Chapter 1141 — Scraped a Hole in the Car
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
If memory served, Wei Zhao had already tendered his resignation to Gu Pengzhan last time; and the reason he had stayed on again was a promise he had made to Shen Yushu — he had remained, more or less, in the capacity of a friend.
"Why thank me? I've got more clothes than I can ever wear anyway. From now on we'll just share them — otherwise they'd only go to waste!" Gu Mengyao said with feigned indifference, saying one thing while meaning another.
Wei Zhao smiled. The young mistress was always like this — kind to others, yet acting as if it were nothing at all. The classic sort who does you a favor and refuses to take any credit for it. Still, it was rather endearing.
"Then let's get going, shall we? I can't wait!" Feng Xiaoxiao said, a little impatiently.
"Mm, let's go." Wei Zhao nodded.
The five of them left the villa. Gu Mengyao told General Mighty to guard the house well, then locked the door.
As for who would sit in the passenger seat, the young mistress, Xiaoshu, and Tang Zhi tacitly yielded the spot to Feng Xiaoxiao. The three of them knew Feng Xiaoxiao's situation perfectly well, and this outing was meant to fulfill one of her wishes; so everyone's aim was simply to make Feng Xiaoxiao happy — even Xiaoshu did not argue with her over it.
Wei Zhao's Range Rover took the lead, An Liwen's Ferrari followed behind, and at the very back came Yang Ganglou's Audi Q7.
They made no attempt to hide it, following right along behind, as if they really were one convoy traveling together.
"Sister Yaoyao, An Liwen's car is catching up." Shen Yushu glanced back and said to Gu Mengyao.
"I see it. Let them do as they like." The young mistress frowned and said nothing more.
"Hubby Wei Zhao, in a bit, pick the dirt roads on purpose. They brought a sports car out — drive them to death!" Feng Xiaoxiao snorted.
"Ha, I was just about to say that!" Shen Yushu cried.
Wei Zhao smiled, turned the wheel, and chose the worst dirt road in all of Songshan City — the one leading to the sea! Cars rarely traveled that road; only farm vehicles heading into town at dawn to sell vegetables used it, along with the odd cargo truck banned from the main roads.
It was the kind of road that had become a road simply because enough people had driven over it. No official body had ever bothered to maintain it, so of course the surface was terrible.
For an off-road vehicle like the Range Rover, though, it was no great challenge. For An Liwen's sports car, it was a bit of a nightmare.
"Brother An, why is this road so bad? I can't keep up..." Su Taizao was driving the sports car, and seeing the road grow worse and worse, he hurriedly complained to An Liwen.
"I let you drive precisely because the road is bad! If it were good, I'd be driving myself! Weren't you the underground racing king of Songshan City's track? How come you're losing your touch now?" An Liwen glared at him. "Keep up, and don't you dare lose them! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for me to win a girl over — don't you waste it!"
"Yes..." Su Taizao had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep driving, though the road was truly hard going — and for a sports car, harder still.
"They're still following?" Feng Xiaoxiao was rather surprised. On a road like this, An Liwen could still keep up?
"That driver, Su Taizao, must be quite good — he picks out the flat stretches to drive on. He should be able to hang on for now." Wei Zhao had been watching the cars behind him in the rearview mirror the whole time.
Su Taizao could barely keep up, but it was a struggle — an agonizing one.
"Crunch—" With a great bang, Su Taizao stopped the car and said to An Liwen with a bitter face, "Brother An, bad news — I scraped the undercarriage. I think I've torn something open!"
"What? Can't you watch where you're driving? Are you blind?" The moment An Liwen heard the car was damaged, he flew into a rage! Of all times for the car to break down — wasn't this just sabotaging him?
