"Oh~" Su Chen’s spirits instantly deflated.
After taking stock of the New Year’s goods, Chen Shufen clapped her hands in satisfaction. "This should be enough for all our relatives. We don’t need to buy anything else."
With that, she glanced at Su Chen, who was lounging on the sofa, and said, "I’m heading to the card room downstairs to play mahjong. If I’m back late, make your own food!"
"Huh?" Su Chen immediately sat up on the sofa, his eyes wide. He looked at Chen Shufen and said, "You’re going out to play mahjong?"
"What else? I was just about to leave when you happened to come back!" With that, she headed for the door.
With the THUD of the closing door, Su Chen shook his head helplessly.
His mom didn’t have many other hobbies, just playing a bit of mahjong and gossiping with the neighbors.
’Well~ I’m all alone again!’ Su Chen couldn’t sit still at home either. He decided to go for a stroll and see how Fuzhou had changed in recent years.
He hadn’t had a good look around since he got back, so this was the perfect time to wander about before the New Year.
He was a man of action. He’d originally planned to take the car for a spin, but after searching everywhere, he couldn’t find his dad’s Volkswagen keys. He even made a special call to Chen Shufen, only to find out his dad had driven the car to the main city.
’Maybe I should buy a car?’ It wasn’t that Su Chen had money to burn, but he considered that the New Year was just around the corner. He would definitely have to run errands and buy things for the holiday. He had no idea when his dad would be back, and he couldn’t just take taxis everywhere, could he? How inconvenient would that be!
Su Chen wasn’t the type to dilly-dally. Once his mind was made up, he grabbed his phone and keys and headed out the door.
This time, he didn’t go to the Volkswagen dealership. The main reason was that he was used to luxury cars, and ordinary vehicles just didn’t feel comfortable to him anymore.
He hailed a taxi on the street and headed straight for the Mercedes-Benz dealership.
What could he do? Fuzhou was a third-tier city, after all. Of the most famous luxury brands—BMW, Benz, and Audi—it only had a single Mercedes-Benz dealership. The other two were basically absent, or you’d have to go through a reseller, which meant waiting at least half a month for your car.
"Twelve yuan!"
Su Chen scanned the QR code handed over by the taxi driver, entered his password, and got out of the car, all in one smooth motion.
Just as he was about to walk into the Mercedes-Benz dealership, a Volkswagen Touareg pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down to reveal a young man in sunglasses. He was chubby, with a thick gold chain around his neck and a gold ring on the fat hand resting on the window frame.
The sight made the corner of Su Chen’s mouth twitch. ’Isn’t this the stereotypical minor villain from a novel?’
"I told you it was Su Chen, honey! And you didn’t believe me!"
