Luxury Cars Delivered One After Another
Su Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly at these words, and just as he was about to open his mouth in reprimand, he saw a middle-aged man pushing his way through the crowd. Holding a set of car keys, the man walked up respectfully to him.
"Hello, Mr. Su. I've parked your car by the roadside. Could you please come and inspect it?"
Su Zheng was momentarily stunned. He hadn't even had a chance to buy a car yet, so how on earth had someone managed to have one delivered right to his doorstep?
Chen Muxue furrowed her brows slightly as well, wondering if there had been some terrible mistake. She tugged at Su Zheng's arm with a look of skeptical confusion.
"Rest assured, Mr. Su, our dealership wouldn't make a mistake. This was entrusted to us by a friend of yours to be delivered today. Your friend also mentioned that they thoroughly enjoyed last night's gathering and hopes to maintain this friendship with you indefinitely," the middle-aged man explained politely, neither servile nor overbearing.
Suddenly, it all clicked for Su Zheng. He knew this car must have been sent by either Li Yanze or Li Yanjun. He hadn't expected the two Li brothers to go to such painstaking lengths just to maintain a cordial relationship with him.
"Alright, thank you for the trouble!" Su Zheng replied with a smile after figuring it out.
"It couldn't be a bicycle, could it?!"
"Hehe... I think an electric bicycle is a distinct possibility!"
"Hahaha..."
Someone in the crowd called out, immediately followed by others chiming in with mockery, triggering another burst of uproarious laughter.
In the eyes of these people, given Su Zheng's status, there was simply no way he could ever afford a car; otherwise, he wouldn't need to rely on living off a woman!
Standing to the side, Ye Lang watched with a detached, keen interest, his face plastered with a mocking, nonchalant smile. He believed that if Su Zheng thought he could keep Chen Muxue's heart with a stunt like this, he was merely humiliating himself.
"Uh... Holy crap! A Cullinan? A Rolls-Royce Cullinan?!"
"Goodness me, since when has a top-tier luxury car like that been parked by the road? Apart from seeing them online, I've never laid eyes on a real one before!"
"Damn, a luxury car on the level of a Cullinan must cost at least several million, right?!"
"Tch, what do you know! A car like that starts at eight million at the very least, and fully optioned ones can easily run into the tens of millions! Such a lack of exposure!"
"Quick, I need to go take a picture next to the car. This is a rare opportunity!"
"..."
Someone on the outer edge of the crowd finally spotted the Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked by the roadside, and the entire gathering instantly erupted into chaos.
As these remarks rippled through the crowd, the majority of the onlookers shifted their attention toward the Cullinan. Compared to the public confession unfolding here, people were far more fascinated by a luxury vehicle of the Cullinan's caliber.
At this moment, Chen Muxue's beautiful eyes were filled with profound shock. Never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that the Li family would go to such extravagant lengths as to deliver a luxury vehicle of this magnitude to Su Zheng!
"Everyone, please step aside and refrain from touching the vehicle, alright? My buyer has yet to inspect this car, so you'd all better not stand too close. Should any damage occur, you'll be held personally liable for the compensation!" the delivery driver warned with a stern and serious expression, before turning to Su Zheng with an exceptionally deferential bow:
"Mr. Su, please proceed with the inspection!"
"Uh..."
The crowd of people who had been eagerly pressing forward hoping to stroke the Cullinan were left completely dumbfounded. They even began to wonder if something was wrong with their hearing.
This Cullinan was a gift for that freeloader... that useless kept man?
How could that possibly be?!
Ye Lang's brows locked tightly together, a faint sensation of burning heat rising across his face.
He narrowed his eyes as he stared at the majestic luxury vehicle resting quietly in the distance, a flicker of secret envy stirring within his heart.
Even he didn't own a car of that caliber yet. He truly couldn't fathom who would be wealthy enough and generous enough to gift such a vehicle to Su Zheng for free.
Bathed in the warm glow of the setting twilight, the black Cullinan possessed the diamond-black luster of a nocturnal sovereign—both opulent and fiercely dynamic, radiating an air of overwhelming majesty and grandeur.
Glancing at the red Porsche 718 parked right beside him, Ye Lang felt his face burn even more intensely.
His car capped out at a million at most. Compared to the Cullinan in the distance, it looked nothing more than a toy car, entirely out of its league and in a completely different tier!
Su Zheng walked calmly toward the Cullinan, and the surrounding onlookers instinctively parted the way for him. The gazes they cast his way were no longer tainted with disdain; instead, they were laced with unease and regret, secretly kicking themselves for running their mouths earlier, completely unaware that the young man before them was the genuinely wealthy one!
Didn't they hear it just now? This Cullinan was a gift from the man's friend!
Good grief, to be able to give away a luxury car of this magnitude just to maintain a friendship with this young man—what kind of status and background must he possess?!
"Alright, you can head back now. Sorry for the trouble."
Su Zheng gave the car's condition a brief inspection and signaled to the middle-aged man that he was free to leave.
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully, climbed back into the delivery transport, and drove away.
An awkward silence fell over the scene. No one spoke; they all kept their heads down, lost in their own turbulent thoughts.
After a full minute or so, someone finally mustered the courage to cautiously begin flattering Su Zheng.
"Ahem... A luxury car suits a man of peerless talent, a match made in heaven!"
"Hehe... I could tell right from the start that this gentleman's words and demeanor were extraordinary. Only a luxury car of this tier is worthy of your status!"
"Was that clown earlier trying to be funny? Daring to strut around in a car worth less than a million, utterly devoid of self-awareness. People coming from the capital these days really have appalling manners!"
"Ain't that the truth? I sensed something was off with that guy's character ages ago; otherwise, he wouldn't have pulled such a disgusting stunt in public. Lacking any sense of his own standing, he brought absolute humiliation upon himself!"
"..."
Listening to the chatter echoing from all sides, Ye Lang's expression grew even uglier, and at that moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He had never imagined that, despite doing his homework on Chen Muxue's family background and feeling entirely confident that this car and his grand gesture would easily win her heart, he would end up lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet. That bastard Su Zheng had actually managed to secure a luxury car like this, and deliberately claimed it was a gift from someone else—this was a calculated slap to his face in broad daylight!
From Ye Lang's perspective, Su Zheng simply didn't have friends with that kind of financial muscle, let alone someone willing to gift a luxury car of this caliber. All of this had to be an elaborate scam orchestrated by Su Zheng himself, specifically designed to humiliate him in front of everyone!
Just as that thought crossed his mind, yet another car transport truck rumbled into view from the distance.
As it came to a halt, a woman dressed in professional attire stepped out of the cab. Upon spotting Su Zheng, she walked over with a smile and said politely:
"Are you Mr. Su? The vehicle from our dealership has arrived safely. Please sign for the delivery!"
"Uh..."
The onlookers who had just been showering Su Zheng with flattery, along with Ye Lang himself, froze once more. Struck as if by a bolt of lightning, they stood rooted to the spot with rigid expressions.
Their minds buzzed with deafening white noise, completely paralyzed by the spectacle unfolding before their eyes.
Atop the transport carrier sat yet another ultra-luxury vehicle!
A Rolls-Royce Phantom!
Bathed in Belladonna Purple paintwork, the majestic Spirit of Ecstasy danced gracefully under the reflection of the Pantheon grille. Its tall, flat, and upright front fascia commanded a style of its own, exuding an aura of solemn and majestic gravity so powerful it felt capable of suppressing everything around it!
