Chapter 363 - The Car Is Too Good To Borrow

Shi Lei was woken up in the morning by people talking in the living room. He checked the time and it wasn’t early.

He got off the bed and walked out of the bedroom after dressing up. His second uncle and aunt were here. Shi Lei greeted them and walked inside the bathroom to wash up.

He was informed that they came because his mother agreed that they could borrow the car. They came today to borrow it for their relative.

Shi Lei went back to his room to grab the car key and passed it to his uncle.

“There should be enough gasoline. Since we are relatives, don’t worry about paying for it.”

His second uncle took the key but jumped at the sight of it. The trident on the car key was unbelievable to him.

Shi Lei should have earned some small money, but it was hardly believable that Shi Lei could afford a Maserati. The cheapest car of this brand was at least a million.

“Uh, Shitou, did you take the wrong key? Is this a key ring or something?”

Shi Lei didn’t think of it and replied, “I didn’t. I only have one car and I don’t have any key accessories on it.”

“But this car…” His second uncle was still shocked.

Shi Lei suddenly understood why. It was obvious that Shi Lei’s mother’s relatives were all ordinary people. None of them would’ve thought that someone in their family could afford such an expensive car.

Hence, he smiled as he took the key from his uncle. He walked to the window and unlocked the Quattroporte parked downstairs.

The Maserati Quattroporte beeped pleasantly. Shi Lei locked it again and smiled, “Second uncle, see? It’s that car, really!”

But when he passed the key over again, his second uncle didn’t dare to pick it up.

“How much is the car worth?” He asked hesitantly.

“More than two million in total. Don’t worry and just use it.”

His uncle hesitated for a while and shook his head, “I don’t dare to drive such an expensive car. Shitou, did you really buy it?”

“Mhm, I paid loans.” Shi Lei picked up the deep fried dough sticks. It was cold but he didn’t bother to heat it up.

His uncle was surprised, “A car worth two million? Little Shitou, how much do you make?”

“I bought it with loans. The down payment is only a few hundred thousand yuan.”

His uncle waved his hands, “That’s a lot of money. You need to be able to pay back the loans and it’s a big deal since the bank allowed that kind of loan. I thought you bought a car worth a few hundred thousand yuan. I don’t dare to drive it. What if I accidentally make scratches on it?”

Shi Lei swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled, “It’s fine. Just use it all you want. Even if something happens, there is a warranty. Just use it all you like.”

“That won’t do. The lead of the fleet is an Audi A6. If a two million yuan Maserati is there, don’t they have to change that?” His uncle waved his hands and took out his phone, “Nevermind, I’ll talk to them. We aren’t short on one car.”

Shi Lei’s second uncle walked to the balcony and called, “We might not be able to borrow this car,” he immediately spoke after the call connected.

The person over the phone found it strange, “Why? Your relative doesn’t have a car?”

“It’s not that they don’t have a car, but the car is just too good. It’s a two million yuan Maserati. Your whole fleet is only worth this one car.”

The caller on the other end fell silent after hearing it. They were all earnest people and they really did not dare to borrow it after knowing how expensive it was.

However, he couldn’t resist the temptation of a lavish car and thought that if he could have a two million car to lead the fleet, he would have all the face he wanted for the wedding ceremony.

Hence, the caller on the other side prompted, “Uh… The car is indeed too good and I know you don’t dare to drive it. But can you try asking if your relative is willing to come and drive it himself? I’ll change my child’s lead car to his.”

Shi Lei’s second uncle thought that it wasn’t a good decision and when he was about to decline, Shi Lei walked over, “Second uncle, its really fine. It’s just a car and wedding cars don’t drive as fast. Just take it and use it.”

His uncle heard it and decided, “Well, they said that they don’t dare to drive it just in case they bump into anything. But Shitou, you are on a holiday break right now. If you are free, do us a favour. Drive it yourself for half a day. They want your car as the first in the fleet. They probably want face…”

Shi Lei replied without thinking, “Ok. Tell me the address and time. I’ll go there tomorrow myself. But the first car needs to be decorated. Do I need to go there early?”

“Not too early. The couple lives in the same district. There’s no need to pick up the bride in a car. They should leave around 12PM. You’ll make it if you go by around 10AM.”

Shi Lei agreed and his second uncle informed his relative. The caller on the other end happily thanked him and hung up.

His second uncle and aunt sat for a while before leaving with gratitude. Before they left, Shi Lei took out the gifts he bought for them, which earned many thanks. They said that Shi Lei grew up promisingly and he was mature.

Shi Lei didn’t forget to add, “Aunt, uncle, they aren’t worth much. Remember to try it on at home and it will look better at the wedding tomorrow.”

This day, Shi Lei took all the things he bought for his relatives and delivered them to everyone in his extended family. All his relatives complimented him and told him that he made a fortune without forgetting his family,

He was out for the whole day and after having dinner at home, Shi Lei asked Shi Zhongping, “Dad, do you have the key to the house you get as the union president?”

“Yes. We were discussing that we’ll move some things we need for the New Year. But my legs aren’t healed yet and your mother didn’t dare to mention it. But if Yiyi and her mother are coming to our place for the New Year, we can’t stay here and we will have to move over there.”

Shi Lei replied, “Then don’t move anything. After I’m done with uncle’s event tomorrow, let’s go together and see what we need and we can buy them. It’s not our real house anyway. It’s for you because of your post and we have to return it to the factory sooner or later. Don’t move the things here. We’ll use it again later.”

Shi Zhongping thought that it really didn’t matter. The other house was furnished and the factory already furnished it with electronics. They only needed to purchase some daily objects to use and they didn’t cost much.

The next day, Shi Lei departed from his house about half past eight in the morning and headed towards the address his uncle gave him.

Although his uncle said he could arrive before 10AM, it was an important day and the car needed to be decorated. Shi Lei didn’t want to be tight on time. If something was to happen, he didn’t want to delay the lucky day for them.

He drove to the front of the residential district to find out that the front gate was completely blocked. A huge crowd surrounded the area and there seemed to be an argument going on.

Shi Lei frowned as he parked the car next to the road. He walked over and realised that two cars crashed.

Shi Lei finally understood what happened after watching for a while.

There were two families who were getting married today. Of them, there was his uncle’s relative. Because both couples were in the same area, the cars of the fleet all came relatively late. They planned to enter from the front entrance but another car drove right at them. But it was the entrance so they thought that the car coming would definitely stop and make way. They were negligent and crashed into each other.

The car just happened to be the car that was going to pick up the bride and they immediately started an argument seeing that their cars were damaged.
