The one grabbing Lu Chen's arm was none other than Zhuang Keluo, the young lady of the Zhuang family and the owner of Fuli Auto City.
Beside them, Hu Hanwu, somewhat exasperated, told the security guards to get out, leaving only Gu Zhide and the saleswoman behind. The saleswoman, named Lulu, muttered, "Mr. Hu, that kid's causing trouble. Look, he even hit so many security guards! We must call the police! We absolutely must call the police! Look, even Manager Gu..."
"Shut the hell up!" Gu Zhide growled, almost slapping Lulu.
The saleswoman was of low rank and had never seen the owner of the auto city before, but Gu Zhide, as the showroom manager, naturally recognized Zhuang Keluo. Seeing the owner of the auto city, the young lady of the Zhuang family, so intimately embracing that young man, he was dumbfounded. This was a serious matter!
Even a fool could see that Lulu was showing disrespect to the owner's daughter's man!
"What are you doing here?" Lu Chen asked, bewildered.
Before Zhuang Kelu could speak, the older woman interrupted, her tone arrogant: "Little girl, don't go too far. Who do you think you are, a five-million-dollar car? I reckon you wouldn't be worth that much even if you were sold! Trying to steal my man? Don't you know your own worth!"
When it comes to verbal sparring, Zhuang Kelu was never afraid of anyone.
She glanced at her opponent's figure and sneered, "Hey, you old hag, don't be so funny. Think you can look beautiful just by putting on a thick layer of makeup? Besides, even if you were twenty years younger, my man wouldn't even look at you! And you think you can seduce people with so little money? Does your family even know?"
As she spoke, this young lady of the Zhuang family started to flaunt her charms, striking various alluring poses like a model, sometimes sticking out her buttocks, sometimes puffing out her chest, even striking Marilyn Monroe's classic pose of blowing kisses while holding her skirt.
"I'm different. I can be young, beautiful, have a great figure, and have money. What can you compare to me in any way? Go wash up and go to bed with your pretty boy! Be good, listen to me!"
These words made the middle-aged woman so angry she didn't need makeup; her face turned pale.
She pointed at Zhuang Keluo, her finger trembling, and said, "Fine, you're young and beautiful, but I don't believe you're rich! I'll buy this young man a car worth 500,000 right now… no, I'll buy him a million! Young man, if you stay with me for a year, I'll give you 50,000 every month, and you can choose any million-dollar car you want, how about it?"
As she spoke, she looked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was truly dumbfounded. What was going on? What was wrong with this girl? Why was she competing with an older woman for him? And what did she just say? My man? When did he become her man?
However, the middle-aged woman's skin was incredibly thick, which annoyed Lu Chen. "Do I look like the kind of gigolo kept by a rich woman?" he thought. "Damn it, although I was kept by my parents until last year, starting this year, I'm going to be an upright person, earning my own wealth through hard work with my own two hands, maybe with my own two legs, but definitely not with a third leg!"
Before Lu Chen could speak, Zhuang Keluo sneered, "You think you can buy my man with a million-dollar car? Auntie, I really didn't expect you to be such a fool!"
As she spoke, she hugged Lu Chen's arm even tighter, as if trying to melt him into her embrace.
The middle-aged woman sneered angrily, "If you've got the guts, show me more money!" With that, she pulled out a card and proudly declared, "I have over three million here! You can check it anytime if you don't believe me! As long as the young man agrees, I'll immediately swipe a million-dollar luxury car for him, plus a year's prepayment for his 'sugar baby'!"
Zhuang Kelu scoffed, "Why would I need to take out money? It's too much trouble. Besides, you dare to flaunt your three million? You should at least learn from Guo Meimei and know how to fake it! But I don't know how to fake it!" She looked at Hu Hanwu.
Hu Hanwu quickly pulled out a small remote control and pressed a button.
Soon afterward, the powerful roar of engines echoed outside the showroom.
Then, one after another, top-of-the-line imported luxury cars drove in.
A Bentley Mulsanne, 5.28 million.
A limited edition Continental Convertible, 5.68 million. Lamborghini Aventador, 7.38 million.
Rolls-Royce Ghost, 6.66 million.
Ferrari FF, 5.38 million.
Martin Aston Villarreal, 6.28 million.
...
Almost all the top-of-the-line luxury cars in the entire auto city had arrived. Thirteen or fourteen cars drove in together, each with a price tag clearly displaying its brand and price; the most expensive was over ten million.
These ultra-luxury cars, once they entered, dwarfed the dozens of lower-end cars in the huge showroom, each costing tens or hundreds of thousands. The sheer scale of the spectacle shocked everyone, even Lu Chen.
He had only ever owned two of these cars at most.
After slowly driving in, the luxury cars formed a circle around Zhuang Keluo, Lu Chen, and the others.
Zhuang Keluo looked smugly at the middle-aged woman, saying slowly and deliberately, "So, auntie, do you still want to compete with me? Don't tell me you don't believe I can buy all these cars! Let me tell you, if I wanted to, I could drive them all away right now. My only worry is that I'm all alone."
Then, she tilted her head slightly, looking at Lu Chen, whose arm she was holding, and smiled sweetly, "Brother Chen, look, whichever car you like, just pick it. But..." she whispered, "Actually, I don't have that much money, so you still have to save some for me. I can only pick three at most, okay?"
Lu Chen was speechless. This was what she called not having that much money? So many luxury cars! Even if he only picked the cheapest three, that would be close to twenty million! Twenty million! How many lifetimes would it take an ordinary person to earn twenty million?
Even the former young master Lu couldn't possibly come up with twenty million; being able to come up with five million would be considered very good! The girl he'd casually rescued from the women's restroom at the train station yesterday had suddenly gifted him three luxury cars!
This was life unlike anything he'd ever experienced before.
However, no matter what, he couldn't accept these luxury cars. A gentleman doesn't accept gifts offered with contempt; he wouldn't even accept a single windshield wiper, let alone three! He coughed twice, not answering Zhuang Keluo's question, and tried desperately to pull his arms away from her embrace.
Unfortunately, she held on tightly, harder than pulling a radish from the ground.
The middle-aged woman's face turned deathly pale. Seeing this, she knew Zhuang Keluo wasn't joking. Where did this rich young heiress come from?! Without a word, she turned and hurried towards the front door, afraid that if she slowed down even a little, she'd lose face. Meanwhile, her gigolo followed along, whining sweetly,
"Sis, you haven't bought me a car yet! You haven't bought me a car yet! You haven't bought me one, my dear sis, buy me a car..."
The two of them walked away, one after the other, disappearing into the vast crowd.
Lu Chen was still struggling to pull his arm away, demanding, "Who are you anyway? How do you know my name? How can you buy so many cars? I mean... oh my god! You didn't follow me here, did you?"
Hu Hanwu, standing to the side, was stunned. This young lady kept calling him "my man," but he seemed like a complete stranger to her?
Zhuang Keluo clung tightly to Lu Chen's arm, smiling as she answered his question:
"Yes, Brother Chen, I've followed you all the way from your shop. I never expected you to be buying a car at my auto mall! Hehe, this shows we're destined to be together, shouldn't we? As for how I know your name, that's a long story. Let's have lunch together, and I'll tell you slowly, okay?"
These words shocked Lu Chen considerably. This huge auto mall actually belonged to this girl beside him? He really hadn't realized he'd accidentally saved a super-rich and beautiful woman.
"Okay then." He said, sounding rather troubled, "But you have to let go of me first, right?"
Zhuang Keluo sighed. "Don't you enjoy being hugged by me at all?"
Lu Chen also sighed. "We're not familiar yet, and there are so many people here… can you be a little more reserved?"
"Alright, so Brother Chen likes reserved girls, oh well, I'll be reserved then!" Zhuang Keluo finally let go. "Then I'll hug you again when we're more familiar and there aren't so many people. Is that reserved enough?"
Uh, is that what you call reserved? Lu Chen opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Never mind, she let him go.
Then, he saw Zhuang Keluo's face darken. The girl turned to Gu Zhide and snapped, "Manager Gu, can you tell me what's going on? Why are your people so rude to my man when he comes to buy a car? What kind of attitude is this? You dare use a salesperson like that? Are you crazy?"
She was incredibly harsh, making Gu Zhide's face turn pale and sweat pour down his forehead.
"And what's more, you're too audacious! My man was wronged, isn't it normal for you to come out and complain? You actually protected your subordinates, treating my man like this, and even had them beat him up! Damn it, what's the difference between you beating my man and me beating you? You're so fierce, anyone who doesn't know better would think our car dealership is a den of thugs!"
"This is what I saw. Have you always treated other customers like this? Is there a rule in our car dealership that says you can look down on people? Huh?"
Her words grew increasingly sharp, making Gu Zhide and Lulu afraid to even look up. Zhuang Keluo turned to look at Hu Hanwu.
Hu Hanwu quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet Zhuang Keluo's murderous gaze.
"And you, Lao Hu, how can you be your General Manager Hu? Your subordinates are going so far as to act like this, and you don't even know? Are you protecting them too?"
Hu Hanwu said with a forced smile, "Miss, I will definitely strengthen management in the future, I will definitely make a big clean-up, I will definitely do better... uh, no, I will definitely do better, correct all the bad habits, and absolutely treat customers as gods! Don't worry, I will definitely do it. If I can't, you can fire me!"
Zhuang Keluo wasn't finished and continued to scold him. During this process, almost every five sentences, she would blurt out the phrase "my man," which left Lu Chen completely puzzled.
What's going on? I only saved her once, and now I'm her man?
So fast, do her parents know?
However, watching this little girl unleash her fury is quite amusing. Listening to the whispers of the customers around him, including those who recognized Zhuang Keluo, he further understood the girl's identity and couldn't help but gasp.
