Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 248 - 247: Living Better Than Her Is the Best Revenge
"Wang, I’m modeling cars here today!"
"Hello, what a coincidence. Want to hit the bar together tonight?" Wang Bocheng casually invited, feeling the girl looked somewhat familiar, probably from one of his events.
"Sure! Haha, I can leave by five. Are you here to pick out a car, Wang?" Wang Jiali replied with a bright smile and a coquettish tone, then called out to the salesman, "Hey, Xiao Guan, hurry over and introduce this car to Wang. He’s the real buyer here."
Lin Wanwan was speechless, too lazy to engage with the other’s performance, yet suddenly felt there was no need to give up on a car she liked just because of the shallow Wang Jiali.
So she turned back with a smile and said to the salesman, "I quite like this car. Could you please help me process the purchase?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiali was stunned, her eyes snapping over in disbelief, mocking inwardly—acting tough, huh? Not a single branded item on you, and you think you can afford a Porsche?
The salesman, hearing Lin Wanwan, broke into a springtime smile: "Certainly, miss. Please follow me, and I’ll explain the details for configuring your choice."
Just as Lin Wanwan was about to follow the salesman into the showroom, a deep male voice sounded: "Wanwan, what a coincidence, you’re here too?"
Wang Bocheng looked at the speaker, rolling his eyes internally.
Coincidence my foot! He knew it, Lu Shouyue wasn’t even into cars, so why would he bother to come to a car show with him today? Turns out, just like himself, Lu didn’t come for the cars either.
The dating guide he purchased said, creating chance encounters is the first step in developing a relationship.
Lu Shouyue knew Lin Wanwan recently got her driver’s license and wanted to buy a car. With the car show this weekend, naturally, he had to come create a serendipitous encounter.
Wang Bocheng was utterly speechless at Lu Shouyue’s elementary-school-style approach to dating.
Months have passed, and Lu still hadn’t made progress with Lin Wanwan, who knows if he’s even held her hand. Wang Bocheng has rolled his eyes at him countless times for this.
From New Year till now, Wang Bocheng has already had several rounds of girlfriends, while Lu Shouyue is still in the initial wooing phase—utterly pathetic.
Who knew that the often superior Lu Dasha was such a novice at dating, incredibly childish—it utterly amused him!
Of course, Lu Shouyue wouldn’t care about Wang Bocheng’s opinions; everyone has different pursuits and their own future aspirations.
Unlike old Wang’s pursuit of hormonal thrills, filled with drunken escapades and indulgence, needing all sorts of supplements soon, Lu prefers quality over quantity, nurturing himself.
Some people appear in your life like an oasis in a desert, rain after a drought, softening time and dazzling moments—a gift from fate. Someone like old Wang, who breezes through a sea of flowers, would never understand.
However, claiming Lu Shouyue has noble intentions might not entirely be the case. He has envisioned plenty of scenarios of driving with full power in his mind, just waiting for the little lamb to enter his car and roam together.
But for now, the little lamb isn’t willing to step into his circle, so he has to sweet-talk her.
"Mr. Lu, is that you? What a coincidence," Lin Wanwan immediately recognized Lu Shouyue, whose eyes smiled brightly above his mask.
In truth, if you only look at the eyes, Lu Shouyue and Xiao Chong are quite similar, both having a kind of innately attractive, slightly intoxicated look in their peach blossom eyes.
"Wanwan, you’re buying a Cayenne?" Lu Shouyue crossed the crowd to reach Lin Wanwan’s side.
Lin Wanwan replied, "Yes, it seems pretty nice."
Lu Shouyue replied, "It is indeed. I’m thinking of buying one too, let’s do it together."
Lin Wanwan readily agreed, "Sure."
The two walked side by side into the showroom, seemingly oblivious to others. The salesman followed alongside, grinning widely.
Wang Jiali didn’t recognize Lu Shouyue, and when facing "wealth," "handsome and tall" retreats, making way.
Seeing Wang Bocheng shaking his head without speaking, she tried to pull back his attention with a flirtatious laugh, "Wang, do you also know Lin Wanwan? They say she’s a bit of an online celebrity now!"
Wang Bocheng ignored the scheming Wang Jiali, cleared his throat, and called out to Lu Shouyue’s back: "Hey, old Lu, prioritizing beauty over your buddy, aren’t you going to introduce this beauty to me, and you just turned and left?"
Only then did Lu Shouyue seem to remember he had a friend around. He said to Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, this is Wang Bocheng, the internet celebrity."
"Can you properly introduce me? What’s with the ’internet celebrity’ comment?" Wang Bocheng laughed, stepping forward to pat Lu Shouyue on the back, pulled the mask down to his chin, and said with a grin, "Hi, Lin the beauty, heard so much about you. I’m Wang Bocheng, we met during the New Year."
"I remember," Lin Wanwan nodded in greeting, "Pleasure to meet you."
Being ignored, Wang Jiali’s face was like soy sauce, deeply embarrassed.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue went inside to choose configurations and make their orders. Satisfied after indulging his curiosity, Wang Bocheng finally engaged Wang Jiali, bantering for some fun.
He realized, Lu was nowhere near getting anywhere, allowing him to laugh at his expense for quite some time.
After discussing with Lu Shouyue, Lin Wanwan ordered a white Cayenne, and Lu Shouyue got a black one, secretly considering them a couple’s match, even aligning the interior.
For someone like Lu Shouyue, buying a Cayenne is like an average person purchasing a bicycle.
Thus, Lin Wanwan didn’t bother with questions. Nowadays, they both aren’t tight on budget, so they opted for the top configuration—worry-free, no need for tedious research. The only downside of the top configuration is the cost, everything else is superb.
Wang Jiali, who watched the whole process, was crushed to see Lin Wanwan pay with her card—furious, envious.
Just last year, they were all freezing in their dresses, earning five hundred a day. Now she’s still working the car show, while the other has become a luxury car customer.
Wang Jiali herself takes forever to justify buying a decent bag, while Lin Wanwan can effortlessly purchase a car! How is that fair? Could she have taken up side gigs?
She’s aware of many so-called "business etiquette" ladies posing as wealthy, white-collar women on social media, then transforming into "concubine candidates" in the entertainment and business circles, making thousands to tens of thousands per session, earning money quickly.
Looking at Lin Wanwan’s face and figure, with just the right amount of fame, she could likely fetch tens of thousands per session, explaining her quick financial rise.
Wang Jiali herself can’t bring herself to do it, yet she’s envious of those peripheral women knowing celebrities and tycoons, earning big, leaving her discontent.
Seeing a peer casually afford luxury brand bags and clothes, she can’t help but assume the worst about them, gossiping with like-minded folks to claim a moral victory.
This is an era that mocks poverty over moral crisis, how pathetic!
Despite Wang Jiali maintaining her integrity, she ends up standing all day in glamorous dresses and high heels, earning five hundred daily—not even getting gigs every day!
