Jiang Chen drove his new car, following the navigation along the route his mother had mentioned. But after getting off the freeway, he found himself on a dirt road.
The roads in the countryside were really tough to navigate, and since Jiang Chen was driving a new car, he didn't rush, so by noon, he still hadn't reached his destination.
When he arrived in the town center of Wutong County, feeling hungry, Jiang Chen parked the car by a safe-looking mud wall and walked into a small restaurant by the road.
"Boss, a bowl of noodles, please."
After entering, Jiang Chen called out to the restaurant owner.
"Okay, Just a minute!" The restaurant owner responded from the kitchen.
Shortly after Jiang Chen sat down, he heard footsteps and a garishly dressed youth whistled his way into the restaurant.
"Boss, the usual," the youth called out, sitting down at the table next to Jiang Chen.
"Alright, Yu Qing, just a sec!"
The restaurant owner clearly knew him; he came out with a bowl of noodles, greeted the youth, and then turned to Jiang Chen, "Here you go, your noodles are ready."
"Thank you," Jiang Chen thanked him, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
After a while, the owner came over with two dishes and placed them in front of the youth at the next table, chuckling as he spoke, "So where have you been, Yu Qing? How's your dad, the village chief, doing?"
"My dad's doing well. I just went to pick up a new BMW," Yu Qing said with a showy grin. "A fine car like that is indeed a pleasure to drive. These few hundred thousand yuan BMWs are so much better than those cheap cars worth ten or twenty thousand!"
"Of course, a good car definitely drives better!" The owner laughed along.
Yu Qing continued with an arrogant air, "There are only a few people in our county with hundreds of thousands in spare cash. Hardly anyone else can afford a car like mine. When I drive it on the road, everyone has to steer clear, because if they scratch or bump it, they won't be able to afford the damages!"
"Yeah, the Shen Family's village is a big one in the county, and with your dad as the village chief, everyone's got to show you some respect," the owner said, going along with him.
Yu Qing laughed, "That's right. In our county town, there are hardly any who would dare not show Shen Yuqing respect. Not to brag, but wherever I park my BMW, everyone treats me with the utmost deference."
"Pfft!"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Shen Yuqing couldn't stop talking about his several-hundred-thousand yuan BMW.
The boasting was a little too obvious—it was as if he wanted the whole world to know he had bought a BMW!
But from his current perspective, a BMW was just a low-end model.
"What are you laughing at?"
Shen Yuqing heard the laughter and his face instantly soured.
After sizing Jiang Chen up, Shen Yuqing stood up and walked over to Jiang Chen, giving him a push, "What's so funny? Looking at your poor appearance, are you jealous of my several-hundred-thousand yuan BMW? I've seen many poor suckers like you who probably think I'm showing off. Let me tell you straight, I am showing off because I can afford to. Someone like you will never have a chance to show off in your lifetime!"
Jiang Chen looked down at his own clothes; he had indeed just bought a car and hadn't had time to change, so he did look rather shabby.
Therefore, he didn't take the man's words to heart, and he actually felt a little rude for laughing.
So he looked at Shen Yuqing, smiled, and said softly, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm also from the Shen Family's village, so seeing a fellow villager feels quite familiar."
Shen Yuqing was taken aback, his voice tinged with confusion, "You're from the village, too? My dad is the village chief, I know everyone from Shen Family's village, how come I've never seen you?
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "I'm Shen Xiaoqin's son."
"Shen Xiaoqin's son?"
Shen Yuqing was even more stunned, taking another look at Jiang Chen before bursting into laughter, "Haha, so you're that Jiang Chen? I've heard my mom talk about you, the useless wretch who's scared to come home. The one who's a live-in son-in-law with no skills. Now you've come to the countryside, and you dare to laugh at me? You've certainly got guts!"
With that, Shen Yuqing looked at Jiang Chen with disdain, as if Jiang Chen were a joke.
Jiang Chen ignored him and finished the noodles in his bowl, quietly starting to sip the soup.
"What's the matter? Don't want to listen anymore? You sure have a personality, just like your loser mom. Both of you are good-for-nothings who don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. Your mom ran off with some man and had a bastard like you, and she still had the face to come back to the village. Tsk, she really has no shame! The two of you are just..."
Seeing Jiang Chen didn't respond, Shen Yuqing got even more worked up, his mouth spewing endless filthy words.
Jiang Chen was furious!
You can talk about him, but you absolutely can't talk about his mom!
So he put down his bowl and, with a swift movement, slapped Shen Yuqing across the face.
"Slap—"
The crisp sound of the slap echoed, and Shen Yuqing stumbled, almost falling to the ground. He covered his face in disbelief, pointed at Jiang Chen, and roared, "You fucking dare to hit me? Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
While speaking, Shen Yuqing reached out to slap Jiang Chen's face.
"Slap—"
Jiang Chen grabbed Shen Yuqing's hand and slapped his face again.
Then, he kicked Shen Yuqing hard in the stomach.
Duang!
"Ow!"
Shen Yuqing was thrown against a nearby table. Wincing in pain, he bent over and couldn't even stand up straight.
Crouching on the ground with his waist bent, Shen Yuqing glared up at Jiang Chen: "Bastard! You, you dare hit me again? Just wait, you poor, lowly mutt, I'll deal with you back in the village!"
"I'll be waiting!"
Looking down coldly at Shen Yuqing, Jiang Chen took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, threw it on the table, and headed towards the door.
"Hey! Wait, that's too much, I'll give you change." The restaurant owner glanced at the hundred yuan, then shouted after Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen, without turning back, waved his hand: "No need for change!"
"Fuck! Some deadbeat trying to act generous here. You're spending money you didn't even earn yourself, parading around with cash you got from a woman, trying to act like some rich young master!" Shen Yuqing cursed out loud.
Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks and turned back to give Shen Yuqing a cold look.
Shen Yuqing immediately felt as if he was being targeted by a wild beast, a chill running through him that froze him to the spot.
After a while, when Shen Yuqing had come back to his senses, Jiang Chen had already disappeared. Cursing and swearing, he got up, paid the bill, and left the restaurant just as irate.
"Vroom vroom—squeak!"
But just as Shen Yuqing got to his BMW, a domineering roar sounded, and a mighty Knight motorcycle charged towards him, coming to a stop right in front of him.
"You..."
Shen Yuqing jumped, about to start cursing, but as soon as he saw the vehicle, he stopped dead.
What kind of car is this?
Why is it so imposing!
It's so fierce!
It's so shocking!
How much does this car cost?
Shen Yuqing was completely stunned!
