Inside the Porsche.
Dong Xuebin drove onto the highway without taking his eyes off the road. Sun Kai sat in the passenger seat, glancing at him as if he wanted to say something but held back.
"What is it?" Dong Xuebin turned his head slightly.
"Brother Dong," Sun Kai said. "Thank you."
Dong Xuebin smiled. "For what? What's there to thank me for?"
Sun Kai clenched his teeth. "So much. I... I heard from Jingjing yesterday that her family doesn't really approve of us dating. No one was willing to support us, but you were willing to help. And... the Lucky Money you gave my sister's child. Thank you for that too, Brother Dong."
Dong Xuebin waved it off. "Xiao Jing is my younger sister. Since she came to me for help, of course I had to help. That red envelope was for the child anyway, so there's no need to thank me."
"But it was too much money."
"I told you, it was all one-yuan bills. It wasn't much."
"How could that be? Brother Dong, I'm not stupid. I know you wanted to help me."
Dong Xuebin looked at him. "Your whole family is counting on you now, right? Does Xiao Jing know about your family's situation?"
Sun Kai's expression stiffened. "She doesn't. I haven't had the chance to tell her yet."
"Why not? Are you afraid Xiao Jing will look down on you?" Dong Xuebin asked bluntly.
Sun Kai hesitated, then nodded.
Dong Xuebin turned the steering wheel and deliberately gave him a lesson, his expression turning serious. "But I think it's not Xiao Jing who looks down on you. It's you who looks down on yourself."
Sun Kai sighed. "You're right, but my family's situation is worlds apart from Xiao Jing's. I... I really don't deserve her."
