A Surprise for You

President Zhang was old enough to be Ma Weiwei's father.

He had kept hemming and hawing instead of immediately deciding which place to buy because he had his eye on Ma Weiwei's looks and wanted to take advantage of her.

He had asked Ma Weiwei to call Lin Fei over, but he hadn't genuinely wanted to hire Lin Fei to decorate his home.

He had only wanted to use the opportunity to flaunt his superiority as a rich man and make Ma Weiwei admire him.

Now that he knew about Lin Fei and Ma Weiwei's relationship, President Zhang had deliberately claimed he wanted to marry Ma Weiwei to take Lin Fei down a peg and save face.

Ma Weiwei had always wanted to marry a rich man, but she had never had the opportunity.

Now that President Zhang had proposed to her, she was pleasantly surprised. She even wanted to thank Lin Fei.

If Lin Fei hadn't given her a helping hand, she would never have had a chance to marry into a wealthy family.

Although President Zhang was a little old, old husbands and young wives were common among the wealthy.

"President Zhang, do you mean it? You're not joking with me, are you?"

President Zhang said solemnly, "Of course I'm not joking. Actually, I liked you from the first time I saw you. That's why I chose to buy a house from you."

Ma Weiwei hurriedly pressed close to him and clung to his arm.

President Zhang puffed out his chest, looking thoroughly pleased with himself, like a proud rooster.

"Kid, see that?"

"Not only can I afford a villa, I can even buy the woman who used to be yours."

Watching Ma Weiwei fawn over him like a shameless gold-digger, Lin Fei didn't feel the slightest bit sad. If anything, he felt relieved.

A woman who couldn't even show a little restraint in the face of money—

if he'd really married her, who knew how many times she might have cheated on him.

"You two really are a good match..."

Lin Fei took out his phone and transferred two hundred yuan to Ma Weiwei through WeChat.

"Ma Weiwei, I just sent you two hundred yuan. Here's the transfer record."

Lin Fei held his phone up in front of Ma Weiwei and President Zhang, deliberately showing them the bank transfer notification.

"Dear Mr. Lin Fei, two hundred yuan was just transferred out of the bank card linked to your account ending in 8854. Your balance is 59,999,902 yuan."

"Who cares about your two hundred yuan..."

Ma Weiwei's eyes suddenly widened. Thinking she must have read it wrong, she rubbed them and looked again.

"How much is in your bank account? Am I seeing things?"

President Zhang leaned closer too. The disdain on his face gradually faded, replaced by utter shock.

"Millions, tens of millions... Eight digits. That's 59,999,902 yuan..."

Lin Fei put his phone away and smiled. "It's just pocket change. About what you make in a day, President Zhang."

President Zhang looked somewhat embarrassed.

Suddenly, he felt like a clown.

There wasn't even that much money in his own bank account.

Ma Weiwei was just as shocked, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"Lin Fei, you... Where did you get all that money?"

Lin Fei didn't answer her. Instead, he said, "Oh, right, President Zhang. That villa belongs to me. If you buy one here, we'll be neighbors."

"You already know about Weiwei and me. We're all friends now, so we should keep in touch. Feel free to drop by."

President Zhang fell silent, as if Arthur's first skill had hit him.

Ma Weiwei came to her senses and immediately let go of President Zhang, hurrying toward Lin Fei.

"Lin Fei, everything was my fault before. I've always loved you..."

"Weiwei, what's past is past. I wish you and President Zhang a lifetime of happiness. Don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet. I did give you a wedding gift, after all."

Lin Fei took a few steps back, not giving Ma Weiwei a chance to get close, then turned and ran off.

"President Zhang, let's go running together sometime. Bye!"

Ma Weiwei turned to look at President Zhang. Since things with Lin Fei were impossible, President Zhang was now her only chance to marry into a wealthy family.

"President Zhang..."

"Bitch!"

President Zhang swung his hand and slapped Ma Weiwei across the face, leaving her stunned.

"You had such a rich boyfriend and still weren't satisfied!"

"I hate women like you most of all—you've got food in your bowl and your eyes on the pot. You're a used-up slut who's probably been with God knows how many men. You really think I'd marry you?"

President Zhang stormed off, leaving Ma Weiwei alone, reeling in the wind.

After leaving the Linjiang Immortal Villa Complex, Lin Fei hailed a taxi that happened to be passing by.

"Where to?"

"Driver, you know where the car dealerships are, right?"

"Sure. There are lots of dealerships on Huaguang Road. Are you going to buy a car?"

"Yeah, I want a car to get around in. Do the dealerships have Ferraris?"

Lin Fei's question left the driver speechless once again.

Taking a taxi to buy a Ferrari?

What a show-off. That was beautiful!

The driver thought Lin Fei was bragging, so he didn't take him too seriously.

"They have Ferraris. If you buy one in a bit, could you let me sit in it and try it out?"

"Hahaha, no problem."

The two chatted and laughed as they headed to a Ferrari dealership.

When they arrived, Lin Fei paid the fare and got out.

As soon as he entered the dealership, a female sales rep came over to greet him.

But when she saw Lin Fei's ordinary clothes, the smile vanished from her face.

"Hello, sir. Are you here to buy a car?"

She'd seen too many people who couldn't afford a Ferrari but came in just to test-drive one.

She had already pegged Lin Fei as one of them.

Lin Fei didn't notice her attitude and curiously looked over the cars in the showroom.

"Do you only have these few cars?"

"These are only some of the models we have on display. All our cars are imported. Some of our high-end models need to be ordered in advance, and then you have to wait a few months for them to arrive."

Lin Fei immediately spotted a Ferrari—the same model Wu Yuqing drove.

"How much is this one?"

"5.32 million yuan. If you pay in full, we can give you a discount. If you want to pay in installments, the down payment is 40 percent, which is a little over 2.1 million."

"Oh. Can I take it for a test drive?"

The saleswoman couldn't help rolling her eyes. As expected, he was another person who'd come just to get a taste of a test drive.

"Sir, you need to show proof of funds before you can test-drive a car here."

Usually, once people who couldn't afford a Ferrari heard that they had to prove they had the money, they backed off and made an excuse to leave.

Lin Fei opened his mobile banking app and showed her the screen.

"Is this enough?"

The saleswoman glanced at his account balance, and her expression changed in an instant. She smiled brightly and became incredibly enthusiastic.

"That's more than enough, sir! Then I'll accompany you on the test drive."

"Would you like to drive, or should I?"

Although Lin Fei had a driver's license, he'd never driven a car since getting it, so he had very little driving experience.

"You drive."

The saleswoman drove Lin Fei out for a test drive. They took a lap around the area, then pulled over by the side of the road.

"Sir, what do you think of this model? Would you like to place an order today?"

Just as Lin Fei was considering it, the saleswoman suddenly placed her hand on his thigh and gently stroked it.

"Sir, if you place your order today, there'll be a special surprise for you!"
