"What's it called, Maserati... Yes, it's called Maserati, and the car's name even includes something like 'President'."

“With such an expensive luxury car, bought by her son-in-law, how could Taozi not drive it! But she has driven this car for several years and has become attached to it! She is reluctant to sell it, and leaving it for too long will easily cause it to deteriorate.”

"So they suggested that I drive this car. You tell me, as parents, how can we not share the burden for our children?"

"Since Peach has asked, I have no choice but to reluctantly keep the car for myself."

As Xue Sumei spoke, Lan Caiping, like an ancient rebel army wielding spears and swords, encountered a modern army carrying rifles and cannons, and was instantly routed by a dimensional reduction attack.

"Yes! Yes! Sumei, you did the right thing. As parents, we should share the burdens of our children."

"Hey! Who messaged me? Let's stop chatting for now, I need to reply to a message first."

As he spoke, he glared at Xue Sumei with hatred, then pretended to lower his head and fiddle with his phone, refusing to say anything more.

Xue Sumei smiled, not caring at all; the show wasn't over yet!

……

Xue Sumei drove all the way to the Dongshan Villa District. Lan Caiping looked at the houses outside the window and asked in surprise, "Sumei, what are you doing here!"

"I heard that the villas here cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan each. They're not something ordinary people like us can afford. We can only look at them and leave them alone."

Xue Sumei said, "So expensive! Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for one building. Ping'er, you have such a broad perspective."

Lan Caiping said with a hint of pride, "That's right, I've seen a lot too."

Suddenly remembering something, he asked.

"Sumei, isn't it strange? Your car drove in just now, and the security guard didn't stop it. I heard that the security in the villa area is very strict, but it seems that it's not as good as our neighborhood!"

She smiled smugly and opened her mouth as if to say something more, but then she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She opened her eyes wide and said, "Sumei, your son-in-law wouldn't..."

Xue Sumei pretended not to see her reaction and said naturally, "My son-in-law has a villa here, and he and Taozi live here."

Lan Caiping felt incredibly resentful and jealous, and wanted to turn around and leave, but she held back. She couldn't afford to lose face; leaving now would be no different from fleeing in disgrace.

The car entered the villa, and Xue Sumei greeted Aunt Liu before leading Lan Caiping on a tour.

Looking at the luxurious villa in front of her, Lan Caiping felt both jealous and heartbroken. Her daughter Weiwei was just as good, so why didn't she have Taozi's good fortune?

She finally met a boyfriend, who was also the company's vice president, but then something happened, leaving Weiwei with nothing and all her hard work for nothing.

She didn't know about Li Wei's situation, and Lan Weiwei didn't tell her the details, only saying that her boyfriend had gotten into an accident and they had broken up. This left her feeling resentful for a while, unaware that Lan Weiwei had escaped a terrible ordeal.

After walking around the villa, without mentioning how envious and jealous Lan Caiping was, he had to pretend to be completely indifferent on the surface.

When they arrived at the master bedroom on the first floor, Xue Sumei opened the door and let Lan Caiping in.

"Ping! What do you think of this bedroom?"

Lan Caiping thought to herself, "It's not yours, what's with the attitude!"

But their eyes lit up. This bedroom was not only spacious and beautiful, but also had a bathroom, a walk-in closet, and a small study. It was practically as good as a house in someone else's home.

She couldn't help but praise, "Great, really great! Your son-in-law and Peach have excellent taste; the place they're staying is truly wonderful."

Xue Sumei said with a smile, "This bedroom is mine. Taozi and her husband are upstairs."

These words struck Lan Caiping like a thunderbolt.

"Yours...isn't this your son-in-law's house? How could it be yours..."

The resentment and bitterness in her voice when she said that were so strong they could almost be tangible.

Xue Sumei seemed completely oblivious, her smile widening even more.

"Yes! My son-in-law! He's been an orphan since he was a child. He married Taozi, and I'm the only elder in the family."

"He loves Taozi dearly and is also filial to me. He can't bear to see Taozi and me separated."

"When I bought this villa, the first floor was specifically chosen for me."

“My son-in-law said that from now on, this master bedroom is exclusively mine. I can come whenever I want and stay as long as I want.”

Lan Caiping suppressed her resentment and said through gritted teeth, "Sumei, I'm not trying to criticize you, but after all, it's your son-in-law's house. It's not appropriate for you to stay here all the time. You should give the young couple some space."

Xue Sumei laughed and said, "Who says otherwise! The old house is surrounded by our acquaintances and neighbors, it's so lively and bustling. It's hard to find someone to talk to here."

Lan Caiping said, "Yes, Sumei, what's so good about living in a villa? It's more comfortable to live in an old house."

Xue Sumei smiled and said, "My son-in-law also thought of that. He said, 'Mom, why don't you switch between the two places?'"

"If you're feeling lonely and want some liveliness, just stay at the old house for a couple of days; if you're craving peaches and want some peace and quiet, come over and enjoy a few days of tranquility, where a nanny will take care of you every day."

"I can stay wherever I want, wherever makes me happy."

"Tell me, since the son-in-law has said so, how can I disagree?"

"Ping! You need to be more discerning in the future. When you're looking for a son-in-law for Weiwei, you need to find someone like this: reliable, filial, and trustworthy!"

Lan Caiping endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. She picked up her bag and walked out.

Xue Sumei: "Ping! You're leaving so early. Aren't you going to stay for dinner? I'll see you off."

Lan Caiping gritted her teeth and said, "No need, I'll take a taxi myself."

Then, turning back, she said resentfully, "Sumei, thank you for such a good suggestion! I thank you properly on behalf of my Weiwei!"

With that, he snorted and walked out of the villa with his head held high, like a victorious soldier, showing no sign of losing face.

However, only she knew the frustration she felt inside.

After years of competing with each other, these two long-time "plastic" best friends have finally lost!

Chapter 96 Return

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. Li Mu has been quite busy during this time. Due to the high requirements for the construction specifications of the martial arts school, the amount of investment needed has naturally increased steadily.

In addition to buying land and acquiring shares, the company has now spent all 2.8 million yuan in cash from selling games and is preparing to cash out its shares.

The game operator has been doing well recently after acquiring two of Li Mu's mini-games, with its stock price rising steadily, up by nearly 40% so far.

The stock, originally valued at 4.6 million, is now worth as much as 6.3 million.

The promising market prospects have made this game operator a favorite among investors, and there is no shortage of people willing to take over its business.

After two weeks of negotiations, Li Mu sold the shares to an investment company for 5.8 million yuan, officially cashing out.

The transaction was very simple, without even needing to go through the stock market. Li Mu set up a wholly-owned subsidiary under Muwu Culture, put all the shares into it, and then sold the subsidiary as a package.

They cashed out and left without a sound.

……

On the other hand, the new Crystal Love held a shareholders' meeting and the board of directors was also adjusted. Originally, Li Mu was supposed to join, but he was too lazy to find work for himself for nothing.

Yang Tao, on the other hand, has seen her design skills improve dramatically over time, truly demonstrating remarkable design talent.

Therefore, with the best of the best, Yang Tao was directly appointed as the executive director of Crystal Love on Li Mu's recommendation.

Of course, my main profession remains that of a designer.

Yang Tao initially refused; she really only wanted to be an excellent designer, not an executive director.

However, since Li Mu insisted on it, there was no choice but to force him to do it.

However, once she actually sat in that position, Yang Tao instantly felt the difference. Her colleagues treated her much better, and all she saw around her were smiling faces.

Resources flowed into her hands automatically without her having to ask, and opportunities that ordinary designers dream of were opened to her.

It was only then that she realized that to become an excellent designer, talent and hard work are one aspect, but various resources and opportunities are equally important.

She made such rapid progress because she excelled in all aspects.

The "it smells so good" phenomenon helped her gradually accept her current identity and strive to become an excellent designer.

During this time, with Li Mu's support, Yang Tao also went to a well-known design school in France for half a year, which allowed her talent to be fully displayed and brought her closer and closer to her goal of becoming an excellent designer.

Yang Tao studied design in France for half a year. Not long after returning to China, Li Mu's martial arts school was also completed.

After so much time, their relationship had become completely stable, and the time was ripe.

Under Xue Sumei's anxious yet expectant gaze, Li Mu finally took Taozi to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate. There he met Guoran, but since neither of them knew each other, there was naturally no reaction.

After receiving their marriage certificate, Li Mu and Taozi walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, their arms around each other sweetly. Sure enough, watching their backs disappear into the distance, he felt a little empty inside.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. He was a staunch non-marriage advocate; marriage was a grave to him. Why would he envy others who were married?

He shook his head, banished the thought from his mind, and continued with his work.

The wedding and the opening ceremony of the martial arts school were held on the same day, and almost all the relatives were from Taozi's side. Of course, many of Li Mu's friends also came, and his former employer, Shangdong Club, also sent people.

Li Mu glanced at the congratulatory message and his gaze sharpened: "Youdao Group Shangdong Club, Beijing flagship store, congratulations Master Li..."

Youdao Group… Li Mu muttered to himself, “Why does that sound so familiar? Could it be Boss Bian’s Youdao Group?”

I used to be the head coach of Shangdong Club, which was owned by Boss Bian.

This left Li Mu completely dumbfounded.

It took me a long time to come to my senses. I thought I could meet the legendary Boss Bian if I had the chance, but I'd rather avoid any further contact, lest I scare him away.
