Chapter 771: Chapter 772: Luxury Car Compensation

The next morning, Cheng Xiaoyue woke up early.

After freshening up, she arrived at the entrance of the villa, where a gust of fresh air filled her abdomen, accompanied by the fragrance of various flowers and plants, invigorating her spirit completely.

Living in the city every day, Cheng Xiaoyue had gotten used to the polluted air, which made her feel as if she had returned to nature, an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

If one could live in such an environment, their mood would be unimaginably pleasant, which made Cheng Xiaoyue genuinely envious.

"Miss Cheng, the lady invites Miss Cheng to have breakfast," a housekeeper said respectfully.

"Okay," Cheng Xiaoyue replied, then followed the housekeeper toward the main villa.

Since it had been dark yesterday, she hadn’t properly seen the scenery in the courtyard, and her mind was also in turmoil. Today, everywhere she looked, she got a sense of ancient garden architecture, every part seemed like a masterpiece of an art master, making her overwhelmed by the sights.

Upon reaching the main villa, Cheng Xiaoyue unconsciously adjusted her clothes before entering.

"Xiaoyue is here, come and sit, let’s have breakfast together," Lin Su’er called to Cheng Xiaoyue.

Cheng Xiaoyue quickly flashed a sweet smile and said, "Thank you, Lady Lin."

Lin Su’er smiled and said, "Don’t call me that, just call me Su’er."

The two reached the dining hall, where they saw several stunning girls sitting at the table, while Song Xiaodong was seated in the main chair, and a few housekeepers were bustling about placing items on the table.

Everyone invited Cheng Xiaoyue to sit down, which made her quite uneasy, as she had never experienced such elaborate breakfast arrangements.

However, seeing Miao Xuanxuan and others cracking jokes with Song Xiaodong and calling her over to join, Cheng Xiaoyue began to relax gradually.

After breakfast, Lin Su’er left first, then Miao Xuanxuan, Xiao Yingying, and Shui Qinghe led Cheng Xiaoyue on a tour around the courtyard, while Song Xiaodong was busy dealing with some work with Su Yuya and Shui Qingyue.

Shui Qingyue had also been very helpful to Song Xiaodong recently, behaving increasingly like a competent assistant. Moreover, being born into a large family, she had some experience in handling family affairs, and under Su Yuya’s guidance, she had progressed very quickly.

While touring the courtyard, Cheng Xiaoyue suddenly saw several people enter, one of whom was Sun Zilang. This startled her—could it be the Sun family members coming to seek retribution?

"Let’s go, seems like we can stir something up, let’s have a look," said Miao Xuanxuan, who had already heard about yesterday’s events from Cheng Xiaoyue. Knowing Sun Zilang had arrived, she excitedly added.

At the entrance of the villa, Sun Zilang and others were talking with Song Xiaodong. Sun Zilang wore a distressed expression, repeatedly making apologies to Song Xiaodong, while other Sun family members were also apologizing to him.

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyue approaching, Song Xiaodong said, "Xiaoyue, they’ve come to apologize to you, and this is your compensation," pointing to a set of car keys on the table.

Cheng Xiaoyue noticed at a glance that it was a Porsche car key. Even a relatively cheap Porsche would cost around a million. The way they apologized was indeed too generous.

"No... it’s not necessary," Cheng Xiaoyue was somewhat flustered.

Xiao Yingying immediately pulled her aside and whispered in her ear, "Don’t turn down something free, especially since he tried to bully you yesterday."

Then, somewhat embarrassed, Cheng Xiaoyue said, "Okay, let’s just let this matter go, then."

Finally, Sun Zilang breathed a sigh of relief, and together with a few other Sun family members, he left. Fortunately, his father had advised him yesterday to take the initiative to apologize, otherwise, if Song Xiaodong had come knocking, who knows what would have happened.

Song Xiaodong tossed over the car keys, which Xiao Yingying immediately caught and said, "Come on, let’s go see which model they sent. If it’s a cheap one, we won’t accept it."

The group ran to the parking lot inside the courtyard and were dazzled by the lineup of luxury cars parked there.

Xiao Yingying pressed the remote, and a sky-blue Porsche 911 emitted a crisp beep.

"It’s just a 911, how boring," Xiao Yingying pouted.

Cheng Xiaoyue widened her eyes and said, "How can a 911 be boring? Doesn’t this car cost over two million?"

"About that," Xiao Yingying said casually before stuffing the car keys into Cheng Xiaoyue’s hands, "I thought it was something really good, so I was going to have fun driving it. Since it’s not that exciting, I’ll give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Cheng Xiaoyue’s eyes widened.

With an expression as if it were obvious, Xiao Yingying said, "Yes, since they’re compensating you, of course, it’s for you."

"This won’t work! This won’t do!" Cheng Xiaoyue was startled, hastily refusing. Her income had indeed increased a lot recently, but a sports car worth about two million? Just given away like that, she couldn’t accept it.

Shui Qinghe said with a giggly smile, "If you don’t want it, give it to me then. I just happen to need a car."

Miao Xuanxuan thumped Shui Qinghe on the head and said, "It’s not meant for you, what are you randomly asking for?"

Shui Qinghe pouted, "Then later I’ll also go out and find trouble, then make the other party compensate me with a car too. Yeah, that’s a good idea."

Miao Xuanxuan laughed out loud, "If you do that, I bet your brother-in-law would spank you. You’re just looking for trouble, wanting to bully others. He really dislikes that."

Shui Qinghe rolled her eyes, "Really? Then I wouldn’t have any car to play with."

Xiao Yingying said, "There are so many cars here; just pick any one you like to play with."

Groggily following the group back to the main villa, Cheng Xiaoyue finally came to her senses and quickly found Song Xiaodong, saying, "Big Brother Song, this is for you."

Song Xiaodong looked at the car keys Cheng Xiaoyue handed him and smiled, "This isn’t a gift I gave you, why are you returning it to me?"

"If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have used a car to apologize to me. So, I really can’t accept this. Besides, with my current status, driving this car out would be too conspicuous, and I’m not your... your wife."

Song Xiaodong saw a hint of sadness in Cheng Xiaoyue’s eyes, but he really had no more thoughts about Cheng Xiaoyue. The women at home were already enough; he couldn’t bring more people home.

"Well then, let’s leave the car here. Whenever you come to Minghe, you can just take it and have fun driving."

"So, can I still come over to your house when I visit Minghe in the future?" Cheng Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Of course, you can. How can I not warmly welcome a fellow villager?"

Cheng Xiaoyue felt a vague sense of loss inside. In Song Xiaodong’s heart, she was just another villager, or at most a friend. Yet, even this was not bad; being under the protection of Song Xiaodong, she wouldn’t be bullied so easily in her future endeavors.
