Fei Bai took a look at it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He assumed it was either someone trying to borrow money from him or someone asking if he needed to attend a training session. Otherwise, it might be a brand-new casino opening and giving away cash or a stunning dealer dealing cards online.
He ignored the call and continued eating. After a few bites, his phone started buzzing again.
These con artists are very tenacious.
Fei Bai swallowed the broccoli in his mouth and impatiently answered the call, “Hello, who is this?”
“Do you still remember me?”
A young man’s carefree voice could be heard.
Fei Bai detested con artists who made you guess who they were over the phone. He smiled slightly and said, “Of course I remember. Aren’t you Ivan Ivanovich Ivanovski?”
Luo Chengcheng was a bit confused. “Who’s Ivan? Oh right, I’m the driver who you crashed into last time.”
Fei Bai was taken aback. The voice did sound a lot like that of a car owner with a malfunctioning brain. He awkwardly cleared his throat and said, “I’m sorry, sir. I thought you were a scammer.”
As he spoke, he gestured for Qiao Li to get up and walk towards the window.
Qiao Li understood Fei Bai’s intention and knew he didn’t want his grandmother to hear the conversation. So he immediately started chatting with Fei Bai’s grandmother, blabbering on about random things. “Grandma, are you feeling lonely at home? I heard Fei Bai say that you miss me.”
Fei Bai thought that Luo Chengcheng suddenly remembered to claim compensation from him after such a long time. He was relieved that he hadn’t spent the salary advance he received from Luo Yusen. He straightforwardly asked, “May I ask how much you think is appropriate?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Luo Chengcheng had long forgotten about Fei Bai’s promise to compensate him. He was surprised when Fei Bai mentioned money and thought that he had already guessed his intention. So he stated a large amount and quickly added, “If you’re not satisfied, I can add more.”

Eating and drinking? Does the car owner mean that, besides compensating for the damages, he also has to treat him to a meal? And “there won’t be anything else.” Aren’t these things already enough? This apology and compensation are too comprehensive. It’s like a one-stop service.
But after all, he was the victim, so he couldn’t directly say that the car owner had too many problems. So he tactfully said, “How about you include the cost of the meal and drinks as well? I’ll transfer the money directly to you, so it’s convenient for both of us.”
“You, transfer the money to me?” Luo Chengcheng finally realized that he and Fei Bai seemed to be on different wavelengths in their communication. “You may have misunderstood me, Fei Bai. I wanted to ask for your help.”
Then he explained the accompanying drinking matter to Fei Bai in detail, without avoiding the fact that the CEO had a certain sexual orientation. He also promised to protect him if anything happened.
Fei Bai finally understood and exclaimed, “So the money is for me?”
“Yes, it’s for you,” Luo Chengcheng said. “Are you willing? If you’re not, then forget it. I won’t force you.”
“I’m willing, I’m willing,” Fei Bai said. “Just let me know the time and place, and send it to me.”
Joking aside, who wouldn’t be willing to earn so much money just by having a meal?
He hung up the phone and returned to the table, suddenly feeling like he might be the illegitimate child of the God of Wealth, reunited after many years.
“Feifei, who called you just now? You look so happy. Was it Xiaoxu?” Grandma asked.
Qiao Li cleared his throat and asked Fei Bai with his eyes, “You haven’t told your grandma yet?”
Fei Bai calmly shook his head, then said to his grandma, “It wasn’t him. It was someone selling financial products.”
Grandma said, “What’s there to be happy about?”
Fei Bai started to make up a story. “Oh, he told me that their investment product has a high return rate. I asked why he doesn’t buy it himself if it’s so high, and he said he doesn’t have the money. So I jokingly said that I provide small loans with lower interest rates than their return rate, and he can still make some money. Then he hung up the phone, and I found it quite funny.”
After finishing their meal, Fei Bai and Qiao Li accompanied their grandmother to chat for a while. Suddenly, their grandmother ran back to the room and brought out a skirt, gesturing with it on her body. She asked them, “How does this dress look? I’m going to wear it to the park with someone this afternoon.”
“Someone?” Fei Bai keenly sensed a hint of shyness when his grandmother mentioned this word.
“It’s the old man I told you about last time, the one who said I looked like a little swan,” Grandma said.
Fei Bai casually glanced at the skirt, and to be honest, he thought all the clothes worn by old ladies were similar. “It’s alright,” he said.
Grandma touched the floral pattern on the skirt and said, “I used to wear this when I was a little girl.”
Fei Bai almost laughed out loud, but Qiao Li pinched him and then flattered their grandmother, “No matter what you wear, you always look beautiful, just like a little girl.”
Fei Bai made a disgusted expression on the side. As expected, his grandmother slapped him on the head.
After leaving her grandmother’s home, Qiao Li asks Fei Bai.
“Are you planning to keep it a secret forever? Aren’t you afraid that one day your grandmother will see Xu Geyang on the street and go over to pull him and call him ‘Xiao Xu’?”
“It’s better than her seeing Xu Geyang on the street and going over to beat him up,” Fei Bai said gloomily.
Qiao Li didn’t say anything for a while and then spoke again: “Are you afraid that your grandmother will feel that all the sacrifices she made for you and Xu Geyang were in vain? After all, she cut off ties with your dad because of you two. In the end, you guys broke up, and it ended so badly.”
Fei Bai lowered his head and kicked away a mineral water bottle on the road, softly saying, “I feel like I’ve let her down the most.”
Qiao Li patted his back. “Actually, I think your grandmother will feel sad after finding out, but her sadness is because she cares about you, not because she regrets what she did for you. Do you understand what I mean?”
Fei Bai replied gloomy, “I understand, but that just makes me feel even more guilty.”
Qiao Li sighed, “Then let’s not talk about it for now. Find someone who is a hundred times better than Xu Geyang and bring them home for your grandmother to see, then you can tell her that you dumped Xu Geyang.”
After a pause, he asked, “By the way, who called you just now? Something about a tractor engine, Tchaikovsky?”
