Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Encounter with the Mistress Again

The Mistress had been stealing glances at Song Xiaodong and noticed that he was looking at cars worth a mere hundred thousand or so; her confidence suddenly surged.

The last time, when it came to buying a house, she should have learned her lesson and realized that Song Xiaodong was not a simple man, he wasn’t someone to be trifled with easily.

But some people always like to think in ways that are most advantageous to themselves. The Mistress genuinely didn’t believe that Song Xiaodong had that much money, let alone that his so-called black card was real. Upon reflection, she convinced herself that Song Xiaodong must have some familial ties with the manager of the car dealership, which was why he played such a trick on her.

Furthermore, since she was involved with someone even more influential, she naturally didn’t take Song Xiaodong seriously anymore.

Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru looked around for a while, and to Xiaoru, every car seemed nice, so she had no specific preference. Seizing the opportunity, Xiaodong said, "Sister, since we’re here anyway, even if we don’t buy, we might as well take a look at the nicer cars, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t coming here be a waste?

"I’m telling you right now, I am not buying anything that expensive," Song Xiaoru glared at Song Xiaodong, preempting his thoughts with a warning.

"Alright, alright, we won’t buy if you don’t want to, but there’s no harm in just looking," Song Xiaodong said, coaxing Xiaoru to follow him toward the luxury car section, with Su Ni trailing behind them both.

Su Ni had heard the entire conversation and knew they weren’t actually planning to buy a luxury car, but when the two of them stopped in front of a Mercedes, she still introduced the car patiently, "This is the Mercedes S320, currently priced at eight hundred twenty thousand. Within the S-Class Mercedes-Benz range, it offers high cost-performance value and is certainly capable of highlighting one’s status and position, whether for personal or official use."

Then, opening the car door, she added, "You both can get inside to try it out, see how comfortable it is."

Intent on just looking, Song Xiaoru wasn’t planning to try the car and said, "We’ll just take a look."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Sitting in it for a bit doesn’t mean you have to buy it, and seeing the difference between a good car and an ordinary one is a good idea, right?"

Just as Song Xiaoru, swayed by Xiaodong’s persuasion, was about to get in, a woman came over and sat in the car before her. Xiaoru immediately stepped back to give way.

It was the Mistress who had gotten into the car, now looking at Xiaodong with a provocative gaze and said, "This car isn’t bad, the Mercedes S-Class, but this isn’t something just anyone can afford, especially those who have no intention to buy yet still come here to try again and again, really annoying."

It was then that Song Xiaodong recognized the Mistress, his brows furrowed. However, Song Xiaoru had already pulled him aside, fearing he might get into an argument with the other person, and quickly suggested, "Let’s go take a look at something else."

Although the Mercedes was nice, it wasn’t quite what Song Xiaodong had in mind for Song Xiaoru to buy; such a car was more suited to mature, stable men.

So when Xiaoru pulled him away, he didn’t say much, and they moved on to a different BMW sports car, where Su Ni once again began to introduce it to them.

Song Xiaoru settled into the car, feeling quite constrained. The car was so expensive that she was truly afraid of damaging or dirtying something inside.

"Hey, I want to take a look at this car, get that woman out," the Mistress once again approached, this time speaking arrogantly to the saleswoman with a melon seed shaped face.

The sales associate was still a bit embarrassed and said, "This..."

The mistress continued, "What’s with all the ’this’ and ’that’? Don’t you have any discernment? Can’t you tell that we’re the real buyers here? And people like them, it’s obvious they’re just here to get a thrill. If they interfere with our purchase, then we’ll just go to another dealership."

Upon hearing the mistress speak like this, Song Xiaoru was afraid of causing trouble for the business and hurriedly got out of the car, saying, "You see, you see."

The mistress curled her lip but didn’t sit in the car, saying, "Now that this piece of junk has been sat in by the poor, if I sit in it again, it would be beneath me. Forget it, let’s look at another car instead." She said this while provocatively glancing at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong had previously not bothered to argue with the mistress, but this time, when the mistress went so far as to embarrass Song Xiaoru, he could no longer tolerate it. He was about to glare and speak up when Song Xiaoru had already grabbed his arm and pulled him aside with urgency, saying, "Let it be, let it be, we’re not buying anyway, let’s not delay their business."

Song Xiaodong huffed and said, "This type of person is really shameless, sis. The more we give in, the more she’ll take it too far."

With a gentle voice, Song Xiaoru said, "We’re just here to look around. They’re the ones buying, so of course we should give way. Listen to your sister, let’s not stoop to their level. Buying a car is supposed to be a happy occasion, and it’s also my birthday, so let’s not ruin the mood."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaodong immediately suppressed his anger and said, "Alright, then I won’t stoop to her level. Sis, come check out this Ferrari, I still think this car suits you best."

Su Ni said with a smile, "Yes, sister, with your personality, driving this car would definitely turn heads. Even if you’re not buying, it’s still nice to try it out and have the experience, right?"

Song Xiaodong didn’t want to bother with the mistress, but she really was irredeemably shameless. At that moment, she looped her arm through the old man’s and approached, saying, "Hey, hey, don’t let them get in this car again, I want to take a good look at it."

The sales associate with the oval face had already realized that the mistress was picking a fight with Song Xiaodong and his group. Normally, they weren’t supposed to get involved in these situations, but since her clients were more likely to buy a car, she wanted to please them. So, she stepped directly in front of Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong and said, "Excuse me, my customers want to see this car. If you’d like to take a test drive, please choose another vehicle."

Before Song Xiaodong could respond, Su Ni was already furious. She couldn’t interject when a customer was speaking, but now that the sales associate was speaking, she felt it was her place to speak up.

With her face turning red, Su Ni said indignantly, "These clients were looking at the car first, why should we yield to them?"

The sales associate with the oval face said, "Even though they were the first to look, they were only trying it out, whereas my clients are intending to buy, so naturally, my customers get priority."

Su Ni angrily retorted, "It doesn’t matter whether the clients can buy or not, it’s about who came first. That’s the rule in our 4S shop."

Lifting her chin defiantly, the oval-faced sales associate said, "But don’t forget, the main purpose of our 4S shop is to serve the customers who are here to buy cars. They clearly want a cheaper car, you should be showing them that side, not bringing them here. It’s not only a waste of effort but also disrupts my clients from looking at the cars. Do you understand?"

Now even more furious, Su Ni said, "You... you’re just being disrespectful to customers."

Looking triumphant, the mistress said, "Respect should be given where it’s due. We’re here to buy a car in earnest, so we deserve respect. As for them..." She glanced at Song Xiaodong and then haughtily continued, "They’re just here for window-shopping and should be thrown out."
