Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Want to go for a drive?
Su Yang chuckled lightly, “What’s the matter? Are you afraid I’d deceive you? I invest in you not only because you are my son, but also because I support your hobbies and career.
“But if you’re too far behind, I can’t cover the entire shortfall. I know you’ve already approached your dad, and I know he turned you down.
“But you should also know, his lack of support for your career is because it’s dangerous. You haven’t participated in any races these past two years, isn’t it because you were injured before?”
Hearing Su Yang ntion Shen Yuan’s attitude and his own injury, Shen Jingchuan’s brows furrowed even tighter.
“Is that what he said? Excuses! All competitive sports carry certain risks. Even running and skipping can lead to injuries, let alone racing. Besides, I’m not stupid. Do I drive with the aim of getting hurt? Of course, I’ll do everything to protect myself. In the end, it’s just that he doesn’t respect my hobbies and profession! He can respect the profession of my younger brother!”
Su Yang was on the verge of tears, “You know the relationship between your dad and your younger brother isn’t good. Anyway, if you can persuade your dad, then you won’t have to go through the trouble of looking for other investors. Sotis you just have to swallow your pride.”
“Impossible! He’ll only advise
to give up. Mom, it’s getting late. You should rest early.”
Shen Jingchuan turned and walked away.
Su Yang knew that today’s conversation had again been in vain.
–
Once Shen Jingchuan stepped out the door, he leaned on his car and lit a cigarette.
After thinking for a mont, he made a phone call to Wenyan.
“Want to go for a ride?”
Wenyan, receiving the call and standing in front of her bedroom window looking down, said with a hint of disdain,
“I an, I’d go, but I don’t want to sit in your noisy car.”
“Why not?” Shen Jingchuan couldn’t understand. Until now, no one had ever complained about his car!
“I’ve already said it’s noisy. I’m afraid of disturbing the peace.”
“I’m not taking you to a crowded place for a ride.”
“Then that’s even better. I’d be even more afraid if we went where there are more people.”
Shen Jingchuan was even more puzzled, “What are you afraid of? Don’t you trust my driving skills?”
“NO, I’m afraid of losing face. Actually, I have a question. Soone as tall as you, you must be about 1.8 ters, right?”
“1.81 ters.”
“Alright, 1.81 ters, for a tall guy like you who is 1.81. When your supercar has such a low chassis and the car is so low, and your legs are so long, I’m just wondering how do you drive? Do you lie down when you drive?”
“… Custom-made.”
“OK, even if it’s custom-made, your car is still super low and it has an extrely low chassis. So, how does a 1.81-ter-tall you get out of the car after parking? Do you roll out? Or do you have to put your hands on the ground first then take your legs out? What if there just happens to be a loogie on the ground then?”
“… Wenyan, co down here. I promise I won’t hit you.”
If glares could materialize, Wenyan felt that her window might end up with two holes bored through by Shen Jingchuan’s stare.
But she was truly curious!
So five minutes later, she ca down dressed in cozy, warm clothes.
She was grinning, her eyes brimming with anticipation, “Co on, go sit in your car for
to see, please!”
Now, Shen Jingchuan could no longer look at his supercar directly. He didn’t even rember how he got out of it each ti.
But it was definitely not graceful.
He slapped his hand onto Wenyan’s head, his tone sowhat irritable, “Drive yours!”
Going with the flow of his push, Wenyan turned around, “Mine is also… okay, fine. My car is definitely taller than yours, and it’s a good thing I brought my car keys. You still smoke? Can you not? I get uncomfortable with the sll of smoke.”
Shen Jingchuan imdiately snuffed out the cigarette, “I won’t smoke. It’s lit to light your way, afraid it’s too dark and you can’t find .”
“… You might as well say you’re prepared to set the Shen Family villa ablaze with that, I could believe that more.”
Shen Jingchuan chuckled softly.
Actually, he had quit long ago, but when he was in a bad mood, he would still occasionally light one up just to enjoy the scent.
The two left the villa quickly by car.
Wenyan didn’t ask Shen Jingchuan where they were heading, only saying, “I don’t even rember that we had a conflict over the fake Shen Zhirou before, and there was also the matter of ten million. You should be able to tell
everything tonight, right?”
“Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you out so late. Do you like barbecue?”
“I love it.”
“I love it too, especially the dostic kind. It feels like it has more of a holy taste than what’s available abroad. There should be so for sale up ahead. What would you like to eat?”
“Lamb, beef, squid, green peppers, enoki mushrooms, scallops, sea snails, oysters, just these for now.”
“Okay.”
It wasn’t long before Wenyan indeed saw a row of food stalls not far ahead.
It was the perfect ti for a late-night snack, and the food stalls were quite crowded.
Shen Jingchuan found a spot to park the car and got out.
Seeing this, Wenyan hurriedly stuck her head out of the car window, “For the squid, I want the big ones, rember to make it extra spicy, but just mildly spicy for the rest.”
Hearing her voice, Shen Jingchuan turned and walked back.
He reached into the backseat and fished out a hat, placing it firmly on Wenyan’s head.
“You’re a big star now, be careful not to be recognized.”
“I’m not,” she said, but still adjusted the hat properly in the mirror, “You’re more famous than
now. You’re the one who should be careful.”
“I don’t need to.”
Shen Jingchuan ignored the advice and turned back towards the food stalls.
Wenyan found a mask to wear, then got out of the car to catch up with Shen Jingchuan.
“I’ll just co with you. It looks like there’s a wait in front of every stall, and it’s probably going to be a long one.”
The two found a stall with slightly fewer people and ordered the food they liked.
As a result, the stall owner stared at Shen Jingchuan for quite so ti.
Eventually, he couldn’t help but ask Shen Jingchuan, “You look like that person who beca popular from a livestream recently, soone with a foreign na, sothing with ‘Ks’, is it you?”
Shen Jingchuan naturally shook his head and denied it, “No, I’m not. But indeed, many people say I look like a celebrity. They all say I resemble Shen Jinghe. Do you think I look like him?”
“Shen Jinghe? The one who acts in movies, right? Hiss… There is indeed so resemblance.”
Wenyan: “……”
[So he does know about it, does he also know that this topic is quite popular online recently?]
Shen Jingchuan: He also browses the internet, okay?
Wenyan: But it’s really hard to say.
To say that the relationship between the two brothers is just average, and yet Shen Jingchuan can still joke about Shen Jinghe.
anwhile, far away at the Shen family villa, Shen Jinghe sneezed several tis in a row.
While waiting for the barbecue, Shen Jingchuan made a trip to the nearby convenience store.
After packing up the barbecue, Shen Jingchuan drove them to the riverside.
This place was an open natural scenic area with fewer people around at night.
Warm yellow solar-powered fairy lights were wrapped around the bridge and the riverside fence, flickering in the dark night, creating a cozy and bright atmosphere.
The siblings found a spot to sit down, listening to the sounds of the water and wind while eating their barbecue.
Shen Jingchuan handed Wenyan a can of beer, but Wenyan shook her head, “I don’t drink, it doesn’t taste good.”
“Then how about yogurt? I bought that, too, or milk. I bought everything, just look in the bag for yourself.”
Eventually, Wenyan opened a bottle of beverage, and Shen Jingchuan began telling her about past events.
