"Like how the clouds hang low before the rain, your soft singing stirred my heart..."
While the two were still engrossed in their heart-to-heart, Yun Zijin’s phone rang.
The caller ID read "Li Yuexing."
Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow. ’This guy isn’t calling to borrow a car, is he?’
"The one from the Li family? What’s he calling you for?"
Su Mengyao had only glanced over briefly, but she saw the caller ID on Yun Zijin’s phone screen.
"I don’t know. I’ll take this call."
With that, Yun Zijin swiped to answer.
Su Mengyao gave Yun Zijin an "OK" sign, indicating she would be quiet.
"Hello?"
"Zijing! Good afternoon! Have you eaten? I’ve booked a table at Liuxian Pavilion, want to have lunch together?"
Li Yuexing’s slightly fawning voice sounded in Yun Zijin’s ear.
"Mr. Li, if you have something to say, just say it. I’m not at home right now."
Yun Zijin held perfectly still, trying not to make any sound to avoid letting the person on the other end of the line hear the splashing of water.
"Um... about what we talked about last night..."
"You’re asking about the Ferrari LaFerrari, right? I didn’t drive that car today. If you want to borrow it... wait until tomorrow. But you’ll have to call me early tomorrow, or I’ll probably already be out."
’She had a spending task tomorrow, so she would most likely be going out.’
"Okay, okay! I knew you were generous, Zijing, not like those other guys who won’t even let me touch their cars."
There were several models he’d failed to acquire that Lu Yunque and the others had managed to buy. Borrowing their cars for a spin was incredibly difficult; they guarded them from him as if he were a walking fire hazard.
"As long as you truly protect my car like the apple of your eye, as you said yesterday, Mr. Li, then I have no problem with it."
’If anything happened to it while he was borrowing it, she definitely wouldn’t be taking responsibility.’
"Of course! I’m a man of my word. I always keep my promises!"
It was rare for someone to be willing to lend him a car to satisfy his craving, so of course, Li Yuexing agreed to any condition in a flash.
"Then just call me tomorrow. Let’s not talk any more today, I have a friend with me."
The truth was, Yun Zijin had been holding the same position for too long. Her legs were going numb, and she just wanted to hang up and move around.
"Okay, okay, I won’t disturb you then. Bye, Zijing!"
"Goodbye."
Yun Zijin hung up the phone and turned to see Su Mengyao looking at her, her face a mask of curiosity.
"Go ahead and ask whatever you want."
’It’s not like it’s some big secret.’
"That guy from the Li family, what did he want? I thought I heard you mention a car?"
"I ran into their group at Yungong No. 1 yesterday. Mr. Li saw the Ferrari LaFerrari I was driving and wanted to borrow it."
Yun Zijin didn’t hide anything. It was all open and aboveboard, with nothing to conceal.
"Borrow your car? I remember him being a huge supercar enthusiast. He buys every new model that comes out. Did he not manage to get a Ferrari LaFerrari?"
Su Mengyao clearly hadn’t imagined there was a car that one of Dijing’s "Crown Princes" couldn’t buy.
"I guess not. But he probably just wants to drive it for a couple of days to get his fix. It’s no big deal."
Su Mengyao nodded in understanding, but the thought that Yun Zijin owned a car that even Li Yuexing couldn’t buy still felt a little incredible to her.
’Just how many more surprises did this new friend of hers have in store?’
"Wait a minute. You just mentioned the Ferrari LaFerrari, but the car you drove today was clearly a Ferrari Enzo!"
"Those two are signature Ferrari models, and they’re both limited editions! You actually have both!"
Su Mengyao suddenly realized that Yun Zijin owned two globally limited-edition Ferrari supercars, and both were worth tens of millions.
"Heh... An elder bought them for me. He’s very well-connected."
’Whether Su Mengyao believed her or not, Yun Zijin was sticking to that story.’
