F8 Was Indeed Good, but I Was Buying a LaFerrari

Xiao Bei and Ji Qinglan got out of the car and walked straight into a shop called Dinghui Luxury Car Merchant.

The moment they entered, they saw all kinds of luxury cars displayed throughout the hall.

Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Rolls-Royces, McLarens, and more.

They were all top-tier luxury cars.

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

"Qinglan, 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 in a suit, his hair slicked back in a mature, grown-up style.

He was clearly young and handsome, but that hairstyle made him seem somewhat older than he was.

"Jin Yong, you're here too? Are you buying a car?" Ji Qinglan showed little emotional reaction toward him.

Jin Yong's family and Ji Qinglan's family had been friends for generations.

At the same time, he had some feelings for Ji Qinglan, though he hid them well.

"Yeah, I came to look at cars. I'm planning to switch to another one; I'm tired of driving my old one. By the way, who is this?"

Jin Yong had noticed Xiao Bei from the beginning, but after thinking it over, he realized he had never seen anyone like him in Hangzhou's social circles.

Though Jin Yong sounded polite when he asked, Xiao Bei caught a trace of hostility in his eyes.

Xiao Bei sighed inwardly. My wife really has a lot of admirers.

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

Jin Yong froze at once. His expression darkened slightly, but he still forced a polite smile as he looked at Xiao Bei. "So you're Qinglan's boyfriend. Brother Xiao, are you here to look at cars too?"

"Just looking around," Xiao Bei replied indifferently.

Jin Yong had been rebuffed and felt displeased. He pressed on, asking, "Which model have you got your eye on, little brother? I can introduce it to you. I know the owner of this shop, Boss Chen, so I might even be able to get you a discount. After all, you are Qinglan's boyfriend."

There was a barb hidden in Jin Yong's words: if not for Ji Qinglan, Xiao Bei would not even qualify for a discount. It was also a challenge and a test directed at 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 fine. We'll look around ourselves."

The sales consultant following Jin Yong had not participated in the conversation at all. He merely stood to the side and watched the situation unfold. Customers could settle their own disputes; it would not be appropriate for him to get involved.

Xiao Bei could tell from Jin Yong's tone that the man was full of superiority. Still, Xiao Bei remained calm and even smiled as he asked, "What are you planning to buy, Brother Jin?"

Jin Yong curled his lips. "I'm just looking around too. Mainly because I'm tired of driving my Lamborghini, so I'm thinking of getting a Ferrari F8 to play around with."

His tone could not have been more smug.

Xiao Bei smiled slightly. "Sounds good, Brother Jin. The F8 is pretty nice."

Jin Yong smiled faintly. "It's more than pretty nice. It's practically one of Ferrari's top models. If I had enough money, I'd have gone for a LaFerrari!"

"I see. By the way, how much is the F8 again?" Xiao Bei suddenly turned to the sales consultant beside them and asked.

The sales consultant replied, "The base price for a Ferrari F8 is 3.42 million yuan. With options, it usually comes to between 4.5 and 6 million yuan."

Upon hearing that, Jin Yong became even more smug. Seeing that Xiao Bei looked young, he continued, "What is it, Brother Xiao? Are you thinking of getting one too? Honestly, you look pretty young. You should still be a college student, right? At your age, you could buy something else. The F8 is rather expensive, and with its resale value, it isn't very friendly to you."

Xiao Bei looked at Jin Yong and said, "Brother Jin is right. I really wasn't planning to buy an F8."

Jin Yong sneered inwardly. That's it?

But with Ji Qinglan standing beside him, he did not let his temper flare. If she had not been there, he would definitely have threatened Xiao Bei into leaving her.

So he smiled and said, "Little Brother Xiao, it's all right. You're still young. You'll have a chance to drive an F8 someday."

It sounded like he was comforting Xiao Bei, but he was actually mocking him.

After hearing Jin Yong's words, Ji Qinglan smiled inwardly. Showing off in front of my husband?

Seeing Xiao Bei's calm and composed expression, Ji Qinglan knew it. Fine, Xiao Bei was about to start showing off again!

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

The smug look on Jin Yong's face instantly froze. He had been trying to show off, only for Xiao Bei to turn around and outdo him?

A car worth at least 5 million yuan was too cheap?

Jin Yong felt that he was being toyed with. He snorted coldly. "Brother Xiao, so you're a big shot. What exactly do you plan to buy, if the F8 isn't good enough for you?"

Xiao Bei remained perfectly composed as he said, "I'm not really someone who understands cars, and I don't know much about performance either. But I know the more expensive ones are definitely better. Since I was considering buying a car yesterday, I looked into it a little. At the very least, a LaFerrari, a 918, or a McLaren P1 would barely qualify, right?"

"Oh, right. I seem to remember your shop has a LaFerrari?" Xiao Bei looked at the sales consultant and added, "You should have one. I specifically checked before coming here so I wouldn't get it wrong and make a fool of myself."

Jin Yong's expression turned somewhat ugly. He really did know cars well. The LaFerrari Xiao Bei had just mentioned was exactly the car Jin Yong had bragged about buying if only he had enough money.

The LaFerrari was a limited-edition car, and even buying a new one was difficult because there were many requirements. Therefore, people usually bought LaFerraris from secondhand luxury car dealers like this one. But secondhand did not mean cheap. On the contrary, they were still extremely expensive because they held their value and even appreciated.

Jin Yong had only been bragging. His family was wealthy too, but they would never allow him to spend that much money on a car.

And now Xiao Bei was saying he wanted to buy a LaFerrari?

So had his bragging just been completely crushed?

The sales consultant answered Xiao Bei with certainty, "Yes, Mr. Xiao. We really do have a LaFerrari in stock. It has only driven 2,000 kilometers, so it's practically a new car. It's Tiffany Blue!"

Jin Yong no longer wanted to speak, but inwardly, he still did not believe Xiao Bei could afford a LaFerrari.

Was this guy really buying one, or was he just showing off? Jin Yong had been slapped in the face repeatedly, yet he did not leave. Instead, he wanted to see whether Xiao Bei truly intended to buy it.

If Xiao Bei did not buy it, then Jin Yong would mock him without mercy!
