Chapter 29: Why Am I a Little Dumbfounded?
Editor: Atlas Studios
"Don't listen to your Uncle Sun. He's just shy. Let me tell you, Lin Yi, as humans, we must learn to repay others' kindness. Your Uncle Sun helped you, so you have to remember…"
He really did not know what was going through Liu Mei's mind. Even if Sun Zhi's face was black and he shouted at her again and again, she could not tell. She was still acting high and mighty towards Lin Yi.
Of course, if not for what happened yesterday, no matter how powerful Lin Yi was, he was only a junior. It was fine for Liu Mei to criticize him.
However, it was different now. He had already been slapped in the face by Lin Yi yesterday. Now, every word Liu Mei said was equivalent to rubbing salt in Sun Zhi's wound.
Finally, the impatient Sun Zhi exploded. He pushed Liu Mei away and nearly staggered.
"Are you done? If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute! You only know how to show off all day long. You think about pointless things all the time. If you have the time, take care of yourself!"
After being pushed by Sun Zhi, Liu Mei immediately became anxious. She rushed forward and threw a tantrum with her man.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yi simply carried the rice and walked towards the door. He did not have the time to watch them play monkey.
"Hey, hey, Little Yi, give me the thing. I can do it myself…"
Seeing this, Sun Zhi hurriedly stopped him, but before he could finish, his wife had already rushed up and pulled.
At this moment, Lin Yi had already walked into the corridor and went up to the second floor. After placing the bag of rice at the door of Sun Zhi's house, he went straight to his house.
Downstairs, Liu Mei seemed to have been angered by her husband. At this moment, she was crying and pushing her husband. It attracted the attention of the neighbors. Even the window upstairs stuck out a few heads.
"Sun Zhi, you're heartless. What did I do? Didn't I just ask that kid from the Lin family to help me carry a bag of rice? The Lin kid didn't even say anything, but you actually dared to hit me…"
There were more and more people around. Although Liu Mei was not popular, some neighbors came over to stop the fight when they saw this, but Liu Mei refused to give up.
Finally, Sun Zhi, who had been holding back for a long time, shook off Liu Mei and shouted, "Enough! Are you done?! You're such a short-sighted idiot! If you don't think it's shameful, I won't either! Then I'll tell you why I'm shouting at you!"
"Help Little Yi? Does he need my help? Did you see that Land Rover? That's Little Yi's!"
"Also, let me tell you! That car is not a bullshit Freelander. Little Yi's is a top-notch Range Rover. It's worth at least four million!"
"It's fine if you order him around. After all, he's a junior, but you've been mocking him again and again. You really don't know what you're doing!"
As soon as he said this, Liu Mei, who was originally crying non-stop, was immediately dumbfounded. She looked at the brand new silver Land Rover in a daze and was speechless.
Not only her but the surrounding neighbors were also shocked by Sun Zhi's words.
When they looked at the Land Rover, they were shocked. This car actually belonged to that kid from the Lin family?
Wasn't that kid still in high school? How could he afford to drive a four-million-dollar supercar??
What did four million mean? Perhaps it was nothing in the eyes of the rich, but in this old neighborhood, four million was a relatively huge number!
For a moment, people's thoughts ran wild. Could it be that Old Lin was not as simple as he seemed?
However, in the next moment, Liu Mei asked this question for everyone.
"This, how is this possible?! How can he have so much money?! Could he have borrowed or rented this car?? It must be. He definitely can't have bought it!"
Hearing this, Sun Zhi reached out to close the trunk of the old A6 and snorted in disdain.
"Hmph, borrowed and rented? Let me tell you why he's so rich. Lin Yi sold a piece of Yuanqing Flower Vase porcelain in our antique shop yesterday. Just that one was worth five million! Will he need to borrow? Alright, stop embarrassing yourself here. Hurry up and go home!"
Although Sun Zhi did not want to brag about Lin Yi, in the current situation, if he did not explain clearly, this stupid wife might say something hurtful again.
When Sun Zhi saw that Lin Yi was driving a Land Rover, he had an idea. He wanted to make peace with Boss Zhuang through this kid. Perhaps he could return to work.
After all, he could tell that part of the reason why Boss Zhuang fired him was because of Lin Yi.
If he allowed his wife to spout nonsense now and hurt Lin Yi, it would be impossible for him to find the kid for help.
After hearing Sun Zhi's explanation, the surrounding neighbors were all enlightened.
Everyone knew that Old Lin liked antiques, but they did not expect his son to be capable of obtaining a Yuanqing Flower Vase!
For a moment, everyone was extremely envious. At the same time, they thought to themselves that they had to go to their hometown and flip through it later. Perhaps they could find some antiques. At that time, they might be able to change into a Land Rover worth more than four million dollars!
The discussion of the surrounding people also completely woke Liu Mei up. She looked deeply at the silver Land Rover and felt an indescribable bitterness.
She was also indignant in her heart. Why did such a good thing fall into the hands of the Lin family?!
However, she did not dare to argue with her husband anymore.
Seeing that her husband was already walking upstairs, she hurriedly lowered her head and followed.
However, although Sun Zhi and his wife left, the surrounding neighbors did not disperse. Some middle-aged women, uncles, and aunties gathered and chatted.
From time to time, they would look at the Land Rover with indescribable envy.
However, a moment later, cries sounded from the window on the second floor.
Looking through the window, it was clearly Sun Zhi and Liu Mei's house. Vaguely, everyone seemed to have heard something like "fired from work".
Everyone shook their heads. This Liu Mei was too arrogant usually. This time, she had been slapped in the face by the Lin family's kid. She would no longer be so overbearing.
Around 6:30 PM, Father Lin pushed open the door and walked in. He looked at his wife who had already returned and was cooking in the kitchen and asked in confusion, "Xiao'e, that's strange. Why did the neighbors say something about congratulating me downstairs? I'm so confused. What good news are you hiding from me?"
