Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Took a Black Car
After speaking, Mrs. Cheng was afraid that the other party might think she wanted to take advantage, so she continued, "By the way, we won’t take advantage of you. Leave your address with us. Once we settle down in He County, I’ll mail the money back to you."
"Big sister, you’re overthinking. It’s just two tickets, only a few bucks, it doesn’t matter whether you return it or not." The man seemed indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Li was pleased, just as she thought she had met a good person, she heard the other party say, "By the way, big sister, are you going to He County?"
"Yes!" Mrs. Cheng nodded, not understanding why the other party asked this extra question.
"Big sister, here’s the thing, a friend of mine happens to be going to He County too, and he has his own car. Why don’t you skip the bus and take my friend’s car instead?"
"Is your friend really going to He County?" Mrs. Cheng was a bit skeptical and became wary of the middle-aged man again.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng’s guarded look, the man laughed and said, "Really, I’m not lying. I was thinking, if you take my friend’s car, you can save on the ticket, and use the money to buy some food on the way."
"In case you arrive in He County and can’t find someone immediately, it would come in handy, right?"
Mrs. Cheng thought it over and found the middle-aged man’s words reasonable. So, she turned to Cheng Li and asked, "Xiao Li, what do you think?"
Although Cheng Li was more educated than Mrs. Cheng and had read quite a bit, she was often impractical. After hearing the conversation between the middle-aged man and Mrs. Cheng, she decided to take the ride. After all, riding in a private car would be more comfortable than taking the bus.
So, she looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Where is your friend’s car, and can it fit the two of us, mother and daughter?"
"Look at the way you ask, little sister, of course, it can fit, otherwise I wouldn’t have mentioned it."
"As for my friend’s car, it’s that one over there." The middle-aged man nodded towards the roadside, and a black sedan and a somewhat handsome man appeared in Cheng Li’s sight.
The man seemed to feel Cheng Li’s gaze and waved at her.
Seeing the car and the driver, Cheng Li quickly made a decision, "Uncle, in that case, let’s take your friend’s car."
"Alright, let me go tell my friend." After speaking, the middle-aged man walked toward the car.
After exchanging a few words, the middle-aged man came back to the mother and daughter and said, "My friend agreed, and he’s about to leave, let me take you over."
"Sure, thank you, brother," Mrs. Cheng said happily, as she and Cheng Li walked toward the car.
When they reached the car, the middle-aged man introduced both parties, then entrusted the mother and daughter to his friend, gave them five bucks, and left.
Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Li happily got into the sedan, completely unaware of the smug look in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
After the middle-aged man left Cheng Li and her mother’s sight, he walked to a corner, went to a waiting big guy, and said, "Brother Liu, it’s done."
"Alright, well done!" The big guy called Brother Liu heard this, took out twenty bucks from his body and handed it directly to the middle-aged man.
"Thank you, Brother Liu!" The middle-aged man thanked him and left with a smile.
If Mrs. Cheng were here, she should have recognized that the man called Brother Liu was the one who brought her to South City.
