Chapter 969: Cla.s.s Reunion (Part 5: Lowly Mechanic)

Du Sisi's voice was not loud, but her words were clear enough for everyone to overhear. It was as though she was trying to let the male cla.s.smates having a conversation nearby hear it as well.

Although most of the male cla.s.smates would be arriving later, Du Sisi could no longer contain the urge to spit poisonous remarks at Helian Wei Wei, when she saw that her striking beauty had not faded at all. She especially wanted everyone to know that no matter how gorgeous she looked, she was nothing more than a lowly mechanic without any degree or certification. All in all, she's just a piece of worthless trash and could not even compare with my impressive career.

“Sisi, have you forgotten? Haven't I told you before?” Li Meng tugged lightly at Du Sisi's sleeves, as though it was uncomfortable for her to talk about Helian Wei Wei's occupation.

Du Sisi hurriedly waved her hand and added mockingly, “I'm sorry Wei Wei, I'm very forgetful when I'm too busy. Li Meng told me that you're a mechanic in a garage now. You even have to take care of your child on your own as well. It must have been really tough on you. Actually, if you face any problems, just tell us. We can all think of ways to help you.”

“A mechanic?” A male cla.s.smate turned his head around and asked in disbelief, “Wei Wei, are you really a mechanic now?”

In the past, she was the most beautiful girl and a G.o.ddess to all the male students on their campus. She was even one of the top students of the law faculty, and her academic achievements far outranked every top male student in every subject. She was indeed a very mysterious figure. All of them a.s.sumed that she came from a wealthy family background, and would never expect she would be a mechanic now.

However, Helian Wei Wei simply took the question gallantly. With one hand carrying little Qingchen, she leaned against the sofa casually. Unperturbed, she crossed her slender legs and said nonchalantly, “Yes, I am. So, if you have any problems with your cars in the future, come over to my garage to repair it. Other than working as a mechanic, I have a second job as well, but the service I provide doesn't really suit all of you.”

After all that yabbering, she's still a mechanic after all. Du Sisi laughed coldly in her heat. What's with all the second job and everything? She's just pretending to be mysterious.

She had heard it all from Li Meng, who told her that Wei Wei could not even afford to buy a car. Maybe, even her house in Beijing is also rented.

“Ah, humans are fortune's fools, isn't it?” Du Sisi sighed and continued sarcastically, “Wei Wei, I thought you've gone overseas to further your study. It's been so long since we've met, everyone thought that you're working as a lawyer. Why would you repair cars now?”

Helian Wei Wei simply smiled faintly and replied, “Well, it's because I think working as a mechanic is more interesting than dealing with the law.”

“Interesting?” There was a tone of noticeable mockery in Du Sisi's voice, but she quickly added, “I've heard from the professors that you didn't even receive your graduation certificate. Such a pity, if you have an academic degree, I can at least help you find a job as an a.s.sistant for you with my connections in this field.”

a.s.sistant? Little Qingchen remembered the contracts that were sent by the renowned law firms in the country to Helian Wei Wei, after they heard that she wanted to stay in the country. The contracts were instantly discarded into the rubbish bin by Wei Wei, without even having a peek at them. With that thought in mind, he suddenly felt that the person sitting in front of him was as dull as a rock.

“No thanks, I enjoy my current job very much, and I don't intend to switch my career path any time soon,” Helian Wei Wei replied. She was speaking the truth, as she was working as a mechanic in the day and a ghostbuster at night. Basically, she could earn at least a hundred thousand a night as a ghostbuster, more than what she could earn as a lawyer. Most importantly, if she was a lawyer, she could not possibly bring Qing Chen to the court with her. However, things were different if she was a ghostbuster. She only had to sit down and count the money, while Little Qing Chen was responsible for eliminating the ghosts. It was a sort of entertainment activity for Little Qingchen. Now that I think of it, I can bring Shangxie along when I capture the ghosts next time. Hmm, Shangxie must be more powerful and more skilled at eliminating them.

Du Sisi did not realize that Helian Wei Wei was not affected by her provocation at all. She thought that Helian Wei Wei was merely being stubborn, hence she faked a sigh as she muttered, “Wei Wei, only a woman like you can bear with this hardship. If it were me, I would not be able to take it. I've heard how dirty it can be when repairing cars, and there are men everywhere. I hope you stay firm and strong, so that you won't be bullied because you're a woman.”

“No one can bully my mother,” Little Qing Chen instantly understood the subtle meaning behind Du Sisi's jeering words. He put the demon plush toy that was blocking him aside, and looked at Du Sisi with shimmering eyes.

That was when Du Sisi realized how pretty this child was. However, his large, round eyes were icy cold, as though they were flashing red and warning her. Despite his extraordinary magnanimity, his outfit was extremely unimpressive and none of it were branded items. It was clearly evident that his family was not too well-off.

“Wei Wei, this must be your son. He's so handsome, and is really protective of you.” Du Sisi wore a saccharine smile and looked to the side, saying, “I've heard that your son has some misunderstandings with Cheng Cheng. This is so weird, Cheng Cheng is usually a very mature and well-behaved boy. Every time we go out for coffee, Li Meng will always bring Cheng Cheng along. He has never caused us any problems, so why would they fight in school?”

Her words reeked with feigned incredulity, and seemed to have an underlying message. Indirectly, she was complimenting and highlighting Little Fatty Cheng's civilized and courteous character, to hint at Helian Qingchen's misbehavior.

However, Li Meng generously proclaimed, “It's normal for kids to have conflicts. Wei Wei is usually too busy repairing cars, she probably doesn't have a lot of time to care for her son. Just let this matter blow over, Cheng Cheng is a year older than Qingchen, after all. You have to give in to the younger brother more, understand?”

“Yes, I understand everything that you said, mummy,” Little fatty Cheng responded quickly in front of everyone. Nevertheless, his eyes were filled with contempt when he looked at Helian Qingchen.

Li Meng continued saying to Du Sisi, “Sisi, it's tough for Wei Wei all along. She even has to save up and eat less for her child, so don't mention this issue anymore.”

When Little Qing Chen heard what they said, his eyes turned menacingly cold. He initially wanted to drag Pretty Wei Wei away soon, as he wanted to meet his elder brother later and was really uninterested with all these rowdy humans. However, after witnessing such a ridiculous situation, he decided to stay and let these foolish humans know the price to pay for mocking his mother.

However, before Little Qingchen could use his trickery, Helian Wei Wei said, “Regarding the matter at school, I may not hear about the whole story, but I've heard parts of it. It's pretty normal for children to fool around, but the language they speak is influenced by their parents. Since everyone is around, I, as a mother, have to ask on behalf of my son. Li Meng, why does your son call Qingchen ‘little b.u.mpkin' every time he sees him? Who taught him this word?”

“Does this need to be taught? You're a lowly mechanic, so of course, your son is a… mph!” Before Little Fatty Cheng could finish his words, Li Meng hurriedly covered his mouth.

Li Meng glared at him furiously, and he immediately became silent.

However, everyone had already heard what he wanted to say, although he did not finish his words. Surely, he was saying that Helian Wei Wei and her son were poor.

The atmosphere was instantly doused with a stifling awkwardness.

Everyone lowered their heads to mindlessly take a sip of their coffee, as though they were trying to hide something. However, it was obvious that some people had a sneaky grin on their faces, seemingly laughing at Helian Wei Wei with Little Fatty Cheng.
