AMTBYIGA Chapter 14

After getting everything ready, Lin Sui carried his little bag, took out his phone, and started navigating to find a cheap taxi.

The temple was several hours away from the city center, and a taxi would cost several hundred.

Lin Sui was seriously comparing prices when a text message notification popped up. He subconsciously clicked on it, and his amber pupils gradually widened.

[Bank card deposit – 1,500 yuan]

Lin Sui was stunned for a second. His first reaction was to open the anti-fraud app and then dial the friendly 110.

In the split second before he clicked dial, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Sui. His fingertip quickly slid to the back button and instead opened his mobile banking app –

[Balance: 1,632 yuan and 50 cents]

Lin Sui held his phone, his eyes gradually brightening. The soft hair on his head seemed to be bouncing up and down joyfully.

Honestly, 1,500 yuan wasn’t enough for two people to live on in the city center, but was this ordinary 1,500 yuan? No!

This was the most Gu Nian could give him, it was Gu Nian’s heartfelt intention! In Lin Sui’s eyes, it was like an underage son secretly earning money for himself, and the emotional value far exceeded the actual amount.

If he wasn’t so poor, Lin Sui would have wanted to frame it.

Just as Gu Nian changed his clothes, came downstairs, and walked out of the elevator, Lin Sui turned around, leaned on the back of the sofa, looked at the expressionless man, and smiled so much that his eyes were almost invisible: “Thank you.”

Gu Nian, who was adjusting his tie, paused for a moment, then continued to do his own thing as if nothing had happened.

Only the tips of his ears under his dark hair were slightly red.

Lin Sui happily turned around and carefully counted the money again before contentedly continuing to find a taxi.

Gu Nian came to the sofa, glanced at the serious-looking young man, and said lightly, “Let’s go.”

Lin Sui was taken aback and looked up blankly, “But the car—”

“I’ve already arranged it.”

Lin Sui hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, “Um… is it a taxi?”

Gu Nian: “No.”

Lin Sui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good, as long as it wasn’t a taxi, at worst he could go find a job today.

The two walked out the door. Lin Sui was already prepared to see an old, broken-down minivan, but when he looked up, he saw the Mercedes-Benz logo.

Lin Sui: !!!!

Lin Sui’s legs went weak for a moment. He grabbed Gu Nian’s wheelchair to prevent anyone from noticing.

His inner self screamed silently.

Oh my god, how much does that cost? Does Mercedes-Benz even do taxi service?

Lin Sui was collapsing internally, completely disoriented as he got into the car, disoriented as he helped Gu Nian buckle his seatbelt, and disoriented as he looked at his phone.

He was wondering if he could sell his phone in time.

Gu Nian glanced strangely at the young man, who had been unusually silent since just now, and lowered his head to continue texting.

Gu Nian: [Don’t let Lin Sui know the car is mine.]

Driver: [Don’t worry, President Gu. To make it realistic, I specifically drove this car as a taxi a few times, and I’ve reviewed all the responses beforehand.]

Gu Nian nodded, paused his finger, and continued typing: [When Lin Sui asks how much it costs, try to say as little as possible.]

Driver: [Understood.]

Gu Nian put away his phone and leaned back in his seat to rest.

The whole car was very quiet. Lin Sui was so anxious about providing for the family that he couldn’t feel the passage of time at all, and he only felt a whoosh—and they arrived.

He looked up and saw the towering and solemn temple outside. Lin Sui subconsciously covered his phone.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped smoothly, and the driver turned around: “The fare is eighty, please pay.”

“…”

Lin Sui didn’t react for a moment, his round apricot eyes meeting the driver’s gaze in astonishment.

A moment of silence.

The driver’s heart skipped a beat. Remembering the boss’s instructions, he nervously swallowed.

Could he have quoted too high?

“Fifty is fine too.” He raised his voice and quickly added.

Lin Sui swallowed back the words he wanted to say. He actually wanted to remind the driver that he might have misread the number.

But it seemed… not?

Were taxis doing business at a loss now?

Lin Sui was puzzled, but Lin Sui gladly accepted it. After paying happily, he specifically asked for the driver’s contact information, preparing to contact this particularly cheap uncle again in the future.

The driver happily added Lin Sui’s contact information after secretly consulting his boss with his eyes.

After Lin Sui got out of the car and watched the black Mercedes-Benz gradually drive away, he turned around and pushed Gu Nian toward the temple in a good mood.

Today was another day of saving money!
