Chapter 871: Chapter 710: Liking You Since the First Glance 51_2
Lai Wei’s mom thought, how could she not mind, but when Hai En brought over the grapes, Lai Wei’s mom understood, because each grape was peeled clean, Lai Wei could eat them directly without even needing to pick them up; someone would just deliver them to her mouth.
Lai Wei’s mom widened her eyes, "Lai Wei, you..."
Hai En soothed Lai Wei’s mom’s anger, "Auntie, it’s fine, it’s fine, I’m taking care of her. I’m naturally a bit older than her, so it’s my duty to look after her."
Because of love, no grievances are held.
Lai Wei’s mom watched for a moment, shaking her head, "You, don’t be too good to her, or she’ll become spoiled."
"No, Weiwei cares about me too."
"Oh no, oh no, Lai Wei’s mom, your Lai Wei’s boyfriend’s car, the glass got smashed by some brat." Just when the atmosphere was joyfully pleasant, the neighbor next door yelled hurriedly downstairs at Lai Wei’s house, causing Lai Wei’s face to change drastically as she followed her mom out.
The neighbor lady looked panicked, "Weiwei, Lai Wei’s mom, your guest’s car has been wrecked, hurry and take a look."
Everyone living in this alley knows each other well, it’s just envy, who doesn’t know who.
"Is it serious?" Lai Wei’s mom asked, earlier she went to buy fruits and the car was still fine.
When going out, hearing the sour criticisms from others, she knew it was Hai En’s car; she just didn’t expect, in such a short moment, such a big incident happened, it’s simply, simply... too much to endure.
Lai Wei, with a calm face, led Hai En to the car, and upon arrival, a crowd had already gathered around.
Some people were taking photos of Hai En’s car, some were mocking.
Others discussed, "What a disaster, if this was a rented car, how would one pay for the damages..."
Yet, the gloating in their tone couldn’t be hidden.
Lai Wei was extremely angry, everyone seeing their family appear, quickly cleared a path, with a brick still embedded in the Ferrari’s windshield, tires deflated, with a knife stuck in them too.
The car body was covered in scratches all around, the once brand-new car now looked like it had been in a car accident, just short of being dragged to a scrapyard.
Lai Wei felt her eyes sting, deeply furious, while Hai En didn’t seem concerned about the car, seeing her about to cry, his anger surged instead.
He stood there tall and handsome like a crane among chickens, coupled with Lai Wei’s beauty, the two were a perfect match; despite his stern face looking a bit intimidating, the moment Weiwei lowered her gaze, warmth filled his eyes.
"What’s this? Isn’t it just a smashed car? Don’t cry."
Lai Wei widened her eyes, looking at the disfigured car, her voice tinged with sobs, "You can still laugh, it’s your car, your sister’s birthday gift to you."
For whom was she feeling sad?
Hai En’s smile didn’t fade, gently pinching her cheek, "But I don’t want to see you cry over such a trivial matter, go watch over Auntie, I’ll handle this."
"Okay."
Everyone observed Hai En’s tenderness towards Lai Wei, and previously bold comments began fading away, prompting people to automatically step back, gathering at a distance. Hai En circled his car, smirking at the onlookers, "Everyone, we all live in the same alley, so I’ll be blunt, whoever smashed my car, step forward to explain or compensate me directly, otherwise I’ll call the police."
No one moved, after all, the alley’s surveillance was broken, call the police then, let them; the police need evidence to arrest anyone, and he clearly doesn’t have any.
Seeing this malevolent attitude, Lai Wei felt it was terrifying, Hai En wasn’t angry either, looking at each gloating face, he chuckled, "Alright, if no one admits, then I’ll just call the police."
It took only a few minutes for the police to arrive, looking at the disfigured car, even the policemen were shocked. This old alley was infamous, people say barren mountains and turbulent waters breed malicious people, and it turned out to be true; here people ruled like kings of a fortress.
Especially hard to manage, outsiders don’t want to pass through here, and even with promises of old city renovation, these people demand outrageous prices, negotiations go nowhere; even after settling with most, those agreed people slowly start to renege, creating a huge workload.
Therefore, this place, in the capital city, is famously filthy, chaotic, and poor.
