Chapter 560: A Replacement?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Huh? If this sports car belongs to Fu Zhi, where is your sports car?” Mela asked. After experiencing so many things, she couldn’t help but began to wonder about Fu Zhi’s identity.

Besides, it was uncommon to come across someone with the surname “Fu”.

Zheng Qu’s expression was dark as he replied, “I don’t know.”

He had never driven the sports car from the Fu Corporation and left it in the garage ever since he bought it. He only asked the butler to bring the vehicle out because he wanted to show off to the people around here.

However, the table had turned now.

Mela took a deep breath and commanded herself to stay calm. “Are you tired tonight? How can you even recognize your own sports car wrong?”

Zheng Qu licked his lips and replied, “Not really.. Maybe deep down inside me, I want this sports car to be mine as well.”

After all, who could resist a flashy and awesome-looking sports car?

Mela did not know what to say. She had a feeling that she had picked the wrong boyfriend.

However, Zheng Qu ignored her and said, “Well, you can’t blame us for behaving like this. After all, who could resist an amazing sports car such as this one? Of course we want to take some photos of it and show it off to our friends.”

The moment Zheng Qu had finished speaking, those young masters that were touching the sports car froze. They did not know why but they had a hunch that Zheng Qu was talking about them, and they felt embarrassed. They moved their hands away and stood back.

Wang Rao wedged himself through the crowd and said, Well, here’s your key. If you don’t have anything else for me to do, I’m going back first. However, remember that you’re a girl. Don’t be over-protective yourself. Give those sc*ms a chance. We don’t have that money to help you pay for all the trouble you cause anymore.”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say, and she felt even more embarrassed than Zheng Qu and the other young masters.

Everyone waited until Wang Rao had left before turning towards Fu Zhi and asked, “Ms. Fu, is this car from the Fu Corporation?”

“It doesn’t seem like the second-generation sports car to me.”

“I just searched the Fu Corporation’s Instagram, and it seems like this is the third-generation sports car!”

“No offense but can I know who Fu Zhao is to you? Or, is this car a gift from President Li? Because it doesn’t look like a knock-off to me.”

The way they talked to her had changed.

After all, the Fu Corporation had a lot of influence on the international platform. The people in their own country might not feel that much, but those from other countries that had a business relationship with the Fu Corporation could feel that the Chinese government was particularly lenient towards the Fu Corporation.

There was a saying that went around the foreign people. All of them felt that the Chinese government was the Fu Corporation’s biggest supporter.

This was because when the Fu Corporation first expanded their business globally, they had tried to take advantage of them, but all of them were ended up being warned by their own government. Their government told them that the higher-ups from China had talked to them and warned them not to mess with the Fu Corporation.

Therefore, nobody dared to give the Fu Corporation any trouble and the Fu Corporation had been developing at a rapid pace since then. They had invented plenty of black technologies over the year and very soon, they became a force to be reckoned with on the global market. Most of the time, it was them who made the price, name the price, and nobody had the guts to say no to them.

Mela looked at Fu Zhi in admiration.

“I don’t know who Fu Zhao is,” Fu Zhi replied as she threw the key into Li Nanli’s car. “Are we going to race or not?”

She was wearing a black dress tonight. She let her hair fell back around her shoulders in a wavy cascade. Her skin was fair, and the way she opened the door with an expressionless face was enough to send a bolt of heat down every man’s throat around her.

“Of course!” Zheng Qu shouted. He then turned to Zhuang Mo, who was still in a daze, and said, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get into your car!”

It was only then Zhuang Mo peeled his gaze from Fu Zhi. As he was walking back to his car, he asked his companion, “Don’t you think that girl looks familiar?”

“I know she’s pretty, but dude, she’s President Li’s girlfriend. There’s no way she’ll like you.”

“No, I mean...” Zhuang Mo frowned, “She looks really familiar to me, especially when she’s sitting in the car. I have a feeling that I’ve seen her somewhere before.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, suit yourself,” his companion replied half-heartedly.

Zhuang Mo was speechless at his companion and he said, “Forget about it. You guys won’t understand.”

Well, the truth was nobody wanted to understand him,

Very soon, Zhuang Mo’s sports car arrived not long after Fu Zhi got into her own car.

It came inside a truck as well, but the only thing different was that Zheng Qu’s sports car was much smaller and simpler than Fu Zhi’s sports car when the two sports cars parked side by side.

“Honestly, Young Master Zheng’s sports car is not bad at all, and without a doubt, it’s better than most of our sports cars, but I don’t know why it looks like a cheaply-priced sports car compares to Fu Zhi’s sports car...”

“Well, that can’t be helped. Fu Zhi’s sports car is the third generation, while Young Master’s sports car is the second generation. The Fu Corporation has been renewing its technologies every year, so I guess that’s the reason.”

“Young Master Zheng’s sports car is even lousier than President Li’s girlfriend’s sports car...”

“The Zheng Family is a small family and it’s just a branch of the Huo Family. Of course it cannot be compared to the Li Family...”

Zheng Qu pressed his lips thin. If he had known about this earlier, he wouldn’t have picked the Fu Corporation’s second-generation sports car.

Zheng Qu couldn’t help but wonder why Fu Zhi would bring up a sports car that he couldn’t even afford to buy? Was it Li Nanli who specially asked her to bring it up to flaunt the Li Corporation’s financial power in front of everyone, or was it that Fu Zhi had some relation to the Fu Corporation and Li Nanli was going to marry her to bring the Fu Corporation to his side?

However, he had never heard of anything about Fu Zhi before. Since Zheng Qu couldn’t think it through, he decided not to think about it anymore. He took a few pink-colored handcuffs from the car.

Li Nanli saw it and he raised his brows, “What’re you up to again?”

“Nothing. I just feel that since we’re all here, we should make it more fun,” Zheng Qu said as he threw the handcuff on Li Nanli’s car. Then, he distributed the rest of the handcuffs to the other young masters and continued, “So here’s the thing. All of us are going to cuff our right hand to our female companion’s left hand, and whoever could finish running the track on Mount Qiu Ling first win the match. What do you guys think?”

“Are you sure about that, Young Master Zheng?” Someone asked, “The track on Moun Qiu Ling is one of the most dangerous racing tracks in the world and now you want us to cuff our hand to our female companions? Under the situation where there isn’t any medical team to back us up, don’t you think it’s a little bit too risky?”

“Nope,” Zhuang Mo chimed in, “As long as your partner doesn’t scream and shout like crazy, it’s not a difficult task to complete the entire track.

“And as a professional racer who has never lost a match before, I can tell you that the probability of falling off the cliff is very low.”

Fu Zhi glanced at Zhuang Mo.

Gu Yanqi thought for a while and shook his head, “No, it’s still too dangerous. Who can guarantee that the female companion next to you at high speed will be fearless and will not freak out?”

Zhuang Mo scoffed coldly, “Then, it depends on the driver’s response, so what do you guys think? Are you guys up for the challenge? Or you guys are going to quit now?”

“Zhuang Mo,” Zheng Qu stepped forward, “President Li is a man of his words. Since he already said he’s going to participate in the race, he won’t go back on his words. Don’t care about Young Master Gu. He doesn’t have any say in this.”

Zhuang Mo did not say anything anymore.

It was quite a windy night.

Holding the cuff in his hand, Li Nanli lifted his brows and said, “Let’s do it, then.”

As he was talking, he had already opened up the door to the driver’s seat. Then, he went into the car and closed the door, leaving Gu Yanqi standing bewildered outside the car.

When he was inside the car, he put the cuff on his hand and looked at Fu Zhi. “They want us to cuff our hands together throughout the entire race. I already told them that you don’t like it, but they refuse to listen to me...”

Fu Zhi lowered her head and noticed there was a pink handcuff on his wrist before lifting her head up again. There was an indifferent expression on his face and it seemed to her that he was forced to put on the cuff as well.

Outside the window, a young master that acted as the referee knocked on the window and shook his arm as if he was telling Fu Zhi to follow the rules.

Fu Zhi then took over the handcuff and put it on her wrist under Li Nanli’s intense gaze.

Unlike Li Nanli, her wrist was even thinner and her skin was fair.

The young master outside the window was still trying to crane his neck and looked into the car. Li Nanli pulled the blazer on Fu Zhi to cover her hand before rolling the window down a little bit and snapped at the young man. “Get lost.”

The young master was speechless.

Perhaps everyone was affected by the atmosphere, after the referee said something, there were people kissing inside and outside of the car.

Li Nanli turned his head sideways and looked at the pair of man and woman that was engrossed in their own world.

Fu Zhi looked in the direction of his gaze, and when she saw him sighing, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Nanli opened his mouth and said, “Don’t you think...”

“Yeah?”

“Their behavior may help to win the race?” Li Nanli continued as he looked intently at Fu Zhi, “Can you understand what I’m talking about?”

“Yes. I understand,” she said, “You’re too superstitious. People always said that we should transcend the phenomena to see the essence of things. Judging from that, it seems to me that the reason behind your superstitious is your lack of confidence in your driving skills. I suggest you go read more books about driving to improve your self-confidence so that you can break yourself free from the chain of superstitions.”

Li Nanli did not know what he should comment on that.

No man could stand it when someone questioned their driving skill.

Therefore, when Fu Zhi offered to drive, his face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot.

He leaned forward to help her put on the seatbelt. Then, as the referee shouted “Ready”, he put his hand on the steering wheel.

As the gunshot rang through the sky, the purple sports car darted forward like an arrow released from its bowstring, stunning Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhao had once told her that there were three elements to observe in boys: watches, shoes, and sports cars.

The more expensive and the faster the sports car they drive, the more handsome the person was.

Li Nanli was no different from Fu Zhi when it came to racing. Both of them were bold and risk-takers.

Fu Zhi had driven on Moun Qiu Ling before, but this was Li Nanli’s first run. However, he was even faster than Fu Zhi and he soon gave the other sports cars a run for their money.

He was operating the sports car with one hand, and when he was turning a big curve, the huge force made Fu Zhi’s body lean forward a bit. He held her hand and observed her face through the corner of his eyes. After he was halfway through the curve, he asked, “How do you feel? Do you need me to slow down a little bit?”

“It’s fine,” Fu Zhi replied. However, the feeling of driving by herself was different from sitting in the passenger seat. She would not feel uncomfortable and get motion sickness when she was driving.

That said, there was a probability that Zheng Qu and his group might overtake them if they slowed down right now, so she shifted herself into a more comfortable position and continued, “You don’t have to care about me. Just drive as fast as you can.”

“Roger that,” Li Nanli replied with a smile in his eyes.

He suddenly felt that Zheng Qu was the most insightful amongst the Zhengs. He liked the activities that Zheng Qu had prepared for tonight.

Initially, Li Nanli was going to slow down a little bit so that Fu Zhi could enjoy the sight. However, when he thought of their conversation earlier on, a bolt of heat began to run amuck inside of him once again. He was worried that he might really turn into a monster if he did not end this as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, Li Nanli let out a sigh and stepped on the gas pedal.

Just when he was going to say something, his phone rang.

It was a video call from his mother.

She wanted to talk to him about the Zheng Family.

As soon as Li Nanli answered the call, the first thing that Huo Ningxin saw was the pink-colored handcuff. She could not see Fu Zhi’s face clearly because it was dark in the video.

She surmised that Fu Zhi was still in the school right now, so who the woman in the passenger seat was?

Just when she fell into thought, something incredible popped into her mind and she bristled into a rage.

“LI Nanli!” She shouted at the top of her lungs, “You b*stard! How could you keep a replacement who looks exactly like Fu Zhi behind her back?!”
