The Crazy Son-In-Law

As they passed the Audi display, Liu Miaozhen’s eyes were immediately drawn to an Audi A8. The perfect sports lines and sky-blue body looked like a graceful ballerina dancing under the soft lights. Normally, she wouldn’t have any extravagant thoughts, as her family’s financial status was only considered upper-middle class in St. Marquet. But now, her boyfriend was Xiao Zhou, and she had a gold card that she could use freely, so she couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

“Honey, that R8 is gorgeous,” Liu Miaozhen said with expectant eyes to Xiao Zhou.

“It’s beautiful, but the price is nearly two million,” Liu Yunxia remarked from the side.

Xiao Zhou hesitated, as even though he had the gold card, he still felt uneasy about spending someone else’s money. Du Xing had also the same idea, believing that even if he gave Xiao Shun a card with no spending limit, he still wanted to save face and wouldn’t use it recklessly. However, given Xiao Zhou’s current net worth, he could afford it even without the card. Even if they broke up, he was confident he could get the money back, if anything, he would consider it buying a car for himself.

“Do you like it?” he asked softly.

“I do,” Liu Miaozhen nodded.

“Well, let’s buy it since my baby likes it.”

“Hubby, you’re the best!” Liu Miaozhen exclaimed excitedly.

Liu Miaozhen was somewhat taken aback by the unexpected favor. She never imagined that Xiao Zhou would love her so much. It was nearly two million, and she originally had no hope. She didn’t expect him to agree so readily, which was beyond her expectations. She immediately kissed Xiao Zhou’s face several times, ignoring the presence of others.

The Liu family members were equally surprised that Xiao Zhou would give in so easily. This kind of generosity, even if it was because of the card, was still part of his character, wasn’t it? This immediately earned him even more admiration and praise from the onlookers. It was inevitable that people would compare Xiao Zhou with Xiao Shun, who were poles apart, like heaven and earth.

Taking advantage of Xiao Zhou’s conversation with the salesperson about the car’s performance and handling procedures, Liu Miaozhen deliberately went to Yao Cen and boasted, “Cen, a man like Xiao Zhou is the kind you should look for. As long as I like something and give it a second glance, whether it’s two million or twenty million, Xiao Zhou will buy it for me without blinking an eye. That’s what a real man is.”

If she knew that Xiao Shun had given Yao Cen a pellet worth ten billion, she would have a different reaction, even if it didn’t work. Yao Cen saw her boastful expression and didn’t bother to argue. Xiao Shun could casually hand over a check worth two billion without blinking an eye. What was two million to him?

“Honey, which car do you like?” Xiao Shun asked, walking over.

“How could you afford any of these?” Liu Yunxia looked at him scornfully.

“Yao Cen’s driven that car of hers for several years. If you could afford it, you would’ve bought it by now, so why are you asking now?” Liu Miaozhen’s mother, Cen Shuang, also sneered.

“I can’t afford it, but didn’t Mr. Xiao say yesterday that he would cover today’s bills?” Xiao Shun said matter-of-factly, then looked at Yao Cen and gave her a meaningful smile.

“Aunt Yunxia mentioned that your car has been driven for many years, and it’s time for a change. Why not take this opportunity to get a new one? It’s convenient since these are all available for immediate delivery.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Liu family was stunned. Xiao Zhou did say that yesterday, but who would have the nerve to take it seriously, especially since they were talking about buying a car, not a piece of clothing or a handbag? The displayed cars started at a minimum of two hundred thousand for the Audi A3.

“I’m used to driving the A4, so let’s get a new A4,” Yao Cen said with a smile, not understanding Xiao Shun’s trick but still playing along.

She then pointed to an A4 and said to Liu Miaozhen, “That one seems to have all the options, with a starting price of four hundred thousand. Your boyfriend wouldn’t mind, would he?”

Before Liu Miaozhen could speak, Xiao Shun said, “Of course not! He bought a two million car without blinking an eye; this is just four hundred thousand. Besides, it’s not our money, so why should we care?” Liu Miaozhen was left speechless.

“You two really have thick skin,” Liu Manxiang rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, “You’ve been like those peasants and want to take advantage of everything. Anyone who has relatives like you must have really bad luck.”

“That’s not fair,” Liu Yunxiang said. “Yesterday, Mr. Xiao said that in front of everyone, and no one forced him. Did he bring us out here in the cold just to make fun of us?”

Liu Yunxiang didn’t hold back her anger, having been upset yesterday and finally finding a chance to fight back.

Just then, Xiao Zhou walked over, hearing the lively discussion they were having. He didn’t have to think twice to know they must be praising him. With a beaming smile, he said, “Sorry to have kept you all waiting. I’m still handling some paperwork, so it might take a while longer. Perhaps I and Miaozhen can finish the paperwork here, and you all can go and have a look around?”

“Xiao Zhou, you said yesterday that you’d cover all the bills today, didn’t you? Does that still stand?” Liu Yuxiang asked.

“Of course it does. Everything you all buy today is on me.” Xiao Zhou hadn’t heard their previous conversation, so when Liu Yuxiang mentioned this, he hesitated for a moment before responding with a proud smile.

“Well, our Yao Cen wants to get a new car. Why don’t you just swipe your card for that?” Liu Yunxiang bluntly said.

Xiao Zhou’s smile instantly froze.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Damn, these people were thick-skinned. He had thought they would just buy a few clothes or some New Year’s goods which wouldn’t cost much. But no, they were asking for a car right away.

Cen Shuang saw that Xiao Zhou’s expression was off and quickly said, “Xiao Zhou, Aunt Yunxiang is just joking with you. Don’t take it seriously.”

Xiao Zhou gave a dry laugh, but before he could say anything, Liu Yunxiang continued, “I’m not joking. It’s not like it’s your money anyway, so what’s the problem with helping Cen get a new car?”

“Liu Yunxiang, you’re being too greedy. That’s a car we’re talking about. Xiao Zhou kindly brought us here to shop, and you can’t take advantage of him like this,” Cen Shuang said with a displeased expression.

“Yeah, that’s hundreds of thousands. You can’t afford it, so you want to be a vampire? That’s quite shameless,” Liu Yunxia chimed in.

“So what you’re saying is, Mr. Xiao’s words are like farts, just to be heard and dismissed, right?” Xiao Shun retorted bluntly.

“Who gave you, a useless person, the right to speak? If you have the ability, earn money and buy it yourself. All you think about is taking advantage of others, and you still have the nerve to talk,” Liu Yunxia, being the eldest sister in the Liu family, was always domineering and sarcastic.
