Before he could finish his sentence, Gao Qingyun had already gotten into her new Porsche.

Cheng Xu also got into the Mercedes-Benz C63. He was really nervous.

Even though his driving instructor had said that he had a talent for driving, even though he had scored full marks for all subjects, even though he had driven for others a few times, he had never driven such an expensive car! He had only seen them with his eyes a few times.

“Why don’t we get a designated driver?” Cheng Xu said weakly.

“Just drive when I tell you to. I bought insurance. If it breaks, it’s on me.”

This time, even if Cheng Xu wanted to refuse, he could not. Gao Qingyun had already stepped on the accelerator and left. He had no choice but to drive. At most, he would just drive slowly.

After driving for a short while, he found Gao Qingyun waiting for him by the roadside.

“Can’t you hurry up? There’s fuel in the tank, use it!”

Boom!

Cheng Xu finally experienced the thrill of driving a s*x car for the first time. There was a reason why this car was so expensive.

Along the way, Cheng Xu could only force himself to focus on the road, and their two cars were turning heads at an incredible rate.

After all, Yixia City was only a third- or fourth-tier city, so there were not many luxury cars like this.

After passing through the most prosperous area in the city center, the two of them drove to the main street along the river.

The wind from the river’s direction blew at him, and as Cheng Xu drove the sports car, he suddenly had a taste of what it was like to enjoy life.

He stepped on the accelerator, but when he thought of the price for fuel, Cheng Xu shook his head. “My motorcycle is more suited for me.”

Not long after, the Porsche leading the way drove into a villa by the river on the edge of the city.

Naturally, Cheng Xu’s car was not stopped, and the security guard even saluted him.

The embarrassed Cheng Xu also extended his hand and greeted him to ease the awkwardness.

Cheng Xu did not know the exact price of the houses in this area, but he knew it must be very expensive.

The two of them parked the cars in front of a row of houses next to the villa. As the electric door slowly rose, Cheng Xu was surprised to find that the “houses” were actually a huge garage.

‘This is too rich!’

Cheng Xu sighed in his heart. Now, he really believed that Boss Gao did not buy a Porsche for the sake of having face.

There were a total of five parking spaces in the garage, and there were already four cars inside. None of the cars were worth less than 500,000 yuan.

Coincidentally, Gao Qingyun had also parked her newly bought Porsche in the last spot. Cheng Xu realized that the Mercedes-Benz C63 seemed to have no more space to park.

“What were you thinking? There’s no place to put this car now, right?”

Cheng Xu pointed at the Mercedes-Benz next to him and asked, a little puzzled.

Gao Qingyun pouted and said, “Stay out of boss’ business.”

“Alright,” Cheng Xu said exasperatedly, “My task is done. Can I go back now? Oh, right, here are your keys.”

However, Gao Qingyun did not take the car keys he handed over. Instead, she said, “Hold on to the keys first, what’s the rush? Is your time worth a lot?”

Cheng Xu thought about it and realized that his time really did not seem as valuable as hers.

“Then why are you leaving your car keys with me? Is there anything else?”

“Seeing that you did well today, I’ll give you a reward. Didn’t you notice that I don’t have any more space?” Gao Qingyun smiled radiantly as she glanced at the garage, which was already full.

Cheng Xu was speechless.

Seeing Cheng Xu’s silence and his speechless expression, Gao Qingyun hurriedly continued,”I still have a few more houses, so It’s not like I can’t park it somewhere.”

“No, I didn’t mean that. I really can’t afford to drive this car.”Cheng Xu felt that he did not need to drive such a great car now. The fuel alone was a huge expense.

“You really don’t want it? This car of mine is worth a few hundred yuan a day when it’s rented as a wedding car. If you don’t want it, then give it back to me.” Gao Qingyun revealed an evil smile.

“Well, I’ll thank you in advance, Boss Gao. I suddenly remembered that my friend’s biggest wish in this life is to touch the Mercedes-Benz C63 once. I’ll drive it first then.”

If nothing else, he had picked up the ability to lie through his teeth from Huang Junjie.

“Hahahahahahaha!”Gao Qingyun was also amused by him and let out a hearty laugh.”You can drive it first. When you need maintenance, just drive it here and find me.”

Actually, Gao Qingyun had originally planned to treat Cheng Xu to lunch first before lending him the car to drive back.

However, she had no choice. An elder had just informed her that she had a dinner appointment, so she really could not bring Cheng Xu along. This made her feel a little indebted to him, so she simply let him drive the car for a while.

Cheng Xu thought for a moment, then asked the question that had been bothering him the whole day, “Boss Gao, you have so many cars. Why are you still buying a car? Also, you’re so rich. Why are you still buying second-hand cars?”

“I like the new and hate the old. What’s wrong with that? I just like to have a bunch of cars to switch around with.”

Gao Qingyun’s haughty expression made her seem even more confident.

Cheng Xu finally understood what she meant by “liking the new and loathing the old.” It was the same for many people. Only things that had been personally “unwrapped” were considered “old”, while things that were still “wrapped” were considered “new”, no matter how many hands they had been through.

“Besides, if you have money, why can’t you buy a second-hand one? Even if you have money, you shouldn’t waste it. Look, I even managed to save two to three hundred thousand yuan.”

‘Why do I suddenly feel that what she said makes so much sense?’ Cheng Xu thought to himself and nodded.

Gao Qingyun looked at Cheng Xu’s pensive expression and suddenly felt that he was rather adorable. For a moment, she wanted to tease this “little brother” of hers.

“Do you want to come into my house to play? My house is quite big,” she said to Cheng Xu with a smirk.

“Well, I forgot to water the flowers when I went out this morning. I have to go back now, or the flowers won’t survive.”

After saying that in embarrassment, Cheng Xu immediately strode into the car, started the engine, changed gears, and drove out.

Watching Cheng Xu run away, Gao Qingyun could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.

The distance from Gao Qingyun’s house to his own courtyard was about 50 kilometers. When Cheng Xu thought of the car’s fuel consumption, he could not help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.

He parked the car in the courtyard. No matter how Cheng Xu looked at it, it did not seem to match the surroundings.

“I don’t want to think about it anymore. I’ll have to make two wedding trips to get back my capital.”

He felt that he could contact Huang Junjie and ask if he had any relevant businesses that needed this kind of car.

As he was thinking about the wedding car plan, Cheng Xu suddenly thought of Li Mengqing for some reason. The moment he thought of Li Mengqing, he thought of the class reunion she had called him about some time ago.

At this thought, Cheng Xu suddenly quivered. ‘What was the date again?’

He hurriedly unlocked his phone and took a look. ‘Thank goodness, the gathering is tomorrow.’

He did not care if he skipped the class reunion, but Cheng Xu really did not want to stand Li Mengqing up.

Thinking about it carefully, it had been such a long time, and he seemed to have done everything he promised her.

Cheng Xu was not someone who liked to make casual promises, but he would definitely do his best to fulfill what he had promised.

For example, when he had accompanied Gao Qingyun to buy a car this morning, Cheng Xu had calculated the maximum length of time it would take to buy it because he could not predict how long the car ride home would be. This was to ensure that he would not be late.

He could understand others being late, as long as it was not by too much, but he could not accept being late himself.
