Chapter 14 - My Car is a two-seater

n“Anyway, I’ve already told my colleagues that you would go with me. That young man is not bad. He works in a public institution and has some money. You two are suitable to be together,” Xia Hongyuan said.
n
n“I already have a boyfriend. I don’t need you to introduce me,” Xia Xinyu said.
n
n“You have a boyfriend?” Xia Hongyuan asked in surprise.
n
n“Where did you find a boyfriend?”
n
n“Where else could I get a boyfriend? I found one myself,” Xia Xinyu said. “Do you think I dug him out from the ground?”
n
nThe old couple was abnormally excited when they found out that their daughter had a boyfriend.
n
n“Then what are you waiting for? Ask the family to take a look. We’ll check him out for you.”
n
n“Ah? You want our family to take a look?”
n
nXia Xinyu was at a loss for words. She had just said it casually. Why did these guys take it so seriously?
n
n“That’s right. Since you have a boyfriend, we naturally have to see who he is. We can’t just casually hand you over, right?”
n
n“Forget about meeting him. He’s also quite busy with work. We’ll talk about it another day.”
n
nXia Xinyu stood up. “I still have something to do in a while, so I’ll be leaving first.”
n
n“Stop!”
n
nXia Hongyuan said, “I think you’re trying to trick me.”
n
n“No, I really have a boyfriend. Don’t even think about introducing me to someone else.”
n
n“I’ve raised you for more than 20 years. Don’t you think I know what you’re like?” Xia Hongyuan said.
n
n“If you don’t bring your boyfriend here today, you must obediently follow me to the party. You can choose your fate.”
n
n“Alright, I’ll make a call and ask him then.”
n
nBack in the house, Xia Xinyu was running around like a headless chicken.
n
nIt had been so many years, and she did not have many friends of the opposite sex. Where could she find someone to pretend to be with her!
n
nHuh?
n
nSuddenly, Xia Xinyu’s eyes lit up and she muttered to herself, ‘How about finding a delivery boy to pretend to be with her?’
n
nHowever, very quickly, Xia Xinyu dismissed these thoughts.
n
nA delivery boy was definitely not allowed. If he did not dress appropriately, her parents would not believe her. It would be too easy for her to be exposed.
n
n“A Didi driver seems to be pretty good option,” Xia Xinyu thought.
n
nAt the very least, he would have a car and would have some form of assets.
n
nThe only thing left was to find a younger driver!
n
nIt was perfect!
n
nBecause she usually took taxis, there were two taxi-hailing apps on Xia Xinyu’s phone.
n
nOne was Didi, and the other was Kuadi.
n
nShe would use the service that offered more discounts.
n
nHowever, the situation was different this time. Due to the size of Didi, she ended up choosing Didi.
n
nShe picked a random destination and started placing orders.
n
nAbout five seconds later, the order was received and she hurriedly called the other party.
n
n..
n
nRing, Ring, Ring..
n
nLin Yi’s phone rang before he could get out of the car.
n
n“Hello, are you the Didi driver?”
n
nLin Yi already knew who the person was. It was the passenger who placed the order.
n
n“It’s me, what do you want?” Lin Yi said.
n
n“I want to ask, how old are you?”
n
nHuh?
n
nWhat kind of question was that?
n
nHow old was he? Did that have anything to do with the passenger?
n
nAlthough he didn’t know what he was up to, Lin Yi still told him his age.
n
n“Twenty-four.”
n
n“Oh nice!”
n
nXia Xinyu was a little excited. She actually met someone her own age!
n
nSoon, Xia Xinyu calmed down and asked in a low voice,
n
n“I want to ask you for a favor, can you do that?”
n
n“No, I’m just a Didi Driver. I don’t provide extra services.”
n
nLin Yi had seen too much of this kind of news.
n
nThere were some perverted customers who would always making things difficult for the Didi driver or the guy outside.
n
nThey would either ask him to buy cigarettes, take out the trash, or even buy sanitary pads.
n
nLin Yi was not interested in that sort of thing.
n
n“Don’t misunderstand me. My name is Xia Xinyu. I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend and deal with my parents. I’ll give you a five-star review afterwards. What do you think?”
n
n“Uh…”
n
nLin Yi paused. This was a good idea.
n
n“On account of the five-star review, it’s a deal.”
n
n“Then it’s a deal. What’s your name?”
n
n“Lin Yi.”
n
n“Okay, my house is in Tianyi Homestead, Building 4, unit 1,1302. You can come straight here.”
n
n“Okay.”
n
nBecause Tianyi Homestead was nearby, Lin Yi arrived at Xia Xinyu’s house after about ten minutes.
n
nKnock, Knock, Knock
n
nXia Xinyu heard someone knocking on the door and opened it.
n
nShe prayed in her heart that this Didi brother was not too ugly, or else it would arouse suspicion.
n
nCreak.
n
nThe door was pulled open and Xia Xinyu froze on the spot when she saw Lin Yi.
n
nWhat, what kind of god-like beauty was this?
n
nDid she save the Earth in her previous life?
n
n“Yo, it’s Xiaoyu’s boyfriend, right?”
n
nSeeing Lin Yi standing at the door, Xia Xinyu’s mother greeted with a smile.
n
nThis young man was really good-looking. He was more than enough for her daughter.
n
nBefore Xia Xinyu could say anything, Lin Yi was pulled in.
n
n“Your name is Lin Yi, right? How long have you been with my daughter?”Xia asked.
n
n“Uh, more than half a year,” Xia Xinyu answered first.
n
n“I didn’t ask you, what are you talking about?” After scolding Xia Xinyu, Mother Xia asked again,
n
n“Young man, what do you usually do?”
n
n“I’m a driver,” Lin Yi replied.
n
n“A driver?”
n
nThe old couple’s faces changed. This didn’t seem like a decent job.
n
n“Are you a pilot? Then you should call yourself a captain.”
n
nLin Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The old couple’s imagination was quite rich.
n
n“I’m not flying a plane. I don’t have that kind of skill.” Lin Yi said
n
nThe old couple’s expressions weren’t as warm as they were before.
n
n“Are you driving for a certain boss?” Lin Yi asked
n
nThe two of them could accept it if it was for a certain boss. After all, this gig was quite attractive.
n
nHowever, this was their bottom line.
n
n“You’ve misunderstood. I’m driving for Didi, I’m a Didi driver.” Lin Yi said
n
n“Didi driver?”
n
nWhy did Xia Hongyuan’s expression suddenly change? He now looked a little ugly.
n
nHow much money could a Didi driver earn? If they were to be together in the future, how would they support their child?
n
nWould they be able to live off the wind?
n
n“That’s right, he’s a Didi driver.” Xinyu said
n
n“Dad, Mom, he’s actually making a lot of money now. Lin Yi bought all my cosmetics and jewelry for me,” Xinyu explained.
n
n“Plus, he still has some money on him. We’re planning to start a business in the future, so we won’t work for Didi forever.”
n
nHearing that, their expressions softened, but it was obvious that they weren’t very happy.
n
n“Let’s talk about this later.” Because Lin Yi was here, there were a lot of things that Xia Hongyuan still could not talk about. He planned to talk about it when there was no one else around at night.
n
n“Oh right, mom and dad, aren’t you going to a gathering? You should leave now or you’ll be late.”
n
nXia Hongyuan looked at the time and said:
n
n“Alright, let him send us there. Don’t leave either, just come with us.”
n
nThe two of them had not yet thought the matter surrounding Lin Yi through.
n
nAlthough his work was suboptimal, his looks were not bad. They had to weigh it properly before deciding which one to choose.
n
n“I don’t think it’s possible for us to go together,” Lin Yi said.
n
n“Huh? Why Not?”
n
n“My car is a two-seater. It can’t fit four people.”
