Richest Rag-picker-Chapter 40: Why Does No One Believe the Truth?
Fang Chenyi drove the Lamborghini out of the underground garage. Just as he came up the ramp, he saw a girl not far ahead, clutching a cardboard box and walking dejectedly toward the main road.
"Huh? Xiao Hanhan, look. Isn’t that the young woman from Louis Vuitton who wouldn’t let us in?"
Following Fang Chenyi’s gaze, Bai Menghan also saw the girl, who had now crossed into the vehicle lane. After getting a clear look at her face, she nodded in confirmation.
"I think that really is her."
As they were talking, they saw the girl hurry forward a few steps to catch up with an old woman in a wheelchair who was struggling to push her wheels up the slope.
She placed her box on the curb, then trotted over to push the old woman’s wheelchair up the rest of the way, making sure to move her onto the sidewalk afterward.
Witnessing this, both Fang Chenyi and Bai Menghan felt that the girl had a good heart.
But as the girl walked back to retrieve her things, a melancholic expression hung on her face.
"What’s wrong with her? She looks like she’s been wronged. Chenyi, pull the car over. That girl seems nice. I want to ask her what happened."
At Bai Menghan’s request, Fang Chenyi gave a light tap on the horn as he drove past the girl, then pulled over right beside her.
The sudden honk startled Li Qian. When she looked up and saw an exceptionally beautiful sports car, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly jumped to the side, bowing her head apologetically toward the car again and again. It was her fault, after all, for absentmindedly walking in a vehicle lane.
But in the next moment, the sports car’s window slid down quietly. Seeing this, Li Qian began to feel uneasy.
People who could afford a car like this were definitely not from an ordinary background. And rich people like that often had bad tempers.
She had seen as much during her time as a sales associate at Louis Vuitton. Every time one of those pot-bellied, wealthy bosses came in, they would look down their noses at the sales staff. Unless you were willing to make some sacrifices, then maybe the bosses would be pleased enough to give you a tip.
Of course, Li Qian had never done anything of the sort.
While Li Qian’s mind was racing, Bai Menghan gently lowered the window and revealed a sweet smile.
"You look so down. Did something happen?"
Bai Menghan’s voice was sweet, but not cloying. On the contrary, it had a very refreshing quality to it.
When Li Qian saw that it was Bai Menghan behind the window, her jaw dropped. She couldn’t believe this supercar belonged to the young woman she had stopped outside the store.
But then she remembered seeing the woman’s boyfriend spend over a million at Armani, and it all made sense.
It wasn’t surprising at all that someone who could spend a million on an outfit would drive such an expensive sports car. She just couldn’t understand why someone so wealthy would dress so plainly and eat so casually.
’I wonder why they stopped,’ she thought. ’Are they here to get even with me?’
’But heavens, I was really just trying to be nice when I stopped them. Okay, I can’t say there wasn’t a tiny selfish reason, but it was nothing major, and I definitely wasn’t looking down on them in the slightest.’
The girl just stood there, looking lost and not even mustering the courage to speak.
Bai Menghan smiled faintly, then pushed open the car door and got out. "What’s wrong? We saw you kindly helping that old woman. If something’s the matter, don’t be afraid to say it."
Li Qian froze, then looked up at Bai Menghan in disbelief. "Uh, you’re not mad at me for... for stopping you from coming in?"
Bai Menghan didn’t say a word, simply shaking her head with a smile. Her meaning was clear: she didn’t mind.
Seeing this, Li Qian finally let out the breath she’d been holding. Perhaps it was because Bai Menghan was so approachable and about her own age, or maybe because the whole situation involved them, but she began to pour out all her grievances.
"Phew, okay, thank you, miss. I feel so much better just getting that off my chest. I won’t keep you then. I’ll go home, get ready, and start looking for a better job tomorrow!"
After saying her piece, Li Qian gave Bai Menghan a sweet smile and prepared to leave.
Bai Menghan felt a little helpless. After all, she was still just a student and couldn’t help the girl find a better job.
But at that moment, Fang Chenyi, who had been sitting silently in the car, spoke up nonchalantly.
"Heh, I can see you have a good heart. How about this? You don’t have to look for another job. Just come back to work at Louis Vuitton tomorrow."
Hearing the voice from inside the car, both Li Qian and Bai Menghan were stunned. They didn’t understand why Fang Chenyi would suddenly say such a thing.
"Chenyi, don’t joke like that. Xiaoyan is already upset about losing her job."
Although Bai Menghan knew her man wasn’t the type to gloat, she couldn’t help but feel confused by his words.
Li Qian, in particular, heard this and assumed Fang Chenyi was mocking her for what had happened earlier.
Sitting in the car, Fang Chenyi saw the looks on their faces and was speechless. ’Seriously? You guys don’t believe in my abilities?’
"Alright, I’m not kidding. To be honest with you, my family owns Louis Vuitton. Just show up tomorrow, don’t worry."
After he said this, however, he didn’t receive the adoring looks he’d expected from the two women. Instead, they still wore the same expressions of complete disbelief.
Seeing this, Fang Chenyi cursed inwardly. ’What the hell is wrong with the world these days? Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?’
"No, seriously, do you guys think I’m bullshitting you?"
