The wisp light of dawn shined from the East horizon.
Tang Xiu got up early since he had planned to go to a driving school today, and then went to see his mother to tell her about his matter. He believed that because of his excellence, his mother would accept it, albeit requiring a little persuading. But as time passed, she would feel happy for having a good and outstanding son.
After eating breakfast, he left the villa and walked toward the villa complex’s entrance. After nodding and greeting the two security guards, he walked to the sidewalk and calmly waited for a taxi.
“Honk honk…”
A car’s horn sounded.
Tang Xiu looked at the Porsche Supercar and saw Long Xueyao on the driver’s seat. Then, he immediately said with a smile, “Are you going out too?”
“Yup, gotta take care of something. Anyway, where’re you heading? Want a ride?“ Long Xueyao replied and asked with a smile.
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “No need. You already have something to do. Besides, I’m just going to find a driving school and use this summer vacation taking the driving license test.”
“It’s alright. My matter it’s not that urgent. Besides, there are few taxis passing in this area. If you wanna catch a cab this early, you’ll have to walk about a kilometer to the commercial street. Come onboard! There’s a big driving school nearby the place I’m heading. It’s a good one, too.” Long Xueyao said with a smile.
Tang Xiu asked, “Where are you going?”
“The Tax Bureau.” Long Xueyao said.
Tang Xiu nodded, opened the door and sat on the co-pilot’s seat. A fragrance smelling of jasmine floated inside as the interior was lovely decorated. Then, he said, “I know that your family name is Long, but I never thought that you’re actually Zhengyu’s cousin. I only just heard it from him two days ago when we were drinking.”
Long Xueyao started the car. Whilst driving with one hand, she said with a smile “I thought you already knew! By the way, if you need a driver license, I have a way to help you get one directly. So you needn’t go there every day.”
“Eh? This could be done through the back door also?” Tang Xiu was surprised.
Immediately, Long Xueyao couldn’t help laughing, saying, “What back door? It’s just that you needn’t go to the course everyday and can directly take the exam. If you feel that you can’t pass, you can have someone else take the exam on your behalf. As long as there’s some incentive, the official examiner will turn a blind eye.”
_“As always, it’s the sinful, money-oriented society!”_
Tang Xiu shook his head with a sigh before he said, “If so, then I’ll have to trouble you to find someone! Well, consider it as me owing you a favor for this one. To be honest, I really have a lot of things to do in this summer break, so I don’t have much time for studying.”
Long Xueyao said with a smile, “No prob. Anyhow, we’ll go to another driving school. I have an acquaintance there.”
“As you wish!”
Tang Xiu replied with a nod.
Half an hour later.
Tang Xiu and Long Xueyao came out from the driving school. After he paid the registration fee, Long Xueyao helped him find the driving school’s principal. Now, for the following activities, he wouldn’t need to take the classes and the driving school would inform him the date of the exam later.
“Everything’s done, all thanks to you. If you got time later, I’ll treat you to a meal!” Tang Xiu said.
Long Xueyao replied with a tender smile, “You’re my cousin’s friend, so you needn’t be that polite with me. But since I’m quite free these days, I’ll take the offer.”
Tang Xiu pondered a moment, and then said, “Alright then, how about tomorrow? I’ll call you by then.”
Long Xueyao picked up the phone, saying, “Okay, I’ll wait for your call.”
Tang Xiu saved her cell number. After getting a taxi in front of the driving school’s entrance, he rushed to his family’s restaurant, since he calculated that his mother should also have arrived there.
As he had expected, he saw his mother and several waiters placing tables and chairs when he arrived. He felt quite happy as he saw them chat and laugh.
“Mom…”
Tang Xiu called out.
Su Lingyun turned around and was pleasantly surprised upon seeing him, “Xiu’er! You’re finally back! How was it? Had a good time travelling?”
Tang Xiu said, “Well, it was good. Mom, let Banshou take care of the restaurant today! I wanna take you to a place today.”
“Where’re you gonna take me?” Su Lingyun asked with a confused expression.
Tang Xiu said with a faint smile, “Well, weren’t you puzzled by why I became quite mysterious recently? I’ll tell you everything today!”
Su Lingyun hesitated for a moment as she nodded and said, “Then, let’s go.”
