This sudden move startled Wu Tian.
Wu Tian quickly helped him up and said, "Old sir, what are you doing? Please get up!"
The old man's cloudy eyes welled up with tears. He cried, "Young man, I'm so sorry, I damaged your car!"
"What?" Wu Tian looked at the Mercedes and saw that the car's rearview mirror had been knocked off and was on the ground.
He asked the old man, "Old sir, how did this happen?"
The old man said with remorse, "I was riding my tricycle and wasn't watching where I was going. I accidentally hit your car!"
"This is all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry!"
As he spoke, the old man tried to kneel down before Wu Tian again.
If anyone else had heard this, they would have been furious.
But Wu Tian was a kind person. He wasn't angry. Instead, he held the old man up again and said, "Old sir, please don't be so agitated."
"If you kneel down to me, it will shorten my lifespan!"
What was happening here immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.
With so many people watching, the old man felt even more nervous.
He said tremblingly, "Young man, don't worry, I won't run away."
"I damaged your car, and I'll pay you whatever it costs. Please don't cause trouble for me!"
After speaking, the old man took out a stack of money from his pocket and tried to hand it to Wu Tian.
The stack of money consisted of scattered bills, totaling only over a hundred yuan, which was the old man's income from selling vegetables in the past few days.
The people nearby burst into laughter and said, "Old man, that's a luxury car, probably worth over a million."
"Your money isn't even enough for them to fill the gas tank. I don't think you need to offer it."
"Ah? Over a million?" Hearing this, the old man felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Fearing that the old man might be too shocked, Wu Tian quickly said, "Old sir, let's talk calmly. You don't need to be so nervous."
The old man said mournfully, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know your car was so expensive."
"Otherwise, I would have stayed far away and never hit your car!"
"I know I can't afford to pay for your car, but can you give me some time?"
"No matter what, even if I have to borrow money, I will get your car repaired!"
Seeing that the old man was already of advanced age and still had to face such a situation, Wu Tian felt a pang in his heart.
In fact, the old man could have chosen to flee earlier, but he didn't. Instead, he stayed, willing to pay even if he couldn't afford it.
This showed that the old man was an honest and good person.
The fact that the old man was still out selling vegetables at his age indicated that his living conditions were not good.
If Wu Tian insisted on the old man paying, it would be a disaster for him!
Wu Tian was not so heartless, and he didn't lack this little bit of money.
So, Wu Tian said softly to the old man, "Old sir, it's good that you're not hurt."
"As for compensation, let's forget about it. I can get the car repaired myself. You don't need to pay."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, the old man said tremblingly, "Is that true? You... you really don't want me to pay?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Really, you don't need to. Let's just pretend this never happened."
"Everyone has their difficulties. I can't add insult to injury!"
The old man was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He quickly said to Wu Tian, "Thank you, thank you! You are truly a good person!"
The surrounding people had initially thought Wu Tian was going to make trouble, but they didn't expect him to be so magnanimous and truly forgive the old man.
At that moment, everyone gave Wu Tian a thumbs-up and praised him, "Young man, you are truly a good person!"
"No wonder you can drive a luxury car at such a young age. You're so outstanding!"
"No, I have to post about you online to spread positive energy and let everyone learn from you!"
They all spoke one after another, showering Wu Tian with praise.
Wu Tian felt uncomfortable with the situation, so after a few perfunctory responses, he left quickly.
He could have sent the car to a 4S dealership for repair, and he wouldn't have had to pay.
But he knew that the repair speed at those 4S dealerships was too slow.
Sometimes, things that could be done in half an hour would be dragged out for a week.
So, Wu Tian drove to a shop that specialized in repairing Mercedes, hoping to get the car fixed quickly and go home earlier.
After driving to the destination, Wu Tian began to queue.
There were three other Mercedes cars waiting for repair ahead of him. Wu Tian waited in the car, looking at his phone. After about an hour, it was his turn for repair.
Just as he was about to drive the car in, a car from behind suddenly sped up and blocked his way!
This move startled Wu Tian. If he hadn't braked quickly, he would have crashed into it.
"Who is it? Are they crazy?"
Wu Tian grumbled and then saw a man get out of that car.
It was a man dressed in a rather flamboyant style, probably around thirty years old, with tattoos on his arm.
He got out of the car and said to the repairman, "Hey, my tire pressure is low. Can you add some air?"
Wu Tian understood immediately. So this guy was cutting in line!
Cutting in line so brazenly was simply too arrogant!
On the other hand, the repairman knew that the man was cutting in line.
Normally, he should have tried to dissuade him.
But seeing the man's tattoos, he knew that this man was not someone to be trifled with, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
But just because he didn't dare didn't mean Wu Tian wouldn't.
Wu Tian got out of the car directly and walked behind the man, saying, "Hey, you cut in line. Isn't that a bit improper?"
The man's name was Zhao Huadong.
He glanced at Wu Tian and then showed a sinister smile, saying, "Oh, so there's another car here. I didn't see it."
Wu Tian knew he was deliberately cutting in line, but he didn't rush to retort. Instead, he said, "Now you know. Since you know, please move aside."
Zhao Huadong chuckled and said, "Brother, since I'm already in this position, why don't you just give me your spot?"
"It's just adding air to the tire, a matter of a few minutes. It shouldn't matter if you wait, right?"
Adding air to a tire was indeed not a troublesome thing, but Wu Tian had no intention of giving up his spot.
After all, even if the task was simple, cutting in line was another matter entirely.
