The crowd was instantly in an uproar. This is what it means to be extravagant!

At that moment, the Maserati piled high with fresh flowers seemed like a child's toy compared to this limited-edition Ferrari.

Zhu Zhihua's face had turned a deep liver color. He couldn't understand how this good-for-nothing could afford such a prestigious car.

Moreover, this good-for-nothing was being too generous. Probably, there were very few men in the world who would be willing to give a woman such an expensive sports car all at once.

"Thank you." Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment but still took the key.

"Give me a kiss!"

"Give me a kiss!"

The onlookers began to cheer in unison, and the atmosphere was immediately heightened.

Jiang Yan clenched her hand tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white. She was afraid that Lin Yu would really do it. She wanted to refuse, but as his wife, he had the right to do so.

"You guys are dreaming. With such a beautiful wife, I'll have to kiss her in private at home!"

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yu was completely unaffected by the crowd's cheering and smiled as he held Jiang Yan's hand.

This time, Jiang Yan did not avoid him. She looked up at Lin Yu, and a faint sense of gratitude welled up inside her.

"She is my wife, He Jia Rong. We are very much in love. Although she is as beautiful as a fairy, you all have no chance!" Lin Yu said with a high-pitched voice, and for a moment, it seemed like he even believed it himself.

"Especially certain syphilis patients, don't even dream about it." Lin Yu shot a cold glance at Zhu Zhihua.

Zhu Zhihua's face changed instantly, and he shouted angrily, "Who are you calling a syphilis patient!"

"You, you were cured of syphilis just a week ago, and now you're out here flirting with women. Do you have any shame?" Lin Yu said calmly.

"You're talking nonsense! I've never had syphilis!" Zhu Zhihua's face turned red with anger. He used his anger to cover up his guilt, because what Lin Yu said was true. He had indeed had syphilis and had only been cured a week ago.

"Then roll up your sleeves and pants for everyone to see. The hard scars left by the rash from syphilis should still be there. If I'm right, you apologize to my wife and get lost. If not, you can do whatever you want. How about that?" Lin Yu said confidently.

"You're a lunatic, spouting nonsense!"

As Zhu Zhihua cursed, he backed away, a hint of fear and even terror appearing on his face. How could he know about such a secret?

"He Jia Rong, you wait and see, I won't let you off!"

After backing up to the Maserati, Zhu Zhihua made a threat and then drove away in a hurry.

"Get lost! A scoundrel like you will end up with AIDS eventually!"

"Exactly, what's the point of showing off with a broken car!"

The onlookers cursed Zhu Zhihua as he drove away. The luxury car they had praised earlier was now called a broken car.

There was no way around it; the limited-edition Ferrari was just too dazzling.

The crowd kept taking pictures of the Ferrari, and Lin Yu was generous enough not to stop them.

After taking enough pictures, the crowd reluctantly left.

Once the crowd dispersed, Lin Yu smiled at Jiang Yan and said, "Want to take a drive to the beach?"

This was the first time in his life that he owned or even saw such a prestigious sports car, and as a man, he was naturally excited.

To his surprise, Jiang Yan shoved the key into his hand and said coldly, "The act is over. Hurry up and return the car."

Then she turned and walked towards the clinic.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lin Yu was confused.

Jiang Yan stopped, turned, and gave him a disdainful look. "What do you mean? Are you addicted to acting? Even if you're upset seeing someone give me a car, you don't have to rent one to show off, right? It's not your car, don't you feel guilty? Have you considered that if you damage such an expensive car, can you afford to pay for it?"

"..." Jiang Yan's rapid-fire questions left Lin Yu speechless.

"You can be vain, but I hope it's based on your own capabilities!"

Jiang Yan coldly said this and then turned and entered the clinic without another word.

Lin Yu was speechless and couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He wanted to tell Jiang Yan that the car was indeed his, but considering He Jia Rong's usual behavior, it sounded like a fairy tale.

After some thought, Lin Yu decided not to tell her the truth for now. However, he was at a loss about what to do with the car. He couldn't drive it home, so where could he put it?

Lin Yu and his mother lived in an old, open residential area with no parking spaces. The cars in the neighborhood were parked under the buildings, mostly domestic brands like Geely and Changan, and they didn't mind the wind and rain.

If he left the car there, it would be too much of a waste.

After some thought, Lin Yu decided to seek help from his college classmate.

In their dorm, there was a rich second-generation named Shen Yuxuan whose family was in the jewelry business. He was a very nice person and often treated the dorm mates to meals. He was a typical sports car enthusiast with over ten sports cars in his garage. Lin Yu felt safe leaving his car with him.

Finding Shen Yuxuan's WeChat in the old class group, Lin Yu added him as He Jia Rong, saying he was Lin Yu's friend and had a sports car he wanted him to check out and test the performance.

Hearing that Lin Yu was a friend, Shen Yuxuan immediately agreed without a second thought and arranged to meet him on the seaside road in the suburbs, where the road was wide and there were few people, perfect for a test drive.

"I'll put the food here. I'm going to return the car."

Lin Yu informed Jiang Yan and then drove off in his Ferrari.

Lin Yu had obtained his driver's license in college but hadn't driven much because his family didn't have a car.

He never imagined that his first car would be such a super sports car. After studying it for a while, he barely figured it out and didn't dare to drive fast, slowly cruising towards the seaside road.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road all turned to look, and people kept taking pictures. This made Lin Yu even more nervous, and he drove even slower.

Finally, a pedestrian who had overtaken him several times exploded, giving him the middle finger and shouting, "Show-off!"

When Lin Yu arrived at the seaside road, Shen Yuxuan had already smoked half a pack of cigarettes, somewhat dissatisfied. But when he saw Lin Yu's car, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Nice, buddy, you can get a car like this, impressive."

After Lin Yu got out of the car, Shen Yuxuan didn't even greet him, circling the car three times.

Lin Yu handed him the key and smiled, "Want to take it for a spin?"

Shen Yuxuan was slightly taken aback, and his good impression of Lin Yu soared. To be so generous on their first meeting was impressive.

Shen Yuxuan didn't refuse, took the car for a spin, and came back praising it, full of admiration.

"If you like it so much, you can keep it for a while. I don't have a place to put it."

Lin Yu's words almost made Shen Yuxuan's jaw drop. They had only exchanged a few words, and he was willing to trust him with the car?

This was more than just being generous; it was being bold!

"You're my friend for sure! Rest assured, the car will be in perfect condition with me!" Shen Yuxuan couldn't hide his excitement. Lin Yu's generosity reminded him of Lin Yu.

In Shen Yuxuan's mind, it was their first meeting, but for Lin Yu, it was a reunion with an old friend. He wanted to chat with Shen Yuxuan about the past, but he couldn't.

Shen Yuxuan treated Lin Yu to lunch, and Lin Yu, as He Jia Rong, got to know him better.

"Shen, how's your career and life going?"

When they first met, Lin Yu noticed a slight black aura on Shen Yuxuan's forehead, indicating that he was having some bad luck and might be in danger.

"It's okay, just the usual. I'm learning to take over some of my father's work." Shen Yuxuan's tone was somewhat helpless. His dream was to become a great surgeon, but his father insisted he take over the family business.

Lin Yu smiled and didn't ask more. On the way out, he saw a convenience store, asked Shen Yuxuan to wait, and went in to buy a jade Guanyin for 20 yuan, then cast a protection spell and gave it to Shen Yuxuan, saying, "First meeting, a small gift for your safety."

At that moment, Lin Yu's heart was bleeding. The 20 yuan was borrowed from a nurse to buy slippers, and he wanted to ask Shen Yuxuan to return the money but couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Thanks."

Shen Yuxuan took it and, when Lin Yu wasn't looking, casually threw it into the storage box in front of the passenger seat.

It wasn't that he looked down on Lin Yu; it was just that his family's store sold jade Guanyins for thousands or even tens of thousands, so there was no need to keep a glass imitation.

After sending the car to Shen Yuxuan's garage, Lin Yu left. Before he went, Shen Yuxuan said he would get him a neighborhood access card so he could come and drive the car whenever he wanted.

The next day was the weekend. Lin Yu went early to help his mother make and sell buns. After a busy morning, they started eating around one o'clock.

After lunch, Lin Yu had to go to Wei Gongxun's wife to treat her.

However, halfway through the meal, his mother-in-law, Li Suqin, called, sounding urgent, "Jia Rong, where are you? What are you doing?"

"Eating, Mom."

"Oh, you have the time to eat. Go quickly, your father and Yan are arguing with someone!" Li Suqin said anxiously.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll be right there."

Lin Yu told his mother and put down his chopsticks, rushing to the location his mother-in-law mentioned.

The place Li Suqin mentioned was on the antique street, not far from Qin Xiulian's bun shop, so Lin Yu ran there.

When he arrived, he wanted to ask someone where Baoyuan Pavilion was, but he saw a crowd gathered in front of a shop with a sign that read "Baoyuan Pavilion."

Lin Yu immediately ran over, pushed through the crowd, and went inside.

He saw Jiang Yan and his father-in-law inside. His father-in-law's face was red, and he was trembling with anger, holding a scroll and arguing with a chubby man, "This is definitely not the one I chose earlier. It's a fake! You switched it!"

The chubby man, who was likely the shop owner, was calm compared to Jiang Jingren, "Old man, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. This is the one you chose earlier. If it's a fake, it's your mistake, not mine."

"You're lying! The one I chose earlier was genuine!"

Jiang Jingren's anger caused him to cough violently.

"Dad, calm down. If it doesn't work, we can call the police." Jiang Yan tried to comfort Jiang Jingren while putting pressure on the shop owner.

"Call the police? Go ahead, see who the police arrest. I'll tell them you're causing trouble!" The shop owner spoke confidently because his brother was the captain of the local police
