Chapter 909 Call Me Hubby
“That’s fine. I don’t think we have an off-road vehicle at home.”
Although she had yet to register her marriage with Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan had unknowingly begun to view herself as a married woman.
Jiuzhou Pavilion was no longer Lin Yi’s, but their common home.
Because they had decided to buy a new car, the two of them did not plan to drive their own car anymore.
Ji Qingyan hailed a taxi and headed to the Lexus 4S store.
Seeing Lin Yi enter, the female salespeople in the 4S shop looked at Lin Yi with golden eyes. “Look, that little brother is so handsome.”
“What’s the use of being handsome? Besides, he already has a girlfriend.”
“That’s true. His girlfriend is really good-looking too. Even if we seduce him, he won’t take the bait.”
“That’s for sure.” The saleswoman said, “Look at that little brother. The watch he’s wearing is Richard Mille. I heard that the cheapest one costs hundreds of thousands per piece. His girlfriend won’t even give us the chance to seduce him.”
“With such a handsome and rich young man, which woman wouldn’t keep a close eye on him? If it were me, I would lock him up at home every day.”
“Alright, alright. Let’s get to work.”
With that, one of the saleswomen walked toward Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan.
“Sir, do you like any particular model?”
“Do you have a 570? It has to be top-quality,”
Lin Yi asked directly.
“There is. It’s a Lexus LX570 now. The Pinnacle Special Edition is priced at 1.41 million yuan. We have plenty of stock. You can even pick up the car today.”
Seeing that Lin Yi wanted to buy a top-spec 570, the female salesperson was not surprised at all.
He was wearing Richard Mille. If he bought a cheap car, it would not match his status.
“Please help me get a sales contract. I want to drive it away now.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Soon, the female salesperson brought the contract over.
Lin Yi handed the pen to Ji Qingyan. “Sign it.”
“You want me to sign?”
“That’s right. The garage is full of my cars. All you’ve got is a Maserati. You’re making me look like a bully.”
“What’s wrong with that? Let’s use your name.
My Maserati is good enough for my use.”
The saleswoman looked at her in exasperation.
She didn’t even want this car he was offering.
What kind of mentality was this?!
With such a rich little brother, what was there to be reserved about?
“Just sign it. It’s not a big deal.”
“Won’t others think that you’re my sugar daddy if you do this?” She joked before signing her name on the contract.
Then, Ji Qingyan took out her bank card. “The password is 011011.”
“Ex-excuse me ma’am, are you paying?”
The saleswomen was surprised when she saw that Ji Qingyan was about to pay with her card. It turned out that she was not short of money either!
“That’s right,” replied Ji Qingyan. “Alright, alright. Please wait a moment.”
The process of buying a car was very smooth. After signing the contract, they went to pick up the car. Then, they added some fuel before driving to Four Corner Town.
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at Four Corner Town. The car promptly stopped in the town square.
Lin Yi looked around, and found that the situation was a little out of his expectations.
He had thought that the conditions of Four Corner Town would be good since it was located in an economically important area like Zhonghai.
However, he had seemed to have been too wishful.
The situation in Four Corner Town was slightly better than that of Beiqiao Town back then, but it was still very limited and they were not at all wealthy.
Looking at the state of the people on the streets, it seemed that most of them were barely self-sufficient.
They were far from rich.
The system had chosen such a place for him, which was in line with its usual style.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Seeing that Ji Qingyan had not made a move, Lin Yi asked.
“This place is a little different from what I imagined,” Ji Qingyan said resentfully.
“I didn’t expect them to be so poor. “Even so, I just realized something.
“We can often see the situation of poor mountainous areas on television. However, when you experience it yourself, it’s a totally different experience.”
“Because you’ve never really felt true poverty before.”
“What about you? Do you know what it feels like to be poor?”
“Do you still remember that when I was a doctor at Huashan Hospital, I picked up a little boy who needed that major surgery?”
“I remember. I even d.”
“At that time, he was still suffering from a major artery translocation. The chances of him surviving were less than 1%. Do you know why I took the risk to operate on this patient?”
“Because you’re a kind person. Even if the surgery failed, you won’t be afraid of those rumors.”
“That’s only part of the reason.” Lin Yi looked at the scenery outside the window.
“I had a sister once. She was in the same situation.”
“Phew,,,” Lin Yi took a deep breath and said.
“I remember that when I was seven years old, I didn’t know what this illness was. I only knew that the food during that period was very poor. I ate steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day. Later, I found out that my mother had taken all the money out to treat my sister. My father even secretly sold some of his blood, but he had no choice. In the end, she didn’t make it.”
“You’re not allowed to tell me such things in the future. My makeup is ruined,” Ji Qingyan said as she wiped her tears. “What else did you want me to say?”
“Well, you could pick something else to talk about. I didn’t ask you to say something so sad.”
“If you want to talk about something else, it’d take three days and three nights.” Lin Yi said. “If I hadn’t helped the orphanage, I don’t know what life would have been like for those kids.”
“Mother Wang didn’t have it easy. We have to treat the old couple better in the future.”
“They’re doing quite well now. Ningyue sent me a WeChat message last night saying that my mother took the initiative to take her to get her hair done. In the end, she was very generous and even footed the bill.”
Ji Qingyan rocked back and forth in laughter. “It’s the same for my mother. Every time before the new year, she has to go do her hair. It’s as if there’s a ritual to it.”
“Yes, yes, yes. And they always get those ugly little curls.”
“As expected, all mothers in Huaxia are the same.” Ji Qingyan chuckled. “Alright, we’ve seen the situation here. Let’s go to the Happiness Village below. My house and land are over there.”
Happiness Village was not far from Four Corner Town, only about five to six kilometers away. For some middle-aged men with good stamina, they could easily reach the town by walking or riding their tricicyles.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village.
The scenery here was similar to Shuanghong Town of the past. There was nothing special about it.
Many people lived in brick houses, but they were not very big. The residents seemed to be neither rich nor poor.
“Lin Yi, where’s your house? Hurry up and show me,” Ji Qingyan said.
“What did I tell you before? Why are you still calling me by my name?”
“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Ji Qingyan said sheepishly. “It’s so formal to call you Mr. Lin when we’re outside. It’s not intimate at all. If outsiders overhear, they’ll think that I’m your secretary.”
“Just call me hubby.”
