Shen Li instantly understood what Wen Xiao meant and felt helpless.
In actual fact, she did not want Lu Huaiyu’s money. The price had already far exceeded the value of the painting itself.
Moreover, what she had earned in this past year alone had definitely been enough for her to collect the amount of money that she owed.
But now that all these things had already happened, it was too late to say anymore.
She looked at Lu Huaiyu.
“Second Brother, shall we go?”
Around this time was the time for him to go back and rest.
Ever since she had seen Lu Huaiyu’s medical record at the Lu family home, Shen Li had paid extra attention to this matter and tried her best to free up his afternoon time.
Lu Huaiyu nodded.
When Yang Tao heard that they were going to leave, he felt slightly relieved.
“I’ll send you guys off.”
…
Skyleaf City.
Shen Li got out of the car and bid goodbye to Lu Huaiyu. Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
The black Bentley slowly drove away.
When Shen Li returned home, she noticed that Shen Zhijin was not there and it was quiet.
She took a bottle of ice water from the fridge for herself and sat down on the sofa. What happened at the LY base earlier that day kept replaying in her mind.
Everything else had been fine, except for Lu Siyu’s attitude towards Lu Huaiyu…
She took her phone and contemplated for a long time before she finally made a call to Lu Siyu.
Toot–
The other party picked up almost instantly, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
“Sister Li?”
When Lu Siyu saw that the caller ID indicated that it was Shen Li, he thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Shen Li did not come to LY often, but every time she did come, she would interact with Ji Shu the most.
Later, there had been Gu Siyang, and then there was Wen Xiao.
However, the other members of the team did not have the chance to talk to her alone.
So, it was especially rare for her to take the initiative to call.
That was why Lu Siyu reacted this way.
“Lu Siyu.”
Shen Li opened her mouth to speak.
“I have something to ask you.”
Lu Siyu was stunned for a moment, but he still readily answered, “What is it? Sister Li, please feel free to ask!”
Shen Li paused for a moment and asked carefully, “Did you… know Second Brother before?”
Lu Siyu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood. What she wanted to ask was why he had reacted that way when he had seen Lu Huaiyu today.
He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Actually, I don’t really know him. It’s just that, a few years ago, I once watched Second Master Lu race live, and I thought that he was very good, so–”
Therefore, he was indeed full of admiration for Lu Huaiyu. It was only today that he had nervously asked for his opinion.
This was a very normal thing.
However…
There was Wen Xiao in the front and Shen Li in the back. These two people were definitely at the top of the domestic racing industry.
However, the person Lu Siyu admired the most was Lu Huaiyu.
Even if he had only seen Lu Huaiyu race live once, even if it was a few years ago.
From this, it was not difficult to imagine Lu Huaiyu’s level.
Shen Li fell into deep thought.
She knew that Lu Huaiyu had raced for a period of time, but he had not touched it again since.
Lu Huaiyu had mentioned this matter once. At that time, he had just mentioned it in passing, saying that he felt that it was no longer interesting.
He had always been such an arrogant and untamable character. Whether he liked it or not was entirely up to him. Shen Li had not thought too much about it.
But now…
“Is that so?” Shen Li’s tone was casual. “A few years ago… it should have happened quite a long time ago, right?”
“That’s right!”
Lu Siyu had not wanted to mention this at first, but since the other person was Shen Li, there was nothing much else to say.
“Ever since Second Master Lu left the Capital to go to Yunzhou, he hasn’t touched a racing car. It’s been more than two years since.”
Shen Li’s heart skipped a beat.
At that time, Lu Huaiyu had left the Capital and gone to Yunzhou to recuperate.
However, what exactly had happened to him at that time that had been so serious?
“Sister Li? Sister Li?”
Hearing that there was no sound from Shen Li’s end for a while, Lu Siyu called out to her a few times.
Shen Li came back to her senses.
“It’s nothing, I’m just a little curious.”
Lu Siyu was a little puzzled. “Sister Li, these things… didn’t you know about them before?”
Based on their relationship, Shen Li should know about these things, right?
Shen Li smiled.
“I only know that Second Brother used to race cars, but I’ve never seen it with my own eyes, so I didn’t know that he drove so well.”
Lu Siyu did not suspect anything. Instead, he felt a little regretful for Shen Li.
“Ah, that’s a pity. Second Master Lu was really… Sister Li, if you guys were to compete, I think it would be hard to determine who’s stronger!”
Lu Siyu had been on the track with Shen Li before, so he knew Shen Li’s strength better than many others.
If even he could say that, it proved that Lu Huaiyu was really powerful.
After Lu Siyu finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to say that. He lowered his voice slightly.
“Um, Sister Li, did I say too much?”
Shen Li asked, “Why?”
“That’s right… Actually, I heard it from other people. Second Master Lu doesn’t seem to like others mentioning these things.”
Lu Siyu was a little nervous.
When he saw Lu Huaiyu today, he had been so excited that he had forgotten about this matter. In retrospect, he was already regretting it.
Shen Li lowered her eyes, staying silent for a moment.
“It’s nothing. Second Brother won’t mind these things.”
Lu Siyu finally felt relieved. “That’s good, that’s good.”
However, it was still better to pay more attention in the future. He could not lose his composure like he had today.
Shen Li ended the phone call and sat quietly on the sofa for a long time.
Lu Huaiyu had been in a car accident in the past. Perhaps… it was because of this that he had never touched a racing car again?
However, since he did not take the initiative to mention it, she also did not want to ask.
Just then, her phone lit up again. It was a message from Wen Xiao.
[ Ah Li, I’ve closed the car repair shop in Lincheng. I’ve packed up some of your things and sent them to the Capital. Come and get them when you’re free. ]
