Chapter 168: Chapter 158: Don’t Let Life Bend You Over
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry about getting your driver’s license at all."
After coming out of Yunda Driving School, Feng Biao started bragging:
"Now that you have signed up, by next Monday, you’ll have completed all the hours needed for Subject One. Then, we’ll go straight to the test and quickly move on to Subject Two."
"And didn’t Dacheng sign you up for the 1V1 VIP? We’ll just take three lessons, three hours each time, and you’ll have Subject Two in the bag."
"Once you pass Subject Two, we’ll take four lessons for Subject Three, and it will go smoothly." Feng Biao said while driving: "We’ll take the test for Subject Three in the morning and go for Subject Four in the afternoon."
"In no more than 33 days, you’re guaranteed to get your license. Once you pass Subject Four, let Dacheng buy you a car to drive on the splendid broad road of life!"
Xiao Meier, who was sitting in the back seat, listened in a daze. She looked at the vast number of questions in the driving school app that Chen Cheng had just helped her download and felt a bit overwhelmed.
"Xiao Cheng, is it really that simple to get a driving license?"
Chen Cheng, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and said with a smile: "Driving is all about practice making perfect. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself."
Xiao Meier sighed deeply, "I’m just afraid my memory will fail me with so much to remember."
"You can remember all the recipes for sweets and the flavors of dishes," Chen Cheng encouraged her, "These little tests are no big deal."
He looked at Xiao Meier’s hesitant expression, "If you don’t want to learn, we can turn back right now and say we won’t do it."
"Don’t, I’ve already paid the fee." Xiao Meier shook her head, "Let me try! I’m just afraid I’m too stupid to learn."
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "You are a smart Er-jie."
"Where am I smart?"
"Didn’t you end up with me?" Chen Cheng teased with a sly smile.
Feng Biao smacked his lips from the side, "Tsk tsk tsk, you two, must you really feed me dog food right now?"
Xiao Meier gave Chen Cheng a coquettish glare and looked down again at the dense question bank, "Even if I have to memorize by rote, I will pass!"
"Bullseye!" Feng Biao gave a thumbs up, "Sister-in-law, just learn with confidence and boldness, with me and Dacheng to protect and support you, there will definitely be no problem!"
The car soon arrived near Houhai, and under Chen Cheng’s directions, they quickly arrived at the new house of the two.
"Wait here, I’ll go down and open the garage door for you," Chen Cheng said.
Feng Biao leaned on the steering wheel, looking at the high gray tile wall in front of him, "Where is this?"
"Er-jie and my new house."
"I’m going, you did this in the blink of an eye, did a hen turn into a duck!"
Chen Cheng walked to the garage door and showed his face to the camera.
The tightly closed rolling shutter slowly opened, and he got back into the car, "Just drive down."
Feng Biao slowly steered the wheel and asked, "Are the deals you make now so big? You bought a courtyard house in Houhai? How long has it been?"
Chen Cheng smiled, "This is a gift Mr. Jin gave to Er-jie."
"What, what? Am I hearing this right?"
"Er-jie is now Mr. Jin’s goddaughter," Chen Cheng added.
Feng Biao’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Sister-in-law, this is..."
Xiao Meier smiled, "What is it? But don’t you dare call me an old hen!"
"An old hen? That’s completely turning from a sparrow on a branch to a phoenix!" Feng Biao exclaimed.
The car slowly drove into the basement garage, and Feng Biao’s eyes immediately widened even more.
On both sides of the garage entrance, the walls built with bluestone were carved with dragons and phoenixes, and instead of epoxy resin, the floor was made of shiny marble that glowed.
Driving further down, the surrounding light didn’t dim because it was a basement.
On the contrary, light from the courtyard above shone through the glass dome, illuminating the entire garage as if it were daylight.
Further inside, there was a dedicated rest area with comfortable massage chairs and a high-definition large-screen TV, and next to it was a small bar, though no drinks were stocked yet.
Feng Biao couldn’t help but marvel, "What kind of garage is this, it’s practically a luxury private club!"
He parked the car in the spot, "Sister-in-law, I’m so envious of your good fortune!"
Xiao Meier laughed lightly, "It’s all thanks to Xiao Cheng’s blessings."
"Why didn’t my mom give birth to me as a girl?" Feng Biao joked.
Chen Cheng asked, "What do you mean?"
"If I were a girl, I would be your little wife!"
"Get out, you want to be a little wife who weighs over two hundred pounds?" Chen Cheng jokingly scolded.
Xiao Meier was amused by their banter too. The three of them got out of the car, laughing and talking, and went to the elevator that leads into the Tianyuan in the middle.
When the door opened again, an even stronger antique aroma hit their faces.
As the center of the five courtyards, Tianyuan, was the largest and most luxurious.
Stepping into the courtyard, carefully carved bluestone paths were underfoot, and in front of them was an exquisite garden.
In the garden, exotic flowers and rare herbs competed in beauty, each one pruned and cared for with meticulous attention.
A crystal-clear stream meandered through, with koi swimming contentedly.
Beside the stream, there was a small and delicate pavilion, which Chen Cheng concluded after his private research, was made of golden phoebe wood.
Feng Biao swallowed hard, "I say, Dacheng. This place is almost on par with the Prince Gong Mansion! You enjoy life even more than Lord He!"
"That’s an exaggeration."
Chen Cheng led Feng Biao along the garden-side corridor into the guest room of the west wing.
"You two take a seat, I’ll go make some tea," Xiao Meier said.
"Thanks, Sister-in-law."
Chen Cheng and Feng Biao sat at the tea table, with Feng Biao taking out cigarettes and offering one to Chen Cheng, "Dacheng, how big is this house?"
Chen Cheng took the cigarette, "Mr. Jin said it’s over 3000, I haven’t actually measured it."
"Over 3000?" Feng Biao immediately reacted, "So this means, it’s more than one suite?"
