13: Two hundred thousand... in full?

She trembled with rage, but quickly forced herself to calm down. A smug smile returned to her face as she clung tightly to Yang Feiyue's arm.

"Young Master Yang dotes on me, so he's buying me a car!"

"This is called love! Does a pauper like you even understand that?"

"Heh.‐ Lin Chao laughed.

That laughter was filled with undisguised mockery and pity.

"He drives a porsche himself, and he's buying you a flying fox?"

"Even for the top-spec model of this brand, the total price wouldn't exceed 300,000, right?"

The smug smile on Wu Ruolan's face froze instantly!

She subconsciously glanced at Yang Feiyue, then at the car in the showroom. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a single word.

Lin Chao's gaze was like a knife, slicing through her pathetic self-esteem bit by bit.

"It's just a car worth 200,000 or so," Lin Chao said flatly, as if stating a simple fact. "I can earn the money and buy it myself."

He paused, looking at Wu Ruolan's now bloodless face, and spat out his final words.

"What about you?"

"You still have to rely on selling your body."

"So, what exactly makes you feel so superior?"

This light rhetorical question was like an invisible slap, striking Wu Ruolan hard across the face!

The color drained from her face in an instant, leaving it deathly pale!

Immediately after, a sickly flush of humiliation and anger rushed in!

She felt the gazes of everyone around her piercing her like needles, making her wish she could disappear into the ground!

She pointed at Lin Chao, her lips trembling, unable to form a complete sentence for a long time.

"You... you..."

After several seconds, she finally found her voice, which was so shrill it felt like it could pierce an eardrum!

"What right do you have to talk about me!" Wu Ruolan shrieked like she was going mad. "You drive that scrap-metal jetta of yours every day!"

"A six-digit bank card password protecting a four-digit balance!"

"You're just a pathetic massage boy!"

She took a deep breath and threw her most vicious mockery at Lin Chao with all her might.

"And you think you can buy a 200,000-plus car?"

"I think you're still dreaming and haven't woken up yet!"

Just as she finished speaking...

"Mr. Lin."

A respectful voice came from the side.

The female sales consultant from earlier approached quickly, a professional smile on her face and a file in her hands.

"I have prepared the purchase contract for you. Please take a look, and you can sign if there are no issues."

That "Mr. Lin" was like a thunderclap exploding in Wu Ruolan's ears!

The expression on her face froze instantly.

Lin Chao didn't even spare her a glance.

He took the contract and the pen, and without even looking, he signed his name with a flourish on the final page.

After signing,

he slowly raised his head, his deep eyes landing on Wu Ruolan's stunned face.

His gaze was filled with undisguised mockery.

It was as if he were looking at a monkey jumping around in a one-man show.

Wu Ruolan's mind buzzed, going completely blank!

He... he actually signed it?

He really bought it?!

After a brief moment of shock, she immediately found a "logical" explanation for Lin Chao!

"Hah!" Wu Ruolan forced a sneer to reclaim her dignity. "You must have borrowed from some loan shark to scrape together a down payment, right?"

She crossed her arms and sized Lin Chao up again, her eyes full of malicious speculation.

"With your base salary of 2,500 a month, I'd like to see if you can even afford to eat after paying off your car loan!"

However, Lin Chao simply pulled a black bank card slowly from his pocket.

He handed the card to the sales consultant who was already waiting nearby.

He calmly uttered two words: "Swipe it."

Then, he turned to look at Wu Ruolan, whose expression had completely frozen. A playful curve formed at the corner of his mouth.

"I'm so sorry."

"I'm paying in full."

Boom!

The words "in full" were like two heavy hammers slamming into Wu Ruolan's skull!

She was completely dumbfounded.

She stood there like a stone statue.

Her mouth hung open like a duck being strangled, unable to make a sound.

Over 200,000... in full?

How was that possible!

Beside her, the arrogance on Yang Feiyue's face had also vanished, replaced by a complex expression of surprise and scrutiny.

At this moment, Wu Ruolan's dignity was trampled under Lin Chao's feet and crushed to pieces!

But she refused to accept it!

She took a sharp breath, like a drowning person grabbing at a final straw, and shrieked.

"So what!"

"It's just a crappy domestic car worth 200,000!"

She clung tightly to Yang Feiyue's arm as if it could provide her with endless courage.

"Compared to our Young Master Yang's porsche, your car isn't even fit to lick its tires!"

Lin Chao laughed again. "Does his porsche have a damn thing to do with you?"

"Furthermore," Lin Chao's gaze shifted to Yang Feiyue with a hint of faint pity, "he just happened to be born into the right family."

"He just has a good father."

These words not only completely crushed Wu Ruolan but also stung Yang Feiyue deeply!

Wu Ruolan shook with rage, and her eyes turned red instantly.

She spun around and pulled on Yang Feiyue's arm piteously, her voice soft and tearful.

"Young Master Yang~~~"

"Look at him! He's bullying me!"

Yang Feiyue's face had long since darkened to the point where it looked like it could drip ink.

Wu Ruolan had told him countless times that Lin Chao was just a penniless loser!

But now, this loser could actually buy a 200,000-plus car in full?

This defied all logic!

Yang Feiyue narrowed his eyes and stared intently at Lin Chao, as if trying to spot some flaw in him.

He took a step forward and questioned in an unfriendly tone, "Kid, I suspect this money of yours didn't come from a legitimate source!"

Lin Chao merely gave him a contemptuous glance. "Then call the police."

Having said that, he ignored the pair of clowns and took the brand-new car keys from the sales consultant.

"Beep beep."

The lights of the black SUV in the center of the showroom flashed twice.

Lin Chao pulled open the car door and sat inside.

The engine let out a low roar, like an awakening beast.

He stepped on the gas!

The black SUV instantly shot forward like an arrow from a bow!

The wheels kicked up a gust of wind, narrowly missing the tips of Wu Ruolan's expensive high heels!

"Ah—!"

Wu Ruolan let out a piercing scream and jumped back in a panic. Her heel twisted, and she fell clumsily into Yang Feiyue's arms in an incredibly unsightly manner.

Lin Chao watched the figures of the two wretches grow smaller and more blurred in the rearview mirror, a cold curve forming on his lips.

Goodbye.

And, never see you again.

Lin Chao's taillights, like two contemptuous red beams, soon disappeared into the distance of the traffic.
