Chapter 40
The racing skills that he was so proud of were like a toddler in front of her. They were so fragile that they were not worth mentioning.
Gu Jinxi’s confidence that he had built up for so many years was shattered in front of Lu Miao’s unparalleled and absolute strength.
He fell to the ground in frustration and covered his head with his hand. He said in a muffled voice, ” You won. You can leave now. ”
He had originally wanted to come back and challenge Q, but now, he could not even beat Lu Miao. What right did he have to challenge Q?
After waiting for a long time, he did not hear Lu Miao leave.
He raised his head abruptly and roared angrily, ” Did you deliberately stay behind to mock me?
Yes, that’s right. I’m ignorant and incompetent. I’m a worthless person who only knows how to waste time and rely on my family’s wealth and status.
I’m nothing if I leave the Gu family.
Who do you think you are? Aren’t you still trying your best to suck up to the Gu family?
What right do you have to mock me? Get lost!”
He had been completely driven crazy by the previous blow, and his words were hurtful and unfiltered, causing immense pain to the listener.
Lu Miao did not mind. She just sat down beside him and said calmly, ” If you’re depressed and dejected because you lost to me today, then you can forget about becoming the world champion of car racing. ”
Gu Jinxi turned his head abruptly and looked at her with bloodshot eyes. ” You know that I want to be the world champion? ”
From the moment he started racing, everyone thought that he was just looking for excitement for fun.
Shen Qinghe and Grandma Gu felt that he was self-indulgent and insensible, and would only discipline him forcefully.
Everyone outside the Gu family scolded him for being a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and play and squander his family money.
No one thought that he truly loved racing and had his own dreams.
In the past two years, he had dreamed of winning the world championship and slapping the faces of those who had once scolded and looked down on him.
Lu Miao’s lips curled up slightly. ” A driver who doesn’t want to win the championship is not a good driver. ”
Gu Jinxi pursed his lips. When he thought of his current situation, his eyes darkened and he said dejectedly,
” What’s the point of thinking about it? Even if my mom and the others don’t object, I can’t even beat you. How can I challenge Q and become the world champion? ”
Lu Miao narrowed her eyes and looked at the distant dawn. ” In this world, there will always be someone better than you.
Don’t be overconfident because you won, and don’t be overly depressed because you lost.
Because you never know who your opponent is.
Losing once did not mean losing forever.
Losing wasn’t scary. What was scary was never recovering from it.
If you want to challenge Q and win the world championship, you have to show a stronger and more determined belief than her and put in a thousand times more effort than her. ”
Lu Miao’s cold voice seemed to have gained warmth on this cold morning, slowly pouring into his heart.
The sun was breaking in the distance, and the dim light left a perfect shadow on her face.
Her beautiful eyes were sparkling, reflecting the bright and dark sky in the distance.
The breeze blew her hair into the air.
Because she was in a hurry, she was only wearing simple casual home clothes, but it did not affect her strong and determined aura at all.
Even his entire body seemed to have calmed down.
Beautiful and powerful. This was the most direct feeling he had of Lu Miao at such a close distance.
She looked completely different from the treacherous, greedy, and scheming country bumpkin that Gu Xingyu had mentioned.
He turned his head and stubbornly avoided looking at her. He said in a tsundere voice, ” Don’t think that just because you said this, I’ll stand on the same side as you.
The Lu family didn’t have good intentions when they married you into our family.”
Lu Miao stood up and patted the sand off her body. ” Up to you. ”
Then, she turned around and walked out of the arena.
Gu Jinxi clenched his fists by his side and quickly got up to chase after her.
Lu Miao brought him directly to a stall selling soup and wontons.
It was still early, and the street lights were still on. There were not many people on the street.
Gu Jinxi had not eaten since last night out of spite. He was already famished. At this moment, he looked at the white wontons rolling in the pot. The hot fragrance continuously surged into his nose, and his stomach grumbled non-stop.
However, her mouth was full of disdain. ” Is the Gu family bankrupt? Why are we eating at a place like this?”
Lu Miao was too lazy to argue with the little wimp. She said to the stall owner, ” Can you give me a bowl, please?”
“Alright, then I’ll force myself to have a bowl too.”
Gu Jinxi said reluctantly. But once he started eating, he didn’t hold back and ate three bowls before finally putting down his chopsticks, still feeling unsatisfied.
He habitually took out his cell phone when he was about to pay, but he suddenly remembered that all his cards had been stopped by Shen Qinghe yesterday.
Helplessly, he could only turn to look at Lu Miao and bite the bullet. ” I don’t have money. ”
The pitiful look on his face was different from the one who had generously given her a racing track.
Lu Miao took out her phone to pay the bill. Then, she took his phone, opened WeChat, and transferred five million yuan to him.
These were all the pocket money that Shen Qinghe had given her for various reasons after she had arrived at the Gu family. She had not used a single cent.
Gu Jinxi looked at Lu Miao suspiciously and said, ” Are you trying to bribe me? ”
According to Gu Xingyu, Lu Miao was sinister and cunning. She had a lot of tricks up her sleeve and used some unknown method to bewitch his second brother and mother the moment they met.
Could it be that they were bribed with money?
However, their family did not lack this bit of money.
“Think whatever you want.”
Lu Miao handed the phone back to him nonchalantly, then turned around and headed home.
Gu Jinxi looked at her thin back thoughtfully.
Whether it was the way he talked or his knowledge, Lu Miao did not look like a country bumpkin from the countryside. In fact, she was far superior to him.
How could such a person be what Gu Xingyu said?
It was still early. When the two of them returned to the Gu residence, other than the servants, no one else had woken up.
Lu Miao woke up early almost every morning to go out and exercise. The servant was already used to it, so she only greeted her and did not ask much.
Under Lu Miao’s cover, Gu Jinxi quietly went upstairs to his room.
Shen Qinghe thought that Gu Jinxi would run away again last night. Unexpectedly, not only did he not run away, he even appeared at the dining table in high spirits.
Unlike his previous behavior where he would become easily irritated, throw tantrums, and wished to destroy the world when he was forcefully brought back, he was now mentally alert and full of energy, with the enthusiasm and vitality that a teenager his age should have.
When he saw her, he even took the initiative to greet her for the first time. ” Mom. ”
Shen Qinghe looked at her unfamiliar son in surprise. Is this my son?
Had her son gone crazy or finally succumbed to mental problems?
She went forward suspiciously and raised her hand to touch Gu Jinxi’s forehead. ” Are you sick? ”
“No, I’m fine.” Gu Jinxi pushed her hand away.
Gu Xingyu, who was walking downstairs, glanced at him suspiciously. ” Mom, don’t believe him. He must be up to something bad and is preparing to escape. ”
“Get lost.”
Gu Jinxi rolled his eyes at her.
He stole a glance at Lu Miao, who was quietly eating her breakfast at the dining table. He hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to her awkwardly.
Gu Xingyu thought of the warning she gave Gu Jinxi last night. Gu Jinxi had always had the nastiest ideas, so she guessed that he was definitely planning to take revenge on Lu Miao for her.
She sneered in her heart and sat down at the dining table, waiting to watch the show.
