I Don’t Want To Be Popular - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: The Day Before The Wedding
There were four five-star hotels in Wulong District.
The five-star holiday hotel booked by Chen Chuan was the most expensive at 28,888 yuan per night for the suite he had selected. He had booked the suite for a one night stay. He could enjoy the sunrise at Fairy Mountain from the best angle, and he could also enjoy the ‘Moonrise Fairy Mountain’ view at midnight.
The hotel lobby was luxuriously decorated, brightly lit, and accompanied by soft piano music.
Chen Chuan took the [Four Dreams of Linchuan] and went to the front desk to collect the room card. Just as he was about to go upstairs with the accompaniment of a personal butler, he suddenly received a message from the [Random Mission Box of Millions].
[Current environment detected, triggering the random mission, watch the piano performance in the hall for 30 minutes and tip 10,000 yuan. You will get an inheritance from a random piano master.]
Chen Chuan stopped in his tracks. The mission was not bad.
There was an ATM in the hotel lobby so he first went to withdraw 10,000 cash, and then followed the sound of the piano.
There was a black piano in the corner of the lobby, and the crisp piano sound sounded from it. Chen Chuan imagined that the girl who could be playing such a pleasing sound must be really beautiful.
However, when he turned into the corner, he saw that it was an old man sitting in front of the piano.
The old man had white hair and a slightly hunched body, but the clothes he had on were clean. He wore an old-fashioned suit and seemed meticulous from head to toe. Every note he played was extremely serious and focused. At that moment, he seemed to be immersed in his own musical world, and who knew if he recalled certain times of his youth? He may look poor, but he was definitely rich in spirit.
The melody, ‘Marriage D’amour’, flowed gently in the lobby.
Chen Chuan stood aside, not knowing whether the old man was a pianist hired by the hotel, a tourist here, or simply an ordinary person passing by.
Half an hour later, Chen Chuan walked over and handed the 10,000 yuan in cash to the old man. The old man was surprised, but Chen Chuan said, “Sir, you played very well, I’m a little moved. This is just a small gesture.”
The old man looked over, “Are you insulting me with money?”
“No no.”
“Come on, continue, more!”
…
Chen Chuan left and returned to his room.
[Mission completed, you will get a random piano master’s inheritance.]
[Random selection.]
[You get the piano king Franz Liszt’s piano inheritance]
It turned out to be this master, the most brilliant king of skills in the 19th century.
The next morning, Chen Chuan drove back to Phoenix Village.
He entered Wu Jiayi’s house and saw her washing up using the well’s water in the yard.
After cleaning up, Wu Jiayi, who had not applied makeup, looked like a classic Southern girl from a small family. She had a delicate face and a cool temperament, but she also had a warm smile. Her skin must have been fair from being moisturized by the spring water and had a healthy luster.
Chen Chuan leaned against the jujube tree in the yard, admiring her beautiful bare face.
Wu Jiayi flicked the water from her hand, which hit Chen Chuan’s face, and said, “Stop looking.”
She then handed him a green radish after taking a bite.
“Eat it,” she said.
“Eat what? This?” Chen Chuan was puzzled.
“Yes, you don’t take breakfast in the morning?” Wu Jiayi asked in surprise.
“…”
Along the way.
“Internet-famous attraction, Tianxing Hot Springs check-in completed (10/15)”
Chen Chuan and Wu Jiayi arrived in the city three hours before the wedding ceremony at noon.
Chen Chuan asked Wu Jiayi to casually drive around the city, and they passed by the auto city.
“Stop, I need to get out for a moment,” Chen Chuan said suddenly.
Chen Chuan got out of the car by himself, went to the Lexus 4S store that he had visited the day before yesterday, and found the salesman.
“I want that yellow LC500h,” Chen Chuan said as he patted the yellow sports car in the hall.
This futuristic sports car looked like a big toy.
Its overall shape was exaggerated, sharp, and had a smooth streamline, giving it a strong visual impact.
The back of the car had perfect lines, and the taillights had a downwardly extended design. Its blade-like metal material was very textured.
Chen Chuan opened the car door and saw that the door panel was designed with a large area of suede fur. The interior was an integration of futuristic technology and a warm, comfortable feeling. Sitting in it felt very pleasant.
The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. In the envious and surprised eyes of a few young salesmen, he paid the full amount of 1.36 million.
Since he had bought the [Reputation Card] and [Charm Comb] last night, he had spent 15 million, so there was only 180,000 left in the card. Payment for the sports car was split four times with the help of the [Double Expenditure Cash Return].
“You spent 180,000 yuan and got a double cash return of 360,000 yuan, which has been transferred to your bank card.”
“You spent 360,000 yuan and got a double cash return of 720,000 yuan, which has been transferred to your bank card.”
“You spent 720,000 yuan and got a double cash return of 1,440,000 yuan, which has been transferred to your bank card.”
“You spent 100,000 yuan and got a double cash return of 200,000 yuan, which has been transferred to your bank card.”
Chen Chuan felt at ease after purchasing the big toy.
The unit he had bought at the Jade Apartment had two parking spaces, which happened to be enough to park the A6L and the sports car.
Even if he went back to Haiqin City, the sports car could not be driven often, so buying it and keeping it at the Jade Apartment was very good. Chen Chuan could drive it occasionally when he comes for a vacation.
Back in the car, Wu Jiayi asked, “What did you do?”
“I bought a small toy. Let’s go,” Chen Chuan replied.
Wu Jiayi drove Chen Chuan around the city again and checked in at two internet-famous attractions. So far, they had checked in 12 attractions, and they were only three more away from the goal of 15. It could be completed immediately.
Chen Chuan had already begun to look forward to getting the [3 Years of Driving Experience Certificate] and driving the yellow Lexus LC500 sports car around by himself.
What was certain was that he would definitely get a lot of attention.
It was not because of how expensive the small sports car worth more than 1 million yuan was, but because it was really rare. The chances of seeing it on the road were even lower than a Ferrari.
Just as the people in the shop commented that day, in the range of cars worth more than 1 million, the Mercedes-Benz AMG, the Porsche 911, and the God of War GTR were better than the LC500.
Buzz!
His phone vibrated, He Jinglan was calling.
“Chen Chuan, where are you? Remember it’s the Hyatt Hotel on Chunjiang Road… The ballroom on the first floor… You can come right now, we’re already on the way to the hotel. Okay, see you there~”
Chen Chuan hung up the phone and said, “Driver, go to the Hyatt Hotel on Chunjiang Road.”
“Oh.” Wu Jiayi set up the GPS, turned the steering wheel, and drove in that direction.
“I’ve got a wedding banquet to attend at the hotel at noon, how about you?” Chen Chuan asked.
“Do you still want to check-in at the Internet-famous attractions in the afternoon? If you want to, I can wait for you in the car. I’ll just find a place to eat at noon,” said Wu Jiayi.
The two agreed, and the car arrived at the hotel parking lot.
…
At the Hyatt Hotel on Chunjiang Road, the wedding cars had arrived.
12 black wedding cars stopped at the door one by one, the first two cars were A8s, and the next 10 cars were all A6.
The car doors opened, and the couple, bridesmaids, and groomsmen got out of their cars.
“Beauty, you’re more beautiful than the bride today. I hope you won’t dislike me for asking for your WeChat contact earlier,” the driver of the second wedding car said to He Jinglan, who was about to get out of the car while holding up her dress.
He Jinglan’s principle was to treat people with courtesy, so she just turned her head and smiled without saying anything.
In actual fact, the driver of the wedding car she got in had been a bit annoying on the way to the hotel. He kept chatting on the road, implying that this A8 belonged to him, not the wedding car company and that he graduated from a prestigious school. He was bored during his break so he became a wedding car driver for fun. He had also asked for He Jinglan’s WeChat contact several times.
He Jinglan did not want to respond, but the other bridesmaid who was with her was quick to respond and told the driver of both of their WeChat contacts.
…
Due to a traffic jam on the road, it was already 11:30 am when Chen Chuan’s car arrived at the hotel.
He got out of the car, brought along the [Four Dreams of Linchuan] together with a red packet that he had bought at a nearby convenience store in which he had put 2,000 yuan, and entered the hotel.
Wu Jiayi sat in the car and looked through the window of the car as she watched Chen Chuan enter. She then took her bag to take out a drawing board and pencil from it.
Soft music played in the car. With the sound of the music, she used a pencil to draw sketches of people on the drawing paper.
After drawing for a while, she held her chin with the pencil in her hand and looked out of the car window as if she was reminiscing something or was in a trance.
Then, she put her car seat down and laid back on it. She placed the drawing board on her fair legs under her skirt, and rustled the pencil on her fingertips, sketching out a drawing of people in a scenic spot.
Halfway through, her phone rang a few times. She put down her pencil and replied to the WeChat messages on her phone. It was all from her roommates or classmates, who were asking about the boy from the picture in her Moments.
