Xie Yuqing (Second Update)
But when Fan Yu answered the call, that word came out naturally instead.
"Hello, Mom. What is it?"
At that moment, all the emotions in Fan Yu's heart settled. Perhaps the original owner of this body had been affected too deeply by those feelings, and he simply could not resist them.
Still, he did not try too hard to resist. He had taken over someone else's body and gained the system because of it, so he should do something in return.
"Son, are you doing well over there in Magic City?"
A gentle woman's voice sounded, stirring something in Fan Yu's heart.
He had been an orphan in his previous life. Ever since he came of age and left the orphanage, he had drifted through society alone, tasting every bitterness and sweetness life had to offer and learning all too well how fickle people could be.
Now that he suddenly had parents, the feeling left him both excited and thrilled.
"Mm."
Fan Yu nodded.
"What's wrong, son? Why do you sound a little unhappy?"
"Could it be that you're unhappy because your mother called you?" Though she was asking a question, her tone remained as gentle as ever.
"Mom, it's not that. I just miss you a little."
Fan Yu began sweet-talking his mother.
"You child. If you miss me, just say so. I thought you had run into some trouble."
Xie Wanru laughed.
Fan Yu had long since adjusted his mindset. Since he had transmigrated here, he should simply go with the flow. Now that he had the means to support his parents, what was there to be afraid of?
"Hehe, I was just excited."
"By the way, Mom, don't you have work today? How do you have time to call me?"
Fan Yu asked casually.
Xie Wanru said, "Right, Xiaoyu. If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. Your aunt has returned. She doesn't plan to stay abroad anymore and wants to come back to work. She'll arrive at Magic City Airport at eight tonight, so go pick her up."
Fan Yu was slightly surprised. "Auntie is back?"
An image of an exceptionally beautiful woman flashed through his mind, followed by countless memories.
His aunt was named Xie Yuqing. Though she and his mother were biological sisters, they were nearly twenty years apart in age.
Moreover, from what he remembered, his aunt had always been a top student. She was twenty-nine this year and had spent nearly ten years abroad. He had never expected her to return today.
"Xiaoyu, do you have time to pick up your aunt?" Xie Wanru asked.
Coming back to his senses, Fan Yu hurriedly said, "Ah, Mom, I have time. I'll go to the airport and pick up Auntie in a while."
"Alright, then go. Be careful on the road. Oh, and it seems your aunt plans to work in Magic City, so since you know the place well, take good care of her." Xie Wanru did not forget to remind him before hanging up.
Fan Yu nodded repeatedly. "Mom, don't worry. In this little patch of Magic City, your son can get anything done."
"Alright, stop boasting. If work gets too tiring, come home and stay for a couple of days. I've heard Magic City isn't an easy place to live." Xie Wanru said.
Fan Yu reassured her, "Mom, you have no idea how well your son is doing now. When I have time, I'll bring you and Dad over so you can enjoy an easy life. Don't keep wearing yourselves out with things at home."
"Mm, Xiaoyu has really grown up. Your father and I will be counting on you to support us in the future."
Xie Wanru laughed and hung up.
After checking the time and seeing that it was already nearly six, Fan Yu hurriedly got up, dressed, and ran downstairs.
He drove the Maybach at breakneck speed toward the airport. Though there was some traffic on the way, he still made it there on time.
He had not seen his aunt in ten years. Fan Yu had no idea what she looked like now, so he could only rely on the memories in his mind as he waited at the airport exit.
As the flow of people gradually thinned, Fan Yu finally saw an exceptionally beautiful woman walk out.
"Auntie."
Fan Yu called out.
When Xie Yuqing saw the tall, strapping Fan Yu approaching, her expression brightened with delight. "Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to grow so tall after not seeing you for more than ten years."
When Xie Yuqing had gone abroad, Fan Yu had only been in middle school. Back then, he had been skinny and small. Who would have thought that after nearly ten years, he would have changed so drastically?
Taking the suitcase from Xie Yuqing's hand, Fan Yu smiled. "Auntie, I was so young back then. Didn't you know people change?"
As they spoke, Fan Yu led Xie Yuqing toward the parking lot.
Xie Yuqing was indeed stunningly beautiful, enough to topple kingdoms and cities. She possessed a classical Eastern beauty, and if she entered the entertainment industry, she would definitely be considered goddess-tier. However, Xie Yuqing was a genuine academic elite and had no interest whatsoever in a place like the entertainment industry.
Beep, beep!!!
The headlights flashed on, revealing an imposing Maybach 70S before them.
Seeing the Maybach 70S, Xie Yuqing looked at Fan Yu in surprise. "Xiaoyu, is this your car?"
Fan Yu nodded with a smile. "Of course it's mine. Whose else could it be?"
"The Maybach 70S. There are only twenty of them in the world. It comes equipped with a full intelligent system, boasts a six-star safety rating, and has the greatest torque output in the world. It is an imperial luxury car specially built by Mercedes-Benz."
"It costs thirty million, but even then, it is unavailable on the market. Without sufficient assets and status, you simply cannot buy it. It is the king of luxury cars, an emperor among emperors. Even ordinary people with money cannot get their hands on one."
Xie Yuqing gave Fan Yu a deep look. It seemed her nephew was far from ordinary.
After picking up his aunt, they headed straight back to Tomson Riviera.
Yet as they spent more time together, Xie Yuqing became increasingly astonished. How had this nephew of hers acquired all of this?
Tomson Riviera was one of the country's foremost luxury residential complexes. Though real estate developers had undoubtedly inflated its prices through hype, it was still unquestionably a genuine luxury residence.
Once inside, Xie Yuqing carefully looked around and gained a clearer impression of Tomson Riviera.
"Auntie, you must be tired from the flight. Get some rest early. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
Fan Yu said with a smile.
The night passed without incident.
In the morning, Fan Yu prepared breakfast and called Xie Yuqing up.
"Auntie, breakfast is ready. Get up quickly."
"Got it."
Fan Yu knew that his aunt was exhausted from the international flight and jet lag, which was why she had not gotten up early.
Sitting at the table and eating bread while drinking milk, Xie Yuqing asked, "Xiaoyu, what kind of work do you do now?"
Fan Yu replied casually, "I run a few companies. I just keep myself busy all day."
"You run companies?"
"What kind of companies?" Xie Yuqing asked curiously.
"A photon company, an internet technology company, and a financial company," Fan Yu answered.
Xie Yuqing was surprised. "Xiaoyu, I never expected that after just a few years apart, you'd already started so many companies. I never saw it when you were young, but you really have the potential to become a business tycoon."
"Auntie, it's all about opportunities. Maybe I happened to be in the right time and the right place, and that's how I succeeded."
Fan Yu did not elaborate and merely brushed it off.
"By the way, Auntie, I heard from Mom that you want to develop your career in Magic City?"
Xie Yuqing nodded. "Mm. Actually, I came back this time because I want to find a job in Magic City. As you know, Xiaoyu, relations between our country and foreign countries have been tense in recent years. If I didn't come back soon, I was afraid I might not be able to return later."
"By the way, Xiaoyu, can I work at your internet company? Over the past few years abroad, I actually majored in internet technology and management. Maybe I can help you."
"Auntie, what are you talking about? We're family. Mom also told me to take care of you. How about this? I'll take you to the company to have a look in a while."
The two chatted casually about family matters for a while, then got dressed and headed to the company.
