Chapter 108: 108 Do you have a woman you like? (Second Update)

Of course, he could forget about any compensation, but the fact that the other party’s car was still intact made him doubt his capabilities.

He laughed as he got in the car, "I need to see how much money I’ve got left in my bag?"

Seeing that the other party was about to flee, Huo Wu and his men immediately went to block, "You can’t go. If you dare to run, see this?"

Huo Wu took out a knife from his waist, shining it menacingly at the young man.

The young man was not intimidated by the object in their hands; in fact, he hardly took it seriously and glanced over at someone approaching from a distance.

He opened the car door, got in, and started the engine.

Huo Wu watched as the young man drove towards them, his face turning ashen; he quickly moved to the side, swearing under his breath about the recklessness.

The young man was not interested in the people; it was the car in front of him that caught his attention.

If the car was still there, he could not explain himself when he went back.

He stepped on the accelerator and crashed into the small car once again.

With a loud bang, the rear of the small car crashed with a thunderous noise as if crushed by something, followed by the crumbling sound of the small car being destroyed and a splash as it hit the water.

Huo Wu stared at the scene before him, feeling an urge to kill the culprit.

This was too much, it was Huo’s only car, bought for tens of thousands, and the other party just destroyed it like it was nothing, absolutely beastly.

The young man rolled down the window, glanced outside at the wreck, where even scavenging it would be a hassle, let alone fixing it.

Satisfied with his actions, he then drove off, rumbling down the road.

"You come back here, you come back here!" Seeing the main culprit escaping, Huo Wu was not about to let it slide, waving the knife in his hand chasing after the ahead truck.

The truck, as if powered by a huge engine, swiftly disappeared without a trace, its speed exceeding even the fastest speed of Huo’s little car could manage.

Huo Wu watched helplessly as the truck departed, glanced at the flattened little car, and felt like dying.

That’s it, all was lost now.

Huo hadn’t completed his task, and they’d wrecked the only car in their gang; that wasn’t the main issue, the main issue was that they didn’t know who the other party was, what background they came from, or even their name; they knew nothing.

"Brother Five." The younger brother glanced at the shapeless car in the rice field, equally distraught, "What do we do? Should we run away and work somewhere else? If we go back like this, Huo will definitely not let us off."

A car worth tens of thousands, just destroyed like that.

Not catching that person meant they had to bear all the consequences themselves. They definitely hadn’t checked the almanac before going out, or else how could they run into such terrible luck.

So tired.

Huo Wu spat on the ground, "Damn it, to encounter such a scoundrel who’s even worse than us, I’ll remember him."

"Brother Five." The younger brother said weakly, "Even if you remember him, it’s no use. We don’t even know where he’s from, whether he’s a local, Brother Five, what do we do next? Make a decision."

There was no way to teach that person a lesson now; the car was here even though it was wrecked, they had to somehow get it back.

"Run, you can run from a monk, but not from a temple, my old mother is still at home." Huo Wu felt fiery thinking about this; if it weren’t for his mother still being alive, he would have definitely gone south to work.

Damn it, such lousy luck, initially wanting to teach someone a lesson yet ended up being taught a lesson instead.

What a mess.

"Brother Five, doesn’t this just prove that saying?"

"What saying?"

"What goes around comes around."

"Shut up." Bringing up the most annoying point, really irritating.

——

Honking sounds came from behind, the horn blasted three times, each more impatient than the last.

Xiaofeng, also feeling impatient upon hearing the noise, wasn’t even walking in the middle of the road, why the honking? Having a car is so great, is it? It’s like everyone needs to know.

After realizing it was Ye Cheng’s car, Su Xiaofeng pouted her lips.

Once or twice could be a coincidence, but more than that seemed intentional.

What exactly did Ye Cheng want?

Ye Cheng rolled down his window, his expression cold and aloof, looking utterly unapproachable, "Alone?"

"Yeah."

"Come up." Ye Cheng was straightforward.

Xiaofeng didn’t stand on ceremony either, she wanted to ask Ye Cheng if he didn’t have to work all day long. It seemed he could always run into her.

After buckling the seat belt, she glanced at his distinct, slender, and strong fingers, feeling momentarily mesmerized.

The man before her was good-looking enough, but even his fingers were attractive. If all men looked like him, every woman ought to feel ashamed enough to die.

Her gaze lingered for a short while, and she despised herself internally—no matter how handsome he was, he wouldn’t be yours, so it was enough to just look.

"You came down to the city early in the morning?" Su Xiaofeng asked casually.

"I slept in the county last night," Ye Cheng looked ahead at the road. "You didn’t come back either?"

"Didn’t I rent an apartment in the city last time? I stayed there for a night."

"Planning to develop a career in the city in the future?" he asked, sounding as serious as a parent grilling a new bride.

Twirling her hair, Su Xiaofeng replied, "What else? Protecting that tiny plot of family land back home might keep us from starving, but it won’t make us rich."

"I heard from Ershun that you brought his elder brother some pickled vegetables?" Ye Cheng changed the topic, getting straight to the point.

Su Xiaofeng wanted to say that those vegetables were for treating his brother’s illness, but it seemed that she couldn’t quite say that. She nodded, "Yeah, is there a problem with that?"

"The eldest Wu Family brother is now my patient. I must remind you seriously that the treatment process is strict. He can’t just eat anything without my approval. You understand, right?" What’s this about making dried radishes and pickled vegetables for? What are you thinking?

If you were interested in him, why didn’t you just marry into the Wu Family in the first place?

Or is it now that you think the Wu Family elder brother can be cured, you want to marry him?

Su Xiaofeng took a while to understand what he was talking about.

He was angry, yes, he was angry.

Because she brought food for the Wu Family elder brother, he meant that the Wu Family elder brother shouldn’t be eating such things.

"About that matter, I didn’t mean anything else. I just felt that since Ershun helped me so much, I didn’t know how else to repay him. Didn’t he say his elder brother has a poor appetite? So, I made him some appetizing dishes. If the Wu Family elder brother can’t eat pickles, next time I’ll make him something else."

Something suitable for a patient to eat.

"What can he eat in his current state? Porridge or light dishes?" Su Xiaofeng was immediately worried.

That way, wouldn’t the Wu Family elder brother misunderstand something?

To save a person, she was prepared to do whatever necessary.

Hearing her words, Ye Cheng’s face darkened, and he immediately parked the car by the roadside, his expression gloomy as he looked at Su Xiaofeng, his voice cold, "Are you interested in the eldest Wu Family brother?"

It was so obvious, even if she said she wasn’t interested, who would believe that?

Su Xiaofeng watched as he suddenly stopped the car and then asked her such a question. She was puzzled. Even if she was truly interested in the Wu Family elder brother, Ye Cheng’s reaction seemed a bit too much.

She swallowed, feeling inexplicably nervous, "I’ve never even met him, how could I be interested? I just saw how much Ershun cares about his elder brother, and since Ershun has helped me so much, I..." wanted to do what she could.

Most importantly, her Spiritual Mirror Qi was beneficial for the Wu Family elder brother’s illness. If Ershun had helped her, helping him treat his elder brother in return shouldn’t be too much.

Ye Cheng’s lips curved into a smile, but his eyes didn’t share the sentiment, "So, you’re saying you’re interested in Ershun?"

Su Xiaofeng burst into laughter, finding Ye Cheng’s leap in logic astonishing. Her interested in Ershun? Ha, how could that be, "Ye Cheng, what are you thinking? How could that be possible?"

Watching her laughter, the irritation in Ye Cheng’s heart gradually faded and he restarted the car, "If you have no such intentions, you should avoid sending things in the future, otherwise people might misunderstand."

Su Xiaofeng thought it over and agreed, "You’re right, I’ll be careful in the future."

In her previous life, she had only had one boyfriend, and their relationship had lasted only about three months. He complained that she lacked femininity and promptly broke it off.

She tried dating others afterward, but it always ended in incompatibility.

So, in her opinion, love and marriage were nothing but trouble, which was why she chose to stage a drama of seeking a child, desiring a baby without needing the father.

Then she died.

But thinking it over, Ye Cheng’s words sounded like a parent cautioning a child. Though they were already friends, they hadn’t grown so close for him to be directing her life.

When Ye Cheng noticed her looking at him, his face turned slightly unnaturally red, a shadow of red creeping up behind his ears, adding a trace of liveliness to his cold demeanor, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Flipping her hair in a flirtatious manner, Su Xiaofeng responded, "Ye Cheng, I want to ask you a question."

"Hmm." He sensed it wasn’t going to be a pleasant question.

"Do you have a woman you like?"

Ye Cheng: "...."
