Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Compensation?

***

Teacher Luo mentioned she had a car.

But she didn’t say that what she owned was actually a luxury car!

The place where little Yueye rented was a rental apartment in a quiet alley, rather dilapidated from years without maintenance, and there was an incongruous matte gray Porsche Panamera parked downstairs.

Lin Yueye never had the chance to get close to luxury cars, but having once been a boy, she at least had some basic understanding and aspirations about car models, thinking that if she ever had money, she would spend 200,000 yuan to buy a Xiaomi brand electric car, which looked super cool.

However, before she could earn 200,000, she couldn’t even save 2,000 before she was gone.

Luo Yahan opened the door of this million-yuan coupe at the back seat, her flat shoes stepping on the cement ground, turning back to remind Lin Yueye and Lin Lebing who were standing stupidly at the door, already changed into large and small white dresses.

Her expression calm, words concise.

“Get in.”

“Can… can we get in?”

“If you feel it’s beneath you, you can take a taxi there yourselves.”

“No need! Lebing, get in quickly.”

Luo Yahan rarely made a cold joke.

Although she herself didn’t think it was funny either, at least it could help them feel less tense and guarded.

Luo Yahan watched as these two girls, one big and one small, climbed into the car with rather inexperienced postures. She didn’t care much about other things, just their clothes… were they bought from the same brand?

It wasn’t exactly matching outfits, there were differences in sizes and styles, and Lin Lebing’s dress leaned more towards brown, but even with just that, it still looked like couple outfits.

“Lin Yueye, are you sure… you and Lin Lebing, either one, don’t want to change clothes?”

“Change clothes?”

Sitting on the high-end Bordeaux red leather seat, finding everything fresh and curious, Lin Yueye looked at her own dress, then peeked at Yuebing’s clothes, not seeing anything inappropriate.

“Why, Teacher Luo, are there any particular rules for funerals?”

“There aren’t really any rules, it’s just… ah never mind, forget I said anything.”

“?”

Energy-saving advocate Luo Yahan felt there was no need to say more about this matter. What they wore wasn’t important, just that later, when they arrived at the place, someone might risk exploding on the spot.

Besides, weren’t Lin Yueye and Lin Lebing acting together recently? Maybe this was also part of their arrangement.

Luo Yahan couldn’t help but admire their dedicated preparation that continued even outside of school.

But in reality, Yuebing had simply copied Yueye’s outfit.

And for Yueye, this dress was an heirloom, part of the family property passed down to her by the previous Lin Yueye.

The only other option was the school uniform. Teacher Luo, if you think the Xia family would allow it, I wouldn’t mind wearing my school uniform to attend my own funeral?

……………………………….

Her profile pressed against the cool rear window glass.

The weather at the end of summer and beginning of autumn was still a bit stuffy, but with the car’s powerful air conditioning blowing gently, and the quality sound system playing pop music exuding an expensive feel, it couldn’t be more comfortable.

Lin Yueye’s eyes sparkled as she admired the speeding shadows on the elevated road in the early morning. She liked this kind of car-riding experience similar to being on a tourist route — although she was now heading to her own funeral.

The mischievous Yuebing on the other side copied Lin Yueye’s pose, also pressing her face against the glass. She wasn’t looking at the scenery, she was purely being playful.

Look, she’s secretly turning back to watch my movements and precisely imitating them, caught you!

Ah, my cat, why don’t you occasionally appreciate the beauty of the urban landscape too, I’m not more interesting than these sights.

Ah… such scenes only exist in dreams, really making me feel a bit light-headed, wanting to hum a few nice tunes…

“Lin Yueye.”

“Yes…!”

Wuwu, sorry!

Got a bit carried away sitting in the luxury car, nodding and swaying.

Cautious eyes peered forward through the leather seats. Through the car’s built-in rearview mirror, she could see Teacher Luo’s serious and careful gaze as she drove, maintaining a steady calmness even at 90+ kilometers per hour, and while watching the road conditions, her beautiful eyes in the reflection also met and responded to Lin Yueye’s anxious gaze.

“First time attending this kind of event, right?”

“Yes… Teacher Luo, because I don’t have any relatives or friends, I’ve never been to weddings or funerals.”

“What I’m saying, you might be tired of hearing it, but involving you in this kind of thing, I’m really sorry.”

“……”

Luo Yahan’s voice was always this cool, even when apologizing you couldn’t hear any warmth.

But Lin Yueye seemed to really feel her guilt, it’s just that she had no way to express those emotions.

Actually, for my own funeral, you have nothing to apologize for. Even without this matter, I would have had to find a way to send myself off anyway.

The road to the cemetery would still take more than an hour, and Lin Yueye didn’t want to spend the whole journey in such a high-pressure environment.

Lin Yueye’s fingers lightly brushed over the finely crafted seat surface, carefully touching the rear tea table separating her and Yuebing. She naturally turned the topic towards this aspect.

“Teacher Luo didn’t drive last time when going to the Xia family mansion, you took the bus too, seeing your car… it’s a bit unexpected.”

“Oh, that time.” Luo Yahan lightly turned the steering wheel, driving the car into a tunnel, the environment becoming dark. “The reason for not driving that time, I thought I told you already.”

“Environmental protection…?”

“Yes, there was no need to drive when the distance was so close, just a few bus stops away.”

So it really was for environmental protection!

I thought at the time that was just an excuse because you were embarrassed to say you didn’t have money!

But the more she looked at this luxurious car, the more she felt there was a disconnect between Teacher Luo’s current work and her financial capacity.

“Teacher Luo is so rich but still works as a maid at the Xia family, is the compensation especially good?”

“What, you’re asking about this because you want to apply for a maid position after graduation? As a teacher, I’d advise against considering it. Given the grades of our class’s students, it’s fine to have bigger aspirations.”

“Umm… alright.”

Understood.

Lin Yueye’s emotional intelligence was quite high.

She knew this meant Teacher Luo didn’t want to discuss this matter.

Since she didn’t want to talk about it, Lin Yueye didn’t ask further, surely she had her own reasons for being the head maid at the Xia family.

She thought the atmosphere in the car would fall into silence like when they first started driving, but unexpectedly, as Luo Yahan drove the car out of the tunnel, with light flooding back into view, her words caught Lin Yueye’s attention.

“Speaking of which, I mentioned before that if you coordinate well with Lin Lebing and can periodically improve Xia Mujin’s mental state, I would give you some compensation. At that time you said you wanted to think about it, have you decided what you want now?”

“Want salt…! Mmph?!”

The moment Yuebing heard the key words and started raising her hand to report, Lin Yueye covered her mouth with lightning speed!

What salt do you want?! Look how undignified you are! Have you ever been short of it?!

Lin Yueye understood social graces. Although she was indeed living in difficult circumstances now, and Teacher Luo clearly didn’t lack money, she didn’t refuse compensation, but she also felt uncomfortable asking for money — after all, essentially, she was helping with her own matter.

Watching Lin Yueye’s hesitant manner through the rearview mirror, Luo Yahan probably guessed her embarrassment.

That’s fine.

Lin Yueye was indeed just such a person who didn’t ask much for material things, from previous observations, she was always like this.

But…

“How about this, if Xia Mujin doesn’t cry at home for the next week, I’ll give you a car like this one, how’s that?”

“?!”

But I don’t have a driver’s license?!

No, the point isn’t the license.

You’re saying you’ll give me a car?! That’s not a funny joke!
