Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 74 - 75 Xiao Wu, my husband is the vice president!
Zhang Meilan was still relentless. "Are you done? Have you forgotten our agreement?"
"I haven’t forgotten," Qin Long replied. "I’ll go tomorrow, too."
"Even so, the fact that he can afford an electric sedan is shocking!" Zhang Meilan snorted coldly and left.
Tang Xuewu pondered for a moment, then clenched her fists and pushed open Qin Long’s door.
Qin Long was pleasantly surprised to see her.
"A-Long, you really didn’t have to do this," she said softly. "I don’t really need a car. You don’t have to do this for me..."
She didn’t want her mother to mock and scold Qin Long anymore, so she tried to soothe him and protect his masculine pride. "My office isn’t far from home. I can take the bus or ride my bike; it’s perfectly fine."
Looking at the kind woman before him, Qin Long’s heart filled with emotion.
"Xuewu, this is something I have to do," he said sincerely, leaning on his cane as he took her hand. "Don’t worry. I can give you any life you desire, whether it’s wealth or power. You just need to give me a little time."
At this moment, he felt as if he had completely integrated into the family, no longer the aloof Battle Dragon of the past. He had fallen completely in love with this gentle girl and wanted to do everything in his power to protect her.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Xuewu bit her red lip, thought for a moment, and then gave Qin Long an incredibly gentle look. Even though he had lied to her several times before, she was still willing to give him another chance.
「The next day.」
Qin Long, Tang Xuewu, and Zhang Meilan arrived at Jiangzhong Auto Mall by taxi.
Seeing that the place wasn’t luxuriously decorated, Zhang Meilan immediately pouted. "If you can’t afford a good car, just say so! Why bring us to this dump? Do you take us for fools? This obviously isn’t a place for luxury cars."
Zhang Meilan grabbed Tang Xuewu’s arm, ready to leave. The place looked bare; there couldn’t possibly be any good cars here.
"Mom, what do you know? This is a newly developed plaza with many classic brands," Tang Xuewu said. "They are all official dealerships for major overseas and Daxia manufacturers."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Meilan paused.
"Are you lying to me?" she demanded.
"How could I? You’ll understand once you go inside!" Tang Xuewu pushed her mother forward again.
Zhang Meilan snorted coldly. "If you don’t have the money, just be honest. Don’t you dare embarrass us by making a fool of yourself."
As they walked further in, they soon saw numerous luxury car dealerships, and Zhang Meilan finally shut her mouth. The scale of the place was indeed impressive.
She glanced at Qin Long in confusion. Why is this guy so quiet? Isn’t he the one buying the car?
"Hey, Qin Long, have you decided what car to buy?" she asked.
Qin Long slowly spoke. "The cars here are too low-end. Let’s go look over there."
"What?"
Zhang Meilan was stunned. The cars here included the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Audi A4, each worth hundreds of thousands! And Qin Long was calling them low-end?
Zhang Meilan frowned.
"Qin Long, a regular family car will be fine," Tang Xuewu reminded him, still trying her best to protect his dignity.
"I’m not lying. I’m really choosing one for you..."
Just then, a clear female voice came from not far away. "Xuewu? Is that really you?"
A young woman in her twenties appeared behind Tang Xuewu. While not as beautiful or well-proportioned as Xuewu, she was still a lovely young woman dressed head-to-toe in luxury brands. A dazzling, expensive-looking bracelet was wrapped around her wrist.
Although Xuewu was a natural beauty, her plain casual wear was no comparison. Ever since her grandfather began to neglect her because of Qin Long, she hadn’t worn cute dresses or used designer bags. After all, their "inner court" privileges had been revoked, cutting them off from all company and family benefits. Tang Xuewu’s entire salary went toward household expenses, so as for luxury goods, she could only window-shop.
"Liu Xiaoyue? Haha, it really is you! Long time no see." Tang Xuewu was momentarily dazed before recognizing her high school deskmate. Back in the day, Liu Xiaoyue had always targeted her because she was the school belle. Liu Xiaoyue, despite having a good figure, had a bad reputation for fooling around with men at dance clubs. In contrast, Lin Yanrou was her only true best friend, always looking out for her.
"Well, if it isn’t our school belle," Liu Xiaoyue said with a smirk, raising her eyebrows. "Me? I’m here to buy a nice car, of course! My husband is very rich, you know..." Her words were dripping with resentment toward Xuewu.
"Alright," Tang Xuewu said, not wanting to engage. She took Qin Long’s arm and started to walk away.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyue blocked their path, glancing at Qin Long with disdain. "Oh my, Xuewu. You two aren’t here looking for a job, are you?" Everyone in Jiangzhong knew that its number one beauty, Tang Xuewu, had a fool for a fiancé. If the Tang Family were still at its peak, she might have hesitated. But now they had been reduced to a third-rate family, and Tang Xuewu was out of favor because of the fool. Liu Xiaoyue had nothing to fear.
"We’re here to look at cars," Tang Xuewu replied, a hint of anger in her voice at Liu Xiaoyue’s attitude. She had thought that meeting a classmate after graduation would involve some warm reminiscing, but she was wrong. Liu Xiaoyue was clearly here to cause trouble.
"Looking at cars? Oh, my!" Liu Xiaoyue pursed her lips, looking at Tang Xuewu with feigned disbelief before her eyes darted to Qin Long. "Xuewu, you must be in the wrong place. They don’t sell modified cars for the disabled here, you know!"
Liu Xiaoyue deliberately raised her voice.
"Darling, what are you doing over here?" At that moment, a young man with bleached-white hair walked over. He was dressed in luxury clothes and black sneakers, with a prestigious black watch made of precious metal on his wrist. His whole outfit was worth at least a hundred thousand.
"Xuewu, this is my husband, Martin. He’s the Deputy Director of the Project Department at Jiamu Industries," Liu Xiaoyue said, hooking her arm through the man’s and introducing him with immense pride. "His year-end bonus alone is over 800,000!"
The moment Martin saw a peerless beauty like Tang Xuewu, a greedy glint appeared in his eyes and he eagerly came over to say hello.
Tang Xuewu simply gave him a cool reply.
Martin smiled awkwardly and didn’t press further.
"Honey, don’t you know a lot of the bosses here?" Liu Xiaoyue cooed, looking at Martin affectionately and pressing her body against him. She shot a sidelong, arrogant glance at Qin Long. "Since my dear friend wants to pick out a car, you have to help her, okay?"
Back in school, Tang Xuewu had been the center of attention, the object of countless boys’ affection. Liu Xiaoyue had been incredibly jealous. But who could have imagined that the great beauty of the past would end up marrying a cripple? How satisfying.
"So, what brand of car are you looking for?" Martin asked, affecting an air of superiority. "I’m on good terms with the owners here."
"That won’t be necessary," Qin Long cut in, holding up a hand to stop him. "You really can’t help with the car I’m choosing."
Hearing this, Martin’s expression turned cold before he burst out laughing.
"Well now, Mr. Iron Crutch, what kind of magnificent car might you be choosing? From a 200,000 model to a 1.5 million one, I can offer my expert opinion."
