CHAPTER 864: CHAPTER 868: BORN A REBEL (18)

Yu Xiang slumped in the seat with a face like ashes, tears beyond reach.

There was only one thought in his mind: It’s over.

But Su Li was quite happy. Although it was her first time racing, she had driven faster things like a flying sword, magic artifacts, and mechas.

Were these things really harder than a little sports car?

Piece of cake~

But Yu Xiang didn’t know that.

As they approached the next bend, the three sports cars behind them caught up. It seemed they were planning something big under Zhang Hongwen’s lead.

Zhang Hongwen pushed the speed of his car to the limit. Yu Xiang’s eyes widened as he saw Zhang Hongwen’s car trying to cut them off again.

In this situation, there was no way their car could avoid it; every escape route behind was blocked.

No matter how they drove, the outcome would be the same: either they’d crash off the cliff themselves or be knocked out by Zhang Hongwen’s car.

"Turn the wheel all the way to the right, let’s all go down together." Yu Xiang roared in anger.

Su Li glanced at him calmly and said, "Quiet."

Su Li’s calm words seemed to possess magic, gradually calming Yu Xiang’s agitated and angry heart. He turned his head to look at Su Li’s slightly smiling face, fell silent without a word, and quietly sat in his seat, closing his eyes.

He felt the vibration of Zhang Hongwen’s car head hitting the side of the car, the next second feeling the trembling sensation of the car airborne.

Their car must’ve flown out.

But soon, a jolt of the car body and a solid landing sensation made him open his eyes sharply.

At this moment, they had passed the bend, drifting past all the cars, leaving them behind.

The "boom" of collisions was unending.

Yu Xiang turned his head in shock to look behind the car, where flames shot high, dispersing the thick night on the mountain a little.

Two sports cars collided together, and apart from the parts scattered on the ground, two others were nowhere to be seen.

The guardrail by the bend had been knocked with a huge gap, the fate of those two cars was self-evident.

Among the cars that went over the cliff was Zhang Hongwen’s.

Yu Xiang was the first to call the police, and by the time Su Li drove down to the foot of the mountain, the only access road at the foot was blocked, and the traffic police and an ambulance had arrived.

Su Li didn’t pay attention to the developments that followed and left everything for Yu Xiang to handle.

By the time she got home, the takeout left at her door by the delivery guy had already cooled, and wasn’t good anymore.

The direct effect of this event was that Su Li gained her second follower fanboy.

Not something she particularly wanted.

----------------

"Sis, let me carry the bag for you today." Yu Xiang labored to push past Lan Chengying, getting up to Su Li’s shadow.

Lan Chengying felt his number one follower position was threatened, and chided unhappily, "What bag are you carrying? That’s my job, what makes you think you’re entitled?"

Yu Xiang said painfully, "Chengying, are we still good brothers?"

Lan Chengying replied swiftly, "No."

The ship of friendship capsized just like that.

Yu Xiang contentedly responded, "Good, now I don’t have to feel guilty."

"What?"

Yu Xiang leaned in front of Su Li again, pointing to his curly hair, Ten Thousand Buddha Earrings, and traditional costume.

"Sis, look at me, look at me, our outfits are so well-coordinated."

"What the hell." Lan Chengying exclaimed in shock, "Wow, I hadn’t realized you were so shameless and insidious, Yu Xiang."

Upon closer look, Yu Xiang even had his makeup done. The style was infinitely close to Su Li’s unique appearance.

Lan Chengying: "You... despicable..."

Yu Xiang was quite proud, "Sis, let me carry the bag for you, we actually look like a team."

Su Li squinted: "Do you know the Poincaré Conjecture? Have you heard of the Riemann Hypothesis? Do you know how long a proton’s lifespan is?"

"Uh...."

Two pairs of perplexed eyes appeared in front of Su Li.

Lan Chengying/Yu Xiang: "...."

They suddenly doubted their intelligence.

Lan Chengying quietly minimized his presence.

And Yu Xiang tentatively asked softly, "Proton? Does proton mean hostage? Why do I need to know the lifespan of a hostage?"

Su Li: "...." It’s okay to be foolish, but to expose your ignorance while being foolish, what can she even say to that?

Su Li smiled coldly and mercilessly: "I don’t make friends with idiots."

Lan Chengying’s heart tightened too, and he was resolved to go back later and expand his knowledge.

Nowadays, even being a small follower is extremely difficult.

When Yu Xiang went back, full of doubt about life, to look up the issues Su Li mentioned, he’d doubt life even more.

He just wanted to be an accessory to a bigwig, why did he also need to understand math and physics?

It’s practically driving him to desperation.

Following this, people from the Lan Family and the Yu Family would discover with horror that their sons, who had never engaged in serious academics before, were bringing home piles of test papers and books, preparing to study hard. It was truly terrifying.

But that’s a tale for later.

After coaxing Yu Xiang away, Su Li and Lan Chengying headed to the school together.

Meanwhile, at the school, Cheng Xinxin was anxiously calling home.

She had accidentally discovered a post about her on the forum.

It recounted the incident on the day when she had a conflict with the young master of the Lan Family, which someone had posted on the forum.

However, she hadn’t even had time to get angry before being attracted by the information about another girl in the post.

Looking at the girl’s getup standing next to Mr. Lan that day, she sure seemed like trouble, very pretty and seductive.

At that time, she didn’t even know the other girl’s name, but with the replies under the post, she could quickly find out what she wanted to know.

The girl’s name was also Su Li.

At this point, Cheng Xinxin still hadn’t connected the person to her half-sister.

Her mother had often said that her sister, who was left in the old home, was unlearned, with grades so awful that she couldn’t even get into a good university, so how could she appear in Hua University?

However, someone in the post revealed that this Su Li’s academic records were also transferred from a small county under Su City.

Though there could be many people with the same name nationwide, there wouldn’t be many people in that small county whose circumstances overlapped in various aspects.

Recalling how the girl’s face seemed familiar to her, Cheng Xinxin’s brows furrowed, a lightbulb moment flashing in her head.

Wasn’t that feeling of familiarity due to her resemblance to her own mother’s looks?

It was just that slight resemblance was heavily overshadowed by makeup, coupled with the other’s meticulously beautiful appearance, which very soon made one overlook the slight resemblance.

Cheng Xinxin felt extremely uneasy and soon called Su Ying.

By the time Su Li appeared on campus, the entire Cheng family had also shown up, not missing a single member.
