Chapter 176 Identity and Position

Xia Ning reacted quickly. When Xu Wen said this, she immediately realized that this was the new car he bought.

The two of them had just graduated from high school not long ago, and she had not yet gotten out of her student mentality. She always believed that driving was something for adults and was still far away from them.

Although the car appeared in front of her, she still felt it was a little unreal.

It had a beautiful white body, red ropes tied to the tires, and a temporary license plate under the window.

Xia Ning didn’t know the car and didn’t know its value. She just thought it looked pretty.

She asked in disbelief, "Is this really the car you bought?"

Although it was a question, she had already accepted the reality in her heart.
Xia Ning understood that Xu Wen would not get any support from his family to buy a car, as he had earned all this money himself.

While other college students were still confused and at a loss, he already owned his first car in his life.

"Of course." Xu Wen nodded.

He walked to the passenger side, opened the door for Xia Ning, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"Oh, beautiful lady, please let me open the door for you. Welcome aboard." Xu Wen's voice was steady, with a long tail, exactly the same as the dubbed accent in TV dramas.

After hearing this, Xia Ning smiled and lowered her body to enter the car. She raised her head and looked at Xu Wen's hand that was covering the frame for her, and said in a coordinated manner: "This elegant gentleman, you still lack a decent suit."

After entering the car, she smelled the unique smell of a new car, the smell of leather seats mixed with a hint of pine and flowers.

The smell is quite pleasant, unlike some cars which only smell like smoke and gasoline.

Seeing Xia Ning asking him to wear a suit, Xu Wen could only spread his hands helplessly: "I really don't have one, why don't you give me one."

He was just joking, but the listeners didn't think he was joking at all.

Xia Ning nodded seriously: "Okay, then let me measure your body data and I'll give it to you."

Suits are generally expensive, and Xu Wen is not a gigolo now. It is not very kind to ask his girlfriend to buy such an expensive item when they just got together.

He didn't continue the previous topic, but turned around and put Xia Ning's suitcase into the trunk.

Girls’ suitcases always look like compressed bags. Xu Wen doesn’t know what’s inside, and he needs both hands to lift it.

After putting away the suitcase, he walked to the driver's seat, ready to start the car and go home together.

As Xu Wen turned the key, he saw from the corner of his eye that Xia Ning had actually reached out and tightly grasped the armrest above her head, and had already fastened her seat belt without his reminder.

"Okay, okay, you don't trust me, right? I feel sorry for my kindness and I specially send you home." Xu Wen pretended to be sad and teased.

Only then did Xia Ning realize that she seemed a little overly nervous.

But Xu Wen just got her driver's license today, so she couldn't help but be nervous.

She laughed dryly and reluctantly put her hands down from the armrest: "No, it's okay, I just feel a little carsick."

An obvious and crude lie.

Xu Wen knew that it was useless to say anything at this time and he had to use his driving skills to conquer the opponent.

He stepped on the accelerator hard, the car accelerated instantly, and rushed out with a "whoosh".

He laughed out loud amid Xia Ning's screams.

Xu Wen never dared to drive like this in the past. After all, the people sitting in the passenger seat were the ones he had to serve.

Xia Ning understood that he was teasing her, so she reached out and patted him lightly on the shoulder, whispering coquettishly, "Drive carefully."

"I know, I know." Xu Wen agreed repeatedly.

For the rest of the journey, he did not do any dangerous actions and drove steadily all the way.

Xia Ning was still a little uneasy at first, but she gradually calmed down.

She found that although today was Xu Wen's first time driving on the road, he drove surprisingly steadily.

There were many red lights and various traffic conditions on the road, but he didn't even brake suddenly once, and the distance between him and the car in front was always just right.

Xia Ning didn’t know what it meant to be a good driver, but she felt very comfortable sitting in Xu Wen’s car.

Gradually, she began to tell Xu Wen what she wanted to say, unlike at the beginning when she was so nervous that she didn't dare to say a word.

When she first got in the car, she thought that no matter how badly Xu Wen drove, she would still believe in him and encourage him, but now it seems that there is no need for that at all.

After relaxing, Xia Ning began to enjoy the co-pilot seat, occasionally looking around and chatting with the person sitting in the driver's seat.

She talked about gossip about her high school classmates, saying who was dating who, and who started dating right after entering college.

"Did they talk about us?" Xu Wen asked curiously.

"Of course! But when they heard we were together, they all had an 'I knew it' attitude." Xia Ning's tone was a little proud.

Xu Wen recalled that before graduating from high school, classmates seemed to have spread rumors about them.

Now that the two are together, the rumors have been confirmed.

They continued chatting about other gossip, and just as they were talking excitedly, Xia Ning's phone rang.

Apple's basic ringtones always make people feel a little uneasy.

Xia Ning quickly took out her cell phone, answered the call after seeing the note, and then hung up with a series of "OK, OK, OK".

Xu Wen asked with concern: "Who is it?"

Xia Ning sighed softly: "My dad asked me if I had returned home and asked me to help deliver something. He said my mom didn't have time."

"Okay, I have nothing to do, I'll take you there." Xu Wen suggested.

Xia Ning originally thought that she would take a taxi after she got home and then take a taxi back.

He sighed because he had things to do when he got home and couldn't stick with Xu Wen anymore.

Hearing him say this, Xia Ning's first reaction was that she couldn't trouble him, as he probably wanted to go home and rest.

But then I thought, if I take Xu Wen's car, I can stay with him all the time, and we can go home together.

After thinking it through, she happily agreed: "Then it's settled!"

Xu Wen didn't expect that Xia Ning had just experienced such a struggle in her heart.

He just hadn't gotten over the novelty of the new car yet and wanted to drive around in this new car that belonged to him alone, so helping to deliver the things was just a side job.

The two of them hit it off immediately on this matter.

After the car arrived at the community, Xia Ning went upstairs to get something first, and soon she returned to the car with a file bag.

The bag is bulging and looks really mysterious.

Xu Wen secretly wondered whether there were secrets and plans about the upper class contained in this book, and if any of them were leaked, it would make an ordinary person rich instantly.

But these are just wild guesses.

There wasn't even a seal on the file bag, and it was Xia Ning who delivered it, so it definitely wasn't something important.

Xu Wen stopped thinking about other things and drove on the road.

In this age without navigation, if he wanted to find Xia Ning's father's workplace, he could only rely on her for directions.

His car has a built-in navigation system, but this antique is really inconvenient and he doesn't want to use it.

Fortunately, Xia Ning was a good guide and she pointed out every path very clearly.

Xu Wen finally stopped in front of an office building. He looked up and saw a long string of words written on it. Usually everyone called this place the "Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau."

"You go and take her there. I'll find a parking place to wait for you." Xu Wen unlocked the door.

Places like the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau are very busy every day, crowded with people coming to do business. Looking around, there was no way to park on the roadside, so he could only drive far away to look for a spot.

"Wait for me here." Xia Ning said, then opened the car door and got out. Under Xu Wen's gaze, she walked towards the security guard not far away.

The old man originally had a serious look on his face and an attitude that said "no strangers allowed", but when he saw Xia Ning, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

Xu Wen didn't know what the two men said, but after their brief exchange, the old man actually waved at him and opened the gate to the courtyard.

He was a little confused, but still drove the car inside obediently. After all, there was really no parking space outside.

When the car drove to Xia Ning, Xu Wen heard her say, "I'm leaving, Uncle Li," and then he opened the door and got in.

"Let's go inside. There are plenty of parking spaces." She pointed ahead.

"Do you know each other?" Xu Wen asked curiously.

"I used to help my dad deliver things, and I would see him every time." Xia Ning explained while looking for a parking space.

The yard is much more spacious than outside and there are many empty parking spaces.

Xu Wen didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, there are only two possible results: Xia Ning's father is an old man here and everyone knows him, or he holds a very high position here.

Judging from the old man's somewhat flattering attitude just now, Xu Wen tends to believe the latter.

After finding a parking space, Xia Ning took the file bag, opened the door and got out of the car: "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Anyway, there was a parking space now, so Xu Wen was not in a hurry. He waved his hand, then put down the seat and started playing with his mobile phone.

He opened Yang Yiyao's Weibo again and kept scrolling through it.

Although he had already decided on his route, he found that being an internet celebrity was not that easy.

For example, he hasn’t figured out what to post on Weibo for the first time, so he can only find inspiration from Yang Yiyao’s successful experience.

The only thing I have prepared now is my Weibo account, with the ID nickname “W Wenxuechang”.

Why use this name?

Because both "Senior W" and "Senior Wen" are taken.

Xu Wen was thinking about creative ideas and did not notice the time passing. He did not know when the passenger door was suddenly opened.

He thought it was Xia Ning who came back. Just as he was about to get up, he turned around and saw the face of a middle-aged man.

"Hello, uncle." Xu Wen quickly sat up and greeted Xia Hai with a smile.

While he was talking, he was still adjusting the seat. Unfortunately, the seat was electrically adjustable and could only rise slowly, making the atmosphere even more awkward. If he had known earlier, he should have bought a low-end model.

"I'm just about to go home, please take me back." Xia Hai said with a serious expression.

This was not an inquiry but a notification, because he sat down directly after he finished speaking.

Xu Wen had no choice but to respond: "Okay."

Xia Ning followed closely behind, opened the door and sat in the back seat.

As soon as she came up, she asked, "Dad, isn't your car parked at the office?"

"No more gas." Xia Hai said concisely.

The lie was a very crude one, but he told it in all seriousness.

"If you're out of gas, just go and fill it up! You're not planning on leaving the car for a week, are you?" Xia Ning asked again. She didn't understand her father's behavior at all.

Just now when they were upstairs, he asked her directly how she got here and whether she came in a boy's car.

Xia Ning silently complained about Uncle Li's big mouth and was thinking about how to answer when he continued to ask if it was Xu Wen.

Finally he asked again, whose car was Xu Wen driving, his own car or his family’s car?

Having said this, Xia Ning said without hesitation, "It's Xu Wen. He just bought a new car."

Since that night at the military training party, the relationship between the two has gradually stabilized.

She felt that it would be okay to let her parents know their secret now.

What's more, her mother has already agreed and even offered to give her "that thing".

After Xia Ning finished speaking, Xia Hai made a very strange move.

He stopped what he was doing and asked Xu Wen to take him home, and she couldn't stop him.

"I won't be using the car on vacation, so it's okay to leave it here." Xia Hai still made the excuse very seriously.

When Xia Ning wanted to say something else, Xu Wen interrupted her: "Let's go, uncle. I'll take you home."

After saying this, he started the car.

If Xu Wen couldn't see such an obvious hint, he would be a fool.

Many older people like to test a person’s character by the quality of his cars and drinks.

For these two things, driving requires a person to be highly concentrated, and drinking will paralyze a person's nerves and easily expose one's true nature.

For example, a usually gentle person may become road rage when driving or act crazy when drinking.

Although Xu Wen and Xia Ning did not acknowledge their relationship in front of their parents.

But parents are all experienced people and may be able to see their little thoughts at a glance, but they just don’t think of exposing them.

Xia Hai usually doesn't talk much at home, it's always He Shujin who talks alone.

Xu Wen thought he had no objection to the two of them being together.

But now it seems that it’s not that there are no opinions, it’s just that the test has just begun.

Maybe this father-in-law who doesn't talk much will be more difficult to deal with than the mother-in-law who is a lawyer.

Now that the test has come upon him, he should face it with grace.

When the car drove to the door, the security guard appeared again and came out to see us off in person.

Seeing that he wanted to say something, Xu Wen lowered the driver's window.

The old man looked flattered, and then his face was full of smiles: "Director Xia, you have worked hard. I wish you a happy National Day in advance!"

As he spoke, the barrier rose up.

Xu Wen suppressed his surprise and turned to look at Xia Hai who was sitting in the passenger seat.

He nodded and said, "You are happy too."

"Director Xia, take care!" Uncle Li kept waving his hands.

Xu Wen ignored the security guard. He closed the car window and drove out of the yard.

His guess just now was very accurate.

Judging from the security guard’s attitude towards Xia Ning, Xia Hai’s position here should be quite high, at least a small leader.

But Xu Wen didn't expect that he was not only a small leader, but also the top leader, and the top leader of such a powerful department.

In a place like Dongda University, even if Gu Hong saw him, he would have to politely say "Hello, Director".

Xu Wen had come into contact with many rich people in his previous life, but this was the first time he had come into contact with this type of person.

Xia Hai is usually a low-key person, so you can't tell at all.

When Xu Wen was shocked, the passenger in the passenger seat said, "Drive carefully and don't be nervous."
