Chapter 20

The car key landed on the table with a crisp sound, the trident on it gleaming, almost blinding.

Xiao Pengfei was just about to mock Xiao Chen's nonsense, but when his gaze fell on the trident, he swallowed his words hard. A Maserati?

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Pengfei's purple face and sneered inwardly. Kid, you want to step on me and show off to highlight your wealth, right? Bullshit, only you have a car key? Now you look like an idiot, don't you? No dreams, huh?

"This, this car logo I've seen before, what was it called again?"

Beside him, Tong Mu exclaimed in surprise. Although she couldn't name it right away, she knew it was a luxury car, and a very expensive one, over a million!

"Mom, it's a Maserati."

Tong Yan added, her expression slightly odd. Others might not know, but she did. This car wasn't Xiao Chen's; it was Mr. Su's!

"Right, right, Maserati... This car must cost over a million, right?"

"Probably over two million."

Although Tong Yan wasn't very knowledgeable about cars, she had heard a colleague at the company say that Mr. Su's car was the highest-end model in the President series, nearly three million!

"This is a real luxury car!" Tong Mu said instinctively.

Hearing Tong Mu's words, Xiao Pengfei's face felt even hotter, especially when he thought about what he had just said to Xiao Chen about blue skies and white clouds, and how people need dreams... Bullshit, the guy has a trident, why talk about blue skies and white clouds... This Maserati could buy several of his BMWs!

"Hehe, whether it's a luxury car or not, it's just a means of transportation." Xiao Chen said casually.

"..."

Xiao Pengfei's lips twitched a few times. Damn, this guy is a real expert at showing off! Listen to what he said, a two-million car is just a means of transportation...

Sure enough, when Tong Mu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her attitude did a 180-degree turn, her face beaming with a flattering smile: "Yes, yes, in the eyes of rich people, a few million is nothing..."

"..."

Tong Yan, seeing her mother's change in attitude, felt quite embarrassed. This was really too embarrassing!

"Hehe, Auntie, I'm not rich... In Longhai, driving a car worth a few million and having a net worth of tens of millions is just barely making ends meet."

When Xiao Chen said this, he glanced at Xiao Pengfei, his meaning clear: Your family is just barely making ends meet too, so why are you trying to show off? Do you even have the right? Damn!

"Minister Xiao... No, that's too formal. Since you and Xiao Yan are good colleagues and friends, I'll call you Xiao. What do you think?" Tong Mu became even more enthusiastic, pouring tea for Xiao Chen: "Come, have some tea."

"Hehe, thank you, Auntie."

"What are you thanking me for? Let me tell you, over the years, Xiao Yan hasn't brought any man home..."

Tong Mu, after saying this, suddenly noticed Xiao Pengfei's increasingly bad expression, a rare look of embarrassment flashing across her face. "Well, Pengfei, don't just sit there, have some tea too!"

"Auntie, don't be fooled. Nowadays, many people buy fake luxury car keys on Taobao just to show off..." Xiao Pengfei said coldly.

"Ah? Fake?" Tong Mu's expression changed, looking at Xiao Chen again. He didn't look like a rich person at all!

"Hehe." Xiao Chen chuckled, glanced at his watch, and stood up. "Auntie, I have something to do, I'll leave first. I'll visit again another day."

"Leaving so soon? I'll see you off." Tong Mu stood up too, but her real intention was to check the car!

If the Maserati was real, she would have to seriously consider who her daughter should marry... Of course, in her eyes, the one with more money would be the one to marry!

"I have something to do too, I'll leave as well." Xiao Pengfei also stood up, wanting to see if this guy really drove a Maserati!

Xiao Chen, naturally aware of their thoughts, didn't point it out and walked outside.

When they reached the door, Tong Mu, seeing the Maserati, her face, marked by the years, bloomed like a chrysanthemum. What a rich guy!

Xiao Pengfei's face was grim. Damn, it really is a Maserati, and it's even a President model!

"Auntie, Xiao Yan, I'll leave first... Hey, when we have time, let's talk about dreams again!"

"Sure, Xiao, you should come see Auntie more often!" At this point, Tong Mu had no doubts, finding Xiao Chen more and more appealing!

"Sure, I will!" Xiao Chen agreed, nodded at Xiao Yan, got into the car, and drove away slowly.

"A luxury car worth a few million, I've never ridden in one in my life. I must experience it one day! No, I want to ride in it whenever I want, so you better hurry up!" Tong Mu, watching the car drive away, said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was taken aback: "Hurry up with what?"

"Of course, to hurry up and get this rich guy! How far have you two progressed? Have you kissed? Slept together?"

"Mom, what are you talking about! I told you, we're just colleagues..."

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true!"

"Then you should hurry up and turn your ordinary colleague relationship into an extraordinary cohabitation relationship!"

"..."

Xiao Yan was a bit flustered. What was this all about?

Beside her, Xiao Pengfei's face turned ashen. He suddenly felt like he was being cuckolded!

"Enough, are you ignoring me?"

Tong Mu, hearing Xiao Pengfei's angry shout, turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Pengfei was even angrier, glaring at Tong Mu: "What did you say before? Didn't you say you wanted Xiao Yan to be with me?"

"Yes, at first I did want her to be with you, but now I think Xiao is more suitable for my daughter..."

"How do you see that they are more suitable?!"

"Because Xiao is richer than you!" Tong Mu said this with great confidence.

"..."

Xiao Pengfei almost choked on his anger. Just because he drives a Maserati, he's richer than me? Who the hell knows if the car is even his!

"Xiao, forcing a relationship won't work. Look at my daughter and Xiao... Hey, you both have the same last name! My daughter and Xiao have more chemistry, and as a mother, I have to respect her choice, right?"

Xiao Pengfei couldn't take it anymore. This woman was... too damn shameless!

"Hmph!"

Xiao Pengfei coldly snorted, his face ashen, got into his BMW, and sped away!

"Spit, what a guy, driving a broken BMW and thinking he can sleep with my daughter? Overestimating himself!"

Tong Mu, watching the BMW drive away, spat and then grabbed Xiao Yan: "Come, let's go home and talk about Xiao. How much money does his family have..."

...

At the entrance of the city's No. 1 High School, Su Xiaomeng was idly playing with her phone, occasionally looking around: "Damn, why isn't he here yet!"

Suddenly, a roar of engines approached, and several luxury cars stopped in front of her.

One of the blue BMW M5s rolled down the window, and a head poked out: "Xiaomeng, want to hang out tonight?"

"Get lost, I'm busy!" Su Xiaomeng glanced at the M5 and frowned.

"Busy? Hehe, going home to be a good girl again?" The young man in the M5 said with a grin.

"Good girl, my ass. I just don't want to play with you guys!"

"Xiaomeng, don't forget, I'm your boyfriend now!"

"Bullshit, who said that?"

"Heh, what, not going to admit it? If it gets out that Su Xiaomeng doesn't keep her word, how will you survive in school?"

"You..."

Su Xiaomeng's face changed, and just as she didn't know what to say, a black shadow sped over and stopped in front of her, and a voice full of regret said: "Xiaomeng, sorry, I'm late..."
