Chapter 1744: Chapter 647: She Actually Agreed to Let Him... (Super Chapter Requesting Subscriptions)

Since both his eldest aunt and fourth aunt’s families drove their cars into the courtyard, the gate was shut.

He didn’t go down to open the door himself; instead, he took out his cellphone and called his dad, Zhang Huaimin.

At the moment, Zhang Huaimin was playing mahjong with his two brothers-in-law and a big brother-in-law.

Today his hand wasn’t great, but he wasn’t upset at all, always wearing a hint of an inexplicable smile.

And the others at the table didn’t think anything was amiss, as Zhang Huaimin was the one who made the least money among them—in the past, he didn’t dare breathe heavily while speaking in this house, let alone get angry.

As soon as he heard his cellphone ring, his heart stirred, and he casually took out his cellphone.

Zhao Liang, Zhang Jingdong’s fourth uncle, who was sitting next to Zhang Huaimin, was anxious to win as he had just reached the winning posture.

Seeing Zhang Huaimin about to answer the phone, he was a bit anxious: "Who is it? Can’t you answer it after this round?"

Uncharacteristically, Zhang Huaimin ignored him and directly answered the call: "Hello, son, where are you?"

As a true father-and-son relationship demonstrates, Zhang Jingdong knew his dad had started acting as soon as he heard this, and he immediately replied: "I’m at the gate, could you come open it? I’ll drive the car in."

"Sure, sure... I’ll be right there!"

After hanging up, Zhang Huaimin nonchalantly said: "Jingdong drove over, I’m going to open the gate for him."

Zhao Liang didn’t notice the word "drive" and subconsciously thought Zhang Jingdong had come by bicycle, saying casually: "The small gate is open, he can just push through it."

Zhang Huaimin patiently replied: "He didn’t ride a bicycle, he drove a car!"

After saying this, he didn’t waste any more words with them and directly went out of the living room into the courtyard.

Once Zhao Liang heard this, he and the others became intrigued.

Came by car?

When did their family have a car?

Lin Huiqin and the others had already finished preparing the dishes and came to the living room, so they all heard this.

Zhang Jingdong’s eldest aunt, Lin Huiru, then said: "Old Three, what’s going on? Did Jingdong rent a car to drive back from the provincial city?"

Lin Hui shook her head with a smile: "No, forgot to tell you, Jingdong did some business in the provincial city and then bought a car himself."

Once she said this, the lively living room suddenly turned quiet.

Even Zhang Jingdong’s eldest cousin, Wang Liang, who was seriously playing a game, paused it.

Shortly after, Lin Huiru asked: "Jingdong did business? What kind of business can he do when he’s just started college?"

Although Lin Hui was instinctively a bit nervous facing her elder sister’s inquiry, she quickly regained her composure. After all, her son’s money and car were real.

So she calmly replied: "I’m not too clear. He seems to have started some clothing brand online, and then a sort of entertainment and real estate company."

Lin Huiru and the others couldn’t believe it upon hearing this.

After all, they watched Zhang Jingdong grow up and knew his capabilities.

Though he was admitted to West University, a 985 school, it seemed impossible for a freshman to set up so many businesses in Jiangdu within a year.

Moreover, Lin Huiru even mentioned he started a real estate company, which was simply too exaggerated!

But just then, Zhang Huaimin opened the gate, and they saw a very trendy, obviously expensive black Land Rover Range Rover driving into the yard.

The cars from Lin Huiru’s family were the Guangben, Zhao Liang’s was a Hyundai, and Zhang Jingdong’s second uncle, Lin Shengguo, drove a second-hand Audi A6—all were rendered insignificant by this grand Range Rover.

Although Lin Huiru and Zhao Liang still didn’t entirely believe Zhang Jingdong was running a big real estate business in the provincial city, they did understand he might indeed be in business and had earned a considerable amount of money.

Further, they felt the car was probably not rented by Zhang Jingdong, since renting it for a day would cost hundreds, and if he hadn’t made money in business, he definitely wouldn’t dare rent such a luxury car.

Then every single one of them, including Zhang Jingdong’s grandpa and grandma, came to the courtyard.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong felt that the car he spent around two million on had instantly earned back at least ten million in value.

And Zhang Huaimin and Lin Hui also felt for the first time that their son’s hefty spending on this car was truly worthwhile, appreciating his foresight!

At this point, Zhang Jingdong turned off the engine, got out of the car, exchanged a glance with his dad, and then walked up.

"Grandma, Grandpa, I’m back!"

Sometimes you can’t say elders are materialistic, but when a young family member succeeds, they naturally treat them entirely differently.

Just like Zhang Jingdong’s grandpa, Lin Guanshun, now.

Though he had treated this grandson rather well before, he obviously had his own sons and grandchildren, and the conditions in his other daughter’s family were better than Lin Hui’s, so his feelings towards Zhang Jingdong were never the closest.

But now...

His gaze at Zhang Jingdong was not just filled with happiness but also pride.

"My eldest grandson’s back... good, good... come inside!"

"Alright, take it slow!"

Since he’s junior, naturally, Zhang Jingdong wouldn’t act arrogantly, so he proactively helped his grandpa into the house.

After sitting for barely two minutes, Lin Hui couldn’t help but ask: "Jingdong, I heard your mom saying you did big business in the provincial city?"

Before coming, Zhang Jingdong had already prepared to put on quite a show, ready to earn his parents some face.

Seeing his eldest aunt actively supporting him, he replied: "It’s not really big business, just started a group company."
