Chapter 212: Chapter 151: Do They Look Good?
As long as she didn’t get involved in the deal or profit from it, it was fine.
Xiao Yu was absolutely thrilled because she was going to a party with them this afternoon.
She was getting an extra half-day of fun this week, and on top of that, she had a "dad" for the day!
Gao Yuan didn’t interfere much with Xiao Xiao’s methods and attitude when it came to raising Xiao Yu.
Xiao Xiao had her own way of thinking, and he didn’t want to argue with her about it.
But if it were his own child, Gao Yuan thought, he would want them to have a good childhood—to let them play to their heart’s content when it was time to play.
Once they’d had their fill of fun, they’d be able to settle down and focus when it was time to learn.
Sometimes, a child needs a parent’s encouragement to study. Other times, it comes down to their own initiative. When something finally clicks for a child, they’ll start learning on their own without anyone needing to push them.
The efficiency of that self-motivation is something parental nagging could never hope to match.
At three in the afternoon, the family of three left the house with their Sheltie.
The club was in the suburbs, a drive of over forty minutes. They would get there just in time for the party to start.
By the time Gao Yuan and his family arrived at the club, there were still a dozen or so minutes before the party officially began, but the atmosphere was already buzzing.
He and Xiao Xiao, holding Xiao Yu’s hands, walked toward the white building next to the racetrack.
The entire way there, they passed one luxury car after another.
Gao Yuan saw three Lamborghinis, two Porsche 911s, and plenty of other cars like Rolls-Royces and Bentleys.
The car Xiao Xiao had shipped over for the event was a McLaren P1. Including the Cullinan they drove there, the total value was over twenty million.
Before the three of them even reached the main venue, they saw a crowd up ahead, their attention captured by a McLaren P1 being unloaded from a transport.
As one of the "Holy Trinity" of hypercars, it was naturally destined for the most prominent spot at the event.
A red Ferrari LaFerrari and a Porsche 918 were already parked there. With the addition of Xiao Xiao’s McLaren P1, the party had managed to gather the complete Holy Trinity.
The red Ferrari LaFerrari belonged to Li Xiyue and was currently valued at over thirty million.
And the Porsche 918, as it turned out, was also Li Xiyue’s.
These were the two personal flagships of the supercar club’s founder, a clear testament to Li Xiyue’s influence and wealth.
The white McLaren P1 was positioned between the two red hypercars, immediately attracting a swarm of beautiful women who wanted to take pictures with it.
’These women are really going all out,’ Gao Yuan thought as he watched from a distance.
It was winter, after all. And while Shanghai wasn’t as cold as the northern regions, people were still bundled up in overcoats or light down jackets.
But some of the women posing for photos were shrugging off their coats to reveal short skirts and pale legs. They really weren’t afraid of the cold!
"Like what you see?"
"Nice..."
Gao Yuan was about to say "Very nice," but he caught Xiao Xiao’s teasing, knowing smile and quickly changed his tune. "So... cold! We should hurry inside!"
Xiao Xiao just smiled.
It was Xiao Yu who piped up, "Mommy is the prettiest one today."
Then she glanced around before turning back to Gao Yuan. "And Daddy is the most handsome!"
Her words made both Gao Yuan and Xiao Xiao laugh. The little girl already knew how to spread the love around.
As soon as the three of them stepped inside, a man walked up to them.
He was a middle-aged man, probably in his late thirties.
"Xiao Xiao, you’re a little late today."
"I’ve been looking for you ever since I got here."
The man was overly familiar, his attention focused solely on Xiao Xiao. He offered Gao Yuan and Xiao Yu nothing more than a brief nod and a faint smile.
"You’re as humorous as ever, President Zhang."
Xiao Xiao replied politely.
"This is my husband and my daughter."
This President Zhang was one of Xiao Xiao’s many suitors.
Clearly, Xiao Xiao wasn’t interested in him. By openly introducing Gao Yuan and Xiao Yu, she was tactfully telling him that she was taken.
But President Zhang was clearly not ready to give up. He glanced at Gao Yuan, then at Xiao Yu, and asked Xiao Xiao with a puzzled look, "I heard that Xiao Yu’s father..."
"President Zhang, watch your words!"
Before President Zhang could finish, Xiao Xiao’s expression turned cold.
Her previous politeness to everyone was just a matter of basic courtesy.
She had already tactfully rejected him several times, which was her way of allowing him to save face and not embarrassing him too much. To think he would dare bring up such matters in front of Xiao Yu today.
This instantly made Xiao Xiao’s expression freeze over.
’Just a minor building materials supplier, and he really thinks he’s something special.’
"President Zhang, I hear you’re in talks with Shanghai First Construction about a partnership."
"As it happens, I’m on good terms with their chairman. Would you like me to put in a good word for you?"
Seeing Xiao Xiao’s cold expression and hearing her words, President Zhang instantly realized his mistake.
"I’ve been presumptuous! I’ve been presumptuous!"
"President Xiao, I won’t disturb your family of three any longer!"
President Zhang was a smart man; he apologized immediately.
He was also clever enough not to bring up the subject again. By directly referring to them as a "family of three," he was implicitly telling Xiao Xiao that he wouldn’t bother her again.
Xiao Xiao ignored him, and the three of them continued deeper into the venue.
As they walked, quite a few people—mostly men—came up to greet Xiao Xiao.
Gao Yuan could see that Xiao Xiao was quite popular at this supercar club.
