Chapter Thirty-Five: You're My Second Uncle

  The warm sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and fell on the bed, casting a dappled, shimmering light on Wu Tian's body.

  Wu Tian covered his eyes from the sunlight with his hand, turned over, glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and continued to sleep.

  Eight o'clock?

  Wu Tianmeng opened his eyes and sat up in bed. For someone who starts work at 8:30, this was already late. With Beijing's traffic, half an hour wasn't enough time to get anywhere.

  "It's strange, why didn't the mother-in-law come today?" Wu Tian muttered to himself while getting dressed. When he walked out of the room, he saw Chen Chen eating breakfast in the kitchen. "Why didn't you call me? Want to see me docked pay, huh?"

  Chen Chen put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up expressionlessly, turned around and walked into the room. Before long, he picked up his bag and left home, from start to finish, not only did he not speak, but he didn't even look at Wu Tian, completely treating Wu Tian as a non-existent person.

  "What's going on here?" Wu Tian stared at the tightly closed door, stunned. Not even a greeting? No breakfast to entice him? And not even clearing the dinner table, this wasn't Mother Nightwalker's style.

  Suddenly, Wu Tian thought of what happened last night and felt relieved. With an indifferent attitude, she expressed the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart. For Chen Chen, who was repetitive and unpredictable, such a reaction was also normal.

  Wu Tian smiled, this was exactly the result he wanted, but he didn't know what attitude Chen Chen would use to treat Jingyun. Wu Tian had been preparing to comfort Jingyun at any moment.

  Rushing into the bathroom, washing up and putting on clothes before rushing downstairs at a speed three times faster than a wild dog. The subway is already too late, thinking that there is still a mouthful of oil in the Beetle in the parking lot, it should be able to hold out until the company, so rush into the parking lot, looking at the car covered with a layer of dust, and some naughty kid even wrote on the hood: It's not that I don't wash my car, I'm just waiting for rain.

  Wu Tian drove out of the neighborhood, and all the way he didn't dare to step on the accelerator, afraid that the oil would be used up too quickly and he wouldn't make it to the company, stopping in the middle of the street. Those who knew him thought he was in a hurry and had no time to refuel, while those who didn't know him thought he was intentionally causing trouble for the people of the capital.

  It was going smoothly at first, but after driving halfway, I encountered a red light, and basically everyone was running at a uniform speed. However, after leaving the North Third Ring Road, it started to be stop-and-go, like an old cow pulling a cart. Wu Tian pressed the horn frantically, opened the window to scold people, spat out saliva, gave the middle finger... He used every method that could facilitate traffic, but none of them worked. He had no choice but to use his superb driving skills, combined with the characteristics of the Beetle itself, to recklessly weave through the traffic. As for what kind of mess he left behind, it wasn't something he cared about; his main goal was to see which idiot dared to block him from the front.

  After a lot of twists and turns, the culprit was finally found. A BMW in front was driving very slowly, occupying one lane, causing cars behind it on the same lane to turn into the adjacent lane, resulting in congestion.

  Wu Tian is a man with a strong sense of justice, seeing such a phenomenon, the first thing he thought of was to rush over and severely condemn it, and at the same time spit on the opponent's car window. But when he approached the BMW and saw the license plate clearly, he realized that it was Chen Chen's car.

  What is she doing? She's not satisfied herself and now she's going to take it out on the people of the whole city? This is too much!

  Wu Tian chased up, alongside Chen Chen, first honking the horn twice, then opening the window and shouting loudly, "Chen Chen, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and drive, don't block the road!"

  Chen Chen slightly turned her head, and when she saw Wu Tian driving, she was taken aback for a moment. The apathetic expression reappeared on her face, which had originally been lost in thought.

  "Stop pretending to be cool, look at how congested it is behind! You...!"

  Wu Tian's words were not yet finished, Chen Chen suddenly accelerated, and the car threw Wu Tian behind. Just as Wu Tian thought his speech was effective and made a contribution to the traffic in Beijing, Chen Chen's car turned aside and entered his lane, and the car suddenly stopped.

  Wu Tian slammed on the brakes, and although he was wearing a seatbelt, his butt still left the seat. Wu Tian broke out in a cold sweat, if he hadn't reacted quickly, they would have crashed by now.

  My god, is this woman crazy?

  Just as Wu Tian was about to overtake, Chen Chen's car started moving slowly forward and also turned into Wu Tian's lane, blocking the way. Although she didn't stop this time, her speed was really too slow, and at this rate, Wu Tian would definitely be late.

  Really?

  Wu Tian furrowed his brow, took out his mobile phone and dialed Chen Chen's number. After two rings, a voice came on: Sorry, the user you are calling is currently in a call...!

  Did you hang up?

  Wu Tian looked at his phone and then at the car in front of him. Was this revenge? Apart from that, Wu Tian couldn't think of any other reason to explain it.

  It seems that last night's incident had a great impact on her! Wu Tian thought to himself. The corners of his mouth curved upwards, revealing a smile, the effect was even better than he had imagined, Chen Chen had already lost her usual calmness and was actually throwing a tantrum like a child. Wu Tian saw another side of Chen Chen again.

  Think you can stop me? No way!

  Wu Tian smiled slightly and turned the steering wheel sharply to the right, turning onto the right lane. Just as he was about to step on the gas pedal to overtake Chen Chen, the BMW suddenly swerved again and blocked his way. Wu Tian tried several times but failed to overtake him each time, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Being late wasn't a joke, after all, it would cost him money.

  "Let's have some fun, old man!" Wu Tian sneered, continuously steering the wheel in an 'S' shape between the two lanes, his eyes fixed intently on Chen Chen's car ahead, searching for a chance to overtake.

  "Drip, drip, drip, drip~~~~!"

  The surrounding car horns sounded continuously, apparently expressing strong dissatisfaction with Wu Tian and Chen Chen's actions. If the car horn could be converted into human language, I believe that dirty words like "nerve disease" and "X you two grandfathers" would definitely flow continuously, one after another. Some drivers who overtook from other lanes deliberately lowered their windows and stretched out their middle fingers to express the dissatisfaction in people's hearts. However, Wu Tian and Chen Chen seemed not to have seen it at all, continuing to block and overtake each other, speeding up during the rush hour.

  At this time, for Wu Tian, whether he was late or had his wages deducted was no longer important. The key thing was that there was a breath stuck in his heart, and if he didn't surpass Chen Chen, this breath would never come out.

  The tires screeched against the ground, making a sharp, ear-piercing sound.

  "Opportunity!"

  In the constant twists and turns, Wu Tian finally found an opportunity. He seized the moment and stepped on the accelerator fiercely. Just as he was about to catch up with half a car body, a Jeep suddenly turned into the next lane, and Wu Tian immediately slowed down, falling behind Chen Chen again.

  "Your second uncle!" Wu Tian stuck his neck out of the window and loudly cursed at the car in front.

  The Jeep's window opened, and a hand stretched out from inside, giving the middle finger, then drove away with a swagger. Immediately afterwards, Wu Tian saw a fist sticking out of the BMW window, with the little finger raised.

  "Grass!"

  "Block me and die!"

  Wu Tian was furious and floored it, with the Beetle rushing straight into the BMW's rear end.

  "Boom!"

  "Poke your butt and make you arrogant!"

  Perhaps startled, the BMW suddenly accelerated and was no longer driving slowly as before.

  "Think you can run? No way! Today I'll make your life a mess!" Wu Tian's eyes were fixed tightly on the car in front, his face revealing a manic laugh.

  Beijing's traffic is like this. Slow and you'll be scolded. Fast, but can't speed up. So even though Wu Tian drives a Beetle, it's already sufficient on Beijing's main roads.

  The Beetle was getting closer and closer to the BMW, and Wu Tian's smile on his face grew brighter. Just as he was about to launch another attack at the opponent's chrysanthemum, the car slowed down more and more, finally stopping in the middle of the road with a jerk.

  Watching the BMW getting farther and farther away, Wu Tian slammed his hand heavily on the steering wheel.

  "Grass!"

  Out of gas!
