Chapter 301: I Have an Apartment Here
As the elegant silhouette of the Mercedes S-Class drove away, Qian Guimei shook her head and sighed. “Ruanruan’s boyfriend is really something!”
Lv Feifei shrugged, her expression slightly unnatural. “He really is. Honestly, I feel like Ruanruan might be... aiming a bit too high.”
Their family had just bought a new car two years ago—a Mercedes E300L—so they were well aware of the price of Tang Song's car. A fully loaded Mercedes S450L costs 1.4 million yuan on the road.
From their interaction with Tang Song, both mother and daughter could tell Qian Guimei wasn’t exaggerating.
As they walked towards the east gate of the residential area, Lv Feifei suddenly said, “Mom, do you think... Ruanruan and Tang Song can really work out in the end?”
Her thoughts weren’t baseless. Tang Song had left a deep impression on them during this meeting. Lv Feifei, having mingled in the financial world for years, was no stranger to men like him in her social circles.
Of course, most of them were second-generation heirs. Their personalities varied, but one thing was constant—they all had rich romantic histories and were never short of women around them.
Tang Song was only 25 years old, a flawless and young "tall, rich, and handsome" man. Successful in his career, wealthy, and generous to boot. Compared to 30-year-old Wen Ruan, the gap between them was apparent.
The uncertainties in their relationship seemed overwhelming.
As Ruanruan’s cousin who had been close to her since childhood, Lv Feifei was deeply worried. She knew Wen Ruan all too well and couldn’t imagine how devastated she would be if they broke up.After hearing her daughter’s analysis, Qian Guimei’s face also showed concern. “According to Guixiang, Ruanruan is planning to become a senior executive at Xingyun International Group's subsidiary. She doesn’t plan on getting married for at least the next two or three years.”
Lv Feifei frowned. “If that’s the case, their chances of making it aren’t looking good.”
After thinking for a while, Qian Guimei sighed. “I’ll talk to Guixiang about this later so she can prepare herself mentally and remind Ruanruan. She’s not young anymore—she really can’t afford any delays.”
“Hmm.” Lv Feifei nodded.
Their aunt Qian Guixiang’s family had faced tough times over the years.
Although Wen Ruan was about to become a high-level executive, an unmarried and childless woman of her age faced significant challenges in the workplace. There was always a risk of being replaced.
Their constant urging for Wen Ruan to find a partner was more about securing her future.
As they exited the east gate of the community, their eyes landed on the Mercedes S450L parked by the roadside.
“If Ruanruan can’t let go, she should at least find a way to secure some guarantees,” Lv Feifei whispered. “Tang Song is generous and wealthy. It would be best if he could help pave the way for her career.”
Qian Guimei’s eyes lit up. “That’s actually a practical idea.”
She was a businesswoman herself and could see things clearly.
Judging from Tang Song’s financial capability, he must have assets worth tens of millions. If he genuinely wanted to help Wen Ruan, there were plenty of ways he could do so.
After all, having a reliable and tangible guarantee often brings true peace of mind.
The two got into their Mercedes E300, set the navigation, and followed behind Tang Song’s S450L as it drove towards Qiaoxi District.
The interior of the Mercedes S-Class was cool and quiet.
After a few questions about Tang Song’s work and life, Qian Guixiang began talking about their destination—an apartment Wen Ruan’s uncle, Qian Chengjun, had just bought for his son, Qian Mingfeng.
When mentioning Shengyuan Scenic Residence, Qian Guixiang spoke with a mix of emotion and envy. Although she had remained calm during her sister-in-law Wang Fenger’s video showing off the new apartment, she had felt a deep sense of bitterness.
The unfinished demolition project that had plagued their family remained a thorn in her side, making them especially sensitive about housing.
Shengyuan Scenic Residence was a well-known high-end community located in the heart of Qiaoxi District. Adjacent to a park and metro lines, with three commercial streets within a one-kilometer radius, it boasted mature community facilities and lush natural surroundings.
Its tranquil environment in a bustling urban area made it one of the rare communities in the city with a villa section, attracting affluent residents.
Hearing Qian Guixiang’s words, Tang Song glanced at Wen Ruan and saw a hint of envy in her eyes.
It’s normal for people to have desires.
Knowing Wen Ruan’s love for life and enjoyment, he had learned a lot from her two close friends and had Huiguang Decor renovate the townhouse to match her tastes.
He was confident it would not only satisfy her but also leave her deeply touched.
Moreover, it would bring an immense sense of awe to her parents.
With that thought, a delighted smile spread across Tang Song’s face.
About 20 minutes later, Shengyuan Scenic Residence came into view through the car window.
Although the community was over a decade old, the buildings were well-maintained. The design combined the simplicity of modern architecture with the warmth of traditional styles. Large dark glass windows and natural stone exteriors gave the buildings an elegant appearance.
Checking the group chat, Qian Guixiang smiled. “Tang Song, there’s a paid parking lot outside the south gate. There should be spaces available—you can park there.”
Tang Song slowed down and turned slightly to ask, “Auntie, which building is your brother’s new apartment in?”
Qian Guixiang hesitated briefly before answering, “Building 11, Unit 3.”
“Got it,” Tang Song replied, driving directly towards the south gate.
Soon, the grand white gate of the community came into view.
Tang Song smoothly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the entrance.
Qian Guixiang hurriedly said, “It’s fine, Tang Song. We can walk from here. I heard the community is very strict about letting in outside vehicles. If we go on foot, we should enter from the east gate.”
“No worries, Auntie. It’s too sunny out. Let’s just go straight to the underground parking lot,” Tang Song replied with a smile.
“But the car...” Qian Guixiang started to protest, but before she could finish, the barrier gate at the entrance lifted, and the car drove directly into the community.
“Uh...”
All three passengers froze, momentarily at a loss for words.
Tang Song skillfully turned the car and drove smoothly into the underground parking lot.
The surroundings instantly darkened, illuminated by brilliant lights.
Qian Guixiang, stunned, muttered, “What’s going on? Outside cars can just enter like that?” The rightful source is NoveI(F)ire.net
Wen Ruan's heart skipped a beat as she watched Tang Song skillfully navigate the underground parking lot. She seemed to realize something.
She knew her boyfriend well.
With 15% of Xingyun International Group’s shares and his close connection to Su Yu, his net worth must be far beyond her imagination.
Tang Song drove steadily, his tone relaxed. “It’s nothing, Auntie. I happen to have an apartment here at Shengyuan Scenic Residence. My car is registered with the property management, so it can enter directly.”
“Huh? Oh... that’s great,” Qian Guixiang exclaimed softly, fiddling with her gold bracelet, her mind spinning.
She remembered that Tang Song’s main residence was the large flat at Yanjing Tiancheng, worth over ten million yuan, in one of Yan City’s newest luxury developments. She had seen the photos her niece had posted in their family group chat, showcasing its lavish interior design.
But she hadn’t expected him to own a property at Shengyuan Scenic Residence as well.
Her knowledge of Shengyuan Scenic Residence was extensive—it was an established high-end community, particularly famous for its villas. Strictly speaking, it was the only residential area in the city center that featured villas.
Other villa zones were located in more remote areas and couldn’t compare to Shengyuan Scenic Residence’s convenient amenities. As a local, she had seen countless advertisements for the community on TV, billboards, and newspapers. Many renowned business figures lived there.
That’s why Wen Ruan’s aunt-in-law had been so excited to show off after purchasing a unit for her son.
In the Mercedes E300 following behind, Lv Feifei, sitting in the driver’s seat, braked suddenly and pulled over to the roadside.
Exchanging a puzzled glance with her mother, she asked, “How did Tang Song’s car get in directly?”
“I don’t know,” Qian Guimei replied, shaking her head in confusion. She pulled out her phone and said, “Let me ask.”
Lv Feifei nodded, maneuvering the car into a commercial parking lot.
A “ding-dong” notification from WeChat sounded.
Qian Guimei glanced at her phone and felt her lips twitch. “Well, no wonder—Tang Song owns a property here.”
“Wow,” Lv Feifei muttered, shaking her head with a mix of awe and resignation. “His wealth is even deeper than we thought. I don’t know whether to call Ruanruan lucky or what.”
Her work in financial consulting had exposed her to numerous wealthy individuals.
Men like Tang Song—calm, mild-mannered, and unassuming—were rarely just moderately rich; they were often from families with immense wealth and influence.
She truly doubted whether her cousin Wen Ruan could handle a man like him.
The Mercedes S450L came to a stop outside Building 11, Unit 3. Tang Song carefully parked in a spot that wouldn’t block others.
As the car doors opened, the group of four stepped out.
Qian Guixiang still felt slightly dizzy, her thoughts racing.
Tang Song gently reminded her, “Auntie, why don’t you call Uncle and ask him to send down the elevator?”
“Oh, sure, sure!” Qian Guixiang snapped back to reality and quickly pulled out her phone to dial.
“Hello, Chengjun! We’re downstairs now.
“Yes, Building 11, Unit 3. That’s right.
“We’re entering the lobby now; the elevator will be here soon.
“Alright, see you in a bit.”
Hanging up the phone, Qian Guixiang’s heart raced wildly again. Her future son-in-law was truly impressive.
When they reached her nephew Qian Mingfeng’s apartment, she might even get the chance to show off a little herself.
Qian Guixiang, who had lived a lifetime of ups and downs, had never felt this excited. Years of pent-up emotions bubbled, ready to burst forth.
Looking around the opulent underground entry lobby, she suddenly had a bold thought:
Ruanruan might end up living in this community one day!
When that day came, she’d be the one sending her sister-in-law videos all the time!
