85: Chapter 85 The Mercedes-Benz 4S Dealership's Series of Scams

The two walked out of the old building one after the other. Neither mentioned that "academic magazine" in the bedroom, and the lingering awkwardness still hung in the air.

Tang Luochuan broke the silence first, raising his hand to hail a taxi: "Let's go to the 4S dealership first."

Su Wantang was stunned for a moment: "Why go there?"

"To buy a car. We can't keep taking a taxi back to the village every time," Tang Luochuan said nonchalantly.

"Oh~"

Su Wantang didn't say anything else, but Tang Luochuan couldn't help himself.

"What were you doing in my room just now..."

The woman's expression froze instantly. She had a guilty conscience; Tang Luochuan asked her 'what she was doing,' but in her ears, it sounded like 'what she was looking at.'

"I didn't look at anything!"

"I didn't say you were looking at anything; don't incriminate yourself."

"I didn't~"

"What didn't you do?"

"Nothing means nothing; I didn't look at anything at all."

"Oh~," Tang Luochuan replied.

Su Wantang also sensed something was wrong: Tang Luochuan shouldn't be such a shy person.

She could tell the guy was a bit embarrassed. His words just now had a probing quality, as if there were things he couldn't bring himself to say.

It was obvious this guy knew what she had done.

"Did he find out?"

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership, and Tang Luochuan pushed the door open and got out.

Su Wantang followed behind, dawdling. Her heart was still caught up in the matter of that magazine, and she stole a glance at him every two steps.

Seeing his calm expression, she panicked even more: 'Is this guy really not bothered, or is he holding back some malice and wanting to tease her?'

A salesperson in the showroom was quick-witted. Seeing that the pair had an impressive air, they immediately came up to greet them: "Sir and Madam, which car model would you like to see? For family use or commuting?"

"E300, Luxury trim, do you have any in stock in black?" Tang Luochuan went straight to the point.

The salesperson's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! It just arrived in stock, all the paperwork is ready. Let me take you to see it!"

But Tang Luochuan didn't move: "No need to look. Just tell me how much it is if you have it."

"Uh... it's 464,800 right now, the total on-the-road price is around 560,000..."

"Lower the price."

"Hmm~~," the salesperson was a bit confused; they were a car salesperson, not a supermarket cashier.

Not even looking at the item, buying a car like buying groceries.

"You actually know how to haggle," Su Wantang said, covering her mouth and giggling on the side.

Tang Luochuan didn't actually know how to haggle, but in his view, the words 'lower the price' were a necessary phrase to prevent himself from becoming a sucker.

Even if you have money, you can't let people treat you like a fool.

If you don't haggle when buying a car, the salesperson won't sincerely thank you; they'll only silently pray for more suckers like you.

"Please wait a moment..." The salesperson sized the two up. Although they couldn't glean much information, the woman's Hermès bag caught their attention.

They must be people with some money.

He then took the two to the lounge: "The two of you, please sit here for a moment. I'll go ask the manager."

Once the salesperson left, the room became stuffy again.

Su Wantang had something on her mind, and whenever Tang Luochuan made eye contact with her, she immediately looked elsewhere.

Either she pretended to scan the layout of the lounge, or she pretended to be curious about the cars.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye and discovered that Tang Luochuan was still looking at her.

She immediately pulled out a magazine from the Mercedes-Benz dealership on the side and started reading it.

Even though she had no interest in cars whatsoever, she had to pretend at this moment.

"Is the magazine good?"

"Rip~," Su Wantang, who was just about to turn the page, heard this and her hand couldn't help but tremble, tearing a corner off the page.

"You... you... what nonsense are you spouting? I'm not reading it!"

"I asked if the Mercedes-Benz magazine is good? You're acting a bit suspicious here; what are you feeling guilty about?"

Tang Luochuan was also quite embarrassed originally, but he couldn't help wanting to tease her.

As long as he kept the measure right and didn't expose it, he could avoid the awkwardness.

But now he realized that "as long as you aren't embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is someone else," so he might as well let Su Wantang continue to be embarrassed.

Su Wantang's face turned red. Knowing she had been played, she hurriedly said: "I... I just opened it, how would I know if it's good or not? The cars... are quite nice."

Tang Luochuan: "What car is this?"

Su Wantang: "Isn't this a Mercedes-Benz?"

Tang Luochuan: "What brand is your bag?"

Su Wantang: "Hermès."

Tang Luochuan: "Do you think Jiang Jinyue is pretty?"

Su Wantang: "Tch... pretty."

Tang Luochuan: "Where did you get the magazine?"

Su Wantang: "The bed... it's right on the shelf over here..."

She almost let it slip. In her heart, she cursed Tang Luochuan for being too cunning; she almost said the 'academic magazine' back at home. She hurriedly corrected herself, saying it was a 'car magazine' she took from the shelf nearby.

In the moment of panic, Tang Luochuan asked the crucial question: "What color is the woman's lingerie?"

Su Wantang: "Black lac..." "Tang Luochuan!! I didn't look! I... I looked at the cover and then... then I closed it."

"You only looked at the cover? Then why did you close it? You didn't even open it, did you?"

"Hmm~~ hmm~~," Su Wantang stammered. Finally, she used her ultimate move, preparing to end the conversation: "Tang Luochuan, you're a bastard."

Tang Luochuan: "..."

After saying that, the girl turned her back to him and refused to speak again.

If she said anything, she was guaranteed to be played by this guy.

The guy gave a scornful smile and also left a sentence: "Don't let your imagination run wild when you sleep tonight, otherwise it'll be very uncomfortable."

Su Wantang didn't answer, but it was obvious that her body trembled slightly when she heard this.

Soon, the salesperson gave the final quote: the price of the car alone was 442,800! It had dropped by more than 20,000.

"Okay, that's it! I'll pay in full!" Tang Luochuan didn't waste words. Right now, the feeling of buying a car wasn't as fun as teasing the girl.

Upon hearing this, the salesperson immediately prepared the contract. Looking at Tang Luochuan, they felt he looked familiar: "Sir, you must be from around here, right? I feel like I've seen you before."

"Yes! My dad is Tang Hai, do you know him?"

"Well, I don't know him; maybe I just happened to see him on the street. Are you buying a car with your girlfriend to get married? Quite a few people have been buying cars lately, all for use as wedding cars."

"Is that so..." Tang Luochuan just replied simply.

But Su Wantang looked at him in shock, muttering to herself: "He didn't explain that I'm not his girlfriend."

The Mercedes-Benz E300 drove out of the 4S dealership.

In the passenger seat, Su Wantang had just fastened her seatbelt and started her probing again: "Why didn't you explain just now?"

"Explain what? The study materials? Oh, I bought those secretly. I saved up 10 yuan back in high school. The school didn't teach it, so I taught myself..."

"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about... the salesperson said I'm your girlfriend, why didn't you explain?"

Tang Luochuan drove the car steadily, feeling amused in his heart. This girl was the type who said only half of what she meant, and said things very vaguely.

Hesitant and indecisive, not at all resolute.

So he had to give her a taste of her own medicine; if she spoke vaguely, he would be even vaguer.

Tang Luochuan: "I didn't admit it either."

"Then if you don't explain, doesn't that mean you're tacitly agreeing?"

"You didn't explain either; do you count as tacitly agreeing?"

"I don't know!"

"Then I don't know either."

"Tang Luochuan, you're a bastard."

"Say that again and I'll throw you out on the side of the road..."
