For a moment, the normally bustling residential square fell completely silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, the only sound being that of people gulping.

"Eighteen Yuan? My goodness..." an old auntie, who had been hard of hearing for half her life, called out with a tremor in her voice.

The female office worker was no longer calm. The fitness beauty stopped her leg stretches. The pregnant woman stood up. An auntie who had just come home from faking an accident promptly lay down right in front of Xia Liang's car.

"This old man has a daughter," the grandpa from before interjected, putting down his pipe and cupping his fists toward Xia Liang. "I'm not sure if I should mention it, but she is an absolute delight! You will surely like her."

"No, no, no, Auntie, Grandpa, you heard me wrong," Xia Liang hurried to explain. "It's... 17 milliliters, not 17 Yuan." Otherwise, this mob of aunties would carry him off, and the worst part was that he couldn't fight back.

"Young man, I'm ready to call you my son-in-law, so why are you treating me like a fool?" the hard-of-hearing old lady's words were shocking. She had already mentally claimed Xia Liang, and there was no escape!

She glared fiercely at the crowd, as if daring anyone to compete with her for him. This old lady was domineering. A fierce life needs no explanation.

"Auntie, in that case, why don't you give me your daughter's phone number?" Xia Liang said, seeing how forceful she was and hoping to use her as a shield to make his escape. Otherwise, how much of his precious DiDi-driving time would he waste?

"Hahaha, wonderful, wonderful! I've already written it down on this piece of paper. Here you go!" Auntie Wu laughed heartily, a hundred times happier than if she'd won at mahjong. "My future son-in-law, I must say, you have excellent taste. My daughter is practically perfect, aside from being just a tiny bit overweight!"

At the mention of Auntie Wu's "tiny bit overweight," two-hundred-pound daughter, Auntie Zhang and Auntie Wang couldn't help but shiver. Sister Wu really has some nerve!

"Xiao Fang, why aren't you back yet?" Auntie Zhang was getting anxious and quickly sent a message. "Forget about that blind date. Even if it works out, I don't like him. Hurry back!"

Sitting in her DiDi, Zhang Xiaofang frantically urged her driver on while constantly touching up her makeup. Her heart was pounding after seeing the photo her mom had sent on WeChat. That kind of luxury car, that handsome of a man... he was the Prince Charming from her dreams!

Xu Xiao Li was an office worker with a tall, slender figure and looks she'd rate an eighty out of a hundred. She was well-known as a goddess in her company circles. Her standards were sky-high, and thanks to her own excellent qualities, she often mingled with the wealthy. With several corporate bootlickers at her beck and call and a few rich heirs on a string, Xu Xiao Li lived a very comfortable life. But seeing Xia Liang today, she finally understood what a truly wealthy person looked like. A low-key, sophisticated, and handsome God of Wealth—he was the perfect boyfriend.

"Auntie, you must be tired after a long day of work," Xia Liang said as he walked to the front of his custom Hui Teng, spreading his hands helplessly at the woman feigning injury. "Please get up. I'm just a humble DiDi driver."

"No way! I'm not getting up today without at least a few Yuan," Auntie Yang declared. She had dominated the accident-faking market her whole life. There wasn't a car she couldn't lie in front of or money she couldn't extort.

Xia Liang was both annoyed and amused. A few Yuan? That was hardly a problem for him now. "Auntie, I'm afraid if I tossed a few Yuan on you, the weight alone might be enough to kill you."

"Young man, I don't scare that easily. Seeing as you look like an honest fellow, I'll give you a fifty-percent discount."

The words had barely left her mouth when a rolling pin smacked her right thigh.

"Yang Yufeng, you dare offer my future son-in-law a discount? I'll give your legs a discount!" Auntie Wu had produced a rolling pin from out of nowhere and whacked Auntie Yang's thigh with it.

"Wu Chunyan, you—!" Auntie Yang cried out, a sharp pain shooting through her leg. She stared at Auntie Wu's bulging, furious eyes and felt a pang of fear. This Wu Chunyan was not someone to be trifled with; she specialized in putting down all forms of defiance.

"Yang Yufeng, I'm giving you three seconds to get your butt up off the ground. My future son-in-law is a nice guy, but I don't have time to mess around with you," Wu Chunyan said before executing a perfect kip-up, landing solidly on her feet.

Xia Liang looked as if he'd seen a ghost, but the other residents seemed completely unfazed. Yang Yufeng can butcher a pig by herself; does she look like she needs help getting up?

Meanwhile, Xu Xiao Li was feeling extremely unsettled. Her personality was naturally passive; it had always been men fawning over her, never the other way around. Yet Xia Liang made her want to drop all her pretenses. If I could land a God of Wealth like him, I could block every single one of those so-called rich heirs on my WeChat!

Taking a few deep breaths, she mustered up her courage. "Excuse me... are you really a DiDi driver?" Her voice was so gentle it sounded like it had been cultivated through a decade of online relationships.

Xia Liang turned to look at her. She appeared to be around twenty-five, about 168 cm tall, dressed in a white OL blouse and a black miniskirt. She had a look that could be both sweet and commanding, certainly enough to catch his eye.

"Yep, my current job is being a DiDi driver," Xia Liang replied.

"Could I have your number? I take a DiDi home from work all the time. So I'd like to request you personally."

As the last words left her mouth, Xu Xiao Li felt a strange and unfamiliar blush of shyness. A God of Wealth like Xia Liang must be doing this to experience life. To catch him, I have to start with his job!

"Sure." Xia Liang pulled out a business card with his number on it and handed it to her. It was his work card; he had hundreds more in the car.

Xu Xiao Li took the card and immediately turned to leave, knowing her objective was complete. You can't rush these rich scions. You have to take it step-by-step!

Xia Liang was a bit surprised that she didn't linger, and his impression of her improved slightly.

Seeing Xu Xiao Li's success, the fitness beauty felt a pang of jealousy. Her own figure was also top-notch. Thanks to her regular gym workouts, her trademarks were her long legs and athletic physique. Looking down at her modest, tight-fitting long-sleeved top, she made a bold decision and ripped the collar into a small V-neck.

"Hey handsome, can I have your business card, too?" she asked, unconsciously puffing out her chest. "I go to the gym downtown a lot, and I always take a DiDi." I bet my figure can outshine anyone here!

"Uh, okay," Xia Liang said. Seeing another woman—this one sweaty from a workout—approaching him for a business card, he knew it was time to go. Otherwise, am I going to have to give away all several hundred of these cards? Won't that make me the exclusive DiDi driver for the Bichen Residential Area? His dream was to roam the entire country, not to be tied down to one neighborhood. He had to leave.

After getting the business card, Ye Shu was in high spirits. She took a few more secret glances at Xia Liang's car, already envisioning herself sitting in that luxury vehicle in the future.

Once Ye Shu succeeded, the floodgates opened, and everyone surged forward to ask Xia Liang for a card. His face darkened, and he shot a pleading look at Auntie Wu.

Auntie Wu employed her signature move, unleashing a Lion's Roar technique that seemed passed down for centuries, and froze the crowd in place. Those two young ladies were one thing, but you lot want a card too?

"Son-in-law, you go on ahead! I'll cover your retreat!" Auntie Wu shouted, pulling a carrying pole from thin air and planting herself in front of Xia Liang to block the crowd.

At that moment, Auntie Wu's image was just a long beard short of being Guan Yu himself, guarding a pass with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade. One matron guarded the pass, and ten thousand men could not breach it!

Xia Liang was so moved he nearly knelt. He decided then and there that he would definitely treat Auntie Wu's daughter to tea when he had the chance.

VROOM.

With a satisfying roar of the engine, the car sped out of the residential area.

"Phew, finally here," Zhang Xiaofang sighed, having just arrived at the neighborhood entrance and preparing to exit her ride.

Suddenly, an unbelievably luxurious custom Hui Teng drove out.

Zhang Xiaofang was completely stunned. That's the car! I've seen it before! One of the rich second-generation kids I'm leading on told me about it.

Her heart filled with an unusual urgency, and she prepared to get out and chase after it, but Xia Liang hit the accelerator and was gone in a flash.
