Not Knowing How Much Money the Family Has (Second Update)

Not Knowing How Much Money the Family Has (Second Update)

Lin Yan had been quite proud of herself, but when she saw Su Xi's beauty, she could not help feeling somewhat inferior.

Before coming, Fan Xiu had wanted to show off the beautiful wife he had found to Fan Yu, but now he had gone silent.

"Xixi, where's Fan Yu? Where did he go?"

"Why didn't he come?"

Xie Wanru asked Su Xi in confusion.

Su Xi's lips curved into a smile. "He's probably still asleep and hasn't gotten up yet?"

"Ah!!!"

Fan Zhicheng could not help getting angry. "That brat, doesn't he know his father is coming today? He's still sleeping in?"

Xie Wanru tugged on Fan Zhicheng's sleeve. Realizing he had not paid attention to his image, Fan Zhicheng coughed. "Well, Xixi, don't mind him. Your uncle just has a loud voice. I didn't mean anything by it."

Su Xi smiled and shook her head. "Uncle, it's fine. You're Fan Yu's parents, which makes you family too. This is nothing."

Just then, Xie Wanru's phone rang.

Seeing that it was Fan Yu, Xie Wanru answered. "Xiaoyu, where are you?"

Fan Yu held the steering wheel with one hand and said, "Mom, have you all arrived?"

"I got up late today. Wait a little longer—I'll be there in a few minutes."

Before Xie Wanru could speak, Fan Zhicheng snatched the phone away. "You brat, look what time it is! You don't care about your old man anymore? If Xixi hadn't come, we'd still be waiting at the airport."

"Xixi? Su Xi?"

Fan Yu asked doubtfully.

"That's right, your fiancée Su Xi. She's driving us on the ring road right now. Where are you?"

Listening to the conversation between Fan Zhicheng and Fan Yu, Xie Wanru smiled apologetically at Su Xi. That was just how the father and son were.

Su Xi shook her head to show that it was fine.

"Got it, Dad. I'm on the ring expressway too. Send me your live location, and I should be able to catch up with you."

Having just gotten off the ring expressway, Fan Yu made a turn and got back onto the ring road.

Looking at the location his father had sent, he stepped on the gas, and the Maybach shot forward like an arrow.

Following the location on his phone, he got closer and closer until he finally caught up with Su Xi's van.

"Su Xi, answer the video call."

Fan Yu sent Su Xi a message on WeChat.

Su Xi accepted the call, and Fan Yu's image appeared on the car's central display.

On Fan Yu's own central display, the scene inside the van also appeared.

"Dad, Mom."

Fan Yu said with a smile.

"Brat, where are you?" Fan Zhicheng asked as he looked at Fan Yu on the display.

"I'm in the Mercedes next to you."

Fan Xiu was the first to curiously look outside.

But after searching around, none of the Mercedes passing by were his, leaving him confused.

"Son, why can't I see you?"

Xie Wanru turned her gaze away from the window and asked Fan Yu.

"It doesn't have a Mercedes logo. It's the one with a badge made of two crossed Ms. That's my car."

"I see it!" Fan Xiu shouted.

Everyone in the car except Su Xi looked outside.

Fan Yu rolled down his window and waved.

"Damn, Xiaoyu, that car is a Maybach, right?" Fan Xiu was young, after all, and knew quite a bit about cars.

"Haha, big brother, hello. I've already arranged the restaurant. Once we get out, we'll go eat, then I'll take you around Magic City properly," Fan Yu said with a smile.

"Xiaoyu, you found such a beautiful sister-in-law, and you never said a word?"

"Even your sister-in-law has been outshone," Fan Xiu joked.

Fan Yu shook his head. "There are too many cars on the road. We'll talk when we get to the restaurant. Xixi, head to Tianfu Restaurant."

After hanging up, the two cars headed toward Tianfu Restaurant one after the other.

The two cars arrived one after another at the entrance of Tianfu International and stopped. Fan Yu had deliberately not stepped on the gas; otherwise, the bulky Toyota van would have long since been left far behind.

After getting out of the car, Fan Yu opened the van's electric door and let everyone out.

"Not bad. You picked a good restaurant."

Looking at the twenty-plus-story building, Fan Xiu said in surprise.

Fan Xiu was also a department supervisor earning several hundred thousand a year, but after all, he did not live in an international metropolis like Magic City. Five-star hotels of this scale were still rare.

"Mm, Xiao Yu really has made something of himself."

Fan Zhixin, Fan Yu's eldest uncle, stepped out of the car and said with a smile.

Fan Yu smiled faintly. "It's alright. Come on, don't stand outside. I already had a private room reserved. We can talk inside."

As soon as they reached the entrance, Liu Jian came forward to greet them. "Boss, you're here. The private room has been reserved—the Imperial Room, four eights."

Fan Yu nodded. "Alright, Old Liu, you can head back first. I don't need you here."

"Alright, Boss."

After saying that, Liu Jian called over Tianfu Restaurant's lobby manager and had him receive Fan Yu and the others.

"Hello, Mr. Fan. I'm the lobby manager of Tianfu International. My surname is Sun. Just call me Xiao Sun."

Manager Sun spoke respectfully.

Anyone who could make someone like Liu Jian run errands personally—and have him respectfully address them as boss—was definitely an important figure. Naturally, he had to treat him with respect.

Fan Yu said with a smile, "Alright, Manager Sun. Sorry to trouble you."

Manager Sun led Fan Yu and the others into the elevator, taking them directly to the Imperial private room on the fifteenth floor.

When the doors to the private room were pushed open, Fan Zhicheng and the others' eyes lit up. It was spotless and tidy, with enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that offered an unobstructed view of the blue skies and white clouds outside.

A massive round table capable of seating more than thirty people stood in the room, its chairs neatly arranged and immaculate.

In one corner of the room were artificial features such as a small bridge and flowing water. The gentle babble of the stream was pleasant and elegant.

"Alright, not bad. Manager Sun, have the dishes served."

Fan Yu said with satisfaction.

Everyone sat down, but even half of the enormous table was not filled.

Fan Yu sat beside Su Xi, with his father on his other side. Xie Wanru sat beside Su Xi.

"Xixi, how old are you this year?" Xie Wanru asked with a smile.

Su Xi replied quietly, "Twenty-three."

"Twenty-three? Xixi, don't tell me you just graduated from university?" Xie Wanru asked in surprise.

"Mm." Su Xi nodded.

"Xiao Yu is about the same age as you. You two really are fated," Xie Wanru said with a smile.

Lin Yan, who had been acting somewhat haughty all along, asked, "I wonder where little brother is working now?"

"I noticed that Manager Liu seemed to call you boss earlier. Is he your employee?"

Fan Xiu had been too absorbed in the Imperial Room's luxurious décor to notice anything else, but he finally came to his senses and looked at Fan Yu curiously.

Fan Yu smiled. "Ah, Old Liu? You could say he's my employee. I invested a little in real estate and happened to catch a good opportunity, so I made a bit of money. Old Liu helps me collect rent every day."

"Didn't you just graduate? How do you have money to invest in real estate already?"

Fan Xiu spotted the flaw in Fan Yu's words and asked skeptically.

How could he not know Fan Yu's family circumstances? Let alone investing in Magic City real estate, they probably could not even afford to do so in their little county town.

Fan Yu blinked. "Did you forget about your sister-in-law?"

"Don't I have a rich woman helping me?"

After speaking, Fan Yu gave Su Xi a meaningful look.

"Oh, then what does your sister-in-law's family do?" Lin Yan asked Su Xi again.

Su Xi smiled. "My family's business covers a wide range of fields, so I don't really know which one to mention. But I suppose the areas that make the most money are technology R&D and real estate?"

"As for how much money my family has, I don't know either. I don't care about those things. Whenever I need money, my father gives it to me. It could be tens of thousands or millions, or tens of millions or hundreds of millions. As long as I ask, my father gives it to me."

"Ah?"

Everyone at the table except Fan Yu was stunned.

After speaking, Su Xi quietly asked Fan Yu, "How was that answer? I didn't make you lose face, did I?"

Fan Yu smiled in satisfaction. "Mm. As my fiancée, that's exactly how you should talk. It's not like we don't have the means. When it's time to be high-profile, be high-profile."

Xie Wanru, seated nearby, could not help glaring at Fan Yu. She had heard their entire conversation. This young couple really was far too arrogant.

Still, Xie Wanru was quite satisfied with Su Xi. Her future daughter-in-law seemed rather domineering.

"Xixi, you're so beautiful. Your father must have been very reluctant to let you go, right?"

Su Xi's expression turned strange. "My father was the one who introduced me to Fan Yu. He's very satisfied with Fan Yu. I didn't see any reluctance."

Fan Yu laughed. Su Tianlong's attitude back then still amused him whenever he thought about it.

Seeing Fan Yu's smug expression, Xie Wanru could not help shaking her head. This kid really had foolish luck—Su Xi's father had actually taken a liking to him.

Before long, the dishes were brought in, and Fan Yu invited everyone to start eating.

"Come on, open the liquor. Our family rarely gets together, so let's have a few drinks."

A bottle of authentic Moutai was opened, and its rich aroma wafted out, making Fan Zhicheng and Fan Zhixin's eyes light up.

Both of them enjoyed a good drink, so the sight of fine liquor made them eager.
