Chapter 284: Chapter 152: Introducing a Man to Mrs. Liang, It Turns Out to Be?! (Interesting!)_3

Jiang Yilan’s face turned red as she hesitated for a moment.

She first glanced at Gao Jun and upon seeing his smile, she responded softly with an "Mm."

"That’s good," came the reply.

Just then, another woman’s voice emerged from the other end of the line, "Lanlan, are you guys getting ready to come back now? Could you help pick up Keke? She’s been unable to catch a ride, and I will cover the gas money, however much it is."

Jiang Yilan said, "Auntie, let me ask... my boyfriend."

"Oh, there’s no need to ask, can’t you make this decision yourself? If your boyfriend doesn’t want to do it, then find someone else. I’ll have Keke send you the address, okay?"

Afterward, Mrs. Jiang spoke apologetically, "Lanlan, sorry to trouble you, but Keke hasn’t managed to find a ride... Tell your boyfriend and I’ll transfer some gas money later, don’t let your auntie make a profit off it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yilan was clearly annoyed, "If I’m the one picking her up, why should you pay for the gas? Don’t always try to be the good person."

"Oh, we’re all family, let’s not fuss over it," Mrs. Jiang said awkwardly.

After ending the chat, Jiang Yilan received a message from her cousin Jiang Anke.

"Cousin, sorry to bother you."

As a college student, Jiang Anke certainly had better manners than her parent’s generation.

Jiang Yilan replied, "No problem, I can be there in half an hour."

Seeing this, Gao Jun asked, "Do you need to pick someone up?"

"I need to pick up my cousin, I’m sorry, Jun, but we will have to take a detour, and I’ll pay you for the gas," Jiang Yilan apologized.

"No worries, it’s a small matter. Are you counting gas money with me?" Gao Jun laughed, "Then what about all the times you take care of Yingying? Wouldn’t I owe you even more?"

Jiang Yilan smiled bashfully.

Gao Jun then became curious, "I noticed the look on your face when you were on the phone earlier, it seems you don’t have a good impression of that auntie?"

Jiang Yilan nodded, "My dad has an older brother and a younger brother, which means my eldest uncle and my younger uncle, both of whom have some status in the village. The eldest uncle is a village official, and the younger uncle is a businessman."

"My father is just an ordinary farmer with a straightforward and honest demeanor, and sometimes my uncles would boss him around with various family matters."

"Especially that auntie; she loves bossing my mother around the most."

Jiang Yilan continued with a hint of grievance, "That’s why I try to save some money and send it back home, so my parents can stand a little taller."

After hearing Jiang Yilan’s story, Gao Jun understood what was going on.

So, he remarked, "Then, I insist on taking the gas money."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yilan asked, "How much is the gas money? I’ll transfer it to you now."

"I never said I would take yours," Gao Jun chuckled, "I’ll claim the carpool gas money from your auntie for your cousin’s lift, so don’t you stop me."

Jiang Yilan suddenly grasped the meaning behind Gao Jun’s words.

It meant he was going to stand up for her.

She felt pleased and somewhat touched.

Jiang Yilan wouldn’t prevent Gao Jun from doing this, for his character and image meant he would handle the situation just right.

Moreover, over the years, she had endured ridicule from her eldest uncle’s and younger uncle’s families.

Especially the younger uncle’s family, who looked down on them despite making money in business.

Now, having a man stand up for Jiang Yilan should indeed be a joyful occasion.

Soon enough, Gao Jun arrived at Jiang Anke’s location according to the new directions.

At that moment, Jiang Anke’s eyes widened at the sight of the Mercedes G-Wagon before her.

It wasn’t until Jiang Yilan rolled down the window and called out to her cousin outside, reminding, "Anke, get in," that she snapped out of it.

Jiang Anke hurriedly got into the car.

Once inside, still in shock, she was stunned by the sight of the gifts on the backseat.

From the packaging, there were cigarettes like Jinling 95, Huanghelou 1916, and even bottles of Maotai nearby.

And several boxes of bird’s nest supplements.

Oh my god!

Though Jiang Anke didn’t recognize these cigarette brands or know how expensive they were, the deluxe packaging told her they were certainly costly.

At that moment, Jiang Yilan introduced, "Anke, this is Gao Jun, Jun."

Gao Jun also spoke up proactively, "Hello, my name is Gao Jun."

Jiang Anke finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly looked toward the driver’s seat, "Jun... uh, Brother-in-law..."

Unsure of how she should address Gao Jun, she glanced at Jiang Yilan and asked, "Sis, should I call him Brother-in-law?"

Jiang Yilan’s cheeks also turned red, "This..."

Gao Jun just smiled and said, "It’s okay, whatever you call me is fine, but I think Brother-in-law sounds better."

Jiang Anke noticed that Gao Jun seemed very easy-going, so she became curious, "Brother-in-law, what do you do for a living? Your Mercedes must be pretty expensive, right?"

"It’s alright, not more than two million," Gao Jun explained, "I just run a store."

Jiang Anke knew that it couldn’t be just any ordinary store.

Otherwise, how could he possibly casually drive a two million-dollar luxury car!!

She immediately turned to Jiang Yilan and started gossiping, "Sis, how did you two meet?"

Jiang Yilan became awkward, not knowing how to answer.

"Haha, that’s a long story," Gao Jun intervened with an answer, "It was definitely Yilan’s beauty that attracted me, and then I shamelessly took the initiative to get to know her."

At this remark, both Jiang Anke and Jiang Yilan burst into laughter.

With a few words, the awkwardness in the car dissipated.

Although Jiang Anke, as a senior in college, had not yet stepped out into the world,

she was well aware that having a wealthy boyfriend could help avoid many detours in life.

Thus, as they chatted, she grew more envious of Jiang Yilan.

Just then,

Jiang Anke’s phone rang.

Mrs. Liang’s voice came through the phone, "Keke, where are you guys now?"

"We’re not there yet, still on the road," Jiang Anke explained.

"Why so slow? Hurry up the driver," Mrs. Liang complained, "Is the person driving Yilan’s boyfriend? What kind of car is he driving that he’s so slow?"

When Mrs. Liang complained, Mrs. Jiang’s face turned dark.

She was about to argue when Dad Jiang, Jiang Weiguo, stopped her and whispered comforting words, "That’s just how she is, with that mouth of hers, let it go."

Jiang Yilan’s uncle, Jiang Weimin, chuckled and said, "Lanlan’s boyfriend, he couldn’t have learned to drive just for this visit, could he?"

Jiang Yilan’s eldest uncle, Jiang Weiqiang, took a drag from his cigarette and said, "It’s not bad for a young man to have a car these days, even if it’s just a BYD Qin, right Weimin? Not everyone can be as successful in business as you are."

"What’s the use of being successful in business? Our big brother has more clout in the village," the oldest and the third brother started praising each other, completely ignoring their second brother, Weiguo, standing beside them.

Meanwhile, their daughter, Jiang Anke, was burning with embarrassment. She felt her parents were making a fool of themselves.

She then explained, "Mom, stop, we’ll be home soon, it’s a luxury car!"

"What luxury car? If it can drive this slow, hurry up, hurry up, we’re waiting to eat," Jiang Anke’s mother, Wang Cuicui, complained once again.

At this point, Gao Jun remained calm.

He picked up speed.

It wasn’t because he was afraid of Mrs. Liang’s complaints, but because he was eager to stand up for Jiang Yilan.

Sure enough, the journey that was supposed to take two hours was completed in an hour and a half.

Jiang Yilan’s mother, Xu Hong, was the first to notice their arrival and immediately called out, "They’re back."

Mrs. Liang stood up and continued to complain, "They’re finally back. I have to see this so-called luxury car that Keke mentioned that can drive so slowly."

The uncle, Jiang Weimin, also walked out of the house, eager to see the fuss, "I want to see what kind of car it is too."

But as soon as he looked up, he was stunned.

"A Mercedes?"

"A G-Class?!"

Wang Cuicui might not know about the G-Class, but she recognized the Mercedes logo and was instantly surprised.

Jiang Anke saw her parents’ shocked expressions and immediately wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

Just over half an hour ago, they were aggressively criticizing, wondering what kind of junk car it was.

Now, they were the ones caught off guard.

Gao Jun got out of the driver’s seat, looked at everyone, and immediately identified the target of the forthcoming face-slap.
