365 Keep Up With The Trend (2/2)

”Hell, 'niubility.' I'm seriously impressed that you guessed it. Yeah, that's it… so, can you please?”

Xiao Luo flatly refused with a stern: ”No!”

There was no way he would get involved, and besides, it was not like it would do him any good. He thought to himself, am I even that well acquainted with this kid?

”Please, brother-in-law. Look, I'm even calling you 'brother-in-law.' Just do me this one favor, can you please? I saw you drifting today, and you're a pro, I tell you. You'll have absolutely no problem in winning back my Bentley for me,” Su Canye pleaded, lowered himself in a gesture of begging.

”I'm busy. I don't have time,” Xiao Luo said.

”You're bluffing. I've been checking you up, and you haven't even got a job yet. You're leeching off my sister every day so you can't be freer than this. You certainly can't be associated with the word 'busy.'”

Su Canye decided to hard on Xiao Luo when he discovered that the soft approach didn't work. ”Are you gonna help me or not? If you refuse, I'll be giving you hard nuts to crack.”

”Do whatever you wish.”

”I…”

Su Canye was stumped. He didn't expect that his ice-faced brother-in-law could neither be enticed by the carrot nor beaten by the stick. But he wasn't going to stop there. It was a Bentley that he had lost, and it was worth more than 6 million dollars. The thought itself would make his flesh crawl. He frequently had nightmares about that fateful night he lost the car and would wake up in a cold sweat. It was horrible.

But, true to his nature, Su Canye had a plan. He began giving hints to Su Xiaobei with his heart-rending puppy eyes, prompting her to plead for Xiao Luo's help as well. The innocent little girl was fooled by her manipulative uncle, and she went along with him. And, before he knew it, an incessant chorus of unbearable whines pierced Xiao Luo's ear.

Xiao Luo got to experience how Sun Wukong must have felt in the novel, ”A Chinese Odyssey.” They were really like a pair of flies buzzing by his ears to the point where it drove him mad. It was unbearably annoying, but he didn't have the heart to shout at Su Xiaobei. So, in the end, he compromised and agreed to help Su Canye.

Su Li was on the phone with Shen Qingyan, complaining to her about Su Canye losing his Bentley and asking her for help.

”Hahaha… Li, that brother of yours is really naughty. This is already the third time, is it not?” Shen Qingyan's joyful laughter came across the line.

Su Li held her forehead and let out a gentle sigh. ”This brother of mine really lets me down,” she said.

”You made him this way. He has such a doting sister who gives him everything, it'll be good if he can… you know, grow up. Relax, leave the Bentley to me. In four days, those people will gather at the Wild Wolf Mountain again. Come with me and be my co-driver.”

Su Li knitted her elegant eyebrows and exclaimed, ”What, I should go too?!”

”Of course. It'll be night by then. Pull something over your clothes, and no one will recognize you. Besides, no one would ever guess that our big star will even visit a place like the Wild Wolf Mountain,” Shen Qingyan said, smiling at the thought of having Su Li as her co-driver.

”Alright, then. It's been a while since I let my hair down.”

”Mmm, let's leave your brother aside and talk about you. Li, what's going on between you and that Xiao Luo guy? Did you seriously just marry him because you lost your virginity to him? That's a little old fashioned, isn't it?” This was one matter that had always puzzled Shen Qingyan.

When Xiao Luo's name was mentioned, Su Li's eyes suddenly lost its sparkle. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she groaned, ”What should I do then? Aside from having acceptable looks, he's literally a good-for-nothing. Since it's already happened by accident, I can only accept my fate and hope that he will gradually become a better man.”

”Li, I don't even know what I should say to you. We are in the 21st Century, and our mindsets have to keep up with the times. Why are you still being so virtuous like the women in ancient times who married the man they lost their virtues? If your fans come to know of this, won't they be stalking you and trying to rape you at all costs?” Shen Qingyan said.

Su Li's pretty face blushed, speechless.
