Chapter 83: Sisters

Just as Jiang Chen was pulling the door closed and getting into the car, a fiery red BMW, under the respectful salute of the security guard, drove out of Spring and Autumn Plaza at a leisurely pace.

BMW M8.

0-100 km/h in 3 seconds.

Starting price: two million.

It can’t be considered excessively expensive, but it is still a toy for the wealthy.

The residents of Spring and Autumn Plaza are either rich or noble, as one can tell at a glance.

"Sis, stop for a second."

Just as the M8 was preparing to merge into the traffic, the girl in the passenger seat suddenly seemed to notice something, looking out the window with her obsidian-like eyes filled with surprise.

"What’s wrong?"

The driver was a very beautiful woman, with a classical melon-seed face, hair cascading like a waterfall, a straight nose bridge, and though she wore sunglasses which obscured her full appearance, just the frost and snow-comparable profile was worthy of four words.

Stunning beauty!

Different from the passenger seat girl’s innocent charm, her temperament was elegant and noble, to be admired from afar, an aura that made it difficult for one to harbor any disrespectful thoughts.

Following her sister’s gaze, a Panamera reflected on the lens of her sunglasses.

"I recognize that car; it belongs to a student from our school."

The girl in the passenger seat explained while keeping her eyes fixed on the Panamera.

The other party apparently didn’t notice the M8 she was riding in, or if they did, didn’t care as they drove past her.

Through the car window, the girl, blessed with beautiful features, could clearly see that a boy was driving.

"A student from Dong University?"

The stunningly beautiful driver also seemed surprised, then smiled and said, "Dong University really is a place full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, huh?"

It was clear that she subconsciously thought the other party must also be a resident of Spring and Autumn Plaza.

"Do you know him?"

The one sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Luo Li’er, who as a freshman had compellingly been nominated as a campus beauty.

Facing her cousin’s question, she hesitated to speak, her eyes flashing with the memory of being hit and then taken to the infirmary that night, yet in the end, she shook her head.

The incident was in the past, and she didn’t want to make more out of it.

The Panamera had already merged into the traffic, becoming part of the flow and gradually disappearing from sight.

"Does your hand still hurt? Do you want me to take you to the hospital to have it checked?"

The stunning beauty retracted her gaze, looking caringly at her sister’s hand still wrapped in gauze.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore, sis, don’t worry, it’s just a small wound."

The girl turned her head as if nothing had happened and smiled brightly.

"You, already an adult, still don’t know how to take care of yourself, even tripping over your own feet. I think you still need to listen to me and have a bodyguard follow you around, that way I could be at ease."

The stunning beauty looked at her sister’s delicate face, which even she admired, with undisguised affection.

"I don’t want one!"

Luo Li’er hastily refused, pouting, "Sis, please don’t arrange for me to have a bodyguard. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stay at school. I’m a student, what would having a bodyguard look like? What would my classmates think?"

"Then you have to promise me that something like this won’t happen again. Otherwise, as your older sister, I won’t have an explanation for our family."

"Sis, it was just an accident. I’ll be careful in the future."

Luo Li’er coquettishly said.

The stunning beauty shook her head.

"You, when will you ever grow up?"

The M8 was re-ignited, merged into traffic, then turned around and drove in the opposite direction of the Panamera.

"Your mom called me the day before yesterday."

"Ah, you’re so busy, I told her not to bother you all the time."

"You silly girl, your aunt is just worried about you."

"What did my mom say?"

Luo Li’er asked with a muffled voice.

"What else could she say?"

The woman turned her head to smile and said, "She was just asking about your well-being, worried that her precious daughter might be deceived at school."

Luo Li’er’s cheeks flushed slightly.

"Sis! I’m an adult! Who could deceive me?"

"You never know."

The woman said with a teasing smile.

"At your age, you’re in the throes of youth, and besides, you’re so good-looking. Can you honestly say no one at your school has pursued you? There must be quite a few, I presume?"

"Sis!"

"There’s no need to be shy in front of me."

The woman went on, "I was once your age too, so I can understand. They say not dating in college is a regret for life. Whether that’s true or not, I won’t judge, but there’s one thing I ask: if you ever really fall for a boy, you have to bring him to me, alright?"

Her tone was gentle, yet it carried an authoritative firmness that brooked no argument.

"Got it."

Luo Li’er slouched, her spirits flagging.

"I’m only looking out for you, so you don’t get fooled by some bad boy."

Luo Li’er didn’t argue; after all, she had no room to resist in front of this older cousin.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but recall the Palamera she had seen just moments before at the entrance of Spring and Autumn Plaza.

That was Li Shuru’s car; it was unmistakable, she’d seen its license plate many times in her social circle.

Only,

Why was it there?

The driver was a boy; when they passed by each other, she had seen him clearly. If nothing else, it was undoubtedly the same senior Jiang who had bumped into her.

Was he just passing by, or perhaps he was there to meet someone?

It wasn’t that she looked down on people.

After all, disregarding the villa area behind, even one of those three high-rise residences was worth tens of millions. Neither Jiang Chen nor Li Shuru could afford that with their means.

Luo Li’er seldom pried into other people’s business, but at that moment, curiosity sprouted within her.

-------------

Jiang Chen certainly saw that M8, but he didn’t pay it any mind. In a place like Spring and Autumn Plaza, not just ordinary supercars but even personal jets owned by residents wouldn’t be out of the ordinary.

The villa was bought, but what to do next was becoming a problem.

Tell Li Shuru directly?

Clearly, that was unrealistic.

A three million queue-jumping fee was one thing, not too outrageous, but a nearly two hundred million mansion? Jiang Chen didn’t believe she would have the psychological capacity to handle it.

Moreover,

The relationship between the two of them hadn’t reached that point yet.

If he had been a beast last night, perhaps Li Shuru might’ve been slightly willing to accept it.

Unfortunately, he had played the role of a moral exemplar.

As Jiang Chen was pondering how to handle the situation, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw,

talk about telepathy.

"Shu Rui."

Jiang Chen answered and put the phone to his ear, driving with one hand.

"Where are you?"

"I’m about to head back to school, why?"

"Will you come with me to the hospital?"

"When?"

"Now."

Jiang Chen was somewhat mystified, his thoughts immediately jumping to the possibility that something had happened to Li Shuru’s father...

"What happened?"

He tensed up.

On the other end, Li Shuru was silent for a moment.

"Ai Qian is at the hospital right now."

A thunderbolt out of the blue.

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"Who?"

"Ai Qian went to see my dad, my mom just called me."

Taken completely by surprise, Jiang Chen replied decisively, "Wait for me in your dorm, I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes."

"Okay."
