Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!
Chapter 820 - 338: Buying a Car, The Discrepancy of the Cousin-in-law

The way he called her "Cousin-in-law" felt so natural. He kept one hand on the steering wheel and slid his other hand onto Su Qing's thigh.

Su Qing looked especially gorgeous today, wearing sheer tights paired with over-the-knee boots—definitely a tactile treat.

Lu Wanting found his words curious: "Huh, Yuwen, are you planning to buy a car too?"

"Just looking around, not necessarily buying."

The 100-kilometer journey would take about an hour, and once they hit the highway, there wasn't much to do other than chat.

Liu Shuo surely researched car specs before deciding to purchase.

Lu Wanting, a lively kind of girl, asked Liu Shuo which car he was planning to buy.

Liu Shuo answered straightaway—Passat!

Dead set on the Passat!

"Step toward happiness, cherish forever!"

Listening to this, Zhou Yuwen chuckled and said, "You're so into the Passat? I'll pitch in some extra cash; upgrade to something else."

"I don't want your money. This is money I earned myself, and honestly, I think the Passat's pretty stylish. Once I drive it to Jinling, Sister Hui will definitely love it!"

Zhou Yuwen responded, "Alright then."

He turned to Su Qing and asked if she wanted a Passat. Su Qing shook her head and said no.

"Too old-fashioned."

"Hey, I actually think the Passat's nice; it looks dependable." Lu Wanting, though a girl, seemed to know a bit about cars.

Still, a Passat would cost at least 230,000.

"What does your family do? A car at university—isn't that a bit extravagant?" Lu Wanting blinked curiously.

Zhou Yuwen answered, "Second-generation in manufacturing. His family owns the county's largest marble factory."

"Wow! That must mean your family's super rich!" Lu Wanting's eyes widened in amazement.

Liu Shuo scratched his head and laughed sheepishly. "Not really."

"Buying a car has nothing to do with my family. My brother helped me earn the money."

"Oh? Yuwen, do you do anything besides writing books?"

"Running a delivery service company—didn't I already mention that?"

The group chatted in the car along the way.

Peng Xiaoyong didn't really chime in.

Having listened to Zhou Yuwen and Liu Shuo's conversations over the past few days, Peng Xiaoyong couldn't be bothered to join in.

Factory successors and all that stuff.

In the end, wasn't it just privilege?

What Peng Xiaoyong despised most was the privileged class.

The topic was particularly off-putting for him. Actually, his mother originally suggested he get a second-hand car for around 50,000. But Peng Xiaoyong didn't think it was necessary. He pitched in another 20,000 himself, aiming for a new car worth 70,000 to 80,000.

This was already the limit of his ability.

He was filled with anticipation for that new car.

But then, here comes some cocky kid planning to buy a Passat—it'd rub anyone the wrong way.

What stung the most was Lu Wanting happily chatting away with them.

During the conversation, Lu Wanting actually tried to pull Peng Xiaoyong into the discussion.

But it was clear that Peng Xiaoyong wasn't interested in joining.

Lu Wanting, though, remained undeterred and asked Zhou Yuwen if they had any Nissan Teanas for sale over there.

"Your cousin's planning to buy a Teana."

Zhou Yuwen replied, "Oh? The Teana's actually pretty good—fuel-efficient."

"No, I haven't decided yet." Before Zhou Yuwen could finish, Peng Xiaoyong denied Lu Wanting's claim.

He said he actually wanted to check out some Toyota and Nissan models.

"Those are good options too."

Zhou Yuwen joined in casually, saying, "There's a wide variety of cars in the area we're headed to. Perfect for you guys to take a look."

First stop: checking out the Passat.

Liu Shuo wanted to test drive it.

Zhou Yuwen took the opportunity to accompany Su Qing in browsing other models in the 4S dealership.

But Su Qing clearly wasn't interested in Volkswagen.

She looked stunning in her boots and long legs today. She pulled Zhou Yuwen along, wandering idly through the Volkswagen showroom. Quietly, she said to Zhou Yuwen, "If you're really considering buying a car for my mom, get her a Mercedes."

"Why?"

"Because Mercedes looks great!" Su Qing replied.

Zhou Yuwen stared at her, amused. "Is that your mom's preference, or yours?"

"You're so annoying." Su Qing's face turned a faint shade of red as she gave Zhou Yuwen a playful glare.

Just then, the two stopped in front of a Volkswagen model with a logo lettering.

Zhou Yuwen said, "How about I buy this one for your mom?"

Su Qing replied, "No way! It's too old-fashioned. Zhou Yuwen, why don't you just buy me a little BMW instead!"

Su Qing held onto Zhou Yuwen's hand, playfully pleading.

Zhou Yuwen said no.

"Why not?"

Pulling Su Qing's neck closer, Zhou Yuwen whispered, "Actually, it's not impossible. Lie down tonight, and I'll buy you one."

"You're the worst!"

"Hmph, I'm ignoring you now!"

Su Qing started playfully bickering with Zhou Yuwen in the shop.

Watching from nearby, Lu Wanting said to Peng Xiaoyong, "Your brother and his girlfriend seem really close."

Peng Xiaoyong adjusted his glasses silently.

Since they were there, he did check out a few cars. But it was always the same—he could want them, but he couldn't afford them.

That was the most disheartening part.

He asked Lu Wanting what kind of car she liked.

Lu Wanting replied, "Me? I don't know much about cars, but if I got to choose, I'd pick a Mercedes!"

She'd actually been pestering her dad to buy her one.

But Lu Wanting's father had said, "Come back home, and I'll get you one."

Which left Lu Wanting feeling quite annoyed.

Peng Xiaoyong found her cute whenever she put her hands on her hips and complained in a sweet, pouty way.

Very endearing.

Every time he saw that side of Lu Wanting, Peng Xiaoyong felt completely charmed.

He said, "Wanting, trust me. Give me two years, and I'll definitely buy a Mercedes for you."

This statement came out of nowhere.

Hmm?

"Oh, then you better work hard; good luck!" Lu Wanting mimicked a cheering gesture to encourage him.

Peng Xiaoyong suddenly felt more motivated.

Unlike others who hesitated over car purchases, Liu Shuo had made up his mind and paid the deposit as soon as he found the one he liked.
