After that, he patted his pockets with both hands and said with a smile: “Look at me, I am the legitimate and honorable owner of a Bentley, but do I have the car keys? No! I am going to the Maldives soon, what is the use of me bringing the car keys? Moreover, I have a driver, who buys a Rolls-Royce and drives it himself!”
“Oh, by the way, you just wanted to wait for the security check, then the security officer asked you to take out all the stuff in your pocket, then you took the Rolls-Royce car key from your pocket and put it there, then you felt proud, right?”
Jacob said to the child whose thoughts had been seen through, blushing and stubborn: “I… I didn’t do it!! I accidentally put it in my pocket!”
“Bah!” The middle-aged man pursed his lips: “Your face is red, who would believe you if you said that?”
After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, “Oh, old man, I advise you to be more humble when you go out in the future, and don’t brag everywhere, so as not to be laughed at. Your children are around you. Even if you don’t care about your own face, you should consider theirs, right?”
Jacob was not a sharp-tongued person. After hearing what the other party said, he felt that he had no way to defend himself and could not express his grievances. He could only take out his phone and search for something.
Elaine Ma, who was standing nearby, had never been this angry before. She immediately pinched her waist and glared at the person: “I didn’t show off like a coward by driving a broken Bentley. Go ask people. My husband used to be the executive vice president of the Aurous Hill Calligraphy and Painting Association. Ask the people in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Everyone knows he drives a 2B version of the Cullinan!”
Jacob quickly said: “What 2B? That’s not 2B, that’s BB, the BB version of Cullinan!”
Elaine Ma waved her hand impatiently: “Aren’t they all the same? The meaning is the same.”
The other party seemed to have never taken Elaine Ma seriously, and turned to look at Claire, smiled and said: “Beauty, they should be your parents, please persuade them, they are so old, don’t be too arrogant.”
After saying this, he called out to the charming woman beside him: “Wife, let’s go, let’s go through customs and go to the first-class lounge to rest.”
Seeing her husband’s superiority, the charming woman felt very proud and said coquettishly: “My good husband, I told you long ago that when you go out, don’t bully the poor. You can’t explain it to them.”
The middle-aged man laughed, hugged the charming woman and walked away happily.
As soon as she left, Jacob raised his head and shouted angrily at her back: “Don’t leave me, look at me, look at the photos I took with my car! See if it’s a Cullinan, see if I’m bragging!”
Seeing that the other party didn’t even turn his head, he stamped his feet angrily: “Look! Open your dog eyes and see clearly!”
Claire, who was standing next to him, felt very embarrassed and stepped forward and said, “Dad, that’s enough. Don’t touch me anymore. Dad shouldn’t have taken the car keys in the first place.”
Claire felt embarrassed, not because she was embarrassed to be watched and even laughed at by strangers, but because she was embarrassed for her parents to publicly display the things they had gotten in return for Charlie’s status.
Especially since she didn’t expect her father to secretly put the car keys in his pocket even though he had clearly said that he wouldn’t drive to the airport. She knew very well what he was thinking.
What the middle-aged man said was absolutely right. Father must have thought that taking this key with him when he went out would bring him glory.
Such wasteful behavior really disappointed Claire.
Charlie didn’t feel anything. He stood aside without saying anything. Mainly because he thought his father-in-law’s behavior of holding the car key was too funny, so he just watched him get humiliated.
Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law did not support him, Jacob felt a little embarrassed and secretly put the car keys on his body. Thinking about it now, this behavior was indeed a bit childish.
Originally he was in a good mood to go on vacation, but he was ridiculed as soon as he came out, which made Jacob very depressed. He looked at the Rolls-Royce car key in his hand, and felt that the treasure that usually made him very satisfied had now become a hot potato. He couldn’t throw it away, nor could he keep it.
So, he immediately took out his phone and called President Pei: “Hey, Old Man Pei, where are you? I went on vacation today and didn’t drive, but I accidentally left my car keys behind. How about you give me your home address and I’ll have a local courier deliver your car keys. Please keep them for me first.”
President Pei was puzzled: “Just pretend if you can. The car key is not that heavy. You have to find someone to deliver it to me and pay for it. What’s the point?”
Jacob said in a defiant tone: “Oh, you also know that my car key is too conspicuous, don’t I want others to see it? Otherwise, if I have to take it out during the security check, others will think I’m pretending to be cool.”
President Pei said casually: “If not, just put it in the suitcase. Remember, don’t take it out. The security will not allow you to take the car key out of the suitcase for a separate inspection.”
“Ah…” Jacob sighed and said dully: “Okay, I’ll put it in the box, and hang up first, Lao Pei.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone, opened his small suitcase a little, and inserted the Rolls-Royce car key through the gap with a disgusted expression.
Charlie found it funny, but he tried to hold back his laughter. Seeing that she had already packed up the car keys, he waved at her and said, “Come on, it’s getting late, get in!”
