I Care

On the highway leading to Haicheng, a sleek Bentley Bentayga cruised smoothly in the fast lane.

Su Yang held the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Pan Ning was leaning back in the passenger seat, taking a nap.

"How did you sleep last night?" Su Yang asked.

"Not bad."

"By the way, what do you think of my parents?"

"They're great, I like them~"

Su Yang chuckled, "Hehe, that's good, that's good. They like you too."

"That's why I showed that side of myself. I know my own personality very well. If I showed them my usual, true self, it would be hard for them to accept. People who aren't familiar with me wouldn't like that kind of personality, especially the older generation."

Su Yang reached out and patted Pan Ning's shoulder. "Actually, my parents don't care about that."

"I care," Pan Ning said softly. "I wanted to leave a good impression on them."

"Fair enough, but are you going to keep switching personalities every time you see them from now on?"

"Sure, why not. It's not hard for me, as long as I don't have to be like that all the time."

"Alright then."

"Oh, by the way, your mom gave me this while you were in the restroom."

As she spoke, Pan Ning pulled out a large red envelope, slightly smaller than an A4 sheet of paper, from her bag.

Su Yang turned to look and was momentarily stunned. The red envelope was large and thick; it had to contain at least tens of thousands of yuan.

"Money?"

"Duh, what else could it be?"

"Did you open it? How much is in there?"

"I didn't look. I didn't even want to take it, but your mom insisted, saying it was a meeting gift, so I accepted it."

Su Yang laughed, "You had to take it. Even if it's not a lot of money, it's the thought that counts from my mom."

"I know, which is why I was very touched~" Pan Ning smiled and put the red envelope back into her bag.

Su Yang turned his gaze back to the road and smiled silently.

This trip home had been smooth, warm, and perfect.

[Ding, detected that the host is currently feeling comfortable, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoying the moment. Rewarding 5,000,000 yuan.]

Su Yang, who was basking in that subtle state of contentment, was interrupted by the system's voice.

He turned to Pan Ning and asked, "Where do you want to go later?"

"I'm heading home. My mom is insisting I go back and tell her all about the trip to your place."

"Haha, alright, I'll drop you off."

"No need. Once we get to the city, you can go do your thing, and I'll just take a cab."

"I don't have anything to do, though?"

"Weren't you going to look at houses?"

"Oh, right. But there's no rush. I'll take you home first."

"Alright then, you can take me home."

"By the way, my car is still at your place. Actually, never mind, just leave it there. It's all the same anyway."

"Sure~ Give me the keys then, I'll take your car for a spin later."

Pan Ning took the car keys from her bag and handed them to Su Yang.

Soon, the two arrived back in Haicheng, and Su Yang dropped Pan Ning off outside the gates of Chenxi Mansion.

"I won't go in. Say hi to Uncle Pan and Aunt Meng for me~"

"I know, get going~"

"Will do. Bye."

Vroom—

Pan Ning watched Su Yang drive away before turning and walking into the villa complex.

At 1:00 PM, Su Yang drove back to his own home.

He rested for a bit and then used his phone to look up the major luxury flat developments in Haicheng.

He finally settled on a development in the Yonghe District called Four Seasons Cloud Court.

This development was very famous in Haicheng, consisting of five buildings, all of which were large luxury flats.

The project had been completed for two years. Like Senhai Manor, they were fully furnished with top-tier luxury fittings, meaning one could move in shortly after paying without waiting too long.

Even the underground parking garage was fully decorated and extremely luxurious.

Of course, the prices here were much higher than at Senhai Manor. With an average price of sixty thousand yuan per square meter, it was among the most expensive real estate in Haicheng.

Su Yang checked the details: the smallest layout at Four Seasons Cloud Court was 321 square meters, and the largest was 826 square meters.

The best-selling units were those around four to five hundred square meters.

From what he could see, the relatively smaller three-to-four-hundred square meter units were basically sold out, but there were still a few dozen of the larger units available.

Su Yang muttered to himself, "This place isn't bad. I'll go with this one. I'll head over and take a look later."

He turned on the coffee machine for a while, then got up, made a cup of coffee, and poured it into a clear, specialized takeout cup.

Then, grabbing the keys to the Lamborghini, he walked out the front door and into the front yard.

He pulled the car door open and got in. He had never actually driven the Lamborghini before.

Today, he was going to properly experience it.

Soon, the car pulled out of the villa. Su Yang checked the navigation; Four Seasons Cloud Court was only 5.5 kilometers away from his current residence at Jingyu Terrace.

Following the GPS, he quickly arrived at the sales office.

The sales office for Four Seasons Cloud Court was built with great luxury, primarily featuring a grey-gold color scheme, with a large parking lot out front.

The five high-rise buildings formed a curved line behind the sales office, built almost directly along the Tianxing River—true river-view luxury homes.

Su Yang nodded and smiled. "Really nice. Another wealthy neighborhood~"

Saying that, he drove the car to the parking lot on the right side of the sales office and parked.

Various luxury cars were parked in the lot, likely belonging to wealthy people who were also there to look at houses.

The moment Su Yang stepped out of his car, a man in a suit quickly walked up to greet him.

"Good afternoon, boss. Are you here to look at properties at Four Seasons Cloud Court?"

Su Yang nodded with a smile. "Yeah, just taking a look around."

"Great. How should I address you, boss?"

"My surname is Su. Su Yang."

"Understood, President Su. My surname is Zhang, first name Sheng. You can just call me Little Zhang."

Su Yang looked at Little Zhang and said, "Why do I feel like you're older than me~"

"Hehe, I'm actually not that old. I just look a bit mature for my age."

Su Yang chuckled. "Alright then, let's go. Let's take a look inside."

"Right this way, President Su, please~" Little Zhang led Su Yang into the sales office.

With Little Zhang's introduction, Su Yang narrowed it down to two layouts.

One was 764 square meters, and the other was the largest 826-square-meter unit.

He visited the physical model homes for both layouts and ultimately crossed the 764-square-meter one off his list.

Although the difference in area between the two wasn't huge, and both were priced at sixty-five thousand per square meter, after seeing them, he felt the 826-square-meter unit would be more comfortable.

At 4:00 PM, including the cost of three parking spaces, Su Yang paid over fifty-four million yuan in full.

He had originally planned to just put down a deposit and then bring his parents over to look at it in a couple of days before buying. But thinking about how they would probably nag him endlessly if they came, he decided to just pay for it outright.

However, doing it this way meant the house would be registered under his own name.

But it didn't really matter. Since his parents were the ones who would be living there, it was all the same regardless of whose name it was under.

After all the home-buying procedures were completed, the system's notification chime rang right on cue.

[Ding. Detected that the host is feeling pleased after buying a house for his parents. Rewarding 15,000,000 yuan.]

"Not bad, not bad at all. Saved fifteen million. Nice."

With the house sorted smoothly, Su Yang added the property manager's contact information and drove away.

Next was just waiting for the notice. Once it was ready for move-in, he could come over to pick up the miscellaneous items and the keys, and then bring his parents over, and that would be it.

Now that his business was finished, for a moment, Su Yang didn't know what to do next.

Meng Wenzhou hadn't contacted him about the money transfer yet. It was still early, and he wasn't feeling hungry either.

Sitting in his car, Su Yang pondered for a moment before snapping his fingers.

"I know! I'll go hang out at the coffee shop~"

No sooner said than done. He started the engine and quickly drove out of the sales center.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at Jiang Mengyun's coffee shop.

Wait, no. To be exact, it was his and Jiang Mengyun's coffee shop.

After leaving his vehicle in a nearby parking lot, Su Yang walked briskly to the entrance and pushed the door open.

However, the moment he stepped inside, he locked eyes with a girl sitting at a table to his left.

It wasn't Jiang Mengyun, nor was it Li Muhan.

Su Yang froze for a second, and the girl seemed momentarily stunned as well. But she quickly stood up, flashing a bright smile as she called out, "Brother Su Yang!!"

"Lingxi?"
