Settling? It was far more than settling—it was a pleasant surprise!
Luo Ning wasn’t very familiar with cars, and when she heard Mo Han ntion last night that the borrowed vehicle was an off-road car worth around 3 million, she thought it was quite ordinary.
But upon seeing this rcedes G63 before her, she was utterly shocked.
It was so commanding!
Driving this car on the road, the rate of turning heads would definitely not be lower than that of a supercar worth tens of millions.
Moreover, the most crucial aspect was its large rims and high chassis, which ant that even when driving to Xiao Hui’s place, there was no need to worry about speed bumps, muddy roads, or uneven surfaces.
Just then, her mother-in-law, Yang ifeng, ca out of the living room and happened to see the rcedes G parked outside.
Upon seeing the car, Yang ifeng was stunned.
When she saw Mo Han, Luo Ning, and Mo Xiaochen preparing to get into the car, she hurriedly rushed out, grabbed her daughter’s hand, and asked excitedly, "Ning’er, is this car a new purchase of yours?"
Yang ifeng knew that Luo Ning Studio had opened and seed to have received quite a few orders, presumably earning a fair amount of money, so she assud the car must have been purchased by her daughter.
"Mom, you’ve misunderstood; this isn’t my car, I can’t afford this one," Luo Ning said with a wry smile, "This car is worth more than 3 million."
"Didn’t I tell you the other day? I have a classmate who’s getting married and they need a dowry from the bride’s side, so I asked Mo Han to help borrow a car. This one was borrowed by Mo Han from a friend," she explained.
"Borrowed? It’s not ours?"
Upon hearing this, Yang ifeng felt a tinge of disappointnt. Suddenly, her eyes glead as she chuckled slyly, "Mo Han, next ti you do a Feng Shui reading for soone, just let them give you a car."
"Mom isn’t asking for much, just sothing similar to this one."
Sothing similar? Luo Ning felt like she was going to cough up blood. A rcedes G63 worth more than 3 million—who would give away such an expensive car for a Feng Shui reading?
Thinking of her mother-in-law’s relentless nature, Mo Han considered it and then replied, "Mom, aren’t you making it hard for ?"
"This car is too costly, and I really can’t brazenly ask soone for it."
"Besides, although this car is great, the ongoing costs are too high. Just the insurance alone costs at least 300,000 a year, and you have to go to the dealership for maintenance, easily spending several thousand to tens of thousands each ti."
"And if by chance it gets scratched on the road, just fixing the paint will cost fifty to sixty thousand."
"Also, this car is famously fuel-thirsty. It’s alright on the highway, but in the city, it uses at least 15 liters of fuel, and in traffic jams, over 20 liters, which ans spending at least 100,000 a year just on fuel."
As expected, when Yang ifeng heard how much the ongoing expenses were and that they were all calculated in tens of thousands, she swallowed hard and shook her head, "Forget it, we might have the money to buy it, but we don’t have the money to maintain it."
"Right, mom, it’s getting late; we should get going."
Luo Ning nodded, "We’re likely going to stay overnight there today and co back tomorrow."
...
He Xiaohui’s ho was in Lu County, Jiangnan City, around 310 kiloters from Jiangling City, and driving there took at least three hours.
Although Luo Ning could drive, the prospect of driving for such a long distance was really daunting for her.
Plus, she normally drove the family "Porsche Taycan," and she had never driven the rcedes G63, so she felt a bit scared inside.
Thus, the driving was left to Mo Han all the way.
Along the way, Mo Han drove the car, singing songs with his wife and daughter, chatting, and the ti passed quite quickly.
Around eleven o’clock, following the navigation, Mo Han finally arrived at He Xiaohui’s place.
"Ning’er, this is it, right?"
Mo Han parked the car by the roadside, stuck out half his head, and pointed to a worn-out sign across the road.
Luo Ning also rolled down her window at this ti, took a careful look at the old sign, and nodded, "That’s right! Xiao Hui said she lives in Huayuan Community."
"Hm."
Mo Han made an acknowledgnt, "Ning’er, you and Chen Chen get out first, I’ll go park the car."
After they got out, he stepped on the gas and directly drove onto a pedestrian path about thirty to forty centiters high next to them.
The rcedes G was already a rarity in Jiangnan City, let alone in a small place like Lu County, and with Mo Han’s gas pedal stomp, the car let out a trendous roar.
The passersby and small street vendors around all looked on with mixed feelings of envy and resentnt.
"Damn, it actually is a big G, seriously rich!"
"Just one look and you know it’s a second generation rich kid, damn it, why didn’t I get a good dad."
"Look at the license plate, it’s not from around here, could it be so relative’s car? I heard that He Lao Liu’s family is marrying off their daughter, could it be their relatives?"
"He Lao Liu’s relatives? That’s nonsense! With their situation, having such wealthy relatives? If they really did, wouldn’t they have co forward eagerly to greet them?"
The crowd discussed among themselves, each voicing their speculations.
Luo Ning felt that it was inappropriate to visit soone’s ho empty-handed, so she bought so fruits from the roadside.
Mo Han took the fruit, one hand holding his daughter’s hand, and walked into the alley leading to the Huayuan Community where He Xiaohui lived.
The entrance to the alley was very narrow with two green trash cans on the left hand side and several tricycles and electric bikes parked, barely allowing one car to enter or exit.
"Mo Han, it was far-sighted of you to park the car up there; if not, it would be difficult to get in here!" Luo Ning said with a laugh.
"It wasn’t my foresight, "
Mo Han smiled faintly and replied, "The county town where I grew up was just like this, with no real planning. Sellers of vegetables, clothes, socks, and the like, they all like to crowd by the roadside. It’s quite troubleso to drive through."
As Luo Ning thought of Mo Han’s hotown, sothing seed to cross her mind, "Mo Han, let’s find ti to visit godmother, shall we?"
"Hmm."
Mo Han nodded and thought of his godmother Ming Cuilian. He sighed, rembering that he had called her not long ago, wanting her to co live with them at Polaris One, but she said she was used to living in the old district and didn’t want to move.
He knew those were all excuses; the godmother was aware of his mother-in-law, Yang ifeng’s character.
If she really moved in, Yang ifeng would probably find a reason to hassle her every other day.
Never mind, he thought, when they returned, he would buy another apartnt in Polaris Community for the godmother to live in, so at least she would have soone to look after her.
