Chapter 2 Flat Tire

up to wipe her eyes. She turned her head to look around the room and was a bit confused: "Hmm, where did Brother Xia Tian and Sister Chu go""Did they go out for breakfast" Wang Xiaoya wondered to hers...The First Chapter: Big and Small Beauties

"Third Brother, I only just found out that he's crazy!" Su Beibei pouted. Indeed, she now believed Xia Tian had a problem with his brain. If it were possible for Qiao Xiaoqiao to be his wife, there was no way in the world that someone like her would willingly become another woman’s concubine.

"Driver Uncle, I know you’re jealous of me," Xia Tian said lazily.

“Jealous of you Do I look like Su Junfeng who could be jealous of a nobody like you” the man felt both vexed and amused.

"Exactly. Third Brother has always been a genius, getting his Ph.D from Columbia University at age twenty-two. After returning to China, he started his own business and became a millionaire within three years. There’s no way you could be jealous of him!" Su Beibei huffed indignantly. "Third Brother is richer than you, handsomer too. If there’s any jealousy going on, it should be you who are envious of him."

"A mere million By the time I’m twenty-five years old, I’ll definitely have more than a measly little sum like that," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

“More than just a measly little sum” Su Beibei was indignant. "You can’t even afford to take a taxi, yet you still say a million is nothing"

"My wife says when she closes her eyes, she loses a million; when she opens them, she makes hundreds of millions," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

Su Beibei couldn’t help but stare. Even Su Junfeng had to take another look at Xia Tian — was this guy really acquainted with Qiao Xiaoqiao They all knew that Qiao Xiaoqiao indeed possessed such abilities, and hundreds of millions would pass through her hands effortlessly, either losing or gaining tens of millions in the blink of an eye.

"Hick, even if Qiao Xiaoqiao is really your wife, it’s still her money. You have nothing to do with it!" Su Beibei said disdainfully, as though she were mocking him. "Does this mean you want to live off a woman"

“Well actually, my wife belongs to me, and the money that's hers is naturally also mine,” Xia Tian responded confidently. “But Third Master told me men shouldn’t be takers, so I’ve decided to earn my own living.”

He added, "Once I get to Jianghai, I’ll quickly make some money."

"Humph, with your attitude you probably can’t even graduate from college. At most, you could become a day laborer earning two or three thousand per month," Su Beibei said contemptuously as she looked at Xia Tian.

"Actually, I never went to school." Xia Tian turned and looked at Su Beibei. "When I was three years old and went to kindergarten for the first time, I met a fairy sister on the way, and we fell in love at first sight, then ran away together."

"Pfft..." The beautiful lady was drinking mineral water when she heard this and spat out all the water, followed by a fit of coughing, "Cough...cough..."

"Cousin, are you okay" Su Beibei quickly patted the beautiful lady's back with concern.

"I'm fine, just choked." The beautiful lady shook her head and couldn't help but look at Xia Tian oddly. Who is this person Falling in love at first sight when they were three years old and running away

At that moment, the car suddenly jolted a few times, followed by two dull sounds. Su Junfeng, who was driving, changed his expression slightly, quickly slowed down the car, and after a short while stopped it on the side of the road.

"Junfeng, what's wrong" The beautiful lady asked immediately.

"It might be a flat tire. I'll take a look first." Su Junfeng got out of the car as he spoke.

Very soon, Su Junfeng started cursing: "Damn it, some bastard must have scattered nails on the road, puncturing both the left front and right rear tires!"

"Ah, is it that bad Then can't we drive anymore" Su Beibei exclaimed.

With two out of four wheels punctured and no spare tire available in the car, driving was indeed impossible. Su Junfeng looked around but didn’t see any other cars within sight; perhaps because of the extreme heat, few people chose to venture out at this time.

About a few hundred meters ahead, there was a two-story bungalow with big red characters painted on the wall facing them: Repair Tires!

"There's a place ahead that repairs tires. Let’s go take a look first." Su Junfeng got back into the car, and while there was still some air in the tire, driving a few hundred meters forward wouldn't be an issue.

"Someone spread nails on the road, and there happened to be a tire repair shop right ahead. How convenient!" Su Beibei said indignantly. "I reckon it must have been those people who did it deliberately."

It was quite normal for Su Beibei to suspect this, as similar incidents occurred in many places. However, such cases were difficult to find evidence for, so everyone could only consider themselves unlucky.

As they spoke, Su Junfeng had already driven the car to the entrance of a bungalow and honked the horn.

A bald young man quickly ran out, smiling broadly: "Boss, is your car broken"

"The tires were punctured by nails. Can you fix them" Su Junfeng asked.

"Of course we can!" The bald man turned and shouted inside, "Big Liu, Little Du, let's get started!"

Two young men with crew cuts came out carrying their tools and first circled the car to inspect it. Then they quickly removed the punctured tires, each taking one and running into the shop.

"Boss, Miss, why don't you come in for a rest We have air conditioning and cold water available for free," the bald man offered and opened the car door for Su Junfeng.

Su Junfeng turned to look at the beautiful woman behind him, obviously seeking her opinion.

"Let's go inside." The beauty opened the car door first and got out of the car.

Su Junfeng and Su Beibei followed suit as Xia Tian walked last. They all entered the bungalow with the bald man leading, entering a room that was indeed air-conditioned with a refrigerator in one corner, just as the bald man had said.

"Boss, Miss, please sit for a while!" The bald man warmly invited them and took out a bottle of frozen mineral water from the fridge for each person. Su Junfeng couldn't help but appreciate how good their service was indeed.

"How long will it take to fix" the beautiful woman asked.

"The fastest would be half an hour," the bald man replied. "However..."

"However, what" the beautiful woman frowned.

"Miss, I need you to pay me in advance for this tire repair," the bald man said with a smile still on his face.

Su Beibei immediately protested, "Hey, people usually pay after their car is fixed!"

"Miss, you don't understand. Normally, I would wait until the car is repaired to ask for payment, but my guys are really uncooperative. They refuse to work unless they get paid first. What should take half an hour can drag on to several hours," the bald man explained with a grin. "I'm sure you wouldn’t want to wait that long. It’s out of consideration for you that I have to ask for payment upfront."

"How can you be like this" Su Beibei was getting annoyed, "Aren't you threatening us"

“How much” the beautiful woman asked indifferently.

The bald man held up one finger.

"One hundred yuan" Su Beibei protested again. “Have I misunderstood I’ve heard tire repairs usually cost no more than twenty or thirty yuan."

“Miss, you misunderstand. It’s not one hundred yuan,” the bald man shook his head.

“Ten yuan then That sounds about right,” Su Beibei was finally satisfied. “That seems reasonable.”

"Miss, it's a thousand dollars." The bald man thought to himself, Who in the world is this idiotic girl Ten dollars isn't even enough to buy these few bottles of mineral water!

“What A thousand” Su Beibei jumped up and glared angrily at the bald man. "Why don’t you just rob us"

“Miss, robbery is illegal; we wouldn’t do anything against the law.” The bald man spoke calmly and wasn't surprised by Su Beibei's reaction; he had encountered this situation before.

"Beibei, stop talking." The beautiful woman opened her bag, took out a bundle of banknotes, and handed ten to the bald man. "Here’s a thousand dollars. Please hurry up, I'm in a rush."

The bald man accepted the money but didn’t leave: “Miss, you still owe us another thousand.”

“You guys are being too excessive!” Su Junfeng was also at his limit.

"Boss, one tire costs a thousand dollars. Two tires naturally cost two thousand. I may not be well-read like others, but this simple math problem, I can handle." The bald man spoke leisurely and unhurriedly.

The beautiful woman handed another ten bills to the bald man, placing them in his hand: "Here’s your money. If you manage to fix my tires within fifteen minutes, I’ll give you an additional two thousand."

“Thank you Miss.” The bald man was momentarily stunned; this woman's generosity exceeded what he expected. However, he quickly recovered and said with assurance, “Miss, please rest assured, we will definitely get your car back on the road as soon as possible!”

The bald man left swiftly but Su Beibei started complaining: "Cousin, these people are clearly taking advantage of our misfortune. Why did you give them so much money"

“I just want to get back to Jianghai as soon as possible; a few thousand dollars is nothing,” the beautiful woman said indifferently.

"I don't know why I've had such bad luck today, we usually have no trouble going back to Jianghai." Su Beibei pouted and then directed her dissatisfaction at Xia Tian: "You're just a disaster; you got in the car for a while, and it broke down!"

"Sis Goddess said I'm the biggest lucky star, and my wife also says meeting me is her greatest luck in life," Xia Tian clearly doesn't agree with Su Beibei's statement.

"You're crazy, a daydreamer, beyond help!" Su Beibei pouted.

"Any illness can be cured; being mentally ill is just a minor issue with the nervous system that can be fixed," Xia Tian shook his head and said.

"As if you were a godly doctor!" Su Beibei looked at Xia Tian with disdain.

"That's right, I am a godly doctor," Xia Tian nodded seriously as if he meant it.

"Won't you die if you don’t brag" Su Beibei said sourly.

Xia Tian looked innocent: "No wonder Master Chef told me that telling the truth nowadays is always met with disbelief."

Su Beibei glared angrily at Xia Tian before finally falling silent.

About ten minutes later, Baldy appeared in front of everyone again.

"Is it fixed" The pretty lady stood up.

"Yes, but Miss, what you just said…" Before Baldy could finish his sentence, the pretty lady threw a stack of bills into his hand. "Take them!"

“Thank you, Miss,” Baldy looked pleased.get back to Jianghai early. First, I'll go rescue my wife Chu Yao from detention, then we’ll find all those idiots who want to harm her and deal with them!" Xia Tian was actually very angry. He had th...
