Chapter 66: Race Me on Mount Akina!
Chapter 66: Race Me on Mount Akina!
“Mom, you went too far!” Yang Mi stomped her little foot, almost crying. Her mom was really too much. It was fine if she liked Tang Chen herself, but why did she have to say those things about him? Tang Chen clearly wasn’t the kind of person she thought he was!
Tang Chen’s face remained calm, without joy or anger. If anyone else had said those things about him, he might have gotten angry and lost his temper long ago. But this was Yang Mi’s mom, so he couldn’t act that way.
“Auntie, Yang Mi and I truly love each other. Maybe my behavior today made you think I’m not reliable, but I act according to my conscience. I don’t want to explain anything. I just want to say that the innocent don’t need to defend themselves. I’m sorry to bother you. Goodbye.” Tang Chen didn’t say anything too extreme. Instead, he gave a bitter smile, bowed, then turned and left.
“Tang Chen, don’t go!” Yang Mi was really about to cry. After being with Tang Chen for so long, this was the first time she had seen him look so dejected. The dullness in the corner of his eyes was so heartbreaking.
She cried. The tears finally streamed down uncontrollably. Her heart ached with sharp pain. She was just about to run and grab Tang Chen, but her mother reached out and pulled her back firmly.
“Don’t go! If you still listen to your mother, forget him as soon as possible!” Yang Mi’s mom scolded loudly. Although seeing her daughter cry like this made her heart ache, for her daughter’s future happiness, she hardened her resolve.
“Mom, why do you have to treat Tang Chen like this? I love him. He’s not the person you say he is. I want to be with him!” Yang Mi shouted. Tang Chen’s back, not turning back once, grew fainter and fainter in her eyes. It felt like if she didn’t hold onto him tightly this time, he would disappear from her life forever.
Yang Mi’s mom harshly pulled her behind her back. She yelled, “Yang Mi, mom is doing this for your own good! A boy like him isn’t right for you. You need a more honest, straightforward boy, not him! I’m telling you, if you dare go look for him, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life! I won’t acknowledge you as my daughter anymore!” After saying this, she turned and left directly.
“Why… why are you treating me like this? I really, really like Tang Chen. Why… wuu…” Yang Mi collapsed onto the floor, crying helplessly just like any other girl going through a breakup.
Tang Chen was her first love. At this age, the longing and dreams about love are always filled with romance and beauty. She recalled all the little moments with Tang Chen: the first shock at the Junyue Hotel, the first time giving herself at the motel, and then that grand confession ceremony on the Sports Ground…
She raised her left hand. She used her right hand to gently touch the ring on her finger, and then a heartbreaking smile blossomed at the corner of her mouth.
“Sorry, Mom. If I lose Tang Chen, I will never find a man I love and who loves me like this in my entire life.” As she spoke, her gaze became determined. She then stood up and ran straight out. She was going to find Tang Chen. She wanted to be with Tang Chen.
What Yang Mi didn’t know was that not long after she left, her mother, who had already gone into the supermarket, came out again, her face already streaked with old tears.
“Silly daughter… What mother doesn’t hurt for her own child? Go pursue your happiness. Maybe one day you’ll realize you were wrong. Remember to come back and see Mom.” As she spoke, Yang Mi’s mother weakly collapsed onto the ground and suddenly began to laugh loudly.
She had raised her daughter for over ten years, but in the end, it couldn’t compare to the pull of a man. Perhaps this was exactly what the old saying meant: a grown daughter cannot be kept at home. How pitiful is the heart of parents under heaven!
Tang Chen was now speeding casually down the highway in his Extravagant Battle Car. His phone kept ringing. He knew it was Yang Mi calling, but his mind was in chaos right now, and he simply didn’t want to answer.
“Respected Host, may I ask where you are going?” The System, which hadn’t spoken much all day, spoke up now. Perhaps sensing the Host’s low spirits, it spoke cautiously.
“Where to? This Young Master doesn’t know. This Young Master is in a bad mood. I want to go for a drive.” Tang Chen didn’t get angry. His heart was a tangled mess right now. He wanted to vent. He absolutely needed to vent!
The System wisely didn’t speak again, only muttering to itself that human feelings were truly hard to understand.
Just as Tang Chen was driving his Battle Car aimlessly, a sudden honk came from beside him. Tang Chen glanced over and saw a yellow sports car pulling up alongside his car. In the driver’s seat sat a guy with yellow hair. Next to him sat a hot girl, using both her hands to perform actions below Yellow Hair’s waist that you all understand.
Tang Chen rolled his eyes, didn’t say anything, and accelerated again. But that idiot caught up together. Yellow Hair shouted, “Bro, that car is wicked cool! Is it a Maserati?”
Tang Chen curled his lip and said disdainfully, “Don’t compare this Young Master’s car to that garbage-hauling piece of crap. It lowers the class.”
Yellow Hair was speechless. Damn, first time he’d heard someone call a Maserati a garbage hauler. He coughed and continued shouting, “Bro, looks like your car’s speed is pretty good! Wanna have a race, experience some speed and passion?”
Tang Chen said impatiently, “This Young Master is not a quick shooter, so the speed is slow. Also, this is a highway, you idiot. If you want to race, do you want the Police to come check your water meter at home?”
Yellow Hair got angry. Suppressing his temper, he said, “Bro, I am the driving god of Mount Akina. Saw your car is pretty nice, so I’m offering to take you to Mount Akina to see what’s what. Watch your mouth around me.”
“Watch your mom, idiot.” Tang Chen’s mouth was really nasty; he cursed immediately. Then he gave a command to the Extravagant Battle Car. The car instantly accelerated and surged forward.
“Holy shit, daring to ignore me? Stop jerking, it’s bad to finish in the car.” Yellow Hair cursed at the hot girl next to him, then floored the accelerator and chased after him immediately. His eyes turned cold, and he bumped the rear of Tang Chen’s car.
Tang Chen was furious. He yelled, “Fuck your mom, you big dumbass! Is this Young Master not bothering with you making you seek death?”
Yellow Hair pulled up smugly next to Tang Chen’s car and sneered, “Kid, either you race me on Mount Akina once, or I’ll crash you until your car is wrecked and you’re dead!”
“Fuck your mother! Fine, let’s race! This Young Master will definitely kill you!” Tang Chen was also driven to his limit by this irritating pest. He could only curse angrily. Even if it’s a challenge, this master accepts! Your mom, this Young Master is in a bad mood right now, and you dare to show up? I’ll kill you!
Yellow Hair laughed heartily and said, “I’m telling you, you’re gonna lose for sure! My 86 Hornet has been modified by me. After going through a bunch of professional racing modifications, it’s never even seen a competitor’s taillights! Follow me!” As he spoke, this idiot shot ahead as if to show off.
“You wait for this Young Master.” Tang Chen said, also making the Battle Car accelerate. He was so pissed off by this idiot.
The System said somewhat helplessly, “Respected Host, are you really going to do something this pointless?”
Tang Chen said coldly, “You, shut the hell up! This Young Master said, I need to vent. These idiots are picking a fight on their own. I’ll make sure every single one of them today learns the consequences of offending this Young Master.”
Mount Akina was a peak located outside a certain national highway. The mountain was high and the roads dangerous, with many curves. It was a favorite spot for those who loved street racing.
Even though it was broad daylight, the place was still bustling and lively. Countless scantily clad hot girls were either twisting their bodies against poles among the men, or were openly engaging in that kind of stuff with some horny devils. Two huge speakers blasted intense music. One cool sports car after another was parked there. Just looking at it made your adrenaline pump and your blood boil!
Yellow Hair’s 86 Hornet drove in first. Some people shouted and swarmed over. Someone yelled, “The Driving God is here! What kind of exciting race are you bringing us today?” It seemed Yellow Hair had a bit of a reputation here.
Yellow Hair came out, holding the girl who had been ‘servicing’ him earlier. He said, “You’re in for a treat today! I found a sucker with a nice car. I’ll show you how I win so hard he leaves on foot!”
“Haha, where is this sucker?”
Yellow Hair pointed back and said, “That car there.”
As soon as Yellow Hair finished speaking, Tang Chen made his ridiculously awesome entrance
