Chapter 241: A Bet!

“Hmph, at least you have some self-awareness and know not to pretend to be something you’re not,” Young Master Wang sneered, his chin lifted arrogantly. “You should just buy a tricycle, and leave the sports cars to us.”

Young Master Li added disdainfully, “I thought you were rich, but you’re just a broke country bumpkin. Pathetic!”

As their taunts grew increasingly harsh, Huang Caixing was almost fuming with anger, and even the usually gentle Yuan Yu clenched her fists, glaring at the three of them.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was unusually calm, his expression unchanged, as if he hadn’t heard their words at all.

Unnoticed, the crowd around the Cayenne had grown. Most were curious onlookers, enjoying the spectacle, while a few held malicious intent, eager to see Lin Xiao embarrassed. After all, Lin Xiao’s ordinary appearance and simple attire contrasted sharply with the stunning beauty of Yuan Yu and Huang Caixing by his side, provoking envy and resentment.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Lin Xiao spoke again, his voice steady and composed, “We’ll see soon enough who the real broke country bumpkin is. Manager Cheng, please tell them the price of this car.”

“Yeah right, still trying to act tough,” Young Master Wang snorted disdainfully.

Young Master Fan, more direct, waved his hand dismissively, “No need to tell us the price. It’s a Porsche Cayenne, we’ve seen it before. It can’t be more than 1.5 million, right? We’ll pay 3 million, and keep the change.”

“Young Master Fan, you’re so generous!” someone in the crowd, recognizing the three rich kids, gave a thumbs up. “I bet this car is worth no more than a million, and you’re willing to pay 3 million. Truly, you regard money as nothing but dirt.”

“Look at this guy, he can’t even afford such a cheap car. Why did he come here anyway? Doesn’t he know this is the biggest 4S dealership in Jinghai? Does he think it’s a roadside stall?” someone else chimed in, mocking Lin Xiao.

“Hahaha!”

The three rich kids, flattered and hearing Lin Xiao being ridiculed, felt immensely satisfied and laughed heartily again.

As Young Master Fan and his companions laughed, Manager Cheng stood nearby, wearing a peculiar expression, as if he was constipated. Clearing his throat, he said, “Gentlemen, I’m sorry, but three million isn’t enough. This Porsche Cayenne costs eight million.”

The rich kids’ laughter stopped abruptly.

“What?” Young Master Wang thought he misheard. “Say that again.”

Manager Cheng maintained a polite but formal smile.

“This Cayenne is the latest luxury limited edition, released less than half a year ago. It costs eight million, fair and square.”

Hearing Manager Cheng’s words, the three rich kids’ faces turned as colorful as a palette, and the crowd around them gasped, murmuring among themselves.

“What kind of SUV costs eight million? That’s more than a sports car!”

“Let me look it up…”

“If this Cayenne really costs eight million, then Young Master Wang and his friends are in for a big shock.”

The crowd’s murmurs reached the ears of the three rich kids.

“An SUV like this is worth eight million?” Young Master Wang’s face turned bright red as he glared at Manager Cheng. “Are you joking with us, Manager Cheng?”

Manager Cheng’s smile didn’t reach his eyes as he replied, “Young Master Wang, all products sold here are clearly priced. I would never joke with the company’s reputation.”

The three rich kids exchanged glances, each seeing the panic in the others’ eyes.

Eight million was far beyond their expectations and their financial capabilities.

They were indeed rich second-generation kids, but their monthly allowance was just around a million. They were used to spending lavishly, but now, even if they pooled all their money together, it wouldn’t amount to five million.

However, the surrounding crowd didn’t care about their predicament. Someone added salt to the wound.

“I found it! This Cayenne is indeed the latest model released by Porsche. It has all-terrain adaptability and performance comparable to sports cars. The price is indeed eight million. In some places, it even goes up to ten million. Manager Cheng’s price is quite reasonable!”

Hearing this, the three rich kids’ faces turned even uglier, as if they’d lost everything.

Huang Caixing, being sharp, noticed from their expressions that they couldn’t afford the car.

“You just said you were willing to pay double no matter the price. Are you rich young masters planning to go back on your word? That’s sixteen million!” she mocked them

The crowd fell silent, waiting to see how the three rich kids would respond.

Young Master Wang, with the gold chain around his neck, barely held back his embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and said, “This lousy car is worth eight million? Do you think we’re suckers? I’m not buying it.”

“Young Master Wang, that’s a bit too much, isn’t it?” Manager Cheng was displeased, his smile vanishing. “Our store is the largest car dealership in Jinghai, known for its good reputation and integrity. We would never cheat our customers, and now you accuse us of treating you like fools?”

Since the three rich kids were customers, Manager Cheng spoke politely. But Huang Caixing wasn’t as restrained.

“Not buying it? More like you can’t afford it. You were so arrogant just now, calling others poor. I thought you were loaded, but you can’t even afford a car worth a few million. I think you’re the real poor ones here. Does your face hurt now that you have to take back your words?”

Huang Caixing’s sharp tongue and clear voice cut through the air. The three rich kids’ faces turned gray with shame, leaving them almost wanting to crawl into a hole.

“If we can’t afford it, can you?” Young Master Li, infuriated by Huang Caixing’s words, couldn’t help but retort.

Lin Xiao, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke up, “How about we make a bet?”

“A bet on what?” A wary look flashed in Young Master Li’s eyes.

“A bet on whether I can afford this car or not,” Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, smiling faintly. “You all look down on me, right? So, do you dare to make this bet with me?”

The crowd murmured in surprise when they heard Lin Xiao propose a bet with the three rich kids.

The three exchanged glances, cautiously sizing up Lin Xiao.

Young Master Wang whispered, “I think he’s bluffing. There’s no way he can afford this car.”

“I agree. He doesn’t look like he has any money at all,” the other two chimed in.

“So, should we take the bet?” Wang asked, posing the key question.

Young Master Fan, the most cautious of the three, raised his hand to signal patience. “Don’t rush. Let me test him first.”

On the other side, Huang Caixing was growing impatient, eager to see the three annoying guys embarrassed. “What are you still discussing? Do you dare to take the bet or not? If not, then get lost and stop bothering us.”

Young Master Fan’s eyes swept over Huang Caixing, noticing her expensive clothing, all high-end brands, indicating she came from a wealthy family. She seemed out of place next to Lin Xiao.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed a finger directly at Lin Xiao. “We’ll take the bet, but only with you.”
