Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 314 - 146 Li Yuan: In a Crisis, Is My Father-in-law Coming to Chop Me with a Knife?_5

Chapter 314: Chapter 146 Li Yuan: In a Crisis, Is My Father-in-law Coming to Chop Me with a Knife?_5

Yang Jinyu rolled her eyes at Bai Tianqi. "It’s just the three of us. What’s wrong with me asking Xixi a simple question?"

Bai Weixi didn’t understand what her mother was getting at. She hadn’t even made her relationship with Li Yuan official when he bought this apartment. She explained, "Mom, I only started dating Li Yuan after I began university, and he purchased this place before the semester started."

Yang Jinyu understood. Although slightly disappointed, she didn’t say much more. The fact that Li Yuan could buy her daughter a sports car worth over 700,000 was proof enough of his sincerity. If only her daughter’s name had been added to the house deed, I would have been even more content...

Thinking about her daughter now living with Li Yuan, Yang Jinyu couldn’t help but offer a word of caution. "Sweetheart, Mom doesn’t oppose you being with Li Yuan, but you two haven’t graduated yet. You shouldn’t be so attached all the time; you need to maintain a proper distance."

"Living together now will inevitably lead to friction. If you argue, it will affect your relationship."

Bai Weixi flushed beet red. She clutched the hem of her clothes, her body trembling slightly as she explained in a barely audible whisper, "Mom, I know... I, I usually stay in the dorm."

"I only come over to stay for a couple of days on some weekends."

Yang Jinyu sighed inwardly. My precious daughter is perfect in every way—so obedient and well-behaved. She’s just a bit too sentimental, with a personality exactly like Bai Tianqi’s.

"Sweetheart, as long as you understand what’s important, that’s what matters. And remember, you must always take safety precautions."

Bai Weixi nodded shyly. After she and Li Yuan got together, they’d "played poker" so many times, and Li Yuan never wore...

"Let’s go down and check out your sports car."

In the underground parking garage, Bai Tianqi and Yang Jinyu instantly fell in love with the brand-new BMW Z4 sports car. They circled it, examining it from every angle and clicking their tongues in amazement.

Yang Jinyu sat in the driver’s seat, her hands tracing the steering wheel. She lowered the convertible top, imagining the thrill of going for a drive with the top down. "No wonder young people love sports cars these days," she mused aloud. "The design really is gorgeous."

Bai Weixi smiled and offered thoughtfully, "Mom, how about I take you for a spin?"

Yang Jinyu readily agreed. "Sure! I’ve never been in a sports car in my whole life. This time, I’ll get to ride on my precious daughter’s coattails and give it a try."

After speaking, she turned to Bai Tianqi. "Old Bai, the sports car only has two seats, so you wait for us at the community gate for a bit. After I’ve had my turn, I’ll have Xixi take you for a ride."

"Got it," Bai Tianqi said with an I-knew-it expression. "Xixi, drive slowly, and be careful not to hit anything."

Bai Weixi was actually quite nervous. When she drove the car back yesterday, Li Yuan had been by her side, which made her feel very secure. Now, with her mother, who couldn’t drive, sitting beside her, she was genuinely afraid.

After hesitating for a long while, Bai Weixi finally drove the car out of the parking garage, inching along at a snail’s pace.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Jinyu was thrilled by the looks they received from pedestrians and other vehicles. "Sweetheart, this sports car really turns heads! People are even secretly taking pictures of us."

"It’s just not very practical, though, since it only seats two people. Your dad has to wait for us at the gate."

Bai Weixi drove tensely and very slowly. Fortunately, since she was a great beauty driving a sports car, the other drivers didn’t honk wildly or curse at her. "Mom, I didn’t want to accept it at first, but Li Yuan insisted on buying it for me. Besides, something unusual happened when we bought it."

Bai Weixi found herself wanting to laugh as she remembered the scene at the car dealership yesterday. The expression and demeanor of that middle-aged man had been absolutely hilarious.

"Oh? What happened?" Yang Jinyu asked curiously.

Bai Weixi smiled and recounted the gist of the story. "Mom, it was like this..."

After listening, Yang Jinyu smiled, not at all surprised. Discrimination has always existed; it’s perfectly normal. I’ve even seen plenty of wealthy men keeping multiple mistresses.

Her shrewd mind paid close attention to her daughter’s description of Li Yuan’s style and capabilities. It’s true he’s very good to my precious daughter, but his personality sounds quite domineering—not the easygoing type. This made her a little worried, afraid her daughter might be mistreated in the future. Wealthy families have more rules, and their parents and relatives have much higher expectations for a daughter-in-law. Fortunately, my own daughter is beautiful and outstanding enough.

"Sweetheart, Li Yuan spent nearly two million just on cars yesterday," Yang Jinyu said. "What does his family do? Do you really not know anything at all?"

Bai Weixi hesitated and glanced at her mother before explaining in a low voice, "Mom, I think Li Yuan earned all that money himself. I saw his parents from a distance once, during the college entrance exams. I asked Li Yuan about them a few days ago, and he told me his aunt and uncle went back to their hometown to build a house."

When Yang Jinyu heard that Li Yuan had earned all the money himself, she was astounded and simply couldn’t believe it. "Xixi, Li Yuan is about the same age as you, isn’t he? How could he possibly have earned several million? Just this apartment and two BMWs must be worth four or five million, right?"

With a smile, Bai Weixi explained Li Yuan’s astonishing story. "Mom, Li Yuan wrote a web novel during the summer vacation, and it got really popular online. He made a lot of money from it..."

Listening to Bai Weixi’s explanation, Yang Jinyu’s eyes went wide, her face a mask of dumbstruck disbelief.

I thought my daughter’s boyfriend was just some second-generation heir, but I never imagined he would be a self-made, first-generation millionaire! And a web novelist who made his fortune through his own talent, no less. Compared to a simple heir, he’s on a completely different level; his standing in my eyes has completely changed. After all, a man who builds his own fortune deserves far more admiration and respect than someone who just relies on his parents. They’re not in the same league at all.

Yang Jinyu was extremely pleased with her prospective son-in-law. A resolute idea formed in her mind, and she looked at Bai Weixi, saying seriously, "Sweetheart, this Li Yuan is really quite something. Tell him that your father and I would like to meet him."

"Mom, why do you want to see Li Yuan?" Bai Weixi asked, caught off guard. "This is a bit sudden."

Yang Jinyu chuckled. "What’s so sudden about it? As your mother, am I not allowed to meet my future son-in-law?"

"Uh... okay, then." Bai Weixi nodded shyly. She also wanted her other half to receive her parents’ approval. If that happened, there would be no more obstacles to their relationship.

"Mom, I’ll give Li Yuan a call in a bit and ask if he can make it back."

「Meanwhile」

After discussing the new Porsche 911 and giving Zhong Tingyue a short driving lesson, Li Yuan was in a department store’s underground garage, playing "poker" with her in the newly acquired sports car.

Little Moon was a fatally alluring little succubus, her body as flexible as if she were boneless. Even in the cramped space of the sports car, she could manage all sorts of different "poker" moves. Little Moon’s poker skills were clumsy at first, but with Li Yuan’s guidance, she quickly unlocked a variety of new techniques. In a short time, she was able to go toe-to-toe with him.

If it weren’t for his battle-hardened experience and the greatly enhanced physique from his rebirth, he truly might not have been a match for this charming little temptress. After several rounds of poker since last night, Li Yuan could now easily handle Little Moon.

Taking a restroom break, Li Yuan glanced at his phone and realized that Bai Weixi had called him several times and sent a flood of messages.

*Honey, answer the phone. There’s something I want to ask your opinion about.*

*Honey, are you busy again? Why aren’t you answering my calls or messages?*

*Honey, I have to tell you something. My parents came to Modu today. They found out about us and want to meet you.*

*Honey, please call me back as soon as you see this. I’m taking my parents for a walk around campus for now. If you’re free tonight, they want to have dinner with you.*

As Li Yuan scrolled through the messages from Bai Weixi, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The news was simply too shocking.

What the hell? Bai Weixi’s parents want to meet me? Don’t tell me they found out I slept with their precious daughter?! This is an emergency! My future father-in-law knows I slept with his precious daughter and wants to meet me! What should I do? Am I going to get stabbed?
