Chapter 283
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Today, Leng Zexi has fully experienced the meaning of this sentence.
Looking at the deflated tire in front of him and then at the empty trunk, Leng Zexi was filled with depression: "What on earth is going on? How could my car not even have a spare tire!"
Xia Ruoan, who was standing by, also looked at him with confusion as he moved the items out of the trunk one by one.
Until they finally opened the place where the spare tire was supposed to be placed, they were both dumbfounded - there was nothing there!
"Where did the tire go?" Xia Ruoan couldn't help but ask.
Leng Zexi was also full of doubts at this time. He frowned and muttered to himself: "Yeah, where is the spare tire..."
In desperation, he could only call the driver.
The driver's terrified voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "CEO, I'm really sorry, that car really doesn't have a spare tire."
"The tire was replaced once before. Since your car requires original parts, we have already reported to the manufacturer and placed an order, but it has not arrived yet. I blame my negligence for forgetting to inform you in time."
"Didn't this car just get a new spare tire the day before yesterday? How come it broke down again so soon?"
The driver was obviously unsure about this question and answered hesitantly: "Well... I don't know the specific reason. Maybe something happened on the road that caused the tire to be severely damaged."
Leng Zexi let out a long sigh, secretly regretting why he was so unlucky to choose this car to travel.
The driver didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that the president drove out in this car.
"President, please send me your location and I'll have someone handle it." This was indeed his oversight. If he had reminded him earlier, this would not have happened.
Leng Zexi nodded and said to the phone: "Okay, send someone to tow the car back for repairs."
After that, he hung up the phone and sent the driver his current location information.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The driver responded without hesitation, feeling a little guilty. After all, it was his negligence that led to the current situation.
Xia Ruoan called Zhong Zishu, briefly explained the situation, and asked him to come and pick up the person as soon as possible.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruoan turned to Leng Zexi beside him and said, "It seems we have to wait here. Second brother said he will come to pick us up later."
"Why don't you get in the car first? The sun is too strong outside, don't get sunburned." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan worriedly.
Leng Zexi looked guilty and said softly, "I'm so sorry, it's my mistake that put us in this situation."
"Don't say that. The scenery here is quite pleasant. It can be considered a pleasant surprise." Xia Ruoan looked around and said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked in the direction of Xia Ruoan's finger, and saw a gorgeous sea of flowers swaying in the wind not far away. The colorful flowers appeared before his eyes like a beautiful painting.
"Yes, the scenery here is so beautiful! It's worth the trip to see such a beautiful scenery." Leng Zexi responded with a smile, his eyes full of joy and satisfaction.
Leng Zexi looked at her gratefully, and then said, "I'm glad you're not angry with me. If I had paid more attention to the route when I was driving, I wouldn't have gotten lost and ended up here."
Xia Ruoan patted his shoulder soothingly and said gently: "How can this be blamed entirely on you? In fact, I didn't pay close attention to the road myself. If I had reminded you in time, perhaps this situation would not have happened."
"Besides, this is your first time here, so you're bound to be unfamiliar with the road conditions. At least I've been here once before. So, let's not dwell on who's right or wrong."
At this moment, a clear and pleasant sound of running water reached their ears. Xia Ruoan looked in the direction of the sound and was surprised to find a clear stream not far ahead.
So, she turned to Leng Zexi excitedly and suggested, "Listen, there seems to be a stream over there! How about we go over there and take a look?"
Xia Ruoan stared at the beautiful water lilies below the stream with eyes wide open, her heart filled with disbelief. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Oh my God! There is such a coincidence." Before she finished speaking, Xia Ruoan couldn't hold back her excitement and walked quickly towards the stream. When she reached the shore, she took off her shoes without hesitation and stepped directly into the clear stream with bare feet.
Because this happened to be the subject of her research, she never thought that she would encounter the physical sample she had dreamed of in this place. At this moment, Leng Zexi, who had been following behind, saw this and rushed forward, tightly grasped Xia Ruoan's arm, and shouted: "What are you doing?"
Xia Ruoan quickly turned around and pointed at the water lilies not far away with excitement, explaining: "Look, there are water lilies over there! I want to go over and take a closer look."
Leng Zexi frowned, looked down at the stream, and said in a deep voice: "No, there's mud underneath. It's too dangerous. I'll go over and pick them up. You just stay here and don't move." After that, he let go of his hand and pretended to walk into the water.
However, Xia Ruoan hurriedly stopped him and said anxiously: "Don't do that! These water lilies are precious specimens, and their growth environment cannot be easily destroyed. You just need to help me take a few clear photos, and don't damage their roots." As she spoke, she quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and handed it to Leng Zexi.
When Zhong Zishu hurried over, he saw from afar the two of them sitting leisurely beside the stream, with happy smiles on their faces.
He walked up quickly and shouted, "You two really know how to have fun! Are you trying to have fun in this hardship?"
"Don't waste time. They've been waiting for me to take you away year after year."
As he spoke, Zhong Zishu waved at them eagerly, signaling them to get up quickly and follow him.
Hearing the shout, Xia Ruoan turned around, excitedly raised the phone in his hand to Zhong Zishu, and said happily: "Second brother, come and see!"
"There are actually water lilies here, and they are top quality! Brother Leng just took a lot of beautiful photos for me. I'll send you a copy later."
As she spoke, she handed the phone to Zhong Zishu.
Zhong Zishu immediately became interested when he heard this, and quickly reached out to take the phone and looked at it carefully.
The water lilies on the screen were so gorgeous and beautiful that they were truly top-quality.
He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and said to Xia Ruo'an with a smile: "It's really good, remember to send me a copy later."
At this time, Zhong Zishu suddenly remembered that he had heard that Xia Ruoan's research topic after the start of the school year had been changed to something related to water lilies.
So he joked, "It seems like you really got a blessing in disguise this time. You originally encountered some minor troubles, but unexpectedly found such a good research subject."
Xia Ruoan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, smiling as brightly as a flower blooming in spring: "Yeah, I also think I'm quite lucky."
Then, Zhong Zishu's eyes fell on Leng Zexi's car nearby. He walked around the car, frowned and asked in confusion: "Leng Zexi, why don't you have a spare tire for your car? Do you not know how to change a tire at all?" As he said that, he bent down to check the deflated tire.
"There is no spare tire in the car at the moment. The previous one has been replaced, and the new one has not arrived yet, so there is no time to put it in."
"Let's go to the orchard first. Someone will come to deal with this problem in a while."
Leng Zexi looked at the other party seriously and patiently explained the current situation.
"Okay, let's go first." When Zhong Zishu heard that someone would come to deal with the matter, his worries were immediately alleviated a lot, and he nodded readily in response.
Along with Zhong Zishu came a burly bodyguard with a serious expression.
The bodyguard is mainly responsible for waiting here for the arrival of relevant personnel to properly resolve vehicle issues.
Soon, they arrived at the orchard.
As soon as they entered the orchard, the two little guys Suisui and Niannian saw Xia Ruoan from afar and immediately ran over happily.
When Xia Ruoan saw her darlings running towards her, a bright smile instantly broke out on her face. She ran over with joy in her heart. When she was almost there, she squatted down, stretched out her arms, and waited quietly for the children to throw themselves into her warm arms.
Leng Zexi, who was standing aside, watched this scene with great interest, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
But what made him feel a little strange was that why the little brat Ningning was nowhere to be seen?
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Sui Sui, who was closer to Xia Ruoan, ran to her first and hugged her tightly.
When Niannian, who was lagging behind, saw this, she realized that her mother seemed to have completely ignored her father's open arms.
With a sudden inspiration, she flew directly to Sui Sui's back, so that her mother could hold him in her arms!
Leng Zexi, who witnessed this funny scene, couldn't help but burst into laughter, but at the same time he felt angry and amused.
There was no other way. Since his eldest son and second son were so disrespectful to him, he had to turn around and look for his youngest son Ningning, hoping to get some comfort from the little guy.
"Where is Ningning?" Leng Zexi asked the bodyguard who followed Ningning.
The bodyguard also looked helpless. He suppressed his smile and pointed at Ningning who was still on the tree.
Ningning insisted on climbing up and now doesn't dare to come down. The bodyguard originally planned to carry her down, but he didn't want to be laughed at for being a coward, so he didn't dare to come down.
Ningning was also stubborn and said that he wanted to pick apples from the tree. He even climbed up a bit, but now he didn't dare to come down.
Like a koala, he clung to the branch and dared not move.
