The girl's black hair fluttered, and a cute hairpin adorned her long black hair.
Her delicate earlobes were slightly pink, and her two tender jade-like hands were holding a cloth bag, looking a bit nervous and anxious.
A pink bicycle was lying beside her, and next to the bicycle, there was also a luxurious and majestic Mercedes Benz parked.
However, at this moment, there was a large scratch on the majestic Mercedes-Benz.
This made the originally luxurious and majestic Mercedes-Benz instantly lose some of its charm.
"I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean to."
The girl's voice was weak and mosquito-like, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Qi Lin.
[Ding! The Supreme Selection System has been successfully activated and automatically bound to the host]
[Ding! The girl Wang Siling damaged the host's luxury car. Host, please make one of the following choices:
Choice 1: Forgive Wang Siling, bear the loss yourself—reward: Wang Siling's favorability +1.
Choice 2: Call the police to handle the matter—reward: 1 million yuan in cash.
Choice 3: You don't want your parents to know about this, right? Reward: Lan Yuxi's Diary]
One second ago, Qi Lin had just jumped off the rooftop, the next second, he found himself reborn and returned to the moment when Wang Siling, Wang Cheng's sister, damaged his luxury car.
Looking at his enemy's sister in front of him, Qi Lin sneered in his heart.
As the saying goes, everything changes.
In his previous life, he treated Wang Cheng as a close brother, but he was taken advantage of.
In the end, when he went to borrow money from Wang Cheng, he was held down by his men and had hot dry noodles forced down his throat.
Even if Qi Lin died, he wouldn't forget this kind of humiliation.
Since God gave him the chance to be reborn, Qi Lin vowed that in this life, he would have nothing to do with being a good man.
Instead, he wanted to become a rich second-generation villain!
"I choose the third choice."
Qi Lin made his choice without hesitation.
[The host's choice has been made, and the reward will be given to the host after the task is completed]
Villains didn't need women's favorability, so Qi Lin directly ruled out the first option.
As Qi Lin was reborn, he had countless ways to make money in his mind, and 1 million yuan was equally insignificant to him.
Moreover, Qi Lin's family hadn't become bankrupt yet, and money wasn’t very interesting to him at this time.
Instead, the third choice...
Looking up at Wang Siling's timid face, Qi Lin's lips curled up slightly.
How would Wang Cheng feel if he saw his sister throwing herself into his enemy's arms?
Of course, what Qi Lin wanted most was Lan Yuxi's diary.
Not to mention Lan Yuxi was Qi Lin and Wang Cheng's classmate and also Wang Cheng's future girlfriend.
Since Wang Cheng had humiliated him so much in his previous life, he must repay it a hundredfold.
He not only wanted to make Wang Cheng miserable as a dog but also take away everything dear to him and make everyone abandon him.
All of this would begin with Lan Yuxi.
A girl's personal diary must contain many secrets unknown to others, right?
"Siling is just a girl. She has already apologized. On the contrary, you have so much money and you really care about this repair fee? If I were you, I definitely wouldn't be bothered by a girl."
Qi Lin hadn't spoken yet, but a loud voice suddenly sounded beside Wang Siling.
Qi Lin then realized that another young man was standing beside Wang Siling, with a rebellious look typical of his age on his face.
Seeing this person, Qi Lin couldn't help but sneer.
Another familiar face.
Yu Chen was Wang Siling's neighbor and also a childhood playmate.
The duo would get married in the future, and Yu Chen would become Wang Cheng's brother-in-law.
They even invited Qi Lin to their wedding, and Qi Lin gave the newlyweds ten thousand yuan as a gift on the spot.
Later, Qi Lin's family's company encountered a crisis that coincided with his father's 50th birthday.
Qi Lin invited them to attend, but they didn't show up.
Thinking about it now, Yu Chen and Wang Cheng were really ungrateful.
"You like to threaten me with morals, huh? Now I have no morals at all."
Looking at Yu Chen in front of him, Qi Lin sneered.
"Damaging property requires compensation, which is written in the law. Whether I demand compensation or not is up to me, not you."
"Besides, if I were you, I would just pay for Wang Siling. If a girl you like gets into trouble and you can't protect her, do you still consider yourself a man?"
"You!"
Yu Chen's hot temper couldn't help but flare up again.
How could Yu Chen play moral kidnapping better than the reborn Qi Lin?
When Yu Chen came out to speak for Wang Siling, Qi Lin didn't morally kidnap her, and he was put on the spot.
"Isn't it just about money? Tell me the amount."
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth, being impulsive by nature, was directly provoked by Qi Lin.
At this age, he had no experience and didn't understand the terrifying repair cost of scratching a luxury car at all.
He thought it would only cost a few hundred yuan to fix it.
If it was only a few hundred yuan, he could grit his teeth and take out his pocket money, which he had saved up since childhood, without any problem.
"The car has scratches on all four sides. The repair cost for one scratch is 3000 yuan, totaling 12,000 yuan. You'll have to compensate."
The car's exterior had a fan design. If one surface was scratched, no matter how small, it needed to be completely repainted instead of repaired; otherwise, there would be a color difference.
"Tw...twelve thousand yuan?"
Yu Chen was shocked by this amount.
In 2002, his parents' monthly salary was only a little over 1,200 yuan.
Twelve thousand yuan!
This was equivalent to his parents' annual income.
"You're bluffing, right? It's just a scratch. Is it necessary to demand so much compensation?"
Yu Chen thought Qi Lin was bluffing and responded angrily.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at yourself. It's only a compensation of twelve thousand yuan. Why are you so furious and jumping around like a monkey? Didn't you say that if it were you, you wouldn't make Wang Siling compensate?"
Seeing Yu Chen fuming, Qi Lin mercilessly mocked him.
Yu Chen's face instantly turned red.
He, who had just wanted to morally kidnap Qi Lin, was now slapped in the face by himself.
"The repair cost is not for me to decide. When you go to the repair shop, they will naturally assess it. Whether I'm bluffing or not, you'll know when you ask someone else later, won't you?"
"Sigh, Wang Cheng is my friend, and Wang Siling is his sister. Originally, for Wang Cheng's sake, I wasn't planning to pursue this matter. Now that you've caused such a scene, it's really annoying for me."
Qi Lin sighed slightly, but malicious intent flashed in his eyes.
Sowing discord was really fun.
Hearing Qi Lin’s words, Wang Siling, who had lowered her head, glared at Yu Chen with her beautiful eyes, saying: "Look at what you did. If you hadn't spoken earlier, things wouldn't have become even more complicated now."
"Brother Qi Lin, I apologize to you on behalf of Yu Chen. He didn't mean anything ill with his words just now; he was just too concerned about me."
"As for the car, can we discuss compensation again?"
Wang Siling's voice was soft and weak, wanting to negotiate with Qi Lin.
"Well, it's not that we can't discuss. It's just that my mood isn't so good whenever I see certain people."
Qi Lin glanced slightly at Yu Chen, and the meaning was already very obvious.
"You!"
Yu Chen's fury couldn't be contained.
"Yu Chen, you're not allowed to speak anymore. Otherwise, I'll never talk to you again."
Before Yu Chen could explode, Wang Siling immediately shot him a glare with her beautiful eyes.
Seeing Wang Siling speaking to Qi Lin, Yu Chen felt heartbroken.
Especially when he heard Wang Siling called Qi Lin 'Brother Qi Lin' so intimately.
It was inexplicable jealousy from a young boy.
But little did Yu Chen know Wang Siling was intentionally showing weakness, hoping to arouse Qi Lin's sympathy.
"Yu Chen, you go home first. This is my own business; I can handle it myself."
He wanted to help Wang Siling compensate, but didn’t have twelve thousand yuan. So, he tried to argue with Qi Lin. But, under Wang Siling's threat, Yu Chen had no choice but to look back at his sweetheart and then leave.
"Brother Qi Lin, can we discuss compensation now?"
Seeing Yu Chen leave, Wang Siling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, a pair of teary eyes looked pitifully at Qi Lin.
"Sure, but it's quite hot outside. Sister Siling, why don't you come in the car with me? We can sit in the car with the air conditioning on while discussing compensation."
Qi Lin opened the passenger door and a hint of a smile flashed in his black eyes.
The scorching heat of midsummer was unbearable. Although it was already half past five in the evening, the sun showed no sign of setting.
The rolling heat waves made beads of sweat appear on Wang Siling's fair forehead.
Glancing at the luxurious leather seats in the passenger seat and feeling the cool air coming from inside the car, Wang Siling hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay."
"Click."
After the two got into the car, Qi Lin locked the door, and only he could open it.
The glass was also a one-way glass. Qi Lin could see outside from inside, but the people outside couldn't see inside.
"Hiss~"
In that instant, Wang Siling felt a piercing chill from the air conditioner, which had just been pleasantly cool.
