Is This Your Car?

"What the hell? He's andsome and rich?"

"Oh my goodness, life is really not fair."

They thought Arthur was just another Internet celebrity who lined up to take photos with the car, but it turned out that he was the owner of the car. Everyone present was bewildered beyond words.

There were even a few Internet celebrities approaching Arthur and flirting with him. "Hello handsome, are you in need of a girlfriend? I'm available."

Arthur took a step back and looked at Williams helplessly. "Hey Will, can you help me put the things in the trunk."

"Oh, of course." Williams came back to his senses after being called by Arthur. He nodded mechanically and helped him to carry the items to the back of the sports car.

"The trunk is on the side." Arthur hurriedly reminded Williams.

Williams followed Arthur and put the luggage into the trunk. Then he came to his senses and gave Arthur a thumbs up. "Arthur, you are really a guy who hides his true colors. You usually keep quiet, but now you own a sports car like this?"

"Come on, it's just a car." Arthur smiled modestly.

The group of colleagues standing not far away had different expressions.

Jillian's face turned as red as a monkey's butt. He looked at Arthur who was standing next to the fiery red Pagani and didn't dare to say anything more.

He thought Arthur was a poor boy, but it turned out that he was a low-key rich guy. When he thought back to what he had said in the office, he felt as if he had been slapped countless times in the face, making him dizzy.

In Arthur's eyes, he was just a clown who was not worthy of being on same stage with him.

Unlike Jillian's embarrassment, Michelle's eyes were frighteningly bright. She never thought that Arthur was actually a rich guy.

She had a big dream. She always felt that with the level of her beauty, she was worthy of a rich husband like Wade Darrell, the top wealthy business tycoon in the country. However, she had never had the opportunity to meet someone like Wade Darrell, which had prevented her from displaying her charm.

But now, there was a rich second-generation hiding next to her, she must seize the opportunity. She paused and murmured to herself. "He's obviously a rich guy, why did he pretend to be a poor boy before? Was it because of her? Yes, it must be because of her."

Michelle was energized and quickly took out a makeup mirror from her makeup bag. She looked at herself and made sure that there was no problem with her makeup. Then she walked over to Arthur.

"Arthur, so you have been hiding your identity all this time?" While speaking, Michelle pulled down her clothes, showing her cleavage clearly in front of Arthur. "This car is so beautiful, can you take me for a drive?" 

What kind of perfume was Michelle wearing? It was just too pungent.

Arthur sneezed because of the fragrance on Michelle. He turned around and looked at Williams. "Thanks, Will. Dinner on me tonight."

"Okay." Williams nodded in agreement. Since his rich friend invited him to dinner, why would he reject such offer.

Seeing that Arthur ignored her and took two steps away from her, Michelle felt a little disappointed. But when she thought about her past sarcasm towards Arthur, she understood something.

Arthur must have been testing her before, but she didn't pass the test, so Arthur was now sad. But that was in the past. She would not hurt him again. She wanted to prove herself with actions and win his heart. 

So, she smiled brightly and walked diligently to the trunk to see if she could help with anything. But Arthur quickly pushed her away.

Seeing that his beautiful goddess was trying to court Arthur, Jillian's face became more and more gloomy. He gritted his teeth but remained silent.

When his colleagues heard that Arthur was going to treat Williams to dinner tonight, they all ran to Arthur and began to flatter him shamelessly.

"Hey Arthur, I've long felt that you have the smell of a rich guy."

"Hey Arthur, since you bought a luxury car, you can also treat us to a meal, right?"

"Yes, yes, we are all friends, rich guy, please treat us to something good!"

These colleagues who were making a fuss all had a good relationship with Arthur, so Arthur smiled and agreed, and quietly moved a little further away from Michelle. "Okay, let's go to the nearby restaurant for dinner tonight."

Jillian's face turned red, then white, then black, and finally he sighed deeply.

Where as, Michelle was smiling happily. She believed Arthur must have invited all his colleagues to dinner just for her. So, she planned to dress up nicely and capture Arthur's heart tonight.

After making an appointment with everyone for dinner, Arthur drove out of the company parking lot and moved his items to the rented house.

When going upstairs, he met the landlady who was having a tense face. Being in good mood, he greeted her and asked. "Mrs. Barkley, what's wrong with you?"

The landlady said sarcastically. "When you even have a car worth tens of millions, why do you still live in my house?"

"Sorry about that, Mrs. Barkley. I forgot to tell you." Arthur slapped his head hard after hearing what the landlord said. "I'm moving out tomorrow, so I won't renew my lease."

After mocking Arthur for living in her house, Arthur turned it around and decided to move out. 

So, the landlady felt a pain in her heart. She tried hard to get back on track. "You bought a house?"

Although he didn't have a house now, he believed he should have one the next day. So, Arthur nodded: "Yeah."

"What kind of house did you buy?" The landlady continued to ask. "You know, a good house is not easy to buy. My son rented a big villa as a studio a few days ago. He said that he could only buy a big villa after saving money for a few years. Why didn't save money to a big villa later too?"

Arthur recalled the house model in the gold miner system, and was a little unsure what kind of house the system would give him, so he just shook his head. "I can't compare to your son, Mrs. Barkley. So I bought an ordinary house."

"Then you have to work hard." The landlady straightened her back again. "By the way, I remember you have a lot of stuff to move. Can I ask my son to help you to move your things tomorrow?"

Arthur didn't expect that the landlady would want to see what kind of house he bought so that he could laugh at him. He thought about the pitifully small trunk of the Pagani and thought it would be a good thing if someone could help carry the luggage, so he said without hesitation. "Of course, I'll appreciate that. Thank you."

After talking with his landlord, Arthur walked into the room and lay down on the bed to rest. Remembering that he invited his former colleagues to dinner tonight, Arthur quickly booked a private section in the big restaurant near the company.

After he had some free time, He called his parents.

"Mom, how is Dad's health now?" Arthur asked with concern.

"Your father is in good health now." His mother lowered her voice and asked Arthur anxiously, "The doctor just told me that you paid several thousands for his medical expenses. Son, I know you meant well, but I have to ask you where you got all the money from."

Arthur had expected his mother to question the source of the medical payments, so he told her what he had prepared in advance. "Mom, didn't I save young girl the other day. Her family is extremely rich family. They asked me what I would like them to do for me. So, I asked them for money and they lent it to me. They said it's okay if I can't afford to pay it back."

His mother was shocked and curious. "No way, how can they just give you hundred thousand dollar?"

"Mom, isn't human life more important than money?" Arthur quickly corrected his mother's thoughts.

“Yea, I know…” She nodded hesitantly, but then she immediately thought of something and warned Arthur sternly. “But you don’t need to be going around saving people for money in the future. If something happens to you, how will your father and I live?”

Although his mother's tone was fierce, Arthur still felt warm in his heart when he heard it. He replied gently. "Mom, I understand."

Arthur chatted with his mother for a while about recent developments, saying that he was starting a business with a few friends and things would be going well from then on.

"Okay, Mom, you take a rest first. Now that your son is working hard for money, if you feel tired, hire a house help to take care of you. Please, don't work too hard." After talking to his mother, Arthur hung up the phone.

Just when Arthur was planning to buy a plane ticket to go back and see his parents in two days, his phone suddenly vibrated again.

"Hello." Arthur answered the phone. "Hello?"

There was a burst of rapid breathing from the other end of the receiver.

Just when Arthur thought it was probably a prank call and was about to hang up, the person on the other end of the phone finally spoke. "Arthur, save me."
