Chapter 1: The chivalrous madman rams luxury cars into other luxury cars just to...
It was autumn, the weather was slightly cooler, and the sky was gloomy. Even at seven in the morning, there was no sign of the sun. Su Yinuo opened the door and was greeted by a cool breeze that blew her bangs. She shivered and quickly zipped up her coat.
Mother Zhang Lihua called out from behind: "Nuo Nuo, you forgot your hat."
Su Yinuo quickly turned around, supported her mother who was on crutches, and obediently stretched her head over to let her mother put on an old and frumpy gray fisherman's hat. Then she tilted her head back and smiled sweetly.
"Mom, sit down."
Su Yinuo helped her mother onto a chair, then squatted down to straighten her mother's empty trouser leg. She rolled it up to her knees and then secured it with a rubber band so that the trousers wouldn't get dirty on the ground or get tripped by anything.
On a nearby table lay a basket of wire and glue, along with boxes of brightly colored sand. Next to the sand sat one of Zhang Lihua's first cloisonné enamel creations: a dragon and phoenix tea tray.
"Mom," Su Yinuo helped Zhang Lihua tidy up the sharp scissors and tweezers on the table and reminded her, "Be careful when you do this. Don't hurt your hands. And if you get tired, take a break. If the customer keeps asking for an order, we can just not take it."
Zhang Lihua smiled, her eyes wrinkled. She put a mask on Su Yinuo, straightened her bangs that were almost covering her eyes, and said, "Are you the mother or am I? Stop worrying about me. It's getting colder and windy today. If there's no business, come back early."
"Yeah!" Su Yinuo nodded with a smile, ran out of the house holding his hat, got on the snack tricycle where the ingredients had already been placed in the yard, and drove towards a brand new day that was destined to be extraordinary in the cool autumn breeze.
To date, Su Yinuo has dropped out of school for a year.
A year ago, Su Yinuo, who had just entered university and had not had time to adapt to the pace of university life, received the news that his mother had been in a car accident.
The scene of the accident was extremely tragic. The mother, who was riding an electric tricycle, was knocked down by a car that suddenly rushed out at the fork in the road. Her right leg was crushed. After knocking down the mother, the car driver suddenly turned the steering wheel and hit the steel guardrail on the side. A long protruding guardrail pierced his chest and he died on the spot.
Su Yinuo's father had long since passed away, and now that her mother was in an accident, she was the only one who could step up and handle the situation. She rushed home in tears, enduring more than half a month of darkness: on one hand, her mother's condition worsened, and on the other, the family of the driver who caused the accident, who wanted to shirk responsibility, subjected her to a month-long barrage of abuse.
The driver's family refused to cover the medical expenses, claiming that Su Yinuo's mother was at fault for the driver's death and demanding compensation. Even after the traffic police later ruled the driver primarily responsible, the family refused to contribute a penny. Su Yinuo couldn't stand up to the scoundrel family, and fearing delays in her mother's treatment, she scraped together money from various sources and borrowed from relatives to cover the cost of her mother's surgery.
His mother had her right leg amputated, and the subsequent rehabilitation costs were a huge sum of money. She also needed someone to take care of her during the rehabilitation period, so Su Yinuo had no choice but to drop out of school.
She repaired her mother's tricycle and started a small business selling spicy hot pot on the roadside while taking care of her mother.
During this nearly one year, Su Yinuo moved around the city to several places and finally settled down outside the Near East Software Park.
The Software Park is home to numerous companies, and the back entrance is bustling with people during rush hour. Furthermore, the street adjacent to the back entrance has little traffic and is largely unregulated by the Urban Management Bureau. Consequently, a large number of food carts gather along the street, creating a vibrant food court filled with fragrant aromas. Even at lunchtime, many people flock to the back entrance to grab some cheap and delicious snacks to take back to the office.
Su Yinuo would arrive at her stall before eight o'clock every morning, but today, there was a little trouble.
When passing the busiest section of the Near East District, Su Yinuo drove her three-wheeled snack cart into a pile of luxury cars on the main road in order to avoid a water pipe that suddenly burst on the roadside.
An orange sports car coming from behind was unhappy and honked its horn frantically. Seeing that it still couldn't drive the snack cart away, it swerved and drove into the water to overtake, splashing a lot of water on Su Yinuo's snack cart.
Fortunately, the snack cart's compartment was closed, and the ingredients and seasonings were not soiled. Only half of Su Yinuo's trouser leg was splashed wet.
Su Yinuo sighed, thinking he was unlucky. As he was shaking the water off his trouser legs, he saw a dark figure suddenly rush out from the front. Then, there was a sharp brake sound, followed by a violent "bang".
Su Yinuo was startled and immediately stepped on the brakes, then stood there in shock.
The orange sports car that was overtaking just now was directly pushed up by a black luxury car that suddenly appeared, tilted 30 degrees and stuck on the side of the road.
While the two cars were still smoking, Su Yinuo came to his senses, took out his mobile phone and quickly searched the models of the two cars, and got the results: a black Rolls-Royce Phantom and an orange Maserati.
Su Yinuo exclaimed softly, "How much money must have been knocked away by this collision?" Then she was filled with panic, "This...this shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?"
The driver of the Rolls-Royce got out, and so did the driver of the Maserati.
The Maserati driver, who was originally arrogant, immediately lost his composure when he saw the other car. He put on a fawning expression and kept nodding, bowing and apologizing to the Rolls-Royce driver.
The Rolls-Royce driver ignored him, rolled his eyes at him, walked to the back seat, respectfully opened the door, and welcomed out a tall young man in a suit.
The man got out of the car neatly and quickly. Before Su Yinuo could see his face clearly, he turned around, leaving Su Yinuo with a tall and strong back.
Just looking at that figure from behind, Su Yinuo felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't dare drive away immediately, fearing they would find her and hold her responsible later. So she quickly pulled out the car keys and got out, standing obediently beside the car, ready to wait until the two sides finished negotiating before stepping forward to explain.
But unexpectedly, I saw another shocking scene.
The young man, with a look of anger on his face, grabbed the Maserati driver by the collar, dragged him to the edge of the puddle, and threw him directly into the puddle.
The Maserati driver was completely unable to resist. In the young man's hands, he was like a pheasant caught by a wild beast. He tumbled in the water and climbed up, shouting in panic: "What are you doing?"
"Apologize!" The young man's voice was extremely cold.
The Maserati driver, looking even more drenched than a drowned rat, was clearly shocked. Without a word, he yelled an apology: "I'm sorry!"
"Not to me, but to her!" The young man turned his head and looked at Su Yinuo. Just one glance, and that sharp gaze almost pierced Su Yinuo's brain.
So scary!
Su Yinuo immediately lowered her head and held the mask tightly, her heart beating so fast that it almost burst out of the mask.
The young man was very handsome, with almost perfect facial features, but his furrowed brow, cold eyes and chill all over his body made Su Yinuo completely ignore his appearance, leaving only a terrifying impression that she dared not look directly at.
At the same time, Su Yinuo also didn't understand his behavior at all.
Is this guy crazy? Using a luxury car to ram luxury cars is just to be a hero? This is so crazy, so scary!
The Maserati driver ran over as if he had lost his soul, bowed to Su Yinuo, who was wearing a tacky black jacket and a gray bucket hat, and shouted, "Auntie, I'm sorry!"
"No, no, it's okay," Su Yinuo said in a low voice, not even daring to raise her head.
"It's okay, it's okay," the Maserati driver suddenly came to his senses, took out his phone, scanned the payment code Su Yinuo had posted on the car, and apologized, "Auntie, I shouldn't have been so arrogant in front of you just now. I splashed your car, so I have to pay you compensation. Five thousand, is five thousand enough? If it's enough, just say it's okay!"
“It’s okay!!!” Su Yinuo roared with his eyes closed, feeling as if the whole world had gone crazy.
When she arrived at the back door of the software park, Su Yinuo was still in shock, her mind full of the figure of the young man.
After the Maserati driver paid compensation, the young man let him go and gave Su Yinuo a look to signal her to leave. From beginning to end, Su Yinuo never said a word to the young man.
Even though he is scary, I should still say thank you to him. I’m afraid we won’t have the chance to meet again in the future, right?
Never mind, we are not from the same world at all. I finally see how different the world is...
Su Yinuo shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and started setting up his stall today.
She locked the car, opened the window, hung up the sign that read "Auntie Zhang Malatang", laid out strings of cleanly washed vegetables, soy products, various meatballs, and meats, and placed various seasonings neatly in front of the vegetable basket. She then prepared the soup pot and turned on the fire.
She was very skilled and completed all the preparations in less than ten minutes, as skilled as an old lady who had been setting up a stall for ten years.
People who come to work in the morning are usually pressed for time, so Su Yinuo will cook some of the harder-to-cook skewers in advance and flexibly arrange the spicy hot pot into oden.
Although I arrived more than ten minutes late today, it didn't delay anything. The cooler weather also made Su Yinuo's steaming hot stall more attractive. People came over one after another, took a disposable lunch box and started to choose.
"Aunt Zhang, these, and two more bunches of lettuce, how much is it?"
Su Yinuo was already used to being called "Aunt Zhang." She took the lunch box, sorted the sticks, and said, "Fifteen, please wait a moment. I'll cook some vegetables for you."
"Aunt Zhang, mine is eighteen, you don't have to calculate it, hehe," another person handed over the lunch box.
Counting the skewers and calculating the price at a stall selling spicy hot pot is a hassle. Su Yinuo doesn't have any helpers, and if she does it all by herself, it will be very time-consuming during peak hours. So for customers who take the initiative to calculate the price, she will thank them and give them a bunch of side dishes or a few candies.
On weekdays, Su Yinuo is always busy and methodical. She is very satisfied with her current life, which is not only fulfilling but also brings in a considerable income. In less than a year, she paid off the 50,000 yuan she owed to relatives. She plans to work harder, pay off all her debts, and then get a custom-made prosthesis for her mother.
Life has never given Su Yinuo any preferential treatment. Her father died young, her mother was disabled, she lived in a dilapidated house, she could not finish her studies, and she had a lot of debts... All these things combined might be a disaster for others, but in Su Yinuo's eyes, they were just bumps in her life.
Although she was walking on a muddy road, the flowers on the roadside, the lush trees in the distance, and the sun rising and setting every day made her feel that life was full of hope.
She had forgotten the little episode in the morning in her busyness. When she was concentrating on frying a basket of side dishes, she heard a clear sneer coming from beside her.
