Chapter 868: Chapter 837: Good Eloquence, Practice Driving

In this yard, there are generally high-end consumer groups.

When He Tiantian gave Huo Ruixiang a birthday cake, she did have the idea of promoting in advance, but the main purpose was to mend her relationship with Song Chunli. Other objectives were just incidental.

After all, there had been an unpleasant dispute over copyright issues before.

Although it wasn’t He Tiantian’s fault, as a junior, she felt the need to make a gesture.

"Hehe, since we haven’t opened for business yet, Granny Li, just consider it a birthday gift for Xinle," He Tiantian said with a smile. "If anyone asks, just say they can buy it at my shop, and I would be forever grateful if you could refer customers to me."

He Tiantian’s words made everyone in the room smile.

The same words spoken by He Tiantian just felt so much more comforting to those who heard them.

Zhao Huanhuan was envious. Although she was more outgoing than before, compared to her younger brother’s wife, she seemed a bit dull.

"Look, my daughter-in-law has said so much; how could I have the face to take your money?" Old Madam Huo said with a joyful smile. "Don’t stand on ceremony with me, otherwise, I might get upset."

"Hehe, then I shall accept it shamelessly," Old Lady Li laughed, looking at He Tiantian with a gaze filled with fondness.

At the same time, she envied the harmony in the Huo Family, with loving parents, respectful brothers, and capable daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law. All of her old sisters were very envious!

Life is something one must live for oneself; some things simply can’t be gained through envy.

"Accepting it is the right thing to do," Old Madam Huo said with a laugh. The Huo Family was all for the granddaughter-in-law’s entrepreneurship since, after all, He Tiantian had a grandmother who was a wealthy businesswoman abroad.

With such a family background, it was only natural for her to be good at business.

At the same time, with the Huo Family’s finances being healthy in the future, there would be a trail to follow, no fear of scrutiny by others.

Around three in the afternoon, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie took their leave.

When they left, Huo Ruixiang brought his swimming gear with him to his uncle’s house, hoping to have a blast before school started again.

Back at home, feeling she had some time, He Tiantian left the children at home as she wanted Huo Yingjie to teach her how to drive.

"Brother Yingjie, I want to learn how to drive," He Tiantian said with a smile. "That car in the backyard will go bad if it isn’t driven."

In reality, He Tiantian simply wanted the freedom to go anywhere she liked and to take her children with her.

After all, a bicycle was too slow and unsafe with two kids.

"Sure," Yingjie said. "We have two hours before dinner; we can practice for a bit over an hour."

"Then let’s hurry up and go," He Tiantian was ecstatic and somewhat impatient.

Huo Yingjie, with his long legs and lanky frame, sat in the small seat of He Tiantian’s Beetle, seeming a bit cramped. Even with the seat adjusted as far back as possible, he still felt he couldn’t stretch out his legs.

Seeing Huo Yingjie looking so uncomfortable made He Tiantian cover her mouth and laugh, saying, "Hehe, this car really is suitable for women to drive."

"Yes indeed, it was bought for you," Huo Yingjie said. "Let’s go."

Huo Yingjie drove out followed by Xie Wu and Zhang Ning in a green jeep provided by the organization.

Huo Yingjie took He Tiantian straight to a place specifically for driving practice and found an empty area to practice in.

Since Huo Yingjie had gotten his driver’s license not long before and was well acquainted with the people there, with just two packs of cigarettes, Huo Yingjie and He Tiantian could come to practice anytime.

Even when getting his license, not only did he have to be skilled but it also cost quite a bit of money.

At that time, being a driver was a job with a significant technical content, and without certain connections, one might not even have the chance to learn.

Those who trained with jeeps and trucks all turned their attention to He Tiantian’s tender yellow, compact car.

They had never seen such a brightly colored, oddly shaped car before.

"Coach, what kind of car is that?"

"Uh... it should not be a domestic car..."

"It must be imported..."

"I know, I know, my family has a relative in Xiangjiang who sent us a picture with a car like that, but hers is blue, something ’Bug,’ I don’t remember clearly, the name was pretty strange anyway."

"There’s even a car named after a bug? Not very imposing..."

Anyway, He Tiantian’s little Beetle aroused everyone’s curiosity.

They all looked toward the temporary coach that Huo Yingjie had arranged before and asked him about the car.

The coach said proudly, "That is an imported car from abroad, the Beetle!"

He had just found out about it from Huo Yingjie; although it had an odd shape, it performed well and looked good in color.

Huo Yingjie sat in the passenger seat and then had He Tiantian sit in the driver’s seat.

"There’s a handle on the side, move it, and you can adjust the seat back and forth to find the position that’s best for you," Huo Yingjie said softly. He Tiantian’s movements were far from standard, and other coaches probably would have started yelling by now.

He Tiantian tried it once, gradually got the hang of it, and said, "Okay, I’ve got this one down, let’s move on to the next step."

"Mm," Huo Yingjie nodded, leaned over, and came in close to He Tiantian’s face.

He Tiantian was startled and pushed Huo Yingjie away, saying, "We’re here to learn driving, there are so many people outside, don’t mess around."

"Ah?" Huo Yingjie blinked, looking very innocent. He really just wanted to teach He Tiantian how to use the seat belt rather than kiss her.

Although he did want to do so, he didn’t want to perform a live ’spring palace’ show in front of so many people!

"Actually, I just wanted to teach you how to fasten the seat belt..." Huo Yingjie said with a mischievous smile, the teasing in his eyes making He Tiantian blush.

"Then you should have said something first," He Tiantian said with flushed cheeks, glaring at Huo Yingjie, and muttered softly.

"Can I do it now?" Huo Yingjie asked with a smile, waiting for He Tiantian’s response.

Humph, this guy’s doing it on purpose.

"It’s okay now," He Tiantian said with an eye roll, clearly annoyed.

Huo Yingjie leaned in, and whispered in He Tiantian’s ear, "Actually, if we were at home, I could satisfy your curiosity."

He Tiantian twisted Huo Yingjie’s arm and scolded, "Hurry up, or I won’t be polite to you."

"Okay, okay, mercy from the wife’s hand," pleaded Huo Yingjie, "Alright, we can start now. Look, you just gently pull like this, then insert the end until you hear a ’click’ sound, that means it’s done. And if you want to open it, just press this, and it’s opened."

He Tiantian followed Huo Yingjie’s movements and did it herself; it was very simple.

"Next step," He Tiantian said, "make sure to explain it clearly."

"Sure, I’ll explain everything in detail to the lady boss, ensuring that you learn everything in the shortest time," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. He couldn’t provoke her any further; otherwise, He Tiantian might really get mad.
