His eldest uncle asked, "Xu Yun, do all these cars belong to your company?"

"No, Yu Xuan probably rented them."

That made them feel a little better.

’At least he didn’t buy them,’ they thought.

Still, even if they were rented, this was incredibly extravagant.

Just as they were reeling from the fact that Xu Yun used Mercedes-Benzes for his entourage, Yu Xuan pulled up in Xu Yun’s white Bentley.

The contrast was instantly obvious.

Its looks, its presence, its sheer sense of high-class luxury—it instantly blew the two Mercedes E-Classes out of the water.

Mercedes E-Classes were a common sight in a small county town, but a white Bentley Flying Spur was not.

Even the two drivers from the rental company stared at the car with envy, wishing they could take it for a spin.

His youngest uncle asked, "Is this car rented too?"

"This one isn’t. I bought it for my daily drive."

His youngest uncle was speechless.

"Alright, everyone get in," Xu Yun said. "The people at the hotel are waiting for us."

The group got into the cars according to the arrangement they’d made earlier.

The two uncles were in one car, and Xu Yun and Chen Xin were in another.

The aunts-in-law and his mother rode in the Bentley with Yu Xuan.

On the way, sitting in the back of a Bentley for the first time, the two aunts-in-law stroked the plush upholstery and basked in the aura of a luxury car, their eyes filled with envy.

"Miss, how much does this car cost?" the eldest aunt-in-law asked curiously. "It can’t be cheaper than those Mercedes-Benzes, right?"

"This car is over three million," Yu Xuan replied nonchalantly.

Xu Yun hadn’t introduced them to Yu Xuan, so she had no idea they were his aunts-in-law.

...

Hearing her answer, the two women gasped.

’We knew it would be expensive, but we were thinking a million at most.’

’And you’re telling us it’s over *three million*?!’

They exclaimed in shock, "That’s outrageous! I could buy several houses with that kind of money!"

"Looks like Xu Yun has really hit the big time."

Before, when Xu Yun had said he earned over ten million a month, it was just a number spoken aloud.

It was shocking, but the impact hadn’t been that significant; they had no concrete concept of what that meant.

They had even suspected that Xu Yun was just bluffing!

But now, Xu Yun had put a luxury car right in front of them, letting them experience the sweet taste of money firsthand.

Suddenly, that "ten million" became tangible, no longer just a number.

This kind of visceral and visual impact was the most shocking of all.

"For President Xu, this is just pocket change."

Who knew if Yu Xuan was doing it on purpose.

She continued to boast on her boss’s behalf, "Did you see that watch on President Xu’s wrist?"

"We did. What about it?"

"The watch he’s just casually wearing is worth as much as this car."

The aunts-in-law were dumbstruck.

’Oh my god, what is happening to the world? This is insane!’

’Just a month ago, he was still the Xu Yun who couldn’t afford a house, the guy whose mother had to sell her own home just to help him with a down payment.’

’Now, he’d suddenly transformed. He had a company, a secretary, and went around wearing a watch and driving a car both worth millions.’

’I don’t recognize him. I don’t recognize him at all.’

’Is this still the Xu Yun they knew?’

It wasn’t just the aunts-in-law; Zhang Sujuan, sitting in the front passenger seat, was reeling from the shock herself.

’A three-million watch, a three-million car... just how much money had her son actually made?’

’He’d mentioned ten million, and here was six or seven million of it gone in a flash.’

’But judging by the secretary’s casual tone, the things her son had bought surely didn’t end here.’

However, she kept her expression calm and well-controlled, betraying none of her inner turmoil.

To Yu Xuan, this meant the "Auntie" was no ordinary person; she was clearly long accustomed to such things.

’It seems this amount of money isn’t even worth mentioning to her, not enough to stir the slightest emotion.’

’The two women in the back, on the other hand, look like they’ve never seen the world, shocked beyond belief.’

’It’s as if they’re meeting "Xu Yun" for the very first time.’

’They must be the "poor" relatives Xu Yun’s family doesn’t interact with much, which is why they don’t know his situation.’

Inside the Mercedes-Benz, once the two uncles had a true sense of Xu Yun’s power, they started making other plans.

The youngest uncle wanted to get his daughter a high-paying job at Xu Yun’s company.

The eldest uncle wanted to get a small project from Xu Yun to work on and make a nice profit.

「Meanwhile, at the State Guest Hotel.」

After resting for a while, Su Mu and the others also began to get ready in their rooms.

They touched up their makeup, changed their outfits, and checked on the gifts.

Once they were all finished, they set out together for the destination.

As the sun set, three rare luxury cars drove down Binjiang Road in the small county town, turning a shocking number of heads.

Tonight...

They all wanted to appear before Xu Yun, at his mother’s banquet, looking their most beautiful and in the highest of spirits.
