Chapter 145 How Much Is That Piece of Junk Worth?

Zeng Xiaofan excitedly tapped the horn upon seeing this.

Honk!

The Tyrannosaurus's horn blared with an imposing and harsh sound, startling Su Yufei, who was standing not far in front of the vehicle. Her chest heaved slightly, and she instinctively reached out to press against it, turning her head to glare at Zeng Xiaofan's car with an expression of pure fury.

Zeng Xiaofan quickly leaned out of the window and waved repeatedly. "Teacher Su!!!"

"It's me!"

"Do you remember me?"

"I'm Zeng Xiaofan, the student from the class you taught the year you just graduated!"

Zeng Xiaofan waved enthusiastically as he spoke, while Chen Lini in the passenger seat asked with a puzzled smile,

"What... Teacher Su taught you before too?"

"She was my English teacher as well, what a coincidence..."

However, Su Yufei merely glanced coldly at Zeng Xiaofan, freezing for a brief moment as she clearly recognized who he was.

Yet Su Yufei did not acknowledge him at all. Instead, she rolled her eyes in disdain and immediately turned her hips away, ready to leave.

At that moment, Chen Lini opened the car door and stepped out, smiling brightly.

"Teacher Su! You're here so early!"

"Where are the others?"

Seeing Chen Lini step out of Zeng Xiaofan's car, Su Yufei paused once more, her face filled with suspicion.

Yet, facing Chen Lini's greeting, the previously frosty-faced Su Yufei instantly broke into a warm, enthusiastic smile, opening her arms wide as she rushed forward.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Who could this great beauty be?"

"Why, it's my honey baby, little Nini!"

"Oh, dearest, you look simply stunning tonight!!!"

"Oh my god!"

"Is very beautiful!"

"It's simply unbelievable!"

"Oh my god!"

"You are so se-e-xy!"

Su Yufei's mouth formed a wide "O" shape in excitement, her exclamation a mix of English and Chinese, as she pulled Chen Lini into a tight embrace.

The sight of two voluptuous women hugging each other so closely made even Zeng Xiaofan feel a little awkward.

His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself that Teacher Su was certainly overly enthusiastic. If she were to hug him like that later...

With the teacher's figure pressing against his chest... Zeng Xiaofan blushed just imagining it.

However, as it turned out, Zeng Xiaofan was overthinking things entirely.

After warmly greeting Chen Lini, Su Yufei didn't even spare Zeng Xiaofan a single glance, showing no intention of acknowledging him whatsoever.

Scratching his head with an awkward smile, Zeng Xiaofan purposely walked around to stand right in front of Su Yufei, waving his hand.

"Teacher Su, do you really not remember me?"

"I'm your student too! From the class you taught during your internship the year you graduated?"

Su Yufei finally turned her head, tossing her voluminous wavy hair back, and looked at Zeng Xiaofan properly for the first time, her eyes filled with nothing but contempt.

"Zeng Xiaofan! Are you ever going to quit?"

"I remember you used to be quite smart. Can't you tell that I have zero desire to talk to you?"

"Do you really need me to spell it out for you so bluntly?"

Hearing these words, the smile froze instantly on Zeng Xiaofan's face, and the warmth of a reunion was entirely extinguished in an instant.

"Huh??"

"So... you actually recognized me that day at the restaurant by the school gates, didn't you?"

"I thought you just hadn't heard me calling out to you..."

"But... Teacher Su, did I do something wrong to offend you?"

Su Yufei rolled her eyes once more, crossing her arms over her proud chest with a look of utter scorn.

"Zeng Xiaofan, oh Zeng Xiaofan, you're a grown man, why don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"Being a poor man is the ultimate original sin, understand?"

"As long as you can't make money and remain a penniless loser, everything you do is wrong!"

"What's the bloody use of having right principles, a good personality, or a kind character if you're still a total failure?"

"In a word! If an adult man can't make money, everything he does is wrong, wrong, wrong!"

"Your wife won't love you, and your parents won't care about you, okay?"

"The moment you make money, even your farts smell like roses! Do you understand?"

"Did you hear what I said?"

Saying this, Su Yufei looked Zeng Xiaofan up and down, growing even more contemptuous.

"You're already an adult, a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old young man, yet you sit in a restaurant ordering a four- or five-yuan plate of ham and eggs!"

"How do you even have the face to greet your teacher when you've turned out like this?"

"You have the nerve to say hello, but I'd be too embarrassed to even answer you, alright?"

"A total loser! Don't you dare go around telling people you're my student. Turning out like this, I find it shameful just knowing you!"

"Okay? Have I made myself crystal clear now?"

"I originally wanted to leave you a shred of dignity, but you just had to make me put it so bluntly..."

The more she spoke, the more agitated Su Yufei became, her chest heaving violently while her eyes rolled back so hard it seemed her pupils might disappear.

Hearing this tirade from Su Yufei, Zeng Xiaofan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

"It seems that despising the poor and currying favor with the rich is truly human nature. Even Teacher Su cannot escape it."

"Tsk~ You got that spot on. I am just a very realistic person."

With that, Su Yufei turned back to Chen Lini and said, "Nini baby, don't take this the wrong way!"

"You're the county magistrate's daughter! With your noble status, how could you possibly hang around with dregs like this?"
"Let me tell you, scum like him only have their eyes on the swan meat, dreaming of marrying above their station!"

"You mustn't let him trick you!"

"Look at him, he actually drove a farming truck with a cargo bed to drop you off here..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Su Yufei cast another contemptuous look at Zeng Xiaofan.

"Zeng Xiaofan, oh Zeng Xiaofan, I didn't even want to say it!"

"This is the Peach Blossom Banquet Hotel, one of the top establishments in the entire city! When coming to such a high-end place, I beg you, even if you have to rent one, at least rent a decent car, alright?"

"Is this piece-of-crap pickup truck you're driving even worth one hundred thousand yuan?"

"Driving such garbage here completely shames us, do you know that?"

"And you still had the nerve to greet me and ask why I ignored you? Looking at you two extra times just lowers my class, alright!"

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaofan smiled with a crooked grin, knowing full well that Teacher Su clearly knew nothing about cars. Like most women, she only recognized Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, and assumed any pickup truck was just a farm vehicle.

"No... Teacher Su, actually my car isn't that cheap either..."

"Heh~" Su Yufei gave a cold laugh, spreading her hands and rolling her eyes.

"Excuse me, just how expensive can a piece-of-junk pickup truck that isn't even allowed into the city center possibly be?"

"Seventy thousand?"

"Eighty thousand?"

"One hundred thousand at most?"

"And here you are, a grown man, feeling proud driving a hundred-thousand-yuan piece of junk?"

"Truly a frog at the bottom of a well, the scum of all losers!"

Just as Su Yufei finished speaking, the sound of a group of men and women laughing and chatting suddenly echoed nearby.

Following the sound, a tall, handsome, and impeccably dressed young master from a wealthy family was walking toward them with swaggering strides, surrounded by a flock of male and female classmates.

His suave demeanor during the conversation drew bursts of shrill screams from the women from time to time.

"Young Master Liu Yujie!" Upon seeing the rich young heir, Su Yufei immediately put on a beaming smile.

Hearing the call, Liu Yujie spotted Su Yufei and Chen Lini at a glance, his eyes instantly lighting up.

"Teacher Su! Lini! You two are even earlier than me!"

"Gosh! The two of you are absolute top-tier beauties! You're melting my heart!"

Liu Yujie joked, considering himself quite witty, before his gaze fell on the vehicle nearby and lit up once more.

"Oh! This car... isn't this a Tyrannosaurus?"
