Chapter 770 -326: No More Pretense, Laying the Cards on the Table_2
Zhou Yuwen had a pretty good relationship with his cousin Liu Yilin when they were younger, but as they grew up and stopped staying in touch, their bond faded.
Back then, Zhou Yuwen remembered that his cousin was quiet, but not as overly quiet as she is now, which some might even call reclusive.
Zhou Yuwen told Fourth Aunt that with his cousin’s grades, she could easily aim for a second-tier university, but it mainly depended on her own wishes.
“Studying in Jinling would be good too; I could look after my cousin a bit. But I’ll support her if she wants to study somewhere else,” Zhou Yuwen said.
Upon hearing this, Fourth Aunt sighed. She said, “With her temperament, I wouldn’t feel at ease if she went somewhere else. I was hoping to send her to Jinling, so you and your cousin could look after her!”
When Aunt heard this, she quickly replied, “Don’t worry, Fourth Sister. Once Yilin comes to Jinling, Xiao Yong will certainly help take care of her. It’s indeed important to look after girls when they are away from home!”
Fourth Aunt nodded, finding Aunt’s words to be very true.
Then Aunt pulled Fourth Aunt aside to chat.
Mrs. Zhou saw her son just focused on eating and felt somewhat displeased, thinking to herself, this kid, how can he just think about eating?
This is a gathering of relatives and friends, and he doesn’t even greet anyone!
“Zhou Yuwen, Auntie seems to be looking for you,” Su Qing whispered to Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen looked up and saw his mother giving him a look.
Zhou Yuwen understood what that look meant, but thought to himself, I can’t just chime in anyway.
At this moment, his little cousin Er Ya, together with another cousin, bounced over to Zhou Yuwen and asked, “Bro, have you finished eating?”
Normally, people would call each other “cousin,” but since Zhou Yuwen was a bit closer to a few of his cousins, those girls would directly call him “Bro.”
Zhou Yuwen scooped her up and said, “What’s up? Miss your brother?”
Flexing his muscles, Zhou Yuwen jokingly gave her an airplane ride, prompting giggles from his cousin who said, “Bro, after you finish eating, can you take us for a ride in your BMW?”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but the mention of “your BMW” caught people’s attention, making them wonder, what? Did Zhou Guobin buy his son a BMW? He’s quite bold, isn’t he?
At that moment, relatives at the table turned their gaze towards Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen, pretending not to notice, playfully tweaked Er Ya’s nose and quipped, “Little girl, you’re so young and already talking about driving BMWs? You want to drive Porsches and Ferraris when you grow up?”
“What’s that?” Er Ya blinked in confusion.
Alright, she doesn’t know about these cars.
Zhou Yuwen wasn’t really up for taking Er Ya out, but she clung stubbornly to him. She had only seen her classmate Huang Xiaoshuai’s family with a BMW, and Huang Xiaoshuai had boasted about it, saying he wouldn’t let her ride it and would take another girl from class instead.
This infuriated Er Ya, and she was determined to tell Huang Xiaoshuai today: My brother has a BMW too! And my brother’s BMW is bigger than yours!
Er Ya proceeded to tug at Zhou Yuwen’s arm, making a fuss.
Zhou Yuwen said, “If you cry, I’ll take you out.”
“Ah…” Er Ya began to muster up her emotions.
Zhou Yuwen burst into laughter, saying, “You really start crying when told to, huh, little rascal?”
Mrs. Zhou was displeased and frowned at her son, signaling him to stop teasing his cousin.
At this time, some relatives were asking Zhou Guobin, “Hey, big bro, did you get Wenwen a car?”
Zhou Guobin shook his head, saying, “I don’t have spare cash to buy him a car.”
“Then why is Er Ya saying her brother’s got a BMW?” someone asked.
“Yeah, Guobin, you really spoil Yuwen!”
Initially, the aunts and uncles were all crowding around Peng Xiaoyong, bombarding him with questions.
Peng Xiaoyong was enjoying being the center of attention for the first time at such a family gathering, but before long, the “BMW” supposedly belonging to Zhou Yuwen stole the spotlight.
But truthfully, Peng Xiaoyong wasn’t pleased about it.
He had discussed with his mother about buying a second-hand car just for commuting, but his family could only offer up to twenty thousand yuan.
Yet Zhou Yuwen, still so young, was already driving a BMW?
A group of people crowded around Zhou Guobin, their tones laced with playful jest, as everyone knew Zhou Guobin’s family was well-off, but no one knew exactly how wealthy they were.
But now here was Zhou Yuwen, in his freshman year, supposedly with a BMW.
This suggested that their family was showing off their wealth.
Zhou Guobin found himself at a loss for words and couldn’t help but ask Zhou Yuwen what the deal was.
Zhou Yuwen, with Er Ya perched on his lap, laughed and said, “How could my dad possibly buy me a BMW? Er Ya is just fooling you all.”
“I am not!”
Er Ya was anxious upon hearing this; after all, she was a good kid, how could she lie!
“He did arrive in a BMW! And my brother’s BMW is really big! It’s much larger than my classmate’s car, it’s this big!” Er Ya stretched out her arms as wide as she could.
Zhou Yuwen had thought to deny it initially.
Who knew that Er Ya would just dig into her own pocket: “His car keys are still here!”
This stinky girl, she has such sharp eyes!
Turns out she’s been eyeing my BMW all along!
Caught red-handed, there’s no denying it now.
Some relatives also have sharp eyes; seeing the car keys is one thing, but the key fob clearly reads X7!
“Is this for real? Er Ya, hand over the keys to your uncle-in-law to see, isn’t this the key to an X7? My goodness, Yuwen, you drive this car?”
The uncle-in-law keeps exclaiming “My goodness.”
A BMW X7! A car worth over a million!
The other relatives also started examining the car keys.
Now Zhou Guobin couldn’t sit still, a car worth millions?
Are you trying to get your father unemployed?
Zhou Guobin’s face immediately stiffened, asking Zhou Yuwen what’s going on, to explain quickly.
Zhou Yuwen gave a wry smile and said, there’s nothing to explain.
“It’s an X7, uncle-in-law has good eyes.”
At this, everyone was stunned, turning their gazes towards Zhou Guobin.
Zhou Guobin asked: “Where did you get it from?”
“I bought it myself.”
“You bought it? Where did you get the money?”
“Don’t you all follow the news?”
Now, the entire table of relatives was looking at Zhou Yuwen in disbelief.
The news about Zhou Yuwen having a million-yuan luxury car.
This was far more shocking than Peng Xiaoyong coming back from studying abroad.
To be honest, beside Peng Xiaoyong feeling a bit superior about his studies abroad, others would at most give him a bit of praise, but who can say for sure about his future development.
But Zhou Yuwen’s million-yuan luxury car!
Truly, relatives living well is even harder to take than killing them.
Even if Zhou Guobin’s position is not low, in the system, life is pretty much the same for everyone.
The problem is your son driving a BMW X7!
“News, what news?”
Zhou Yuwen looked at the dumbfounded faces and couldn’t help but laugh: “Well, I’ll forward the news to the family group, and you can check it out.”
So, Zhou Yuwen opened the [Loving Family] group that he had been blocking for a long time.
About the news of the “Genius Author Earns Millions a Month,” click, share.
Then, every relative at the table lowered their heads.
Good lord! Even the headline alone is shocking.
Even Zhou Yuwen’s parents lowered their heads.
And Peng Xiaoyong, who was also puzzled about how his cousin suddenly got a luxury car, now found Zhou Yuwen’s words baffling.
He thought, just say what you want to say, why post it in the group?
Lu Wanting, sitting next to Peng Xiaoyong, was also curiously blinking, looking down at Peng Xiaoyong’s phone.
Su Qing asked Zhou Yuwen: “Your family has a family group? How come I’ve never joined?”
Zhou Yuwen chuckled softly, whispering to Su Qing under the table: “Why would you want to join that broken group?”
And when the relatives finished reading the full article, their faces were filled with shock.
Such events, happening to others, wouldn’t surprise them at all.
But occurring in their own family, well, that’s really…
Too shocking…
Everyone looked up at Zhou Yuwen filled with disbelief.
“Wow, your brother earns three million a month!” Lu Wanting couldn’t help exclaiming in awe.
This statement deeply wounded Peng Xiaoyong’s pride.
