Chapter 968
is really pretentious.
Bai Susu's friend is really good at pretending. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Why do you have to take out an interest-free loan? Moreover, he only paid a fraction of the car's price, but took out a huge loan of a million yuan. With his financial situation, anyone with a brain would not incur so much debt just to buy a car.
Moreover, Bai Susu actually wanted to pay for Xu Bo'an's expenses, which was incredibly foolish. It's truly unexpected that Bai Susu, who was once aloof and known as the "cold and beautiful school beauty," was someone who liked to spend money on men.
What's even more unacceptable is that the man was also an extremely pretentious person!
However, Shen Ruoyao was quite satisfied with Bai Susu's current state! She liked seeing Bai Susu unhappy; the more unhappy Bai Susu was, the happier she was, and the less bitterness she had hidden in her heart would be.
However, Shen Ruoyao did not show her happiness. Instead, she greeted Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an with great enthusiasm and asked, "Do you need my help?"
Before Bai Susu could speak, Xu Bo'an said to her, "No need, thank you!"
Shen Ruoyao said this not because she wanted to help Xu Bo'an by lending him a few hundred thousand yuan, but out of respect for Bai Susu.
She simply wanted to show off her strength in front of Bai Susu, so that she could feel superior to Bai Susu. Hearing Xu Bo'an say that it was not necessary was exactly what she wanted. If Xu Bo'an said that it was necessary, she would not be able to handle the situation.
Shen Ruoyao said, "Okay, then you can complete the process here now. Come find me after you're done, and I'll help you with your advice!"
Bai Susu nodded to Shen Ruoyao and said, "Okay, see you later!"
Then they waited together with Xu Bo'an to complete the business.
After a while, once all the business was completed, Bai Susu took Xu Bo'an to find Shen Ruoyao, who was looking at cars.
Upon seeing Bai Susu, Shen Ruoyao smiled and asked, "Susu, have you and your friend finished your business?"
Bai Susu said, "Yes, all the procedures have been completed!"
Upon hearing Bai Susu's words, Shen Ruoyao smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good. Come over here and help me take a look at this car." Shen Ruoyao was referring to an imported Maserati. The car was indeed very beautiful. Bai Susu remembered that Shen Ruoyao had said earlier that she was buying the car as a wedding gift for her younger brother. The car looked very elegant and stylish, and it only had two seats. Bai Susu thought this kind of car was very impractical. Perhaps rich second-generation heirs who didn't lack money would buy such a flashy but impractical and expensive car for the convenience of picking up girls. Who would have the time to buy this type of car?
Shen Ruoyao was none other than her old classmate. Bai Susu sincerely suggested to Shen Ruoyao, "Ruoyao, this car only has two seats. It's not only expensive but also impractical. It doesn't seem very useful!"
Shen Ruoyao was displeased by Bai Susu's words. She felt that Bai Susu's words were a clear sign of looking down on her. Her expression turned ugly, and she said to Bai Susu, "Susu, you are quite pragmatic. Your friend just took out a loan to buy a car. You should have tried to dissuade him. My husband is in the jewelry business. He won't be short of a little money. There's no need to consider whether it's pragmatic or not!"
Shen Ruoyao accidentally spoke too bluntly this time. Bai Susu wasn't stupid, so of course she could tell. She looked at Shen Ruoyao with disbelief. Even if she knew Shen Ruoyao was rich, nobody's money comes from thin air.
Because they were old classmates who hadn't seen each other for many years, there was a natural sense of warmth upon seeing each other again. She was genuinely considering Shen Ruoyao's needs from a cost-effective and practical perspective, and Shen Ruoyao's extremely warm attitude towards her just now made Bai Susu feel that they had returned to their close friendship during their student days, or even closer than before. So why would she say such a thing now?
Shen Ruoyao noticed the change in Bai Susu's expression, but she didn't care. Now she had figured out Bai Susu's background. Although Bai Susu was working at the hospital, how much money could she earn from that kind of work day after day?
Then look at the boyfriend she found. Not only is he broke, but he also likes to show off. He's just awful. Of course, Shen Ruoyao only thinks so when she calls Xu Bo'an Bai Susu's boyfriend.
Birds of a feather flock together. Bai Susu is almost thirty years old. Any decent and responsible man would already be married. Besides, good men are not "free" in this world. Even if she has outstanding looks and a good family background, what kind of good family can a single woman of her age find?
Finding a man who matches her and her family's wealth would be the best option, but so what? Can they compare to her wealthy husband who runs a jewelry business?
Moreover, Bai Susu didn't choose a man who was on par with her in terms of ability and family background. Instead, she chose a man who was poor, pretentious, and unambitious. What kind of good life could she expect if she stayed with him?
Shen Ruoyao, who thought she had figured out Bai Susu's background, didn't bother to explain anything further even when she saw Bai Susu's strange expression.
Sensing something amiss, Bai Susu said, "Since you're not short of money, just pick whatever you like. There's absolutely no need to ask for my opinion!"
Xu Bo'an naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Ruoyao's words and said to her, "I'm short of money, but you're not. You can buy a better one, right? Why buy a car in the middle price range with me? Look at this Rolls-Royce Phantom, it's not bad. Or you could choose it as your brother's wedding gift, I think that would be a good idea!"
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Shen Ruoyao said, "I bought the car as a gift for my younger brother, not for us to drive ourselves. If we were to drive it ourselves, then buying a car like this would be perfectly reasonable!"
After Shen Ruoyao finished speaking, she looked at her husband, who was more than 20 years older than her, and said, "Right, honey?"
Shen Ruoyao's husband nodded and said, "Baby, you're right!"
Upon hearing her husband's words, Shen Ruoyao smiled contentedly and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. Her husband looked at her with doting eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
Her husband's words gave Shen Ruoyao even more confidence, and she looked even more arrogant than before.
Xu Bo'an looked at Shen Ruoyao and said, "Since you're so rich, able to buy yourselves a Rolls-Royce Phantom, why can't you buy one for your own brother? It seems the sibling relationship isn't so great!" (End of Chapter)
