Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband-Chapter 254 - : The Fiery Red Race Car
Chapter 254: Chapter 254: The Fiery Red Race Car
The remote control car in his hand was somewhat old, its plastic shell yellowed, and the car bore some bumps and scratches all around.
Xie Changyan recognized at a glance that this was the gift he had given his son, his expression tinged with nostalgia.
In his memory, the car had been brand new when he gifted it, yet in the blink of an eye, it had become worn out.
“I didn’t expect that after all this time, you would still keep it,” Xie Changyan said.
Ji Zeqiu’s face looked somewhat unpleasant, “This is from my father, of course I would keep it.”
He struggled to sit up from the bed, trying to snatch the car back from Xie Changyan’s hands.
Before he could get off the bed, he heard Xie Changyan’s next words, “Did you take the key out of the car?”
“What?” Ji Zeqiu was startled.
However, in the next moment, he saw the remote control car being dismantled in Xie Changyan’s hands.
It took Ji Zeqiu quite a while to react, his eyes icy, his voice hoarse from illness and suppressing rage, “You bastard, you actually dismantled my stuff!”
He picked up a pillow from the bed and threw it at Xie Changyan, “Get out!”
Xie Changyan hadn’t even married his mother yet, yet he had dismantled the gift from his father.
He must tell his mother to kick this bastard, Xie Changyan, out!
Just as he was about to pick up another pillow to smash at Xie Changyan, he saw Xie Changyan holding a slightly rusty key he had taken out from a nook in the car.
“I didn’t expect that after 20 years, this key would still be here,” Xie Changyan’s eyes and smile tinged with a hint of helplessness.
Qin Feng nodded.
The reason he sought his father after sensing spiritual energy was precisely to seek help. Although opening his spiritual acupoints allowed him to absorb nature’s spiritual energy, his cultivation would be slow without the right techniques.
The previous techniques he practiced were for strengthening the body and opening spiritual acupoints. They were no longer useful after opening the acupoints.
Though he could go to the Scripture Pavilion to receive techniques himself, as a young and non-direct-line descendant, it was better to go with his father, avoiding any subpar technique being handed to him by his third great-uncle, who did not favor their branch.
Full of enthusiasm, Qin Long led his son quickly towards the family estate.
His own cultivation path had reached its limit, so he placed all his hopes on his son, dreaming of him joining the sect and achieving greater heights.
He opened his mouth as if to say something but then held back.
In the instant while his thoughts were in turmoil, Xie Changyan had already restored the remote-controlled car in his hand to its original state, identical to how it had been before.
“That car has been sitting at the 4S shop in Northern City for so many years, it must be scrapped by now. If you still want it, I’ll pick out a new one and send it to you next time,” Xie Changyan said, then reached out again to rub his head.
“Your temperature is still so high, you should rest well, I’m going down now,” Xie Changyan said as he put the pillow that was thrown on the floor back in its place, then left downstairs.
Ji Zeqiu watched his retreating figure, then looked at the key in his hand, gripped it tightly, and remained silent.
…
Ji Zeqiu lay in bed for two days and, after finally getting an antipyretic injection, his body gradually started to feel better.
The first thing he did after getting out of bed was to head to the 4S shop in Northern City.
“Mr. Ji, it’s been too many years, that car might already be untraceable,” the clerk said, his expression somewhat troubled.
“It’s okay, just try your best to find it, and if really it’s not there, then forget about it,” Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips.
“Alright, Mr. Ji, please sit here for a while, we’ll send someone to look for it right away,” the clerk said as he poured a cup of tea for him and then left with a few others.
Time gradually passed, Ji Zeqiu sat in the store for seven hours, from morning until the afternoon.

He looked at the rusted key in his hand again, unclear why he had come here.
Maybe he was deceiving himself?
Perhaps there wasn’t any race car at all, and this key was just for another drawer or door…
And yet, he had come running over here just based on Xie Changyan’s word.
Agitation surged in his eyes, he closed them, and soon his eyes returned to calm.
Ji Zeqiu suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the store.
However, just as he had walked a few meters from the store entrance, he heard the clerk’s calling from behind him, “Mr. Ji, why are you leaving?”
“Maybe I remembered wrong, let’s just forget…”
“We’ve found it.”
Ji Zeqiu’s body stiffened, disbelievingly looking towards the clerk.
Moments later.
Led by the clerk, he approached a red race car.
Because it hadn’t been used or maintained for a long time, its surface had become rusty and spotted; it looked much more antiquated compared to the current race cars.
However, its dazzlingly fiery red body couldn’t be obscured by any amount of spots.
For a moment, a scene flashed through his mind of his father driving a fiery red race car.
“Mr. Ji, is this the car?” the clerk asked.
The clerk’s voice abruptly pulled Ji Zeqiu back from his thoughts.
He came to his senses, took out the key he had been clutching for a long time, and inserted it into the car’s door lock.
His hand trembled involuntarily.
With a “click,”
the car door opened smoothly.
Was this really the race car his father had given him?!
