Chapter 1719: Chapter 701: The Divine Cars Gather

Magic City Recovery Park was founded in 1909, formerly known as the "Gu Family Residence Park" in the French Concession. It’s also the only park currently maintaining a French classical garden layout.

However, its fame is more about its location, which is Magic City’s undeniable "Diamond Level" core area. North is the fashion landmark "Huaihai Middle Road", east is the historic charm "Sinan Road", south is the arts gathering "Nanchang Road", and west is the classic district "South Shancheng Road".

This is Magic City’s most traditional downtown, and also its heart.

It’s roughly eight or nine o’clock now, and the sky has completely darkened, which is the time when the park is most crowded.

Citizens and tourists fill every corner of the park, enjoying the tranquility amidst the bustling city.

Due to policy restrictions and the usual atmosphere, there are few vendors or events held here. But at this moment, in a corner near the street, in front of a drink shop, there are some pedestrians gathered and pointing.

In the outdoor umbrella area of the drink shop, Song Rui, dressed fairly formally, has two cups of coffee on the table in front of him. He seems to have been waiting here for quite some time, occasionally raising his hand to glance at the Rolex watch on his wrist.

As the person he’s waiting for hasn’t appeared, out of curiosity, Song Rui also glanced at the area where the pedestrians gathered.

At the center of the pedestrians’ attention stood several men in suits resembling bodyguards. They were standing guard in front of a car covered with a black cloth, preventing anyone from approaching.

As for the car covered with a black cloth, although its exact model couldn’t be seen, from the shape of the cloth, it seemed to be a sports car.

The young men gathered on the periphery were discussing heatedly what kind of car it might be.

"San-zi, I bet you 100 that this isn’t a Lamborghini. Look at the shape of the rear; Lamborghinis don’t have this..."

"If it’s not a Lamborghini, then what is it? Look at the sharp front; I’m very familiar with it. This is definitely a Lamborghini, let’s bet!"

"Hey, I say you two are quite amusing. Earning a few thousand a month, can’t even afford a taillight, betting here about what kind of car this is. Is there a point?"

A nearby girl with a slight bourgeois style couldn’t listen anymore and lightly snorted.

The two boys blushed but didn’t give up the argument; they merely stepped aside quietly.

Song Rui watching this scene chuckled slightly. Although his family from Yangcheng wasn’t extremely wealthy, he had a basic level of knowledge and could roughly tell that under the black cloth was a Ferrari, though he wasn’t sure about the model, it definitely wasn’t one he’d seen before.

"Hi!"

At this moment, there was a slightly hesitant but rather pleasant greeting sound nearby.

Song Rui immediately turned his head and saw a beautiful girl standing by the coffee table without him noticing.

She had a neat ponytail, tall figure, distinct features, wearing a light-colored Chanel-style suit. Only a sleek leg wrapped in stockings was exposed, but the fitted style revealed her slender waist, straight legs, and the advantages of her curvy figure.

"Yiyi, long time no see."

Seeing Cheng Yiyi appear, a hint of complexity flashed in Song Rui’s eyes, but he quickly returned to calmness, "Sit down, please. I ordered a caramel macchiato for you... Uh, I remember you like this drink, right?"

"That was before. Now, I actually prefer American coffee."

Cheng Yiyi smiled gently and pulled out a chair to sit down, "But that’s okay, it’s nice to change flavors occasionally."

"Yiyi, how... have you been lately?"

Song Rui observed Cheng Yiyi and found her entire aura completely different from before, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint it. After hesitating, he opened his mouth to ask.

"What aspect are you referring to?"

Cheng Yiyi smiled, "If you’re asking about my ’illness,’ I’ve fully recovered. I’ve done many things I hadn’t done before and gone to places I hadn’t visited before. I even took my parents on a trip to Tibet Province..."

Seeing Cheng Yiyi didn’t mind discussing her past openly and smiling brightly, Song Rui revealed a genuine smile.

"I was slightly worried when I couldn’t reach you before, but hearing you say this now makes me feel relieved."

"I changed my phone number and don’t really use the previous WhatsApp anymore. I just happened to see your message. I’m actually planning to find a job in Magic City, so..."

Cheng Yiyi explained.

"Why find a job in Magic City?"

Song Rui asked slightly puzzled, "Even if you can’t do your previous job anymore, it’s still more convenient in Yangcheng. We’re both born and raised there, and maybe I can even help you out."

Due to psychological issues, Cheng Yiyi had been dismissed by the airline, which Song Rui was aware of. Cheng Yiyi’s family was relatively ordinary, and Song Rui indeed felt he could offer some help.

"Because his company is also here."

Cheng Yiyi said with a smile.

Song Rui was taken aback.

Even though he had a hunch, he didn’t expect Cheng Yiyi to express it so bluntly.

"You..."

"Song Rui, there’s no need to advise me. I know what I’m doing."

Cheng Yiyi said calmly, "As he mentioned, we’re all adults now, responsible for each of our choices. I don’t plan to bother him anymore, just knowing I’m in the same city as him makes me feel a lot more at ease..."
