Chapter 214 The Young Lady and the Thug
Hanyueting.

Wang Ying was packing her luggage because she was about to go to the capital.

Jiang Manman chimed in, "Actually, you don't need to bring anything. I'll take you to Muchan; they have lots of clothes that suit you. As for other necessities, you have everything you need at home in the capital."

“There are a few things you’re used to using that you still need to bring. And you also need to prepare gifts for your two grandsons and your parents in the capital.” After Wang Ying finished speaking, she turned to Huo Yungui, who was sitting on the sofa playing games, and asked, “Did you buy toys for your two nephews when I asked you to?”

"I've bought it, I've bought it. I'll go get it after I finish this game."

Wang Ying ignored him and instead continued to ask Jiang Manman about the preferences of the Jiang family and Old Master Yan.

Jiang Manman said, "They lack nothing. My father-in-law likes fishing, and my dad will accompany him fishing for a few days. That will make him happier than any gift. As for my parents in the capital, sending some Chongqing specialties will suffice. I also have a younger brother. He visited Chongqing last time and couldn't stop thinking about many of Chongqing's unique products."

"Okay, I'll just prepare a little something first. As for the rest, we'll talk about it when we get to the capital. There are definitely more good things there than in Chongqing."

Jiang Manman nodded: "My flight is tomorrow morning, and I'll arrive in the capital around 10:30. I'll go to the Jiang family's house for lunch first, and then go back to my own home in the afternoon."

Wang Ying thought for a moment and said, "Your parents in Beijing know we're coming, right? Wouldn't it be too much trouble to cook for a large group of people at home? Or you could look at which hotel in Beijing is good, and we can book a meal there."

Jiang Manman said softly, "They all know you're coming and they're quite happy. Don't worry about cooking; we have three chefs and a bunch of servants at home, so they don't need to lift a finger."

Wang Ying paused for a moment, then said, "And there are cooks and servants too..."

Jiang Manman nodded: "In the capital, the Jiang family is considered a wealthy family."

"Holy crap!" Huo Yungui, who had just finished playing the game, suddenly looked up. "Little sister, I knew you had such a refined air about you. Turns out you were raised in a wealthy family. I thought the wealthy families in Chongqing were unattainable, but the wealthy families in the capital are just unimaginable..."

After saying that, he picked up his car keys and went out the door.

After driving for an hour, familiar with the area, Huo Yungui arrived at a well-known villa complex in Chongqing.

The assistant personally came out to escort him inside: "Our young lady has just finished her performance and is removing her makeup. Mr. Huo, please wait in the living room for a moment."

Huo Yungui gave a nonchalant "hmm," casually tossed his car keys onto the coffee table, picked up the couple's mug with his own cartoon portrait on it, and poured himself a drink.

Miss Lan emerged wearing a comfortable bathrobe and without makeup. Looking at Huo Yungui, who possessed a refined yet somewhat naive air, on the sofa, her tone softened slightly:
"I have a performance at the Karen Hotel tonight, why didn't you come? I remember giving you ten tickets, but I only saw Uncle Huo."

"It's not like I'm meeting my future wife, why bring so many people?" Huo Yungui suddenly remembered something, "There's a really handsome man with my dad, have you seen him? That's my brother-in-law, my own brother-in-law! I'll bring my sister to meet you sometime, my sister is incredibly beautiful too."

Miss Lan smiled as she looked at the man who was several years younger than her, her expression indulgent.
"I was away on a business trip for a few days, and I didn't expect you to find our sister. No wonder I was watching your live streams while I was away and found that you had stopped broadcasting."

Then he responded to Huo Yungui's words: "I've met your brother-in-law, and he is indeed extremely handsome."

Not only is she good-looking, but she also has an extremely high social status.

He was sitting in the first row at the time, with Uncle Huo on one side and the head of the Lan family on the other. During the ten or so minutes that Miss Lan was performing, he watched his father, who always wanted him to marry into a top-tier wealthy family, being extremely attentive to that handsome man, even more so than he was to his son.

Before she knew that the man was Huo Yungui's brother-in-law, Miss Lan even thought that her father had gotten close to some important figure again. As soon as the performance ended, she immediately went to find the head of the Lan family.

"I don't care who you've hooked up with this time, don't even think about me getting married into a political alliance."

"You wish," the Lan family head said with a complicated expression. "That person just now was the young master from the Beijing circle, and also... the son-in-law of the Huo family." The young master is the son-in-law of the Huo family? No wonder her father suddenly agreed to her relationship with Huo Yungui. But no matter how shocked she was, this was definitely a good thing for her.

Miss Lan looked at Huo Yungui and said, "Your sister is already married. When are you going to consider marrying me?"

"I came to pick up the toys I bought on your behalf, and you want to talk to me about marriage?" Huo Yungui shook his head. "What's so good about me? I've accomplished nothing, I can't give you anything, and we've been fooling around for years, haven't you had enough fun yet?"

Miss Lan said slowly, "At the hotel, Uncle Huo and my father were sitting together. They were already discussing our marriage. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be settled by the end of the year."

Huo Yungui looked like he'd seen a ghost: "How is that possible? With your Lan family's status, would your father marry you off to me without a dowry of at least 70 or 80 million? My family only has 20 million in savings, most of which is planned to be used to buy a house for my sister in the capital. What do I have to offer to marry you?"

"The bride price of 88,000 yuan is just a token," Miss Lan chuckled. "My dad doesn't care about these things anymore. When you come back from the capital, our two families will have a meal together, and you can be mentally prepared to marry me."

"I've seen poor guys relentlessly pursue rich and beautiful women, but I've never seen a rich and beautiful woman like you fall head over heels in love with a scoundrel like me..."

Huo Yungui muttered something to himself and dropped the subject:

Where are the toys?

Miss Lan clapped her hands, and her assistant immediately went back inside. Soon after, he pushed out a large cart of toys. Huo Yungui's eyes lit up: "Are they all limited editions from overseas?"

"It's all there, I won't let you lose face," Miss Lan said with a smile. "So many, it's not easy to carry them all. Do you need me to drive you home?"

"No need, I drove here specifically for this. I can just move the trunk later. I'll send you the price."

"It's not much money, just consider it a gift from my future aunt-in-law." Miss Lan avoided answering. "Where do you park your car? I'll help you move it."

“I’ll just run a couple more times. How can a woman like you do such rough work?” Huo Yungui said, but then her phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID—an unfamiliar number from the same city—thought for a moment, then answered, "Who is this?"

The other party spoke with utmost respect: "Hello Mr. Huo, this is a 4S store in the northern district of Chongqing. Your customized Bugatti supercar has been stored here for three days. When would you like to come and complete the transfer of ownership? Or, if it's convenient for you, please leave your address and we can deliver it to your door."

Huo Yungui exclaimed, "Oh! The latest Bugatti supercar? How much does it cost?"

"The contract price is 98 million, plus some additional fees, it's 109 million," the other party replied respectfully. "However, the payment has already been made, you only need to complete the transfer of ownership."

Huo Yungui abruptly hung up the phone.

"Don't scammers do background checks anymore? I don't have more than three hundred in my account, yet they say they have a hundred million?" He grabbed the car keys from the coffee table and went to get a box of electronic toys.

Miss Lan had also overheard the call. Initially, she thought it was a scam, but her gaze fell on his car keychain. Besides the key to Huo Yungui's old Volkswagen that his father had passed down, there was also a very cool car key pendant.

Miss Lan's gaze fell on another car key: "Bought a new car?"

"It's just a car key toy, a gift from my brother-in-law." Huo Yungui didn't take it seriously, picked up the electric toy, and strode away.

Miss Lan: "..."

Could a car key given by the heir of the most prestigious family in the capital be just a toy?
How could she have fallen for such a simpleton!
