Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 311 - 146 Li Yuan: In a pinch, is my father-in-law coming to chop me with a knife?_2
"Um." Bai Weixi still couldn’t bring herself to tell them the truth—that it was a sports car.
Yang Jinyu’s expression was one of utter shock. In her mind, BMWs and Mercedes were synonymous with luxury cars, each costing at least three or four hundred thousand. Based on her salary, she couldn’t afford one even if she didn’t eat or drink for ten years.
Such a luxury car, and her daughter’s boyfriend just bought it for her? Buying a house and a car in Modu... my precious daughter has quite the eye, much better than I did back in the day. I was only attracted to Bai Tianqi’s looks and had no regard for his financial status. To be a fool in love is to suffer for a lifetime.
When Bai Tianqi heard that Li Yuan had bought his beloved daughter a BMW, he looked at her with a worried expression.
Someone else has already bought her a car. Has my foolish girl already been eaten clean? he thought, growing angry. He wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn’t come out. They’re two young people in love at university. When feelings run deep, those things will inevitably happen. I can’t even think of a way to prevent it. I’m not some old-fashioned conservative, but my heart suddenly feels heavy. I’m happy she’s found an outstanding and reliable boyfriend, but I’m also worried for her. She’s only eighteen, what can she possibly understand about love? I’m so afraid she’ll get hurt in this relationship. That Li Yuan is clearly from a very well-off family; he must be a rich heir. What if he’s just toying with my daughter’s feelings...
At this thought, Bai Tianqi’s brows furrowed even deeper, creasing into a frown. He silently made a vow. If that boy dares to use and abandon her, I’ll risk my own life to get justice for my precious daughter...
Yang Jinyu glanced at her shyly blushing daughter, and the same thoughts crossed her mind. Since Li Yuan has already bought her a car, their relationship must be serious. They’re at the same school, so things might have already gotten heated. They might even be living together for all I know.
Yang Jinyu took Bai Weixi’s hand and asked with concern, "Sweetheart, how far have things gone between you and Li Yuan?"
Bai Weixi’s face flushed crimson, a blush that spread rapidly from her cheeks to her neck until it was so red it looked like it might bleed. She was so nervous that her words became jumbled. "Mom, what are you talking about?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
As someone with experience, Yang Jinyu could guess the truth just from her daughter’s expression. She advised her in a solemn tone, "Sweetheart, Li Yuan buying you a car shows he cares a lot about you. It’s perfectly normal for young people like you to have certain things happen when you’re dating.
"But, Sweetheart, you must always remember what Mom says: you have to protect yourself, understand? Don’t be too casual. Once men get what they want easily, they won’t cherish it. This is especially true for rich men."
Bai Weixi shyly lowered her head, feeling a little confused and not quite understanding what her mother meant...
Bai Tianqi cleared his throat in embarrassment. "AHEM, honey, why don’t you two discuss this privately tonight?
"Let’s eat first. The hot pot here is actually pretty good."
Bai Weixi breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully made a goofy face at her father. She had never imagined that confessing her relationship to her parents would be so terrifying. Her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.
While they ate, Yang Jinyu asked more about her life at school—if she was eating well, if she was homesick, if the courses were difficult, where her roommates were from, if they were getting along...
"Sweetheart, after we eat, you can take your dad and me to see your university."
"Your Daxia University is a prestigious university. The campus must be quite nice, right?"
Bai Weixi giggled and hugged Yang Jinyu’s arm playfully. "Mom, our school is a century-old institution, and the scenery is beautiful! We have a cafe, a library, Xia Yu Island, the Liwa River, statues of great figures... You won’t be disappointed when you visit..."
"Then let’s go right after we finish eating." Yang Jinyu stroked her daughter’s hair. She had missed her terribly and couldn’t feel at ease, which was why she had come to Modu to see her as soon as the National Day holiday started. "We can also see the car Li Yuan bought for you. You can take your dad and me for a spin. Heh, in my whole life, I never got to ride in a car your dad bought, but now I get to ride in my darling daughter’s BMW first."
Seeing her mother’s excitement, Bai Weixi felt a deeper pang of regret. Why did I have to buy a two-seater sports car? It’s so inconvenient.
She replied meekly, "Uh, I’m afraid I can’t take you and Dad for a ride."
Yang Jinyu asked, puzzled, "Why not? Did Li Yuan take the car?"
"No, Mom," Bai Weixi answered weakly. "It’s because my car is a two-seater sports car. It can only fit two people, and there are three of us."
"You bought a sports car?" Yang Jinyu was shocked again. Her eyes went wide, and her voice was so loud that other customers in the restaurant couldn’t help but look over.
Bai Weixi, half laughing and half exasperated, whispered, "Mom, keep your voice down. There are other people around."
Realizing her reaction had been a bit much, Yang Jinyu quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Heh, quick, tell me what’s going on. Aren’t BMWs usually sedans and SUVs? They make sports cars, too?
"Besides, aren’t sports cars usually extremely expensive? They must cost over a million."
Bai Tianqi looked at his daughter with the same expression. A BMW worth three or four hundred thousand was something he could accept, but if it was a sports car worth over a million...
Bai Weixi’s cheeks burned as she stammered out an explanation, "Mom, well, BMW does have a sports car. It’s called the BMW Z4. It’s a two-seater convertible."
