Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 107: Chapter 104 Who is Pretending to be Cool

Huo Sining was choked up; facing a domineering cousin who claimed, “I’ve been a president of a company,” she seemed to have little chance of winning.

“That’s more like it!” Seeing Huo Sining fall silent, Su Jinyuan clicked his fingers and decisively made a decision, pushing her back towards the store, “Alright, let’s choose a gift.”

Once inside the store, Huo Sining was dazzled by the options. She really knew nothing about cars, and when the salesgirl asked her a bunch of questions about price, fuel consumption, safety factors, and purchase tax, along with a slew of technical jargon, Huo Sining immediately felt her head swell, her eyes bulging out roundly as she helplessly turned to Su Jinyuan for rescue.

“How about this, you look at which models you like, then we can compare them based on their performance,” Su Jinyuan suggested from the side.

“Or maybe we shouldn’t buy one after all, these cars are all so expensive!” Huo Sining hesitated and then made the suggestion pleasingly to Su Jinyuan.

She genuinely felt there was no need to buy such an expensive car. These were all luxury cars, with any random one costing millions. Just seeing the prices made her cringe in pain, and all she wanted was to drag Su Jinyuan away.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had Huo Sining spoken than a woman also looking at cars nearby could not help but snort with laughter, looking at Huo Sining with disdain, “If you can’t afford it, don’t embarrass yourself here. If you’re broke, why are you browsing a BMW 4S center? There are plenty of domestic cars from Volkswagen Haima across the street, or at the very least, isn’t there the Chery QQ?”

Next to the woman stood a middle-aged man, corpulent and portly with an air of a boss, who echoed upon hearing his woman’s words, “Nowadays, the poor just love to pose as the rich. They really have no class at all.”

“Exactly, those kind of people shouldn’t even be attended to by salesgirls; it’s a total waste of time.” The woman said with a face full of disgust, “Honey, I think these few cars are not bad. Which one do you like more?”

“These few, well, they’re all pretty good. Miss salesgirl, you don’t have to waste time with these two people. It’s obvious they can’t afford a car. Come, tell us about the performance of these few cars,” the middle-aged man said coolly.

Huo Sining really didn’t want to argue with such people and only twisted her mouth into a smirk upon hearing their conversation. But the expression on Su Jinyuan’s face turned dark in an instant.

“Sir, we provide one-on-one service here. If you’re dissatisfied with my service, you may make a complaint directly to our store manager,” the other male sales associate besides the middle-aged man retorted, angered by his words. What a joke, I’ve toiled hard to introduce the car models and their performances, and this bastard wants to just switch the business and commission to someone else, making a sucker out of me?

The salesgirl following Huo Sining seemed a bit embarrassed, but she didn’t think that Huo Sining couldn’t afford a car.

Those in their line of work were best at observing. From the first glance, she felt that these two were not without money.

Especially the young man standing next to the girl. He had a tall stature and handsome features; even though she couldn’t tell what brand of clothes he was wearing, just by looking at the fabric, she knew it was high-quality. And this man, merely standing there, exuded an innate commanding presence, his air of nobility impossible to conceal.

On the other hand, the two who were sneering just now looked like the typical mistress and nouveau riche type, and she had seen plenty of such customers.

Huo Sining didn’t want to stoop down to arguing with these people, but that didn’t mean Su Jinyuan didn’t mind. Anger rose in his eyes as he heard the two slate him.

Su Jinyuan was the calculative type. He wouldn’t engage in a quarrel, something that would lower his status, but making life difficult for people he disliked came easily to him. With that thought, without another word, he pointed his hand towards a car.

“We’ll take this car.”

Huo Sining was dumbfounded, and so was the sales lady.

“Sir, this model is the limited edition of the BMW M6 series, with only one thousand globally available. Due to it being an import, the price is quite expensive. This model is priced at 3.8 million yuan, but if you pay in full, we can offer you a 5% discount.”

The sales lady glanced at Su Jinyuan to confirm he wasn’t joking, then hurriedly began to explain.

3.8 million yuan?! Huo Sining’s mouth dropped open in shock.

The two people who had been mocking stopped in their tracks, and the middle-aged man looked at the car Su Jinyuan had pointed out, with surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes.

However, the disdainful woman’s eyes conveyed sheer scorn, thinking to herself: Keep pretending, just keep on pretending!

“Cousin! Maybe we shouldn’t buy it after all! I… I think the car we just saw was pretty good, why don’t we pick another one?” Before Su Jinyuan could speak, Huo Sining became anxious. That was 3.8 million yuan, an outrageously expensive car that could buy her the entire Xianyu Shop, and Huo Sining felt the sting just thinking about it.

“Pssh–” The disdainful woman seemed to have predicted this sequence of events and glanced at the BMW worth around a hundred thousand that Huo Sining had referred to. She looked down on Su Jinyuan even more and sneered inwardly: As if he could buy a limited edition BMW. If you’re capable, keep up the act, pretending to be rich when you’re broke, what a joke!

Su Jinyuan laughed softly, but the expression on his face was far from joyful. He bent down and whispered to Huo Sining, “Are you sure you want me to lose face here? Haven’t you seen that they’re waiting to laugh at us?”

Huo Sining looked up at the two people with a face full of helplessness and distress. In her view, what was the value of ‘face’? Could it be worth more than the 3 million and a shop?

Unfortunately, she didn’t dare to voice her thoughts. It was clear that Su Jinyuan was on the verge of rage, feeling humiliated by being looked down upon by a nouveau riche.

Yet Su Jinyuan didn’t mind Huo Sining’s concerns. Without another word, he took a card out of his bag and handed it to the sales lady, “Make it a full payment, please swipe the card.”

The sales lady, upon seeing the black diamond card from a certain bank in Su Jinyuan’s hand, was taken aback, her respect for the man before her growing.

She wasn’t naive; having worked there for years and having heard stories from the shop owner, she knew anyone who could afford a diamond card not only had a substantial wealth, but also an extraordinary status.

“You’re really buying it?” Huo Sining was still not quite convinced, stealing another glance at the hundred-thousand-yuan BMW, before she clenched her teeth and steeled her resolve, “Alright, then let’s buy it. But you only need to pay 800 thousand, I’ll handle the rest myself.”

As she spoke, Huo Sining reached for her own bank card.

After all, the five million she earned from the auction sale of the ambergris was a windfall, and now that the Xianyu Shop was on track, she had an income of several hundred thousand each month. She felt she could easily make the money back even after this expenditure.
