Lin Yan decided to get some stuff for her grandfather at a nearby mall. Thus, she went to her grandfatherâs place with bulging bags.
Her grandfather, He Dingkun, was sitting in the living room with her mother.
âSister Yan, youâre here.â
Her cousin, He Lefeng, helped Lin Yan with her bags when he saw her.
âWhy are you here?â
Her older cousin, He Mingkai, shot a glance at Lin Yan and He Muyun. He snorted coldly and said, âThe elimination competition is tomorrow morning. Why are outsiders who know nothing about racing here today?â
âBrother Mingkai, donât put it that way...â He Lefeng frowned in response as he glanced at He Mingkai.
âWhy? How should I put it instead? Donât you know that someone has caused our family to end up in this state?â
âBrother Mingkai, you canât blame Aunt and Sister Yan. They donât want that to happen either. Besides, our car team wasnât good to begin with... Otherwise, we wouldnât have ended up in this state,â replied He Lefeng meekly.
Their oldest uncle, He Xiong, sneered coldly. âXiaofeng, youâre still a kid! What do you know? Mingkai is right! Besides, if it wasnât for the lack of investment, based on Mingkaiâs talent, he would have become one of the top racers in the country!â
âDad, donât bother talking to them. They donât know anything, especially the two of them. Theyâve made me lose my appetite,â He Mingkai scoffed.
âEnough!â
The old master, who had a deep frown on his face, looked displeased.
No one else dared to argue when he blew up.
âOh yeah, Grandfather, Dad... I have good news.â He Lefengâs lips curled into a smug smile.
âWhat kind of news do you have?â asked He Xiong.
âI got to know Pei Yutang, the boss of Storm, by chance. After a few discussions, he has finally agreed to watch our competition tomorrow. As long as we perform well, we might be able to get him to invest.â
âPei Yutang?â He Xiong paused before he replied, âI havenât heard of him.â
He Lefeng reeled off, âStorm is actually quite good, and their cars and equipment are top quality. However, they donât have good racers, so they canât improve their ranking. It doesnât matter, though. As long as Stormâs boss is willing to invest in us, it wonât be such a big deal even if we lose the competition.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI have heard of Storm.â The old master watched He Mingkai intently. âAre you sure their boss will be there to watch the race tomorrow? And he is interested in investing?â
âHa ha... Grandfather, donât worry. I am quite close to Stormâs boss. There wonât be any problems, I promise.â He Mingkai sounded confident.
âMingkai, I didnât think you would be able to invite the boss of Storm... Youâve worked hard during this period.â He Dingkun nodded at him in approval.
âMingkai, well done! Youâve made us proud!â He Xiong looked immensely pleased and satisfied. Then, he mocked Lin Yan and He Muyun loudly. âUnlike some people, who only bring harm to their family. They have done nothing to contribute to the family, yet they are even being thick-skinned.â
