Chapter 177 Why bother?
"Okay uncle, I got it." Xu Wen nodded in agreement.

He wasn't nervous at all, he was just a little surprised.

After all, anyone would be surprised to suddenly hear someone around you reveal an unusual identity.

Xu Wen initially thought that Xia Ning's family was just an ordinary wealthy family.

His mother is a lawyer in a law firm and is mainly responsible for earning money; Xia Hai works in a public institution and while having a stable job, he can devote more energy to his family.

But now it seems that this family is not ordinary at all. Maybe the reason why Xia Ning's mother's career as a lawyer is so successful is because of her father.

After a brief surprise, Xu Wen stopped thinking about it.

After all, he and Xia Ning are just ordinary lovers now, and Xia Hai's identity has little to do with him.

He didn't have anything to ask the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau for help.

Xu Wen suddenly thought of Gu Xingruo's father, Gu Hong. Perhaps this man would want to get to know Xia Hai, or maybe they already knew each other.

From the time I started driving until now, the car has been very quiet.

Xia Ning didn't understand her father's behavior and didn't understand why he had to follow her back.

She was a little unhappy, so naturally she didn't speak.

Xia Hai always has a serious face and is taciturn, and Xu Wen will never take the initiative to start a conversation.

He thought this silence would last until he got home.

But when the car was halfway through, Xia Hai suddenly asked: "Have you ever driven a car before?"

Xu Wen knew why he asked this, probably because he thought he drove too steadily.

In his previous life, this was the successful experience he had gained from many years of driving for wealthy women.

But now, he would just say calmly: "No, I just got my driver's license today."

Who isn't a genius?

As soon as these words came out, Xu Wen noticed that Xia Ning's father's expression changed slightly, and he glanced over here.

Xia Hai didn't dwell on this question. He continued to ask, "Did you buy the car with your own money?"

He heard from his wife that Xu Wen's family situation was not very good.

Dai Guizhen is divorced and raised two children alone. It is impossible for such a family to afford to buy a car for her children.

He remembered that this Honda seemed to cost more than 100,000 yuan, which was not a small amount of money.

"During the holidays, I ran a cram school with my friends and made a lot of money." Xu Wen answered calmly.

He had only seen everything that was happening now on TV dramas in the past, where the father-in-law asked his son-in-law if he had a house or a car.

Now Xu Wen really has a car and a house.

The house was given by Gu Hong, and the car was just bought this afternoon.

Xia Hai's expression changed again.

Xu Wen guessed that perhaps he was quite satisfied with his two answers.

Before Xia Hai could ask the next question, Xia Ning, who was sitting in the back, interrupted him and said, "Dad, can you please stop asking? He just got his driver's license today. Let him concentrate on driving."

She knew that since her father asked Xu Wen to take him home, he must have a lot of questions to ask. She couldn't just sit there and do nothing, she had to help.

"It's okay, I think he drives quite steadily." Xia Hai made an excuse for himself.

After hearing this, Xu Wen laughed a few times in agreement.

He thought Xia Ning's father would continue to ask him some other questions, but they didn't speak until they reached the gate of the community.

The father seems to respect his daughter's opinion a little more than the mother, but this is only a relative respect.

Because if he really respected him, he wouldn't have gotten in the car just now.

Every time this happened, Xu Wen would think of the word Xia Ning once said to him, fake democracy.

It's quite appropriate.

After Xu Wen parked the car downstairs of Xia Ning's house, he got out with everyone.

This is how it works when driving your elders, and he understands this basic principle.

"No need to send us up. Just be careful on your way back." Xia Hai patted Xu Wen's shoulder, showing both concern and courtesy.

Xia Ning was a little unhappy when she heard this.

She hoped that Xu Wen could take them upstairs, and preferably stay for dinner. It would be even better if they could stay there directly.

Now she can only blame her father. If her father hadn't insisted on her delivering the gift, the two of them might have been cuddling upstairs right now.

"Okay uncle, I'll go back first then." After saying goodbye, Xu Wen reopened the car door and got in.

Since they had already ordered him to leave, there was no need for him to stay.

He noticed that Xia Ning seemed to be in a bad mood, and there was a look of loss in her eyes when she looked at him.

There is definitely no way to kiss or hug in front of the parents.

Xu Wen pointed to the mobile phone at his waist, indicating that she could talk on the phone if she had anything to say.

Xia Ning really got the hint, she smiled and nodded.

Xu Wen said goodbye to Xia Hai again and drove away.

Xia Ning looked at the white car going away, and her heart seemed to drift away with the car.

Because her father was still there, she had to quickly adjust her mood and prepare to go upstairs with him.

"He drives well. Now he can drive for his boss directly in the company without any problem." Xia Hai praised.

He had been observing all the way.

Xu Wen drove calmly and leisurely, and it was hard to imagine that this was his first day with a driver's license.

It is said that driving can best expose a person's true nature. Xia Hai was very satisfied with his performance today.

Along the way, Xu Wen drove very steadily and controlled the speed just right. He seldom stepped on the brakes. He basically calculated the distance in advance and slowed down slowly. This is the basic skill of driving for a leader.

Xia Hai once thought that he used to drive frequently and was an old hand.

But since it was Xu Wen's first day getting his driver's license, he could only assume that the kid had a naturally calm personality and was smart, so driving was very easy for him.

"How can you say he's a driver?" Xia Ning didn't like what her father said and retorted.

"You don't understand this, right? In the company, many drivers who drive for leaders are promoted very quickly. This is a position that trains people." Xia Hai patiently explained to his daughter.

Xia Ning didn't like listening to her father talking about these things, so she turned around and said, "Let's go home."

"You go upstairs first." Xia Hai refused.

Xia Ning was puzzled and turned to give him a questioning look.

The father said to her very calmly: "I have to go back to the office and drive the car back."

Xia Ning was speechless. She suggested, "Why not ask someone from your company to help you get it back?"

This time Xia Hai didn't explain, he just said three words: "You don't understand."

Then he turned and walked out of the community.

Xia Ning really didn’t understand, she just thought, why bother?
When Xu Wen returned home, his mother had already prepared dinner.

Smelling this familiar aroma, Xu Wen felt extremely at ease. He hadn't eaten his mother's cooking for a while and missed it very much.

He has been away from home for almost a month, and there are a lot more things in the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a lot of flowers and plants, and there was a fish tank in the corner of the living room.

It seems that during the time when his mother is not working, she is also finding things to do for herself. Xu Wen thinks this is a good thing.

"Are you back? Wash your hands quickly and come to eat." Dai Guizhen walked out of the kitchen.

"I understand." Xu Wen agreed.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his mother was much younger and in better spirits than when he was reborn. This person would look radiant as soon as he wasn't at work.

The money earned from some jobs should not be called wages, but should be called mental damage compensation.

After washing his hands, Xu Wen came to the dining table. Although there were only two of them, the dishes on the table were exceptionally rich.

His mother always felt that he was not doing well in school, and wanted to make up for it whenever she had the chance.

Xu Wen was also very cooperative and didn't put down his chopsticks until he couldn't eat anymore.

After dinner, the mother and son continued to sit at the dining table and talked about many things.

This was always the case in their family, and there was no rift between their mother and the two siblings.

But since she fell ill, Xu Wen hasn't experienced such a daily routine for a long, long time.

The warmth of the past finally returned to him.

At eight o'clock in the evening, his mother asked him to stay at home and have a good rest while she went to pick up Xu Ling from school.

This was a treatment Xu Wen had never received before, after all, he was a son.

But Xu Ling is different. Dai Guizhen is always afraid that she will fall in love too early, get into an accident, or be cheated by some gangster.

I have to pick her up from school every day.

"Mom, wait a minute. I'll go with you." Xu Wen also put on his clothes.

Since he returned home, he hasn't mentioned anything about buying a car.

He was looking forward to his mother and sister's expressions when they saw him buy the car.

"If Lingling saw you, she would definitely jump up to you happily again." Dai Guizhen recalled with a smile.

Xu Wen shook his head and denied: "This is not a childhood."

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Ling seemed to have indeed gone through that stage. She was particularly clingy to him every day, calling him "Brother, brother".

It’s a pity that these good times are gone forever.

Xu Wen took the elevator downstairs with his mother, and walked straight to the parking space when he got out of the door.

When Dai Guizhen saw her son walking in the opposite direction, she didn't react for a moment.

But she soon saw Xu Wen walk to a white car, open the door and wave at her: "Mom, come here quickly."

Dai Guizhen was still a little confused, but her feet moved before her head, and she subconsciously walked in the direction of her son.

When she got to the car, she asked, "Whose car is this?"

At this time, Xu Wen had already opened the passenger door for his mother.

"Mom, this is our family's car," he confirmed.

For various reasons in his previous life, he was unable to let his mother live a good life with him.

But it’s different now. Whatever other families have, they will have too.

Dai Guizhen looked at the brand new car in front of her and was a little afraid to get in. She was as helpless as a little child.

Finally, under Xu Wen's firm gaze, he finally sat in the passenger seat.

She touched the interior of the car and said in a trembling voice: "How much does this car cost?"

Xu Wen got on the driver's seat and replied, "It's not expensive, just over 100,000 yuan. I'll drive it first and then buy a better car when I have more money."

Dai Guizhen looked even more embarrassed after hearing this number.

In her impression, those who can spend hundreds of thousands to buy a car are all wealthy people.

Although she now lives in an apartment building, she seems to still be living in a rental house in the urban village and is not quite adapted to her current life.

Xu Wen noticed his mother's abnormality and took the initiative to comfort her: "Don't worry, Mom, this is the most suitable car for us based on our family's current financial situation."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Dai Guizhen said with concern.

She knew that her son was not the kind of person who would spend money recklessly, and she was confident in his work. She just didn't want her son to work too hard.

Just a few months after graduating from high school, life at home has changed dramatically because of him.

When others were playing, Xu Wen had already started to support a family.

"I got it, Mom." Xu Wen responded and quickly changed the subject.

He said that everything he did became convenient after buying the car.

It is also convenient for me to go to work and drive home frequently.

Dai Guizhen doesn't care about anything else. She is just very happy that her son can come home more often in the future.

As the two were talking, Xu Wen successfully arrived at the gate of Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. He had always walked there in the past, so this was his first time driving.

He arrived at around 8:10, but there were already quite a few cars parked in front of the school, all there to pick up students.

As soon as this child entered high school, he instantly became the little emperor of the family, and everything revolved around the little emperor.

These parents who drive outside early are the best example.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening. Xu Wenwen and her mother got off the car and waited at the school gate, which was already crowded with parents.

As the school bell rang, students in school uniforms came out of the school one after another.

These students are greeted by the National Day holiday. The first and second year students in high school have seven days off, while the third year students only have three days off.

Xu Wen stood at the door and looked around. It was already ten minutes past nine when Xu Ling slowly walked out.

Dai Guizhen’s description of “being very surprised and then jumping on me” did not happen.

Xu Ling just raised an eyebrow, and then asked in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"

Sure enough, this little sister is no longer fun once she grows up. She was more fun when she was a child.

"I came to pick you up." Xu Wen replied and then complained, "Others came out early, why are you so slow?"

"I've almost finished my homework. I'll finish it before I leave." Xu Ling handed the schoolbag to her brother.

Xu Wen took it and picked it up. The bag was very light and there was basically nothing inside.

He guessed that Xu Ling must not have paid much attention in class today and had been doing homework for the National Day holiday.

"Just pay attention in class and don't do homework in class." He taught as his older brother.

"I got first place in this monthly exam." Xu Ling gave an irrefutable reason.

"You win." Xu Wen gave a thumbs up.

The family of three walked forward while chatting, and then stopped in front of his car.

Xu Wen and her mother opened the door and went out naturally, leaving Xu Ling standing on the road with a confused look on her face.

This was what they had agreed on on the way, just to amuse her.

Xu Ling was stunned for a moment and then realized what had happened.

She also opened the back door and said in surprise after getting in: "Brother, our family is really rich now!"

"No, I stole the car." Xu Wen said nonsense with a smile.

Xu Ling looked at the interior of the car and felt it was fresh no matter how she looked at it.

"You're not really going to marry into another family, are you? This was bought for you by your father-in-law?" She also started to talk nonsense.

"Bullshit, I bought this with my own money, it's a new car." Xu Wen denied his sister's unfounded idea.

Xu Ling took a deep breath. The car was filled with the smell of leather and air freshener.

She rarely became serious.

"Just kidding, congratulations to your brother for winning his first car in life through his own efforts!"
