Cutting In and Crashing – Is This Your Driving School Instructor? 67

Chapter 67: Will You Be Singing the License Plate Song Now?

“Oh.”

The actress, having had a bit too much to drink, was slightly flushed. Although the underground parking garage was dimly lit, Xia Xiangsi’s fair skin was impossible to miss. The lights illuminated her delicate face, making her look like a tempting, ripe red apple.

“…You have violent tendencies, don’t you?” Mengmeng couldn’t help but scold Gu Yin. “You hit someone without thinking. Is it because it’s not your head, so you don’t know what pain is?”

“If I had violent tendencies, you’d be in the underworld right now,” Gu Yin rolled his eyes.

“You!” Mengmeng gritted her teeth in anger.

While they were talking, Gu Yin had already gotten out of the car. His phone was dead and turned off. Sometimes he wondered if this crappy phone was secretly working against him. Damn it, it shut down right after he finished paying, why didn’t it shut down a little earlier?

“What are you doing?” Xia Xiangsi noticed that after getting out of the car, Gu Yin was circling the Audi A6, lingering a bit longer at the front windshield, as if searching for something.

“Aren’t we supposed to call the police?” she asked.

In this kind of situation, it seemed like the only option was to call the police, right?

“Don’t rush,” Gu Yin waved his hand, pointing to the Audi. “Let’s first see if there’s a phone number on the car. It’s best if we can call the owner to move the car.”

Whether it was calling the police or the traffic police, whether they would respond was one thing, but it would take time for them to arrive and then contact the owner. It would definitely take at least two or three hours; contacting the owner directly would be the best solution, getting them to move the car and saving everyone trouble.

Gu Yin wasn’t afraid of trouble, but his mother wasn’t feeling well these days, and he had to send Xia Xiangsi home and then go home to make medicine. The sooner he could get home, the better.

Although Gu Yin always habitually assumed the worst in people, perhaps the Audi A6 driver had an emergency, couldn’t find a parking space, and just parked temporarily, intending to move the car immediately after receiving a call?

We’re all drivers on the road; let’s all just be considerate to each other!

“Hey, isn’t this a phone number?” Mengmeng found a small black tripod on the passenger side of the Audi A6’s front windshield, with a string of numbers written across it—it looked like a phone number.

“Not bad,” Gu Yin gave Mengmeng a thumbs-up. “Your eyes are really sharp.”

“…I feel like you’re insulting me.” She felt like Gu Yin meant to say, “It’s only because you have sharp eyes.”

“Take away the feeling part,” Gu Yin waved his hand. “My phone’s dead, charging, not yet turned on. Who’s going to make the call?”

“Of course I’ll make the call, who else?” Mengmeng rolled her eyes…

They couldn’t possibly have Xia Xiangsi, a female star, call the person to ask them to move the car, right?

While saying this, she dialed the number left on the car.

【Tsk, a bit boring…】

Seeing how smoothly things seemed to be going on their end, quite a few viewers watching the “Reconciling with Life” live stream started to find it boring.

They thought it would be like the previous incidents—the aggressive cut-in driver, the Kartelai parked in the middle of the road in front of the elementary school—some truly confrontational drama.

No conflict, no gossip to eat, not interesting…

The number of viewers in the live stream began to drop.

“嘟嘟…”

On Gu Yin’s side, Mengmeng put the call on speakerphone. With a series of rings, the phone was quickly answered.

“Hello, who is this?”

A man answered the phone, his voice a bit rough and hoarse, sounding like he was fairly old and a heavy smoker.

“Hello, are you the owner of this…Audi A6 with the license plate Lu Q*****?” Mengmeng asked directly.

As she asked, Gu Yin finally noticed the car’s license plate number…

“Lu Q…” Gu Yin grinned. “No wonder.”

“Why are you smirking?”

Xia Xiangsi was clearly curious. She wondered where the Lu Q license plates were from.

It wasn’t Jinan (Jinan’s plates are Lu A), Lu Q…

Xia Xiangsi started singing: “Lu A Jinan cars… Lu B Qingdao… Lu C Zibo, Lu D Zaoyang, Dongying is Lu E…”

After singing for a while, she suddenly realized: “Oh, Yishui!” (A county in Shandong Province)

“…Shut up!” Gu Yin said, feeling embarrassed for the people of Shandong province. This broken song, you’re a local celebrity and you’re singing this? Aren’t you ashamed?

The Shandong dialect itself already affects someone’s image. Xia Xiangsi, a beauty who shines wherever she goes, could instantly become a typical country girl from Shandong when she uses the dialect.

Outsiders might not mind the joke, but locals know how rustic the dialect is and are more sensitive to it.

“Um… is there a problem with that person?” Xia Xiangsi was clearly drunk, singing and rambling nonsense.

“There’s no problem with that person! There’s no problem with Shandong people, don’t spread rumors and slander us!” Gu Yin twitched his mouth. Although he barely had any viewers for his show, if this spread, he would easily be scolded.

“Then why were you smirking just now?” Xia Xiangsi scratched her head.

Gu Yin sighed helplessly, “Drivers there are generally more conservative. One year I went to visit relatives with my mother, you wouldn’t believe how disgustingly those people drove…”

“Ah, I remember you posted something about that on your WeChat Moments…” Xia Xiangsi was definitely drunk tonight, talking a lot. “You said that all the drivers from there should go to Jing Shi Road for some training, right?”

“What? You’ve been snooping on my WeChat Moments?” Gu Yin was surprised.

“No… I haven’t!” Xia Xiangsi avoided his gaze.

“But that was probably around this time last year…” Gu Yin looked suspicious.

“I, I definitely didn’t!” Xia Xiangsi simply started playing dumb.

The two were chattering away, their voices loud, but still not louder than Mengmeng’s complaints to the Audi A6 owner next door.

“How did you park your car? Do you know you parked in front of us? No one parks like that! Is this even acceptable?”

Mengmeng, Xia Xiangsi’s assistant, was a nagging type, a real chatterbox. Usually she couldn’t vent her frustrations at Gu Yin, and after being scolded by Gu Yin earlier, she now vented all her anger at the Audi A6 owner.

Gu Yin frowned. People generally cared about face. Honestly, he thought that if he were the Audi owner, even if he was in the wrong, being scolded like this would easily make him just give up.

However, he didn’t stop Mengmeng, feeling that if it were him, he would have cursed even worse, insulting the whole family, and he’d be more vicious than Mengmeng.

“Mengmeng.” Xia Xiangsi frowned and called out. “Be polite.”

“I should be polite to him?” Mengmeng thought, I’m already holding back so much by being polite to Gu Yin, and I have to be polite to some stranger who blocked our car? That’s too much to ask!

“He blocked our car!” Mengmeng shouted.

On the other hand, the Audi owner on the phone was still relatively polite…
