183: Chapter 183: Let’s break up, we’re not right for each other!
Qian Xiaorou, having grown up in a large family, of course understood what her father’s look meant.
However, she held a deep aversion to Ning Fan, and given that Ning Fan hadn’t shown her any kindness just a moment ago,
it greatly displeased Qian Xiaorou, who always prided herself as a “daughter of the heavens”.
So, she purposefully pretended not to see her father’s look and just kept her head down, eating.
Qian Nengde, with no other option, coughed once and said in a serious tone, “Xiaorou, you drive God Doctor Ning home, will you?”
Seeing her father speaking up to urge her, Qian Xiaorou said impatiently, “Why must I always be the one to drive, I’m not a chauffeur.
Can’t he drive himself home?”
“Nonsense, how can we let God Doctor Ning drive himself?
You girl, don’t you understand anything at all!”
Qian Xiaorou’s outright refusal in front of so many people put Qian Nengde in a bad light and, unable to hold back his anger, he exclaimed furiously, “Today you must drive him, whether you want to or not, otherwise, you’re no longer my daughter!”
Qian Xiaorou’s eyes widened, hardly able to believe her father would say such a thing.
Seeing Qian Nengde’s stern face, her lips puckered and tears began to shimmer in her eyes.
“Ah haha, Old Qian, you’re wrong here.
Why force her if your girl isn’t willing?
I can drive God Doctor Ning home, can’t I?
I know you just bought your limited edition Maybach not even a month ago,
but today I happened to come in a Rolls-Royce.
Having my car drive God Doctor Ning home wouldn’t exactly be a step down, right?” said the Pan-surnamed businessman, who had earlier chat with Ning Fan, laughing heartily.
“No, no, Old Pan, you’ve had quite a bit to drink just now.
Be careful not to have any trouble on the road.
Let me take God Doctor Ning home,” he insisted.
In an instant, due to Qian Xiaorou’s reluctance, those volunteering to take Ning Fan home were numerous and eager.
And each time someone spoke up, it was as if they were slapping Qian Nengde’s face, a burning sting!
In such a public setting, if not even his own daughter would listen to him, what authority could he claim to have!
Moreover, Ning Fan’s status was evident.
It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t drive him; plenty were eager to do so.
If they could chat with God Doctor Ning on the way home and cozy up to him, who knew what benefits it might bring in the future.
Everyone present was shrewd, and they knew it well in their hearts.
“How can we let you drive Mr.
Ning home, you’re all guests here,” said Qian Nengde, laughing heartily.
Just then, Ning Fan slowly stood up.
Although the business tycoons were eagerly courting him, his expression remained cool and detached, showing little reaction.
Looking at Qian Nengde,
he smiled and said, “As the saying goes, ‘One servant doesn’t serve two masters.’ Since I was picked up by Mr.
Qian, I should be sent back by the same.
Since your daughter is unwilling to be my driver, I might as well drive myself home.
It just so happens that I’d like to see what it feels like to drive a limited edition Maybach.”
Ning Fan looked at Qian Nengde and spoke with a smile.
“Great, great, no problem, here’s the key.
God Doctor Ning, drive as long as you like, and if you fancy it, just park it in your own garage.
It’s just a small token of appreciation, no need to mention it!”
With Ning Fan offering Qian Nengde this much face, the resentment in his heart completely dissipated.
He waved his hand grandly, ready to gift the limited edition Maybach, valued at over ten million, to Ning Fan.
“There’s no need to gift it to me, just come to me when you need it,” said Ning Fan, taking the keys from Qian Nengde’s hand with a slight smile.
Among the voices of those trying to hold him back, Ning Fan bid farewell one by one and calmly walked out of the Emperor Hall’s private room.
“Tsk tsk, not bad, this luxury car,” he remarked.
Exiting the club, Ning Fan made his way to the parking lot and found Qian Nengde’s limited edition Maybach.
“Beep beep!”
With a light flick of the car key in his hand, the car unlocked.
A young man in a security guard uniform immediately jogged over from the nearby parking lot, opening the driver’s door for Ning Fan,
and asked enthusiastically, “Hello, do you need valet service?
It’s one of our club’s offerings.”
“No need, you can go back to work,” said Ning Fan, waving his hand before starting the car and driving away with aplomb.
Although he had drunk quite a bit, his physical constitution was such that by the time he walked out of the club, half of the alcohol had already evaporated from his body,
and he estimated that by the time he got home, even if a traffic police officer jumped out from the roadside to test for alcohol, they wouldn’t find any issues.
“The engine of a luxury car is just awesome, the acceleration is so quick over a hundred meters!”
Ning Fan pushed the speed to the limit, weaving through the traffic, getting a thrill out of speeding.
Over the years, he had always acted mature and composed, and the wild Ninth Master inside him seemed to have faded with time.
But when the speed increased, Ning Fan realized that his adventurous spirit had never diminished over time; he had simply hidden it away, waiting for the right moment to be rekindled.
Half an hour of speeding left Ning Fan feeling exhilarated.
Seeing the traffic lights twinkling ahead, he lost the desire to speed through at the last second and steadied the car to a stop before the crosswalk.
Although the car belonged to Qian Nengde, and he definitely wouldn’t mind Ning Fan speeding or breaking traffic laws, Ning Fan was in a good mood now and didn’t feel like flouting the rules needlessly.
While waiting for the traffic light, Ning Fan suddenly frowned, because he saw an extremely familiar face!
Zhu Xuetao!
Just as Ning Fan was preparing to drive over to say hello, what he saw made him slightly puzzled, and he abandoned the idea of getting out of the car.
At that moment, Zhu Xuetao was holding a bunch of flowers and also carrying a white paper bag which, with Ning Fan’s exceptional eyesight, he made out to be the latest product from Apple.
Holding flowers and an iPhone — it was clear he was waiting for a woman!
“Better not to disturb the guy, just watch the drama unfold.”
Ning Fan smiled slightly, quietly observing through the rearview mirror.
Sure enough, as he had expected, within a few minutes, a young girl with a slender figure, beautiful curves, and fashionable attire appeared in his field of vision, carrying a bag on her shoulder.
Upon seeing the girl show up, Zhu Xuetao’s face broke into a smile, a clear contrast to the always stern-faced Captain Zhu.
“Lulu, you’ve arrived.”
Zhu Xuetao greeted her with great happiness.
“Look, Lulu, this is the new Apple 10x I bought for you, and your favorite roses.”
As he spoke, Zhu Xuetao offered the flowers and phone.
You have to understand that just the Apple 10x alone cost him two months of salary!
While the Apple 10x might be worthless in the eyes of some, to Zhu Xuetao, it represented all his love.
“Zhu Xuetao, I don’t think we’re suitable for each other.
Don’t bother me again in the future,” the girl suddenly said out loud, with a haughty expression on her face.
“This…
why?
Lulu, you must be joking, right?”
Zhu Xuetao was initially stunned, then he smiled and said sincerely, “Lulu, I love you, this is everything I have.”
With that, he once again extended the iPhone and flowers toward her.
“Can’t you understand what I’m saying?”
But the girl looked at him with a hint of disdain, tossed the flowers Zhu Xuetao handed her to the ground, and trampled them into a mushy mess.
“Zhu Xuetao, you think you could win me over?
What makes you think you’re worthy of saying you love me?
Can you give me happiness?
You’re just a security captain at a corporation; with your measly salary,
I bet all of this cost you several months’ worth of wages!”
With a disdainful glance, the girl continued, “Look at my handbag, a limited edition Hermès, one bag is enough to top half a year of your salary,
you think gifting an Apple indicates you’re a tycoon?
It only proves you’re just a bumpkin!”
The girl’s sharp and hurtful words left Zhu Xuetao frozen on the spot!
