Chapter 457: Chapter 264: If You Can’t Choose Between the Older Sister and the Childhood Friend, Then Don’t Choose at All
The number of people buying cars before the Spring Festival is high, but after the festival, 4S stores generally close for a holiday, and people usually return to work on the sixth or seventh day of the new lunar year.
Xu Qingyan, in his line of work, had no concept of holidays and had forgotten about this for a moment.
After a momentary daze, he felt somewhat embarrassed.
“Uh, let’s go somewhere else to buy a car,” he said, his mouth twitching slightly, “We can’t be taking a black taxi again today. Let’s look elsewhere, and if all else fails, we’ll take a black taxi.”
“Right.”
Xu Qingyan asked around and found another place to buy a car.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t take a black taxi, but he definitely needed a car for commuting between the city center and Qinghe over the next few days. Lin Wanzhou was also at home and would need it occasionally.
During the festive season, every household needs a car. It’s better to just buy one outright. Renting a car is too much hassle, and he didn’t need to save that bit of money. There was no need to buy a luxury car either, since even if he wanted to, there wouldn’t be any stock available.
After some searching and with the help of friends, he managed to buy a Volvo worth more than two hundred thousand yuan. This type of car was commonly purchased by doctors and for maternity purposes, with a heavy emphasis on safety and being odor-free.
Anyway, it was just for temporary use. He also had a car to drive in Xinghai, and strictly speaking, he had more cars than he could drive. After getting a temporary license plate, driving around the city for these few days wasn’t a problem.
He had someone take care of the license plate as well. With connections, the total cost wouldn’t be much.

Ever since Xu Qingyan had come home, he hadn’t thought about saving money. Instead of saving money, he just wanted to save himself from worry. Whether it was impulsively buying a car or helping Li Yang, he preferred to spend a little extra money to get things done efficiently.
In the past, he might have agonized over it all night, considering every aspect. After making more money, he was not so financially stretched and could afford to think long-term.
Xu Qingyan himself didn’t feel much, but for Li Yang, who always followed him like a little tail, the impact of him buying a car as casually as buying vegetables was quite shocking.
Although she knew Xu Qingyan must be well-off, she was still stunned. How could he not even bargain when buying? Do rich people really not bargain when shopping?
In reality, the price had been negotiated by a friend beforehand. They didn’t take advantage of the seller nor did they lose out, and they even got quite a few extra services. After all, no one wanted to spend the festive period haggling.
“Ah? Am I sitting in the passenger seat?” Li Yang was slightly surprised.
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
“New cars are supposed to…” Li Yang hesitated, remembering what the girls in her class had said…
“There’s no need for such superstitions in a family, all this talk about new cars.” Xu Qingyan was somewhat speechless, “It’s not like I’m sitting in a friend’s or a leader’s car; there’s no need for such complications.”
“Don’t listen to those people online spouting nonsense, what does the passenger seat have to do with being a girlfriend? Can single people not live anymore?”
“Besides, the passenger seat is for assisting the driver, not for sleeping as soon as you get in the car. I generally don’t dare to sleep when others are driving, only when I’m driving can I catch a quick nap.”
Unable to argue with Xu Qingyan, Li Yang blinked and obediently got into the car. Throughout the journey, she didn’t dare to let her mind wander and kept her eyes wide open, watching the road.
Xu Qingyan found it amusing, but he didn’t say it out loud. Dealing with affairs is a tedious process, and occasionally teasing a young girl could make it less unbearable.
While waiting for the traffic light, he glanced at the messages Pei Muchan had sent. Most of them were pictures of meals or chats about recent trivial events.
Or she would vent about visiting relatives, a task that always immensely stressed her out. Xu Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh when he thought about how even the usually cool Pei Muchan could be afraid of visiting relatives.
But then, thinking about Pei Muchan’s all-encompassing family, his laughter faded.
Their relationship had evolved from an initial cooperation for mutual benefit to a pure attraction to one another. Their feelings, both overt and covert, intertwined seamlessly, to the point where neither could do without the other.
Relationships built on fleeting emotions come and go like the tide. There will inevitably be loss of interest in the day-to-day, leading to cracks in the relationship.
In fact, whether it was Pei Muchan or Lin Wanzhou, the relationships among the three of them were complementary. Such relationships build up slowly and are more stable as a result.
In the afternoon, he drove the car back to Qinghe.
As Xu Qingyan drove in the direction of his home, he pondered how he would thank Gan Wenchang if things went well. Suddenly he spotted a bridge ahead with his mother chatting there.
He hit the brakes, scanned the few middle-aged women, and got the gist.
The biggest gossips of Qinghe had gathered, and two out of the four were there. His mother usually didn’t wander around this part of the bridge, so it was rare for her to be so active today.
“Mom,” Xu Qingyan called out to the other few women as well, greeting them with a beaming smile.
Li Yang in the passenger seat followed his lead, dutifully greeting each one of them.
Zhang Hongmei was a bit taken aback upon seeing the new car, but did not show it.
“You’re back?”
Before Xu Qingyan could speak, a few women swarmed around Zhang Hongmei and crowded in.
“Qingyan, did you buy a new car today?”
“Yes,” Xu Qingyan replied with a smile, not saying much else, “I have some errands to run over the next few days, and it would be inconvenient without a car.”
One of the women, whose family had some spare cash and whose son bragged about making two hundred thousand a year from working outside of town, which frankly wasn’t much after expenses in Shencheng, chimed in.
“Why did you get this kind of car? You’re a big boss now, shouldn’t you buy something like a BMW?”
“What big boss,” Xu Qingyan laughed while leaning on the steering wheel, “I’m just making a living out there, earning some hard-earned money.”
“Didn’t you do something with the Spring Festival Gala? How can you be short of money?” another woman asked, eyes wide, looking at him, “Is that really true?”
“I guess so,” Xu Qingyan maintained his easygoing smile, appearing completely unconcerned, which only made the women more certain of their judgment.
