Chapter 386 - 386, Generously Gifting a Car
Wang Shuyao watched Chen Nan’s nervous expression and sighed gently, her eyes flashing with a complex look, "Chen Nan, Aunt knows you’re a good kid, but this time your mind was clouded by hatred. Otherwise, you would not have done what you did."
"This time, Aunt hopes you’ll truly learn from the lesson and avoid being so impulsive in the future."
Chen Nan nodded earnestly, gratitude shining in his eyes, "Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely not be so impulsive from now on."
Not only did Wang Shuyao forgive Chen Nan,
she also allowed Chen Nan to complete his own redemption.
Because if Wang Shuyao did not forgive him, he truly did not know how to make up for the sense of indebtedness in his heart.
Of course.
Even though Wang Shuyao had forgiven Chen Nan, he still felt a deep sense of debt and could only think of ways to gradually repay it over time.
------
After Chen Nan finished peeling a couple of cloves of garlic, Zhao Qian also arrived in the living room with red, swollen eyes and said in a deep voice, "Chen Nan, I can’t just watch my good brother be harmed by others without caring. Tell me, what can Uncle do for you?"
Chen Nan managed a smile and responded, "Uncle, you don’t need to worry about this matter. All you need to do is take good care of yourself."
"I’ve grown up too and know where the boundaries are in what I do."
Zhao Qian let out a quiet sigh. Chen Nan had grown up under his watch, and he knew this guy was just like his father in character; once he made up his mind, not even ten bulls could sway him.
Since he did not want him to get involved, the only thing he could do was to pray to heaven, hoping Chen Nan would quickly find the true culprit and obtain justice for his great brother!
Moreover, he could feel that, not having seen him for two years, Chen Nan had become even more composed and mature.
Especially those profound eyes, which seemed like a mist, were inscrutable.
An hour later.
Wang Shuyao brought six dishes and one soup to the table, all of which were Chen Nan’s favorites.
This touched Chen Nan deeply because no matter how busy Uncle Zhao was, he always remembered his preferences...
Just as the three of them sat down at the table to eat, a cry came from the bedroom once again.
"This little rascal always wakes up whenever he smells food," Wang Shuyao remarked with a smile, her face full of tenderness, "You uncle and nephew go ahead and eat; I’ll join you in a moment."
Zhao Qian replied with an ’okay’ and then took out a bottle of Wuliangye from the cabinet.
"Uncle, let me do it!" Chen Nan took the bottle from Zhao Qian’s hand, knowing it was not proper for the younger generation to allow the elder to pour the drinks.
That was the rule!
The rule Uncle Zhao had taught him when he was a child!
"Cheers!"
After filling their glasses, Zhao Qian raised his cup, and after the two of them drank together, he picked up his chopsticks and served Chen Nan many of his favorite dishes.
In the midst of grandfather and grandson enjoying their wine and conversation, Wang Shuyao also walked into the dining room with her son in her arms. When the little guy saw Chen Nan, he grinned and laughed again.
"Is this little fella always in such a good mood?" Zhao Qian expressed his surprise.
Wang Shuyao smiled and said, "Ever since Chen Nan arrived, this little guy is particularly smiley." Turning to Chen Nan she asked, "Would you like to hold your little brother?"
Chen Nan quickly shook his head, "Let’s forget it for now, maybe later!"
He rarely dreaded anything before.
But now,
he was quite wary of holding the little guy, afraid of inadvertently hurting him.
The little one’s arrival made the atmosphere even more harmonious, filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
In such an atmosphere,
Chen Nan and Zhao Qian couldn’t help but drink a few more glasses, the two of them polished off two bottles of Wuliangye and a case of beer.
By the time it was three in the afternoon, Chen Nan staggered to his feet. He let out a burp from the alcohol and said, "Uncle, Auntie, let’s call it a day for now. I’ll come over another day to mooch a meal."
Zhao Qian slurred, "Don’t leave today, stay over at the house!"
"No, Uncle, I’ll come another time and have a proper drink with you." Chen Nan was firm in his decision. He planned to meet with Wang Guodong; after all, he was the president of the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce. Just by asking, he could completely revive the Chen Group.
He couldn’t just watch his father’s company continue to decline.
Even if the company now belonged to Uncle Zhao,
he had to lead the Chen Group towards glory.
Zhao Qian shouted loudly, "Where’s the driver? Come on, drive, and take my nephew home."
"What driver do you have left? Keep it down, don’t wake the child." Wang Shuyao muttered irritably, then said, "You rest at home. I’ll drive Chen Nan back."
Chen Nan, his face flush, said, "Auntie, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I can just take a taxi home." As he said this, he fished the Mercedes car keys out of his pocket and turned to hand them to Zhao Qian, "Uncle, the Mercedes parked outside is mine. I can’t drive it now, so I’m giving it to you!"
Zhao Qian inhaled sharply, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief, "That Mercedes outside is yours?"
He had noticed that Mercedes when he arrived home, not only was the car’s performance outstanding, but especially the license plate number 77777, it was practically blinding.
However, he never dreamed that the car belonged to Chen Nan.
After all, such a license plate number wasn’t something just anyone could get.
Wang Shuyao, too, was filled with shock, her beautiful eyes wide; she had also noticed the car earlier and thought it was parked there by a neighbor from some villa community.
She hadn’t expected it was Chen Nan who had brought it.
"You once told me that a car represents a man’s face in the outside world, that having a good car can bring connections everywhere in business. Besides, the license plate number matches your cell phone number, so don’t refuse it."
Although Chen Nan also liked that deceptively humble Mercedes AMG, he had mentioned during a previous meal with Zhao Qian that he had sold his ordinary Mercedes S-Class.
It was for this reason that he was giving this luxury car, worth millions, to Zhao Qian.
"Then I’ll drive it for a while!" Zhao Qian didn’t reject Chen Nan’s kind gesture, knowing that driving this car could indeed bring him a lot of face.
Especially when the company’s performance was not doing well, it could definitely play an important role.
After all,
a license plate number like 77777 could really make people take notice.
"Uncle, you rest up, I’m heading out," Chen Nan said with a smile and then wobbled towards the exit.
"I’ll see Chen Nan out. You go rest," Wang Shuyao said tenderly, taking the car keys and following Chen Nan out. As he descended the stairs, she quickly stepped forward to help support him.
"Auntie, thanks a lot!" Chen Nan’s face broke into a naïve and honest smile.
Seeing his guileless smile, Wang Shuyao silently sighed. At this moment, she found it hard to believe that this simple fellow had previously forced himself upon her…
Snapping back to reality, Wang Shuyao said softly, "It’s a bit troublesome to hail a cab around here. Get in the car, I’ll drive you home, and let me have the pleasure of driving your car too."
Hearing this, a sly smile appeared on Chen Nan’s innocent face, "Didn’t you already take a ride in me before?"
