Prince charming, your persona has collapsed! -
Chapter 816 - 337: The Gift That Touched My Mother-in-Law and the Disappointment in My Cousin-in-Law's Heart (Eight Thousand Words Combined Into One)_3
"I don't need you to chip in; I earned all this money myself. Plus, I think the Magotan looks pretty cool. When I drive it to Jinling, Sister Hui will definitely like it!"
Zhou Yuwen said, "Alright."
He asked Su Qing if she would want to buy a Magotan, but Su Qing shook her head and said no.
"Too old-fashioned."
"Eh, actually, I think the Magotan is pretty nice. It looks stable and reliable." Although Lu Wanting was a girl, she seemed to know a bit about cars.
However, a Magotan costs at least 230,000 yuan these days.
"What does your family do? You're just a college student, and you're already buying a car?" Lu Wanting blinked and asked curiously.
Zhou Yuwen replied, "Second-generation factory owner. The biggest marble factory in our county belongs to his family."
"Wow! Then your family must be loaded!" Lu Wanting immediately opened her mouth in awe.
Liu Shuo scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, saying it wasn't so.
"Me buying a car has nothing to do with my family; it's all thanks to my brother helping me earn the money."
"Oh? Yuwen, do you do anything else besides writing books?"
"I run a food delivery company, remember? I've told you before."
The group started chit-chatting like this in the car.
Peng Xiaoyong couldn't really join the conversation.
Listening to Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo talk about these things, Peng Xiaoyong didn't bother to chime in.
What's all this second-generation factory stuff anyway?
At the end of the day, isn't it just privilege?
What Peng Xiaoyong despised most was the privileged class.
Plus, the topic itself irritated him. In fact, his mother originally wanted him to buy a used car for around 50,000 yuan, but Peng Xiaoyong felt it wasn't necessary. So, he added another 20,000 yuan himself, planning to buy a new car worth around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
That was already the limit of his capabilities.
He had high hopes for his new car.
But then this kid he looked down on just came in talking about buying a Magotan. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable about that?
The most irritating thing was that Lu Wanting looked so happy chatting with them.
During the conversation, Lu Wanting did occasionally try to include Peng Xiaoyong in the discussion.
But it was obvious that Peng Xiaoyong wasn't interested in participating.
Lu Wanting, however, seemed carefree. She asked Zhou Yuwen if there were any Altimas for sale nearby.
"Your cousin is planning to buy an Altima."
Zhou Yuwen responded, "Oh, the Altima is good too, fuel-efficient."
"No, I haven't decided yet." Before Zhou Yuwen could finish, Peng Xiaoyong quickly denied Lu Wanting's statement.
He said he was actually more interested in checking out Toyota and Nissan.
"That could work too."
Zhou Yuwen casually chatted along, saying, "The place we're headed to has all kinds of cars. Perfect for taking a look."
First, they went to see the Magotan.
Liu Shuo wanted to take it for a test drive.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuwen took Su Qing to check out other car models in the 4S shop.
But Su Qing obviously wasn't interested in Volkswagen.
Dressed in knee-high boots and showing off her beautiful legs, she was quite eye-catching today. She dragged Zhou Yuwen around the Volkswagen dealership, whispering, "If you really want to buy my mom a car, a Mercedes would be best."
"Why?"
"Because Mercedes cars are good-looking!" Su Qing said.
Zhou Yuwen glanced at her, finding her as playful as a bratty little girl. He asked, "Is it your mom who likes them, or is it you?"
"Hmph, you're so annoying." Su Qing's face turned slightly red, and she glared at Zhou Yuwen.
They happened to walk past a Volkswagen car with lettering on it.
Zhou Yuwen said, "What about this one? How would it be for your mom?"
Su Qing replied, "No way, too old-fashioned. Zhou Yuwen, just buy me a little BMW while you're at it!"
Su Qing tugged on Zhou Yuwen's hand, acting all coquettish.
Zhou Yuwen said no.
"Why not?"
Wrapping an arm around Su Qing's neck, Zhou Yuwen whispered, "It's not impossible. Just lie over tonight, and I'll buy it for you."
"You're awful!"
"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Su Qing and Zhou Yuwen frolicked around the shop, bantering and teasing each other.
Watching from the side, Lu Wanting said to Peng Xiaoyong, "Your brother and his girlfriend seem to have a really good relationship."
Peng Xiaoyong adjusted his glasses and didn't say anything.
Since he was already here, he did end up browsing some cars, but they were all ones he could admire yet couldn't afford.
That was the most powerless feeling.
He asked Lu Wanting which car she liked.
Lu Wanting replied, "Me? I don't know much about cars, but if I had to choose, I'd pick Mercedes!"
She had, in fact, been pestering her dad to buy her a Mercedes.
But her father had said, "Come back home first, and then I'll buy it for you."
That left Lu Wanting feeling quite vexed.
Peng Xiaoyong found Lu Wanting's cute little pout and her hands-on-hips complaints incredibly endearing.
She was really adorable.
Each time he saw her like this, Peng Xiaoyong felt an inexplicable sense of emotional healing.
He said, "Wanting, trust me, just give me two years. I'll definitely buy a Mercedes."
The comment was actually a bit out of nowhere.
"Hmm?"
"Oh, well, you'd better work hard then! Good luck!" Lu Wanting gave him a supportive gesture.
That gave Peng Xiaoyong even more confidence.
Liu Shuo wasn't the type to hesitate like others when buying a car. Once he decided, he promptly paid the deposit.
Plus, there were plenty of promotions since it was just two days before the New Year.
As long as he wasn't in a rush to pick up the car,
he could finalize everything now and have the car delivered after the New Year.
The young salesman assisting Liu Shuo was very enthusiastic, calling him "bro" repeatedly and handling his ID card with two hands.
After Liu Shuo finished buying his car,
Zhou Yuwen suggested they go check out the Altima.
Peng Xiaoyong said, "Forget it. Let's not."
"We're already here. It doesn't hurt to take a look. It's not like you have to buy anything." Zhou Yuwen said.
"Is there a Mercedes dealership around here?" Peng Xiaoyong asked.
Zhou Yuwen replied, "Sure, Cousin. Looks like you've made quite a bit abroad, huh?"
"Not really. Wanting likes Mercedes, so I thought if there's time, we could check it out together."
"Alright then."
Zhou Yuwen turned the car around and grumbled under his breath, "Why do all you women love Mercedes so much?"
