Chapter 2117: Chapter 945: Mom, I Have to Confess Something to You! (2)

But it’s not too late!

Wang Qian entered the VIP room with a smile, initiated a conversation with Lin Baici, and handed over a business card.

Lin Baici looked indifferent.

After a while, Liu Jiaxin returned: "Bai Ci, the car’s ready for pickup. You should go check it!"

"No need to check. I trust your work!"

Lin Baici was too lazy to put in the effort. If there’s a problem with the car, he’ll just go back to the dealership. What? They won’t admit it?

Kidding, they dare to scam Nine Provinces Dragon Wing; is this store looking to close down?

"Our store’s cars definitely have no problems. If any arise, just call me, I’ll help solve it."

Wang Qian chimed in, much more friendly than before.

Liu Jiaxin was busy until 1 PM, washing the car, arranging insurance, handling temporary plates, etc...

She finally completed everything, and Lin Baici could drive away.

"Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch!"

Lin Baici invited.

"Well then, I won’t hold back!"

Liu Jiaxin saw that Lin Baici genuinely intended to treat her, immediately went to the general manager: "I’ll take leave for a bit!"

Ten minutes later, Liu Jiaxin returned, panting.

Busy all morning, she had sweated quite a bit, making her white shirt almost drenched, sticking to her skin with the outline of her underwear visible. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Let’s go, I plan to make this generous guy splurge heavily!"

Liu Jiaxin swung her little handbag, hummed a tune, feeling very happy.

The three left the dealership, with Tang Qing bidding farewell: "Little Ci, Jiaxin, enjoy yourselves. I’ll head back!"

"Where are you heading?"

Lin Baici grabbed Tang Qing: "Join us for lunch!"

"No, no!"

Tang Qing thought Lin Baici and Liu Jiaxin were old classmates, likely had things to discuss, and figured it wasn’t appropriate for her to join.

"Don’t bother with excuses!"

Lin Baici instructed: "Hurry up and get in the car!"

"Uh?"

Tang Qing glanced at her electric scooter, "What about my scooter? Where are we dining? Should I ride it there?"

"No need!"

Lin Baici took out his phone, hired a substitute driver.

Waiting less than five minutes, the substitute driver arrived.

"Hand him the key!"

Lin Baici directed.

"Oh!"

Tang Qing gave the key to the young substitute driver.

The young driver looked at the worn-out electric scooter, a bit confused: "Hey, buddy, are you messing with me?"

"Here, scan the code, and I’ll give you a hundred yuan tip!"

Lin Baici opened WeChat: "Any issues?"

"None!"

Upon hearing about the hundred yuan tip, the driver’s attitude quickly improved, grinning broadly; forget riding a scooter, he’d have no objections even if asked to drive a sewage truck.

"How about after dinner, I ride back myself?"

Upon realizing it costs over a hundred yuan just to have someone ride her electric scooter home, including the driver’s fee — which would be more — Tang Qing felt reluctant.

"Alright, that’s it!"

Lin Baici gave the substitute driver the address, urging Liu Jiaxin and Tang Qing into the car.

Liu Jiaxin silently observed all this, feeling that Lin Baici had changed.

He was generous, and exuded an aura accustomed to commanding others.

Lin Baici entered the car, fastened his seatbelt, not in a rush to depart, instead found Liu Jiaxin’s WeChat, and sent her a red envelope.

"Thank you for today!"

"It’s nothing, we’re classmates, no need for the formalities!"

Liu Jiaxin felt it was just part of her duty.

"Accept the red envelope!"

Lin Baici started the car: "In the future, there might be times I’ll need your help again!"

"Then I won’t hold back. When you’re financially free, come and buy an A8!"

Joking, Liu Jiaxin tapped the message, then was stunned seeing the 5,000 yuan appear, instinctively blurted out: "What are you doing?"

This big of a red envelope?

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen it.

"Take it!"

Lin Baici smiled.

"First, let me clarify, I sell my talents, not myself!"

Only joking, Liu Jiaxin knew her worth. Back in high school, many girls chased him, but he denied them all. Now, with his more successful development, his standards for a girlfriend must be higher.

"What talents do you have? Tell me!"

Lin Baici teased: "Can you outperform the masters selling tricks under the bridges?"

"Get lost!"

Liu Jiaxin was amused: "By the way, I saw your message in the group the other day, planning to attend the class reunion, right?"

"That punk Xu Chenyang is trying to squeeze me!"

Lin Baici sighed.

"That guy just loves to show off!"

Liu Jiaxin didn’t make it to college, feeling somewhat inferior, and originally didn’t plan to go, but after encountering Lin Baici today, she changed her mind.

Might as well go and have a look!

If a girl likes you, you definitely won’t have to worry about awkward silences; she’ll go out of her way to find topics that interest you.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guest alike.

Afterwards, Lin Baici dropped Liu Jiaxin off at the car dealership, then drove Tang Qing home.

Tang Qing sat in the passenger seat, curiously touching here and there, a bit hesitant.

"What do you want to say?"

Lin Baici teased Tang Qing: "Look at you squirming around, like a worm!"

"You’re the worm!"

Tang Qing gave Lin Baici a sideways glance, then timidly asked: "Can I... can I take a few photos?"

"You can spend the night in this car if you want!"

Along the way, Lin Baici and Tang Qing chatted and laughed, stopping by a supermarket to buy some groceries.

...

In the evening, when Lin Baici saw it was almost time for his mom to return, he went downstairs ahead of time to wait in the car.

Since he came back early in the afternoon, there was still parking space available below the apartment building.

Once it’s rush hour, finding a parking spot around here is a big headache.

Li Guiru returned from work, riding her electric scooter into the neighborhood.

Below the apartment building, there was a new, unlicensed car that looked pretty nice.

"Who’s family has bought a new car?"

Li Guiru didn’t care much for that, but just as she got off her scooter, the car suddenly honked twice.

Beep! Beep!

The sound was loud and startled Li Guiru.

She glanced at it, parked the scooter, took off her helmet, grabbed her bag, and prepared to go upstairs when the car started honking again.

Beep beep beep!

Li Guiru turned her head to look, then continued towards the apartment building.

"Mom!"

It was her son’s voice, making Li Guiru pause and turn around, but she didn’t see anyone.

The car window was rolled down to a third, and Lin Baici lowered it completely.

"Mom!"

Lin Baici stuck his head out: "Isn’t this car beautiful?"

"What’s going on?"

Li Guiru frowned.

"I just bought it, wanna give it a try?"

Lin Baici got out of the car.

"What?"

Li Guiru was dumbstruck, looking at the car, then at Lin Baici. Instinctively, she wanted to say, why are you wasting money? This car doesn’t look cheap.

But as the words reached her lips, she held back.

Her son has grown up, become successful, so she should try to avoid lecturing him too much. Even if it’s necessary to say something, she should be tactful, not straightforward.

Lin Baici jogged over, took the helmet and the cheap bag over a hundred yuan from Li Guiru’s hand, and dragged her towards the car.

"I felt it’s inconvenient without a car, so I bought one!"

Lin Baici opened the driver’s side door: "Mom, give it a try."

"You’ve only been home for a few days, and you’ve bought a car?"

"You can drive it!"

Lin Baici persuaded: "So you should hurry to get your driver’s license during this summer break!"

"I think riding the scooter to work is just fine!"

Li Guiru never thought about the kind of life where she could drive a car to work.

"So no more riding the scooter, and no more going to work!"

"What will I do if I don’t go to work?"

Li Guiru glared at Lin Baici: "Won’t you need money to get married?"

"I’ll earn it myself!"

Lin Baici prompted: "Quick, go have a look inside."

"I’m wearing dirty clothes!"

Li Guiru glanced at the pristine interior. She was embarrassed to go inside, and knowing it’s their car now, she’s even more reluctant; what if she dirties it?

Lin Baici didn’t listen, pushing Li Guiru into the car.

Li Guiru sat inside, feeling awkward yet very happy.

Seeing other families go on outings on weekends, she always envied them, and on rainy days, riding the electric scooter home really was a suffering.

Now, does their family have a car too?

Li Guiru looked at her son.

"Mom, I have to confess something!"

Lin Baici said solemnly.
