Just an Ordinary Young Person

Hearing this, Su Yang immediately understood.

He shook his head, smiled, and looked at the two of them. "I was wondering why you guys were acting so weird. So this is what you've been thinking about all along. Don't overthink it. She's just a friend. Didn't I buy a motorcycle? But I was already driving a car, so I asked her to help me drive the car back while I rode the motorcycle myself. It's that simple."

"Really?" Chen Liping asked to confirm.

"Yes, why would I lie to you!"

"That makes more sense. I was thinking, it's only been a few days and you've already gotten a new girlfriend."

Su Yang put his arm around Chen Liping's shoulder and chuckled, "Mom, she really is just my friend. If you don't believe me, you can ask Pan Pan. She was actually the one who told me to ask Yixue for help."

"Alright, since it's a misunderstanding, we won't talk about it anymore. Weren't you going to drop her off? Hurry up and go."

"Okay, you guys go inside and take a seat first."

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Su Dagang and Chen Liping finally looked toward the yard. With one glance, the two of them were frozen in place again.

"What's wrong with you guys now?"

"Th-th-these cars..." Su Dagang stammered, pointing at the several top-tier supercars not far ahead.

"They're all mine."

"All of... holy crap, just how many cars did you buy, kid?" Su Dagang exclaimed in shock.

"Not that many, just seven or eight."

"Seven..."

"Oh Mom and Dad, don't be so surprised. Didn't I tell you about this in advance? Why are you still so shocked?"

"I won't talk to you guys right now. The door is unlocked, so go inside and sit down. I'm going to drop Yixue off."

"Okay, okay, you go ahead," the two said as they looked up to admire the luxurious large villa.

Su Yang nodded, walked over to the Cullinan, pulled the door open, got in, and drove the car out of the yard.

Shen Yixue was standing at the gate, playing with the dog.

Su Yang drove up next to her and stopped. "Get in, Yixue."

"Okay," she replied, hugging Black Dragon as she got into the passenger seat.

The car soon drove out of the villa area. Inside, Shen Yixue turned to look at Su Yang and smiled. "Did your parents think I was your new girlfriend just now?"

Su Yang gave a helpless smile. "You could tell?"

"Of course. As soon as I saw the expressions on their faces when they looked at me, I guessed it."

"Haha, that's why they were stunned when you greeted them."

"It's normal. If it were me, I'd probably overthink it too. Did you explain it to them?"

Su Yang nodded. "Yeah, I explained it."

"That's good."

The two chatted idly, and it wasn't long before they arrived at Fuyun Avenue. Although this area also belonged to the Yonghe District, it wasn't within the downtown limits.

There weren't many high-rise buildings around; they were mostly villas. The residences in this vicinity were considered one of the earliest affluent neighborhoods in Haicheng.

Following Shen Yixue's directions, Su Yang drove the car to the entrance of a villa community called Emerald Bamboo Gardens.

This villa community had been built over ten years ago, and there were only twelve European-style single-family villas in the entire neighborhood.

Back when it first opened, it was quickly snapped up by the wealthy, and it supposedly set the record for the fastest sell-out of a villa community in Haicheng.

Furthermore, the unit price of Emerald Bamboo Gardens at that time also broke the record for the highest property prices in Haicheng, and it was once known as the number one luxury residential area in the city.

Being able to buy a villa here back then was enough to show that Shen Yixue's parents were far from ordinary.

As the car arrived at the entrance of the villa community, Shen Yixue tilted her head and smiled. "Su Yang, just park here. You don't need to drive me inside."

"Is it far from the gate to your house?"

"Not far, just a short walk. I can walk in by myself."

"Alright, then I won't go in."

"Mhm, thanks! Let's get Pan Pan and the others together to hang out another day."

"Okay, see you another day."

"Okay, bye-bye," Shen Yixue said, opening the door and getting out.

Just as she got out, a black Bentley Mulsanne drove over from the intersection.

Beep beep.

The Bentley Mulsanne honked at the Cullinan by the gate. Su Yang looked in the rearview mirror and muttered to himself, "Honk your sister, I'm not even blocking you."

Hearing the honk, Shen Yixue turned her head, immediately broke into a smile, and waved at the approaching car, shouting, "Dad~"

"Dad?" Hearing her shout, Su Yang looked in the rearview mirror again.

"Holy crap, could this be Yixue's dad's car?"

As he spoke, the Mulsanne slowly pulled up to the right side of the Cullinan.

Su Yang tilted his head to look and saw a man in his thirties or forties sitting in the driver's seat, though this person was likely the chauffeur.

The car moved forward a bit more, and Su Yang looked at the back seat. Sure enough, sitting in the back was a middle-aged man around fifty wearing a white polo shirt. This man's aura was completely different; one look and you could tell he was a big boss.

"This must be Yixue's dad."

At this moment, Shen Yixue walked over to the rear window and said with a beaming smile, "Dad, where did you come from?"

"From the company, where else? Why are you standing at the gate instead of going inside?"

"A friend dropped me off. I just got out of the car."

"Oh?" Shen Yixue's dad tilted his head, looked at the Cullinan on the left, and smiled. "This car?"

"Mhm."

While the two were talking, Su Yang had already gotten out of his car and walked around. Wearing a polite smile, he greeted the middle-aged man inside the car, "Hello, Uncle. I'm Yixue's friend, Su Yang."

"Su Yang." Shen Yixue's dad looked the young man over and smiled. "I haven't heard Yixue mention you before. Did you two just meet?"

"Not exactly, we've known each other for a few months."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll call you Little Su."

"Alright, Uncle."

"Since you're a friend, don't just stand there. Come inside and sit for a bit," Yixue's dad invited with a smile.

Su Yang politely declined, "I won't stay, Uncle. I still have some things to take care of."

"That's right, Dad. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today, he has to go home to celebrate the holiday."

"Oh, right. Okay, then I won't insist. Come over and visit when you have time another day."

"Will do, Uncle."

"Just call me Uncle Kang."

"Alright, Uncle Kang. I'll definitely come visit when I'm free."

"Haha, alright. Yixue, get in."

"I'm leaving, Su Yang~" Shen Yixue opened the rear door and got in.

"Okay, bye-bye." Su Yang waved at Shen Yixue.

After watching the Bentley drive into the villa community, he finally turned around and headed home.

On the other side, inside the Bentley, Shen Yixue's dad, Shen Guokang, tilted his head to look at his daughter and laughed. "Why did you bring a dog back?"

"I picked it up~" Shen Yixue grinned.

"Picked it up?"

"Yeah, that Su Yang from just now found it. He doesn't know how to raise a dog, so I helped him adopt it."

"You really just love playing with these cats and dogs all day long." Shen Guokang shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe, I'm a girl after all. Girls just like these small animals."

Shen Guokang smiled quietly. He rolled his eyes thoughtfully and asked, "Did you really break up with that kid Ziming?"

"We broke up. Didn't I already tell you guys?"

Shen Guokang nodded. "Then that Little Su from just now... he couldn't be your new boyfriend, could he?"

"Huh?" Shen Yixue paused for a moment, then laughed. "Oh, no, he's just a platonic friend. Besides, he already has a girlfriend, and you even know her."

"He has a girlfriend? And I know her?"

"Yeah, it's Pan Pan."

"Pan Pan? Xiao Pan?"

"Yeah."

Hearing this, Shen Guokang looked up, pondered for a couple of seconds, and said, "He's actually Xiao Pan's boyfriend? What's this kid's background?"

"What do you mean, background? He's just an ordinary young man."
