "These were all sponsored by someone; I didn't spend much of my own money."

Su Wan was confused: "Sponsored? What do you mean?"

Ye Su didn't answer directly, just replied with a smile: "Let's talk about it when we get inside."

After finishing, he followed his older brother and older sister, moving everything from the trunk into the house.

After moving all the bags into the living room, Ye Su, like Santa Claus, started distributing gifts to the four of them.

"This outfit is for Dad..."

"This one is for Mom..."

"For Brother..."

"Hey, yours."

"..."

Taking out the clothes Ye Su had given her, Su Wan habitually rubbed the fabric first:

"The fabric of this clothing is quite good. It feels very soft, and the cut is nice too."

"Of course it's nice!" Ye Ruo excitedly held an LV classic short-sleeved shirt up to her eyes:

"This is LV! Just one piece of clothing costs at least several thousand. It must feel comfortable to the touch!"
