Wang Hu had originally planned to share a bed with Meng Zhiyun, but the moment the thought crossed his mind, she ruthlessly rejected him.
There is a local tradition that the bride and groom must not share a room or sleep in the same bed before the wedding ceremony.
If it were found out by one's parents, it would be fine, but if it were spread among the neighbors, it would inevitably attract countless rumors and become a topic of conversation and a source of amusement.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking and the sun had not yet fully risen, a special trailer from a Mercedes-Maybach 4S dealership slowly drove into view.
Several well-trained staff members in uniform quickly got out of the car and began to skillfully perform a series of operations on the damaged vehicle.
First, he carefully took photos around the car body, and then, based on his extensive experience and professional knowledge, he conducted a comprehensive assessment of the car's condition.
After a thorough and meticulous inspection, it was concluded that both headlights of the car were damaged to varying degrees, with one requiring a replacement cost of 45,000 yuan; the repair costs for the paint and windows were relatively lower, totaling no more than 20,000 yuan.
After Wang Hu confirmed the details and signed the assessment form, the staff skillfully towed the damaged vehicle onto the truck and secured it. They then unloaded another Mercedes-Benz G-Class from the tow truck and handed the keys to Wang Hu, indicating that he could use the car temporarily. Wang Hu happily accepted the keys and eagerly went to examine the vehicle before him.
However, when he noticed the license plate, a sense of disappointment welled up inside him. So he casually asked the staff member next to him, "Is this car brand new? If so, I'll buy it."
The staff member smiled and replied, "I'm afraid it's not Mr. Wang. You see, the car already has license plates." Upon hearing this, Wang Hu couldn't hide his disappointment. He had originally thought that if it really was a new car, he would simply buy it.
Seeing his disappointed face, the staff member had an idea and said, "Mr. Wang, if you want a new Mercedes-Benz G-Class, I can help you contact a local 4S store in Shangqiu. They should have new cars there."
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Wang Hu finally shook his head and gave up the idea of buying it.
After all, they might not stay here for long, and even if they bought the car, they would have nowhere to put it, and Meng Zhiyun's parents had not yet obtained their driver's licenses.
Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll make plans when I get back to Ningbo."
Just then, the 4S store staff left, and Meng Zhiyu walked out of the store carrying a heavy backpack.
Upon seeing Wang Hu, she immediately ran up to him, complaining with a wronged expression, "Brother-in-law, I was hoping you would drive my 15 million yuan luxury car to school, but someone else took it away!" She then pouted her pink lips in dissatisfaction.
It turns out that Meng Zhiyu had taken leave from school a few days ago because her father was accidentally injured.
Last night, she carefully packed her luggage and school supplies, happily imagining how her classmates would look at her with envy when her brother-in-law drove her to the school gate in that luxury car.
However, this beautiful fantasy has suddenly shattered, causing the little girl's mood to plummet.
Hearing Meng Zhiyu's words, Wang Hu couldn't help but smile slightly. He reached out and gently patted the little girl's head, then pointed to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class parked to the side and said, "Little Yu, be good. Although this car of yours isn't as expensive as the one we just had, it's still worth over a million. How about this, I'll drive you to school in this car?"
Looking at the other car next to her, Meng Zhiyu asked Wang Hu with surprise, "Brother-in-law, is this car yours too? It looks so cool, just as cool as the one we just saw. Why is that car so much more expensive than this one?"
“The brands are different. This one is made specifically for luxury goods. Its brand value is higher, so the price is more expensive. Get in, I'll take you to school first.” Wang Hu said, opening the car door.
Before the car even started moving, Meng's mother came out, stopped her, and asked Meng Zhiyu, "Did your brother-in-law give you 20,000 yuan? Where is the money? I didn't see it at home."
She said, looking aggrieved, "This was given to me by my brother-in-law, you can't take it back." Then, looking aggrieved, she took out the 20,000 yuan from her bag.
“I didn’t say I was taking it back, but why are you showing off so much money at school?” Meng’s mother took the money, gave her 500 yuan, and said, “I’ll keep the money for you. If you need it next time, come to me. You’re not allowed to bring so much money to school.”
Wang Hu drove Meng Zhiyu, who looked aggrieved, to school. Looking at her tearful face, Wang Hu said, "Don't be upset. What if you lose all that money at school? That would be even more upsetting. Mom took it away to keep it safe for you, not to confiscate it."
Meng Zhiyu thought it made sense. She had brought so much money with her today because she wanted to show it off, including having Wang Hu drive her to school. After hearing what Wang Hu said, she came to her senses.
Just as the car entered the village, Wang Hu inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure slowly walking along the road; it was a woman.
She walked calmly towards the edge of the village, and the clothes she wore looked quite familiar. A sense of unease arose in Wang Hu's heart. He looked closer, and when he recognized her face, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, isn't that Li Yueru!"
As the car approached the woman, its speed gradually decreased. Finally, the car came to a smooth stop beside her. Wang Hu gently rolled down the window and leaned out to greet her warmly, "Teacher Li, where are you going? Do you need a ride?"
Hearing the voice, Li Yueru stopped and turned to look into the car. When she realized that the speaker was Wang Hu, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, and she replied softly, "Oh, it's Mr. Wang. I was planning to go to town to take care of some things. But my bicycle broke down, so I had no choice but to walk. I don't know if it's on your way, but if it's inconvenient, that's fine too."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu turned to look at Meng Zhiyu sitting beside him, his eyes seeking her opinion. Meng Zhiyu nodded knowingly, indicating her agreement to let Li Yueru hitch a ride.
She smiled and said to Li Yueru, "We're going the same way, that's perfect. We're going to town anyway, the school's right there. Yueru, get in the car!"
As she spoke, Meng Zhiyu added, "And this car belongs to my brother-in-law, it's worth over a million!" Her words revealed a hint of boasting.
Wang Hu smiled slightly after hearing this and explained, "Actually, this car isn't mine. My car was sent for repairs, so the 4S shop is temporarily lending me a spare car."
"I was originally considering buying it, but then I found out it was a used car, so I gave up on the idea."
