NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: 3
In the garage, Yun Che was slightly taken aback by the dozens of luxury cars parked there… Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Passat…
He knew the Yun family was wealthy, but he hadn't expected them to be extravagantly so!
Sigh .. choosing a car is certainly rich people problem those poor readers who doesn't support hard working translators won't taste this feeling at all.
The book hadn't specified just how much wealth the Yun family possessed, as it was all meant to pave the way for Ye Chen, eventually all falling into his hands.
After a brief moment of surprise, Yun Che quickly regained his composure. With his current status, being amazed by luxury cars would indeed be somewhat inappropriate.
Yun Che casually drove out a limited edition Bugatti Veyron from the garage, heading towards the Yun family's large compound as he remembered it.
…
At the Yun family compound, Yun Che parked the car and walked straight in. The compound, covering an area of about ten thousand square meters, had a swimming pool, rockeries, a garden – everything one could imagine.
"Young master."
"Young master, welcome home."
Servants along the way kept bowing and greeting Yun Che. Since becoming an adult, he had moved out and seldom returned home. But these servants still recognized him, after all, he was the only son of the Yun family.
"Hmm…" Yun Che responded indifferently, his expression unchanging, and headed straight for the living room.
…
"Xiao Che, you're back."
Just as Yun Che entered the living room, he heard a gentle call. Looking up, he saw a beautiful lady in a cheongsam sitting on the sofa, smiling at him.
Having absorbed the original Yun Che's memories, he knew this woman was his mother, Su Shanshan. Her background was quite extraordinary – the only daughter of the head of the Su family from the capital.
The Su family was one of the four great ancient martial families in the capital! The power they possessed was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"Mom, I'm back…" A smile appeared on Yun Che's lips as he looked at Su Shanshan.
To avoid revealing any flaws in front of this woman, he had been deliberately imitating the original Yun Che's behavior and mannerisms.
"It's been over a month since you last came home," Su Shanshan said, her tone a mix of reproach and wistfulness, unaware of Yun Che's oddity.
"I've been busy with my studies lately… So I've had little time to come home." Seeing that Su Shanshan didn't suspect him, Yun Che felt relieved and then spoke.
He wasn't lying; the original Yun Che had always been seen as an exemplary child by others. Despite being born into a top family in Tianhai City like the Yuns, he didn't have any arrogance and gave off the impression of a refined and noble young master.
"That's good. Once you graduate, come back and take over the family business," Su Shanshan smiled and said.
She had been managing the Yun family's enterprises alone, as Yun Che's father held a special position and had no time to manage these businesses, leaving the enormous family business on her shoulders alone.
Seeing Yun Che growing more mature and sensible by the day, she felt immensely relieved.
"Let's discuss this matter slowly in the future. Mom, did you call me back today for something?" Yun Che vaguely responded and then asked knowingly.
Having transmigrated and become the major villain in the book, he had no time to manage any company. Let his adoptive mother handle it for a few more years; he'd rather enjoy the life of a privileged heir…
…
"There's nothing special about calling you back this time. Do you remember the Shen family's girl, Shen Qingqiu?"
"Of course, I remember. What's happened to Qingqiu?" Yun Che hesitated and then asked.
"Nothing's happened to her. Didn't she go up the mountain to learn at the age of thirteen? She just came back a few days ago. Your father and I discussed, and we think it's time for you two to get engaged."
"After all, you grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and there's also an engagement between you."
"Of course, if you have someone else in your heart, I can also step in and call off this engagement for you. I called you back this time to ask for your opinion." Su Shanshan said a lot in one breath and then picked up the teacup from the table, taking a sip, quietly waiting for Yun Che's response.
If Yun Che was unwilling to get engaged to Shen Qingqiu, she would immediately call off the engagement today.
Hearing Su Shanshan's words, Yun Che felt a faint touch of emotion. Unlike other noble families that impose parental orders and matchmaker's words, Su Shanshan never forced him to do anything he disliked from childhood to adulthood.
…
"Let's first go to the Shen family to see Qingqiu. After all, I haven't seen her for eight years." Yun Che didn't give Su Shanshan an immediate response.
In fact, he didn't know how to maximize his benefits. In the original story, Yun Che didn't break off the engagement with Shen Qingqiu, nor did he make her fall completely in love with him.
So, he had only two choices in front of him. First, break the engagement with Shen Qingqiu, changing the plot. Second, make Shen Qingqiu fall completely in love with him, changing the plot.
Yun Che decided to meet Shen Qingqiu first. If Shen Qingqiu was a stunning beauty, why would he break off the engagement? Why would he benefit that idiot protagonist Ye Chen for nothing?
