“Mind your own business.”
Her head was spinning, and everything in front of her had double vision.
Wen Zhiyu lay on the bed, feeling much better.
Her camera feed went dark.
Li Moyuan tapped his knee with his fingers in a steady rhythm, noting this down.
“You bought a car?”
“Yeah. Sister bought an e-bike, and you’re not riding on the back.”
Li Moyuan: …
He rubbed his brow with his slender fingers, coaxing Wen Zhiyu to sleep first.
Wen Zhiyu hung up the video call without hesitation and fell asleep on the bed.
When she woke up in the morning, her head felt foggy, and she completely forgot about last night’s events.
She went to work first, and after getting off, rushed to the meeting spot agreed upon with the seller to pick up the bike.
“I’ve charged it fully for you. By the way, where do you live?”
“Haiyun Xinju.”
Wen Zhiyu looked at the e-bike in front of her, absolutely delighted.
From now on, she had officially joined the ranks of vehicle owners—a step up from walking on her own two feet.
“What? You live in Haiyun Xinju?”
The seller’s excited voice cracked: “You live in a top-tier apartment and ride an e-bike. And you still haggled with me.”
Her worldview was shaken, and she felt the frustration of being played by a rich person.
“No, really, I don’t have money. That’s why I’m buying an e-bike. Please don’t raise the price.”
Wen Zhiyu pouted her lips and looked at the seller pitifully.
“Go, just go.”
The seller waved her hand magnanimously.
Wen Zhiyu stood still, feeling a bit embarrassed.
“I don’t know how to ride. Could you teach me?”
The seller slapped her forehead and conceded, starting the lesson.
“This is the power, and this is the brake.”
Wen Zhiyu quickly picked up the skills. She got on the bike, feeling a little scared, and asked the seller to help hold it steady for her.
“Don’t worry, it’s very simple.”
The seller reassured her.
The e-bike wobbled forward.
At first, Wen Zhiyu couldn’t control the speed well, and the bike suddenly shot forward, scaring her so much that her heart pounded like a little rabbit inside her chest.
“Release the power.”
Wen Zhiyu fumbled to adjust the speed according to the seller’s reminder.
No matter what, the bike was moving forward now.
“Hehe, I can ride now.”
Wen Zhiyu turned around excitedly to share her joy, only to be shocked to find the seller standing several meters away.
She screamed, and the bike crashed into the bushes.
“Are you okay?”
“Not really.”
Wen Zhiyu sat up, and the seller pulled her to her feet.
“I saw you’d learned, so I let go. How about I just sell the e-bike to someone else?”
“No, I can do this.”
Under the seller’s shocked gaze, Wen Zhiyu rode off in a crooked line.
There were too many e-bikes on the road, so she slowed down.
An elderly man out for a stroll overtook her bike.
The spring breeze brushed her face, and the fragrance of camphor trees drifted through the air.
“Riding my beloved e-bike, it never gets stuck in traffic.”
It took her an hour to get back to the apartment, and where to park the e-bike became a problem.
For safety reasons, the security guard wouldn’t allow the e-bike to be brought into the building.
Remembering that the property management had given her a parking spot, Wen Zhiyu went to find it.
In the spot next to hers sat a Porsche.
Wen Zhiyu reminded herself: don’t hit it, absolutely don’t hit it.
With a “bang,” she squeezed the wrong brake lever and charged straight toward the Porsche.
The poor luxury car lost a large chunk of paint and had a dent.
Wen Zhiyu sat on the e-bike, completely dazed.
She didn’t even dare to force a bitter smile, afraid heaven would think she wasn’t accepting her fate.
She got off the bike and looked at the Porsche’s condition—there was no way this would cost less than tens of thousands.
With no other choice, she walked to the car and looked for the phone number.
She called nervously, but the other party didn’t answer. Helpless, she sent a message instead, informing the owner of the unfortunate news.
When she got home, Li Mei had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to eat.
Wen Zhiyu’s little face was dirty, her fingers were dirty too, and she looked completely deflated.
“Zhizhi, what’s wrong?”
Li Mei helped Wen Zhiyu sit down, thinking it was a problem at work.
“Auntie, I’m in big trouble.”
Li Mei pinched her cheek: “Anything can be solved. You have me, and if that’s not enough, I can ask the young master for help. He can definitely fix it for you.”
The girl looked like a child who had come home with the worst grade in class, as if the sky were falling.
When the child grows up a bit more and looks back, the things that seemed like the sky falling won’t seem like such a big deal.
Wen Zhiyu pouted. “I hit someone’s car. A luxury car.”
“It’s fine, it can be repaired.”
Wen Zhiyu couldn’t bring herself to say she had no money. Sigh.
Li Mei received a phone call and stood up in surprise, walking outside.
“Zhizhi, eat first. I’ll go downstairs for a bit and be right back.”
Wen Zhiyu had no appetite. She lay on top of Da Ju, rubbing her cheek against it.
Downstairs, Li Mei stared at the dent in the Porsche and sucked in a sharp breath.
She video-called Li Moyuan to show him.
“I know.”
Li Moyuan’s jawline was tense as he moved to contact the culprit.
“Young master, don’t contact them. I’ve seen this kind of trick before.”
Li Mei hurriedly stopped him.
“?”
“It’s all over the news. Some scheming girls deliberately crash into luxury cars, then get in touch with the owner, and before you know it, they become the owner’s girlfriend and successfully climb up the social ladder.”
Li Mei explained in detail, then shifted her tone: “Of course, the young master has strong willpower and definitely won’t fall for anyone’s schemes.”
She volunteered to handle the communication with the other party.
“Fine.”
Li Moyuan thought for a moment and agreed.
He continued to immerse himself in work, his fingers tapping lightly on the screen. There was no message from the little fairy.
She had been unusually quiet today—probably feeling embarrassed after waking up from her drunkenness.
Li Mei went upstairs, and Wen Zhiyu asked what had happened.
Li Mei took a few sips of tea and steadied her breathing.
“Don’t even mention it. My young master’s car was hit by some scheming girl. Not only did she crash into the car, but she also parked her electric scooter in the young master’s parking spot. Tell me, isn’t that infuriating?”
“Then what are you going to do?”
Wen Zhiyu had a vague feeling that something was off.
“Hmph, I’ll deal with that scheming girl. Once she falls into my hands, I guarantee she won’t get away.”
Wen Zhiyu swallowed hard. “Your young master’s car isn’t a Porsche, is it?”
Li Mei nodded.
“Auntie, don’t come after me. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
Wen Zhiyu confirmed the identity of the car owner.
Li Mei was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: “So it was you who crashed into my young master’s car!”
Wen Zhiyu nodded miserably. She hadn’t wanted to either.
With her adorable and soft appearance, there wasn’t a trace of scheming about her.
Li Mei slapped her thigh. Oh no.
She immediately contacted Li Moyuan, stating that she had no experience handling car accident matters.
“You handle scheming girls with ease.”
“Young master, the other party might not be a scheming girl—she might be a sweet little cutie.”
Li Mei looked at Wen Zhiyu and smiled.
Li Moyuan paused for a moment, then said he would have the driver handle it.
“Young master, the driver doesn’t have time either. It’s better if you handle it personally.”
Li Mei was practically worrying herself to death over this. Maybe this incident could spark a beautiful romance.
After Li Moyuan hung up, he called Wen Zhiyu.
“I’m on a business trip out of town. Add me on WeChat, and I’ll handle it when I get back.”
