Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 158 Gratitude and Reciprocation

Liu Hongan’s voice boomed like a bell: "I just scolded him for this. Xu Doctor, why did you run over to Hua Ji, are you buying a car too? Tell me what car you want, I’ll gift it to you."

Xu Xiangbei laughed: "How could I let Uncle Hong An spend money? Hua Ji’s car got smashed; he’s a victim too. I suggest giving him a way out, just return his deposit. What do you think, Uncle Hong An?"

Liu Hongan laughed heartily: "I wondered what the matter was; this is a trivial thing. I don’t want the car, just give me back the deposit, no need for him to pay double. Ning Yan said to ask you when you’re free to come over to our place for a meal."

Xu Xiangbei chuckled, picturing Liu Ningyan’s graceful figure, and couldn’t help but swallow: "Wait until the university aid activity ends in a couple of days, there are too many things lately."

"Alright, let’s settle on that first."

Liu Hongan’s voice was loud, Flower Chicken and Qian Duoduo held their breath beside him, listening clearly and seeing Xu Xiangbei chat so lively with Liu Hongan. They couldn’t help but show surprised expressions.

The happiest was Hua Ji, no need to pay double the deposit.

As soon as Xu Xiangbei hung up the phone, Hua Ji knelt down before Xu Xiangbei. Xu Xiangbei lightly lifted him by the shoulders, letting his feet leave the ground, held in mid-air like a big monkey, unable to move.

Hua Ji then realized Xu Xiangbei’s strength, feeling like a chick in Xu Xiangbei’s hands.

When Xu Xiangbei placed Hua Ji back on the ground, Hua Ji felt like he’d been released from giant iron pincers: "Thank you, Xu Doctor. I really don’t know how to repay you."

Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily: "No need to repay me, just fix up that Ferrari of yours and sell it to me. I quite like that car, just not sure how it feels to drive?"

Hua Ji’s eyes rolled, his expression complex, and he made a decision with gritted teeth: "Xu Doctor, you really did me a big favor today. If not for you, the cars worth millions in my shop would have been smashed. Although I’m not a righteous person, I understand gratitude. I guarantee the car will be fixed as perfect as new, but I can’t sell it to you."

Beside him, Qian Duoduo showed a face of disdain: "You’ve said so much, still reluctant to sell. Afraid Xu Doctor can’t afford it? Name the price, let’s hear it."

Xu Xiangbei wasn’t angry when Hua Ji said he wouldn’t sell. The matter he came to resolve was done, and it seemed this Porsche he liked was not meant for him.

As they prepared to leave, Hua Ji turned his small eyes and laughed: "I’m not selling the car, I’m giving it to you, Xu Doctor."

Qian Duoduo patted Hua Ji on the shoulder, nearly knocking him over. Qian Duoduo gave Hua Ji a thumbs-up, praising: "You’re a man, I’ll say this, don’t take offense. Despite your short stature and unsightly looks, wasting time on pointless things, you did right in this case. I respect you."

Hua Ji rolled his eyes, grumpily pushed Qian Duoduo away: "Are you praising or mocking me? It sounds more and more annoying."

Hearing Hua Ji wanted to gift the car, Xu Xiangbei was overjoyed inside but felt it was hard to accept on the surface. He chuckled and refused: "That’s a several hundred thousand car, I can’t take it."

"Consider it my apology, Xu Doctor. Come with me to the second floor."

A refrigerated truck stopped outside the repair shop. Two oddly-haired Shamate jumped out and shouted towards the repair shop: "Brother Hua Ji, the car is here."

"Just give the car back to that fat guy."

The recovered refrigerated truck made Qian Duoduo beam with pleasure. He hurriedly grabbed the keys from the punks and inspected his seafood in the rear compartment. Luckily, the fridge hadn’t been turned off, saving all the seafood.

Xu Xiangbei followed Hua Ji to the second floor of the repair shop, and Hua Ji rummaged through an iron cabinet at the back to find a portable hard drive.

Xu Xiangbei asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Hua Ji didn’t immediately answer but connected the hard drive to the computer and played an audio recording, a phone call record.

"Hua Ji, kill that Xu Xiangbei kid, make it look like a car accident. I’ll send you twenty thousand first, a hundred thousand more will follow once it’s done."

Hua Ji’s face was full of shame: "I originally intended to do it during the mountain road race, but you not only escaped, you won the championship. I’m truly sorry."

Xu Xiangbei raised an eyebrow, unconcerned, with a cheeky grin: "No problem, feel free to act anytime you wish, even now."

"No, no. Since I let you hear the recording, I’m telling you, I no longer have a thought of harming you. Besides, I can’t harm you; challenging you is like an egg against a rock."

Xu Xiangbei sat on the table, taking the cigar Hua Ji handed over: "Hua Ji, you really aren’t a good person, but you have a major virtue that I admire."

Seeing Xu Xiangbei praise him, Hua Ji was delighted and lit the cigar for him: "Oh, I have virtues worthy of Xu Doctor’s admiration? What are they?"

"You’re shrewd, knowing to keep a backup plan. Who’s the person wanting me dead?"

Hua Ji’s small eyes glistened: "His name is Gu Chengjun, if you don’t believe it, I also have records of him transferring the funds to me. Hehe, Xu Doctor was right, keeping all these in case something happens, as leverage for myself."

"Copy this audio for me, let me go home and listen to it repeatedly for amusement."

With a click of the mouse, Hua Ji handed a thumb-sized USB stick to Xu Xiangbei: "It’s all here, we’re clear now, I don’t owe you anything."

Xu Xiangbei was very pleased with Hua Ji’s Cuban cigars, stuffing several into his pocket. As he went downstairs, he asked: "When can my Porsche be fixed?"

Hua Ji smiled cunningly, knowing Xu Xiangbei finally accepted his gift. He replied readily: "Guaranteed to be done by tomorrow morning. Give me your address. I’ll deliver it tomorrow morning, saving Xu Doctor a trip. From now on, this car gets lifetime maintenance and repair, even parts replacement is free."

Xu Xiangbei noted down Hua Ji’s phone number from the repair shop and gave Hua Ji a thumbs-up, with a cheeky grin: "Don’t let your height fool you, you’re bold and generous in your actions, no wonder your repair shop is called Giant Repair Shop. No more small talk, I’m heading back with Qian Duoduo. I’ll send you my address via phone. Wishing you booming business and plenty of wealth."

With some customary pleasantries exchanged, Xu Xiangbei got on Qian Duoduo’s seafood truck and left Hua Ji’s repair shop.

Xu Xiangbei propped his feet on the dashboard, humming a tune, finally having his own car. In his mind was the silver Porsche, sleek lines, fiery wheels, cold, shining shell, mixing wildness with elegance and pride.
