Chapter 10 Don't ask, it's none of your business.
Li Mai and You Huan stood outside the used car store.
You Huan was furious.
"Why did you drag me out here? I want to ask him why he's been hiding away without saying a word all these years?"
"Does he know you've been looking for him for five years? Does he know you gave birth to his son?"
"Damn, I just thought he was so handsome."
"All show and no substance! A worthless scoundrel!"
Li Mai held her down: "Senior, I know you care about me."
“But my relationship with Zhou Songyan is over. I don’t want to have any more entanglement with him, and I don’t want him to know about Chengcheng.”
You Huan looked at her, her heart aching terribly.
She knew how difficult things had been for Li Mai all these years, and she always thought about Zhou Songyan, fantasizing about getting back together with him and building a happy family.
The person was found.
But this is how it ended.
Why does Zhou Songyan treat her like this?
So what if Li Mai said some hurtful things to him back then?
In retrospect, those words didn't hurt him, because Zhou Songyan comes from a wealthy family.
How could that possibly hurt him? He has the confidence to back it up.
Zhou Songyan, on the other hand, concealed his identity to test Li Mai.
That's outrageous!
"Li Mai, why don't you tell Zhou Songyan the truth? Why should he misunderstand you?"
A hint of sadness flashed in Li Mai's eyes.
"Senior, what good will it do to tell me? Zhou Songyan will think I have ulterior motives, and I'll only humiliate myself."
"Besides, I wouldn't dare to associate with the top wealthy families in Beijing."
You Huan: "..."
She knew all too well that the waters of the wealthy were not for ordinary people like them to wade into.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Alright, I respect your decision."
"Thank you, senior."
You Huan patted her on the shoulder.
Are you still going to buy the car?
"Buy it! I see there's a discount today."
"I just showed you a small SUV. It's in pretty good condition, and the interior is well-preserved. It's about seven years old."
"How much?"
"Sixty thousand."
Li Mai pursed her lips: "This is a bit beyond my budget."
"Sister, 60,000 is too expensive. This is dirt cheap."
"Where are you going to find cabbage prices? I see some that cost over ten thousand."
You Huan was speechless: "You dare to buy something that costs over ten thousand?"
"No, I'm buying that black SUV that costs 30,000, the Volkswagen color. Today, they're offering a 1,000 discount for every 5,000, so it comes out to 26,000."
You Huan tried to persuade her.
"Li Mai, 60,000 isn't much more expensive. Buying a better one means you can drive it for several more years."
Li Mai remained unmoved; she had her own ideas.
"Senior, I still have to raise a child, and there will be a lot of expenses in the future. As for the car, it's just for transportation, as long as it can be driven, that's fine. I don't expect to drive it for ten or eight years."
It would be great if we could help her get through three or five years.
You Huan couldn't persuade her otherwise.
"Whatever you want."
Chengcheng returned to Limai's side.
Her little face looked unhappy.
Li Mai squeezed his hand: "What's wrong? Are you bored?"
Chengcheng: "A little."
"It'll be ready soon, Mom has already made her choice."
You Huan felt a pang of heartache as she looked at Chengcheng.
He whispered in Li Mai's ear, "How did you introduce Chengcheng to Zhou Songyan?"
Li Mai: "I said Chengcheng is my brother's child."
"Chengcheng didn't expose you?"
"No."
You Huan glanced at Chengcheng.
This child has it tough; he has to play along with the adults.
Li Mai went in but didn't see Zhou Songyan, guessing that he might have left.
She didn't mind and said to the staff member, "Hello, I want that black SUV. Can you give me a discount?"
The staff member smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, this is our lowest price. You can save another four thousand by using the coupon."
"Actually, I suggest you buy that red SUV. It's a newer model, and the color and size suit you. It's not expensive at 60,000 yuan."
Li Mai: "No need, I want the black one."
"All right."
The staff didn't try to persuade them any further.
"I'll take you there to pay the money, and then you can leave your ID card. We'll help you transfer the car ownership and apply for license plates."
Li Mai asked, "Do I need to come and pick it up?"
"No need, just leave an address and we'll send it to you later."
"Can I drive the car away today?"
"Of course, you can drive the car away today."
Li Mai found it quite convenient.
The used car company takes care of everything.
Before Li Mai could pay, the staff member was called away.
She and You Huan could only stand there and wait for a while.
A few minutes later, the staff returned.
"Madam, I just received a notification from my supervisor that this car has been reduced in price and is now only 10,000 yuan."
Li Mai: "..."
You Huan: "..."
It's like a pie falling from the sky!
You Huan still misses that red SUV.
"Is it just this one that's had a price reduction, or are all of them?"
Staff: "..."
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Shall I go ask the leader?"
"Hurry up and go! Thank you for your help!"
The staff member returned after a short while: "Ma'am, it's like this, not all cars are discounted. Besides this car, there's another car in the store that's discounted."
You Huan asked impatiently, "Which one?"
"I'll take you to see it; it's in the back."
It was an SUV of a certain brand that was about 80% new.
The new car is priced at 600,000 to 700,000 yuan.
It's 80% new, it should cost at least over 100,000 yuan, right?
Li Mai felt that even if the price dropped further, she still wouldn't buy it.
"I'll take the one I just bought. It's only 10,000 yuan, a real bargain."
Staff member: "This is a great deal, only 20,000 yuan, and it's only valid for three years."
"How many?"
You Huan thought she had misheard.
Li Mai also found it unbelievable.
The staff member, forcing a smile, said, "Twenty thousand."
You Huan: "Your company isn't making money anymore?"
The staff member chuckled awkwardly, "The boss has too much money, so he wants to organize some exciting activities."
"I'm telling you, you'd better make a decision quickly. This is a notice just issued by the boss. If you miss it, you'll miss out."
You Huan grabbed Li Mai's hand: "Hurry up and pay! Hurry up and pay! Otherwise, someone else will find out and rob us."
Li Mai felt like she had been scammed, but they hadn't actually scammed her out of anything.
It's possible that the boss is just being generous and wanted to organize such an event, like a lottery.
Li Mai followed the staff to pay the money, left her ID card, and drove home.
Although Li Mai doesn't own a car, she often drives for Ji Wangyu and is a good driver.
Easily drive your car on the road.
Li Mai remained in a state of euphoria, having struck gold.
"Chengcheng, Mom will drive you on a short trip around the area this weekend."
After she finished speaking, Chengcheng did not react.
"Chengcheng?"
She called it again.
Chengcheng snapped out of his daze: "Mom, did you just call me?"
"Hmm, what were you thinking about just now?"
"nothing."
"How about we take a short trip to the surrounding area this weekend?"
"OK."
...
Used car shop.
Zhou Songyan took out a card and handed it to the cashier: "Deduct the remaining amount from this."
Qin Xuan stood to the side and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Zhou, I've never seen you like this before. Who was that girl just now? Why did you pay for her car?"
They even fabricated a lie about a huge price reduction.
He was selling a car for 150,000 yuan, but Zhou Songyan told him to sell it to someone else for 20,000 yuan, and he would cover the rest.
Zhou Songyan turned to look at him and said, "Don't ask, it's none of your business."
Qin Xuan: "..."
