I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 112 The First Conflict
Li Yajie drove the Mercedes-Benz E300 carefully and slowly on the road, not much faster than an electric car.

Li Xu sat in the passenger seat, looking at Li Yajie who was concentrating on driving, and then at the scenery outside the car window. Gradually, he felt a little sleepy, so he leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes, and planned to take a nap.

"Don't sleep!" Li Yajie turned around and noticed, and couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong?" Li Xu opened his eyes again.

"Please stay with me for a while. If you fall asleep, I will feel very uneasy driving alone." Li Yajie said with a slightly coquettish tone.

"Okay, then I won't sleep and will stay with you." Li Xu said with a smile, then yawned.

"Didn't you get enough rest last night?" Li Yajie looked at him again and asked.

"A little bit." Li Xu said with a smile.

"How about I play a song to wake you up?" Li Yajie said as she was about to turn on the car player while driving.

"Stop playing music, why don't we chat?" Li Xu suggested.

"What are you talking about?" Li Yajie was driving intently.

"Senior, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Just asking casually."

"No, I'm so busy, how can I have time to find a boyfriend?"

……

The two of them chatted with each other, and time passed by little by little without them noticing.

More than an hour later, Li Yajie drove back to Xianlin University Town. After entering the campus through the north gate, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "I'm finally back!"

This Mercedes-Benz felt pretty good to drive, but it also made her nervous all the way, fearing that she would accidentally scratch the car.

After all, the insurance for a new car doesn’t take effect until the early hours of the next morning, so if there’s a collision, it’ll be troublesome.

"Where do we park the car?" Li Yajie turned and asked Li Xu.

"There's a parking lot over there, just park there." Li Xu pointed to the parking lot in front of the library not far away.

Li Yajie turned the steering wheel and drove towards the library. When she arrived at the parking lot, she did not reverse into the parking space directly, but stopped the car first.

"Don't just sit there, get down and help me watch. This parking space is so narrow, I'm afraid we'll hit the car next to us." She said to Li Xu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

After the two of them got to know each other, she spoke more casually and no longer tried to maintain the image of a gentle senior.

Li Xu smiled, opened the car door, got out, and stood aside to direct Li Yajie to reverse.

However, before the car backed into the parking space, Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni were seen walking out of the library with backpacks on their backs and books in their arms.

Guan Jiayu saw Li Xu directing the car to reverse and asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Then, her eyes fell on the brand new Mercedes-Benz E300 beside her. "Whose car is this? Could it be yours?"

Jiang Jingni, who was standing next to her, was also attracted by the Mercedes-Benz E300.

Even if you don’t know the specific model, everyone knows the iconic Mercedes-Benz trident logo. The car looks so grand and luxurious, and it looks very expensive at first glance.

"Yes, I just bought it today." Li Xu nodded to Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni.

"You are really amazing. You can drive a Mercedes-Benz so quickly." Jiang Jingni said with a smile in surprise and surprise.

"This Mercedes-Benz must cost hundreds of thousands, right?" Guan Jiayu couldn't help but say.

Although they all knew that Li Xu's monthly royalties were 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, his novels had only been on the shelves for a month or two. How could he have enough money to buy a Mercedes-Benz so soon?

"It's about right, a little over 700,000." Li Xu said casually.

He was not showing off intentionally, but the Mercedes-Benz E300 is quite well-known in China and anyone who knows a little about cars can recognize it.

Seven hundred thousand?
Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni were both shocked when they heard this.

Although they guessed that this Mercedes-Benz must be very expensive, they didn't expect it to be so expensive.

In this era, the Mercedes-Benz E300 is almost equivalent to a Porsche or Ferrari worth more than two million yuan a decade later. For ordinary college students, it is simply an unattainable luxury.

At this time, Li Yajie also parked the car, pushed open the door and got out of the driver's seat.

"Senior?" Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni were both surprised to see Li Yajie getting out of the Mercedes-Benz.

"Are you two going to the library to review?" Li Yajie greeted them with a smile.

Then she explained, "Li Xu doesn't know how to drive yet, so he asked me to help drive the car back."

Li Xu has a girlfriend and she doesn't want to cause any misunderstandings.

"You don't know how to drive yet?" Guan Jiayu looked at Li Xu in surprise.

It is hard to understand why he bought such an expensive Mercedes-Benz when he doesn’t even know how to drive.

"I bought this car for a purpose." Li Xu saw Guan Jiayu's confusion and gave a simple explanation.

Jiang Jingni walked over to the Mercedes-Benz, reached out and gently stroked the car body, and said with envy, "This car is really nice. I haven't ridden in such a nice car yet."

"If you like, let me take you all for a ride." Li Xu said with a smile.

Jiang Jingni's eyes flickered with excitement after hearing this, but she still shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's wait until you learn to drive, then take us for a ride."

Seeing the changes in Li Xu, she felt mixed emotions. When school started, Li Xu looked rustic and ordinary, just tall and good-looking.

Who would have thought that in just two or three months, he would become an online literary giant with a monthly income of three to four hundred thousand yuan. Not only did TV stations come to interview him, but now he even drives a Mercedes-Benz.

If she had known this would happen, she should have tried to interact more with Li Xu. Even if they couldn't be together for a long time, it would be nice to date for a while.

"Senior, we'll leave first." After chatting for a few more words, Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni said goodbye and left.

"Then I'll leave first." Li Yajie said to Li Xu as she watched Guan Jiayu and Jiang Jingni walk away.

"Here are the car keys." As she said that, she handed the car keys to Li Xu.

Li Xu didn't reach out to take it, but said to Li Yajie: "Senior sister, you've worked hard today, how about I treat you to a meal?"

For lunch, the two of them had a free buffet at the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership and the food was pretty good.

Seeing that Li Yajie was about to refuse, Li Xu smiled and said, "Don't refuse. I have something else to trouble you with later."

"What's the matter?" Li Yajie asked.

"We are shooting a video tonight and want to use this car as a prop, so we'd like to trouble you to be the driver again," Li Xu explained.

"Okay then, let's just have something to eat in the cafeteria." Li Yajie hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

However, just as the two were about to go to the cafeteria, after taking a few steps, Li Xu's cell phone rang.

He answered the phone, chatted for a few words, and after hanging up, he said to Li Yajie apologetically, "Senior sister, I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do. How about I treat you to dinner next time?"

"It's Jiahui looking for you, so you should go over there quickly." Li Yajie said with an understanding smile.

Li Xu hadn't avoided her when he answered the phone just now. He vaguely heard a girl on the other end flirting with him. It must be Luo Jiahui. After parting with Li Yajie, Li Xu walked towards the dormitory.

When he arrived at Building 2, the girls' dormitory, he saw Luo Jiahui standing downstairs from a distance.

She was wearing a red woolen coat and delicate smoky makeup, and was dressed very beautifully. All the girls coming in and out of the building looked at her sideways.

Seeing Li Xu coming, Luo Jiahui immediately hurried over to him, took his arm affectionately, and said with a smug smile, "Do you know what I did today?"

"What are you going to do?" Li Xu replied casually.

"I went to the auto show." Luo Jiahui said with a smile.

Attending a car show?

Li Xu immediately realized what was happening. He looked Luo Jiahui up and down, his brows unconsciously furrowed. "Are you going to be a car model?"

He originally thought that she went to the auto show to look at cars, and never expected that she would become a car model.

"Yes, I'm a model now. You don't know this. There were so many people surrounding me at the auto show today taking pictures..."

Luo Jiahui was excited and kept talking until she noticed that Li Xu's face looked a little strange, then she stopped.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"Why didn't you discuss with me in advance if you wanted to be a car model?" Li Xu stared at her and said seriously, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone.

"I just want to give you a surprise. Aren't you happy to have a girlfriend who is a model?" Luo Jiahui was a little confused and a little aggrieved.

Li Xu's reaction was completely beyond her expectations. In her opinion, being a model was a very glamorous thing, and she didn't quite understand why Li Xu was unhappy.

Surprise? What a surprise.

Li Xu suppressed his anger and didn't want to argue with Luo Jiahui at the door of the girls' dormitory.

"Come on, let's go eat first."

Li Xu brought Luo Jiahui to the cafeteria and went straight to the stir-fry area on the third floor.

After the two sat down, Li Xu ordered a few dishes at random.

"What's wrong with you? I just went to be a car model. I didn't do anything bad." Luo Jiahui pouted and said coquettishly.

Li Xu had a cold face all the way, so how could she not see that he was really angry.

Luo Jiahui seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said quickly:
"I see. Are you worried that I'll wear revealing clothes after becoming a car model? Don't worry, I know you're narrow-minded. I won't wear anything revealing. Just take a look and you'll see."

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone from her coat pocket, opened the photo album, found a video, and handed it to Li Xu.

Li Xu took the phone, clicked on the video and found that it was shot at the auto show.

In the video, Luo Jiahui is wearing a white mesh skirt and standing next to a burgundy Mercedes-Benz C260 with a confident smile on her face.

The skirt was past the knees, not even showing any of the shoulders, so it was indeed not revealing at all.

But Luo Jiahui didn't understand at all that this was not the most critical issue.

Li Xu returned the phone to Luo Jiahui and said in a deep voice, "Forget it this time, but don't do it again. Don't be a car model like this again."

"Why?" After hearing this, Luo Jiahui couldn't help but raise her voice, her face full of displeasure.

"Isn't the pocket money I give you enough for you to spend? You can't make much money as a car model, and you will be criticized. What's the point of doing it?" Li Xu said with a frown.

Don’t be fooled by the glamorous appearance of car models. In fact, their income is not as high as many people imagine.

A new model like Luo Jiahui only earns four or five hundred yuan a day by attending a car show, which is not even enough for a Western meal for the two of them.

"This is not about the money, I just like being a model. Don't object. At worst, I will report to you in advance every time I participate in an event. Is that not okay?" Luo Jiahui acted coquettishly and cutely in front of Li Xu, trying to convince him.

"Even if I don't agree, you still want to insist on being a model?" Li Xu stared at her and asked seriously.

"Oh, just agree to it. I'm just a part-time model. It's not a big deal."

Luo Jiahui paused, curled her lips, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "You and that Liu Xin, you even filmed a couple's video, so intimate, and I didn't say anything, can you stop being so hypocritical?"

"I'm hypocritical?"

Li Xu was so angry that he laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, then give me your wallet."

"What are you doing?" Luo Jiahui had a bad feeling in her heart and took out her wallet hesitantly.

"Give it to me and you'll know." Li Xu reached out and took the wallet from Luo Jiahui, found the three credit cards he had given her before, and took them all out.

"Since you want to be a car model so much, then make your own money in the future."

"Ah, what are you doing? Is it really necessary?" Seeing that Li Xu was going to confiscate her credit card, Luo Jiahui suddenly became anxious.

"As long as you promise me that you won't be a car model anymore, I will return these cards to you immediately." Li Xu said, shaking the bank cards in his hand.

Yes, he is a bit hypocritical, but the status of both parties is not equal, and Luo Jiahui is completely dependent on him financially.

If she wants to be independent, that's fine, as long as she stops using his card.

Luo Jiahui bit her lower lip, looking at Li Xu with a face full of grievance and unwillingness, "Are you threatening me with money? Fine, then take back all the cards. At worst, I won't spend your money and earn it myself, is that not okay?"

She said somewhat angrily.

Li Xu looked at Luo Jiahui and felt quite surprised. He really couldn't understand what she was thinking.

As a car model, she could only earn two to three thousand yuan a month at most, but she didn't even want her silver card with a credit limit of over ten thousand yuan.

Is it really that important to be in the spotlight?
"Okay, then." He had said everything he needed to say, and Li Xu didn't want to persuade him any further. After all, they were just boyfriend and girlfriend.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally left a card with a limit of 3,000 yuan to Luo Jiahui, and only kept the other two cards.

Luo Jiahui mistakenly thought that Li Xu had compromised, and her anger turned into joy in an instant. She smiled and said, "Husband, I knew you would support me."

Li Xu looked at her deeply and said somewhat listlessly, "Just don't regret it later."

Luo Jiahui has no idea what her choice today means.

Although the possibility of the two of them being together until the end was not great before, there was still a glimmer of hope.

As long as Luo Jiahui is more motivated and sensible, there is still a possibility that the two of them will get married in the future.

After all, Luo Jiahui is his first love and his first woman, and she holds a special position in his heart.

But now, she has completely destroyed this possibility with her own hands.

There is no way he would marry a model, let alone a small model, even a top star is not allowed.

If a billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions were to marry a model, he would become a laughing stock.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Luo Jiahui is too stupid. She simply can’t think that far.

If he told people now that he would become a top billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions, he would be laughed at.
