Chapter 10: Showing Off Luxury Cars

  The bus went stop and go, shaking back and forth, finally arrived at the station.

  When she got off the bus, Cheng Zhiyi was already so hungry that her stomach was stuck to her back. As soon as she thought of her mother's delicious cooking, her footsteps quickened. Before she even reached the entrance of the alley, a car suddenly sped over and screeched to a halt in front of her, almost scraping off her nose!

  What's wrong with her today? Is it that all the cars in the world have a grudge against her?!

  It's really infuriating! Jing Yiyi was about to burst into a loud scolding, but saw Xu Shaoyan calmly open the car door, lean against the side of the car with his hands in his pockets, and smile wildly: "Hey! Prosecutor Princess, we meet again! It's really fate that brings us together from thousands of miles away!"

  What a coincidence! He clearly came with bus No. 29!

  Cheng Zhiyi's face turned white with rage, her eyes wide and furious as she scolded: "Can you even drive? How can you joke about someone's life? Do I have a grudge against you?" It's worth noting that having handled many traffic accident cases, whenever Cheng Zhiyi thought of those bloody crime scene photos, she felt a chill run down her spine.

  "How could that be? I'm not willing to let you suffer even the slightest harm!" Xǔ Shǎo Yàn said with a smooth tongue and a smile on his face that was so charming it was unmatched in the world.

  "What... what do you want?!" His oily tone and unscrupulous words were like pouring oil on fire, causing Cheng Zhiyi's anger to skyrocket.

  "I don't care how, I just hope you can sit in my Phantom!" Xǔ Shǎoyàn said with a smile.

  What? This person... is he sick or something?! Cheng Qi was speechless for a moment, how could there be such a shameless rascal? Yes, she admitted that having money was indeed impressive, but it didn't mean showing off everywhere like him.

  Cheng Zhiyi gave him a cold glance, not wanting to look at him again, and walked straight into the alley. Xu Shaoyan quickly caught up with her, stretched out his slender arm and blocked her way, saying stubbornly: "I haven't finished speaking yet! What's your phone number?... I'll ask you out for dinner another day!"

  Cheng Zhiyi stopped in her tracks, turned her head sideways, and smiled brightly as she gazed at him with a gentle tone, saying: "Mr. Xu Shao Ma, thank you again for your kindness! However, according to the prosecutor's professional ethics, we are not allowed to meet privately with parties involved!"

  After finishing speaking, she stretched out her right hand and pushed away the long arm that blocked her way, striding forward in big steps.

  Xu Shaoyan followed closely behind Cheng Ziyi, continuing to pester her in her ear: "Won't you say? I'll tell you, unless you give me your phone number, I'll go to the procuratorate every day to wait for you to get off work!"

  Whether you go or not has nothing to do with me! Cheng Zhiyi muttered to herself.

  "I'll really go!...... Tell me, it won't kill you, just make another friend..."

  I'm not telling you! Besides, I don't even want to be friends with someone like you!

  ……

  He followed her all the way to her doorstep, and seemed to have discovered a new continent with excitement: "Ah, so your home is here! How about I come pick you up for work tomorrow morning?"

  Before he had finished speaking, another car came speeding over and screeched to a halt in front of Cheng Zhiyi. Cheng Zhiyi was startled and looked up to see that it was Mo Wei.

  "Do you want me to die like this? Can't you drive properly?! Do you have to scare me like that?" Cheng Zhiyi complained to Mo Wei.

  A tall and slender beautiful woman got off the car, and Xu Shaoyan's true nature was revealed again. He stared at Mo Wei without any scruples, almost drooling - who is this woman? How can she be so beautiful? She's almost as beautiful as Cheng Ziyue!

  However, of course, Jingyi is still prettier!

  "Hello beautiful, I'm Xu Shao Yan, a friend of Zhi Yi's." Xu Shao Yan hastily walked forward, enthusiastically extending his right hand with a smile.

  "Hello! I'm Mo Wei, Qi Yi's best friend." Mo Wei didn't extend her hand, she just politely nodded and replied lightly. Then, she secretly glanced at Cheng Qi Yi and threw her a "Who is this man? Why don't I know?" questioning look.

  Cheng Zhiyi furrowed her delicate eyebrows and looked at Xu Shao Yan with displeasure, saying irritably: "What friends? I'm not familiar with you at all!"

  "You'll get used to it later..." Xǔ Shǎoyàn said with a greasy smile.

  This man is not only shallow, but also a thorough rascal! —— Cheng Zhiyi was thoroughly speechless, directly ignoring his existence, then smiled and took Mo Wei's arm: "Let's go! Hurry up and eat, don't bother with him!"

  The iron gate of the courtyard slammed shut with a "bang".

  Looking at the rusty iron gate, Xu Shaoyan couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile: in the past, those women who saw his Rolls-Royce Phantom would scream and shout to sit in it. However, this Cheng Zhiyi didn't even take a second glance! Aren't all women supposed to dream of marrying into a wealthy family and living a life of extravagance? He just couldn't believe that Cheng Zhiyi wouldn't be moved by his wealth! After all, his money had never failed to conquer anyone before!

  Could it be that this Cheng Zhiyi is pretending to be noble and wants to play hard to get, just to satisfy his appetite?

  Mo Wei's parents went to attend a colleague's daughter's wedding, so Mo Wei had already called Mrs. Cheng in advance to say that she would come to the Cheng's house for dinner. After dinner, the family sat in the living room eating watermelon and chatting, and upon hearing that someone else was marrying off their daughter, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and started talking about it.

  "Vivian, you and Ziyuan should hurry up too, you're both 29 years old already—"

  "It's 28 years old, okay?!" Cheng Zhiyi hastily corrected her mother's mistake with all her might - what 29 years old? They were clearly only 28 years old! You know, there's a huge difference between 28 and 29 years old!

  "It's all the same whether you're 29 or 30, what's the difference!" Mrs. Cheng glared at Cheng Ziy with a bit of annoyance, then turned to Mo Wei with a warm smile and said, "You two should encourage and supervise each other, don't just stick together every day and only know how to have fun... we parents aren't easy either, at our age we still have to worry about you..."

  "Mom! You're here again." Cheng Zhiyi said impatiently, "Can't you change your lines? It's always the same few sentences!"

  "It's all because of that stinky Lin kid... In what way is my daughter inferior to others?" When it comes to Lin Zhehao, Mrs. Cheng feels not only angry and resentful but also guilty! If they hadn't been inferior to other parents who were officials, her daughter wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

  At the thought of this, Mama Cheng couldn't help but feel sad again, her eyes reddening and her voice choking: "It's all our fault as parents, we've held you back..."

  "Mom, don't think wildly, what does this have to do with you?" Seeing her mother self-blaming like this, Cheng Zhiyi's heart also ached, but she couldn't help but comfort her by saying, "It's actually good this way! Otherwise, how would we know what kind of person Lin Zhixiao is? I should be grateful that we broke up with him, or else I'd be ruined by someone like him for the rest of my life!"

  "It's okay, it's okay!" Mo Wei also hurriedly comforted Cheng Mama, "That kind of person is not worthy of our Zhiyi at all, forget about him!"

  "Besides, I don't want to get married! I won't leave you for the rest of my life..." To comfort her mother, Cheng Zhiyi hugged her mother's arm like she did when she was a child, smiling sweetly and endearingly.

  "Nonsense!" Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter, scolding with a pampered face.
