Chapter 87: Chapter 86: We’re Doing a Spot Check

It was almost noon.

Gao Yuan’s mom had finished her checkup.

They didn’t wait around for the results; they could check them later on an app.

His mom hadn’t eaten all morning, so Gao Yuan drove her straight to Pang Donglai Angel City. Since he was back home, he wanted to treat his mom to a nice meal.

More importantly, Gao Yuan planned to buy his mom a few new outfits after their meal.

He was willing to spend lavishly on other women; it wouldn’t make sense to be stingy with his own mother.

「At that moment.」

At a highway exit in Xudu City.

A Brabus G900 pulled over to the side of the road.

Two women and a dog stepped out of the car.

"Qingqing, it’s so cold here!"

As Lin Wanyu spoke, her breath plumed in the cold air.

Even though they had put on what they thought were their warmest clothes before leaving, they still felt a chill after getting out of the car.

"It’s my first time here too. Northerners really have it tough in the winter!"

Li Mengqing held the Sheltie’s leash, letting it wander around a nearby patch of grass.

They had stopped because the Sheltie had been barking at them incessantly in the car.

It was the signal that it needed to relieve itself.

Once they finally got off the highway, the two quickly let the Sheltie out of the car.

After happily relieving itself, the Sheltie tugged on its leash, trying to scramble back into the car. Even a dog used to southern living knew how cold it was up north!

The Brabus G900 got back on the road and drove straight to the Xudu City High-Speed Rail Station.

After they arrived, the driver said goodbye to Lin Wanyu, who was in the back seat, and left.

He was Lin Wanyu’s father’s driver, and she had just borrowed him for the day.

Lin Wanyu would be driving for the rest of their trip in Xudu City.

"Wanyu, should we maybe give Gao Yuan a call?"

Li Mengqing asked Lin Wanyu, who was in the driver’s seat.

She felt that launching a surprise attack on him like this wasn’t a great idea.

"No calls. It’ll be more fun if we ’run into’ him by chance!"

Lin Wanyu immediately rejected Li Mengqing’s suggestion.

’I’ve already come all this way in secret. What’s the fun in calling him now?!’

’The whole point is for him to be surprised when he suddenly sees us.’

Besides, on the way there she had already looked up many fun places to go and good places to eat in Xudu City on TikTok.

Countless netizens had recommended that a trip to Xudu City wasn’t complete without visiting Pang Donglai Angel City!

Apparently, a lot of influencers with tens of millions of followers had even gone there to post about it. Since they had come all this way, how could they not check it out?

"You Ask my brother what he’s doing. We’ll head to that Pang Donglai Angel City everyone on the internet talks about and grab a bite."

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu started the navigation. With a roar of its engine, the Brabus G900 sped off toward Pang Donglai Angel City.

This car, driving on the streets of Xudu City, was truly eye-catching.

In a small city like Xudu, seeing a Porsche was a rare treat, considered the peak of luxury cars.

Although there were Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens, a Brabus G900, which was a size bigger than a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, was definitely a first.

A beautiful girl driving such a massive vehicle was especially attention-grabbing.

This made her even more of a spectacle.

When they got to Pang Donglai Angel City, they ran into a bit of trouble in the parking garage.

The car was so big and long that Lin Wanyu had a terrible time trying to park it.

Fortunately, a helpful staff member in the Pang Donglai Angel City underground garage patiently guided Lin Wanyu until the car was properly parked.

After getting out of the car, the two first placed the Sheltie in a dog crate at the elevator entrance.

Then the two, who were starving, took the elevator straight to the fifth floor.

Arriving at the dining area, the two discovered the food here was quite different from Hang City.

And it was so crowded!

You even had to wait in a long line to eat.

The two weren’t in a position to be picky, so they went to a rice noodle shop that seemed to have fast service and ordered two bowls.

While they were eating, Lin Wanyu saw Gao Yuan reply in the group chat.

"I’m out shopping with my mom."

She immediately showed her phone to Li Mengqing, her expression ecstatic.

"My brother is out shopping with his mom!"

"Isn’t that normal?"

Li Mengqing didn’t immediately get why Lin Wanyu was so excited.

"We’re shopping too!"

"We just got here and we can already ’run into’ my brother. This is great!"

Lin Wanyu put down her chopsticks and quickly replied in the group chat: "Take a picture. We need to do a spot check!"

"Don’t forget, he’s with his mom!"

"Are you still going to ’run into’ him?"

Li Mengqing’s words were like a basin of cold water poured on Lin Wanyu’s head.

It caused Lin Wanyu to freeze for a moment.

"Tch!"

"If I don’t say anything, who’s going to know I’ve been married!"

"I’m only in my twenties, I still look like a young girl, okay!"

It was only with a personality like Lin Wanyu’s that one could withstand such a blow from their best friend.

But the 28-year-old Lin Wanyu did look very young, especially in her current outfit—a short white down jacket and tight jeans. She could have passed for a recent college graduate.

"DING-DONG."

Gao Yuan replied in the group chat.

He sent a photo.

In the photo was a huge dining counter, with a chef standing in the middle, cooking.

Today, Gao Yuan took his mom to eat teppanyaki at Pang Donglai Angel City and had specially ordered two steaks.

He had taken plenty of girls out for steak, but this was the first time he had taken his mom.

While they were eating, his mom kept whispering to him that it wasn’t good and relentlessly asked him how much the meal cost.

Just now, Lin Wanyu had told him to take a picture for a "spot check," so he had simply taken a picture of the table in front of him.

Lin Wanyu looked at the photo on her phone. She could tell Gao Yuan was eating, but she had no idea where he was.

This photo was too generic to identify the location.

But this couldn’t stump the clever and quick-witted Lin Wanyu.

"Brother, where is this? It looks so delicious."

Seeing Lin Wanyu’s words, Gao Yuan could instantly picture the way she would say it and couldn’t help but smile.

"You little glutton!"

"It’s a mall in my hometown called Pang Donglai Angel City."

Just after he replied, Gao Yuan noticed his mom looking at him quizzically.

"Who are you chatting with?"

"Is it a girl?"

Gao Yuan was suddenly speechless.

Every time she saw him chatting with someone, the first thing she’d ask was if it was a girl.

If he dared to say it was a girl, her next questions would be: How old is she? Where is she from? What’s your relationship?

"An old coworker. A guy."

Gao Yuan replied irritably, put down his phone, and went back to eating.

In the rice noodle shop, not far from the teppanyaki restaurant.

Lin Wanyu’s eyes narrowed instantly.

"Qingqing, eat up! Hurry!"

Li Mengqing saw Lin Wanyu lower her head and start eating quickly. Confused, she glanced at her own phone and instantly understood.

So Gao Yuan was also at Pang Donglai Angel City.

’Doesn’t that mean we’re bound to run into him soon!’

The thought of meeting Gao Yuan’s mother, in particular, made Li Mengqing’s heart beat a little faster.

The two quickly finished their meal. As soon as they walked out of the rice noodle shop, they found a mall employee and showed them the picture Gao Yuan had sent.

After the employee confirmed the location where Gao Yuan was eating, the two of them put on their masks and found a spot to sit not far from the teppanyaki restaurant.

Their eyes were glued to the entrance of the teppanyaki restaurant.

Inside the teppanyaki restaurant.

Gao Yuan, eating with his mom, had no idea two people were outside lying in wait for him.

Holding his mom’s hand, the two walked out of the teppanyaki restaurant. Gao Yuan didn’t do as his mother suggested and go home after buying a few things at the supermarket.

Instead, he went straight down to the first floor.

This was where all the women’s clothing stores were clustered.

Of course, Pang Donglai Angel City couldn’t compare to places like Wanxiang City; there were almost no major international brands.

Gao Yuan had no intention of buying his mother any of those major international brands anyway.

His mother definitely wouldn’t be able to accept the prices. In her mind, an outfit costing tens of thousands of yuan was equivalent to her entire annual salary as a teacher.

As long as clothes were tastefully styled and clean, that was enough for her.

As for brands, she had never cared about them.

On the other hand, his mom didn’t know he had so much money now. If he really started spending like that, she would definitely nag him all the way home.

Arriving on the first floor of Pang Donglai Angel City.

Gao Yuan led his mom by the hand straight into the Ordos boutique.

The clothes here had all been updated with the new winter collection. The wool and cashmere materials were very suitable for the northern climate.

"Hello, welcome to the Ordos boutique."

Just as Gao Yuan and his mom entered the store, a sales associate approached them.

"I’d like to pick out some clothes for my mom. What are your new arrivals for this year?"

"The new collection is this way. Please, follow me."

The sales associate said, leading the two further into the store, not treating them any differently just because they were dressed plainly.

This was why the people of Xudu City loved Pang Donglai Angel City. Every staff member here was highly professional and wouldn’t judge you based on your clothes.

Just as Gao Yuan and his mom headed deeper into the store, two masked women entered the Ordos boutique.
