Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 281 - 139: What do you have to compare with me, kneel down and admit your mistake
When Li Yuan overheard the middle-aged man’s private mockery, a strange look appeared on his face.
In my past life, I read countless urban reincarnation novels filled with show-offs and face-slapping scenes. But in reality, since being reincarnated, I haven’t encountered a single one. I never thought I’d finally run into a situation like this while buying a car at a BMW dealership.
He had intended to just smile and ignore it, but the conversation between the middle-aged man and his female companion piqued his interest.
"Zhou, MWAH! You’re so good to me, willing to spend hundreds of thousands to buy me a BMW."
"Heh, I’m not like that bragging college student. I say I’ll buy you a car, and I actually do it."
"You’re the best, Zhou! I’ll reward you properly in the car later."
"Qingrou, let me tell you, you have to find a boyfriend with real substance like me. Those guys who are all flash and no cash are just for show."
"Mmm-hmm! Zhou! Zhou! Hurry up and buy it for me!"
...
This is getting interesting, Li Yuan thought. I want to experience what it feels like to show someone up and put them in their place, too.
The middle-aged man spoke very softly, but Li Yuan’s senses were far keener than the average person’s.
Being mocked and doing nothing is not my style. I’ve been given a second chance at life, so why be so timid? Even if there were people who could force me to be cautious, this guy next to me certainly isn’t one of them.
Li Yuan intimately wrapped an arm around the youthful and beautiful Bai Weixi and led her over to the middle-aged man.
The man was looking at a white BMW 3 Series sedan priced at over 300,000. Beside them, the dealership’s sales manager was enthusiastically explaining the details while they negotiated the price.
"Mr. Zhou, the discount on this car is already significant. The on-the-road price is only 350,000, and we’re also offering four complimentary services and a full-car 3M film treatment..."
The sales manager rattled on. He’d been dealing with this haggling Mr. Zhou for half a day. If it weren’t for the poor economy and slow car sales this year, he would have walked away long ago, but he had a quota to meet.
The middle-aged man in the suit, Zhou Kang, was trying to squeeze out more discounts when he saw Li Yuan approaching. He tensed up for a moment before pretending that nothing was wrong, as if he hadn’t just been mocking Li Yuan under his breath.
Zhou Kang’s eyes slid over to Bai Weixi, and he was instantly captivated. A look of avarice flashed in his eyes.
Today, Bai Weixi was dressed very fashionably. Knowing that Li Yuan liked her long legs, she had specifically worn a white, form-fitting dress. Her snow-white calves were like flawless white jade. Paired with her light gray leather shoes and her 1.7-meter, model-like height, she looked like a graceful Immortal, making her exceptionally eye-catching and turning heads everywhere.
That was why I was mocking him, Zhou Kang thought. I’m just so damn envious. When a man sees a woman that beautiful with a boyfriend, he can’t help but feel like it’s a perfect flower stuck in a pile of cow dung.
Zhou Kang glanced at his own companion with her heavy makeup. Before, he thought she was pretty decent—good looks, a great figure, and young. But comparisons are cruel. Next to Bai Weixi, the difference was like night and day; they weren’t in the same league at all. This gave him a sharp sense of inadequacy.
Zhou Kang puffed out his chest and put on the smile of a successful man. "Manager Zhang, my girlfriend is quite fond of this car, but your discount is too small. Only 30,000 off for paying in full, and very few perks. If you can sweeten the deal a little more, I’ll buy it... in full."
He emphasized the last two words, raising his voice and shooting a pointed smile at Bai Weixi, clearly trying to show off his wealth.
Why did Li Yuan suddenly pull me away from the BMW Z4 just to listen to this guy haggle? Bai Weixi wondered, completely bewildered.
With a cold smile, Li Yuan interjected with a sarcastic jab of his own, "It’s just a cheap car worth a measly 300,000, and you’re still here haggling over it? What kind of successful person are you pretending to be? You’re just wasting Manager Wang’s time."
After saying his piece, Li Yuan turned to the middle-aged man’s companion. She looked young, maybe in her early twenties, and was about as pretty as Wang Jierong. Though she wore heavy makeup, her figure was quite nice. I wonder if she paid for some technological enhancements.
"This beauty," Li Yuan said, "how could a BMW 3 Series possibly match your class? You should have your boyfriend buy you a BMW Z4. For a big shot like him, that little bit of money shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
The woman immediately turned to the middle-aged man, her eyes shining with anticipation. What woman doesn’t love a sports car? She had also been drawn to the BMW Z4 convertible the moment she saw it, but with an on-the-road price of six to seven hundred thousand, she hadn’t dared to bring it up. If she could trade the BMW 3 Series for a Z4, she would agree in a heartbeat.
Bai Weixi stared at Li Yuan, completely stunned. Her mind went blank, unable to process what was happening. Based on what I know of him, he isn’t the type to be a busybody.
Manager Wang Gang, whose private thoughts had just been exposed, looked embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man’s face.
The middle-aged man’s expression was a sight to behold, shifting from red to white as he looked utterly stunned.
Zhou Kang never imagined that Li Yuan had not only overheard his private mockery but would also have the nerve to confront him directly. He had no idea where this kid got the audacity.
Zhou Kang shot Li Yuan a look and snorted coldly. "You’re young, but you’ve got a big mouth."
