Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 310 - 146 Li Yuan: In a pinch, is my father-in-law coming to chop me with a knife?
Yang Jinyu and Bai Tianqi were stunned when their daughter announced that Li Yuan had already bought a house in Modu. Just moments ago, Yang Jinyu had been passionately explaining how important and expensive property in Modu was. It seemed all her words had been wasted.
Yang Jinyu’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Baby, did Li Yuan’s family really buy a house in Modu?" she asked quickly.
"Yes, they already bought it."
Bai Weixi nodded seriously. For some reason, seeing the shocked expression on her mother’s face filled her with a strange sense of delight.
Back in high school, her mother constantly urged her to get into a university in Modu, settle down there, and leave their small county town behind. She always talked about how much better big cities like Modu were, a thousand times better than their shabby little town. Under her constant influence, the idea was branded into Bai Weixi’s heart. She became determined to attend a university in Modu, live there permanently, and eventually bring her parents over. It wasn’t just for herself; it was also for the mother who doted on her. She wanted her mom to be able to hold her head high and mend relationships with her grandmother’s side of the family.
Seeing her daughter’s confident reply, a smile spread across Yang Jinyu’s face. She suddenly felt extremely pleased with her future son-in-law. He was tall, handsome, a high school classmate of her daughter’s, and had gotten into the same university. On top of that, his family was wealthy enough to afford a house in Modu. He seemed to fulfill all her expectations.
Yang Jinyu smiled confidently. "Baby, it sounds like Li Yuan’s family is quite well-off. His parents must be business owners or government officials."
Judging by Li Yuan’s parents’ appearance during the college entrance exam, they can’t possibly be officials or businesspeople. Besides, Li Yuan bought the house himself with his own manuscript fees.
Bai Tianqi’s tense, gloomy expression finally softened, and a faint smile even appeared on his face.
I’m still heartbroken that my precious daughter, whom I’ve raised for eighteen years, has been stolen away. But at least the pig that snatched my prize cabbage is of good quality. He barely meets my standards. If her boyfriend were one of those non-mainstream types with dyed hair and outlandish styles I see at her school, I’d be angry enough to storm over to his house with a knife. Who could possibly understand the feelings of a doting father, a true ’daughter’s slave’? This daughter of mine is naturally beautiful, sweet, obedient, and an excellent student. From the day she was born, she has fulfilled every fantasy I had for a daughter...
Bai Weixi hesitated, unsure if she should also tell her parents that Li Yuan had bought her a car.
A sports car that costs over 700,000 yuan... would telling them shock them? Absolutely. My parents haven’t even brought themselves to buy a small sedan. To see me today, they took a long-distance bus early this morning. Forget my parents, even I still feel like I’m in a dream. It all feels so surreal. Living in a 160-square-meter apartment, driving a convertible worth over 700,000 yuan...
Seeing her daughter’s hesitation, Yang Jinyu asked curiously, "Baby, is there something else you want to say?"
Bai Weixi glanced at her parents. The better Li Yuan treats me, the happier and more satisfied Mom and Dad will be. They won’t try to stop us from being together. That way, if they find out we’re already living together, maybe they’ll be a little less furious...
Bai Weixi decided to tell them the truth.
"Well, actually, Li Yuan also bought me a car."
"He bought you a car?"
Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu were floored once again.
Yang Jinyu’s voice trembled and rose several octaves as she stared intently at her daughter. "Baby, what did you just say? Li Yuan also bought you a car?"
"Yes, he just bought it yesterday," Bai Weixi confirmed with a nod and a smile. Her mother’s reaction was exactly what she had expected.
Bai Tianqi also murmured in shock, "You just started university, what do you need a car for? Even if his family has some money, he shouldn’t be so wasteful."
"Bai Tianqi, if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all! Li Yuan is treating our Xixi well, and you’re not happy about it?"
Yang Jinyu glared at her husband. Thinking of how she had been with him for twenty years and given him such a beautiful, obedient, and sensible daughter, yet she had nothing to show for it, she couldn’t help but scoff.
"I’ve been with you for half my life, and you’ve never even brought yourself to buy me a car."
Bai Tianqi awkwardly touched his nose. His monthly salary was only two thousand yuan. Since he didn’t run a business or a tutoring center, saving up for even the cheapest car—costing eighty or ninety thousand—would take forever. From their combined salaries, after deducting social obligations, living expenses, and the cost of their daughter’s various lessons for piano, guitar, and so on, there was barely anything left. Moreover, his wife, Yang Jinyu, came from a big city and had high standards for her quality of life.
After scolding her husband, Yang Jinyu turned back to Bai Weixi, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Baby, what kind of car did Li Yuan buy you? Is it a domestic brand, or a foreign one like Volkswagen, Hyundai, or Honda?"
"Mom, it’s a BMW," Bai Weixi said, her voice noticeably brighter.
"A BMW?" Yang Jinyu’s eyes went wide, and she asked again, suspecting she had misheard. "Baby, the car Li Yuan bought you... it’s really a BMW?"
