If the confession fails, chase her bestie

In September, Li Yuan arranged for Xia Zhijin to take the driver's license test. When the two were together, he often taught her how to drive.

As a child who grew up in a mountainous area, Xia Zhijin learned and accepted driving skills very quickly.

After several systematic studies, you can basically drive with him.

Once you learn to drive, you can quickly take the test and get your driver's license.

Xia Zhijin tapped her chin and said with some uncertainty:

"It should be considered OK. I have already passed subjects one and two, and I am just missing subject three."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "After school, I will practice driving with you again. When you get your driver's license, I will buy you a car. It will be much more convenient to go to Sister Yanyan later."

Hearing that Li Yuan wanted to buy himself a car, Xia Zhijin waved her hand quickly:

“You don’t have to waste money, it’s very convenient to take a taxi.”

Li Yuan firmly grasped Xia Zhijin's little hand, placed it in his own palm, and scratched it gently.

"When it comes to buying a car, just listen to me. Xiaoyue and Xiaobai both have sports cars, so naturally you can't do without them."

Xia Zhijin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Li Yuan stopped her with his hand.

"If you have nothing to do these days, you can look at more cars and see which one you like. You can ask your roommate and cousin to help you reference it. Got it?"

"By the way, you don't have to consider the price, just decide which car you like."

Xia Zhijin glanced at Li Yuan and said obediently: "Yeah, I understand."

…

At noon, Li Yuan took Xia Zhijin home to meet his parents.

His father, Li Heng, had long known from Xia Qin that Li Yuan had several girlfriends and had seen photos of the three girls, so he was not too surprised.

He just told Li Yuan to treat others well and not to let down Xia Zhijin and the others.

Li Yuan naturally agreed.

Apart from being busy with company affairs and spending time writing novels every day, he tried his best to accompany them and take them to experience various things with their boyfriends.

Such as shopping, watching movies, attending concerts, visiting zoos, amusement parks, etc...

They have everything other girls have, and they have everything other girls don’t have...

…

night,

Li Yuan accompanied Zhong Tingyue again and met Gu Lanxin, the cheap mother-in-law.

Li Yuan still had a good impression of this cheap mother-in-law. If the other party hadn't assisted him many times, Zhong Tingyue wouldn't have forgiven him so quickly.

on the dinner table,

Listening to Li Yuan and Zhong Tingyue discussing the decoration of the new "Cha Yan Yue Se" store.

Gu Lanxin asked curiously:

"Xiao Li, is this "Cha Yan Yue Se" milk tea shop really opened by you and Xiao Yue?"

Li Yuan nodded with a smile and introduced: "Well, Xiao Yue and I opened it together. It has been open for more than a month. Xiao Yue is mainly responsible for the specific management, and I occasionally come up with ideas and directions."

"Auntie, you really gave birth to a good daughter. Little Moon is very talented in business. She made "Tea Beauty and Moonlight" crystal clear and vivid, and the results are very good."

"In the future, Little Moon may become a business tycoon!"

Listening to Li Yuan "praising" herself, Zhong Tingyue chuckled, her eyes turned into crescents, and she couldn't help but snicker.

"Mom, don't listen to Li Yuan's nonsense. I'm not as good as he said. It's all his credit that "Tea Beauty and Moonlight" can achieve this level. I'm just helping him with some chores..."

Listening to Zhong Tingyue's self-effacing words, Li Yuan immediately retorted with a smile: "Little Moon, you chose the name of our milk tea shop, right?"

"Yeah!" Zhong Tingyue replied.

Li Yuan added: "Product packaging, sales staff, product names, raw material purchase...etc., are you personally responsible for them, right?"

Zhong Tingyue listened to Li Yuan talking about his "great achievements" one by one, and the smile on his face became wider...

Li Yuan joked: "I just have an idea and some money. From now on, if our "Tea Beauty and Moonlight" can really be launched and become the number one milk tea brand in China, it all depends on you."

Zhong Tingyue smiled sweetly, blinked at Li Yuan with her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile: "Senior, your ideals are so lofty. Moreover, you have such great expectations for me, what if you can't do it in the future?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Be confident, you can do it, trust my vision."

Zhong Tingyue snorted: "I'm not that confident myself."

Gu Lanxin looked at Li Yuan and her daughter arguing, and then put down the worry in her heart.

…

At night, Jinxiu Villa.

Gu Lanxin took Zhong Tingyue's little hand and said one thing with a serious face.

"Little Moon, let me tell you something. Your dad seems to know that you are in love."

After listening to Gu Lanxin's words, Zhong Tingyue's body trembled suddenly, and some bad memories flashed through her mind. After a while, she regained her composure and answered in a cold voice:

"He knows it, and can he really run to the Magic City and take me back?"

Gu Lanxin sighed inwardly when she saw Zhong Tingyue's stubborn eyes and cold words.

He grabbed Zhong Tingyue's little hand, put it in his palm, and comforted him: "Little Moon, you don't have to worry too much. This is the Magic City, and he doesn't dare to go too far."

"If he really goes too far, the worst case scenario is that we will break up with him. From now on, the two of us will stay in the Magic City and never return to Sioux City."

Zhong Tingyue was slightly startled, staring at Gu Lanxin with complicated eyes. This was the first time that her mother was willing to stand by her side and support her.

Zhong Tingyue called out softly, and a few crystal tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.

"Mom!"

Gu Lanxin saw that Zhong Tingyue was so moved that she was about to cry. She smiled and looked at Zhong Tingyue, speaking sincerely, speaking from her heart.

"Little Moon, in the past, we had to rely on your father, but now we don't need it anymore. Mom has the confidence to say these words."

"You were born after ten months of pregnancy. If I don't feel sorry for you, who will I feel sorry for? How could I bear to watch you being pushed into the fire pit by your own father..."

Zhong Tingyue was moved to tears, hugged Gu Lanxin, and shouted with a choked voice: "Mom!"

Gu Lanxin touched Zhong Tingyue's soft hair and smiled:

"Silly girl, don't cry, your face will look ugly if you cry."

"Well! Don't cry!" Zhong Tingyue raised her head and nestled in her mother's arms.

Gu Lanxin said again: "By the way, Xiaoyueliang, Li Yuan said that this "Cha Yan Yue Se" milk tea shop was opened with you. Do you have a share in it?"

Zhong Tingyue asked in confusion: "Mom, why do you ask that?"

Gu Lanxin's eyes showed a trace of embarrassment, and she laughed and explained: "It's okay, I just asked casually."

After Zhong Tingyue asked, she looked at her mother's expression and knew what she was thinking.

As the "mistress" of her father, the man did not give her any other property except buying a house and a car in Sucheng for her mother and giving her some pocket money every month...

Of course, the man himself did not have much property.

From her current perspective, the Zhong family is not as powerful as she once imagined.

After all, how could a truly powerful family need to sacrifice its daughter to do that kind of thing?

Zhong Tingyue glanced at Gu Lanxin and explained:

"Mom, I own 10% of the shares in "Cha Yan Yue Se". Li Yuan wanted to give me more, but I refused."

Gu Lanxin asked puzzledly: "Why did you refuse? Isn't this a good thing?"

Zhong Tingyue shook her head: "Mom, Li Yuan wanted to give me 40%, but I thought it was too much."

Seemingly knowing that Gu Lanxin didn't understand, Zhong Tingyue asked again: "Mom, do you know how much money Li Yuan invested in "Cha Yan Yue Se"?"

Gu Lanxin shook her head and asked tentatively: "How many millions?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled: "Mom, let me tell you this, just to buy the previous 10 stores, Li Yuan invested 10 million in cash, plus other supporting factories, raw materials, and employee salaries, about 13 million..."

"Recently, Li Yuan invested about 30 million and expanded 30 new stores, including raw material processing workshops, etc..."

"10% of the funds invested by Li Yuan alone is already 4 to 5 million."

"And the current valuation of "Cha Yan Yue Se" has easily exceeded 100 million, and the daily turnover is at the million level. Mom, do you know what this means?"

Even though Gu Lanxin knew nothing about business, she realized that Li Yuan gave her daughter 10% of the shares, which was also a large number after listening to Zhong Tingyue's explanation.

Zhong Tingyue spoke with confidence in her eyes: "Mom, according to the current development speed of "Cha Yan Yue Se", I am sure that within a year, "Cha Yan Yue Se" will become a company with a market value of more than 1 billion..."

Gu Lanxin was stunned, and was stunned by Zhong Tingyue's confident tone.

"With a market value of 1 billion, doesn't that mean, Xiaoyueliang, your net worth is at least hundreds of millions?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled and nodded.

After more than two months of studying the milk tea market and running a milk tea shop, she has a hunch that the future milk tea market will become larger and more popular.

According to the current trend, as long as the brand effect of "Cha Yan Yue Se" can be continuously improved, it is not impossible to make "Cha Yan Yue Se" the "Starbucks" of China...

"Haha, Xiaoyueliang, you are really great. I don't know how much money the old Zhong family in Sucheng has, but your father's net worth, all added together, will definitely not exceed 100 million."
