The Car Borrowing Fiasco

The Car Borrowing Fiasco Plot:

Lin Xiaoman’s new car—saved up for three years and just licensed—was lent to Zhou Rui, a high school best friend who’d been out of touch for years. Zhou begged, claiming her mom was seriously ill and she couldn’t get a taxi. But the next day, Lin got a traffic police text: her car had scraped another vehicle in a mall parking lot and fled. When she confronted Zhou, the latter turned hostile, denying everything and accusing Lin of blackmail. Worse, the dashcam’s memory card was gone, and Zhou even badmouthed Lin in their class group as “petty for checking the car.” Torn between “valuing old friendship” and “seeking justice,” Lin suddenly receives surveillance footage from the victim—Zhou had lied: she’d used the car to impress her cheating boyfriend and destroyed evidence to avoid paying for the damage. A car borrowing incident triggers a trust collapse, ready to tear open the most awkward “face” in adult life.
