Roes Wine

Chapter 2

Fu Anna’s dad had a reason to treasure this car.

This car was not only a limited edition, but also had paint and parts that were hard to find on the market. So it was not easy to find a garage that could fix this car.

She searched for three or four garages on the map, but they all said they didn’t have this kind of paint. Fu Anna looked at the last garage shown on the map, Rmax.

This garage was a bit remote, in the suburbs of the capital, and it took more than two hours to drive there, plus a section of mountain road.

Fu Anna wondered as she drove along the navigation. Did this place have any business? It was so out of the way.

“Your destination is right in front of you. The navigation is over.” The mechanical female voice in the car sounded especially clear after she turned off the engine. Fu Anna looked at the garage in front of her, and then looked at the map navigation again to make sure she didn’t come to the wrong place.

This garage actually looked like a huge carport, with four storefronts connected together. And it seemed like they were about to close, with only a faint light on outside the door.

“Hello? Anyone there?” She couldn’t see very clearly what was inside, but it seemed very empty. Her voice and footsteps echoed.

Was this really a garage? Even if it was, did this place have the paint she needed?

Forget it, let’s go.

She turned around and her dad’s words seemed to ring in her ears. Fu Anna bit her lip. She had come all this way, what harm was there in asking?

“Hello, I want to fix my car. Can you…” She asked again, but this time she was interrupted by someone.

“We’re closed.” It was a man’s voice, low and hoarse. It sounded familiar.

Fu Anna followed the source of the sound and saw a faint red glow in the dark, and some beads rattling.

She didn’t pay attention and walked over. “I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry. Can you please help me take a look at my car? If you can fix it, I’m willing to pay double the price.”

She got closer and saw that there was a sofa in the dark.

There was a vague figure sitting on the sofa, smoking. She couldn’t see his face clearly, only that he was smoking.

The man chuckled softly, then took a puff of his cigarette, tilted his head slightly, and blew out a smoke ring. “Lady, it’s midnight. You drive to such a remote place, see that it’s so dark in here, and you still dare to come in?”

Drip.

A dripping sound from somewhere made Fu Anna’s heart jump. She remembered the nonsense she had told her dad and coughed.

She pointed at the outside and the red light of the indoor monitor that was on. “There were cameras all along the way when I came here. I also saw that your monitor was working outside. And inside too…”

She didn’t finish her sentence when the red light suddenly went out.

Fu Anna’s heart skipped a beat. What did that mean? Did they really want to kidnap her?!

She heard her own heartbeat clearly in the dark. She unconsciously stepped back.

The man’s voice sounded again with a hoarse tone. “Hmm, there are cameras on that road outside, but they’ve been broken for a long time.”

Broken?!

That meant…

Fu Anna didn’t think for another second and ran out as fast as she could. She used her middle school 800-meter run posture and ran back to her car.

Then she locked it, started it, shifted gears, and drove away for several hundred meters.

She was terrified.

She felt like she had escaped from a tiger’s mouth. Her foot on the gas pedal couldn’t help but tremble.

In her mind, she kept hearing the man’s chuckle in the dark garage.

“Ding dong–”

The car suddenly stopped by someone stepping on it. Fu Anna’s face was pale and she was still in shock. She looked at the phone on the passenger seat that lit up and exhaled. She picked it up angrily.

“Qin Zhengyang, are you trying to kill me?” Fu Anna yelled into the phone.

Qin Zhengyang was confused. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so angry? I just called to ask if you’re coming to drink tonight.”

He felt that something was wrong with Fu Anna on the phone and asked with concern. “Are you okay? You sound weird.”

Fu Anna restarted the car and connected to the car Bluetooth. “I’ll tell you when I see you later. Where are you guys?”

“Okay, I’ll send you my location.”

Fu Anna estimated that she had driven for six or seven hours that night. By the time she got to Qin Zhengyang’s place, it was already an hour later.

The lights and wine were mixed with another kind of harsh sound, the revelry of the crowd and the scream of the music. The dim lights and rays covered the drunkenness of the people.

The waiter opened the door of the private room and brought the wine on the tray. He was startled by a woman’s voice and almost dropped it.

“I’m calling the police!!” The woman’s voice was angry. She slammed her wine glass on the table.

Fu Anna was furious. “Who are these people? I’m going to call the police right now! I’ll have that broken garage shut down tomorrow!”

Qin Zhengyang and the others were holding their stomachs and laughing on the sofa. “Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Fu Anna was actually scared and ran away hahaha…”

Fu Anna turned her head incredulously and looked at Qin Zhengyang. “You’re laughing? You’re actually laughing? Do you know how remote that place was? Do you know that the cameras there were broken?!”

Qin Zhengyang laughed even harder. “Hahaha, my sister, you’re kidding me. The cameras there can’t be broken hahaha. There are often races there, and there are more cameras than anywhere else.

How could they be broken hahaha…”

Fu Anna was puzzled.

“What do you mean?”

Qin Zhengyang was about to laugh his guts out. He took a breath and put his hand on Fu Anna’s shoulder, holding back his laughter. “They just wanted to get off work and didn’t want to work overtime, so they teased you. Who knew you would believe it hahaha…”

“Sis, think about it with your brain. That area in the suburbs is full of rich people. How could there be fewer cameras? That place is under close surveillance. Who would dare to commit a crime there? Hahaha…”

Fu Anna was speechless.

Her mind cleared up in an instant.

She stood up abruptly, then sat back down, slowly covering her face.

How embarrassing. So embarrassing.

She thought again, was that person who teased her human?!

Did he feel accomplished by fooling a young girl like her at night?

He was simply despicable, immoral, and low-quality!

Fu Anna wished him ill. May he never find a wife in his life.

Qin Zhengyang saw her sulking and shook his head helplessly. He handed her a glass of wine. “Come on, come on, learn from your mistakes. Next time you meet him, show him your ladylike attitude.”

He handed her a fruit. “And you too, why did you go to fix your car so late at night?”

Speaking of this, Fu Anna got even more angry.

“Qin Zhengyang, answer me honestly. Am I beautiful? Pretty? Am I the masterpiece of the goddess Nüwa?”

Qin Zhengyang was speechless.

He couldn’t understand how someone could be so narcissistic, but he couldn’t refute it either.

He had to nod his head and reply. “Yes yes yes, beautiful beautiful beautiful, pretty pretty pretty, definitely Nüwa’s masterpiece.”

Fu Anna took the wine glass and gulped down a big mouthful of wine. She told him what happened in the garage.

Qin Zhengyang was surprised. “Really? He gave you a blank card?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Fu Anna was baffled.

“I scratched his car, offered to pay him, asked for his contact information, and he didn’t give it! He didn’t give it?!”

“Maybe he thought you were pretty and didn’t want to bother you with that money.” Qin Zhengyang comforted her.

Fu Anna sneered. “That money? Do you know what car I scratched?”

Qin Zhengyang paused and gritted his teeth. “A supercar?”

She sneered again. “A Rolls-Royce Phantom.”

Qin Zhengyang was speechless.

He slowly opened his mouth. “This…”

“And he’s the one I asked you to check out.”

Qin Zhengyang’s mouth opened even wider. He held it in for a long time and finally said. “Damn, he’s so abstinent that he doesn’t even want money?”

He bumped Fu Anna’s shoulder. “I say forget it. It’s like this now, there’s probably no hope.”

Fu Anna refused. She felt that this was the first challenge in her life. “Forget it? I have to pull this high mountain flower down from his pedestal!”

Qin Zhengyang shook his head. “This kind of person, you can tell at a glance that he’s not… not…” He couldn’t find an adjective. “Not like us. You see, you like to drink and have fun at night, but he probably goes to some business or social events. What do you have in common with him?”

“No common ground? Can’t I create some?” Fu Anna thought this was not difficult. Wasn’t it just a party? She could go too.

“Stop it Anna, you’re not cut out for this.” Qin Zhengyang put down his wine and tried to reason with her. “Look, remember when Fu Uncle tried to train you to be a lady of high society? What was your reaction?”

Fu Anna was stunned and said calmly. “Oh, what reaction?”

Qin Zhengyang rolled his eyes. “Fine, pretend you don’t remember. Let’s reminisce.”

“When you were in seventh grade, Fu Uncle took you to an art exhibition. What did you say to us when you came back?”

Fu Anna pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Qin Zhengyang sneered and imitated her tone and mannerisms. “Oh my god, let me tell you, this art exhibition was so boring. The paintings were so ugly. Who would pay money for such ugly paintings?”

Fu Anna was silent.

“Or when you were in seventh grade, Fu Uncle took you to a master’s concert. What was your reaction?”

This time Fu Anna wanted to say something. “I didn’t say anything.”

Qin Zhengyang looked at her expressionlessly. “That’s because you fell asleep and didn’t hear anything. How could you have any opinions?”

Fu Anna said quietly. “Did I?”

Qin Zhengyang sighed. “Sis, you’re really not cut out for this, really. Do you remember why Fu Uncle never took you out for business again?”

Fu Anna said confidently. “My dad said they coveted my beauty.”

“You really know how to pick the good words to hear.” Qin Zhengyang was shocked by her again. “The truth is that Fu Uncle took you to a tea house for business, and you complained that the tea there was worse than the supermarket’s 3.5 yuan Master Kong green tea.”

Fu Anna felt the need to defend herself. “Zhengyang, I have to say this. That tea really wasn’t as good as the supermarket’s green tea.”

Qin Zhengyang covered his face. “Sis, do you know that sometimes, it’s about an artistic conception, a taste that you savor?”

She didn’t know.

And she didn’t understand at all.

Fu Anna was the kind of person who, even if she had no expression on her face, was still exquisitely beautiful.

Under the dim light, her long curly hair draped over her waist, and her waist-hugging dress made her waist look even slimmer.

Her collarbone was not the kind of thin and protruding one, but the kind of delicate one that was given by her bone structure. Her neck was long, and when she sat there motionless, she looked like a noble swan.

As she said herself, no one would say she wasn’t beautiful, no one would not praise her beauty.

But the beauty inside was vulgar, and no matter how much she piled up, she couldn’t be elegant.

Therefore, Fu’s father had given up on training his daughter in this aspect a long time ago, and just let her do whatever she liked.

“I wasn’t interested before, but now it’s different.” Fu Anna said.

“These things are accumulated by experience and knowledge. Even if you pretend, you can’t fool the people who really know this stuff.” Qin Zhengyang thought for a moment and commented. “You use lies to verify, and what you get will also be lies.”

“What if?”

“What if what?”

Fu Anna thought for a moment. “What if he’s like me too?”

Qin Zhengyang snorted. “That’s impossible! If he was like you, would your mom say that about him? I bet with you, if this Mr. Jing is like you, I’ll be your flower boy when you two get married!”

Fu Anna twitched her mouth. Who wanted him to be a flower boy? He could be a bridesmaid at best.

“I’m going to the bathroom. Do you want to go?” Fu Anna asked.

Qin Zhengyang rolled his eyes impatiently. “Are you a kid? Do you need someone to hold your hand when you go to the bathroom?”

Fu Anna said irritably. “What do you care? Ugh, so annoying. If Ji Qing was here today, who would look for you?”

Qin Zhengyang was speechless. He urged her to go quickly if she wanted to go. He walked to the door of the private room and opened it, brushing past a group of timid girls
