Three hundred thousand.
Xu Yanshen couldn't even afford the 30,000 to 40,000 yuan he needed for hiring lawyers, deposits, and other expenses that might be involved. Where did he get the 300,000 to 400,000 yuan?
Seeing Xu Yanshen frowning and fidgeting in the car, the man with the earring couldn't help but get out to ask what was going on. Upon hearing the price was over 300,000 yuan, his face changed drastically, and he immediately started arguing, "What 300,000 yuan? It's just a dent! This can be fixed quickly, at most 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. How could it be 300,000 yuan? You're not trying to make a profit off this, are you? I know you guys best; you always exaggerate everything, and end up making a fortune yourself. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't be 300,000 yuan!"
The noise was so loud that even the chubby guy in the back seat got out.
The driver was so angry at being spoken to like that by a child that his face turned pale. He said expressionlessly, "Fine, then we'll call the police. You can deal with it together when the police arrive!"
The man with the earring had quite a temper, and Xu Yanshen frowned even more deeply, trying to appease the driver: "He's young and hot-tempered, just graduated from high school, and his family isn't well-off. Hearing about so much money made him lose his sense of priorities, so he spoke rather rudely. Uncle, please don't take it to heart."
The driver was slightly better because Xu Yanshen was good-looking and spoke politely, but he still grumbled, "I thought you were a pretty good kid, so I didn't argue with you. What do you mean by making a profit in the middle? Miss Ye is in the car right there. Do you think I would make that kind of money in front of her?"
Xu Yanshen smiled and said, "We really don't have much money on us right now. Why don't we park the car here first, and I'll make a call to ask about the situation at home? Can you give us a few minutes?"
"Handle it however you see fit. We've called the traffic police, and the final accident report will definitely show that you're fully responsible. If you can settle it privately, get the money in the account as soon as possible. Our Miss Ye is in a hurry and has other things to do!"
The driver's tone wasn't very friendly, but he ultimately forgave Xu Yanshen. It was just that Xu Yanshen was too good-looking. Even though the driver had met some people in the entertainment industry with Ye Yingying, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Xu Yanshen. This kid, without any makeup or embellishment, looked just as good as those celebrities.
He lowered his eyes, his polite demeanor making it hard to refuse him; he was clearly the kind of guy girls would like.
The driver went over to explain the situation to Ye Yingying and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
The man with the earring also went to park his car. After getting out, he couldn't help but say, "Damn it, this is just working for rich people. They're not all just laborers, and they're not necessarily that noble. Why do these laborers act like they're the best in the world? It's so annoying. Brother Shen, why are you so good-tempered now? These idiots who are obviously trying to scam people need to be taught a lesson—"
Xu Yanshen glanced at it, "Do you think things are still the same as when we were in school?"
The man with the earring felt uneasy under Xu Yanshen's gaze and immediately became listless. "What are we going to do? Where are we going to get over 300,000 yuan? We can't even get tens of thousands of yuan, how can we possibly get over 300,000 yuan?"
"Let's see if we can pay you back first," Xu Yanshen said, looking troubled.
As soon as they finished speaking, Little Fatty seemed to seriously check how much it would cost to repair such a luxury car after an accident. When he saw that the repair cost was over 500,000 to over 1 million yuan, Little Fatty almost fainted.
Seeing the man with the earring looking angry but unable to speak out, he couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. "Song Yiming, is that really all it costs? It might even be more expensive. I just secretly took a picture and searched it online. This is a limited edition car from last year. It's incredibly expensive. You can't even buy one for ten or twenty million. I saw it being resold online for tens of millions."
The car is indeed a limited edition.
The company was planning to arrange their own transportation for Ye Yingying, but when Ye Zhiwei found out, she told the company that Ye Yingying didn't need the company to provide the house or the car she needed, and that she would arrange it herself. Then, she gave Ye Yingying the limited-edition SUV that Ji Shuli had forgotten about and that had been gathering dust in the garage.
Many times, when celebrities in the industry secretly complain about Ye Yingying's status in the Ye family, they dare not say anything after learning what kind of car Ye Yingying drives. Others may not know how well Ye Yingying is treated, but just the fact that she drives such a luxury car shows that even though Ye Yingying is the Ye family's stepdaughter, the Ye family still takes her seriously. She is the eldest daughter of the Ye family, and anyone who wants to do anything sneaky has to think twice.
Unexpectedly, the luxury car that Ji Shuli had reluctantly parted with was involved in an accident on this very day.
How could the car that Ji Shuli bought through various means be cheap?
Xiao Pang's words immediately silenced Xu Yanshen and the man with the earring, both of them remaining silent because even ordinary car repair shops might not dare to fix such a car.
"What do we do? It's over! It's really over! Is it because Heng got into trouble that we're going to get into trouble too? Why is everything going wrong right after graduation? It's not as fun and carefree as it was in school. School was so great. If you didn't like something, you could just punch it. But there are so many twists and turns in society—" The man with the earring even resented Xu Yanshen.
Shen Heng's incident seems to have made Xu Yanshen much more restrained. Brother Shen wasn't like this before. In the past, even if someone outside the school dared to provoke Xu Yanshen, he wouldn't be afraid to fight. Perhaps because none of them had family to care for them, their grades weren't good, and they lived aimlessly, fighting was just a way to vent their emotions. But Xu Yanshen seems to be curbing this way of venting his emotions, and he's domineeringly forbidding them from continuing to act the way they used to.
So annoying.
What's the point of life if you don't fight? Unlike Xu Yanshen, who can fool girls with just his looks, he's not like that. Girls who are usually hard to get are no problem for Xu Yanshen. Even if they know that Xu Yanshen isn't serious and that he's only casual about girls' looks, they still break up with him quickly. Basically, Xu Yanshen gets bored after a few days, and if they're even slightly controlled, he breaks up with them. The girls cry and say they'll never dare to do it again and there's no way they can win Xu Yanshen back.
There are also girls from wealthy families who secretly take money from their families to buy expensive electronic products for Xu Yanshen, only to have Xu Yanshen give them all away.
I don't know what Brother Shen is thinking. What's wrong with spending girls' money? Why can't he find girls who are both beautiful and willing to give money?
Thinking it over, the man with the earring immediately had an idea. He sneaked closer to Xu Yanshen and whispered in his ear, "Brother Shen, did you hear that? The driver's boss is a woman. Who cares about Miss Ye or Miss Ye? It's much easier to deal with a woman like that. You're so handsome, what girl would be really mean to you? Why don't you offer to talk to his boss? What if that Miss Ye takes a liking to you? Maybe we can help Brother Heng find a lawyer and get all the bail money!"
While Song Yiming, the man with the earring, was making his own plans, Ye Yingying, seeing that the driver and assistant hadn't finished dealing with the matter, also got out of the car.
