After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: In Front of a Maybach and a G-Wagen, an X7 is a Total Scrub

TL: YYang

The waiter’s sudden words stunned everyone present.

‘The second brother’s family didn’t just buy a Maybach, but also a G-Wagen?’

‘These two cars together must cost 6 million, right?’

Shen Yaode suspected he had misheard and refused to believe it was true.

But the waiter had already come over to say so, and the Maybach car key was right there on the table. How could it be fake?

6 million was a number he could never hope to reach. His car wash business made at most 400,000 a year.

If he could make 6 million a year, his tail would be up in the sky. Would he still need to grovel and beg Shen Yong to get a membership?

But that was ultimately impossible, because this 6 million was equivalent to 14 years of his work, and that was without eating, drinking, or spending anything for 14 years.

Only then did Shen Yaode realize that the second brother’s family had taken off, and not just taken off, but flown straight to the sky.

He immediately saw this as a huge business opportunity, because if both cars got memberships at his place, he could make a lot of money!

“Cousin, congratulations, congratulations! You are the real winner in life!”

Shen Yaode immediately started sucking up to Shen Heping. A BMW X7 was a total scrub in front of a Maybach, and Shen Yong wasn’t getting a membership anyway.

“It’s just a car, not worth mentioning.”

Shen Heping waved his hand humbly. It wasn’t that he was being modest; that was just his personality.

He was also forced to show off. If it weren’t for his son’s encouragement, he wouldn’t have taken out the car key at all.

But he could finally understand why so many people loved to show off in front of others, because it felt really good!

“A new car needs good maintenance too. Come to my place and get a membership card. Car wash, ceramic coating, polishing, waxing, and film application—I’ll give you a 30% discount on everything.”

Shen Yaode didn’t even change his lines, showing a fawning smile while handing over a He Tianxia cigarette.

Li Hongjuan rolled her eyes. She didn’t know how Shen Yaode had the nerve to say this. He had shown no regard for their past relationship and had come to collect debts time and time again. Now that their family was rich, he was coming over to sell memberships?

‘Has he no shame?’

Shen Heping took the cigarette but didn’t light it. He said with a chuckle, “We’ll see. The 4S dealership gave us free ceramic coating, car washes, and film application.”

“As for the cigarettes, we old folks will go outside to smoke later. My daughter can’t stand the smell of smoke.”

Shen Yaode smiled awkwardly and had to put down the lighter he had just picked up. He just hadn’t expected that he would use the old lines, and Shen Heping would also use Shen Yong’s lines.

In the end, it was all the fault of the 4S dealership.

‘Damn it, why are you giving away so many freebies? It’s making it hard for us outside businesses to survive!’

Shen Yaode cursed a few times in his heart. After thinking about it, he was still unwilling to give up. After all, it was a big order for two luxury cars. After a moment’s thought, he said with a smile, “To be honest, the craftsmanship at the 4S dealership is average, and their car washes aren’t very clean. Actually…”

Shen Yaode hadn’t even finished speaking when he was poked in the waist by He Juying next to him.

He Juying was now staring at Shen Yaode with a dark expression.

She felt that her husband’s brain must be broken. To beg someone so humbly in front of so many people, had he no shame?

And he had already been rejected once, yet he still persisted.

Their son, Dongdong, was watching right next to them.

What’s more, they had made such a scene when they came to collect the debt before. Now that they saw that the other family was rich, they started to suck up to them.

She didn’t even know how Shen Yaode had the nerve to say it. As his wife, she felt embarrassed just sitting next to him.

Shen Yaode sighed and had to give up. He knew what his wife was thinking, but business was tough right now, and he had no choice.

As for face?

‘What’s the use of that when you’re doing business?’

He now regretted it very much. He shouldn’t have listened to He Juying and repeatedly gone to collect the debt. Otherwise, based on their old friendship, Shen Heping would have at least given his car wash some business.

‘Sigh, women are just short-sighted.’

During this process, Shen Yong had been silent. His face was now a little ugly.

In fact, he was the one who was hit the hardest here.

He had thought that his million-yuan BMW X7 would be a showstopper here, but he was stunned by two 3-million-yuan luxury cars.

He could never have imagined that the second brother’s family had become so wealthy.

6 million could buy 6 BMW X7s. And he had actually taken out an X7 to show off. This was so embarrassing that it would make his ancestors turn in their graves.

More importantly, the second brother had never intended to show off from the beginning. If it weren’t for his nephew Shen Yuan’s words, the second brother wouldn’t have even put the Maybach car key on the table.

In comparison, he really looked like a loser.

But speaking of this nephew, Shen Yong was even more furious. So he had been so cooperative as a hype man just now just to slap him hard in the face, right?

‘Fine, fine, you’ve succeeded now.’

‘This is so damn frustrating. I have a bellyful of anger and nowhere to vent it!’

“Heping, did Shen Yuan buy the car for you? How did he make so much money now?”

The eldest uncle, Shen Jianwei, couldn’t help but ask.

His family had a good relationship with Shen Heping’s family, especially since the two brothers had similar personalities.

So, seeing Shen Heping’s family become wealthy, Shen Jianwei didn’t have the same mentality as Shen Yaode and Shen Yong. He was just a little curious.

“He’s trading BT Coin and foreign exchange on his own. He’s made a lot,” Shen Heping replied with a smile.

The eldest aunt smiled with relief upon hearing this. “Shen Yuan is a good kid with a good head on his shoulders. I just didn’t expect him to make so much money before even graduating from college.”

“Yeah,” Shen Jianwei couldn’t help but nod.

Shen Heping smiled and didn’t continue this topic. He then greeted everyone again. “Come, big brother, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s have a couple more drinks.”

“Come, Yaode, A-Yong, let’s drink together.”

Shen Yaode and Shen Yong were stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up with their wine glasses.

Now everyone had come to a conclusion. The richest person in the small family was still Shen Heping, and this position was unshakable.

Although it was his son who was rich now, the father and son were like one entity. It didn’t matter who it was.

Zheng Feng, next to Shen Yong, had been sullen all this time. Unlike Shen Yong, who was in business outside, her mood was written all over her face.

Her mood now was as disgusting as if she had eaten a fly.

She had always been suppressed by their family, and she had been looking forward to seeing her husband show off in front of them.

‘Heh, and what happened?’

‘He got pissed on instead.’

No wonder she had felt that something was off when Shen Yuan was acting as a hype man just now. So this was what they were waiting for.

This was hilarious. It made their family look like three big monkeys at the table.

‘And I was just laughing at their son for being a prodigal son.’

‘But in reality?’

‘He hasn’t even graduated from college, and he’s already made so much money. Not only did he buy a luxury car for himself, but he also bought one for his own father.’

Thinking of this, Zheng Feng lost her appetite looking at the table full of food.

‘What’s the point of eating!’

At this table, some were happy and some were sad. Li Hongjuan’s appetite was very good. She had a faint smile on her face and would occasionally put food on Shen Xuan’s plate.

Shen Yong’s and Shen Yaode’s families at the table had said a lot of bad things about their family behind their backs, and Shen Yong had even been showing off his car just now.

But now, they didn’t dare to say a word.

This feeling of vindication was so comfortable!

When Shen Yuan returned to the private room after moving the car, he found that everyone’s expressions and moods had changed, especially those of his two aunts, He Juying and Zheng Feng.

Apparently, the pissing contest just now had woken them up.

There was nothing to be proud of for showing off in front of relatives, but these two families had gone too far.

Old Shen, out of consideration for their old friendship, had been sincere to them and would help them in times of difficulty.

But what about them?

They were like ingrates.

Otherwise, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have encouraged Old Shen to show off.

Shen Yuan ate a few bites of food to fill his stomach. His WeChat suddenly chimed. Shen Yuan opened it and saw that it was a message from Shen Xuan.

“Brother, you’re awesome! /emoji.smirk/”

Shen Yuan looked over at Shen Xuan, and the girl gave him an appreciative smile.

So Shen Xuan had also been watching the show. She couldn’t get involved in such “adult” matters, but seeing that her parents were in a good mood, she also felt happy.

Of course, all this was thanks to her older brother.

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word. He turned the lazy Susan on the table, preparing to get a shrimp, but unexpectedly, Shen Yaode’s son, Dongdong, pressed it down with dissatisfaction, turned it in the opposite direction, and reached for the spicy chicken.

One piece was not enough. He kept taking five or six pieces until his bowl was full, and after he was done, he even glared at Shen Yuan.

Dongdong was currently in the first year of middle school, chubby and well-fed by Shen Yaode and He Juying.

Of course, even if Shen Yuan didn’t like this uncle and aunt, he wouldn’t blame this brat.

It was understandable for a child of this age to be mischievous.

During the meal, the topic somehow turned to the eldest uncle’s son. Shen Heping said with a smile, “Currently, among our Shen family, only Shen Wei is in politics. He’s a rare seedling. In the future, when Shen Wei gets promoted, we’ll all have to rely on him.”

The eldest uncle, Shen Jianwei, waved his hand humbly. “He’s just a deputy captain of a police station. His potential is limited.”

“He’s only 30. There’s still a lot of room for growth.”

Shen Heping continued to praise him. Shen Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Why isn’t Cousin Wei here today?”

Shen Jianwei replied, “He’s on duty today and can’t leave.”

Shen Heping nodded. “I know about that. He called me this morning to wish me a happy birthday and specifically explained it.”

“Then Cousin Wei probably hasn’t eaten yet. I’ll order two more dishes and have them packed for him.” Shen Yuan suggested.

Among his cousins, only his eldest cousin, Shen Wei, had a good relationship with him. Besides the normal exchanges between their two families during holidays, they would also chat on WeChat or by phone sometimes.

The eldest aunt said with some embarrassment, “There’s no need to trouble you. He can eat at the station.”

“It’s fine. It’s what I should do.”

Li Hongjuan said with a smile, “Shen Yuan, you go order. I remember your cousin likes blood duck and pork knuckles.”

“Alright.”

Shen Yuan stood up to call the waiter. Seeing this, the eldest aunt and Shen Jianwei didn’t say anything more.

After they had eaten enough, Shen Yuan was about to leave with the takeout bag when Shen Xuan suddenly stood up and said, “Brother, I’ll go with you. I haven’t seen Cousin Wei in a long time either.”

“Sure.”

“Me too! I want to go too!”

The little fatty, Dongdong, wiped his mouth with his hand and also stood up.

Shen Yaode had no objection. Shen Yuan was so rich now, letting his son Dongdong spend more time with him might be beneficial in the future.

Shen Xuan looked at Shen Yuan. She had no objection; it was mainly up to her brother.

Shen Yuan definitely didn’t want to take him. If he were a likable child, it would be fine, but he was a brat.

But he couldn’t be too direct either, so he said, “Alright, but we’ll be back late. After delivering the food, we have to go to my friend’s pub for a while.”

“You’re going drinking too?”

He Juying was a little surprised. She had thought they would be back right after delivering the food.

Shen Yuan said seriously, “Not necessarily drinking. My friend has a pub opening, and I’m going to show my support.”

“Then forget it.”

He Juying immediately disagreed.

Dongdong was still too young to go to such a place.

As Shen Yuan and Shen Xuan walked out the door, they could still hear Dongdong’s crying and his mother’s scolding.

“You’re only in the first year of middle school, and you want to go to a place like a pub? Your older brother and sister can only go because they’re in college. You stay at home and be good!”

Shen Xuan was a little confused. As they reached the door, she asked, “Brother, are you really going to a pub?”

Shen Yuan shook his head. “No, I just didn’t want to take him. It’s a good opportunity for his mom to argue with him.”

Shen Xuan covered her mouth and laughed. “Brother, you’re so mean. You can even think of such a trick.”

Shen Yuan waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

Shen Xuan then said, “You’re so good at tricking people. You must have tricked a lot of girls, right? When are you going to bring a sister-in-law back for me?”

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself, ‘I use the excuse of buying you a birthday gift to pick up girls. Of course I’ve tricked a lot of them.’
