Chapter 75: Chapter 74: This Is a Chang’an Taurus Star, Right
Bai nghan held two water bottles, while Fang Chenyi clutched the opening of a large woven bag.
Just then, a gasp of surprise ca from the direction of the Lamborghini not far away.
They both looked toward the sound and saw a young couple, who had originally been on their way to the Audi A6 behind the Lamborghini, now standing in astonishnt in front of the supercar.
"Wow! Honey, look! This car is so beautiful! It’s completely pink! If I could drive a car like this, I’d be so content!"
The woman pointed at the all-pink Lamborghini with one hand while tugging on her boyfriend’s arm, whining playfully.
However, hearing his girlfriend’s words, the rather plain-looking man was left speechless.
"Uh, if I could drive this car, I’d be content too... Babe, do you even know what kind of car this is? Do you know how much it costs?"
The woman paused, then looked curiously at her new, wealthy boyfriend—a city-dweller her family had just introduced her to.
"What kind of car is this? Isn’t it called a Chang’an Taurus Star? My uncle drives this brand. Even though it’s really pretty, with a Chang’an logo, it can’t be that expensive, right? For a man of your ans, honey, buying a car like this should be a piece of cake. Why don’t you... buy one for
soti?"
The woman’s words made the man almost choke. He couldn’t help but grumble to himself.
’Is she for real or just playing dumb? A Chang’an Taurus Star? Holy crap... but now that she says it, it does kind of have that vibe. Pfft! Taurus Star my ass!’
"Ahem, this isn’t a Chang’an Taurus Star."
The woman looked confused and peered at the emblem on the car’s hood.
"That can’t be right. The big bull on the front looks almost exactly like the one on my uncle’s van. And to be honest, this one doesn’t even look as impressive as his..."
He ranted internally. ’Goddammit, I thought finding a simple girl from the countryside would be nice, but this is taking "simple" a little too far. Thankfully, apart from those two scrap pickers over by the trash cans, there’s no one else around. Otherwise, I’d die of embarrassnt.’
"This is a Lamborghini. Not a Chang’an Taurus Star."
The woman gasped at his words, covering her mouth with her hand. Her face was a mask of pure shock.
"What? Oh my god! This is actually a Lamborghini? I’ve heard of Lamborghini! Don’t they cost, like, over a million?!"
Hearing his new, "innocent" girlfriend finally catch on, the man let out a long sigh of relief. ’Wow, looks like I really hit the jackpot this ti. She doesn’t even recognize a Lamborghini. How much more innocent can you get?’
What the man failed to notice, however, was the faint flicker of contempt in the woman’s eyes.
Although she was from the countryside, it was impossible for her not to recognize a supercar like a Lamborghini. Even if she’d never seen one in person, they were all over TV, the internet, and even on the calendars sold during the holidays.
The only reason she was putting on such an innocent act was to convince her new boyfriend of her purity. After all, she had no plans to ever go back to Dongguan...
"Over a million? Babe, let
tell you, one look at this car and you can tell it’s a custom job. It has to be worth at least ten million! *Sigh*. I wonder which rich man’s mistress gets to drive a car this expensive..."
The man did know a thing or two, recognizing that a car in this color had to be custom-made. More importantly, his casual guess at the price was surprisingly close to what it actually cost.
Of course, in his mind, a car this color was definitely driven by a woman. And if a woman could afford a car like this... well, that spoke for itself.
"Oh my god, ten million? Are you serious? You don’t see a car this expensive every day! Honey, quick, take so pictures of
with it!"
As she spoke, she pulled out her phone and handed it to the man. This was a golden opportunity. If she took a few photos with such an expensive sports car and sent them to her old ’sisters,’ they would absolutely die of envy.
...
Fang Chenyi and Bai nghan witnessed the whole exchange. Although Bai nghan cringed seeing the woman leaning against her car door, she didn’t stop her. ’After all, she just wants a photo with a sports car,’ she thought. ’Why be so petty?’
She looked away from them and back at the woven bag in Fang Chenyi’s hands.
"What’s wrong, Chenyi? Wouldn’t it be faster if I helped you?"
Fang Chenyi was speechless. ’Oh, for heaven’s sake,’ he thought. ’It’d be faster, sure, but it would also be completely pointless.’
’Right. I get a hundred-point reward for every item I pick up, but every item *you* pick up gets it deducted. With that kind of ti, I’d rather find a private spot and get so... exercise... in with you.’
He took the two water bottles from Bai nghan’s hand and, steeling himself, tossed them into the bag. Hearing two more warning chis go off in his head, Fang Chenyi quickly waved his hands to stop Bai nghan from picking up anything else.
"Stop, stop picking stuff up! Uh, I just rembered I have sothing to do this afternoon. How about we just head to the school now? That way I can get back sooner."
Bai nghan gave Fang Chenyi a slightly puzzled look. She wasn’t sure if he really had sothing to do or if he just didn’t want her helping him collect scraps. "For real?" she asked, half-convinced.
Fang Chenyi didn’t hesitate. He took Bai nghan’s hand and started walking toward the car, saying with conviction as they went,
"Absolutely. I have an appointnt this afternoon to pick up those old refrigerators and TVs of yours. Co on, let’s get going."
Hearing Fang Chenyi’s explanation, Bai nghan’s doubts vanished, and she felt a sense of relief. It was a real appointnt, after all. To be honest, she was genuinely afraid that Fang Chenyi thought she was just a pretty face.
Seeing that Bai nghan believed him, Fang Chenyi breathed a sigh of relief. He made a ntal note to co back and collect all the scraps in the area after he dropped her off at school.
As he was thinking this, they arrived at the car.
The man and woman were still busy taking photos. Bai nghan and Fang Chenyi exchanged a look of helpless exasperation.
Neither of them said anything to ask the couple to leave, though. That would be too embarrassing for them.
So, Fang Chenyi tucked the woven bag under his arm, casually leaned back against the Audi A6, and watched the pair with a faint smile as they continued their photoshoot.
The young man taking the pictures noticed them approaching and glanced up. His eyes landed on the breathtakingly beautiful Bai nghan, and his phone instinctively turned toward her as he pressed the shutter.
But a mont later, he saw that the scrap picker from earlier had also co over and was now leaning against *his* car door.
The man’s brow furrowed instantly.
