Chapter 2677: Please Check the Brakes Carefully

The windows of the car broke from the impact. The cracks made it impossible for Ning Shu to see outside.

Ning Shu’s body slammed forward from inertia. Her forehead slammed against the steering wheel.

Only the airbag saved her from serious injury.

The car was done for. The front of the car was beyond recognition.

Ning Shu rubbed her forehead. She had survived without any injury, only a little dizziness.

If Professor Ai had been the one driving, though, this wouldn’t have been the case.

Soon, the police arrived. A tow truck towed the car away. Ning Shu told them, “Please check the brakes carefully. Why didn’t they work?”

Ning Shu went to the police station to make a statement and pay compensation for the damages she caused.

After all, she had destroyed public facilities and caused a traffic jam.

Ning Shu went to the car repair shop and asked the mechanic to check the car and find out the reason why the brakes didn’t work.

The mechanic did so and told Ning Shu that the brakes were worn out.

Worn out?

Ning Shu was puzzled.

The mechanic showed Ning Shu the brake cables, which were relatively old. It looked as if they had snapped from friction.

“How much have you been driving to wear out the brakes so much?”

Ning Shu nodded. “Huh. They really are worn out.”

Considering the car was practically broken now, it naturally couldn’t be used anymore. Ning Shu decided to sell it as scrap metal. When she had the money, she’d buy a new car for Professor Ai.

Ning Shu stuffed the brake cables into her bag.

After she left the repair shop, Ning Shu received a call from Cheng Fei. He asked why Ning Shu hadn’t come; did something happen?

Ning Shu took a taxi and went to the coffee shop.

The taxi soon stopped in front of the coffee shop. Ning Shu pushed open the door and quickly found Cheng Fei.

Cheng Fei’s handsome face made him stand out from the crowd.

Cheng Fei stood up when he saw Ning Shu. When Ning Shu came towards him, he pulled out a chair for her.

He was ever the gentleman.

Ning Shu sat down. She looked at him and asked, “Have you ever studied abroad?”

Cheng Fei shook his head. “No. Why do you ask?”

“You have very good manners, so it just crossed my mind,” Ning Shu said.

“I only treat you and family like this,” Cheng Fei said.

Ning Shu: …

Cheng Fei was such a master at seduction.

He said romantic things like this without missing a beat.

“How are Mom and Dad?” Cheng Fei asked.

“They’re great,” Ning Shu said with a smile.

“What happened to your forehead? Why is it red?” Cheng Fei stood up and reached out to touch Ning Shu’s forehead.

Ning Shu leaned back to avoid Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei’s hand froze in the air as he looked at her with a sad expression.

“Ai Yun, I made one mistake. Can’t you forgive me for it?” Cheng Fei withdrew his hand and sat back down, leaning back and away from Ning Shu. “How can I earn your forgiveness?”

Ning Shu waved her hand. “You know as well as I do that I am insane, right? I go crazy enough to even kill myself. You sure you want to live with me?”

“I even crashed my dad’s car into the guardrail for no reason just now, when I was driving,” Ning Shu spread her hands and said. “It was like I was possessed.”

Cheng Fei immediately asked, “Are you alright?”

“I am. After the whole thing happened, I just seemed to snap out of it.” Ning Shu stared closely at Cheng Fei.

How could the Ai family’s car have brakes that were so worn out?

Professor Ai lived on the campus. He usually walked to his classroom.

Would Mother Ai drive a car when she wanted to buy groceries? It was hard to park in the vegetable market.

The car was rarely driven and was mostly just left parked in the parking space. How could the brakes be so worn out?
