Chapter 38 - The Luxury Car At the Entrance of the School

編集者: Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as she walked out of the school after the self-study session at night, she saw a pure black luxury car parked in front of the school entrance. It caught the attention of many male students who stopped to look. Xia Wei'an found it somewhat familiar but to her surprise, she saw Lee's chubby face when the glass of the driver's seat was slowly lowered. 

After glaring at him, Xia Wei'an turned around to leave. 

Lee called out to her softly, and she turned around abruptly to glower at him with a threatening gaze. Lee hurriedly fell silent and started the car before driving away quietly. 

The car was parked in a hidden place that Xia Wei'an also had to pass through while Lee stared at the pedestrians, fearing that he might miss Xia Wei'an. At this moment, he was already panicking. 

He seemed to have just done something wrong. Judging from the way she was dressed, he thought that she was the type to keep a high profile, so when Di Xingchen called to tell him to pick her up, he deliberately drove to the entrance of the school, but to his astonishment, Xia Wei'an turned around to leave as soon as she saw him. Yet, he called her out softly, but he fell silent after she scowled at him, however...

However, she had always possessed a peculiar temper, and she often made mountains out of molehills. Lee reckoned that she would definitely teach him a hard lesson today and then fire him! 

The thought of losing this well-paying job made Lee feel devastated. There was a heavy financial burden on him because of his family. What would happen if he lost this job? 

Being dejected and upset, he naturally didn't pay much attention to the things around him. Even when Xia Wei'an walked past the car, he didn't see her at all. Xia Wei'an then walked towards the car and hopped in. 

"You still know to wait here. It seems you're not a fool!" 

Xia Wei'an closed the car door and put down her bag before browsing some political news on her cellphone. 

Not daring to breathe hard, Lee was already prepared to take a scolding from her, and he thought that he would just bear with it before apologizing sincerely because he couldn't lose his job at all. 

However, after a long time, she still didn't answer. He turned around in bewilderment, only to see that she was engrossed in scrolling through some news in her cellphone. Not daring to interrupt her, he turned away bitterly and focused on driving. 

'Oh dear, Young Mistress must be bent on firing me, so she's too lazy to even scold me.' 

Along the way, Lee was in agony, and when they finally arrived at Di Xingchen's residence where Xia Wei'an alighted, he parked the car into the garage. After locking the door, he touched the car longingly and then turned around to walk towards the villa, all ready to return the car keys to the butler. 

The butler, Madam Xu, was sent by Di Xingchen's grandmother, to take care of the household matters of Di Xingchen and Xia Wei'an. She was kind and adored Xia Wei'an like Di Xingchen's grandmother did. She treated Xia Wei'an well too and would tolerate it even if Xia Wei'an was unreasonable. 

After explaining tomorrow's matters, Aunt Xu was ready to leave work, and as soon as she reached the entrance, she saw Xia Wei'an entering. She greeted respectfully, "Hello, Madam." 

In the past, Xia Wei'an never bothered to look at her, but she wasn't irked by it. However, today...

Smiling brightly, Xia Wei'an said politely, "Hello, Madam Xu, it's been hard on you. Quickly, go back and get some rest!" 

Madam Xu was stunned, and by the time she returned to her senses, Xia Wei'an had already walked to the end of the stairs and gone up to the second floor. 

"Madam Xu, here are the car keys. I've been fired."

Hanging his head low dejectedly, Lee walked over and gave the key to Madam Xu. 

"Who fired you?" 

Lee was shocked to hear Madam Xu's question since he had just seen her talking to Xia Wei'an and thought that they must have been talking about getting him sacked. Since it wasn't the case, he smiled and said, "No, nothing much, Madam Xu. I'll get off work now. Goodnight." 

He then scurried far, far away.
