Chapter Forty-Two: What? So This Is the Legendary Ferrari?

Touching his lips, Yang Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
“What a silly girl,” he muttered.
After taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaofan turned and walked out of the airport. Outside, clustered around his Ferrari, stood several young women, all strikingly attractive. Though it was already October, their outfits were still quite revealing—denim shorts so short they were almost nonexistent, faces thick with makeup, all dressed like assembly-line internet influencers.
An ordinary man might have been unable to resist approaching them, but Yang Xiaofan had no such inclination. With his hands in his pockets, he spoke calmly,
“Would you mind not taking photos here?”
The women glanced at him, instantly sizing up his outfit—cheap, unfashionable, from the street market—and responded irritably,
“We’re just taking pictures. What’s it to you?”
“Exactly. Who asked for your opinion? Mind your own business.”
Yang Xiaofan narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I’m being polite, but you seem to have trouble understanding simple words. Let me say it one last time—get lost.”
The girls immediately bristled, faces turning cold.
“Why are you yelling? Who do you think you are?”
“This isn’t your car. Look at you, all dressed in bargain-bin clothes, trying to act like some big shot. Your yearly salary couldn’t even buy a tire on this car.”
Yang Xiaofan couldn’t be bothered with these fools. He simply took out his key and pressed the unlock button.
In an instant, the girls were struck dumb with shock.
Yang Xiaofan got straight into the car. As he pressed the ignition, the Ferrari roared to life with a thunderous growl.
Snapping out of their stupor, the girls scrambled to the window, plastering on fake smiles as they fawned,
“Hey, handsome, so this is your car? Mind if we add you on WeChat? Maybe we can hang out some time.”
“Handsome, I really like your car. If you’d take me for a drive, I’d do anything for you.”
“You…are you even worthy?”
Yang Xiaofan sneered, put on his sunglasses, and floored the accelerator. The car shot off like a red bolt of lightning, vanishing around the corner in an instant.
The influencer girls were left stomping their feet in regret.
“This is all your fault! We just lost a great sugar daddy!”
“Oh please, you were the one mouthing off the most!”
“Come on, who was the first to look down on him and insult him?”
“Let’s just beat her up together!”
…

Yang Xiaofan, of course, had no idea that he’d just sparked a brawl among a few internet celebrities in the airport parking lot.
Behind the wheel of his Ferrari, he sped down the highway, feeling on top of the world.
This time, coming home, his parents would surely be overjoyed.
And his two little sisters—when they found out how wealthy he was now, they’d be absolutely stunned.
Thinking back, he remembered how, in order to earn living expenses, he hadn’t even come home for the entire summer break. The last time he’d returned was half a year ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The life of the poor was truly difficult.
With a sigh, he dialed his mother’s number.
“Hello! Bro, are you on your way home?”
It was Xiao Qing, his younger sister, who answered. She must be on break for the National Holiday, which explained how she knew he might be coming home.
“Are you sneaking mom’s phone again? Did you finish your homework? All you do is play—have your grades dropped?”
As the eldest, Yang Xiaofan couldn’t help but lecture his little sister.
But Xiao Qing wasn’t about to back down.
“Hmph! I’m not sneaking it. Mom gave it to me and told me to wait for your call. As for my grades, hehe… I just ranked in the top ten of my class in the monthly exams!”
Hearing her proud tone, Yang Xiaofan scolded,
“You barely made it into the top ten and you’re already so complacent. Look at Xiao Yun—she’s been top of the whole grade every month. Why don’t you take after her?”
“I don’t want to work that hard. As long as I’m in the top ten, I can get into a decent university. That’s good enough for me.”
“You—!”
Yang Xiaofan was left speechless by his sister’s attitude.
“Never mind, I won’t waste my breath. Where’s mom?”
“Mom and Xiao Yun went out to buy wheat seeds.”
“I told her not to do farm work anymore. Why is she still buying seeds? What about the hundred thousand yuan I sent her?”
“She didn’t touch a cent of your money. She said you’re already over twenty and will get married after graduation. She wants to save up, add your money, and help you with a down payment on a house.”
“She…”
Yang Xiaofan was at a loss for words, his eyes suddenly stinging.
His mother—the one who gave him life and raised him—even with money in hand, refused to spend any on herself, saving it all for him.
Still thinking of working to help him with a house down payment.
“Sigh! Alright, I’ll be home in about two hours. We’ll talk then.”
“Okay, should we come pick you up?”
“No need, I’m driving myself.”
“Driving?”

On the other end, Xiao Qing seemed to sense something and raised her voice in surprise.
“Whose car are you driving? Don’t tell me you bought one yourself?”
“Of course.”
“Wow! Our family got a car? Hahaha, that’s awesome! Did you get a JAC or a Chery? Maybe a Great Wall? Or is it a Geely?”
“….”
Yang Xiaofan was speechless.
“You’ll see when I get home.”
“Hurry up then, I want a ride too!”
“Alright!”
Yang Xiaofan couldn’t help but laugh.
If his sister knew he’d bought a Ferrari, he wondered what her reaction would be.
After hanging up, Yang Xiaofan took a deep breath and focused on the road.
After all, this was the highway—it was important to stay alert.
After nearly two hours of driving, he finally exited the highway and returned to his hometown.
In a big city like northern Suzhou, a Ferrari would draw plenty of attention.
But in his small county hometown, it was even more of a spectacle.
Yang Xiaofan could clearly feel countless gazes fixed on him.
Following familiar memories, he drove into the village.
At the convenience store near the entrance, several elderly men sat chatting. When they saw the car, they couldn’t help but peer at it curiously.
“My, what a strange-looking car. What kind is it?”
The store owner, a young man, glanced over, his face flushing with excitement.
“Damn, that’s a Ferrari! There’s actually a Ferrari in our village. Whose family is this from?”
The old men looked puzzled.
“What’s a Ferrari?”
“It’s a super expensive sports car, really famous! That one car is worth several million. You could buy ten homes in town for the price of it.”
“Come on, Xiao Wang, don’t scare us. That car’s so tiny, it’s not even as long as my son’s Volkswagen. How could it be worth so much?”
Xiao Wang looked at them with disdain.
“Second Uncle, your house is the biggest in the village, right? Could you even sell it for three hundred thousand? A decent house in town goes for nearly a million. How could you compare your Volkswagen to a Ferrari?”
