Chapter 414: Keeping your mouth shut can avoid disaster from the mouth【Seeking monthly tickets】

Warmth resides in the heart at this moment.

Perhaps it was the embarrassment after the lie was exposed, Chen Yuying just quietly snuggled in Lin Li's arms, feeling that steadiness, without speaking.

Until she keenly noticed an undisguised, curious gaze, she pushed Lin Li gently: "Someone is coming."

Lin Li turned his head. Zhang Fang was looking at him and Chen Yuying with a face full of curiosity.

"Grandma Zhang, good morning." Lin Li greeted her generously.

"Good morning," Zhang Fang responded with a smile, her gaze curiously falling on the girl beside Lin Li who was dazzlingly beautiful, but was now hiding slightly behind him due to shyness:

"Lin Li, this girl beside you is..."

"My girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, Lin Li immediately raised their tightly clasped hands to shoulder height, shook them, and his tone could be counted as bright.

When he showed off to Ceng Ziang before, he had warned him not to tell people in the residential area, but today is different from the past. Since Wu Min already knows, it doesn't matter at all.

Although still shy, Chen Yuying was not an introverted and timid girl, so after hearing Lin Li's introduction, she also looked up at Zhang Fang, learned Lin Li's address, and her voice was sweet: "Hello, Grandma Zhang."

"Oh oh—hello to you too, hello to you too."

Zhang Fang's eyes first widened slightly, then revealed understanding, and finally turned into deep kindness and a gentle touch of teasing.

Looking at the pair of young people who could be considered a match, a smile hung on Zhang Fang's face unconsciously:

"Grandma just now... hindered you two, right."

"Not particularly hindered, just hindered a little bit." Lin Li waved his hands quickly, signaling Zhang Fang that there was no need to blame herself so much.

"Isn't that still hindering? You child—" Zhang Fang scolded with a smile. Lin Li was still as good at talking as ever, then asked: "Are you two going out to play?"

"Yes."

"Alright, Grandma won't hinder you two anymore. Go have fun, have a good time."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Saying goodbye to Zhang Fang, the two continued to walk toward the entrance of the residential area.

However, Lin Li felt that the fact that he was dating would spread among the old people in the residential area in at most one day—Zhang Fang could also be considered the head of the residential area's intelligence organization, the Minister of the Military Secret Office of the residential area.

Today is the weekend, but it's already past eight o'clock, which is a good time for middle-aged and elderly people to be active, so along the way, besides Zhang Fang, they met quite a few neighbors.

More than half of them knew Lin Li, so almost everyone would curiously focus on Chen Yuying.

Lin Li repeated the fact that Chen Yuying was his girlfriend time and time again, and then calmly dealt with the knowing, teasing, and shifting words or jokes of these elders.

Chen Yuying was mostly quiet on the side. If she met an enthusiastic elder asking, she would politely nod and greet them.

But Lin Li could feel that she was happy.

Because Chen Yuying's hand holding Lin Li's tightened unconsciously, and the amplitude of their hands swinging while walking also increased unconsciously, and her steps became lighter.

Harmonious and happy.

Perhaps the only victim was Ceng Ziang.

Because the elders Lin Li met included Ceng Ziang's mother.

And as everyone knows, after seeing other people's children, the next step is to compare them with one's own children.

Maybe Zeng's mother would go home and say, "Sleep, sleep, sleep all day, don't know how to do anything else," and Ceng Ziang, who was scolded for no reason, would be confused.

"Are you here to hail a taxi?" When they reached the entrance of the residential area, Lin Li, who still knew nothing about where they were going today and what they were doing, looked at Chen Yuying.

"Okay." Chen Yuying nodded and took out her phone to operate.

Looking at Lin Li, who even deliberately avoided his gaze while she was entering the destination, Chen Yuying found it a bit funny:

"Not curious at all about where we are going?"

"I want to enjoy my confusion, helplessness, and panic; you don't understand, do you." Lin Li tapped the back of her hand with his finger and smiled.

"Then I'll sell you later."

"Can you sell me to your mother? That way I'll help you count the money."

"Sell to my father."

"That's really vicious. The last time I saw such a pure act of malice was promoting funeral services outside the hospital operating room and distributing flyers for repeat institutions outside the college entrance exam room."

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Yuying looked at her phone: "The car will be here soon, the location is at the intersection, let's go over."

Chen Yuying took a step, but felt her hand being gently pulled by a force—because Lin Li stopped in place.

Chen Yuying turned her head and saw Lin Li's brows slightly furrowed, his gaze locked on a car approaching from afar, his left hand unconsciously rubbing his chin, seemingly thinking about something.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Li withdrew his gaze, looked at Chen Yuying with a strange expression, and pointed to not far away: "Class monitor, look at that car."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuying looked up. Lin Li's residential area was not a bustling section. At this moment, there was only one car driving toward this side.

"It should be the car we hailed..." Chen Yuying looked down to check her phone, then also furrowed her brows: "The location is it, but... why don't the license plate number and car model match?"

Seeing that Chen Yuying hadn't reacted yet, Lin Li's expression became even stranger: "Class monitor, this car driving over is your family's car."

Chen Yuying: "?"

Because Chen Yuying's family had more than one car, she was indeed not very sensitive to this. Now, being reminded by Lin Li, she reacted instantly—right, this seems to be her family's car!

And it was the one that sent her over this morning!

Chen Yuying's gaze then fell on the three words "Master Zhuang" displayed on the phone screen.

This Master Zhuang...

At this time, the car, without communicating with Chen Yuying or Lin Li on the software, skipped the boarding point and drove straight to the entrance of the residential area, beside the two.

The car door handle in the back seat popped out automatically, and at the same time, the front window slowly rolled down. In the driver's seat, Zhuang Qiang, wearing a mask, had a straight face:

"Good morning, you two! I am your Didi driver, Master Zhuang. Very happy to serve you~ The back seat has been cleaned, please fasten your seat belts, I will deliver you safely and steadily!"

Lin Li: "(；o_o)?"

Why are you so proficient!!

You didn't do this line of work before, did you?

Chen Yuying: "..."

It really is (へ╬)!!

Uncle Zhuang! This isn't a situation where I won't recognize you just because you wear a mask!!

"Uncle Zhuang, why are you here?" Chen Yuying's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

"Part-, part-time," Zhuang Qiang looked away with a guilty conscience, "President Chen and President Song said that as long as I don't affect my main job, it's no problem to earn some extra money in my spare time."

"Uncle Zhuang, really has nothing to do with my mom?" Whether it's part-time or not is not important; this is the key point Chen Yuying cares about.

"No." Zhuang Qiang's tone was firm.

"So you are purely working part-time?" Lin Li asked.

"Yes."

Lin Li: "'Person-car mismatch' is an extremely serious violation in the ride-hailing industry. Reporting it to the transport management department will result in a fine of between 10,000 and 30,000 RMB. Reporting it to the platform will result in a permanent ban of the account."

"Therefore, drivers who want to make money would never take such a big risk to accept an order; at least they would use a fake plate."

Zhuang Qiang: "..."

Damn it, why is there a Sherlock Holmes here.

Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying expressionlessly: "Class monitor, cancel the order; I'll pay the driver compensation fee."

Chen Yuying also looked expressionless: "You click cancel directly."

"This, this—" Zhuang Qiang scratched his head, knowing he couldn't fool them, so he smiled sheepishly, took off his mask, and confessed the real reason:

"It's just now President Song knew that you, Miss, entered the residential area and didn't come out, so she asked me to confirm whether you arrived at Puchun safely, so she could be at ease.

But I didn't want to ask, so I used my previous ride-hailing account nearby to see if I could brush your order...

Then... I habitually accepted the order..."

Chen Yuying took the phone back from Lin Li's hand and pouted with slight dissatisfaction: "I'll ask my mom."

Lin Li reached out and pressed Chen Yuying's hand and the phone, saying with a smile: "It seems that not only do you feel that it will be over if you go to my place, but Auntie also feels the same way."

"Human nature, no need to ask."

Zhuang Qiang's explanation was reasonable.

Through previous chats with Wu Min, Chen Yuying's mother should know that there is only herself at home usually, and Wu Min is not there.

And under the premise of knowing this condition, knowing that Chen Yuying didn't take a taxi to the destination with him as she said before, but entered his residential area directly, even if Chen Yuying's mother is indeed open-minded, she has never really been in contact with him, and everything about his character is hearsay, so it is very normal for her to be uneasy.

Chen Yuying also thought of this, but was still a bit unhappy.

Seeing this, Lin Li gently pinched her cheek: "Obviously, you perform too much like you like me at home usually. I guess you are shouting 'I want Lin Li, I want Lin Li' even when you sleep, right?" ===== CHAPTER 415 =====
