57: Chapter 57 The water is too deep; you can't handle it.

By the time the four of them finished eating, it was already past nine, nearing ten o'clock in the evening.

Cao Ye was in a rush to get back to his wife and children, so he left after only a few words. According to Cao Ye, he had been drinking with people from the factory until two in the morning last night, and if he went back late again tonight, the "Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus" would show him what cruelty really meant.

Watching Cao Ye's car drive away, Su Ye looked at Jiang Bai and then, dangling the car keys in his hand, asked:

"It's not far anyway, why don't you drive?"

Jiang Bai hurriedly shook her little head: "Forget it, if I scratch or dent your car, I wouldn't be able to afford the repairs."

Su Ye pressed the unlock button on the car keys in his hand. The tourmaline red Mercedes-Benz not far away flashed its lights. Liu Xueer stepped forward, examined it carefully, and said in surprise: "AMG GT?"

Su Ye looked at Liu Xueer with surprise; he hadn't expected her to know this car. After all, unless one was a hardcore fan of Mercedes-Benz or someone who paid close attention to cars, they probably wouldn't recognize this model.

Of course, there was another group: gold diggers who specialized in hooking wealthy men. Because of their "professional" needs, they would frantically research all sorts of luxury goods and expensive, niche items. However, Liu Xueer didn't seem like a gold digger.

Jiang Bai was also confused. Her best friend couldn't even recognize many car logos, yet now she could identify such a niche model. Jiang Bai herself had only known about it after looking it up specifically after riding in it the other day.

Seeing their strange looks, Liu Xueer hurriedly explained: "Why are you looking at me like that? My brother, that spendthrift, has been nagging my dad about this car, wanting him to buy it for him. So, I got curious and looked it up. Good heavens, it's over two million! Our family doesn't even make that much in a year."

After saying that, Liu Xueer suddenly reached out her small hand toward Su Ye with some excitement: "Come on, if Jiang Bai won't drive, I will! If that spendthrift brother of mine knew I was driving an AMG GT, he'd definitely be driven mad with rage."

Su Ye didn't mind and gently placed the keys into Liu Xueer's hand, smiling: "If you want to drive, go ahead and try. Just take it a bit slow; this car has a lot of power."

Liu Xueer confidently patted her small chest and said: "Su Ye, you can rest assured."

Saying that, she made a gesture that would drive Korean men crazy: "It's a piece of cake."

However, Su Ye and Jiang Bai regretted it as soon as they got into the car. At first, Liu Xueer was normal, just taking a few selfies, then she slowly drove the car out of the parking space. But as the car exited the parking space, there was a roar like a sleeping beast waking up.

Su Ye only had time to say one thing: "Slow down——"

The AMG GT turned into a dark red streak of light and vanished from the spot instantly.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ye got out of the parking lot with a slightly pale face. He took the car keys from Liu Xueer with a trembling right hand, turned, and walked toward his home, not even wanting to speak.

Liu Xueer looked at Jiang Bai, who had been leaning against the car roof trying to recover for a while, and said: "Hey, Jiang Bai, is Su Ye angry?"

Jiang Bai's naturally cool, pale face was devoid of any color at this moment.

"Duh. You're usually so sharp, why were you so thoughtless this time? Drag racing in someone else's car right in front of them? And you wouldn't get out no matter what I said."

Looking at the roaring Jiang Bai, Liu Xueer smiled obsequiously and stepped forward to support her: "Oh, Jiang Bai, you know me. I've had my license for three years, but I've actually been driving for five or six years. There aren't many cars out at night, so I know what I'm doing."

"I just got carried away earlier. I'll apologize to Su Ye."

Jiang Bai indicated she didn't want to talk and walked toward the elevator.

Liu Xueer hurriedly followed, her mouth chattering away with sweet talk.

"Good Jiang Bai, you're the best. You definitely won't be angry, right?"

"Jiang Bai, Jiang Bai, I'll scrub your back when we get back. I've been practicing my back-scrubbing technique, and it's really good now."

"Sister Bai, see if you can talk to Su Ye next time and let me drive it again."

"Impossible!! Don't even think about touching a car in front of me again."

After the two made a scene for a while, Jiang Bai wasn't truly angry at Liu Xueer. They returned home, took showers, applied face masks, and lay on the sofa.

Jiang Bai, munching on a cucumber, nudged Liu Xueer beside her and said: "Hey, Xueer, what do you think of Su Ye?"

Although Jiang Bai believed she would continue to like Su Ye regardless, having her best friend's approval would make it feel even more perfect. Plus, Liu Xueer could be considered Jiang Bai's family, and Jiang Bai placed great importance on the opinion of the first family member she had met.

Liu Xueer's lively eyes darted around, and she deliberately drew out her tone: "This Su Ye is... hmm..."

Jiang Bai rolled her eyes and slapped Liu Xueer on the shoulder in annoyance: "Speak properly. Stop acting like that."

Liu Xueer chuckled, then her face turned a bit more serious: "According to my observations, this Su Ye should be quite wealthy. Not to mention anything else, you can tell from his clothes, the car he drives, and the friends around him. Secondly, he's very handsome, his physique should be good, and he has a very good temper. Plus, what you said before, this Su Ye could be called the dream of 1.3 billion girls."

"To be honest, if you weren't my best friend, I might not be able to help but chase after him."

Liu Xueer's words made Jiang Bai's heart bloom with joy; the person she had set her sights on was being so acknowledged by her best friend.

Then, Liu Xueer changed the subject: "But!"

Liu Xueer said earnestly: "Jiang Bai, does such an outstanding person really exist? He has power and wealth, his looks and physique are top-tier, his temper is good, and he's witty and humorous."

"Even if he isn't faking it, even if he really is that kind of person, have you thought about this: in the face of such a person, I, your best friend since childhood, almost couldn't help myself. Can others resist? In this society, I believe 99% of girls would rush at such a high-quality man like moths to a flame if they had the chance."

"Even if you are together with Su Ye, can you guarantee he belongs only to you? Will he marry you? Have you considered this very realistic question?"

If Liu Xueer's initial words had made Jiang Bai feel sweet inside, every subsequent sentence was like a sharp knife plunged into Jiang Bai's chest, exposing the very thing she was most worried about deep in her heart.

Yeah, Su Ye is so outstanding, can she really hold onto him?

Seeing Jiang Bai lost in thought, her little face shifting between determination and confusion, sweetness and pain, Liu Xueer let out a long sigh.

As the old saying goes, meeting someone incredibly stunning when we are young isn't necessarily a good thing, because they will permeate your whole life, leaving their image in your mind and heart, so that compared to him, everyone else is like standing Old Pan next to John Lone.
