Chapter 206: Chapter 195: Looking Down on Others

Mu Shuoqian was quite fond of Maybach, so he headed straight to the luxury car dealership.

He had just parked the car when he received a call that seemed to indicate there was important business to handle, so Gu Qili said hello and went on her own to browse around.

Upon entering the luxurious showroom, a salesperson greeted her enthusiastically, asking, "Miss, are you looking at the cars?"

"Yes, just having a look," Gu Qili responded with a smile before walking further inside.

The salesperson sized her up and down, noting her ordinary white T-shirt and jeans, as well as her non-branded backpack. Consequently, the salesperson didn’t follow but disdainfully shrugged to a colleague: "Does she even know what kind of cars we sell here? Doesn’t recognize the brands probably?"

Although the salesperson spoke softly, Gu Qili still heard her. She ignored it and walked over to a car model she liked.

Just as she was about to open the door to try sitting inside, the same salesperson hurried over, seemingly afraid that she might dirty the car: "Miss, this car is not for sitting in."

"Oh, is that so? Why isn’t there a sign saying that?"

The salesperson was stunned for a moment but still kept a polite smile: "That was our oversight, thank you for your suggestion."

"How can I know if the ride is comfortable without sitting in it?" Gu Qili continued touching the car door and showed no intention of leaving.

"Miss, are you here to buy a car or just looking around? Our cars are all very expensive. If you accidentally scratch them, I am afraid the damage won’t be something you could afford. I’m only saying this for your good," the salesperson said earnestly, but her eyes were filled with scorn, believing that this girl, whose total outfit was worth less than 500, could not afford a Maybach.

Gu Qili didn’t say anything, just closed the half-opened car door.

At that moment, Mu Shuoqian walked into the lobby. His entrance had an effect like a spotlight, shining like a dazzling star among the collection of luxury cars, capturing everyone’s attention.

The dealership manager, who was following him closely, enthusiastically introduced him to several new luxury vehicles.

Halfway through the conversation, Mu Shuoqian noticed Gu Qili walking towards him, and he stopped to reach out his hand to her.

When Gu Qili got closer, she placed her hand in his, and his broad palm immediately enclosed her small hand warmly and firmly.

"Which one caught your eye?" he asked softly, his words dripping with indulgent tenderness.

The nearby manager seemed stunned, as if someone had hit him, and it took a moment for him to recover.

Mu Shuoqian had bought several cars here, but the manager had never seen him bring any woman with him, and rumors said he disliked women the most.

But this woman was...

Even more shocked was the earlier salesperson. She initially thought Gu Qili was just killing time or trying to impress, despite not having money. However, seeing her interlaced fingers with Mu Shuoqian and the dealership manager following him, she immediately realized the grave mistake she’d made.

"Don’t feel like buying here anymore," Gu Qili declared, looking directly at the pale-faced salesperson, "This lady said I couldn’t sit in the car."

With that remark, Mu Shuoqian understood what had happened. He gave the salesperson a cold glance, took Gu Qili by the hand, and turned to leave: "Then we’ll look elsewhere."

"Young Master Qian," the manager hurriedly followed, "Why leave so suddenly?"

Mu Shuoqian didn’t reply, just headed straight out.

The manager was in a panic, gave the salesperson a fierce look, and signaled with his eyes; the salesperson immediately ran after them, apologizing profusely: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I made a mistake earlier, that car can indeed be sat in, even test-driven right now."

But Mu Shuoqian simply ignored them, no matter how much the manager and salesperson said behind him, he didn’t look back, leaving quite resolutely.

This 4S shop, he wouldn’t visit again.

Watching his car speed away, the manager couldn’t help cursing the salesperson: "You really judged her poorly; a few words and you’ve offended my biggest client. You should know that he spends enough here each year on maintenance alone to support your whole family, you useless thing."

The salesperson looked aggrieved: "She was dressed so plainly, her whole outfit didn’t even look like it was worth 500, how was I to know she was Young Master Qian’s woman? Aren’t rich people’s girlfriends usually decked out in gold and silver, practically dipped in gold for fun? This is some anomaly."

"Don’t keep talking, or I’ll send you packing back home," the manager said angrily, not having expected Mu Shuoqian to bring a woman, and based on his pampering demeanor, she was clearly no ordinary woman.

"Manager, I...."

"What ’I’? I’m docking your bonus this month. Don’t judge people by their appearance next time. Nowadays, the wealthier people are, the more ordinary they dress. Don’t you get that?"

"I understand now."

The manager sighed helplessly and returned to his office to think of ways to remedy the situation.

This incident had no effect on Gu Qili’s mood at all. It wasn’t the first time she had been looked down upon. After shedding the aura of the Young Miss of the Gu Family, she had long grown used to it. But there was no reason for her not to utilize the resources provided by Mu Shuoqian.

"Want to keep looking?" He was afraid she might be upset.

"Yes, keep looking." Gu Qili took out a bag of chips from her bag and started eating, "Of course, there really wasn’t anything good back there."

He smiled and drove to another car dealership.

Shortly after entering the dealership, they encountered acquaintances. Dressed casually, Mu Hewen came through the main entrance, his arm tightly linked by Hu Jiaojiao, who wore a long white dress and was smiling radiantly.

When Hu Jiaojiao saw Mu Shuoqian and Gu Qili not far away, she immediately pulled her hand out with a rigid expression and looked anxiously at Mu Shuoqian, but unfortunately, Mu Shuoqian did not spare her a single glance.

Gu Qili, as if she hadn’t seen them, pointed at a new car in front of them and discussed with him, "You like Maybach so much, why not buy this 62S model? It’s an upgraded version of the 62."

Mu Shuoqian had the same intention; having gotten used to one car, he wasn’t keen on switching to another.

"Yo, Shuoqian, you’re also here to buy a car?" Mu Hewen walked over with a smile, though it was very forced, "Which model are you interested in?"

Mu Shuoqian didn’t pay any attention to him, turned his head and spoke a few words to the manager, who immediately nodded smilingly.

"This 62S model is nice, it just arrived, didn’t it?" Mu Hewen said as he lightly tapped the car twice, "I’m interested in this one, let’s go do the paperwork."

The manager said hesitantly, "Young Master Mu, this is a limited edition car, and there’s only one in all of Aus City. Young Master Qian is interested in it, so you might have to wait a few more days."

"He’s interested? He hasn’t paid yet, right? Neither have I, so why would you sell it to him and not me?" Mu Hewen frowned, clearly unhappy.

"Young Master Mu, you see, there’s a first-come first-served principle. Young Master Qian came first, so it’s reasonable that the car would be his," the manager gulped, facing two men he couldn’t afford to offend, and they were even starting a conflict.

"I don’t care much for that, I want this car today, you figure it out," Mu Hewen said as he casually sat on the front hood of the car, swinging one leg that didn’t touch the ground, and negotiated with Mu Shuoqian, "Shuoqian, don’t you already own a Maybach? Just let me have this one, I smashed my car into a bridge pillar yesterday."

Mu Shuoqian gave him a cold look, "If you had died, I would have burnt the car as an offering to you, but since you didn’t, wait it out."

Having said that, he spoke another word to the manager, who nodded repeatedly.

Mu Shuoqian no longer paid attention to Mu Hewen, and went with Gu Qili to the VIP lounge to wait for the paperwork.

"I’m very sorry, Young Master Mu. If you also want this car, I can place an order with the factory right now, and it should arrive in about half a year," the manager hurriedly apologized.

"Half a year? Do you think I need your broken car in half a year?" Mu Hewen walked off in a huff, and when he thought about the car soon being Mu Shuoqian’s, he lifted his foot to kick it but fortunately, the manager grabbed him just in time.

Hu Jiaojiao had been standing at the entrance and hadn’t come in, fearing that Mu Shuoqian would discover her relationship with Mu Hewen. Since he just then hadn’t looked in this direction, did it mean he hadn’t noticed anything?

Feeling somewhat relieved, so when she saw Mu Hewen coming over, she deliberately kept her distance and didn’t initiate conversation.

Mu Hewen was muttering under his breath, irritated.

Seeing Mu Hewen like this, and comparing him to the imposing Mu Shuoqian inside, Hu Jiaojiao felt there was a world of difference. Even though they were both brothers surnamed Mu, the disparity was huge.

"Forget it, it’s just a lousy car, I don’t care for it," Mu Hewen forcibly wrapped his arm around Hu Jiaojiao, lowered his head and blocked her mouth with a kiss, venting his frustrations. Although Hu Jiaojiao was resisting, she also half cooperated.

"Baby, let’s go buy you a car, how about that?"

Hu Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, but she still shyly lowered her head, "Is it really okay to buy such an expensive gift for someone?"

"Yes, yes, what’s not to be okay with? What kind of car do you like? Let’s go see."

"It doesn’t have to be especially expensive, I’m afraid you’ll overspend, earning money is hard for you too."

"What’s all this talk about spending too much? As long as you like it, no matter the cost, I’m willing," Mu Hewen said, laughing as they walked away.

Through the thick glass, Gu Qili watched them get into the car, took a sip of her coffee, and slowly withdrew her gaze.

Mu Hewen was indeed blatant enough, wasn’t he afraid of being seen by Qi Meihui? But since he dares to mess around like this, he probably knows Qi Meihui’s whereabouts well.

Poor Qi Meihui, her husband secretly cheating behind her back, and she is totally unaware.

After waiting for several hours, all the paperwork was finally done.

The manager was organizing their cumbersome documents when Gu Qili suddenly saw something that made her truly understand why Mu Shuoqian wanted to change cars.
