It was planned from the beginning.
She wanted her son to say a good word for her, at least to save face for him, so that her father-in-law would know that his son-in-law was a capable person.
Wen Yiquan believed he was afraid of nothing except that his wife and children wouldn't have a good life. Now that life was better, he naturally had to show off.
The Audi A8 was purchased two months ago. It was Su Juan's idea to change cars, and she personally picked out the car.
Originally, he wanted to buy a high-end Bentley, but Su Juan said that showing off too much would backfire, so he downgraded and bought an Audi for a little over 100,000 yuan.
Does he look better now? Hey, he really does. At least his father-in-law's gaze towards him is different now.
“My dad is capable now and can make money, so Grandpa, you can rest assured. If you need it, my dad will buy you a car too.”
Wen Mo tried his best to speak on his behalf, which calmed his grandfather down a bit. Of course, he still couldn't accept the figure of one million for the time being, as it was far beyond his imagination.
He knew that if that company did well, it could be very profitable, but he never imagined it would be this profitable, allowing him to buy a million-dollar car without even blinking an eye.
"No need to buy it for me, you can keep the money."
Grandpa shook his head, and his gaze towards Wen Yiquan softened somewhat.
He admitted that she used to dislike him, but there was nothing he could do about it. One day, his daughter brought home a poor young man and specifically asked to marry him.
What can be done? Which father would agree to this?
When they disagreed, well, the next time the daughter made her grand entrance, she smiled and covered her belly, saying she was pregnant.
He was so angry he almost fainted. He grabbed a broom and beat Wen Yiquan until he was covered in cuts and bruises. In the end, Su Juan stopped him while crying.
There was really no other way. They had hit her, they had scolded her, and then she got pregnant, so she had no choice but to reluctantly agree to their marriage.
He doesn't really care about the other person's family background; as long as they can live an honest life and make his daughter happy, that's enough for him.
But I never imagined I'd end up with someone so poor.
Fortunately, at least this guy is ambitious. He never brings his wife back to her parents' home empty-handed, and his daughter is always happy to see him.
They were at ease once they had made a good living.
"To be safe."
"Ah? Oh, I'm here, Dad." Wen Yiquan quickly moved closer, smiling ingratiatingly.
"How is Juanzi doing at home?"
"He's doing great, always cheerful, like he hasn't grown up. He's the same way in front of Wen Mo." Wen Yiquan said with a smile, while glancing at Su Juan and Xia Lian sitting on the other side, and whispered, "He's become even more lively since he had a daughter recently. He and that girl are like sisters, and he's incredibly happy together."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa was immediately relieved, though he still had some doubts.
"That girl..."
"Oh, something happened at her family's house, so I took her home and raised her as my daughter," Wen Yiquan explained in the simplest terms.
"Oh, okay, that's good."
Grandpa didn't know how to react, but after all, these were matters for the younger generation, and it wasn't really appropriate for him to interfere. But as long as they were living well, there was no need to worry so much.
...
"Grandpa and Grandma, we'll be going now."
"Put the red envelope in your pocket, don't lose it, come play again next time!"
In front of the old house, two elderly people stood by the car and gave each other some instructions. Finally, with two hugs from Su Juan, the group got into the car together.
Goodbye, Mom and Dad!
Like a child who hasn't grown up yet, Su Juan stuck her head out of the car window and waved goodbye with a smile.
"Don't stick your head out, silly girl."
"Whoa whoa."
Su Juan pulled her head back and started humming a song.
On his way home, Wen Yiquan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, patting his chest and beaming with joy.
"Why are you so happy?" Su Juan stretched and asked lazily.
"It's nothing, I just think buying a new car is really beneficial. You wouldn't believe it, my father-in-law's eyes have changed."
"Tch, look at how smug you are. This was all my idea."
"Alright, alright, you're so smart." Wen Yiquan felt better and put his arm around her shoulder, which made Su Juan glare at him reproachfully.
Ignoring the flirtatious banter between the two in front of him, Wen Mo sat in the back row, deep in thought.
Seemingly noticing that he was in a bad mood, Xia Lian leaned over, took his hand, rubbed it in her palm, and stared at him with her two clear eyes.
"Lianbao, I'm fine, don't worry."
Wen Yiquan noticed his furrowed brow in the rearview mirror and became interested, asking, "What's wrong? Why is the girl comforting you? What's making you so unhappy?"
"It's nothing, I just feel inexplicably melancholy because I know I'll be graduating in a few months after winter break."
"You're still feeling melancholy."
"When are we going back to Linchuan, Dad?"
"The day after tomorrow, right? Once you get home the day after tomorrow, school will start right away. Speaking of which, your crappy school only gives you a week off, which is way too short."
“That’s how it is for senior high school students.” Wen Mo shook his head.
Su Juan turned around and looked at the two little ones sitting in the back row, and couldn't help but ask, "Should I ask you for leave? Let's have a longer break before going back to school."
"No need. It's only a few months left, so I might as well look at more schools."
Pinching Xia Lian's cheek, Wen Mo's originally melancholy mood immediately eased a lot, and he was able to force a smile.
At least I can spend more time with Lianbao during the last two months of summer vacation.
But I don't know if I'll still keep in touch with those guys in my class. After graduation, we'll probably really go our separate ways. Keeping in touch will just be talk, since everyone will be going to different universities.
However, in the last few months, I still need to help those two idiots with their studies, lest they fail to get into university, which would be truly tragic.
Moreover, if their scores are similar, they might even be able to apply to the same university.
"Mom, remember to dress nicely on the day of my college entrance exam," Wen Mo suddenly said, then leaned on Xia Lian's shoulder and smiled, "Lianbao too."
“Okay, I’ll bring Lianbao in a cheongsam to support you that day, how about that?” Su Juan had no objections and smiled, raising both hands in agreement.
"That's great, and so are you, Dad."
"I'm wearing a feathered cheongsam!" Wen Yiquan was drinking water and almost sprayed it onto the windshield. He immediately laughed and scolded.
"I didn't ask you to wear a cheongsam, just dress smartly. It'll give me face, considering I've spoken so highly of you today. At least give me something in return," Wen Mo shrugged and smiled.
The atmosphere in the car gradually became cheerful, and the family put on music and started singing, going absolutely crazy.
Xia Lian was the only one who didn't understand the situation, tilting her head with a puzzled look on her face.
What is a cheongsam?
