Look, That Car Is Here to Pick Me Up

Blurb One:

One day, after work, Jiang Wan Feng goes to dinner with a friend. The restaurant is packed, so the two of them eat little ice cream cones by the roadside while waiting for a table.

She happens to notice a car pulling over. Jiang Wan Feng doesn't know much about cars, but she's always joking around like this with her coworkers at the office.

So she points at the black car and tells her friend, "Look, that car's here to pick me up."

Her friend: "..."

Her friend knows she's always saying ridiculous things like that and doesn't think much of it.

What she doesn't expect is for the passenger-side window to slowly roll down. A cheerful young man is in the driver's seat.

He taps his fingers on the steering wheel and stares right at Jiang Wan Feng before saying:

"Yeah, get in!"

After countless outrageous boasts, Jiang Wan Feng never expected this one to backfire! She grabs her friend's hand and runs.

Her friend teases her, "Well, wasn't he here to pick you up? Why didn't you get in?"

Once they reach a deserted corner, Jiang Wan Feng can no longer hold it in. Her face turns bright red.

Blurb Two:

Pei Jing thinks back to the day he first met Jiang Wan Feng.

It was when he had lost everything.

He had grown up relying on his mother, who was frail and often ill. The two of them lived in poverty.

He struggled to make it to college, barely getting by on scholarships.

But things soon took a turn for the worse. In his second year, his mother became seriously ill, and he sold their only home to pay for her surgery.

Sadly, his mother didn't make it through the operation. She died on the operating table.

That day, rain poured down as he wandered the streets like a living corpse, with no idea where he was going.

He had lost his only family, and he no longer had a home.

That was when Jiang Wan Feng appeared.

She was holding a yellow umbrella. When she saw him getting soaked, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then came over and held the umbrella above his head.

Jiang Wan Feng was much shorter than him, only reaching his chest. She had to stand on tiptoe to shelter his head.

Pei Jing simply looked at her.

Jiang Wan Feng didn't know what was wrong with him. Smiling, she pressed the umbrella into his cold hand, then took a donut out of her bag and placed it in his other hand.

"This is my favorite umbrella and my favorite donut. You can have them. It's raining so hard, so hurry home!"

Then she turned and ran into the rain.

At that moment, Pei Jing instinctively chased after her, but after only two steps, he saw her get into a car by the roadside.

Pei Jing recognized the make: a Mercedes-Maybach.

He froze mid-stride, not daring to approach.

Later, he got an opportunity to study abroad and packed everything, including the umbrella.

Then he left the country.

A poor boy's rise to become a tech mogul.
