Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 678 Is this car really yours?
"Hey, is this the old bachelor uncle you mentioned before?" Zhao Manni noticed Li Guoqiang's gaze, turned slightly to the side, grabbed Chen Siya's hand, and asked in a low voice.

At the same time, a slight look of surprise appeared on her face.

She had heard some things from Chen Siya and thought that Li Guoqiang was a very greasy middle-aged man, or even a pervert, which was why he had never gotten married.

However, upon closer inspection, she discovered that Li Guoqiang not only looked very young but also had a very upright posture. Even on his somewhat ordinary face, he exuded a unique charm of confidence and charisma.

This doesn't look like a greasy middle-aged man at all!
This is exactly the kind of charming older man she likes!

"No! What nonsense are you talking about! When did I ever tell you that he was that kind of person?" Chen Siya immediately denied it nervously upon hearing this.

As she spoke, she kept an eye on Li Guoqiang's reaction, afraid that he might overhear what Zhao Manni was saying.

Although she wasn't afraid of Li Guoqiang, she was afraid of her mother, Li Guolan!
Given how much Li Guolan values ​​her younger brother Li Guoqiang, if she knew that she was talking about her uncle Li Guoqiang behind his back, she would definitely beat her severely with a stick.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down her spine. She quickly forced a sweet smile and said softly, "Um, Uncle, it's getting late. We still need to pick up my brother! Let's hurry up and go!"

"Okay, then say goodbye to your classmate!" Li Guoqiang nodded upon hearing this, then chuckled and said.

"Um, my classmate wants to hitch a ride home with us, is that alright?" Chen Siya paused slightly, then asked somewhat awkwardly.

If her mother, Li Guolan, were to come and pick her up, she wouldn't need to think about anything; she could just tell her directly.

But now it's her uncle Li Guoqiang's turn, and she doesn't even know what kind of car Li Guoqiang drives.

It would be a bit awkward if Li Guoqiang were driving his mother's electric scooter.

After all, she and Zhao Manni were already grown women. Although they were still slim, they were a bit overweight in the right places.

If it's just squeezing in with Li Guolan, that's fine, but squeezing in with Li Guoqiang might be a little embarrassing.

"No problem!" Li Guoqiang's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

He originally just wanted to show off in front of his niece and nephew, but now that there's a little girl in white, it's an unexpected delight!

"Okay, let's go then!" Chen Siya hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not ask Li Guoqiang what kind of car he was driving.

If Li Guoqiang really was driving her mother's electric scooter, then she would have no choice but to swallow her pride and try to get closer to her old bachelor uncle, Li Guoqiang.

However, wasn't her uncle always a sleepy and lazy person?
How come he suddenly looks so energetic, so upright, and even a bit handsome?

With this question in mind, she quickly grabbed Zhao Manni and followed behind Li Guoqiang, heading towards the driveway outside the school gate.

Normally, parents who come to pick up their children will park their cars in the parking spaces on both sides of the driveway.

Chen Siya's mother, Li Guolan, would always park in those electric vehicle parking spaces.

When she saw that Li Guoqiang was walking in the same direction as Li Guolan usually walked, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Since she started school, Li Guoqiang has never hugged her again.

Now, out of the blue, I have to squeeze in next to Li Guoqiang.

To be honest, she's not quite used to it yet.

However, no matter what, Li Guoqiang is her maternal uncle, her blood relative in this world.

Let alone squeezing onto an electric scooter, even if Li Guoqiang carried her on his back, there would be nothing to say.

What's more, this time, the uncle is actually quite handsome!
Just as she had mentally prepared herself for an intimate journey with Li Guoqiang, she saw him walk straight past the electric vehicle parking spaces and continue walking outside.

This made her pause for a moment, and then she was instantly pleasantly surprised.

Could it be that Li Guoqiang didn't drive his mother's electric scooter, but instead drove a car?
"Hey, Siya, don't you think your uncle walks with a lot of style? He looks just like a handsome uncle in a movie!" Zhao Manni said, her eyes shining as she walked. Suddenly, she tugged at Chen Siya's sleeve and then spoke.

"What? You wouldn't happen to have taken a liking to my uncle, would you?" Chen Siya raised an eyebrow and asked in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"No, no, I just think your uncle has a great figure. Look at his legs, his waist, his shoulders, what great proportions!" Zhao Manni shook her head, then scanned Li Guoqiang with her eyes, her tone full of admiration.

In her opinion, Li Guoqiang certainly has the looks to be a killer from behind.

If she were walking down the street and saw a tall, straight back like Li Guoqiang's, with his slender and powerful physique, she would definitely want to catch up and take a closer look!
Of course, what's a bit of a pity is that Li Guoqiang's face can only be described as rugged at best, and he doesn't resemble those pretty boys at all.

This is indeed not very popular with many young girls like her.

Fortunately, she wasn't a superficial person. She wasn't interested in those delicate pretty boys or those self-important but very naive young men at all.

She admires mature, domineering, confident, and capable older men.

To put it simply, they are those domineering CEOs.

However, Li Guoqiang can only be said to have an appearance and temperament that are somewhat similar to a domineering CEO, but his actual abilities are rather disappointing.

As far as she knew, Li Guoqiang was just working in a bar in Shenzhen and didn't earn much money in a year.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have missed hearing Chen Siya mention that Li Guoqiang had bought her something.

Just as she was feeling a little regretful, Chen Siya's gaze quickly scanned Li Guoqiang, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

You wouldn't know unless you looked closely; after seeing her, you realize that Li Guoqiang's physique seems to have changed somewhat.

Become more slender and well-proportioned, become more
"Alright, we're here. Get in the car!"

Unbeknownst to him, Li Guoqiang suddenly stopped and stood in front of a cool white luxury car, speaking softly.

"Uh..." Chen Siya was a little stunned by Li Guoqiang's change. When she heard this, she didn't react for a moment and almost bumped into him with Zhao Manni.

She wasn't involved. But if Zhao Manni, who was a generation older than her, had bumped into her, the situation would have been quite awkward!

"Siya, your uncle drives this kind of car?" Zhao Manni didn't know what Chen Siya was thinking. When she heard Li Guoqiang's words, she turned her head to look at the car and was suddenly a little startled.

Although she was a girl and didn't know much about cars, she could tell at a glance that Li Guoqiang's car was something special.

"No, Uncle, do you mean we should get in this car?" Chen Siya came to her senses and looked at the cool and stylish Panamera in front of her, feeling a little confused.

In her memory, her uncle Li Guoqiang was not exactly poor, but he wasn't very rich either; he was just slightly better off than the average person.

Therefore, she had always been a little puzzled as to why Li Guoqiang was still unmarried in his early thirties.

She didn't dare ask, much less speak, for fear of infringing on Li Guoqiang's privacy.

It's only been half a year since we last met, how come Li Guoqiang is driving such a nice car now?
"That's right! Didn't you just say you were in a hurry? Hurry up and get in the car, your brother is still waiting for us to pick him up at school!" Li Guoqiang nodded, then urged him seriously.

"Uh..." Chen Siya paused slightly, then turned to look at Zhao Manni. They could both see a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

After all, this is a small town in a third- or fourth-tier county, not one of those big cities.

Luxury cars like the Panamera, costing millions, are not exactly rare, though they may not be found at all.

Not to mention, both of them come from ordinary families, and for them, luxury cars worth millions are something they can only admire from afar and never touch.

Now, a million-dollar luxury car is right in front of them, looking so beautiful, and they can even get in and sit in it. It still feels a bit unreal to them!

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car!" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow when he saw that his niece and the big white boy hadn't moved, and then urged them with a smile.

After saying that, he opened the driver's side door, stepped out, bent down, and got into the car.

Upon seeing this, Chen Siya and Zhao Manni didn't have time to think much and hurriedly opened the back door and got into the car.

During this time, a very interesting situation occurred.

Because the Panamera has an armrest in the middle of the back seat, Zhao Manni, who got in from behind, thought she couldn't go over, so she ran to the other side to open the door and get in.

Li Guoqiang simply watched quietly, without offering any advice.

Because if you bring up this kind of thing, it will definitely make the other person feel awkward.

In that case, the best approach is to pretend you don't know.

After Zhao Manni got into the car and sat down, Li Guoqiang glanced at her and Chen Siya's equally reserved expressions in the rearview mirror, felt a slight smile to his face, then gently pressed the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and headed towards the primary school where his nephew Chen Siqi studied.

After a while, Chen Siya tried to resist, but ultimately couldn't resist leaning forward and resting her head on the back of the driver's seat, revealing a bun hairstyle and a pretty, cute face. Then, somewhat incredulously, she asked:
"Uncle, is this really your car?"

“Yes! I only bought this car a few days ago. Besides my parents, there’s your dad too. You’re the third batch of passengers.” Li Guoqiang nodded and then chuckled as he answered.

"So how much did you buy?" Chen Siya pursed her lips and asked with some curiosity.

"In total, it cost more than 160 million!" Li Guoqiang glanced at Chen Siya and then answered calmly.

"Wow, over 160 million! That's a lot!" Chen Siya's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Zhao Manni, who was eavesdropping on her conversation with Li Guoqiang, was also shocked by the amount.

As junior high school students, especially those who live on campus, they have long understood the importance of money and have a basic understanding of its value.

Normally, they would struggle to make ends meet with the few dozen yuan of pocket money they could earn each week, but now, upon hearing that Li Guoqiang had spent over 160 million yuan on a car, they were completely stunned.

Soon, through mental arithmetic, they calculated that the car was worth tens of thousands of times their monthly allowance.

In other words, this 160 million yuan is enough to give them pocket money for tens of thousands of months, or even thousands of years.

"It's alright! Your uncle even bought a house in Pengcheng. When you're on summer or winter vacation, just tell me if you want to come to Pengcheng. You can stay and play as you please." Li Guoqiang smiled and made a very generous promise.

Previously, he did not have that opportunity.

It's just that one luxurious duplex apartment, which has no fewer than eight bedrooms.

At that time, let alone letting Chen Siya go over to stay and play, even if he brings his parents, sister and brother-in-law, nephews and nieces, it would be more than enough.

"Really? Uncle, you're amazing!" Chen Siya's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

Zhao Manni, on the other hand, couldn't help but show a hint of envy on her face.

Both of them were familiar with Pengcheng, as it was right next to their city.

So they've always wanted to go to Shenzhen to have some fun and see the sights, but they haven't found a good opportunity yet.

One reason is that they don't have much money and are embarrassed to ask their parents for more.

Or it could be because they are still young, and traveling, especially to other places, might be unsafe for them.

Now, Li Guoqiang has bought a house in Shenzhen, which means he has a home in Shenzhen.

So as long as Li Guoqiang speaks up, Chen Siya's parents definitely won't object.

Just as Chen Siya was thinking that when she got home, she should definitely pour Li Guoqiang a cup of tea and properly show respect to this older, single uncle, Zhao Manni hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask:
"Uncle, can I go with Siya?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang did not answer immediately, but instead turned to look at Chen Siya.

Seeing this, Chen Siya quickly reached out and pulled Zhao Manni aside, then said somewhat irritably, "Hey, my uncle isn't your uncle, why are you meddling in this?"
