The in-laws, upon hearing that Ye Chen would buy them a better car tomorrow, instantly beamed with joy.
The father-in-law had no idea he had just missed out on the chance to own a top-tier BMW 760.
Xiao Churan, feeling a bit worried, quietly asked Ye Chen after they returned to their room and finished washing up, “Do you still have money to buy a car? I still have some savings. How about taking them tomorrow to buy the car?”
Ye Chen quickly waved it off, “No need, I still have some. It’s enough.”
Xiao Churan apologized, “I’m sorry about my parents’ behavior… I didn’t expect them to be like that…”
Ye Chen smiled, “What are you saying? Your parents are my parents too. We’re family, and it’s only right to show them respect.”
He then lay down on his small mattress on the floor, laughing, “Don’t worry. Tomorrow morning, I’ll get a new car for them!”
Xiao Churan, touched, said, “Thank you, Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen laughed heartily, “Why are you being so polite with me, honey?”
Xiao Churan blushed and asked, “Sleeping on the floor—aren’t you cold at night?”
“Not at all!” Ye Chen replied quickly. “Not even a little. Don’t worry about me; I’m fine!”
Xiao Churan teased him, “If you’re fine, then just sleep already, you blockhead!”
She had half a mind to invite him to sleep on the bed, but this blockhead ruined the moment…
Ye Chen suddenly realized he might have just missed something important.
He quickly said, “Ah, honey, the floor is so cold! I’m shivering!”
Xiao Churan retorted angrily, “If it’s cold, just add another blanket!”
“Ah…”
Ye Chen felt frustrated.
After a while, he refused to give up and tried again, “Honey, I think the temperature has dropped. I’m freezing!”
Xiao Churan ignored him and kicked down another blanket, grumbling, “It’s the middle of summer—how cold can it be? If you’re still cold, I’ll find you a down jacket!”
Ye Chen felt utterly defeated. It seemed there was no chance his wife would let him onto the bed tonight.
The next morning, Xiao Churan got ready for work.
Ye Chen prepared breakfast for her and handed her the keys to the BMW, saying, “Take the car to work today.”
Xiao Churan hesitated, “It doesn’t feel right for me to drive the car you bought.”
Ye Chen replied, “What’s wrong with it? You’re my wife, and the car is for you, not me.”
Xiao Churan nodded lightly, accepted the keys, and said, “Thank you.”
Her father, standing nearby, couldn’t hide his envy and said, “Ye Chen, you haven’t forgotten about the car you promised me, have you?”
“Of course not!” Ye Chen replied with a smile. “I’ll go get it today. Just wait at home for your new car!”
The father-in-law grinned from ear to ear and said happily, “Alright then, I’ll be waiting! Don’t forget—it’s the BMW 530 you promised!”
Ye Chen chuckled, nodded, and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll bring back the BMW 530 today!”
After seeing his wife off, Ye Chen pulled his electric scooter out of the BMW 760’s trunk.
As Xiao Churan drove the BMW 760 to work, Ye Chen rode his scooter to the BMW dealership.
When he passed the Audi dealership, a salesperson inside spotted him and exclaimed, “Damn, the guy who bought the BMW 760 is back, riding his little scooter!”
Another salesperson quickly added, “No matter what, we’ve got to stop him today and sell him a top-spec Audi A8, even if we have to kneel!”
The sales team swarmed out, surrounding Ye Chen.
“Sir, come check out our top-spec Audi A8!”
“Our A8 is powerful, equipped with a W12 engine that’s even better than the V12 in the BMW 760!”
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Absolutely!” One salesperson eagerly explained, “Sir, our W12 engine can shut off half the cylinders to save fuel! It’s much more efficient!”
Ye Chen scoffed, “Are you kidding me? Why would I buy a 12-cylinder car just to shut off half of them? I might as well buy a 6-cylinder car from the start!”
The salesperson realized their mistake and blushed in embarrassment.
Ye Chen sneered, “I know what you’re up to. Yesterday, you ignored me when I came by. Now that I’ve bought a BMW 760, you’re trying everything to win me over, right?”
The sales team nodded sheepishly.
Ye Chen smirked, “Too late! Yesterday, you didn’t care, but today, you’re out of my league!”
With that, he honked his scooter horn.
“Beep beep…”
“Move aside! I’m heading to the BMW dealership to buy a car!”
At that moment, the BMW sales manager came out and shouted, “Audi! What are you doing? Trying to steal our client? If you keep this up, I’ll expose you on TV!”
The Audi team, thoroughly embarrassed, retreated in defeat.
The BMW dealership manager greeted Ye Chen warmly, “Mr. Ye, are you here to buy another car today?”
Ye Chen nodded, “Do you have a BMW 530 in stock? I need to drive it home today.”
“Yes, we do!”
The manager was ecstatic.
Yesterday, Ye Chen bought a BMW 760. Today, he’s buying a BMW 530. What a valuable customer!
He led Ye Chen into the showroom, where a BMW 530 was on display.
Ye Chen sat inside and found that while it resembled the 7 Series, its interior was far inferior. However, for his middle-aged, status-conscious father-in-law, it was already a luxury.
He decided to buy it. Just as he was about to pay, he overheard a familiar, saccharine voice saying, “Oh, honey, I love the BMW X6! Can you buy me one?”
Ye Chen looked over and saw his college friend Wang Daokun’s fiancée, Liu Lili, holding hands with an unfamiliar man, behaving intimately.
He frowned. Was Liu Lili cheating on Wang Daokun?
Anger flared within him. He despised unfaithful women with no moral boundaries.
What’s worse, Wang Daokun was working hard to build his career, while Liu Lili was out here betraying him. How disgusting!
The man smirked and asked, “If I buy you an X6, how will you explain it to Wang Daokun?”
“Wang Daokun?” Liu Lili sneered, “Don’t even mention that loser. He’s useless—no money, no skills. If he weren’t so loyal and dependable, I wouldn’t have stayed with him in the first place!”
