The dinner finally broke up a little after eleven at night.
Qin Chuan drove his Tiger Head Benz, first taking his parents and elder sister-in-law home.
As for those brats, they had all excitedly run home long ago to see their new cars!
“Xiao Chuan, the car you’re driving now has such spacious room, and it looks quite new. It wouldn’t be one you bought too, would it?”
Qin’s father felt the soft leather seats beneath him, touching here and there. Although he didn’t recognize the Mercedes-Benz logo, he could still distinguish a good car from an ordinary one.
Especially this Tiger Head Benz, which was very beautiful both inside and out.
“Old man, don’t touch it carelessly. Be careful your dirty fingernails scratch the leather!”
Qin’s mother lightly hit her husband, scolding him in a low voice.
Qin Chuan, who was driving, clearly noticed Li Ya in the front passenger seat, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without blinking.
His father, mother, and elder sister-in-law might not know Mercedes-Benz or BMW, but Li Ya definitely did.
Throughout the entire dinner, Li Ya had been very commendable. She didn't ask where he got so much money to buy so many cars, nor did she inquire about the origin of this Tiger Head Benz.
Qin Chuan had a feeling that Li Ya was waiting for him to proactively provide a perfect explanation.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is the famous Tiger Head Benz, isn’t it!”
“A benchmark in the Mercedes-Benz series, and judging by the style and interior, it looks like the latest model released this year!”
Indeed, Li Ya spoke.
“Yes, this car is the latest model Tiger Head Benz!”
“Its market price is as high as 1.8 million!”
Qin Chuan replied honestly.
“How much?!”
“What!!”
“Ah!!”
Before Qin Chuan could even finish speaking, three different exclamations came from the back seat one after another. His parents were both startled, and his elder sister-in-law covered her mouth, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Even Li Ya was taken aback, her pretty face full of surprise, because the price was truly exorbitant, nearly double what she had expected.
She had guessed the car would cost around one million, but it turned out to be a staggering 1.8 million.
Buying a car for 1.8 million, was he crazy!
Fortunately, at this moment, Qin Chuan quickly explained to save himself, “Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t buy this car. I don’t have that much money.”
“Then where did this car come from?”
Li Ya’s gaze was intense. If it were a car worth one or two hundred thousand, or even two to three hundred thousand, she wouldn’t have cared that much, as she truly needed it.
But a Tiger Head Benz worth 1.8 million was entirely different. Li Ya felt she wouldn't be able to sleep if she didn't figure this out.
This one car was equivalent to several years of income for her factory!
“It was a gift from a friend! A friend gave it to me!”
Qin Chuan quickly explained again.
“What kind of friend can afford to give you such an expensive car?”
This time, before Li Ya could speak, Qin’s mother pressed.
Although Qin’s father said nothing, the look in his eyes was sharp, as if he planned to whip his son with his belt if he didn't explain clearly.
No matter how capable his son was, a father beating his son was a matter of course!
“It’s like this, I went to the provincial capital this time and partnered with a friend on a business, and then we made money!”
Qin Chuan explained, “My friend bought this luxury car and insisted on giving it to me to thank me!”
“Oh my, my son is so capable now. He goes out to do business casually, and people give him a luxury car worth 1.8 million!”
Qin’s father said sarcastically, then his tone suddenly became extremely stern, and he said coldly, “What kind of business can be so profitable? Tell me in detail!”
“Xiao San, Mom warns you, we absolutely cannot do anything illegal or criminal!”
Qin’s mother had already started thinking of many unpleasant possibilities.
“Mom, what are you thinking? Is your son that kind of person!”
Qin Chuan said with a wry smile.
He knew that this Tiger Head Benz would cause trouble upon its return. As expected, the trouble had arrived, and it was like a trial by three accusers. Fortunately, he had a foolproof plan.
“Don’t be flippant, tell me quickly, what business were you and your friend doing?”
Qin’s father pressed sternly.
“Coal!”
Qin Chuan blurted out the two words very quickly. This was the excuse he had long thought of, because the matter of futures trading absolutely could not be revealed, otherwise, the trouble would be even greater!
Even if he made money, he was afraid he might get beaten!
“Xiao Chuan, when did you get to know friends in the coal business?”
Li Ya's voice was soft and lingering.
Jin Province was a major coal-producing province, famous nationwide. The coal business was notoriously lucrative, so no one was too suspicious of this reason.
“Sister, I know many people outside. It’s not unusual for me to meet a few like-minded friends in the coal business, right!”
Qin Chuan said casually.
Li Ya fell silent and turned her gaze to the car window. Qin Chuan, busy dealing with his parents, didn’t notice the complex light appearing in Li Ya’s eyes.
“Then… Xiao Chuan, how much money did you actually make this time doing business with your friends in coal?”
Suddenly, elder sister-in-law Wu Yanyan asked.
The atmosphere in the car went quiet. Qin’s father and mother stopped talking, their expressions tense, exchanging solemn glances.
“Sister-in-law, how much can I make? I was just helping out with errands. The ones who really made big money were my friends, they are all second-generation rich!”
“The money I made, you’ve all seen it, I’ve bought almost all cars with it!”
Qin Chuan still had a playful smile on his face as he answered his sister-in-law’s question.
It wasn’t that he wanted to lie, but as someone who had experienced life, Qin Chuan understood too well the root of conflicts among relatives. Even the best family ties could turn sour when money was involved!
“Better to be poor than to be unequal in distribution!”
This was a true reflection of human nature. Although Qin Chuan had a good impression of his elder sister-in-law Wu Yanyan, it was only to that extent. No one could guarantee that people wouldn’t change.
“That’s still a lot. Five cars together must be over a million, right?”
Elder sister-in-law Wu Yanyan said.
“Roughly!”
As they were speaking, they arrived at his parents’ place. Qin’s father and mother got out, and his elder sister-in-law also followed. Their two homes were very close.
“Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, goodbye!”
Qin Chuan and Li Ya bid farewell to his parents and elder sister-in-law and drove back.
On the way back, Qin Chuan finally noticed Li Ya’s emotional abnormality.
“Sister, what’s wrong?”
“I’m fine!”
Li Ya said.
“Liar, your emotional reaction now is completely different from before, and you say you’re fine?”
Qin Chuan pulled the car over to the side of the road and stared intently into Li Ya’s eyes.
Being stared at like this by Qin Chuan, Li Ya’s heart fluttered inexplicably.
At some point, this man a few years younger than her had become increasingly mature, increasingly capable, and his gaze had become increasingly sharp.
She had a slight emotional fluctuation, and he immediately noticed it, his reaction being extremely sensitive.
Li Ya had originally thought that as the factory director of Butterfly Apparel Factory, possessing both beauty and wisdom, she could confidently and calmly play the role of Qin Chuan’s girlfriend.
But as Qin Chuan rapidly developed, his wealth also soared. Both the supermarket and real estate ventures were doing well, and he was getting to know more and more people.
In Yongnan County alone, Qin Chuan’s name was more well-known than hers in many units, and he had close connections.
In just about half a year, Qin Chuan’s wealth had caught up to her apparel factory. And this time he went to the provincial capital, he made so much money, a Tiger Head Benz worth 1.8 million was given to him just like that.
Li Ya felt a strong sense of crisis!
