Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 392 - 167 An Unexpected Encounter between Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi_3

"Little Moon, this neighborhood looks quite nice. It's an upscale community with great landscaping, and the environment inside is good, too."

"Right, Little Moon, where is that Porsche 911 Li Yuan bought for you? Where is it?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Gu Lanxin wordlessly and said irritably, "It's in the underground parking lot."

Gu Lanxin's voice held a touch of excitement as she asked, "Do you have the car keys, or does Li Yuan?"

Zhong Tingyue had already figured out her mother's intentions. "Mom, I have the keys," she replied impatiently. "Just say what you want, okay?"

COUGH. COUGH. Gu Lanxin laughed awkwardly and stated her purpose directly. "Little Moon... well, I've never driven a Porsche sports car in my life. Want to take it for a spin later?"

Zhong Tingyue hesitated slightly, but meeting her mother's expectant gaze, she nodded. This was just her mother's personality.

"Mm."

"Let's go straight to the underground parking lot!" Gu Lanxin said excitedly.

Zhong Tingyue sighed helplessly. "Mom, the car keys are at home."

"Besides, we just drove for two hours. Aren't you tired?"

"Heh, not tired at all! Let's go home first."

The mother and daughter carried their suitcases and walked toward the apartment.

As soon as they entered, Gu Lanxin's eyes landed on the men's slippers on the shoe rack.

So, my daughter is already living with Li Yuan. That's not too surprising. Li Yuan bought her a sports car worth millions; it would be impossible if their relationship hadn't reached that level of intimacy.

Gu Lanxin surveyed the apartment's layout and nodded to herself. The space wasn't small—about 140 square meters, with four bedrooms and a living room. While not a mansion, it was more than spacious enough.

In terms of size, it was about the same as her house in Sucheng. But this was Modu, where property prices and appreciation potential were much higher.

"Little Moon, let me see your Porsche keys and the vehicle registration. Let Mom feast her eyes on them."

Zhong Tingyue replied impatiently, "Mom, why do you want to see those?"

Gu Lanxin smiled. "Can't a mother be curious? Now, hurry up."

"Fine." Zhong Tingyue sighed inwardly, deciding to indulge her mother's peculiar whim.

Because the Porsche 911 was registered directly in Zhong Tingyue's name, Li Yuan had given all the related documents, including the vehicle registration certificate, to her.

A moment later, Zhong Tingyue handed Gu Lanxin a delicate bag with the Porsche logo on it.

"Mom, everything is in here," she said. "I'm planning to return the car to him in a few days."

Gu Lanxin was just about to look inside when she heard Zhong Tingyue's words. Her hand trembled, and she reflexively wanted to scold her. But when she saw her daughter's eyes brimming with tears as she gazed around the living room, she realized Tingyue was lost in memories of him. Gu Lanxin swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Oh, my silly girl. If you return this, you'll be left with nothing, having lost both the man and his gifts! Sometimes, you have to fight for what you want. Love isn't about material possessions, but a sweet romance still needs a certain amount of material security to last. It's a good thing I came along. Otherwise, this foolish girl would have naively returned the car and all the other gifts from Li Yuan. Wouldn't Little Moon have lost out big time then?

Gu Lanxin fiddled with the Porsche keys for a moment, then looked at the vehicle registration. Seeing that it was indeed registered only in her daughter's name, she felt a great sense of relief.

This proves Li Yuan treats my daughter very well. They've only been together for a few days, and he's already given her a luxury car and is planning to open a shop for her. He's far more generous than most wealthy men. He truly is a self-made, first-generation millionaire with a limitless future...

"Little Moon, I think this apartment is quite nice. I'll just stay here for a few days. You're not going to kick your mother out, are you?"

Zhong Tingyue sighed helplessly. She already knew what her mother was planning: to keep trying to patch things up between her and Li Yuan.

But once porcelain is shattered, can it ever be whole again, even if you try to glue the pieces back together?

"You can stay here if you want, Mom. I'll live at the dorms."

This was exactly what Gu Lanxin had been waiting to hear. As long as she could stay here, she would have plenty of opportunities later. Besides, she really did want to have some fun in Modu for a few days.

After waiting in the apartment a little longer, Gu Lanxin grew eager to try out the Porsche.

"Little Moon, let's go for a drive first, then we can get lunch. I'm starving."

"Fine, whatever you want," Zhong Tingyue said, handing the car keys to Gu Lanxin.

"That's great! Let's go now."

Without another word, Gu Lanxin pulled Zhong Tingyue toward the elevator.

Down in the underground garage, the two of them walked up to the Porsche.

Seeing the brand-new Porsche 911, Gu Lanxin grew even more excited. She eagerly opened the passenger door and hurried inside.

Zhong Tingyue was speechless. "Mom, didn't you want to go for a drive? Why are you getting in the passenger seat?"

Gu Lanxin replied matter-of-factly, "You drive us out of the garage first. Then you can teach me how to operate it."

"Fine."

Once on the road, Gu Lanxin took over after a while, enjoying the stares from pedestrians on the street.

She suddenly realized how exhilarating it was to drive a sports car. When she drove her distinctive Volkswagen Beetle, no one on the street ever gave her a second glance. The sports car, however, was a completely different story.

"Little Moon, this sports car is so much more comfortable to drive. If you don't want to drive it, Mom can drive it for you."

"Mom, this is his car. I have to return it to him."

"Did he ask for it back?"

"No."

"But he did say he was giving it to you, right?"

"He did."

"Then why would you return it?"

"Because..."

Just as Zhong Tingyue was about to say they had broken up, Gu Lanxin cut her off.
