242 Leaving the Slums
Seeing that her precious daughter was so frightened that she did not dare to speak, Sun Ling quickly stood up. “How can you scare your sister? Can you blame your sister for talking nonsense? The fundamental reason is that the behavior you show makes it easy for others to think that way. Tell me now, how much is that car of yours?”
At this moment, facing Sun Ling’s question, Shan Yue found the payment slip from the receipt and looked at the price on it. “It’s alright. It’s not very expensive. It’s only more than 40 million.”
“How… How much? More than 40 million.” Sun Ling could not even hold back her expression at one point and was about to laugh. “You don’t have a fever, do you? You even bought a car for more than 40 million. You can’t brag like this.”
Shan Yue looked at Sun Ling’s inexperienced appearance and acted very calmly. She just reached out and handed the receipt to Sun Ling. She took it and looked at the price on it. “Six, seven, eight. It’s a full eight figures. It’s really more than 40 million.”
After Sun Ling confirmed the true price of the car, not to mention her and Shan Xing, even Shan Chen, who had been silent just now, seemed to have been greatly shocked. The concept of money he had for many years was shattered. He covered his mouth with both hands and could not believe the truth in front of him.
“Where did you get so much money?” Sun Ling’s mouth fell open. The sudden news made her unable to speak clearly. “You spent more than 40 million yuan to buy a car. Do you know how much more than 40 million yuan is? How did I give birth to a prodigal child like you? More than 40 million yuan is enough to buy all the residential buildings in the slums. In the future, we’ll only collect rent every day. Our family won’t have to worry about food and drinks for the rest of our lives.”
“There’s no need to look so surprised. This will only make you look even more ignorant.” Shan Yue did not care about leaving any dignity for her mother, who valued money more than anything else in front of her. “Since I have more than 40 million yuan to buy a car, it proves that I don’t care about this bit of money. Besides, I earned it through hard work. I can distribute it however I want. If you can earn so much money, I don’t care how you spend it.”
“Hmph, you really don’t have to care about so much money. You spent it without even blinking.” Shan Xing suddenly said, “How quickly do you earn money? You can just take off your clothes and get it.”
Shan Yue frowned slightly, and a chilling gaze flashed across her eyes. The pressure was emitted from within. “This is already the second time. If it happens again and again, I won’t tolerate you again and again. I just don’t want to argue with an idiot like you. The next time you say such things, it will be the time my slap lands on your face. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Perhaps the ferocity in Shan Yue’s eyes intimidated Sun Ling, who quickly moved Shan Xing’s arm, indicating for her to stop talking.
“And I don’t know if you usually watch the news.” Shan Yue’s cold eyes calmed down, and her eyebrows parted slightly. “There’s a building under construction in the central city of the Federation. It’ll be completed in less than half a month.”
“I know, I know. One time, I saw a special report on television when I was watching the news.” Shan Chen quickly told her what he knew. “I saw the Shan Corporation written on the roof of that building. At that time, I was very puzzled. I didn’t expect there to be a big family with the surname Shan in Federation City. However, compared to us, our family’s situation is really much worse.”
“There’s nothing to hide now, so I might as well tell everyone.” Shan Yue smiled and said in a relaxed tone, “I’m the chairman of the Shan Corporation. That’s my first company in Federal City.”
Before everyone could react to the news that Shan Yue had bought a car for more than 40 million yuan, another huge piece of news was unacceptable to the three of them.
Although Sun Ling had never seen the world, she was the first to recover. “Since you’re the boss of such a big company, won’t we also benefit from it? You must have also bought a house in the central city of the Federation. When can we move there? We can leave this slum.”
