Chapter 108 – Grand Fashion Gala (6)
“Then, we’ll pay 2,000!” Without thinking, the bodyguard stated.
The aunty driver shockingly turned around and looked at the bodyguard.
Su Jishi said, “Who do you think I am? Do you think I can’t pay 2,000? I’ll pay 10,000!”
The bodyguard said, “Our Sister Xu pays 20,000!”
Su Jishi smiled. “50,000!”
The bodyguard clenched his teeth. “Our Sister Xu pays 100,000!”
The aunty driver shook her head back and forth and felt a concussion coming.
Su Jishi added onto the flare and said, “150,000!”
The bodyguard wasn’t stupid and he faintly felt as if Su Jishi was luring them into a trap. Which fool would pay that much for a motor tricycle ride? Yet, Sister Xu’s order was that no matter what, they were to steal the vehicle from Su Jishi at all costs. They mustn’t let the driver drive her to the scene.
Seeing that the bodyguard was in a difficult situation, Su Jishi purposely said mockingly, “That’s it? Your Miss Xu is a celebrity at the very least. She earns a few tens of millions from just being a spokesperson. Who knew she couldn’t afford this?”
The bodyguard was incited, so he immediately hollered unreasonably. “300,000! We’ll pay 300,000!”
“Ok!” The aunty driver burst into tears and immediately jumped out from the driver’s seat, saying incoherently, “300,000! 300,000 and this vehicle belongs to you guys!”
…
Su Jishi was standing by the side, holding onto the hem of her dress with one hand and her glass heels with the other. Her slender feet were exposed to the harsh wind, but she wasn’t trembling at all.
Xiao Xia glanced at the motor tricycle leaving far in the distance. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
She wanted to laugh because Sister Su actually made Xu Yadan pay 300,000 for a motor tricycle. Yet, she wanted to cry- what with that the motor tricycle was gone, how were they supposed to get to the scene?
There was an extreme traffic jam and the cars were stuck on the road, unmoving.
There was only 15 minutes left and two kilometers to cover. Were they going to run over there then?
“Sister Su, what do we do?” As Xiao Xia was talking, tears rolled down her face.
“What’s there to cry about?” Su Jishi laughed at her. “We’ll just change our mode of transportation.”
“Then I’ll go get rideshare…” Xiao Xia tried her best to think and replied.
“There’s no need.” Su Jishi shook her head and walked behind.
Xiao Xia followed her gaze to see a group of high schoolers who’d just got out of school not far away from them. They were carrying their backpacks and curiously looking in this direction. It was unclear how long they had been standing here. Someone was holding a phone in their hands and using the cover of their sleeves; they were secretly trying to take pictures of Su Jin. Yet, they didn’t know that the reflection of the screen revealed everything.
Seeing Su Jin looking at them, the high schoolers were startled. They didn’t know whether to leave or stay. The young body who was holding the phone to take a secret picture flushed nervously and hurriedly hid his phone in his sleeves.
This… this was Su Jin!

The high schoolers looked at each other feeling restless but also excited. To these young boys, Su Jin was like a beautiful dream. If they took an extra look at her in their dreams, they would have to sneak into their bathrooms in the morning and clean their pants before their parents came to wake them up.
Right now, the goddess in their dreams was standing right in front of them. She was smiling beautifully.
“Excuse me, my car broke down. Can I borrow yours?” Su Jishi asked.
She was pointing at the skateboards under the high schoolers’ feet.

In the sealed car, the faint sandalwood smell slowly spread along with the heater.
Mu Xiulun had finished looking through three reports and two virtual meetings, but the car hadn’t even budged 500 feet.
Sitting across him, Secretary Gao looked at the time and grimaced. “It seems like we won’t be able to make the red carpet opening ceremony by seven.”
“Since we can’t make it, let’s not attend it.” Mu Xiulun closed his fourth report and said like he wasn’t interested, “What does this Grand Fashion Gala have to do with me? Next time, reject this meaningless invitation for me.”
Secretary Gao bitterly smiled. “How can I reject it? Madam Mu sent this over and she specially ordered me to advise you to enjoy life, saying that after you and Miss Su Jin ‘broke up’, it has left a huge impact on you. You shouldn’t work so hard…”
Mu Xiulun mockingly smiled.
He knew that Madam Mu viewed him as a thorn in her eyes. However, he didn’t have any good opinion regarding the Mu Family either. However, in front of strangers, they needed to keep up appearances, albeit, what’s fake was fake in the end.
In the past few years, Mu Xiulun had been accumulating power in the dark. In order to keep the Mu Family off his back, he specially signed a contract with Su Jin where he would be her financial backer. He acted as though he found pleasure in women and made sure the entire family knew.
Now, he’d slowly risen to power and didn’t need to be restricted by the Mu Family. He might as well do what he wanted to do. The business deals that he successfully got made his adopted mother become apprehensive of him.
See, she hurriedly sent over an invitation for the Grand Fashion Gala. Accordingly, there were going to be many celebrities there. She must want him to find a woman.
Mu Xiulun wasn’t interested in this at all. He just wanted to show up at the gala and then leave quickly. Who knew that they’d waste so much time on the road?
He was done and decided to have the driver turn around to drive back home when he suddenly saw a flash of blue outside the window.
That figure moved ahead quickly as if stepping on the clouds. Whoosh. It passed by him just like that!
Mu Xiulun was speechless.
A flabbergasted Secretary Gao said, “Su, Su, Su…”
Mu Xiulun calmly finished. “Su Jin.”

Secretary Gao nodded his head frantically. “Yes, yes! It’s Su Jin! President Mu, did you see that? A high schooler was riding the skateboard with Su Jin!”
Next, as though to prove his words, a trio of familiar figures flew by.
It was the other high schoolers bringing Xiao Xia, Fang Xie, and A-Shan…
The two figures whooshed by rapidly and from afar, they could only hear A-Shan’s hoarse voice:
“Sister Su! Don’t go that quickly! Don’t forget that you’re the owner to a lake-view villa!”
