After safely driving Liu Ai back to the Health Clinic in his new car, Du Heng checked the ti. It was the end of the workday, so he decided to call Dong Yuezhang.
"Dong, are you ready? When are we leaving?"
"I’m not going."
"What happened?"
"Jin’s wife gave birth. It’s a boy."
Du Heng was taken aback. When the hell did this happen?
Dong Yuezhang, on the other end of the line, seed to sense Du Heng’s confusion and said directly, "At 4:20 this afternoon, Jin posted on ins. Didn’t you see it?"
Du Heng was extrely frustrated. "Damn it! Except for a few minutes on my phone at noon, when else would I have ti to look at it? How do you guys have so much free ti to scroll through ins?"
"Enough chit-chat. I’m still busy here. I’ve already sent Jin a Red Envelope, and we’ll find another ti to visit him."
With that, he hung up, infuriating Du Heng to the point that he wanted to smash his phone.
What kind of people are these? What the hell is going on?
Despite his irritation, he opened his ins. It took him almost three minutes to find Jin’s post amidst the flood of advertisents.
Speaking of ins, Du Heng was incredibly frustrated.
What even is this ins thing? It’s more like a distribution center for advertisents.
Du Heng had tried hard to block friends who posted advertisents, not looking at their posts, thinking this would make his ins feed cleaner.
But surprisingly, the more he blocked, the more ads appeared.
Du Heng even wondered if everyone in his contacts had so kind of side business.
What left him most speechless was seeing an advertisent from Liao Quansheng selling dicinal herbs among them. That was really too much.
He just wanted to know one thing: is advertising on ins actually effective?
With a sigh, Du Heng decided to stick to his previous thod. Since I can’t change the situation, I’ll just ignore it.
Places like the confinent room were forbidden territory for Du Heng; it was better to avoid them if possible.
After reading the ssage, he imdiately did the sa as Dong Yuezhang and sent Jin a Red Envelope.
Then he called out to Du Xuejing, who was already back in the dormitory joking around with the nurses, "Let’s go. There’s nothing on tonight. We’re going ho."
Du Xuejing, whose fun had been interrupted, unhappily walked up to Du Heng’s new car and got in without a second glance. Such a large vehicle, no matter how expensive or new, held no attraction for her. She even thought it was too cumberso.
Du Heng paid no mind to her sulking and drove off.
Seeing the old car still parked there, Du Xuejing suddenly asked, "Little Uncle, are you still going to drive the sedan in the yard?"
Du Heng glanced back at Du Xuejing and asked with a smile, "What are you scheming?"
Du Xuejing imdiately changed her tune, flashing an almost fawning smile. "Little Uncle, now that you have a new car, could you let have the old one? Look, it’s been half a year since I got my license, but I’ve never actually driven. How about you let use that one to practice?"
Du Heng chuckled. "I could give it to you, but you’ll have to discuss it with your dad."
Du Xuejing was stunned. "Why?"
"Because I’m planning to give that car to your dad." Reaching an intersection, Du Heng checked for traffic and, seeing none, quickly turned onto the main road.
"Last year, I offered to buy your dad a car, but he refused. He even said he’d break my legs if I dared to buy him one. Now that I’ve upgraded, I’ll give him the old one. He won’t have any objections this way. So, if you want to drive it, you’ll need his permission."
Du Xuejing’s lips imdiately ford a pout again.
She knew very well that if the car went to her father, it would be as good as it going to her mother. If she wanted to drive now, her mother would definitely not agree.
Having failed to get Du Heng’s approval, Du Xuejing imdiately gave him the silent treatnt.
And as soon as they got ho, she burst in and shouted to her father, "Dad, Little Uncle bought a car! He spent five hundred thousand yuan!"
"How much?"
An irritated voice instantly bood from inside the house. Du Ping erged from the main room, his face dark as he walked towards the entrance, muttering, "That spendthrift! What a wastrel! If he really dared to spend five hundred thousand yuan on a car, just watch how I’ll deal with him."
Du Heng, who had just parked the car and hadn’t yet reached the doorway, was t head-on by Du Ping. Before Du Heng could utter a word, Du Ping, his face grim, demanded, "You bought a car?"
Having heard Du Xuejing’s announcent, Du Heng quickly reached out, slinging an arm around his elder brother’s shoulder and said with a placating smile, "Big Brother, co take a look. I’m sure you’ll love it."
His expression still dark, Du Ping shrugged off Du Heng’s placating arm. "How much did it cost?"
"Heh, just co see it first. The money isn’t important. What matters is that it’s impressive and that you’ll like it."
Just a few steps later, as they rounded the corner of the wall, the brand new, imposing vehicle parked behind the house ca into view.
Upon seeing the new vehicle, Du Ping, whose face had been dark, visibly stiffened.
Even for a farr like him, this type of vehicle was undeniably attractive.
"This is the new car you bought?" His voice had lost much of its earlier harshness.
Seeing his elder brother’s reaction, Du Heng felt a wave of relief. Looks like I might escape a scolding today after all.
"Big Brother, what do you think? Isn’t it cool and impressive?"
