Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 152: Freeloading to the End

Grandma Qi usually lived alone and didn’t want to be a bother to her children.

Qi Zhizhong would visit every few days, so she never felt too lonely.

On her way downstairs, she ran into two of her regular chatting companions—both elderly folks who also lived alone.

"Madam Qi, are you heading out?"

"My grandson brought his girlfriend home, so I have to go see them."

As he was her only grandson, she was incredibly eager to have great-grandchildren.

"How wonderful."

As the ladies walked out of the building entrance, their eyes were inevitably drawn to the Maybach parked by the door.

"Whoa, this car is gorgeous!"

"You bet. See? It’s a Mercedes emblem."

"That’s not right. My son has a Mercedes too, but I don’t think that’s the same emblem."

"You’re right. The emblem is a double M. I’ve never seen that before."

As the ladies chattered away, Qi Zhizhong pursed his lips, trying to hide a smile.

"Mom, why don’t you sit in the back? The rear seats are exceptionally comfortable—they’re airline-style first-class seats."

Qi Zhizhong opened the rear passenger door and helped Grandma Qi inside.

"Wow, this car is really something. The seats are even more comfortable than Minmin’s A8."

Grandma Qi settled into her seat, giving it extremely high praise.

"Well, of course. The A8 is only 1.3 million, but this car is 4 million."

Qi Zhizhong lifted his mother’s stiff legs into the car before replying with a casual smile.

"What?"

Grandma Qi thought her hearing was playing tricks on her.

"This car costs four million?"

"Mhm, this is a Maybach, not your average Mercedes."

Seeing the shocked expressions on the other ladies’ faces, Qi Zhizhong knew he might have been laying it on a bit thick.

"Ladies, we’ll be on our way now."

With that, Qi Zhizhong drove off in the Maybach.

The ladies were left standing there.

They watched until the Maybach’s taillights disappeared from view, the reality of the situation finally sinking in.

"The Old Qi Family has really made something of themselves. It’s a shame Old Qi isn’t here to see it."

Never mind a four-million-yuan Maybach.

Even a 400,000-yuan Mercedes E300 would be considered a luxury vehicle in a low-income housing complex like this.

Seeing Grandma Qi get picked up by her son.

How could her group of old friends, who chatted together every day, not feel a pang of envy?

...

Golden Family.

Qi Zhizhong steered the Maybach into the residential complex’s underground garage.

Despite her age, Grandma Qi was as sharp as a tack.

"Zhizhong, did you and Minmin buy this place?"

"Minmin and I could never afford this. Ah Sheng bought the house and the car after he came back."

Qi Zhizhong parked the car and helped Grandma Qi out.

"This garage is huge!"

Grandma Qi looked at the clean, bright garage before her; BMWs, Benzes, and Audis were a common sight.

But after a look around, it seemed their own Maybach still had the most commanding presence.

He helped his grandmother inside, intending to give her a tour.

"We can tour later. First, I want to see my future granddaughter-in-law."

Grandma Qi liked the big house, but she was even more fond of the future granddaughter-in-law who could give her great-grandchildren.

"Please, have a seat. I’ll go get her."

Qi Sheng helped his grandmother to the sofa, then went upstairs to get Tan Hua, who was on a group video call with her friends.

"You should stop chatting for a bit. My grandma’s here."

Qi Sheng glanced at the group video call; it looked like almost everyone was on.

When they heard that Qi Sheng’s grandmother wanted to meet Tan Hua, the other women on the call couldn’t have been more envious.

"Okay, I’ll talk to you guys later."

Tan Hua quickly left the group chat and rushed into the en-suite bathroom of their master bedroom.

She checked her makeup in the mirror.

Although Qi Sheng’s parents already approved of her, his grandmother’s attitude was crucial in solidifying her position as the future granddaughter-in-law.

Downstairs, a slightly timid Tan Hua followed Qi Sheng into the living room.

"Hello, Grandma. I’m Tan Hua."

"Oh my, what a beautiful girl. You’re as lovely as your name, like a beauty stepping out of a painting. You’re a perfect match for our Ah Sheng."

Grandma Qi’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Tan Hua.

She lovingly took Tan Hua’s hand, immensely pleased with her.

"Thank you, Grandma."

Tan Hua was thrilled; it was clear Grandma Qi was very happy with her.

"Huahua, this is a little something from Grandma. You must accept it."

Grandma Qi beckoned to Qi Zhizhong.
