At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
Over the next few days in Chongqing, Jiang Xiaoli's life was very structured.
Every day, I accompany Xiao Muyu to the Jiang's Medical Aesthetics Research Center for treatment and chat with my grandparents to keep them entertained.
Of course, there is another very important job—being a light bulb.
Xiao Muyu and Jiang Chengle take her with them wherever they go on dates.
Jiang Xiaoli was now absolutely certain that Jiang Chengle was a very vengeful person.
Because—she's currently sitting in the extra seat next to the two-person table at the couples' restaurant.
"Brother Le, why are you so vengeful?"
Jiang Chengle looked at her innocently, "What's wrong?"
She couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Still pretending!"
Xiao Muyu didn't understand what they were talking about in riddles. "What are you two saying?"
Jiang Xiaoli said, "Last time, it was clearly a pre-arranged meeting between Zong Jia and me, but he just cut in line at the last minute. Look at him, you two take me everywhere you go and insist on booking a two-person table. I feel like I'm being targeted."
Xiao Muyu chuckled. "You really hold a grudge?"
Jiang Chengle shrugged. "I just asked a friend to recommend a restaurant suitable for a date. I forgot to mention that I also need to bring her along."
Jiang Xiaoli still crossed her arms and pouted, "Forget about you two giving me the ice cream."
Xiao Muyu was speechless. "Do you really have to go through all this trouble just to get a couple more ice creams?"
She happily ate her vanilla ice cream, thinking, "If I asked you directly, would you be so willing to give it to me?"
After finishing her meal, Jiang Xiaoli raised her chin and asked, "Where would you two like to go for a stroll next? Let me see if you'd like anything."
Jiang Chengle was speechless. "Shouldn't our dates depend on whether we like each other?"
She shrugged. "Well, sorry, if I don't like it, I'm taking someone home now."
Jiang Chengle: ...
"Let's go quickly, you'll definitely like the place we're going to today!" He felt like he was having a really tough time.
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "You've got quite the big talk. I'll see if I like it or not."
When she arrived at the venue, she really liked it!
This is the largest sports car club in Chongqing, right next to a standard racetrack.
As soon as they parked their car, a chubby white man came up to them and said, "Mr. Jiang, hello, the car is ready for you."
As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, Jiang Xiaoli was drawn to a guy covered by a car cover. "Brother Le, what's this car...?"
Jiang Chengle chuckled, "I said I'd give you a traffic light, and I think this one is perfect for you."
He snapped his fingers, and immediately a staff member pulled open the car cover.
The sports car club manager introduced, "This is a Lamborghini Diablo VT-R, a special customized model launched this year. It has a 5.7-liter engine, 555 horsepower and 580 Nm of torque, a top speed of 328 kph, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 4.09 seconds."
This is a rear-wheel drive version; only three were ever produced worldwide. This dark green one is from our boss's personal collection; we brought it out specifically because we heard Mr. Jiang liked it.
Jiang Xiaoli's eyes were practically glued to this precious darling. "Brother Le, this car...?"
Jiang Chengle opened the car door for her, "Take it for a test drive. If you like it, it's yours."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded frantically even before getting into the car, "I love it! I love it even if it's a beautiful but useless thing!"
She got into the car and gestured a couple of times, then turned to the sports car club manager and asked, "Can I go to the racetrack next door for a test drive?"
"sure."
Jiang Xiaoli got out of the car, and the staff moved it to the racetrack for her.
On the way, Xiao Muyu whispered to her, "Xiao Li, just try out the car. Don't drive too fast; it's not safe."
Jiang Xiaoli put her arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I value my life."
Many people at the racetrack are very familiar with this Diablo VT-R, but no one has ever been seen willing to drive it out.
I saw a Chinese girl get into the driver's seat, and a group of boys next to her started whistling.
However, one of them recognized Jiang Chengle, "Stop joking, this girl should be the young lady from the Jiang family of Chinese descent."
The jeering immediately subsided. "Didn't they say this young lady has been living in China all along?"
"Wudu is the Jiang family's stronghold, so it's normal for her to come back to visit relatives. Besides, isn't Le with her?"
The group of people chatted as they walked toward the viewing area where Jiang Chengle and Xiao Muyu were watching.
Jiang Xiaoli got into the car and got ready, then winked at them, "I'm off!"
All they saw was a gust of wind rushing by, the dark green sports car leaving a blur in their eyes.
While Xiao Muyu was still staring blankly at the taillights, Jiang Xiaoli had already returned after driving a lap around the track.
Knowing she was in for a scolding, she drove two more laps before slowing down and coming to a stop.
She got out of the car and walked up to Xiao Muyu, immediately raising her hand and swearing, "Just this once, I will never drive again without approval!"
Xiao Muyu swallowed back all the words she wanted to say, "You!"
The group of people who were exchanging pleasantries with Jiang Chengle excitedly said, "Le! Quickly introduce us to your sister!"
Jiang Chengle sighed and simply said, "They are Nolan, Soy, and Livay. This is my sister Jiang Xiaoli and my girlfriend Xiao Muyu."
The blond boy named Levi exclaimed dramatically, "Oh! Levi! You have a girlfriend!"
Jiang Chengle proudly said, holding Xiao Muyu's hand, "Yes, I love her very much."
Soy's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Xiaoli the entire time. "Miss Jiang, your racing skills are excellent. Would you be interested in joining us?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and shook her head. "Thank you for your kind words, but I'm sorry, I'll be returning to China soon."
"That's such a shame," Soy said, shrugging.
Nolan seized the opportunity to ask, "Would Miss Jiang be willing to run a lap with us?"
Jiang Chengle was pinched on the waist by Xiao Muyu and quickly stood up, "No, no, we just came to test drive the car. We have things to do at home and really can't play anymore."
Jiang Xiaoli remained silent under Xiao Muyu's gaze.
The three of them returned to the sports car club, where Jiang Chengle signed several documents with the manager.
He came back and said, "Okay, this big toy is yours, but it may take about two months to get it to China."
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Le!"
Jiang Chengle chuckled, "It's really not easy to hear a sincere thank you from you!"
On the way home, Xiao Muyu threatened, "There were so many people around that I didn't finish what I was saying. If you speed like that again, I'll definitely tell Auntie and Zong Jiayu!"
Jiang Xiaoli raised her hands and swore, "I promise I'll only play this game again after I get permission!"
She put her hands down and muttered to herself, "There aren't any places in China where I can run around and play freely!"
