After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 224 - 223: Good Design Always Resonates
The next day, to better match Lu Liang, Su Wanyu wore glasses again, giving her a more mature air.
However, unlike the previous black frames, she switched to a pair of petite, gold-framed glasses, which imparted a restrained and cold beauty.
The glasses suited Su Wanyu's temperament well, as she usually came across as a distant beauty to those who didn't know her well.
Lu Liang watched her tirelessly trying on clothes and yawned, "Stop choosing, anything looks good on you."
"Really?" Su Wanyu couldn't help but ask repeatedly, the more she cared, the more concerned she became.
Lu Liang said jokingly, "Have some confidence, you are the Su Wanyu ranked 19th among the 14 high schools in Yangpu."
Su Wanyu gave him a stern look, the most ruthless method she employed to express dissatisfaction or anger.
"How about I help you choose?"
Unable to watch any longer, Lu Liang picked a denim knee-length skirt and a white shirt with letters, "How about this set?"
Su Wanyu's face was conflicted, "It looks nice, but it doesn't really suit these glasses; it's too schoolgirlish."
Lu Liang took off her glasses and threw them aside, "Why does a graduate student need to act so mature?"
"We need to hurry, or we'll be late."
"Alright~"
On the way to the restaurant, Su Wanyu murmured to herself: "Auntie, hello, my name is Su Wanyu, you can call me Su... or Yu, my parents call me that... that doesn't seem quite right."
Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle, "You've already passed your graduate entrance interviews; why so nervous?"
"Entrance exams are minor; if not passed, one can retake them. But a poor first impression is hard to change."
Su Wanyu's face was full of worry, the preemptive effect, although not always correct, was the most striking and largely determined the future course of interactions.
Seeing Lu Liang's teasing look, she suddenly became curious: "What would you do if you were meeting elders?"
"Doesn't your dad smoke too? Start with a few cigarettes, a couple of drinks, and maybe you'll become sworn siblings."
"..."
Su Wanyu was so annoyed she clenched her teeth, since her father and Lu Liang might indeed end up that way.
Meanwhile, Lu Liang's parents were also inquiring about Su Wanyu from Fang Shiyu.
"Yu is a really nice girl."
Fang Shiyu was not as articulate as Chen Jinchun, managing only to squeeze out that comment; he couldn't tell his aunt that compared to Li Manli, Su Wanyu was truly gentle.
In case his aunt asked who Li Manli was,
that could lead to serious issues, he was reticent, not dumb.
Near eleven o'clock, the private room door opened.
Su Wanyu decided to trust Lu Liang's taste and wore the white shirt with the denim skirt and a pair of white shoes.
Her outfit made her look like a college girl, either still studying or freshly graduated, giving off a sense of fresh charm.
"Uncle, Auntie, hello…"
Su Wanyu smiled, braced herself for introduction; her voice soft and sweet, her ears red from nervousness.
"Yu, come and sit next to me," the mother said with a beaming smile, while the father also showed a warm smile.
"How many people in your family?" "What do your parents do?" "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
A barrage of probing questions came, and Su Wanyu spilled everything like a torrent, leaving nothing unsaid.
Seeing that all was going well, Lu Liang took the opportunity to say, "I have to make a trip to Beijing this afternoon, and it might take some time; Yu, why don't you take my parents around for the next few days?"
Su Wanyu's pupils contracted, unaware of this plan, Lu Liang said with a smile, "I forgot to mention it."
Speaking, he called over Wen Chao and took out a set of property deeds, along with related documents and keys.
"Just bought it, haven't been over yet, if it's okay, take them to see the new house this afternoon."
Lu Liang then looked at Fang Shiyu, "Yu, you stay in Modu for a few days and drive for my aunt and uncle."
He arranged everything meticulously, Su Wanyu for company and Fang Shiyu as the driver.
Having both a car and a house meant they could stay as long as they liked, even permanently.
However, the old mother wasn't appeased.
She only had eyes for Su Wanyu.
Her parents were alive and well, running a factory back in their hometown, and both siblings owned property; their family circumstances were quite good.
A graduate from a prestigious university, beautiful and gentle, planning to stay on at a top university, such a girl was hard to find.
Why would the old mother bother about her wayward son?
Realizing he was superfluous, Lu Liang quickly finished his lunch, "Well then, I'll leave them to you, I'm off."
Under the table, Su Wanyu quietly tugged on his shirt, blinking her eyes to convey her reluctance and confusion.
Lu Liang chuckled lightly and touched her cheek. "Don't be so nervous, just treat it like you are hosting your own parents."
Su Wanyu's face turned as red as a cooked crab, and her mother's face showed a loving expression. "Go on and do what you need to."
Despite her strong reluctance, Lu Liang still left.
Very decisively, leaving her alone.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane arrived in Beijing.
Lu Liang boarded the hotel's shuttle, and his phone finally regained the mobile signal. Originally only having five members, the group "Family Doting Family" welcomed a new member.
"Wow~ Our group finally has a newcomer. Pretty girl, hurry and send your photo and a red packet," Lu Ya teased like a hooligan.
She was a married woman with a second child, with a careless personality, a typical bully for the innocent Xiao Bai.
Embarrassed, Su Wanyu could only send a red packet honestly, "Hello everyone~"
"Just got off the plane."
Lu Liang squinted his eyes, smiling, and used his group admin authority to kick out Lu Ya.
It didn't take long for her to rejoin via an invitation from her brother-in-law, raging, "You dare to kick me?"
Seeing that Lu Liang didn't respond, Lu Ya decisively spilled his secrets, which could also be dubbed Lu Liang's sorrowful history.
But it was mostly limited to childhood and adolescence anecdotes; after all, he was her little brother, and she couldn't really speak ill of him.
Lu Ya kept it appropriate,
intentionally letting Su Wanyu integrate more quickly.

Lu Liang arrived at Li Xiang's driving experience hall.
The day after tomorrow, a new car would be released, and the Li Xiang ONE was also showcased at the center of the experience hall.
There wasn't much to say about the design, which was standard, but Lu Liang thought the car's front resembled that of a Bentley.
The rectangular grid in the central area of the front face had a resemblance to Bentley, almost identical.
Li Xiang chuckled awkwardly, "A good design always resonates with others, the key lies in the overall driving experience."
"How much is the fuel consumption?"
Lu Liang looked at the data, frowning.
Although it featured a range-extending hybrid system, a 1.2T engine seemed a bit weak, comparable to Wuling Hongguang.
"Between 6.8-9.6L/100km."
Lu Liang's brows gradually relaxed, the range-extending system indeed impressive. Such a large car having such low fuel consumption was a highlight.
Although he didn't care about fuel consumption, it was the public's main concern, or else Japanese cars wouldn't dominate the market.
Lu Liang then entered the cockpit for an experience. It was spacious enough, with a fridge, TV, sofa, heating, and massage, all included.
"Li Xiang mate, open the sunroof, activate heating for the driver's seat, massage for the co-driver's seat."
Lu Liang learned the command instructions, and as soon as he spoke them, Li Xiang showed another awkward smile, "Mr. Lu, currently the car's system is still being optimized, the commands need to be executed one at a time."
"That's fine."
Lu Liang also experienced the so-called intelligent driving, which was essentially equipped with several driving radars and a 360 camera.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Intelligent driving is far behind Tesla."
Basic forward collision warning, automatic lane change, lane keeping, and consistent speed with traffic were all absent.
Li Xiang looked bittersweet, but insisted, "A bit of intelligence is enough, the main focus is still driving comfort."
He argued confidently, "Mr. Lu, if you put aside intelligent driving, tell me, for a car priced around 300 thousand, which other model on the market has so many features?"
"Indeed, there isn't." Lu Liang conceded wryly.
Despite the Li Xiang ONE's numerous shortcomings, the fridge, TV, and large sofa at this price point was virtually unbeatable.
Even a Bentley Moshang didn't have as many features, and there was still substantial room for future improvements.
"Regarding the car system, I'll go over to the research institute tomorrow, there might be a possibility for optimization."
If Li Xiang's vehicle system was of this level, Lu Liang was confident their vehicle system could replace it.
After all, they are far from true intelligence; at most, it's an intelligent control system, making it run smoothly shouldn't be hard.
"That would be excellent," Li Xiang beamed, not as resistant to external vehicle systems as Li Bing.
After all, financing was truly hard, each penny was split in half to be spent, leaving no room to develop vehicle systems.
Including the current Li Xiang vehicle system, as long as it worked, intelligent driving wasn't a priority.
