Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 285 - 140: Wang Yuchen’s Little Thoughts, Testing the Shock Absorption of the New Car

Chapter 285: Chapter 140: Wang Yuchen’s Little Thoughts, Testing the Shock Absorption of the New Car

Zhou Kang had already received a bank debit alert for purchasing the BMW Z4. Buying another car of the same price, like the BMW X6, would be a truly crippling blow to his finances. The most crucial point was that he had no idea if Li Yuan had any funds left. However, seeing Li Yuan so calm and composed suggested that spending over a million at once was probably no big deal for him.

He’d really messed with the wrong person today.

Zhou Kang was filled with regret. Why did he have to run his mouth with sarcastic comments just because he was dazzled by Bai Weixi’s beauty?

He glanced at Li Yuan, who still maintained a completely unruffled demeanor.

"Kid, spending money you earned yourself is what’s impressive. Relying on your parents doesn’t count for much," Zhou Kang said, trying to save face. "I don’t need another car, and I’m not going to waste my time on such a meaningless pissing contest."

Turning to the sales manager, he said, "Manager Wang, please help my girlfriend with the purchase paperwork as soon as you can."

What a pity, Manager Wang thought to himself. Although Zhou Kang’s words were lofty, he clearly didn’t want to concede defeat. He was just finding an excuse to back down while simultaneously mocking Li Yuan for spending his parents’ savings. Li Yuan and his friends looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, so it was impossible for them to have earned millions on their own. They had to be relying on their parents.

The murmurs of the surrounding audience continuously flowed into Li Yuan’s ears.

"Has this middle-aged man indirectly admitted defeat? Keep buying, I want to watch the show!"

"He’s a rich kid, so what if he spends his parents’ money? That’s perfectly normal. If you’re going to give up, just be straightforward about it. Being so passive-aggressive shows a real lack of class."

"I really want to see how this handsome guy will retort. Is he just going to let him go so easily?"

"Well, it’s not like they have some deep-seated grudge. Still, talking behind someone’s back is wrong, and it’s worse when you get caught. How this plays out now depends on how magnanimous the handsome guy is."

Li Yuan glanced at Zhou Kang and suddenly let out a sneer, shaking his head with a look of waning interest.

This was only the first car, and the guy had already backed down. What a disappointment. He had been ready to keep going, to buy cars for Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and his parents. If that wasn’t enough, he could always buy two more as company vehicles, since he’d need them eventually anyway.

Since his opponent had retreated but couldn’t resist getting in a final, passive-aggressive dig, Li Yuan certainly wasn’t going to let it slide.

He looked at Zhou Kang again and strode right up to him. His superior height gave him a commanding presence, looking down on the 1.7-meter-tall man and causing Zhou Kang to take an involuntary step back. A mocking expression spread across Li Yuan’s face.

"Heh, for all your big talk, it turns out you’re just a pewter spear—all show and no substance. To think you were describing yourself. At least you’re self-aware," Li Yuan said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Oh, and next time, you’d better get those dog eyes of yours checked, maybe at a vet. If you go around looking down on people again, they might not be as nice about it as I am.

"You’re not a young man anymore. Go home and take some Liuwei Dihuang Pills. You need to strengthen your body."

Li Yuan’s relentless, in-your-face barrage made Zhou Kang grind his teeth. His face flushed red then pale with rage as he clenched his fists, glaring venomously at Li Yuan. If it weren’t for Li Yuan’s tall, powerful build and clearly defined muscles—the very picture of a physical powerhouse—Zhou Kang would have loved nothing more than to throw a punch.

He was intimidated. He figured Li Yuan was just some rich kid, but since he himself had been in the wrong first, he had no choice but to swallow his pride. He gritted his teeth and pulled his girlfriend, trying to slip away through the crowd.

Li Yuan’s voice had been loud and clear, reaching the ears of every spectator. They all burst into laughter. Li Yuan had masterfully turned the man’s insult back on him, complete with a crude joke that made it impossible for anyone to keep a straight face.

"That handsome guy’s mouth is vicious! He made the other guy so angry he’s grinding his teeth. If that were me, I’d die of embarrassment!"

"Heh, serves him right for running his mouth. Whether they can afford a car or not is none of his damn business. He messed with the wrong person and just had to take the verbal beatdown. When you get called out, you’ve got to take it on the chin!"

"Look, after that handsome guy insulted him to his face, he didn’t dare say a word back. He just grabbed his girlfriend and scurried off. Don’t tell me he really is all show and no go..."

"I think it’s very likely. Look at his unsteady gait and pale face—those are classic signs that he’s... lacking in that department."

"Haha, I get it now! He was badmouthing the handsome guy because he saw how tall and strong he is, and with such a beautiful girlfriend, too. He was just consumed by envy, jealousy, and hate!"

Xu Zhi tugged on Wang Yuchen’s hand and couldn’t help but comment, "Yuchen, Li Yuan is savage now. His words were so sharp they sent that middle-aged guy running. The man didn’t dare make a peep."

Wang Yuchen didn’t hear a word Xu Zhi said. Her beautiful eyes were locked on Li Yuan, filled with an indescribable emotion. The face-slapping drama that had just unfolded made her see Li Yuan as incredibly handsome, manly, and charismatic. He treated Bai Weixi so well, too—he was the very model of an ideal boyfriend...

Thinking about what happened last night, a bold idea suddenly formed in her mind.

If she could really get Li Yuan for herself, she could enjoy the same treatment as Bai Weixi. Her life’s goals would be achieved in an instant! She could step right into high society and live a blissful life every day...

In Wang Yuchen’s mind, two figures were constantly arguing and fighting.
