Chapter 179: Chapter 179 This Car Is So Freaking AwesomeWu Lindong stylishly pressed the lock button, and the Camryâs lights flashed with a pleasing sound. Sun Lii walked over, opened the passenger door, and said to Michelle, "Michelle, do you want to come in and sit for a while, experience what a good car feels like?"
Michelle really didnât know whether to laugh or cry about this classmate. They owned just a Camry, yet how could they say that the Porsche Li Yifei drove was a crappy car? She truly had no idea what they were thinking as she shook her head, "No, weâll just take our own car."
Sun Liiâs mouth curled up in pride and she said, "Alright then, I hope you also can afford a good car soon, so you wonât lose face at future class reunions or anything."
Michelle nodded and replied, "Weâll work hard at it."
Sun Lii, who had already taken her seat in the car, now came out again, leaning on the door frame. "You go ahead," she said, feeling that if she didnât watch Michelle get into that QQ, she wouldnât be able to make Michelle feel inferior, to let out that pent up frustration of many years.
Li Yifei chuckled and remarked, "Michelle, letâs head off then."
Sun Lii quickly nodded her head repeatedly, "Yes, you go ahead," although her eyes were fixed on the QQ. She craved that thrill.
Just then, a young couple approached and the man directly opened the door of the QQ, then the two of them got in and drove away.
Sun Lii and Wu Lindong were startled. Wasnât the QQ supposed to be Li Yifei and Michelleâs? How did it end up that someone else drove it away? This meant that the QQ was not their car at all, and now the only ones left were their Camry and that Porsche. The Porsche definitely wasnât Li Yifei and Michelleâs, which made Sun Lii, after a moment of stunned realization, gleefully ecstatic. It turned out that Michelle and Li Yifei didnât have a car at all, yet here they were pretending to have one.
Sun Lii frowned slightly and said with feigned seriousness, "Michelle, thatâs not quite right of you, is it? If we donât have a car, letâs work hard and save to buy one. How can you say you have one when you donât? This isnât like the Michelle I know. When did you become so vain, and when did you start lying? Weâre old classmates; do you really need to be like this?"
As she said this, Sun Lii felt an indescribable pleasure inside. She had always known that Michelle was more beautiful than her and very conscientious, good in her studies at school and surely just as diligent at work. Aside from boyfriends, Sun Lii felt she couldnât compete with Michelle in any way. Yet, now she unexpectedly had the chance to criticize Michelle, and she relished it.
Wu Lindongâs eyes narrowed. Since Michelle liked to appear vain, she must really love money. If he made a move in the future, perhaps he could make her his mistress. She would certainly bring more prestige than Sun Lii when taken out in public.
Confused by Sun Liiâs questioning, Michelle said, "We never said we bought a car. The car is from the company, and they let Yifei drive it."
Smacking her lips, Sun Lii retorted, "Michelle, why are you still denying it? There are only two cars here and you still claim you have one. Donât tell me this Porsche is yours? Youâre seriously going to make me die laughing."
"Exactly, exactly!" Wu Lindong nodded and added, "Here in Mile City, there arenât more than five Porsches in total, and usually, only wealthy Young Masters and the like would own such cars. Which company would use a Porsche as an Official vehicle? Iâve been in the business world for a few years now and know most of the bosses, and Iâve never seen any company use a Porsche as an official car. What youâre saying... itâs just too far-fetched."
Michelle smiled wryly and nodded, "Then I donât know."
Sun Lii cut Michelle off and waved her hand more arrogantly, "Enough, enough, Michelle. Let us give you a ride. Itâs no big deal to be without a car."
Li Yifei didnât say anything but pressed the remote for the Porsche. Instantly, the Porscheâs headlights illuminated. He then walked over, opened the passenger door for Michelle, and said, "Michelle, letâs go."
Michelle nodded, gave Sun Lii an apologetic nod, and said, "Sorry, but we have to be going."
Watching Michelle get into the car, Sun Lii and Wu Lindong were dumbstruck. They had always assumed that Li Yifei, the small-time manager of a minor company, was nothing but a no-account. They never once considered the Porsche at his side might be his to drive.
Especially after mocking Michelle continuously, seeing her get into the car felt like a slap across their mouths. Their faces instantly flushed to the color of pig liver, mouths gaping so wide they couldnât close them.
That was a Porsche 991, a luxury car worth millions. With the cost of his Camry, one could afford ten of those without breaking a sweat. And there they were, comparing their Camry with it â the more they thought about it, the more embarrassed they became, wishing the ground would swallow them up.
Before getting into the car, Michelle waved at Sun Lii, saying, "Goodbye."
"Good... goodbye..." Sun Lii felt her arm stiff as if lead had been poured into it, her voice so weak she could barely hear herself, until the Porsche 991 sped away out of sight, still unable to snap back into reality.
"Husband, werenât you saying that Dreamfly Company is a small company?" It took Sun Lii a while to recover before she asked Wu Lindong with confusion.
Wu Lindong was frowning as he said, "Yes, Mile City only has a few big companies, and thereâs definitely no Dreamfly among them. I see now, Li Yifei must be some rich Young Master, and Michelle is kept by him. As for the company and manager titles, they must simply be his playthings."
Sun Lii snorted, "I thought so. Hmph, even if heâs wealthy, whatâs the big deal? Sheâs still just a mistress to someone, nothing to be proud of."
The words were so sour one could almost feel a toothache, and her face clearly displayed envy, jealousy, and resentment.
At this moment, Michelle was in the car with Li Yifei, unable to suppress her mixed feelings of laughter and tears as she said, "Whatâs the deal with Sunx Lii? Her words are always so incoherent."
Li Yifei, hands on the steering wheel, laughed and said, "She must have always been jealous of you. Now that sheâs doing well, she wanted to show off in front of you, but it backfired and she ended up embarrassing herself instead."
Michelle sighed and said, "Sheâs always had a problem with me, I didnât expect that after all these years, she would still be the same. By the way, Brother Li, youâre not angry about what she said, are you?"
Li Yifei turned his head to glance at Michelle, smiling amiably as he said, "Whatâs there for me to be angry about?"
"As long as youâre not upset. I was afraid that her words might have angered you."
"Iâm not so petty. Alright, itâs getting late. Iâll take you home."
About ten minutes later, Li Yifei dropped Michelle off outside of her residential complex. Michelle opened the car door, turned her head to look at Li Yifei, and revealed a sweet smile as she said, "Brother Li, thank you for accompanying me to the movies."
Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Whatâs there to thank me for? Arenât we friends? Itâs just watching a movie."
Michelleâs cheeks tinged with a hint of red as she softly said, "Can I still invite Brother Li to watch movies with me in the future?"
Li Yifei could tell from Michelleâs expression that there was a hint of affection in her words. Previously, he hadnât wanted to get involved in a romantic relationship, but now that he and Su Yiyi had confirmed their relationship, he didnât want to be unfair to her. So, he just smiled at Michelle and said, "Of course, as long as my girlfriend doesnât have any plans, you can call me."
Michelleâs eyes lit up as she said, "Then itâs a deal, donât try to back out when the time comes."
"Of course not. Hurry on home, itâs already late," Li Yifei said with a beaming smile, waving his hand.
Michelle happily got out of the car, waved back at Li Yifei, and stood at the entrance of her complex. Yet, she kept watching Li Yifeiâs car. Li Yifei knew that if he didnât leave, Michelle wouldnât go inside. So he turned the steering wheel, honked the horn, and quickly drove away.
Michelle wasnât upset earlier when he mentioned his girlfriend, which took a load off Li Yifeiâs mind. Maybe Michelle really just considered him a good friend. In that case, it would be much more comfortable interacting with her in the future.
When he got home, Li Yifei turned on his phone to find several missed calls, all from Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan. He ignored Xu Yingyingâs calls and was hesitating whether to return Xu Shanshanâs call when her phone rang again.
"Shanshan, why are you so eager to find me?" Li Yifei asked.
Xu Shanshan immediately said, "Brother-in-law, why were you unreachable all this time?"
"I went to see a movie with someone and turned off my phone."
"You actually went to watch a movie? With your girlfriend?" Xu Shanshanâs voice rose several decibels.
"No, with a friend."
"Wow, Brother-in-law, thatâs not cool. You didnât go with your girlfriend but went with someone else to the movies. Was it a pretty girl?"
"Haha, what do you need me for?"
"To hang out with you, of course. Didnât I say I was going to pursue you? Naturally, I have to ask you out on a date," Xu Shanshan said and giggled.
"Shanshan, donât tease me like that."
"Iâm serious! Anyway, I think Brother-in-law is great, and since my sister is blind to that, Iâll steal you away to be my husband, leaving her to be your sister-in-law, haha. Just thinking about it is thrilling. You used to be her boyfriend; I called you Brother-in-law. Later, when you become my husband, sheâll have to call you Brother-in-law too," Xu Shanshan said with a laugh.
Li Yifei suddenly felt a headache coming on. What was Xu Shanshan thinking? With a wry smile, he said, "Shanshan, my heart isnât strong enough to handle your teasing. Please spare me."
"Not a chance. To like is to like. If I donât fight for what I like, Iâll regret it for life. I wonât be foolish like my sister, only focusing on work," Xu Shanshan replied.
