Stealing Your Heart

Chapter 93

“Stop it.” He Ruize cut her off.

He felt conflicted. He Ruilin’s words stabbed the weakest parts in him.

He had done nothing for the family business. It had all been He Ruixing’s efforts.

He enjoyed the societal status of being a member of the He family, but he had done nothing to contribute back.

“Let me think about it.” He Ruize’s lowered his head.

“Alright. I shall wait for your good news.” He Ruilin did not continue to push him.

He had already agreed to think about it, that was good.

After all, he had rejected her straight away the last time.

“Don’t think about it too long. It’s not good for either you or me.”

He Ruize said nothing else and walked away.

Lin Xinyan logged off her chatting software. She had discussed with her client about their choice of style and fabric types and had arranged to start making the attire at Country A. The bespoke attires were always handmade.

The store here was not done with its renovations yet, so she could only arrange to make it in Country A.

She closed her laptop and rubbed the spot between her eyebrows. Thinking about Zhuang Zijin’s inconvenience in bringing two children out, she took her phone out of her pocket, planning to buy a car.

She dialed Doudou’s number, and the call quickly went through.

“Hello?”

Yu Doudou’s voice came from the other end.

“Hello, I’m Lin Xinyan.”

“Oh, I realized!”

“Are you free?”

“Yes.”

“I’m thinking of getting a car, but I’ve been abroad for many years, so I’m not familiar with the models. If you’re free, would you mind bringing me to look at cars?”

“Sure, I’ll come in half an hour’s time to your place.”

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.”

After Lin Xinyan ended the call, she saved his phone number into her contacts list.

Half an hour. That meant she still had some time. She went to take a shower and changed the dress she was wearing into a T-shirt and pants. If she was going for test drives later, wearing a dress would be inconvenient.

Just as she finished her tasks, Yu Doudou arrived.

She locked her house door and went downstairs.

Yu Doudou was waiting at the entrance of the district. When he saw her coming, he pulled open the door to the backseat.

“Thank you.” Lin Xinyan smiled. “You’re too polite. I can open it myself.”

“It’s fine.” Yu Doudou smiled and sat in the driver’s seat. He looked back at Lin Xinyan and asked, “What’s your budget for the car?”

Lin Xinyan thought about it. “A car with good safety features, between 300 thousand to 500 thousand.”

Yu Doudou smacked his lips. “You’re quite rich.”

Lin Xinyan cleared her throat. “I’m still alright.”

She had been saving up over these years. She had a house abroad, but she had sold her car.

Yu Doudou was about to ask more, but he did not. If her mind was made up, she would tell him. If he kept asking, she might find him bothersome.

Lin Xinyan could see that he wanted to ask her something.

Before meeting with He Ruilin, she had decided not to hold her accountable for the accident because of He Ruize. Yet after meeting with He Ruilin, she realized that even if she did not want to, He Ruilin would not let her off.

Their enmity was formed long ago.

It was impossible to resolve it.

“Doudou. Can I call you this?” Lin Xinyan asked.

“Sure.” This was his name.

When others heard his name was called Doudou, they would give him a look, then say, “You’re a man, why is your name Doudou?”

What could he do about it? His parents gave him this name.

“Have you found out about the background of the woman who killed your brother?”

Yu Doudou shook his head.

“Have you heard of He family in B City?”

Yu Doudou nodded. “Yes. They have a jewelry business, and it’s at least a century-old. They’re one of the rich households in B City.”

“If I told you that the person who killed your brother was from the He family, would you still want to continue investigating?” It was already difficult to investigate a cold case for an average person, not to mention a cold case involving people with powerful connections.

It would be difficult to turn the table for this case.

If Lin Xinyan was going to work with him, she had to know how determined he was.

After all, this was not an easy path to walk.

Yu Doudou was stunned for a moment as if not expecting the woman to have powerful connections.

His hands gripped onto the steering wheel tightly. “I can’t just back down because she’s from a rich family. An eye for an eye, a life for a life.”

His words were spoken with a determined tone.

His brother was guilty, but his life was up for the law to judge.

“Alright, let’s work together.” It was within her expectations.

If he could be stubborn about this case for so many years, he should have perseverance.

Yu Doudou gave a bitter laugh. “I’m not human if I didn’t care about my family.”

As they spoke, the car came to a stop at the car dealership store.

“This area is full of car dealers; you can take a look and see what models you’re interested in.”

Lin Xinyan got down from the car and pointed to the first dealership. “I’ll look from here first.”

“Sure. I can’t afford cars but now I can finally look at cars.” Yu Doudou said, jeering at himself.

Lin Xinyan took a look at him. “What you’re driving isn’t a car?”

“That’s true, I drive every day.” Although it was a cab, it was still a car.

The glass door had sensors. When someone came close to it, it automatically opened. The salesman walked out to greet her. “What cars would you like to see? We have a new coupe model. Do you want to take a look?”

Lin Xinyan shook her head. “I want to look at seven-seater cars.”

Comfortable and spacious. She would be able to put other things in the car even if she had two children sitting in the car.

“What about this model?” The salesman brought Lin Xinyan towards a commercial seven-seater SUV. “This model has a spacious interior. There’s a sales going on right now, and you can have a discount of by a few thousand. It’s worth it.”

Yu Doudou quietly moved closer to Lin Xinyan and whispered in her ear, “This car brand had quite a few petrol leakage incidents. Its reputation is questionable. Why don’t we look at others?”

Lin Xinyan turned to look at him.

He nodded confidently.

Lin Xinyan understood his words and smiled at the salesman. ‘I’m sorry, I don’t quite like the style of this car.”

When he heard Lin Xinyan’s words of dissatisfaction, the salesperson’s expression turned cold. “If you can’t afford it then just say it honestly. Don’t say words like I don’t like the style. Aren’t you just thinking it’s too expensive?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The salesman looked up and down at Lin Xinyan’s clothes. T-shirt and jeans, how unfashionable.

“Do you know how to talk?” Yu Doudou was furious.

Why were there people like this everywhere?

Looking down on others.

Lin Xinyan pulled him and shook her head. There was no need to start a conflict over small matters like this.

They would just go to another store.

After exiting the store, Yu Doudou still felt angry. “There are lots of lousy people around this year.”

Lin Xinyan looked at him. “Since you know that that’s a lousy person, why should you be angry?”

Yu Doudou thought about it. “You’re right.”

“That one. That brand has a good reputation. Their safety features were also tested. It’s just that they were more expensive.” Yu Doudou pointed at the foreign brand store at the opposite.

Lin Xinyan thought about it. “It’s okay if it’s expensive, as long as I get something I like.”

It was not strangers who sat in her car but the people she treasured. The safety feature was the most important part of her.

The two walked into the store. Unlike the previous store where someone greeted them, the salesman who wanted to stand up had sat back down after seeing her and Yu Doudou.

The salesman thought that Lin Xinyan and Yu Doudou could not afford the car.

Lin Xinyan raised her eyebrows.

The corner of Yu Doudou’s mouth twitched. “This is worse than the previous one.”

Lin Xinyan smiled. “Perhaps their attitude is because they’re not worried about the sales, as the car is good. It’s alright.”

“This brand does manufacture good cars, but the price is high.” Yu Doudou admitted.

Every car was at least a million.

The office door opened, and Guan Jing came out in the front as the manager walked beside him. “I’ll get someone to drive your car over.”
