After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 817 - 440: Driving a Luxury Car Back Home

Chen Feng liked hearing this. He and his family had already done enough for this uncle of his. In the future, whether his uncle would be happy depended solely on himself.

Zhao Xiaolan continued, "The couple now owes hundreds of thousands. They're tied together, and even if she wants a divorce, the debt must be shared. Besides, she's bringing along two kids with a bad reputation; only your uncle is willing to be with her and live a good life. She should come around and live honestly with your uncle from now on."

Of course, Chen Feng hoped so too, but human nature is unpredictable, especially with someone like Mao Xiaoling, whose tea art skills were well-practiced. Who knows if she truly intends to "settle down" and live an ordinary life with his "honest uncle."

After chatting with his mom for a while, first his dad, Chen Dayong, returned home, followed by his brother Chen Rui and his wife.

As soon as Chen Rui saw Chen Feng, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Ah Feng, is that Cayenne parked outside yours?"

"Mm." Chen Feng nodded. He had anticipated this question before coming home and hadn't planned to hide it from his family.

"Good boy, it really is yours." Chen Rui said excitedly, "I was wondering why there was a luxury car at the door, and you just happened to come home today. I didn't see the Buick you used to drive around. It is really yours. You bought it, right? Not borrowed?"

"I bought it. Financed purchase."

Chen Feng specifically emphasized that the car was financed, not to be modest, but to avoid a lecture from his parents. After all, for the older generation, buying a car for over a million bucks seems less practical than buying a house.

"Ah Feng, that car looks to be worth a million, right? Just how much money did you make?"

Chen Rui asked with a look of envy and curiosity.

"What?!"

As soon as Chen Rui mentioned that Chen Feng's car was worth a million, Zhao Xiaolan and Chen Dayong couldn't help but exclaim, looking at Chen Feng with shock.

Although they understood the concept of a luxury car worth a million, realizing their son had bought one made it feel unreal and a bit intimidating.

With a million, they could easily buy three houses in their rural area.

Before his parents could start scolding, Chen Feng quickly explained, "I bought the car primarily for appearances. After all, in Xiu Zhou, I'm somewhat of a boss, and sometimes I need to meet clients or negotiate deals. Without a decent car, people might look down on me, affecting the company's image and business.

You know, nowadays, many people judge someone by their appearance. When going out for business, the first thing they look at is the car you drive, the designer clothes you wear, the luxury watch you have, and so on. They're very superficial. If you're just an average employee or not doing business with others, it's different. But when dealing with others in business, you must pay attention to these things.

This car costs over 1.2 million, and it's not just me footing the bill. The company chipped in and also helped with the loan.

After hearing Chen Feng's explanation, the family seemed somewhat relieved. Zhao Xiaolan even swallowed back the words she'd planned to say.

His dad Chen Dayong, a bit wistfully, commented, "I really didn't realize that car at the door is worth 1.2 million. It's so extravagant and wasteful."

Chen Rui, his eyes glowing, said, "Dad, didn't Ah Feng just say? It's necessary for business. When you drive this car to meet clients, they'll view you more favorably. Even when dealing with government departments, having a car like that helps. It's just how society is now, judging by appearances. Driving a luxury car leaves the first impression that you're wealthy. Ah Feng, later, let me have the car keys. I want to take a spin and see how a car over a hundred thousand feels."

"Sure."

Chen Feng agreed readily. He wasn't particularly attached to the Cayenne, nor would he, like other men, compare his car to his wife, never to be lent out.

Especially since it was his own brother asking.

But his sister-in-law, Li Guihong, frowned and said, "Why are you driving such an expensive car carelessly? What if you scratch or ding it? Can you afford to compensate?"

Chen Rui, a bit disgruntled, replied, "I'm an experienced driver. How could anything happen?"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "The car's fully insured, scratches and dings are all on me."

Once Chen Feng said that, Li Guihong didn't say anything further.

Then, Zhao Xiaolan called over the two granddaughters, and they began their meal.

It was quite the family gathering today, three generations together. The father and sons originally intended to drink, but Chen Feng had to drive his mom to run errands afterward, and Chen Rui wanted to test drive the Cayenne. So, in the end, only the father, Chen Dayong, drank.

Chen Dayong didn't drink much, just a can of beer.

Chen Rui finished two bowls of rice in less than ten minutes before getting the car keys and head out excitedly to test the car.

Chen Feng ate more leisurely, having not tasted his mom's cooking in a while, he savored it, eating three bowls of rice while occasionally chatting with his parents, and soon half an hour passed.

After eating, his mom and sister-in-law cleaned up the tableware.

Chen Feng first took his luggage to the third room behind the kitchen where he stayed.

Inside, his mom had clearly tidied up, and it was very clean.

He washed up, then left the room and went to the front door, just in time to see his Cayenne coming from a distance.

Shortly after, the car stopped at the front door, and Chen Rui got out, handing the keys back to Chen Feng with a sigh, "Ah Feng, this car is really nice. It doesn't compare to mine at all, it's worlds apart. I don't dare drive it again, otherwise, I'll hate my Citroën even more."

Chen Rui still drove the Citroën Chen Feng "lent" him, which Chen Feng won in a raffle when he bought a house—a car worth about 200,000, not even a fraction of the Cayenne. The two are incomparable.

Chen Feng chuckled and said, "It's good that you think that way. Honestly, I'm quite reluctant to lend this car, only to you; otherwise, I wouldn't lend it to anyone else."

Chen Rui nodded, "That's true. Cars, outside of family, are best not lent out."

While the brothers were chatting, some neighbors came over, curiosity piqued, to check out Chen Feng's new car. Older folks may not know the car's value, but those younger or those with cars would recognize its worth from just the emblem.

Chen Rui, eager to show off, announced the price of Chen Feng's car, astonishing and impressing those around.

In their rural area, even though million-dollar cars existed, they were quite rare.

A few neighbors, somewhat acquainted with Chen Feng, enthusiastically surrounded him, asking about his business and how much he made annually.

Chen Feng grew weary quickly of these inquiries. Moreover, he really wasn't very familiar with his neighbors, having lived at school since high school and worked in Xiu Zhou after graduating college. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After a few perfunctory responses to these suddenly warm folks, Chen Feng excused himself, citing errands, and headed back into the house.
