Lin Jie was initially a little angry, but seeing that the young girl's attitude was alright, his anger subsided considerably.
Seeing the girl's bewildered expression, he smiled slightly and asked, "So, how do you plan to compensate me?"
Chu Lian'er was taken aback, blinked her innocent big eyes, and said, "Isn't it about paying compensation?"
Lin Jie smiled and pointed at the car, saying, "This car costs three or four hundred thousand yuan to buy. The scratch you just made must cost at least a thousand yuan, right?"
A thousand yuan is not much for ordinary people, but it can be a bit of a problem for students.
Chu Lian'er's reaction surprised Lin Jie.
When she heard that it would cost a thousand yuan, her pretty face turned deathly pale.
"One, one thousand?!"
Her family wasn't well-off; they only gave her 500 yuan a month for living expenses, and she had to work part-time to make ends meet.
One thousand yuan, that's equivalent to her monthly living expenses!
Is it difficult for you?
Lin Jie raised an eyebrow.
Chu Lian'er lowered her head slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I... I can do it."
Lin Jie saw through it but didn't say anything, and smiled, "Actually, it's not like there's no way."
"Huh?"
Chu Lian'er suddenly looked up at him, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.
Lin Jie smiled and said, "If a car is involved in an accident, you can file an insurance claim. Of course, the cost will be relatively high, and it depends on whether the car owner is willing to do so."
Chu Lian'er's expression softened slightly. She mustered her courage and nodded her head firmly: "Yes! I will sincerely apologize to the car owner and beg for his forgiveness."
Lin Jie put his hands behind his back and smiled slyly: "Alright, then you can begin."
"ah?"
Chu Lian'er stared at him blankly, not reacting for a moment.
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "I'm saying, I am the car owner. If you want to apologize, then go ahead."
As he spoke, seemingly worried that she wouldn't believe him, Lin Jie took out his key and pressed it.
The car immediately responded.
Chu Lian'er: ...
She never expected that the boy in front of her was actually the car owner, and that she had said so much to him.
Thinking about this, Chu Lian'er wanted to find a hole to crawl into!
That's so embarrassing!
Lin Jie watched the girl's changing expressions and found it amusing, a slight smile playing on his lips.
No wonder Lao Gu likes younger sisters like his junior; it turns out that cute younger sisters can be really delightful!
He suddenly realized that a loli might not be a bad option.
Chu Lian'er's face flushed red, and she stammered, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your car. If you want compensation, I... I can pay you!"
Lin Jie raised an eyebrow: "Weren't we supposed to be trying to get the car owner's forgiveness?"
Chu Lian'er turned her head away, somewhat ashamed: "I...I'll pay you back."
Lin Jie took out his phone and said, "Sure, transfer the money over."
"Oh? But...but I don't have any money right now. Could...could you give me a few more days?"
Chu Lian'er lowered her head and said weakly.
She only had two hundred yuan left, and even though school had just started, she had already bought a lot of things.
Moreover, her summer job pay won't be paid until the middle of the month.
Lin Jie shrugged: "Of course, but let's exchange contact information first, otherwise what if you run away?"
Chu Lian'er nodded quickly: "Thank you! I will definitely pay you back!"
She may be poor, but she is not poor in spirit!
After the two added each other on WeChat, Lin Jie received a call from Liu Qian urging him to return.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Jie glanced at her and smiled, "We'll meet again, Chu."
After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.
He flashed the headlights at her briefly, then stuck his head out of the car window: "Do you want to get in?"
"Huh? No need, I..."
Chu Lian'er was startled and quickly refused.
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Then why are you still standing there? Are you trying to extort money from me?"
Chu Lian'er's expression froze, and she quickly pulled her bicycle away.
Lin Jie gave her a deep look, then started the car and drove away from the cafeteria area.
Chu Lian'er stared blankly at the car's taillights, somewhat lost in thought.
………
"You unfilial son! Your father is back!"
Lin Jie carried breakfast back to his dormitory.
Liu Qian was lounging on the bed with his legs crossed, looking relaxed. When he saw Lin Jie, he curled his lip and said, "You're so slow even when I ask you to bring me food. Brother Jie, are you trying to starve your brother?"
Lin Jie chuckled: "Isn't it because of the traffic jam? There are too many people at school. I should have known better than to drive."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been scratched.
Liu Qian was taken aback: "You fucking drove here?"
Lin Jie nodded calmly: "Yes."
Liu Qian said with a sour look, "Holy crap, you're inhuman!"
He didn't even pass his driving test, but this guy is already driving a car.
"What? How did you know I drive a Mercedes E300?"
Lin Jie exaggeratedly picked at his ear.
"Get the hell out of here!"
Liu Qian threw a pillow at him.
You've already shown off all your skills, haven't you?
Lin Jie dodged Liu Qian's hidden weapon with a tactical head tilt and said calmly, "I actually regret it too. It's my first time driving here, and I've already been scratched."
"Oh? That's really sad."
Liu Qian said exaggeratedly.
Lin Jie's face darkened: "Could you please take your smile off when you say that?"
Liu Qian quickly became serious, looking worried: "Brother Jie, it's okay, the car is scratched, it's scratched, as long as no one is hurt, it's fine if it gets scratched a few more times."
