Taking her parents house hunting to broaden their horizons

Naturally, Chi Qing knew nothing about what happened after she left, nor did she know that her older male cousin, who appeared afterward, had recognized her car.

At that moment, Chi Qing was driving while fielding Yue Meifen's machine-gun barrage of questions.

Yue Meifen used to get carsick, so she always sat in the front passenger seat. Today, even before getting into the car, she knew it couldn't have been cheap. Once she got in, the luxurious interior left even a woman as confident and optimistic as Yue Meifen feeling a little constrained.

At the same time, she immediately realized that this car must have cost more than she could imagine! "Chi Qing, what are you trying to do? Are you planning to spend that entire five million?!" The thought of all that money being spent sent Yue Meifen's temper flaring, and she called Chi Qing by her full name.

The moment Chi Qing heard her mother use her full name, she knew her mother was pretty angry this time. She still had to take them to see the house later, so she had to explain this properly, or the old lady really would get worked up.

"Dad, look at Mom. I'm driving here. Don't let her scare me." Chi Qing first diverted the trouble elsewhere, dragging Chi Yongliang into it.

Chi Yongliang, who had been happily touching this and looking at that ever since getting into the car, without finding time to speak, finally came back to his senses. He immediately said in a low voice, "That's right. Whatever you have to say, say it calmly. Don't yell. Our daughter's driving."

Yue Meifen whipped her head around and glared at Chi Yongliang. "What do you ever know? All you do is grin like a fool." Then she said to Chi Qing, "Keep your eyes on the road, then. Tell me what's going on."

Chi Qing had been so excited on the way over that she had forgotten she had only told her parents she had won five million. Now, the car and house together cost more than that. As she thought about it, an idea struck her. "Mom, I actually lied to you before." "What? What did you lie to us about?" Yue Meifen immediately grew agitated, afraid Chi Qing would say the lottery win was a lie. But if it was, how could she explain this car and the things she had bought?

"Mom, hear me out." As she drove, Chi Qing began making things up. "I actually bought four lottery tickets that day. I won twenty million."

"What?!" Yue Meifen's voice abruptly rose, while Chi Yongliang's eyes widened and he pricked up his ears.

"I was afraid you'd get too excited if you heard twenty million, so I told you five million," Chi Qing continued inventing. "This car is nice, but I got lucky. I bought it secondhand. Someone bought it and returned it, so I snapped up a bargain. It actually only cost a few hundred thousand."

"Really? How come all the good things happen to you?" Yue Meifen wasn't that easy to fool.

"Really, Mom. I even won the lottery, so what's so strange about getting a car cheap? Maybe I've just been really lucky lately. Didn't you say my birth chart was good and I was blessed?" Chi Qing countered with Yue Meifen's own words. "That's true." At the mention of this, Yue Meifen immediately believed most of it.

"Twenty million. Just how much money is that? Still, don't go spending recklessly. Save it," Yue Meifen urged.

"I know. You don't need to worry. This won't cost much." As they chatted like this, talking over that twenty million, Yue Meifen, who used to get carsick, didn't feel sick at all. She excitedly discussed the twenty million the whole way. They wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives!

Soon, Chi Qing drove into the residential complex and parked in the underground garage of the villa she had just bought. Then they took the private elevator directly to the villa's first floor.

Yue Meifen and Chi Yongliang had assumed all along that they were going to the high-rise where Chi Qing currently lived. Instead, after getting out of the car and winding their way around, they actually took a little elevator straight into the house.

Only then did Yue Meifen and Chi Yongliang remember that Chi Qing had said there was something she needed them for when she picked them up today. They had been so busy talking about the lottery on the way that they hadn't asked what it was!

As Yue Meifen and Chi Yongliang looked at the lavish villa before them, an exciting thought vaguely began to form in both their minds.
