Chapter 227: A man's success is his family's smile. _3
Glancing at this brand-new A6 in front of him, the car must have cost at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.
An average family would hesitate to make such a purchase, even for those with a bit more money it would require some teeth-gritting.
Watching his mother's astonished expression, Xu Musen felt it would be a lie to say he wasn't pleased with himself.
A man's sense of achievement is sown from the envy in others' eyes, the contentment in his parents', the hero he is to his children, and the praise from his wife...
What else is earning money for?
Is it not to share the blessings with one's family?
Show-off to strangers? No fun. It's awesome to show-off along with one's parents!
"This car..."
Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, yet her gaze passed by her smug-faced son to rest on Yao Mingyue, "Ming Yue, did your family buy a new car?"
Xu Musen: ...
Yao Mingyue zoned out for a second, observing Xu Musen's dazed expression.
Haha, so you also have moments when you can't show off!
She barely contained her laughter, "Auntie, this isn't mine, it's Musen's."
Only then did Mother Xu turn her attention to her son.
Xu Musen straightened his back, thinking isn't he bringing glory to his ancestors?
Await the performance!
"Son, whose car did you rent?"
"???"
Xu Musen was on the verge of spitting blood.
"Mom, I didn't rent it."
"If it's not rented, where did you get so much money? Don't you imitate those who rent luxury cars for the New Year. We don't need to put on airs. You've just learned to drive; what if you scratch or damage it, it will cost a lot to repair."
"It's really mine, I bought it."
"You bought it... How many years did you finance it for?"
"Paid in full!"
"You? Robbed a bank?"
Mother Xu still found it hard to believe, although she knew her son could now make money, but this car must have cost at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.
He hadn't been studying for long; how could he afford such a nice car, it's like driving half a house out.
"Mom, don't you have that little faith in your son?"
But Xu Musen was feeling frustrated, this was not how he had imagined things would go.
Yao Mingyue, standing to the side, could no longer hold back her laughter, and she felt happy seeing Xu Musen thwarted.
Serves him right for always being so full of himself!
"Son, this car… Did you really buy it?"
Mother Xu, actually gauging her son and Yao Mingyue's expressions, was already somewhat convinced that the car was indeed bought by her son.
"Of course, if you don't believe it, when we get home, I'll show you the purchase contract," Xu Musen said, half laughing, half crying.
Finally, Mother Xu approached the brand-new Audi, reached out to touch the car window, and quickly wiped it clean, worried about leaving fingerprints.
She then glanced back at her Ya Di electric scooter.
Ya Di, Audi.
One signifies life, so does the other.
But the difference of a single word signifies entirely different lives.
Mother Xu wasn't particularly obsessed with cars, but she knew what this car represented for her son.
For their family that has weathered ups and downs, it meant something significant.
It was a spine that had been bent for many years, finally able to straighten up again.
She looked at the car in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears, unable to stop herself from crying as she looked at the car.
"Mom, you should be happy," Xu Musen walked over and spoke softly.
The truth was, seeing his mother's gestures, he too was filled with a flood of emotions. Isn't this moment what earning money is all about?
"Of course, Mom's happy... It's just that I feel a bit sorry for you, for letting you suffer previously, and now that I'm old, I can't help you…"
Mother Xu, touching the tears in her eyes, felt more and more that they hadn't taken good care of him in the past as she saw her son's improved life. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire
And when their child was successful, they couldn't help either.
They've ultimately become old.
"Mom, you and Dad have already given me the best you had, it's the son who realized things too late, things will get better and better."
"Yes, Auntie, we will all continue to improve."
Yao Mingyue also gently embraced Mother Xu's arm, taking out a tissue to help wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes.
Watching this scene, her feelings subtly shifted.
For Xu Musen's family, earning money and changing their current life was the greatest happiness.
And for Yao Mingyue...
Yao Mingyue looked at Mother Xu, perhaps when she truly attained her own happiness,
Her mother would be even happier than at this moment.
Yao Mingyue then glanced at Xu Musen.
Striving for one's own happiness...
"Mom, get in the car, I've already bought the groceries. Today I'll cook, and you and Dad can taste my cooking."
Xu Musen walked to the front of the car, opened the door, and said with a smile,
"Empress Dowager, Princess, please get into the car!"
Mother Xu and Yao Mingyue both tried hard to suppress their grins.
The car started, heading towards the familiar home, but a brand new life was also about to start.
