Awakened Multi-talented Goddess Is Doted Novel - Chapter 76
Chapter 76: Crappy Car
A tall gorgeous young man dressed in a suit stood at the entrance. Everyone felt a sense of pressure just watching him look at them.
The new teacher was a young woman, so her ears turned slightly red at the sight of Li Hanchen. However, she forced herself to stay calm in front of the parents. “Hi. Who are you looking for?”
“I am here for the parent-teacher meeting,” said Li Hanchen deeply. He sounded so imposing that the teacher felt nervous.
The teacher wanted to ask whose parent he was when she noticed Li An following behind Li Hanchen with his head slumped.
Was he Li An’s parent? Judging from his age, he ought to be Li An’s older brother, right?
Inside the classroom, everyone was stunned.
“Wasn’t Li An’s brother a good for nothing? Doesn’t this mean that he’s the useless eldest son from the Li family?”
“I have never seen him before. All I heard was that Li Hanchen just came home and was living off the Li family’s charity.”
Parents who knew about this came together and gossiped as they looked at Li Hanchen perplexedly.
Li Hanchen sat at Li An’s seat. Even though he did not utter a word, it was impossible to ignore his powerful aura.
Was he really the Li family’s useless eldest son?
The teacher started to report on the students’ results on the podium.
Li Hanchen turned sideways slightly to glance at Li An when he found out Li An had failed four subjects in a row.
At this moment, Li An really wished he did not know what Li Hanchen was feeling.
He could tell his older brother was going to beat him up.
After the teacher was done reporting the students’ grades, she told the parents about the students’ situation at school before the meeting was over.
Li An slumped his head. He followed behind Li Hanchen like he was walking to his execution. At the school entrance, someone suddenly stopped him.
“Li An, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce him to your friends?” A boy with dyed blonde hair eyed Li An quizzically.
He was Qian Jia from Li An’s class. He was from the Qian family. Since he came from a powerful family, all the teachers and students ingratiated with him.
Li An was the only person in school who did not succumb to this. Qian Jia always made trouble for Li An. The last time Li An was beaten up, Qian Jia had a hand in paying off people to do it.
Li An rolled his eyes and walked straight past him to get into the car.
A look of annoyance rose in Qian Jia’s eyes when Li An ignored him. He glanced at Li Hanchen’s car, and a curious expression appeared on his face as he mocked Li An, “What car is your brother driving? Why haven’t I seen this car brand before?”
“None of your business.” Li An turned his head and looked angry.
Qian Jia chuckled as he gestured for his lackeys to come over. “Look at this. What kind of car are they using? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
His flunkies glanced at the car before them and saw it was a Toyota Corolla. The car probably cost slightly over a hundred thousand.
For an average family, it was a decent car. However, the car was not even enough for Qian Jia to buy a bottle of wine.
The flunkies looked in contempt. “I can buy ten of these crappy cars with just the money you drop on the ground randomly. How could they have the cheek to drive it to school? It’s just a piece of trash.”
“Really?” Qian Jia looked at Li An mockingly. “Why don’t you get out of the car and let me send you home? This car is so lousy that I am afraid something might happen to you on the way home.”
“You!” Li An had already closed the car door, but he was furious and wanted to get out of the car and fight with Qian Jia the moment he heard this.
“Sit down,” said Li Hanchen quietly.
“Big Bro.” Li An looked up at Li Hanchen indignantly.
“We are leaving.” Li Hanchen locked the car doors and drove off.
Qian Jia was standing close to the car. He did not expect the car to suddenly move, so he almost got hit by the car’s tail.
“Ptooey! Does he think he is some bigshot driving around in that crappy car?” Qian Jia spat. “One day, I am going to finish you off.”
Li An sat in the car angrily without saying a word. At a close look, he seemed indignant.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. It felt as though he was going to explode like a balloon any moment.
Li Hanchen pulled up by the roadside and turned to say, “Don’t care about what they say.”
The moment Li Hanchen spoke, Li An felt as though all the indignance he suffered at school was going to burst through the dam. The tears he had suppressed all this time kept coming out as Li An wiped his teary red eyes.
It was not his first time getting ridiculed at school.
The Li family had sent him to this school. Since it was a renowned elite school, the students were from rich and powerful families.
From the first day Li An entered the school, he kept getting mocked, so he was already accustomed to this.
However, things were slightly different today.
Li Hanchen was with him, and it was the first time Li Hanchen attended a parent-teacher meeting. It started out such a good day, but Qian Jia and his flunkies ruined his excellent mood.
Tears kept trickling down Li An’s face miserably.
He was not crying because he suffered ridicule. Instead, he felt bad for Li Hanchen.
Li An could already start remembering things when he was five years old, so he knew how brilliant his older brother was. Li Hanchen always came in first for every exam. Despite Li Hanchen’s young age, he was good enough to become the disciple of a world-class pianist and was very athletic. Also, he started to show business talent when he was only 15 years old.
If nothing happened to their family, he was certain his brother would grow up to be an influential man. Everywhere he went, he would garner attention and respect. Instead, he suffered ridicule and despise everywhere he went.
Li An was a candid boy, so Li Hanchen could read his mind right away. He looked at Li An’s red eyes and went quiet for a long time.
Moments later, Li Hanchen finally said, “You are a man, so you can’t cry.”
Li An sniffled as he forced his tears back. His face was red from all the crying, and he looked vulnerable.
“Big Bro, don’t care about what those idiots say.” After Li An composed himself a little, he turned to comfort Li Hanchen.
An unusually warm look emerged in Li Hanchen’s eyes. “If you get into the top ten at the end of the year, I will give you a car.”
“Huh?” Li An inexplicably felt as though his older brother was loaded. “I already have a bicycle. It’s okay. I can still use it for three more years.”
Between using a bicycle and getting into the top ten, Li An already knew what to choose. Get into the top ten? His older brother probably wanted him to die.
If Li An could travel through time to year-end to see the car Li Hanchen was planning to give him, he would ensure he came in top ten even if he had to study so hard that he needed IV for it.
