I am not just a tycoon-Chapter 255 - 253: Sorry, you couldn’t hold onto such an excellent man.
Chapter 255: Chapter 253: Sorry, you couldn’t hold onto such an excellent man.
The Benz G-Class was cruising on the way back, and Shen Yuan took the passenger seat because he had been drinking at noon.
He turned on the car’s Bluetooth and played Lunzi’s “Sunny Day”, then looked toward the driver’s seat, “Teacher Lih, let’s buy you a house.”
“Huh?”
Lih Xiao, caught off guard, pressed down on the gas pedal sharply, causing the G-Class’s engine to roar.
“Teacher Lih, don’t get too excited.”
Shen Yuan was so scared that he sobered up a bit.
“Shen Yuan… stop buying me things.”
Lih Xiao’s brows furrowed slightly, “You bought me a car, and today you bought so many things for my parents, not to mention arranging a hotel and driver for them, I don’t even know how to thank you properly.”
“With our relationship, do we still need to say thanks?”
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Besides, if you really want to thank me, thank me properly when we get back.”
Lih Xiao’s face turned red instantly, and even though she didn’t see Shen Yuan’s expression, she knew what that “thank me properly” meant.
Lih Meng understood even better. Sitting in the back, she mentally spit at Shen Yuan: What a hooligan!
“But a house is too expensive, and besides, we’re not without a place to stay.”
Lih Xiao kept driving, with an embarrassed look on her face.
“Renting is inconvenient, and the place you’re living in now is too small, with only two rooms. If we have children in the future, it won’t be enough.”
Last time, it took Shen Yuan half a day to persuade Teacher Lih to accept the car. Now, to buy her a house, he would definitely need some strategy, so he started to dangle the “children” carrot in front of her.
In the heat of love, most women want to have children for their partner, and Shen Yuan thought that Teacher Lih, being a traditional woman, was no exception.
As expected, upon hearing the word “children”, Lih Xiao’s cheeks turned red hot, and her heart pounded wildly.
Shen Yuan… do you want to have children with me already? But we’re not even married yet.
Today, Shen Yuan had brought her so many surprises, good for her parents, for her, and even planning their future, Lih Xiao felt so blessed. She must be the happiest woman in the world right now, right?
Turning his head to look, indeed, as soon as children were mentioned, Teacher Lih’s Feel-good Index jumped from 87 to 88.
Buying Teacher Lih a house was partly to increase the Feel-good Index, partly to cash in on the rebates, but more importantly, to lay the groundwork for the future.
With everything, there’s always the unexpected. In case his affair with Lih Meng got exposed, Shen Yuan was really afraid Old Lih would pick up a Type 92 pistol and blow his head off.
The more Shen Yuan did for his girl now, the higher the chance of saving his own skin if the worst came to the worst and everything came to light.
In the back seat, Lih Meng was rolling her eyes. She wasn’t the love-struck type like her sister, and not being involved herself, she quickly figured out that Shen Yuan was using “having children” as an excuse to help her sister buy a house.
What a shameless hooligan!
But after thinking it over, Lih Meng felt a bit down. After Shen Yuan helped her sister buy a house, her sister would probably move out, and she would have to continue living in Dongsheng. Then, Shen Yuan would probably hardly ever come over.
Because every time he came, it was to see her sister, and she was just convenient.
“That’s settled then, Teacher Lih. You guys can have a look at houses these next few days. I’ll select a few neighborhoods and send them to you.”
Shen Yuan swiftly cut through the confusion, not giving Lih Xiao any chance to refuse.
Now Lih Xiao had no way to refuse, her heart blossoming with sweetness the moment “having children” was mentioned.
What about my sister?… Lih Xiao glanced at Lih Meng through the rearview mirror, wondering if Shen Yuan would agree to let her sister move in together if he bought a house?
Normal people would want a world for two, right?
Shen Yuan noticed Lih Xiao’s subtle movement and thought, a little sister-in-law should naturally share the bedroom.
So he said, “We should buy a house with four bedrooms, one for you and me, one for the kids, one for Lih Meng, and leave one for the in-laws.”
Lih Xiao caught on to Shen Yuan’s meaning and her smile bloomed like a flower, “That would be perfect, four rooms are just right.”
Lih Meng “hmphed” and thought to herself that at least this Shen Yuan has some conscience.
But her happiness was short-lived as she soon received a WeChat message from Shen Yuan.
What’s with this, sending WeChat messages when we’re just sitting a row apart… Lih Meng opened it and immediately her expression turned to one of embarrassed anger.
“Touched or not? If touched, please add ‘daddy’, thank you.”
Such a lecher! Shameless!
Humph!
Lih Meng quickly replied: “Impossible, I was forced last night, you’ve forgotten all about it, haven’t you?”
Shen Yuan: “Forced? I recall that last night someone took the initiative to come to her sister’s room, right?”
Lih Meng: “Enough, shut up.”
Shen Yuan: “I remember someone said, ‘Brother-in-law, I want an XY, can you give it to me?'”
Lih Meng’s expression gradually twisted: “…”
While flirting with Lih Meng, Shen Yuan was carefully observing Lih Xiao’s subtle movements. Fortunately, Teacher Lih wasn’t very skilled at driving and was concentrating on the road, not paying much attention to Shen Yuan.
If she were a little more skilled and at ease with driving, she would definitely notice something off while waiting at the traffic lights.
It was obvious from their body language and speech that Shen Yuan was sending WeChat messages, occasionally glancing at Lih Meng in the rearview mirror; while Lih Meng’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, her expression one of angry shame, her legs crossed with one raised, occasionally squirming her thigh.
Just then, a WeChat message from Mrs. Lin suddenly popped up on Shen Yuan’s phone.
“Shen Yuan, I found a good car, a BMW M4, the bare car price just over 800,000, on-the-road for 885,000.”
This Mrs. Lin, wasn’t she given a budget of 2 million? Why settle for just an 800,000-plus car…
Shen Yuan shook his head, thinking let it be, he’d splurge a bit more next time.
“Send me the 4S dealership account, I’ll transfer it now.”
….
BMW 4S Dealership.
Lin Yuchang looked at the BMW M4 on display with a satisfied look on her face.
She had been following this sports car for a while before, but back then she could only long for it, never daring to consider actually buying it.
Back then, Zeng Xianyong was driving an Audi Q5 and didn’t have the money to buy it for her.
But now the situation was different… Lin Yuchang’s expression grew even more content thinking of Shen Yuan.
However, her anxious best friend Wan Fang was worried: “Yuchang, are you really going to buy it? Once the sales finalize the price and apply it, you’re really going to place the order. That’s over 800,000. Does Old Zeng really have the means?”
“Old Zeng doesn’t, but my boyfriend does.”
Lin Yuchang spoke with confidence.
“?”
Wan Fang asked in surprise, “What boyfriend?”
Lin Yuchang hadn’t yet told her about her divorce from a few days ago, so she explained, “I divorced Zeng Xianyong, and now I have a boyfriend. But… it might not really count as a boyfriend.”
“You divorced Old Zeng?”
Wan Fang was even more astonished. Wasn’t Old Zeng a good catch? How did it come to a divorce so suddenly?
“When did this happen? Why are you only telling me now?”
Wan Fang started to complain, and Lin Yuchang explained the whole situation.
As Wan Fang listened, she became increasingly astounded, and eventually, she couldn’t help covering her mouth and exclaiming, “No way, you guys went that far? Right in the room next to Old Zeng’s…”
Although Lin Yuchang had glossed over these details, Wan Fang had latched onto this particular point.
At this thought, Wan Fang could hardly imagine Old Zeng’s negative emotions. His mindset must have completely exploded, right?
Reflecting on what her friend had just shared, Wan Fang felt indignant on her behalf and said angrily, “Old Zeng really is an asshole, always messing around outside every day. He looked so honest before, I never knew you can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“…”
After cursing for a bit, Wan Fang became curious about her friend’s new man, “But are you sure he will transfer the money? After all, you just got divorced.”
Lin Yuchang was certain, “He will, I trust him.”
“You’re just too romantic. You were the same when you married Zeng Xianyong. The world isn’t as simple as you think. If he’s gotten all he wanted, why would he still help you buy a car?”
Wan Fang still couldn’t believe it. Men tend to reduce, even stop, their contributions once they’ve had their fill. How could he possibly increase his contribution?
Besides, this wasn’t a small sum we’re talking about here—it was over 800,000.
Without explaining, Lin Yuchang watched as the female sales associate returned to them with a professional smile, “Ms. Lin, the price has been approved as you requested, totaling 885,000.”
Lin Yuchang smiled slightly, “Okay, please provide a company account for me.”
“Sure, I’ll send it to you via WeChat.”
The sales associate took out her phone and sent it with practiced ease.
Wan Fang was getting anxious, she lowered her voice and said, “Yuchang, if he doesn’t transfer the money, how will you handle the situation?”
“He will.”
Lin Yuchang forwarded the account information to Shen Yuan and spoke with composure.
“You…”
Just as Wan Fang was about to criticize her friend’s naiveté, the screenshot that popped up on her friend’s mobile phone made her eyes widen.
It even came with a message, “I’ve transferred the money.”
“This… did he really transfer it?”
Wan Fang swallowed hard. This wasn’t 88 yuan but 880,000—transferred just like that?
Lin Yuchang forwarded the screenshot and said with a smile to the salesperson, “All set, the full payment has been transferred, you can verify it.”
The sales associate’s eyes lit up, “I’ll check it now, and if there’s no issue, I’ll take you to sign the contract and process the paperwork.”
After holding back for a while, Wan Fang couldn’t resist asking, “Yuchang, how old is your little boyfriend?”
“He’s about 22, I think.”
Lin Yuchang thought for a moment and then looked at her, “Why do you ask?”
Wan Fang hesitated, twiddled her fingers, and suggested, “Since you just got divorced and have a new man, shouldn’t we celebrate a little? Invite your little boyfriend to dinner with us?”
“Well…”
Lin Yuchang didn’t agree immediately, sensing something was off. If they were to celebrate, just the two of them would be enough. Why invite Shen Yuan? And why would Wan Fang come without her husband?
“He’s very busy. He might not have time.”
“Is that so…”
Wan Fang pondered for a while, then made another suggestion, “Young men like going to bars, so let’s go to a bar tonight for fun. Ask him if he’d like to come.”
“Um… didn’t you say you had dinner plans with your husband today?”

Lin Yuchang finally understood what was going on—her “good” friend wanted to meet Shen Yuan.
It’s true what they say, you must guard against fire, thieves, and friends… But Wan Fang had it good with her husband, who did all the housework and even gave her most of his salary. What more could she be discontented with?
“We’re together every day, it’s all the same whether we go out to eat or not.”
Wan Fang was not ready to give up.
She felt bitter inside. It was bad enough when her friend married Zeng Xianyong, making her feel inadequate. Now, to top it off, her friend found a young and wealthy boyfriend. How was she supposed to live with that?
Her own husband only made 8,000 a month, though he did give her 6,000 of it, which amounted to 72,000 a year—hardly a fraction of a single car that her friend bought.
This gap was just too big.
When it came down to it, her friend was just a bit taller, had longer legs, a prettier face, right?
Why did all the good things seem to go to her?
“Hmm…”
Lin Yuchang’s eyes flickered, regretting telling her about Shen Yuan.
It was careless. A handsome, young, wealthy man who was also great in bed—who wouldn’t be captivated after hearing about him?
“Actually, he has quite a few flaws.”
Lin Yuchang thought of a plan and whispered into Wan Fang’s ear, “……”
Wan Fang’s eyes widened, “Ah?? Really?”
“Why would I lie to you.”
Lin Yuchang whispered again, “It always hurts so much, and it takes a long time to recover. I even went to the hospital twice because of the discomfort.”
Sorry, Fangfang… but such an outstanding man, if you can’t handle him, I might as well enjoy him all to myself.
“This…”
After hearing this, Wan Fang was even more incredulous, and after a long silence, she finally patted her friend’s shoulder, “You’ve made too many sacrifices.”
