Chapter 435: A Tight Slap In The Face

‘This car cost 6 million yuan! It could be considered to be high levelled amongst the wealthy people in Shanghai.

‘Could an ordinary student who is starting a business afford this car?

‘I don’t believe this.’

Fatty Lu was a kind person, but he was not stupid. ‘I know I must’ve missed out something to be so misled. But, regardless of what I’ve missed, Su Yang’s identity is definitely not as simple as it seems!’

That was why he was even more enthusiastic towards Su Yang than before. He walked over with a smile and patted Su Yang’s shoulder. “Why are you calling me Brother Lu? Just call me Old Lu.”

“Alright then, I’ll continue explaining for you.”

Wang Bei was so furious, her eyes seemed to be flaring up as she watched from the side.

Fatty Lu was indeed someone who loved cars. His eyes would light up whenever he saw the car he liked. Initially, he still remembered that he had to pay attention to Su Yang and treat him with a better attitude. However, when he saw the beautiful Ferrari, he completely forgot about everything.

While he was still exclaiming, he gave Su Yang a detailed explanation of the Ferrari with his deep knowledge.

While he was explaining, he continued to think how impressive Su Yang’s Ferrari was.

Soon, Fatty Lu had explained everything about the Ferrari, giving Su Yang a fresh new perspective of his Ferrari.

Fatty Lu returned to his senses after he was done with his explanation. Then, he moved closer to Su Yang and asked curiously, “Brother Su, is this car really yours? If it’s yours, why don’t you know anything about it?”

If anyone else were to ask about this topic, Su Yang would probably think that they were trying to stir up trouble with him. However, after spending half an hour with Fatty Lu, Su Yang had a good understanding of Fatty Lu’s character.

‘This guy is a very sincere person, he’ll ask anything that comes to his mind. However, he doesn’t have any ill intentions’.

But before he could answer, Fatty Lu blinked his narrowed eyes and said doubtfully, “But if it isn’t your car, then your…” He looked at Pan Zhaodi as he continued,”… your friend wouldn’t be in the car either.”

A thought suddenly came to Fatty Lu’s mind when he suddenly said, “I don’t suppose you rented this car, did you?”

Fatty Lu purposely lowered his voice when he was talking. He obviously knew that it was not good to say such things in public, hence he tried his best to make sure that only the two of them could hear him.

However, no matter how low his voice was, Wang Bei and the rest were too close. The onlookers may not have been able to hear him, but that did not mean Wang Bei and the others could not.

Wang Bei immediately had an expression on her face as though she had been enlightened after hearing Fatty Lu saying that. ‘No wonder…

‘I knew Su Yang couldn’t afford that kind of car.

‘However, his secretary did get out of the car.

‘That’s why I couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation to all this.

‘Now that Brother Lu has said that, I’m very sure that he’s guessed it correctly. Su Yang has most likely rented the car.’

At that thought, Wang Bei felt much happier. She felt that the “reason” she looked down on Su Yang still stands, and her “senses” had not failed her.

At that moment, Su Yang replied.

He shook his head with a smile and walked leisurely to the back of the car. He pointed at the rear of the car that did not even have a license plate and asked Fatty Lu, “Even though I’ve never rented a car before, I suppose it’s impossible for a rental car to not have a license plate, is it?”

“Well…” Fatty Lu slapped his forehead with his chubby hands. “Look at me, I’ve completely forgotten about that. You’re right, how could you possibly rent a car when you haven’t even got a license plate? ”

Su Yang’s words not only made Fatty Lu realize his mistake, but also gave Wang Bei a tight slap on the face. She felt as if the pride she had just regained had been trampled on.

‘This isn’t a rented car?

‘Could it really be Su Yang’s?

‘That’s Impossible!’

Even though the truth was right in front of her, she still refused to believe that the car belonged to Su Yang. She felt that there must be another explanation!

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. ‘That can’t be right, if this car really belongs to Su Yang, how could he not even know how much his car cost him?’

She could still remember Su Yang’s expression when he heard that the car was worth 6 million yuan.

Just as she thought about that, Fatty Lu happened to be discussing the topic as well.

He looked at how bare the rear of the car was and clicked his tongue. “As I expected, it does look nicer without a license plate. Brother Su, in my opinion, I really think it’s really ugly for a license plate to be hanging on a sports car.”

“It’s definitely the most beautiful when a car has just been bought and doesn’t have its license plate on it yet.”

Suddenly, Fatty Lu came back to his senses. He looked at Su Yang with a puzzled expression. “But, something still doesn’t add up. Brother Su, how could you possibly have bought this car when you didn’t even know how much the car cost a moment ago?”

Wang Bei followed behind him and nodded slowly. ‘I’ve finally found Su Yang’s biggest loophole! He didn’t even know how much the car was worth, yet he dared to claim that the car was his! How ridiculous!’

Su Yang shook his head slowly and said with an expression that seemed to be mocking them for being so inexperienced to the realities of society, “Is there… really a need to buy cars ourselves? Can’t it be a gift from someone?”

Su Yang’s words stunned everyone.

‘G… Gift?

‘A luxury car worth 5 to 6 million yuan has been given to him? Just like that?

‘If that really is true, how wealthy could the gifter possibly be?!

‘That’s not right!

‘On second thought, why would such a wealthy person give such an expensive car to Su Yang?

‘In that case… how big of a favour or how much benefit would Su Yang have to give the gifter in return?!’

A few people were dumbfounded by that thought.

Wang Bei’s head buzzed. She had never imagined that Su Yang would have received the car like that.

She could feel her arrogance, pride, and sense of superiority shatter on the ground.

Even though Su Yang did not buy the car, she suddenly realized a shocking fact. ‘I always thought that Su Yang was a stingy person and couldn’t bear to part with his money to improve the quality of his lifestyle.

‘But… That’s not the case!

‘Although he may not have bought the items himself, his secretary seems to have been buying it for him. Although he doesn’t buy the cars himself, his business partners seem to have been giving it to him instead.

‘In actuality, there were many things that he did not need to do on his own, countless others would be fighting to do it for him.

‘He… has already reached an unimaginable height long ago.

‘I used to think how ordinary people had to spend their money after earning it. Only by spending money to improve their quality of life could they truly be considered to be living a good life. Therefore, it was only natural for me to assume that a person like Su Yang who has earned his own riches to be the same.

‘However… I’ve probably only been thinking from a commoner’s perspective, hoping for my emperor to spend his money on commoners.

‘For a person like Su Yang who’s built up his wealth on his own, he probably doesn’t even have such materialistic thoughts any longer since many others would be rushing to give it to him.

‘Perhaps the reason why he remained the same was because… he hasn’t forgotten his roots? Or perhaps he doesn’t care about it at all?

‘He has a mountain of money, but he doesn’t buy luxury items or expensive clothes. However, it’s not because he can’t afford them, but because he doesn’t care about that.’

Wang Bei slowly scanned the crowd and realized that they were all looking at Su Yang with admiration and respect.

She looked around again and realized that the occasional gazes directed at her and Luo Luo were not filled with envy, jealousy, or hatred like she had imagined. Instead, they were… unfathomable.

There was indeed envy in it, but there was also… mockery and coldness.

In her daze, she seemed to understand something. ‘I thought that others would be envious of me just by hanging around with a rich guy, but that’s not the case. Others might be envious, but most of them still clearly differentiated between the rich guy and myself. In their eyes, I’m probably just an opportunist who looks to hang around with the wealthy…

‘I can’t raise my status by mixing around with friends like how I imagined.

‘I’ll only be able to gain the respect of others by relying on myself.’

Wang Bei was having a hard time digesting that fact…

However, she was not the only one.

When they heard that Su Yang’s car was a gift from someone else, Luo Luo, Chu Xia, and even the surrounding students were stunned.

The surrounding students discussed softly.

‘The person who gave Su Yang the car must be really rich. He’s able to give him a 6 million yuan car just like that.

“Doesn’t that say how awesome Su Yang is? Even a wealthy person has to give him a luxury car to suck up to him.”

“Yeah, Su Yang is really too awesome.”

“Sigh, I suppose it really is infuriating when we compare ourselves to him.”

“Look at him. We’re all students in Shanghai University, yet he’s so successful?!”

Chu Xia and Luo Luo looked at Su Yang with admiration and surprise written in their eyes.

Fatty Lu was probably the only person who was able to maintain calm. He looked at the car and then at Su Yang. He could not shake the feeling that… he seemed to have seen him somewhere before.

However, he could not recall who it was.

Su Yang knew that he was the center of attention based on the others’ discussion about him, probably a little too much for his preference. After all, he was a person who was not interested in being affiliated with other lowly show-offs. Plus, he did not want his classmates to distance themselves from him just because he was rich.

So, he smiled and patted Chu Xia, saying, “Chu Xia, didn’t you say you needed to pick up some things? Why don’t you go get it quickly. We should leave as soon as you picked it up.”

“Oh, oh.” Chu Xia returned to her senses and greeted her roommates and Fatty Lu before running into the female dormitory.

After she left, Su Yang asked Fatty Lu, “Old Lu, if you’re available, could you help me drive someone?”

Fatty Lu slammed his chest and said, “No problem! Who is it!”

Su Yang pointed at Pan Zhaodi. “Could you help drive my friend to my house. I can only fit 2 people in my car.”

Fatty Lu said, “No problem! I’ll talk to my friend! Coincidentally, I have a friend who drives a BMW i8, so she’ll be able to fit into the back seat.”

Su Yang nodded his head in satisfaction. He felt that Fatty Lu was indeed a good person. Most men have a strange sense of possessiveness. Although Pan Zhaodi was only a female secretary or a female friend, no one would be willing to let her sit in the front passenger seat of another man’s car.

However, Pan Zhaodi would be able to sit in the backseat of the BMW i8, avoiding any kind of awkward situation.

After a while, Chu Xia returned with a small bag. It was a pink, bulging bag as if it contained something inside.

When Chu Xia returned, the few of them also got into the car.

Pan Zhaodi got into the backseat of the BMW i8. Wang Bei got into Fatty Lu’s front passenger seat while Luo Luo got into Wang Bei’s other friend’s car.

Naturally, Chu Xia sat in Su Yang’s coolest looking and domineering red Ferrari 488!

The car’s engine started and sent off a loud roar!

Su Yang buckles his seatbelt and pressed the button on the ceiling of the Ferrari. Then, the bimini of the Ferrari started to creak. Then, the metal bimini slowly opened up and retracted, turning it from a luxurious sports car into a convertible.

Su Yang looked at Chu Xia, who had just fastened her seatbelt. Looking at her beautiful side profile, he smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you were allergic to luxury cars?”

Chu Xia blushed. She held her chin up high and said with a cajoling face, “I’m not allergic… If I sit in yours.”

Su Yang laughed and said, “Sit tight then!”

As he spoke, he made a turn stylishly and drove off with Chu Xia together with him.

Behind him were the 2 rows of the other luxury cars, Ferrari F8, Porsche 911, Porsche 718, BMW i8…

The rows of luxury cars and the sound of their engines roaring filled the air, wreaking havoc on the roads of Shanghai University.

The fiery red Ferrari, accompanied by the beautiful Chu Xia and her flying hair along with their unrestrained youth had left a different scenery for the end of summer at Shanghai University…

Soon, with Su Yang’s Ferrari 488 in the lead, the crusade of luxury cars arrived at the Tianbao Gold Coast Villa near the school in stride. Of course, they were at Su Yang’s rented villa!

Su Yang’s luxury car attracted attention wherever he went, even at the entrance of the villa…
