Reborn in 2000: Reuniting with the School Belle

Chapter 153

In the evening, at the entrance of the Rolling Mill Workers’ Quarters.

A group of elderly women and men sat under the big tree at the entrance of the neighborhood, enjoying the cool breeze and chatting about the neighborhood gossip.

“Has your bicycle been fixed, Old Lady Asang?” Old Man Wang asked casually, fanning himself.

Holding a basin of pumpkin seedlings at the entrance, Old Lady Asang was picking vegetables while cursing, “The tire was fixed, but now the chain broke. Such bad luck, I wonder who the hell punctured my tire. If I find out, I’ll break their damn legs!”

She was furious whenever the topic of her bicycle tire came up.

The last time, after eating noodles and going to fetch her bicycle, she discovered the tire was flat after just two pedals. While supporting herself, she even twisted her ankle, which made her explode in anger and curse for a long time.

After injuring her ankle, she had taken some time off to recover and asked around in the neighborhood, but no one saw who punctured her tire. She had no choice but to swallow this loss, holding a grudge and getting angry whenever it was mentioned.

Old Man Wang secretly chuckled, saying, “Old Lady Asang, you really have been unlucky lately. Why don’t you go pray at the Land Temple tomorrow to change your luck?”

Old Lady Asang glared at him, replying irritably, “Pray what? You go pray, pray that you live a few more years!”

“You!” Old Man Wang was so angry that he glared back, unable to have a conversation with Old Lady Asang, whose tongue was as sharp and cutting as a knife.

Serves you right for having your tire punctured!

An elderly lady tried to mediate, “Old Lady Asang, don’t talk like that. Old Man Wang is a good person, don’t curse him.”

“I didn’t curse him. If I were his age, I’d have lived enough by now and be ready for whatever comes next,” Old Lady Asang stubbornly retorted.

The other elders shook their heads, finding Old Lady Asang difficult to get along with; she was truly a shrew, which is why she was unpopular in the neighborhood.

Old Man Wang snorted and turned away, refusing to engage with her further.

At this moment, as people were leaving the steel factory, the neighborhood became busier, with several motorcycles entering. Two motorcycles passed by her, kicking up dust in her face.

“Damn it, are you blind?! Didn’t you see someone sitting here?!” Old Lady Asang stood up and cursed loudly.

One of the motorcyclists stopped and complained, “This is a road, not your house! Who asked you to sit here?”

Old Lady Asang pointed at him and cursed, “I’ll sit wherever I like, what’s it to you?! Damn it, if you hit me, you’ll pay! Blind bastard! Damn loser!”

The middle-aged motorcyclist, his face turning dark with anger, chose not to argue further and drove away.

After the motorcyclist left, Old Lady Asang continued cursing for a few more minutes before sitting down to continue picking vegetables.

Suddenly, the sound of a car horn startled her.

Just as she was about to curse again, she turned and saw to her surprise a sedan, identical to the one she had seen factory leaders using!

My goodness, could it be some leader visiting?

The appearance of the Audi at the entrance of the neighborhood also attracted the attention of bystanders, all curiously observing and discussing.

“Wow, an Audi luxury car! That must cost around two hundred thousand, right?”

“Is it a leader visiting?”

“It must be a high-ranking leader to drive such a car.”

“Such a handsome car! It has such presence!”

“Could it be a big leader from the city?”

…

Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Old Lady Asang knew she was blocking the way and hurriedly got up, apologizing profusely to the car, “Ah, my apologies to the big leader! I, I’ll move right away.”

Old Man Wang couldn’t help but feel delighted by the scene.

Keep cursing, let’s see if you dare to curse now!

Look at that petty face of yours! Pah!

The other elders cast disdainful looks at her.

Embarrassed, Old Lady Asang moved to the side of the road, bowing repeatedly and apologizing, “Leader, please don’t mind me! Sorry, sorry, have a good day!”

The Audi slowly started moving forward, stopped next to Old Lady Asang, and the driver’s window rolled down to reveal Yi Feng’s smiling face.

“Old Lady Asang, you’re quite polite today. You’ve improved,” Yi Feng mocked.

Inside the car, Gu Muxi couldn’t stop laughing, holding her stomach in pain, amused by Old Lady Asang’s respectful and scared demeanor.

Old Lady Asang, seeing Yi Feng driving and Gu Muxi inside, stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.

This car belongs to him?!

How did Yi Feng end up driving such a luxury car?!

My goodness! Did he strike it rich through some connections?

The other elders also noticed Yi Feng and Gu Muxi in the car and were stunned.

“Little Feng, is this your car?” Old Man Wang asked in utter disbelief.

“Yes, Old Man Wang, I just bought this car,” Yi Feng responded with a smile.

“My heavens! Little Feng, your family has struck it rich!” Old Man Wang’s face was filled with shock.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew Yi Feng had topped the province in the exams, and they all admired him. Every time they saw Yi Jianbing and Meng Xiaoyun, they couldn’t help but praise them.

But now, Yi Feng had bought a luxury car!

This was even more shocking!

Such a car looked expensive!

The Yi family had truly made it big, unstoppable!

“Old Man Wang, we’ll be going now. We’ll come to have tea with you another day,” Yi Feng said his farewells and drove away.

As the luxury car’s taillights faded into the distance, the crowd buzzed with conversation.

“Little Feng is so successful, buying a luxury car right after graduation!”

“I heard he opened a store outside, must be making big money!”

“What store?”

“Something about an electronics store, well, I’m not exactly sure, but he definitely owns a store.”

“Really? That’s incredibly successful! The kid is impressive!”

“Absolutely, good at studies, topped the province, and knows how to make money. If only he were my grandchild!”

“Ah, the Yi family’s future is set, skyrocketing to success! Envy them!”
