Chapter 4: The Overturned Car

Page 1/3

Xu Sian opened his phone to search for suitable commuter cars for girls, but to his surprise, all the results were the kind that Qiao Xu drove.

“I said, just bump into it, a rear-end collision is fine, just don’t hurt anyone.”

Driver: ?????

Bump into it but can’t hurt anyone?

“Hurry up.”

After being stuck for a long time, the traffic finally moved. The driver closed his eyes and slammed on the accelerator, crashing into the small Wuling electric car in front.

Xu Sian seemed unaffected by the collision; his body didn’t move at all.

However, the car ahead shook heavily.

His expression darkened as he kicked the driver’s seat. “I told you not to hurt anyone.”

The driver looked wronged. “Boss Xu, I really wasn’t driving fast.”

The Phantom had hit the small Wuling electric car, and passersby began envying the person driving it.

Who was so lucky to get a new car just like that?

Qiao Xu, who had been rear-ended, wore a dazed expression. She wasn’t new to car accidents.

Her driving skills were terrible—she usually crashed into others, but this time she was the one hit.

And…

She glanced in the rearview mirror—

A Rolls-Royce??

Oh my god, was she going to have to pay for this?

Qiao Xu’s worry was not unfounded, for a sticker with a popular internet phrase was stuck on her car:

“Terrible driver, prone to rolling back!”

That was it.

Qiao Xu checked her WeChat balance—58,300 yuan. That should be enough to cover the damages.

The car window was tapped, and Qiao Xu looked anxiously at the driver. “Sorry, um…”

“Sorry, ma’am, it was my fault for not braking in time. Could you get out and check the damage? We take full responsibility.”

With such a good attitude, it seemed she had no choice but to get out.

“Oh.”

Qiao Xu unbuckled her seatbelt and followed the driver to the back of the car.

Seeing the deeply dented front of the Rolls-Royce made her feel faint.

“Are you really taking full responsibility? I don’t have to pay anything?”

The driver nodded. “Yes, how would you like us to compensate you?”

The Buddha statue inside the car seemed to say a new car would be the proper compensation.

Qiao Xu reached out to touch the scraped rear bumper of her car. “No need. You seem to have it worse. No compensation. I’ll just buy some stickers to cover it up.”

Her car was covered with cute little stickers, each one a testament to her many bumps and scrapes.

The back door of the white Rolls-Royce Phantom opened, and a black leather shoe stepped onto the ground.

The driver straightened up. “Boss Xu, this lady says no compensation is necessary.”

Xu Sian cast a cold glance, and the driver fell silent.

“It was my driver’s fault.”

The driver’s eyes widened: ??? His fault? Wasn’t he the one who told me to crash?

Hearing the familiar voice, Qiao Xu turned in surprise. “Boss Xu?”

Xu Sian gave a cold “hmph.” “Buy the car yourself and get reimbursed, or have the company buy one for you. Your choice.”

Qiao Xu waved her hand. “No need, my car’s fine, no replacement necessary.”

Xu Sian fell silent for a few seconds. “Come to my office tomorrow morning.”

If she was to buy her own car, it was probably going to be the exact same model.

“Boss Xu, really no need to compensate, it’s just some paint scratches. This car is very durable.”

Xu Sian sneered coldly. “Durable?”

Qiao Xu was baffled by his sneer. Had she said something wrong? Wasn’t this car supposed to be very durable…

“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?”

Xu Sian got into the car, reversed, and backed up.

Qiao Xu seemed to understand what he was sneering at and quickly stood in front of the car. “Xu Sian, don’t go crazy.”

The driver was stunned. This lady was so brave, daring to call Boss Xu by his name.

The car window rolled down, and Xu Sian’s cold, handsome face leaned out. “Old Xu, drag her away.”

Old Xu dared not disobey. “Sorry, ma’am.”

“Bang!!!”

Qiao Xu looked speechless as the small Wuling electric car flipped sideways in front of her. She broke free from Old Xu’s grasp. “Xu Sian, are you crazy?”

Xu Sian didn’t even glance at the now-damaged Phantom.

Only Old Xu’s heart was bleeding.

A global limited edition!

Xu Sian got out of the car and approached her. “Come to my office tomorrow to get the car keys.”

Qiao Xu ignored him and took out her phone to call the insurance company.

Seeing that she wasn’t leaving, Xu Sian lit a cigarette and leaned against the badly damaged car front.

Old Xu dragged the seemingly lifeless body over to Xu Sian. “Boss Xu, should we call the insurance?”

“What insurance? I can’t afford to pay for some lousy little car.”

Old Xu looked at the broken front stuck under him. “And what about your limited edition car?”

Xu Sian looked at the woman on the roadside making the call and scoffed. “Fix it. If it can’t be fixed, then scrap it.”

Old Xu patted his chest in relief. Good, at least it wouldn’t be scrapped outright.

It was worth tens of millions and had only been driven twice.

Because it was rush hour, the insurance company arrived an hour and a half later.

Seeing the overturned Wuling and the…

The insurance agent nervously asked, “Miss Qiao, are you sure he hit you? Not that you flipped the car yourself?”

Qiao Xu pointed at the dented front. “Are you blind?”

“Make him pay based on the current value of the car.”

Qiao Xu was furious. This ghost just wouldn’t leave. She couldn’t avoid it, could she?

After settling the accident, Qiao Xu suddenly remembered her Cherry.

“Please take care of my car. Contact me if there are any issues later.”

Qiao Xu got back into her car, gathered her bag and some important items from inside, and stuffed them into her bag.

Then she headed toward the overpass.

Xu Sian saw her weaving through traffic and his brow twitched. He followed behind her.

Qiao Xu turned and shouted, “Don’t follow me.”

“Do you own shares in this road? Won’t let me walk?”

Qiao Xu: ……

Fine, she didn’t own shares.

Fortunately, after going down the overpass and passing two traffic lights, she arrived at her newly rented apartment—not too far.

Otherwise, she would have been exhausted.

Qiao Xu rented a one-bedroom apartment, just as a young couple was subletting it. She snagged a great deal.

For some reason, before entering the hallway, she glanced back.

She didn’t see that person and inexplicably felt relieved.

What Qiao Xu didn’t know was, at the moment she turned, a man stepped out from the shadows.

Xu Sian stood downstairs, checking the time. He saw the lights turn on.

He understood—it was the eighth floor, left side.

The code lock clicked open, and Qiao Xu heard a plaintive whimper.

“Cherry, mommy’s home.”

“Sorry, it’s all your dad’s fault—ugh, no, it’s that stinky man’s fault.”

Cherry was a little Corgi she had kept during her relationship with Xu Sian. When they broke up—

She—

Had stolen the dog.

Qiao Xu took a shower, planning to take Cherry downstairs for a walk and maybe buy dinner.

Having been cooped up at home too long, Cherry bolted as soon as they hit the stairs. Qiao Xu almost couldn’t hold her back.

“Cherry, slow down.”

Qiao Xu was speechless. How did this little thing have so much strength?

Every time, it was the dog walking her.

When they reached the community gate, Xu Sian just happened to be getting into the driver’s car. Through the rearview mirror, he saw a familiar figure.

“Stop.”

The car halted, and the scene of Qiao Xu tugging the dog and jogging appeared clearly in Xu Sian’s eyes.

He laughed bitterly.

So, this person not only stole his heart but also his dog.
