The next morning, which happened to be a Saturday, after washing up, Hu Jing jumped onto Hai Long's bed, lying beside him and teasing him with her hair, she said, "Bro, the big sister from the dorm found us to go out and play today. I'll be playing with them during the day."
Hai Long was still in a drowsy state between being awake and asleep, feeling itchy from the hair, he opened his eyes groggily and saw the little girl teasing him. Seeing Hu Jing's mischievous smile, Hai Long opened the quilt, then grabbed Hu Jing and placed her in his bed, tickling her. Hu Jing had many ticklish spots and kept begging for mercy in the bed.
Hearing the little girl's pleas, Hai Long stopped bullying her, lay flat on the bed, and placed the little girl on his chest, saying, "Girl, if you want to play, go ahead. I have something to do today too."
Hu Jing responded with an "oh" and didn't want to get up from Hai Long's arms. Seeing her comfortable and content, Hai Long found Hu Jing particularly cute.
Lying there comfortably, Hai Long also felt very relaxed. The two soft mounds of the little girl were pressing against his chest, making him feel extremely comfortable. The two, too lazy to get up, slept for another hour.
At 8 a.m., after sending Hu Jing out, Hai Long called Li Guohui and said, "Old Li, it's Saturday today. Those guys are catching crabs, so you don't need to take them for training. How about we go car shopping?"
Li Guohui had been thinking about this recently. He had told Hai Long that after New Year's Day, some car prices would drop, and now many 4S stores had already reduced their prices. It was a good time to take Hai Long car shopping. Li Guohui said, "Sure, I'll take a bus back to the city to meet you."
They agreed on a meeting place, and Hai Long took a taxi straight there. Hai Long had been thinking for a while that if he was going to buy a car, he should get a good one to avoid any issues at critical moments. People always said that Mercedes-Benz SUVs were good, so Hai Long decided to check out the Mercedes-Benz 4S store first and buy a car if it was good.
The first car Hai Long saw was the Mercedes-Benz GLK300. He felt it was a good car, with excellent performance and ample space, not feeling crowded with five people. However, Hai Long was still a novice when it came to buying cars, so he asked Li Guohui, "What do you think of this car?"
Li Guohui said, "This car is pretty good, you can buy it. It's fine for off-road driving too."
Since the expert had spoken, Hai Long had no objections. He called over the manager and said, "I want five Mercedes-Benz GLK300s, and I want to take delivery now."
As the manager of a Mercedes-Benz store, he had long developed a keen eye for spotting big spenders. From the moment Hai Long and Li Guohui entered, the manager noticed Hai Long's Versace casual wear and knew he was a big spender. However, the manager never imagined that this big spender was so wealthy, buying five Mercedes-Benz GLK300s, each costing 500,000 yuan, in one go.
Hearing Hai Long's words, the manager, who was already bowing, bent another 5 centimeters, smiling and said, "Boss, please follow me. We'll sign the contract, and you can take the cars today. Since there are only two of you, we can provide a driver for free."
Hai Long was very satisfied with the service, casually responded with an "uh-huh," and asked Li Guohui to wait on the seat while he followed the manager to pay.
Li Guohui, with his leg injury, limped to the rest area to sit on the sofa. Just as he sat down, he looked up and was shocked, his heart racing, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the armrest and sat down, staring at the couple across from him.
The woman was none other than Li Guohui's ex-girlfriend, the one who had left him for money. She also looked at Li Guohui in surprise, seeing his limping, and a look of disdain appeared on her face. She said, "I didn't expect to run into you here. What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?"
The woman's boyfriend also looked at Li Guohui. He was a man wearing a tank top, a large gold chain around his neck, and sunglasses on his face. He said disdainfully, "Honey, this is the ex-boyfriend you mentioned, the mercenary? He's not much, and he's a cripple."
The woman said irritably, "Exactly, who knew he was so useless. If I hadn't met you, I would have been held back by him for who knows how long."
The man said sternly to Li Guohui, "Kid, this woman is my girlfriend now. You'd better stay away from her. You're still stalking her after breaking up. What do you want?" He then stood in front of Li Guohui, as if to intimidate him.
Li Guohui's heart was in pain, seeing his beloved in the arms of a man who spewed foul words and looked like a pig. It was a heart-wrenching feeling.
Closing his eyes in frustration, he said to the woman hysterically, "Do you love money so much that you don't even care about your dignity?"
His words hit a nerve with the woman, who said sharply, "Where do I love money? Where do I love luxury? My current husband is a hundred times better than you. What right do you have to say such things to me?" In fact, she was with the man for the money. Otherwise, who would like a man who spewed foul words, dressed sloppily, was short, and fat like a pig? But this was a taboo topic for her.
The salesperson, not expecting this scene, feared a fight that might ruin business, quickly ran to the woman and said, "Miss, the contract is ready, please sign it." The woman had come to buy a car and had already negotiated with the salesperson. She angrily waved the contract in front of Li Guohui, saying, "Even if I love luxury, so what? My husband is happy to let me love luxury. He can give me a villa and a luxury car. What can you give me? What right do you have to say such things to me?" She then signed the contract with a flourish. The car she bought wasn't a great one, just a decent Mercedes-Benz B-Class compact car, costing a little over 230,000 yuan.
Li Guohui, heartbroken and desperate, said, "Is money so important that it's more important than love? I became crippled for you, and you left me for this man for money." He showed his injured right leg, unable to control his emotions.
The woman said sternly, "Yes, I do love money. What's wrong with that? If you can't give me what I want, don't hold me back. I've been with you for so many years, and I've been kind to you. What right do you have to ask me to continue sacrificing for you?"
From the moment Li Guohui started arguing with the woman, Hai Long had been paying attention. He pointed to Li Guohui and gestured for the manager to be quiet.
The manager understood and let Hai Long see what was happening. Hai Long had heard the details of Li Guohui's argument with his ex-girlfriend. He called the manager over and said, "See that woman and that guy? They're bullying my brother. How about we put on a show?"
The manager, who also disapproved of the woman and the man's behavior, was happy to help Hai Long and said, "I can't stand it either. How do you want to do it?"
Hai Long said with a smile, "In a bit, bring these five contracts to Li Guohui and have him sign them. Then bring a car key. I'll pretend to be the driver, and we'll give that [bitch] a good scare. She's so shameless, bullying my brother. I'll make her regret it."
The manager was surprised and said, "Boss, if Li Guohui signs these five contracts, the cars will be his. You should sign them first."
Hai Long took off his Versace jacket, revealing an Italian brand shirt that wasn't very well-known, and said impatiently, "Who has the patience to wait? Go quickly. I trust my brother won't take my 2.5 million yuan."
The manager gave Hai Long a thumbs up and said, "You're a great boss. Working for you must be very comfortable." He then took the five car contracts and ran to Li Guohui.
At that moment, Li Guohui was being humiliated by the sharp-tongued woman. Seeing the manager run over, he saw the manager separate the two and said to Li Guohui, "Boss, the contracts for the five Mercedes-Benz GLK300s are ready. Please review and sign them."
Li Guohui was surprised and was about to say that he should find Hai Long to sign, but he saw Hai Long running over and giving him a wink. Hai Long then said to Li Guohui, "Boss, I've test-driven all five cars, and they're all in good condition."
Seeing Hai Long's wink, Li Guohui understood that Hai Long was playing along with the manager. He coughed and said, "Alright, if my driver thinks they're fine, I'll buy all five Mercedes-Benz GLK300s."
Hai Long handed Li Guohui the keys and said, "Boss, the secretary from the municipal committee just called. The mayor invited you to his office at 10 a.m. and hopes you'll arrive on time. It's already 9:30, so we need to leave quickly."
Li Guohui said, "Alright, let's go now," and prepared to leave. Throughout the conversation between Hai Long and the manager, the woman watched from the side. When the manager brought out the five contracts, she thought to herself, "Li Guohui, you're just putting on a show. How could you afford five Mercedes-Benz cars? When we broke up, I drained all your bank accounts. Where could you have gotten the money?"
However, after Li Guohui signed the contracts, the five cars were immediately driven to the scene. Li Guohui used the keys given to him by Hai Long, who was pretending to be the driver, to open the car doors and start the engines. The woman felt like she was going crazy. These were five Mercedes-Benz cars, worth over 2 million yuan in total. Seeing Li Guohui pay so casually, she knew he had much more money. As Li Guohui started the car and prepared to leave, the woman ran to his car and said sharply, "Li Guohui, where did you get so much money? When we broke up, you had nothing. Where did you get the money? I don't believe you have money. Are you all putting on a show to trick me?"
Hai Long, the manager, and Li Guohui all chuckled to themselves, thinking, "Yes, we are putting on a show to trick you. How does it feel? I'll make you regret it, you [bitch]."
