“All you know is eating!” Xiao Qian pushed Chen Zilong aside and said to Lily Tang, “Even though the frozen and soft versions of the pear taste different, they’re still the same pear. It’s the same with people. In different times and different capacities, the way we express our feelings will definitely change.”

Lily Tang, stumped by Xiao Qian’s words, held the blackened frozen pear in her hand and turned to leave.

“See you tomorrow.”

“Qian’er, didn’t you say she would stay the night? How can you let Shuixian go home in the dark? It’s not safe. Ming Lang, could you drive her home?” Jia Xiufang said with concern.

Yu Minglang didn’t respond directly, but looked at Xiao Qian. Seeing Xiao Qian shake her head, he remained silent.

“It’s alright, someone else will pick her up at the gate.”

Jia Xiufang was still worried, so she accompanied Shuixian to the gate. In less than two minutes, a Bentley pulled up.

“Aunt, you go home, thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll come over another day to thank you.” Lily Tang sincerely said as she got into the car.

After saying goodbye to Lily Tang, Jia Xiufang came back and asked Xiao Qian. “Qian’er, Shuixian just left in a car with wings, is everything alright?”

“It’s fine, that’s her family’s car.” Yu Minglang had scared the bodyguards away from spying on the roof, so they could only wait in the car.

“Even people who sell chive dumplings are driving cars now, just how many dumplings do they have to sell…” Jia Xiufang muttered to herself.

“Car with wings?” Yu Minglang asked Xiao Qian through his eyes. Xiao Qian nodded, yes, it’s the brand you’re thinking of.

Yu Minglang raised his eyebrows in surprise. When did his precious Qian Bao become friends with a rich girl?

“Mom, even a person who sells chive dumplings gets a car to drop off and pick her up. If you get a driving license in the future, can you also drop off and pick me up?” Chen Zilong was always fond of material things.

“Not a chance. If you have your sister’s grades, I might consider it. Given your performance, even if I gave you a bicycle, it would be overkill – Qian’er, how much does that winged car cost?”

Xiao Qian blinked. “Not too much, just…”

“Over 3 million?”

“Silly Xiao Mei, do you think Bentleys are Mercedes-Benzs? For imported cars over 3.0L, the customs tax is 80%. With the car consumption tax and everything else, you can’t get a car with wings for less than 5 million.”

Xiao Qian smacked her forehead. “Right, I forgot about that.”

Many years later, Xiao Qian bought a Maserati GT for just under 3 million, but at that time, the customs tax was only 25%.

As she chatted casually with Yu Minglang, both Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong were left stunned.

“Did you say… that winged car… how much was it?” Jia Xiufang thought she had heard wrong.

“Oh my god, I was actually chatting with such a wealthy person. I even explained the frozen pears to her.” Chen Zilong was also shocked.

“It’s no big deal. Just act normal when she comes to our house next time, no need to be formal.”

But how could they not be formal? There are only a few people in Qiang city who can afford a 5 million car.

“But Qian’er, didn’t you say she sells chive dumplings?”

“The chive dumpling business wasn’t going well, so they changed to oil drilling and found an oil field. Then they started some coal mines, and later, they got involved with all sorts of stuff. So, mom, keep working hard, and who knows, you might end up as a bad-ass CEO someday.”

“Stop kidding…” Jia Xiufang was still in shock from her recent conversation with the daughter of a tycoon – no, the daughter of a mega-tycoon!

“I’m not kidding. This is a golden age. People who are unsuccessful at selling chive dumplings can become wealthy. My mom runs a successful dry cleaning business, so why can’t she start a business?”

“Sister, next time when you see the tycoon’s daughter, could you ask if I could experience what it’s like in her car? Just let me sit in it once.”

Jia Xiufang and Xiao Qian simultaneously hit him on his head and butt. “Look at you, no ambition at all!”

“If you’re capable, earn one by yourself. What’s the point of sitting in someone else’s car?”

Yu Minglang chuckled at the sight of this mother-and-son banter. Seeing Chen Zilong getting hit again, he waited until Xiao Qian stopped before he stepped in.

“Big Dragon, I don’t have a 5 million car, but how about riding in your brother-in-law’s modest ten-thousand-dollar car? I was thinking of taking you and your sister to see a movie tonight.”

“I’ll go, I’ll go!” Chen Zilong immediately raised his hand.

Xiao Qian glanced at Yu Minglang. This guy is still not giving up on the midnight show idea? And wants to drag an extra person along?

Yu Minglang winked at Xiao Qian. Qian Bao, this is strategy!

As expected, once the idea of bringing another person was mentioned, Jia Xiufang immediately agreed.

“You go along with them. Don’t make trouble for your sister and Ming Lang, don’t make demands, behave properly, understand?”

“Aunt, don’t worry. With Xiao Qian and Big Dragon with me, there will be no problems.”

After having some midnight snacks, Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian and Chen Zilong out. As soon as the car left the village, Yu Minglang turned to Chen Zilong.

“Big Dragon, do you like soaking in hot springs?”

Xiao Qian turned her head. Weren’t they going to see a movie? When did it change to hot springs?

“I love it!” Chen Zilong had only seen it on TV and never experienced it in person, but anything he had not experienced was always fascinating to him.

“I’m going to take you to a fun place where you can soak in hot springs and watch movies in private rooms. Your sister and I like horror films, which are not suitable for a teenager’s intellectual and emotional growth. You can soak in the hot springs outside, there’s also a barbecue buffet that’s free and a billiards room…”

“Wow! Brother Lang, you’re so cool. I love it -” Under his sister’s stern gaze, Chen Zilong wisely shut up.

“Chen Zilong, are you here playing rich man?” Xiao Qian knew that Yu Minglang didn’t earn much; he was talking about a hot spring clubhouse, which only served the wealthy.

“No worries, my boss gave me a voucher and it doesn’t cost a thing. He gets a bunch of these things as gifts at the office, and he never uses them. We’re just helping him clear out some inventory.” Yu Minglang winked at Xiao Qian.

Chen Zilong cheered, “Brother Lang is amazing! No wonder he didn’t want me to eat tonight. He was making room for barbecue!”

Xiao Qian was exasperated. Her wastrel brother was so easy to deceive. Yu Minglang had just thrown him some bait, and he was hooked!

Yu Minglang wasn’t asking Chen Zilong to a hot spring; this was his way of getting Zilong out of the way so that he could spend some alone time with her! And by alone time, he specifically meant alone in a small dark room!

And what good could come from a man and a woman alone in a small dark room?

Moreover, Yu Minglang, this shameless man, had deliberately wrangled Zilong in, just to reassure Jia Xiufang while already having figured out how to ditch the third wheel!

This dim-witted brother of hers, his IQwas completely off the radar! Yu Minglang had sold him out, and Chen Zilong was still cheering him on.

Once they got to the place, Yu Minglang left Chen Zilong at the hot springs area with a waiter to keep an eye on him. Then, he gave Xiao Qian a warm smile.

“Qian Bao, may I have the honor of inviting you to a movie?”

“I’m staying to soak in the hot spring.” Xiao Qian had no intention of entering the small dark room with him, especially not one that only held two people!

Yu Minglang grinned, “Do you think I’m the type of sleazy man who, on a date, would push his girlfriend in the water just to see her in a swimsuit?”
