Chapter 165: Chapter 135: Where Did Dad Go? (3)
He really couldn’t understand why these people looked down on Gao Yuan.
Just because you’re rich, does that mean you have to drive a fancy car?
Behind the crowd, a woman watched the direction Gao Yuan was walking and covered her mouth in shock.
The Tesla was her car. When she arrived today, she had been surprised to find a Bugatti parked here.
So she had purposely parked next to it, hoping for a chance encounter with the owner when she left. She had even thought for a moment that it was Wang Sichao’s car.
"CHIRP."
Two brilliant beams of light flashed in front of the club entrance.
They shone directly on the crowd, causing people to instinctively raise their hands to shield their eyes from the blinding glare.
At that moment, Gao Yuan opened the door and got into the Bugatti.
"VROOM VROOM VROOM."
The Bugatti’s massive roar echoed throughout the club’s grounds.
As the black Bugatti slowly pulled out, everyone felt their breath catch. The car had an incredibly powerful presence, especially in the dark. It was like being stared down by a ferocious beast.
When it reached the crowd, the black Bugatti stopped.
The window rolled down, revealing Gao Yuan’s face inside.
"See you."
Just those two simple words. Gao Yuan raised the window, and the Bugatti sped away with a roar.
"So cool!"
A few voices rose from the crowd, though it was unclear if they were calling Gao Yuan cool, or the car.
Wang Zhixian said nothing, simply turning and walking back toward the banquet hall.
Now that Gao Yuan had left, she had no desire to stay at the birthday party any longer.
This event had been organized just to invite Gao Yuan. Her real birthday party had already been held that afternoon.
"Brother Wang, shall we head out?"
Someone next to Wang Sichao spoke up, and only then did he realize it was time to head back.
He had been genuinely surprised when Gao Yuan drove up in that Bugatti.
As a top-tier, second-generation heir who loved cars, Wang Sichao knew a great deal about them. The moment the Bugatti stopped in front of him, he could tell it was special.
’That’s the Bugatti Voice of the Night!’
This car was built by Bugatti in 2019 to celebrate its 110th anniversary and was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.
’There’s only one in the entire world!’
At the time, it was sold for an astronomical price to a mysterious tycoon. Later, Wang Sichao found out that it had been bought by Bugatti’s deputy design director.
It was essentially an internal purchase by the company.
’I never expected it to show up here today, and for Gao Yuan to be the one driving it.’
This forced Wang Sichao to completely re-evaluate Gao Yuan’s background, and he began to regret giving him the cold shoulder at the party.
’You can find women to fool around with anytime, but you don’t get the chance to befriend someone like Gao Yuan every day.’
Looking again at the woman beside him, Wang Sichao suddenly found her tacky and plain. His interest in staying had all but vanished.
’Still, it’s a good thing I already have his WeChat. It’ll be much easier to build a connection in the future.’
Meanwhile, Gao Yuan returned to Tangchen First-class. After parking the car, he couldn’t help but admire it.
’So damn cool!’
’Xiao Xiao has good taste. I never really liked the Bugatti’s original white and blue color scheme. A man needs to drive a black knight.’
Gao Yuan didn’t know this was the famous "Voice of the Night." He just thought Xiao Xiao had it custom-modified.
In reality, Xiao Xiao hadn’t bought the car; it was a gift.
A wealthy tycoon from the Middle East, one of Xiao Xiao’s pursuers, had given it to her for her thirtieth birthday.
Xiao Xiao had quite liked the car, but after learning its price, she immediately transferred the money for it to the tycoon.
He knocked on the apartment door.
The door opened quickly. It wasn’t Xiao Xiao who opened it, but Xiao Yu.
Gao Yuan glanced at his watch. It was almost eleven o’clock, and the little girl was still awake.
"Still not in bed?"
"Going right now."
Xiao Yu gave Gao Yuan a silly grin, then turned and ran toward her bedroom.
Entering the living room, Gao Yuan saw Xiao Xiao sitting and drinking tea. "Why is Xiao Yu up so late today? Doesn’t she have school tomorrow?"
"She does!"
"She insisted on waiting for you to come back. What could I do?"
Xiao Xiao said, pouring Gao Yuan a cup of tea.
She wasn’t drinking regular tea at night, but a brewed herbal tea for wellness and detoxification.
"You didn’t drink today?"
"I didn’t know them well, so I didn’t feel like it."
The two of them sat in the living room chatting, while Xiao Yu was already tucked into her bed.
With her eyes closed, Xiao Yu thought about the "uncle" she had met these past two days.
It was the first time she had ever seen her mom bring a man home, and it was the same uncle she’d met at the Jay Chou concert.
This made her intensely curious about Gao Yuan.
When she was little, she would always ask her mom where her dad was. Her mom told her that her father had passed away.
From then on, she knew she didn’t have a father.
When other kids got out of school, their dads would be there to pick them up. Hers wasn’t.
Other kids had photos of their mom and dad together. She didn’t.
After singing and chatting with Gao Yuan yesterday, she found that this uncle was very nice and gentle with her. It all perfectly matched her fantasy of what a father would be like.
Last night, while drawing in the study, she had unconsciously drawn that fantasy scene, only the unknown father now had Gao Yuan’s face.
Today, she had overheard Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao talking about him having to go out for a social engagement. After dinner and a short workout with her mom, Xiao Xiao had originally told her to go to bed.
But she wanted to wait with Xiao Xiao for Gao Yuan to come back.
The pot of tea tonight was also Xiao Yu’s idea. She had asked her mom to brew it, worried that Gao Yuan might have been drinking and could use some when he got home.
As she thought about all this, Xiao Yu drifted off to sleep with a sweet smile on her face.
Gao Yuan drank two cups of tea and told Xiao Xiao about the gathering today.
When Xiao Xiao heard the name Wang Zhixian, and Gao Yuan mentioned she was Wang Sichao’s cousin, a certain person came to Xiao Xiao’s mind.
She had some dealings with this person, but since Gao Yuan was currently based in Hang City, it wasn’t particularly relevant.
It wouldn’t be too late to introduce them once Gao Yuan decided to expand his work to Shanghai.
After chatting for a while and confirming that Xiao Xiao would return to Hang City with him tomorrow, Gao Yuan carried Xiao Xiao back to the bedroom.
This time, after washing up, the two didn’t have another thousand-round battle. After all, living just one floor apart wasn’t that great of a distance.
Besides, Xiao Xiao wanted to take things slow and steady; she had no desire to wring Gao Yuan dry all at once.
