Chapter 84 Chen Xiaomiao's First Day with Her Driver's License

Although she said "yes" verbally, Chen Xiaomiao showed no awareness of being a "mother of the child" in her actions.

As winter in Jiangcheng grew colder, Lu Yuan suggested more than once that since his bed was large, the two of them could squeeze in and save a lot on electricity bills.

But Chen Xiaomiao absolutely refused.

Every night, I still sleep soundly in my little room, holding a hot water bottle and wrapped in two thick quilts.

However, since learning that her family was "very wealthy," Chen Xiaomiao's spending habits have indeed undergone some subtle changes.

She is still the same person.

If a grain of rice falls on the table, I will pick it up without hesitation and put it in my mouth.

When buying groceries at the supermarket, I'm willing to wait for ages just for a discount of a few dollars.

The air conditioner remote control in the room was completely sealed off and was not turned on throughout the entire winter.

But Chen Xiaomiao no longer said anything about Lu Yuan's expenses.

Overall, the practice has changed from deducting from everything in the past to deducting from only oneself now.

……

This was the day Chen Xiaomiao got her driver's license.

In the driving school lobby, Chen Xiaomiao and more than a dozen students stood up with their hands raised, and recited the oath of traffic safety and civilized driving word by word with the oath leader.

After the oath was taken, the group gathered in twos and threes, waiting for the staff to issue their driver's licenses.

In the crowd, a stylishly dressed girl of similar age to Chen Xiaomiao was speaking animatedly, becoming the focus of the entire event.

"Phew, the exams are finally over! My dad said that as soon as I get my license this winter break, he'll immediately buy me an Audi A4."

To be honest, I still prefer the Model Y; it feels more futuristic to drive. Unfortunately, my family is prejudiced against electric cars and insists they're unsafe, which is incredibly annoying.

The girl's name is He Na. During the exams, everyone has heard her constantly bragging about how rich she is.

Each time, everyone would laugh after hearing her story, not bothering to embarrass her, and casually offering a few words of flattery.

“Nana, you’re so lucky. My dad said that once I got my driver’s license, he would let me practice in his old Jetta that he’s driven for ten years.”

"That's still better than me. I'm afraid I can only drive for Didi if I buy a BYD car!"

Chen Xiaomiao listened quietly to the sound, her bright black eyes full of curiosity.

She leaned closer to He Na and whispered, "Um... Mo... Mo Douwai... what kind of car is it?"

Her question only fueled He Na's excitement, her eyes widening dramatically: "Seriously, sister? You don't even know Tesla?"

Chen Xiaomiao shook her head honestly: "Is it very expensive?"

A hint of disdain flashed across He Na's face as she waved her hand and said, "It's not that expensive, around two or three hundred thousand yuan after all. As a first car for a new driver, I think it's quite suitable."

"hiss--"

Chen Xiaomiao gasped.

Two or three hundred thousand...that's how many kilograms of flour!
Although Lu Yuan had explained to her that cars are valuable these days, hearing a figure in the tens of thousands still shocked Chen Xiaomiao.

Seeing Chen Xiaomiao's naive and unsophisticated demeanor, He Na felt an overwhelming sense of superiority and deliberately retorted, "And you? Have you decided what kind of car you'll drive?"

Chen Xiaomiao thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I haven't thought about it yet... I guess I'll just drive the old car at home..."

Lu Yuan's old car is dilapidated and probably not worth much money. He drives it to practice and doesn't care if he crashes it.

As they were talking, the staff started calling out names and issuing driver's licenses.

"Chen Xiaomiao!"

"To!"

Chen Xiaomiao responded crisply, jogged over, and solemnly accepted the driver's license with both hands.

Clutching the little notebook and putting it in her pocket, the girl felt a surge of joy.

Stepping out of the service hall, the warm winter afternoon sun shone on me.

Lu Xin had been waiting for a long time by the roadside at the entrance.

Chen Xiaomiao jogged forward and greeted him politely, "Uncle Lü, what brings you here!"

Chen Xiaomiao felt a natural sense of closeness to this simple, honest uncle who spoke with a similar "Central Plains accent." Lü Xin politely said, "Miss Chen, I've come to deliver your car."

Chen Xiaomiao then noticed a brand-new sedan parked next to Lü Xin. The car was a deep silver-gray color, gleaming in the sunlight.

Just by looking at its appearance, it's much more impressive than those driving school training cars!

"Here you go, Miss Chen."

Lu Xin smiled憨厚ly, took out his car keys from his pocket and handed them over: "Boss, it's your classmate's birthday today, he'll probably drink a bit, you can drive to pick him up."

Chen Xiaomiao took the key and looked at the blue and white logo on it, feeling a little confused.

"Uncle Lü, what kind of car is this?"

"M5, Miss Chen, you don't like it?"

"No, no, no, I think this car is really nice. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"Not expensive, around a thousand yuan."

Lu Xin wasn't lying; the cost of transporting the top-of-the-line M5 to Jiangcheng, including shipping and various handling fees, was indeed only a few thousand yuan.

But when Li Na and the other trainees, who had just come out of the hall, heard these words, they took on a completely different meaning.

The group of people looked at each other, dumbfounded.

A thousand or so?
Are you buying a model car to appease a child?

Did they run into a naive rich girl who's here to experience life?
Or is it a Yuzhou accent?
He Na, in particular, blushed and turned pale with embarrassment, her face, though made up, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Chen Xiaomiao was completely unaware of what was happening; she genuinely believed Lü Xin's words and was still making her own plans.

So it turns out these metal lumps can be cheap too, you can buy one for around a thousand yuan. I'll have to talk to Lu Yuan about it later, so we don't keep wasting money...

She happily opened the car door, turned around and waved to Li Na and the others, revealing a bright smile.

"I'm leaving first, you should go home early too!"

After saying that, she got into the driver's seat, and with Lu Xin's simple instructions, she started the engine, shifted gears, and released the handbrake.

With a deep engine roar, the M5 smoothly merged into the traffic.

……

Commercial street at the south gate of Jiangcheng University.

Chen Xiaomiao parked the car steadily on the side of the road and took a deep breath.

It was her first time driving alone, and she couldn't contain her excitement.

She took out her phone and sent Lu Yuan a voice message, her tone unusually excited.

"Lu Yuan, I'm here to pick you up!"

Lu Yuan's reply came quickly.

Look to your left.

Chen Xiaomiao turned her head and saw Lu Yuan and several boys walking out of the restaurant, chatting and laughing. They were all flushed from drinking and walking unsteadily.

She quickly pushed open the door and got out of the car, waving vigorously at Lu Yuan.

"Lu Yuan—!"

Lu Yuan said a few last words to his classmates, "See you next year," waved, crossed the road alone, and got into the passenger seat.

At the restaurant entrance, watching the taillights of the car gradually disappear into the distance, everyone sobered up a bit.

"Holy crap...she's Lu Yuan's mysterious 'junior' girlfriend?"

"Which department are they from? Are there any people like that at our school? I've never seen them before."

"The key point is the car... Did you guys see it clearly?"

Fatty Wang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Just now at the dinner table, I was advising Lu Yuan: "You have to be willing to let go after graduation. You know how it is in the civil engineering field. Don't become someone's long-term meal ticket. We can't outmaneuver 'green tea junior girls'."

After all that, it turns out the seemingly innocent and scheming junior schoolgirl is actually a hidden rich woman.

What incredible luck did Lu Yuan have?!
