Chapter 78: A Mismatch of Fate
To be honest, if Jiang Yun had known before leaving home that he would run into such a mess, he would have just stayed in and ordered takeout. He had simply wanted to go out for a meal—yet first he encountered a reckless driver, and now he was caught up in this bizarre situation.
Standing before him was a woman he’d never met. She appeared to be around thirty, her looks rather ordinary, but her makeup was garishly overdone. Behind her stood Jiang Yun’s Ferrari SF90.
At this moment, the car bore no trace of its luxury origins. Most of the body was splashed with paint, deep white scratches had been deliberately etched into the surface, and even the windows had been smashed. When Jiang Yun first stepped out and saw the state of his Ferrari, he thought he must have mistaken someone else’s car for his own. It wasn’t until he produced his keys and, at the press of a button, the battered Ferrari responded, that he truly felt numb.
He considered himself someone who’d been out in society for years, never making enemies out of anyone. Since becoming a streamer, he’d interacted even less with people in real life—there’d hardly been any chance to offend someone. Surely, there couldn’t be anyone who hated him enough to do this.
While Jiang Yun was still at a loss, the strange woman in front of him suddenly stepped forward.
She looked at him with excitement and said, “You’re the owner of this Ferrari, right? I’m the one who damaged your car. I’m willing to compensate you.”
At first, hearing this, Jiang Yun felt a wave of relief. After all, with such an earnest attitude, maybe it was all just a misunderstanding. Perhaps she’d mistaken his car for someone else’s, or there was some other reason. In any case, since she was willing to make amends, Jiang Yun wasn’t about to refuse. What’s done is done, after all.
But then, the woman’s next words left him completely speechless.
“But I don’t have any money. How about I offer myself instead?”
Jiang Yun: ??????
At that moment, ancient memories flashed through Jiang Yun’s mind.
“The Tyrant CEO Fell in Love With Me”
“After the Accident, My CEO Husband Became Even More Adoring”
“Days of Being Kept by All Kinds of CEOs”
“Refusing the Billionaire Marriage: The CEO Husband’s Jealous Rage”
He looked at the woman with a strange expression, uncertainly asking, “We… don’t know each other, do we?”
The woman took a step closer, as if trying to close the distance between them. Jiang Yun hurriedly stepped back. She wasn’t offended; instead, she smiled and said, “That’s alright, we can get to know each other now!”
Jiang Yun: ......
He glanced at her beaming face, then at his shattered Ferrari.
Get to know each other?
Like hell I want to know a lunatic like you!
Without any further hesitation, Jiang Yun pulled out his phone and dialed the police.
“Hello, I’m currently at No. XX Chunxi Road. My car, worth seven million, has been maliciously vandalized by a stranger. The damages are easily in the six-figure range. The perpetrator is still here. Please dispatch the nearest officers. Thank you.”
Seeing Jiang Yun call the police, the woman immediately panicked. “Wait, I said I’m willing to compensate you! Why are you calling the police?”
Jiang Yun ignored her for the moment and took several photos of his Ferrari, sending them to his contact at the dealership. The reply came quickly:
“For this level of damage, even if the interior isn’t affected, repairs will cost at least 1.2 million.”
Jiang Yun messaged them to come over, then showed the chat log to the woman.
“See? The repairs will cost at least 1.2 million. The final amount will be determined after an assessment, but it won’t be any less. Will you pay by card or cash?”
At the mention of 1.2 million, a look of panic crossed the woman’s face. “Come on, bro, let’s talk this out.”
She moved closer, trying to grab Jiang Yun’s sleeve. He retreated hastily: “Don’t call me bro, I’m only twenty-five. You’re obviously older than me.”
Just then, Dumb Girl and her two friends walked over.
“Yun, what’s going on?”
“Yeah, Yun, what are you doing tussling with someone in the middle of the street?”
“Oh? Is this a romantic entanglement?”
The three of them wore expressions of pure gossip, clearly ready to enjoy the drama.
Hearing their comments, Jiang Yun pointed helplessly at his Ferrari. “Look, I don’t know her. She trashed my car, claims she has no money, and wants to ‘offer herself’ instead.”
Dumb Girl, Mozi, and Tuntun: ?????
They glanced at the war-torn Ferrari, then at the culprit’s face...
Well… it was hard to judge.
Since the three girls were streaming live, the viewers in the chat exploded with laughter.
“Damn, what a fairy.”
“A true, purebred fairy this time.”
“Someone’s read too many CEO novels.”
“Amazing, Yun’s surrounded by geniuses!”
“Where there’s a crouching dragon, there must be a phoenix chick. Wait for it, more weirdos will show up.”
“Yun, don’t go anywhere, the phoenix chick is on the way.”
“......”
Jiang Yun couldn’t see the barrage of comments. He looked at the woman and said, “The police will be here soon. You should start calling around to raise the money. If you don’t, I’ll take you to court and seek compulsory enforcement. You won’t be able to dodge the debt.”
Seeing his seriousness, the woman became more frantic. “Don’t, bro, let’s talk. That amount is just too much!”
“Heh.” Jiang Yun sneered. “You knew it was too much, yet you still did this? Don’t tell me you didn’t know how much this car was worth.”
“I… I…”
She seemed to want to explain, but Jiang Yun was done listening. He waved her off. “Save it. Start scraping the money together.”
With that, Jiang Yun turned to wait for the police, chatting with Dumb Girl and the others.
He looked at Dumb Girl and grumbled, “I’ve realized something—you’re bad luck for me.”
Dumb Girl: ?????
“What? How is this my fault? This has nothing to do with me!”
She rolled her eyes in disbelief.
Jiang Yun shrugged. “I’ve gone over two decades without running into anyone this strange. Ever since I met you, it’s one bizarre incident after another. Especially today—after saying hi to you guys, first I ran into a husky, then this maniac. How is this not your bad luck rubbing off on me?”
Dumb Girl laughed in exasperation. “Oh please, I haven’t said anything about you being bad luck for me! Ever since I met you, I get into an accident every time I drive.”
Jiang Yun pointed at her Ferrari parked nearby. “Then why didn’t anything happen to your car today? They’re both Ferraris, parked right next to each other, but she went for mine, not yours. What’s that if not you passing your bad luck onto me? If not for me, she’d have splashed paint all over yours…”
Before Jiang Yun could finish, a loud crash rang out.
Bang!!!
