Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan got out of the car and walked directly into the store named Dinghui Luxury Car Merchant.

As soon as they entered, they saw various luxury cars filling the entire hall.

Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces, McLarens, and so on.

All of them were top-tier luxury cars.

Just as the two were looking at cars, a voice came from behind them.

"Lanlan, are you here to buy a car?" The voice carried a hint of eagerness.

Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan both turned around and saw a young man, dressed in a suit and tie, with a mature, slicked-back hairstyle.

He was clearly very young and handsome, but the hairstyle made him look a bit older.

"Jin Yong, you're here too. Are you here to buy a car?" Ji Qinglan didn't show much emotional reaction towards the man.

Jin Yong's family and Ji Qinglan's family were old family friends.

At the same time, he harbored a hidden affection for Ji Qinglan.

"Yeah, I came to look at cars. I plan to get a new one; I'm tired of the old one. By the way, who is this?"

Jin Yong had noticed Xiao Bei earlier, but after thinking for a moment, he couldn't recall ever seeing this person in the Hangzhou social circles.

When Jin Yong asked, his tone was very polite, but Xiao Bei saw a flicker of hostility in Jin Yong's eyes.

Xiao Bei inwardly sighed, So many suitors for my wife.

Ji Qinglan said calmly, "This is my boyfriend, Xiao Bei."

Jin Yong was stunned upon hearing this. His expression immediately turned a bit gloomy, but he still forced a polite smile and looked at Xiao Bei. "I didn't expect you to be Lanlan's boyfriend. Brother Xiao, are you here to look at cars too?"

"Just browsing," Xiao Bei replied coolly.

Jin Yong, having hit a soft nail, was displeased and added, "Little brother, which one caught your eye? Let me introduce you. I know Mr. Chen, the owner of this place, so I can get you a discount. After all, you are Lanlan's boyfriend."

Jin Yong's words carried a hidden barb, implying that without Ji Qinglan's connection, Xiao Bei wouldn't even get a discount. It was a provocation and a test for Xiao Bei.

Before Xiao Bei could say anything, Ji Qinglan frowned inwardly, but remembering that their families were old friends, she suppressed her displeasure and said, "Jin Yong, it's alright. We'll just look around ourselves!"

The sales consultant accompanying Jin Yong remained silent throughout the conversation, standing aside to observe the unfolding situation. It wasn't appropriate for him to get involved in the customers' disputes.

Who was Xiao Bei? From his tone just now, one could sense his sense of superiority. However, Xiao Bei's face remained calm, and he even smiled and asked, "Brother Jin, what are you planning to buy?"

Jin Yong's lips curved upwards. "I'm just looking around too. Mainly, I'm tired of my old 'Big Bull,' so I'm planning to get a Ferrari F8 for fun."

His tone was incredibly smug.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly upon hearing this. "That's great, Brother Jin. The F8 is quite good."

Jin Yong smiled slightly. "It's not just 'quite good'; it's practically Ferrari's top-of-the-line. If I had enough money, I would have gone for the LaFerrari!"

"I see. By the way, how much is the F8?" Xiao Bei suddenly asked the sales consultant.

The sales consultant replied, "The base price for the Ferrari F8 is 3.42 million. With optional extras, it usually ranges between 4.5 to 6 million!"

Hearing the sales consultant's words, Jin Yong became even more smug. Seeing that Xiao Bei was quite young, he continued, "What's wrong, Brother Xiao? Are you planning to get one too? Actually, you look very young; you're probably still a university student. At your age, you could consider other cars. After all, the F8 is quite expensive, and considering its depreciation, it might not be very friendly to you!"

Xiao Bei looked at Jin Yong and said, "Brother Jin is right. I'm actually not planning to buy an F8!"

Jin Yong inwardly scorned Xiao Bei, That's it?

But with Ji Qinglan present, he didn't dare to show his anger. If Ji Qinglan weren't there, he would have definitely threatened Xiao Bei to stay away from her.

So, he smiled and said, "Little Brother Xiao, it's okay. You're still young; you'll have opportunities to drive an F8."

While seemingly comforting Xiao Bei, he was actually mocking him.

Ji Qinglan smiled slightly upon hearing Jin Yong's words, You're showing off in front of my husband?

Looking at Xiao Bei's calm and composed demeanor, Ji Qinglan knew that Xiao Bei was about to show off again.

"Brother Jin, you misunderstood me. I'm not buying the F8 because it's too cheap!"

Jin Yong's smug expression instantly froze. He was trying to show off, but Xiao Bei had turned the tables and was showing off himself?

A car worth at least 5 million is too cheap?

Jin Yong felt like he was being played and let out a soft scoff. "Brother Xiao, so you're a big shot. What are you planning to buy that you look down on the F8?"

Xiao Bei remained calm and composed as he replied, "I'm not really knowledgeable about cars, nor do I understand performance. But I know that the more expensive ones are definitely better. I happened to look into it yesterday when I was considering buying a car. At least a LaFerrari, a 918, or a McLaren P1 would barely qualify!"

"Oh, right. I remember your store has a LaFerrari, doesn't it?" Xiao Bei looked at the sales consultant and added, "It should. I specifically checked before coming to avoid making a mistake and looking foolish!"

Jin Yong's expression turned a little unpleasant. He was indeed very familiar with cars. The LaFerrari that Xiao Bei just mentioned was the car he had boasted about earlier, the one he would buy if he had enough money!

In fact, the LaFerrari is a limited edition, and it's not easy to buy a new one; there are many requirements. Therefore, people usually buy LaFerraris from pre-owned luxury car dealerships. However, don't think that because it's pre-owned, the price is cheap. On the contrary, the price is still very high because it's a car that holds its value and appreciates.

Jin Yong was just putting on a show. Although his family was wealthy, he wasn't allowed to spend so much money on a car!

Now Xiao Bei was saying he wanted to buy a LaFerrari?

So, his earlier boasting had been completely undermined?

The sales consultant, upon hearing this, confirmed to Xiao Bei, "Yes, Mr. Xiao, our store does have a LaFerrari in stock. It has only been driven for 2,000 kilometers, practically a new car. It's Tiffany Blue!"

Jin Yong no longer wanted to speak, but he still didn't believe Xiao Bei could afford a LaFerrari.

"Is this guy really buying, or is he just pretending?" Jin Yong had been repeatedly embarrassed, but he didn't leave. He wanted to see if Xiao Bei was really going to buy it.

If Xiao Bei didn't buy it? Then he would mercilessly mock him!
