"You've completely discarded the traditional virtue of respecting elders and cherishing the young, haven't you?"

As she spoke, she grumbled and walked over, trying to cancel the floor buttons that had already been pressed.

In the elevator, Qin Mu was about to speak.

However, a girl with him couldn't hold back any longer. "Look, auntie, that's not how you teach a child. Teaching him like that will only spoil him!"

The moment she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman bristled again, glaring at the girl with a hostile expression. "He's my grandson. I know how to raise him. It's none of your business."

"Besides, he's at an age where he's supposed to be mischievous."

"If he isn't mischievous now, he'll definitely be a good-for-nothing when he grows up."

"I can't be bothered to explain these things to you."

With that, she didn't even bother to reset the floors, letting the elevator stop on every single one.

It was another person with them who stepped forward to cancel the subsequent floors one by one.

Qin Mu stood in the elevator. He felt rather helpless witnessing this little episode.

Normally, many parents in such a situation would first scold and then discipline their child.

Such doting, like this grandma was showing... was actually quite rare.

Yet, he'd unexpectedly encountered it.

This brat, he thought, was probably so pampered he was becoming increasingly brazen—not even afraid of strangers, daring to make faces, and randomly mashing all the elevator buttons in a public area. So skilled at it, too. This probably wasn't his first time.

However… if this behavior didn't cause any additional losses, it wouldn't even qualify for civil compensation.

He could only turn a blind eye.

Once this kid enters society and suffers a few setbacks, he'll probably learn his lesson.

After returning home, Qin Mu first made himself some dinner.

Then... he received an invitation from Qing Lan to team up for a game.

"Bro, I've been practicing hard lately, and I'm on a whole new level now! I can totally carry!"

Under Qing Lan's persistent pleading, he relented and decided to team up with her for one match.

The result: fifteen minutes later, staring at the large "DEFEAT" text on his screen, he was lost in thought.

I'm such an idiot, really... he sighed softly.

To think he'd actually held out hope for Qing Lan's skills...

Just a few minutes into the game, their bottom lane had already been pushed to their high ground.

The enemy duo in their lane was already on a killing spree, to the point where even their support could solo kill him.

And Qing Lan had miraculously contributed a KDA of 1-14-0 within those fifteen minutes.

He even suspected the enemy team had intentionally fed Qing Lan that one kill, just to make her bounty a little higher.

"Bro, that was a fluke! One more game, I'll definitely prove myself!" Qing Lan sent another message, her words burning with indignant frustration.

Qin Mu fought the urge to delete her as a friend and silently logged off.

Hell no, not again.

He played games to pass the time and relax, not to be tortured.

During that game... even he, a reincarnator, had almost lost his composure.

But the thought of picking up his new car tomorrow… instantly lifted his spirits considerably.

Having a car would certainly make getting around much more convenient in the future.

When he had free time, he could even drive out to Song Yun's farmhouse B&B for some fishing or something similar.

「…」

「The next day.」

At nine in the morning, Qin Mu eagerly headed to the 4S dealership.

He met the saleswoman who had assisted him previously.

"Mr. Qin, here is your car, along with the keys, manual, and the vehicle registration booklet..." The saleswoman eagerly handed all the documents to him and led him through an inspection of the vehicle.

They confirmed the car's manufacturing date, mileage, and checked for any damage.

After confirming everything was in order, the saleswoman offered, "If you have no other concerns, Mr. Qin, you can drive the car away now."

Qin Mu's mouth twitched.

For some reason, he felt the salesperson was far less enthusiastic than yesterday. It seemed... she was even a little afraid of him, as if he were some kind of jinx she wanted to usher out quickly.

She didn't even try to promote any vehicle packages.

"Please drive safely, Mr. Qin."

Finally, amidst the salesperson's "farewell," Qin Mu drove his new car out of the 4S dealership.

The new car was indeed very comfortable to drive.

He took it for a spin around the main roads of Jin City to get a feel for it before driving back to his residential complex and parking it in the underground garage.

He had specifically bought a parking space from property management to accommodate his new car.

Lately, property management had been very diligent. There were no issues with unauthorized parking in the underground garage.

Parking space management was orderly and neat. Haphazard parking was rarely seen.

On the rare occasions it happened, property management responded promptly, urgently contacting the owners to move their vehicles.

At least the current property management… was far more responsible than before the Gao Feng incident.

「…」

「That evening.」

Qin Mu had just finished dinner and was relaxing on the sofa watching a movie when the owner's group chat for Building 10 suddenly exploded with activity.

Messages kept flooding in, instantly hitting 99+.

What's going on? Qin Mu wondered, tapping open the group chat.

He remembered the last time this happened... it was because he had sued all the owners in the building.

Back then, something had been thrown from an upper floor, and when he couldn't find the culprit, he'd had no choice but to sue the entire building. That had caused a massive uproar.

"Damn it! Which little bastard keyed my car?"

"Your car got keyed too? So did mine! And they used a knife to carve an ugly face on it!"

"I just checked my dashcam footage. I found the culprit. It's this kid. Whose child is this?"

"That kid lives upstairs from me! He's so noisy every night. I've gone up to talk to them several times, but it's useless."
