Chapter 1026: Chapter 1025: 1025: Uninvited Guest!

Chu Liyuan watched as Molly was brought in by Jian Dan, his brow furrowing slightly, but since she was Jian Jian’s friend, he didn’t say anything. Turning around, he went upstairs, changed his clothes, and headed straight for the office.

“Did you come to see me this early in the morning for a reason?” Jian Dan wasn’t the least bit curious about how she knew where she lived!

She knew even more private matters, so of course, it was impossible for her not to know her address.

“Can you take me in for a few nights?” Molly asked bluntly.

“Huh?”

“I have nowhere to go!” Molly said, looking pitifully at Jian Dan.

“What do you mean? Where have you been staying before this?”

“A hotel, but I’ve almost run out of money, so I can’t stay in a hotel anymore. Don’t worry, I’ll only stay for three days at most. There’s a car race in three days. If I win the prize money, I’ll leave!”

“Why don’t you go home?”

“Why are you so hesitant? Just tell me if it’s okay or not?” When Jian Dan mentioned her home, Molly’s expression clearly soured.

“Of course, it’s no problem for you to stay here, but…”

“That’s fine, nothing else! Which room can I stay in?”

“Uncle Zhang, please take her to the guest room!” Jian Dan certainly couldn’t leave such a young lass alone outside!

This lass and the Uncle didn’t get along very well, but their schedules were quite different, so Molly and the Uncle didn’t cross paths in the three days she stayed at Li Garden.

“Are you going to the race tonight?” Molly got up around noon.

“Yeah!”

“I’ll come with you tonight!” Jian Dan was a little worried about her going alone late at night.

“What? Don’t you trust me?” Molly saw through Jian Dan’s thoughts in an instant.

“I obviously just want to watch the race, don’t flatter yourself!”

“Ha, if you’re worried, just say so! What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“Just eat your food!”

That evening, Jian Dan and Molly went to the car racing venue together.

It was only after Jian Dan arrived that she realized it was the same place where she had raced with Zimo last time.

“You can look around first; I’m going to get ready.”

“Okay!”

Jian Dan wandered around for a while and, not seeing Molly coming back, started to get worried. Just as she was about to look for her, she saw Molly returning—but she was cradling one hand with the other.

“What happened?”

“I was sabotaged!”

“Is your hand okay?”

“It’s nothing serious, but I probably can’t drive today!”

“Oh! It’s good that it’s nothing serious. If you can’t compete today, then just race another day!”

“No way!” Molly looked sternly at Jian Dan.

“No way? Why not?”

“Because today’s contract is binding!”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

“If I back out of today’s race, it won’t just be about paying money. My hand could really get ruined!”

“It’s just a race, right? Why would you sign that kind of contract?” Jian Dan couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“It’s too late for that. If my hand hadn’t been injured, today would have been a sure win!”

“So what now? Can someone substitute for you?”

“I don’t know anyone here who would replace me,” Molly said with a bitter smile.

“Got it, you can find someone to help!” Jian Dan called Qiu Zimo for help.

But the call kept being forwarded to voicemail…

“Are you ready yet?

Ouch, what’s with your hand? Can you still race like that?” A sleazy-looking man walked up to them.

“Don’t worry, I can still beat you with just one hand!”

“Then I shall wait and see!”

The man left, leering at Molly.

“Can you really do it?”

“Of course… not anymore!”

“Can you not gasp for air?” Jian Dan complained. “Are there really no other options?”

“I just have to bite the bullet and go for it!” Molly said, laughing.

Jian Dan closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. “There’s one more way!”

“What way?”

“I’ll replace you!”

“You? Don’t joke alright? You don’t even have a driver’s license. You replacing me, what a joke!”

“This track is very dangerous; there’s a turn that’s particularly treacherous. A slight mistake could cost your life! If I replace you, there might still be a chance!”

“Are you sure?”

Jian Dan nodded firmly at Molly!

“Fine! I’m with you!”

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“You’re going this far for me; of course, I can’t chicken out!”

“But if something happens today, you cannot be with Meng Ran anymore!”

“Then I guess that means Meng Ran and I aren’t meant to be! But you, you still have Chu Li to think about!”

“You think I want to? But if we don’t race, we may both not be able to leave tonight!” Although both were skilled, facing multiple opponents, especially with Molly injured, was different.
