Chapter 157: Chapter 157: What a Coincidence
Long Fei didn’t want to bother with him and stood in place without speaking.
Following him, Su Laicai said, "Little brother, can’t a brother make amends? Get in the car, I’ll only charge you ten yuan to get back to the city."
Only then did Long Fei frown slightly and open the car door to sit inside.
The driving school was in the suburbs, and the usual fare back to the city was twenty.
Ten yuan would save half.
After starting the car, Su Laicai asked, "Little brother, where are you headed?"
"Binhai University!"
Long Fei named a place.
Su Laicai bragged, "So you’re a university student, no wonder you answered the questions so quickly."
"You weren’t slow either!"
Long Fei gave a non-committal response.
Su Laicai had entered with him, and indeed, his speed wasn’t slow.
Others took at least ten or more minutes.
Su Laicai boasted, "Told you, I have connections inside!"
Long Fei remained silent, not believing a word he said.
Su Laicai was indeed lying; he had no connections, it was all because he frequently got points deducted when he was driving the taxi and often had to retake the first subject test.
Now he had memorized all the subject one questions.
Seeing that Long Fei remained quiet, Su Laicai changed the subject, "Today fate really brought us together as father and son; I’m also headed to Binhai University. My daughter is in Eighth Middle School, and she gets off this afternoon; I’ll pick her up on the way."
He spoke with even more pride in his tone.
Especially when he mentioned his daughter, his whole face lit up with excitement.
Long Fei, recalling Su Yiyi from Eighth Middle School, casually asked, "Is your daughter in high school or junior high?"
Su Laicai replied proudly, "Junior three, she’ll be taking high school exams after the new year. She’s the top student in her class; she might even get into Second Middle School next year!"
"Then congratulations to you for having such a great daughter!"
Long Fei complimented him, and although he found Su Laicai unpleasant, he could see that as a father, he was quite responsible.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Su Laicai was happily humming a tune as he drove Long Fei back.
To get to Binhai University from here, one had to pass by Eighth Middle School.
He first stopped in front of Eighth Middle School to pick up his daughter, so he wouldn’t have to make the detour later.
With nothing better to do, Long Fei sat in the car waiting with him.
Su Laicai offered him a cigarette and said, "Little brother, are you confident about subject two and three? If not, find someone. Spend some money, it’s faster and you won’t be wasting your time."
"Are you trying to say you know someone?"
Long Fei laughed lightly, lit the cigarette, and took a puff.
Su Laicai said, "I’m not kidding you, among my fellow drivers, many moonlight as instructors. For five thousand yuan, I guarantee you’ll smoothly pass subject two and three."
"Forget it, I can pass on my own!"
Long Fei shook his head, turned his head towards the window, and ignored him.
In front of Eighth Middle School, boys and girls with youthful smiles on their faces were continuously leaving the campus.
The girls these days are all so tall, each looking quite refreshed.
Suddenly, Long Fei’s eyes widened.
A girl with a ponytail, carrying a backpack, tall and slender, with a fair and pretty face, walked out from inside.
She waved at a plump girl and walked towards their direction.
Long Fei glanced at Su Laicai and then at Su Yiyi, muttering to himself, "It couldn’t be this coincidental, could it?"
Things really are so coincidental. Su Laicai got out of the car excitedly and called out to Su Yiyi, "My precious daughter!"
Su Yiyi smiled at him and ran over to give him a hug, saying happily, "Dad, how come you’re free to pick me up today?"
"I was on the way!"
Su Laicai patted her head and opened the car door for her to get in.
As soon as Su Yiyi got into the car, she sat next to Long Fei. Her eyes swept over him, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Long, what are you doing here?"
"It’s a long story!"
Long Fei chuckled and waved at her, making Su Laicai, who was in the front, turn his head.
"You know each other?"
Su Laicai furrowed his brows and sized up his daughter and Long Fei.
Su Yiyi quickly explained, "Didn’t I tell you that last time a big brother helped me drive away the thugs? He’s that big brother!"
Su Laicai slapped his forehead and said excitedly to Long Fei, "Oh my, see, I told you we were fated!"
"We really are!"
Long Fei smiled, knowing that he was Su Yiyi’s father, and his attitude toward him had improved a lot.
Su Laicai immediately said, "Young man, you helped my daughter last time, and I’ve been wanting to thank you. Let’s go and have a couple of drinks, you mustn’t refuse!"
Long Fei had intended to go home, but now he didn’t know how to refuse.
Su Yiyi tugged at his arm and said, "Brother Long, just have a few drinks with my dad! I have a lot to tell you, too. Our teacher wouldn’t let us use our phones this week, I was about to die of boredom."
Long Fei cleared his throat and moved a bit to the side.
After all, with the old man sitting in front, Su Yiyi was being so enthusiastic; it made it seem like they had something going on.
Su Laicai stared at the rearview mirror and furrowed his brows but didn’t say much.
Once he started driving, he asked Long Fei as if he were a father-in-law meeting his son-in-law, "Young man, where do you work now?"
"Lin’s Group!"
Long Fei replied, feeling a bit awkward.
"That’s a big company!"
Su Laicai said, surprised, then asked, "So, how much do you make a month?"
Long Fei didn’t want to show off and casually brushed off the question, "Not much, just over ten thousand yuan!"
Su Laicai’s eyes bulged out as he exclaimed, "That’s not much? That’s three times what I make in a month."
Long Fei broke out in a sweat - if he had known, he would have said one thousand.
Actually, driving a taxi can be quite lucrative, but not for Su Laicai.
He often violated regulations, and just the fines alone amounted to more than a thousand yuan every month.
Driving along, he muttered, looking at the roadside, "Where should we go to eat? There’s a new seafood restaurant near our place, but it’s a bit expensive!"
He rubbed his head, clearly hinting that he wanted Long Fei to treat.
Long Fei saw right through him and said nonchalantly, "Okay then, let’s go to that seafood restaurant. I’ll treat!"
Su Laicai was immediately delighted, "Look at you, I said I’d treat. Alright then, this one’s on you, and next time I’ll treat!"
Long Fei just smiled and said nothing.
Su Yiyi’s cheeks turned red, and giving her father a little nudge with her nose, she suggested, "It’s not easy for us to meet up, why go to a seafood restaurant? Let’s eat at home. I can cook; I’ll make you a few dishes."
Su Laicai thought, this prodigal daughter, how could she side with an outsider?
Before he could speak, Su Yiyi’s little hand reached out and pinched him.
He coughed twice, knowing his daughter would be embarrassed, and reluctantly agreed, "Then let’s eat at home. Yiyi’s cooking skills are indeed not bad, and it’s lively at home too!"
Long Fei smiled and glanced at Su Yiyi, doubting in his heart whether she was even Su Laicai’s biological daughter.
Such a slick father, yet his daughter was so sensible, they hardly seemed like family at all.
