"Here, here, why are you yelling at me? Honestly."
Although she said that, Liu Mei hurried back to help. She had no choice; the family's reputation relied on her husband's manager position.
The decision-making in the family had gradually shifted from Liu Mei to Sun Zhi because of his promotion.
But as Liu Mei was being called back by Sun Zhi, she still didn't forget to show off to Lin Yi:
"Your Uncle Sun's new Audi A6! Someone even sent Uncle Sun some rice or something. I need to quickly help tidy things up. Let me tell you, this car is quite expensive, costing hundreds of thousands. If you work hard, maybe by the time you're Uncle Sun's age, you can save up that much."
Looking at Liu Mei's seemingly educational but actually showy demeanor, one wonders where she got such confidence.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, not bothering to argue with her.
He casually lifted his hand to press the Range Rover's remote control.
Click.
As Lin Yi pressed the remote, the brand-new Range Rover behind him suddenly flashed its lights.
Liu Mei, who had already reached her husband, didn't see this scene. When she heard the sound, she turned her head in confusion to look at Lin Yi, muttering quietly:
"Eh? What was that sound? Lao Sun, did you hear it? What's wrong, Lao Sun? Why does your face look so bad?"
Looking at her husband, she found his face turning red with embarrassment, and she began to show concern.
But Sun Zhi didn't respond to her concern; instead, he stared at the new Range Rover complexly.
Liu Mei might have missed the scene, but Sun Zhi did not.
From Lin Yi raising his hand to the Range Rover's lights flashing, he saw it all clearly.
Most importantly, due to Sun Zhi's job nature and his extreme love for luxury cars, he often researched them online.
This Range Rover is clearly a top-of-the-line Range Rover. Even without any additional features, it would cost nearly four million altogether!
What concept is this? If compared to his newly bought second-hand old A6, it could be exchanged for sixty or seventy of them!
What made him most ashamed was his wife just bragged about their broken A6 in front of Lin Yi.
This is a tremendous irony, flaunting a 60,000 second-hand car in front of someone driving a four-million luxury car...
It's no exaggeration to say that if there were a crack in the ground in front of Sun Zhi now, he would dive in without hesitation.
As for whether the car belonged to Lin Yi, Sun Zhi was one hundred percent sure it was indeed his!
Judging by the brand-new condition of the car, it was fresh out of the dealership, and coincidentally, Lin Yi had just sold something for five million yesterday.
To say that the car wasn't Lin Yi's, he wouldn't believe it.
"What are you looking at, Lao Sun? Eh? This big car is a Land Rover, right? Isn't it the same as our boss's? I know this car, it's called a 'Divine Walker', right? I heard from the boss that it costs over 600,000! But whose car is this? I've never seen it in the neighborhood before."
Hearing Liu Mei still prattling on, Sun Zhi's face flushed even more. If you don't know, don't come out and embarrass yourself! Divine Walker? Your whole family are Divine Walkers!
Before he could scold her, Liu Mei continued speaking to herself:
"Must be someone visiting, right? Wow, I didn't expect there was someone in our neighborhood with relatives as rich as my husband."
"Are you done yet? Nobody will mistake you for a mute if you don't speak!"
After saying that, perhaps feeling truly humiliated, Sun Zhi bent over and extended half his body into the trunk to move a bag of rice.
Meanwhile, Liu Mei couldn't help but mumble quietly: "Stern, stern, all he knows is how to scold me all day."
Hearing their conversation, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile and shake his head again as he walked past them to head upstairs.
However, although he didn't want to speak, the sharp-eyed Liu Mei spotted him.
"Hey, Lin Yi, wait a minute, wait a minute, don't go yet. Your Uncle Sun has a bad back; you're young and strong, help us move this stuff."
Lin Yi was initially stunned upon hearing this, then stopped in his tracks and turned back towards them with a smile: "Hehe, sure, I'll help."
After all, these two were neighborhood elders.
Besides, this is in the community, with many people watching. If he ignored them and left, people would likely gossip that the child from the Lin family wasn't raised well.
However, as Sun Zhi, who was bent over in the trunk moving rice, heard that Liu Mei was calling Lin Yi for help, he nearly rammed his head into the trunk:
"Liu Mei, are you nuts?! Why are you asking Xiao Yi for help?"
After scolding Liu Mei, he looked at Lin Yi, who had already walked over, and despite feeling awkward, he forced a smile and said:
"No worries, Xiao Yi, don't listen to your Aunt Liu, you don't have to help. Isn't your college entrance exam in two days? You should go back and study."
Even though he didn't have any good feelings toward Lin Yi, he had to say that. After all, the other party was doing better than him, and Lin Yi held his secret.
"Hehe, it's nothing, just a small favor. And I haven't thanked you for yesterday yet."
Saying this, Lin Yi stepped forward, lifted the bag of rice, and carried it on his shoulder, sincerely thanking Sun Zhi.
This gratitude was genuine because if it hadn't been for that 50,000 car purchase, he wouldn't have this Range Rover.
But to Sun Zhi, that thank you felt like a steel needle piercing his heart.
Next to him, Liu Mei, hearing Lin Yi's words, looked puzzled from her husband to the calm Lin Yi, triggered her suspicion.
What? From the sound of Lin Yi, did her husband help him yesterday? But she didn't hear anything last night?
This Lao Sun is something. Why didn't he mention helping Lin Yi to her so she could claim some credit with Ye Xiao'er!
"Hey, no no! Really, you don't have to, Xiao Yi. Just leave it to us!"
Seeing her husband's anxious appearance, Liu Mei said:
"Oh come on, Lao Sun, what's wrong with letting Lin Yi help with a bag since your back isn't good? Besides, didn't you help him yesterday, according to Lin Yi?"
