Billionaire God of War novel (Jiang Ning) novel Chapter 14

"Auntie, what were you chatting with my mum about?" Jiang Ning asked.

The auntie's face reddened and she waved her hands, "Oh nothing, nothing."

She quickly vanished after saying that. She had initially intended to poke more fun at Sumei's family since she had been scolded after they rejected the boy she introduced to them. But she didn't dare to anymore!

That boy working as a civil servant only earned four or five thousand a month. He'd probably never be able to drive such an expensive car in his life!

Sumei was just standing there in shock. Lin Wen's mouth was wide open too, and couldn't speak.

Neither of them could believe it.

"This car...”

Sumei took a deep breath. She thought Lin Yuzhen was kidding.

She didn't think Jiang Ning could afford it, and she also knew Lin Yuzhen really couldn't.

"Where's the scooter?"

Lin Wen realized Lin Yuzhen's scooter was missing and quickly asked about it. They had spent more than $2,000 on it.

"The car shop was having a trade in promotion, so we traded it in for a new vehicle."

Lin Yuzhen's face was all red because she was really terrible at lying. But Jiang Ning's face was very natural, and said this answer without batting an eyelid.

She nearly fell when she heard this.

Which shop allowed customers to trade a scooter for a BMW?

Lin Wen didn't believe it, neither did Sumei. They weren't stupid.

"Actually there was a lucky draw..." Lin Yuzhen tried hard to think of how to spin a realistic story, but she really couldn't lie.

"Jiang Ning bought it!"

She finally said it out. It was much easier to just tell the truth.

Sumei looked strangely at Jiang Ning, and she seemed to believe it.

This new son-in-law had surprised her from the first day he stepped into the house.

He had stood up for her and slapped Lin Feng, protecting their entire family from the very beginning. Even though she had not accepted Jiang Ning, but hearts were made of flesh after all.

"Alright, no need to explain to us.”

Sumei waved it off. Her heart felt much better after seeing how that irritating auntie had to shut up.

She looked at Jiang Ning seriously but didn't say anything. Then she pushed Lin Wen back to the house.

"My mum believed it?" Lin Yuzhen asked

softly.

"Does it matter?"

From afar he had seen how that auntie was clearly making things difficult for Sumei. So of course, he wasn't going to be polite in return and was going to get back at her for Sumei.

He wouldn't allow anyone to bully his mother-in-law either.

Jiang Ning said, "Come on, let's go home and eat."

Sumei's cooking was not bad. Or at least Jiang Ning thought so.

He had travelled round the world and had eaten all sorts of delicacies. He'd even eaten at places that cost a million dollars a meal, but he'd never eaten home cooked food.

When she saw Jiang Ning eat like he hadn't eaten in years, like a tornado going through the dining table, Sumei's eyebrow started twitching. She started wondering to herself, was her cooking really that delicious?

"Jiang Ning, let me ask you a question."

After so long, it was Lin Wen who managed to ask, "That car - did you really buy it?"

He still couldn't believe it. It cost nearly $500,000!

"Yup. It's just a car, no need to be all surprised," Jiang Ning spoke without even lifting his head. "Dad, after your legs get well I'll buy you one too."

This statement made the entire house go silent instantly.

Jiang Ning now looked up and saw helplessness and hopelessness on Lin Wen's face. Sumei's eyes were red and teary, while Lin Yuzhen sighed sadly.

"My legs..." Lin Wen laughed bitterly and shook his head.

There was no chance that he would recover. He was now a useless man. For the rest of his life.

"I know a doctor who's an expert in this area, he should be able to do something."

Jiang Ning's words made Lin Wen violently look up.

But then he thought about it more. Jiang Ning was a homeless man, what amazing person could he know? This guy seemed pretty honest, but he really loved to boast.
