Chapter 890: Let’s Negotiate—Modifying The Sports Car
Ge Xuan was completely taken by surprise.
Auto racing was a symbol of being wild. Abroad, especially in Ge Xuan’s school, guys who raced cars and raced well were seen as extremely manly by the girls.
Following the trend, Ge Xuan and his bros grew fascinated in car racing. When they were in school, Ge Xuan’s infatuation with auto racing was basically an obsession.
Auto racing was both exhilarating and risky. Ge Xuan and his friends might have gone into the sport jumping on the bandwagon, it was undeniable that all of them had later fallen in love with it.
In spite of it, Ge Xuan had never mentioned his interest in car racing even to his birth father, Ge Junjian. How did Yun Jian know?
Ge Xuan had wanted to ignore Yun Jian but her words froze him, so he snapped his head back to ask. He was greeted by the sight of Yun Jian crossing her arms in front of herself looking at ease but she did not answer instantly.
Just as Ge Xuan thought that she was going to stay quiet, her voice rang, “Your sports car is modified huh?”
Yun Jian said it like a statement instead of a question.
It was after what Yun Jian said that Ge Xuan turned back to glance at his sports car that was parked nearby and turned back to look at Yun Jian dumbly before nodding his head. “Mn…”
After the slight daze, his confusion kicked back in. “How did you know that my sports car was modified? You didn’t observe it close-up either. How did…”
Yun Jian cut him off. “I saw it last night. I can differentiate this level of modification in one glance.”
She took a pause before she continued. “Regular people won’t be thinking about car tuning. Besides, I saw scuff marks on your sports car. It’s a sports car. You won’t be able to do that to it unless you like racing.”
Yun Jian’s explanation took words out of Ge Xuan’s mouth. The reality was that she made sense.
“Cough!” Ge Xuan let out a cough, not expecting his stepmother’s daughter to discern all these. Did a girl like her like car racing too?
“You’re a girl. Did you like studying things like this too?” Ge Xuan was suddenly interested in Yun Jian. A quick switch from how he ignored Yun Jian just now, he asked her promptly.
There was no doubt that his interest was only a sense of curiosity toward a younger sister. It was just that Ge Xuan did not even notice the change in his attitude. He still did not believe that Yun Jian knew how to race—she was not even legal yet.
Yun Jian was 16 years old, an underage in Country Z, so she would not be able to get her driver’s license. How could she know how to drive without a driving license? Unless she was a genius. Otherwise, who could be that capable?
Yun Jian was not angered when Ge Xuan did not believe her. She dropped her crossed arms and ran her left hand through her high ponytail that reached the front of her chest.
The way Yun Jian ran her hand through her hair was different from other young girls. The way she commanded submission with a graceful sense of assertion mesmerized Ge Xuan. The latter simply felt refreshed by the sight.
Then, he heard Yun Jian speaking again. “Your sports car’s modification is awful. Let’s negotiate it. We’ll race. If I win, you’re not allowed to be rude to my mom and I’ll help you remodify your car. What do you think?”
