Chapter 860: Chapter 860: Does She Want Everyone to Ride a Convertible?
Gu Boyuan frowned at her: "You make it sound so easy, it’s just using a car. If Aunt weren’t back and Dad was in charge, it would be easier to say.
But now that Aunt has returned to the country, whether it’s the factory or other business ventures, she’s the true owner. Your recklessness could harm Dad."
Gu Yingying saw her Big Brother Gu Boyuan getting more exaggerated: "Big Brother, enough already. I just want to use the car a bit, no need to be so dramatic!"
Gu Boyuan didn’t want to argue with his sister anymore; you can never wake someone pretending to be asleep. She understands what’s at stake but her vanity is at play, too selfish.
The weekend arrived quickly. Jiang Peiqin rode her grandfather’s car over, spotting Xinyan waiting by the roadside from a distance.
As the car stopped, Jiang Peiqin rolled down the window: "Xinyan, hop in."
Xinyan was carrying a bag filled with homemade food. She swiftly opened the back door, got in the car, greeted the driver in the front, then turned to Jiang Peiqin: "How many people are going over today?"
Jiang Peiqin smiled while looking at the school gate not far ahead: "I don’t know the exact number, but we’re just going along."
Xinyan asked casually, "Who else is riding with us?"
Jiang Peiqin spoke to the driver in front: "Uncle Zhang, let’s stop here, no need to get too close to them."
She then turned to Xinyan: "I haven’t invited anyone else. Sister Cui from our dorm has to go home to see her child, Bai Aiwen and Zhang Zhaodi are doing part-time jobs, Su Yuelan is attending her cousin’s engagement party, so it’s just Fan Xiaoxing.
However, you know, I’m not fond of Fan Xiaoxing’s personality, so I didn’t mention driving over to her."
Being a car hitcher myself, Fan Xiaoxing does have a knack for sarcasm, it’s better to spare my ears.
Seeing the people waiting at the school gate, Xinyan softly told Jiang Peiqin: "So many people, it’ll probably take ten-odd cars to fit everyone. Gu Yingying can’t stand us up again this week, can she?"
Jiang Peiqin thought of last week’s scene: "If she gives her word again this week, she might as well not show her face at school anymore."
As they were talking, they saw some cars stopping ahead.
Aside from a sedan, a single-seat small truck also parked.
Xinyan was about to speak when Jiang Peiqin laughed: "Gu Yingying really is something."
Xinyan couldn’t help but laugh and ask, "Is she trying to let everyone ride a convertible?"
Considering the road towards Miyun is all dirt, sitting in the back without a cover would turn anyone into a dust bunny before arriving.
The thought of that scene was funny.
They saw classmates starting to argue with Gu Yingying, with more people joining in.
In this situation, Xinyan didn’t expect it. Gu Yingying really should stop boasting if she can’t deliver. Now, she’s just making trouble for herself.
In the end, Shu Xiaomei stepped in to mediate: "Let’s stop arguing, it’s better to have a car than none. Otherwise, we all have to go to the station to take the bus.
It’s getting late, if we don’t set off soon, we won’t have much time to play before having to head back."
Everyone agreed, though the ride might be uncomfortable, it was better than transferring buses; at least they’ll get straight there.
A few quick-thinking souls chimed in.
Once someone began climbing onto the vehicle, others started following suit.
