"Miss, are you really not going to buy it?" Sister Zhao urged.
Yang Jiaqi glared at Shen Wei and asked, "Can't you even compare to him?"
Shen Wei chuckled, "This kid sure knows how to put on a show. If he could actually afford 1.8 million, he wouldn't have had his engagement broken."
"Look at what you're saying. I can understand if you're reluctant to buy it since the car is almost yours, but it's wrong to mock others," Lu Fan said with a smile. "What if you get slapped in the face later? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
Sister Zhao also frowned. She thought she had met a rich patron, but now it seemed he was fake. Yang Jiaqi appeared generous on the surface, but he didn't seem to have much money. She had misjudged him today.
In fact, although Yang Jiaqi was a vice president, he only received a salary at Yang's Pharmaceutical. The actual company shares were held by the Yang family.
"Mr. Lu, the paperwork is all done."
Shortly after, Xiao Liu ran over, his eyes filled with excitement. He had never imagined that Lu Fan's card could actually be used to swipe so much money.
Lu Fan took the key and placed it in front of Lin Ke, "This is a gift from Brother Lu Fan for you. You cannot refuse it."
"This gift is too precious, I can't accept it," Lin Ke said quickly. "Let's just buy a cheaper one."
"It's already bought, how can we return it?" Lu Fan said seriously. "Just take it!"
"1.8 million is not a small sum. How do you have so much money?"
Yang Jiaqi asked in surprise, "Are these people all your stooges?"
"Don't overcomplicate things, there's no need!"
Lu Fan smiled, let Lin Ke into the car, and prepared to drive away.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, it won't be long before Yang's Enterprise encounters an unprecedented crisis. You should be mentally prepared!"
"Just you?" Yang Jiaqi sneered. "Don't think you're someone important just because you've attached yourself to the Bai family and have a little money. My Yang's Pharmaceutical is not something you can touch. Take a look at yourself in the mirror!"
"Yang's Pharmaceutical's sales are plummeting, and many orders have even been acquired by Taikang Pharmaceutical. It's likely that Yang's Pharmaceutical will be destroyed soon!" Lu Fan shrugged and smiled, driving away in the Maserati.
"I thought he was a rich man, but it turns out he just came to have fun!"
Sister Zhao said abruptly, picking up a cup of coffee and drinking it herself.
The coffee was originally prepared for Yang Jiaqi, but since Yang Jiaqi couldn't afford to show off, she wasn't going to give him a good face.
"Shen Wei, you've disappointed me too much!" Yang Jiaqi suddenly turned around. "You actually let me lose to him? A country bumpkin?"
"Jiaqi, the car was indeed too expensive!" Shen Wei said helplessly. "When we get married, I'll definitely buy you a good car!"
"Marriage? You still want to get married?" Yang Jiaqi sneered. "Break up! Don't contact me again!"
Yang Jiaqi was furious. Although the Shen family was rich and powerful, Shen Wei was unwilling to spend money on her, so she naturally wouldn't stay with Shen Wei.
"Lu Fan, you bastard, it's all your fault!" Shen Wei's expression turned sinister. He had approached Yang Jiaqi with the intention of taking over Yang's Enterprise, but Lu Fan had ruined his plans.
By West Lake, Lu Fan parked the car and handed the keys to Lin Ke. "Here, you drive. This car was bought for you!"
"But this car is too precious!" Lin Ke shook her head. "I'm afraid I'll damage it!"
"The car is yours now, so it's fine even if it's crashed!" Lu Fan shrugged, his gaze drifting towards the surface of West Lake.
Lin Ke tentatively familiarized herself with the vehicle.
After a while, Lin Ke was driving smoothly, while Lu Fan stood by West Lake, enjoying the lakeside scenery.
"Brother Lu Fan, why are there so many people in the pavilion ahead?" Lin Ke asked in surprise. "Shall we go take a look?"
Lu Fan didn't want to join the crowd, but Lin Ke was so enthusiastic that he couldn't refuse.
Inside the pavilion, there were mostly women, and a sign was posted nearby, seemingly for a fortune teller.
"I can tell you about life and death, about wealth and status, and about all living beings!"
At the main seat, a man held a fan and spoke to himself.
"Master Chen, your talismans are truly effective." A seductive woman praised, "Yesterday, I held your talisman and pasted it on the wall. Sure enough, I didn't encounter any unclean things last night, and I slept soundly!"
"That thing often enters your dreams and entangles you. With my talismans, you can naturally ward off evil spirits and repel demons," the man said mysteriously, closing his eyes like a master.
"Master Chen, we want a talisman for safety too!"
Many women spoke, completely believing the man before them.
"Brother Lu Fan, this person is so powerful. Why don't we buy a talisman to take back?" Lin Ke said seriously.
"His talismans are fake."
Lu Fan smiled. "You can't be fooled by street scams."
"Young man, you can't say that. Master Chen is very famous here. How could his talismans be fake?" a woman interjected. "You need evidence to speak."
Many women also looked at Lu Fan, all with hostility. Lu Fan was talking nonsense and had offended Master Chen, thus offending them.
"Master Chen, what a Master Chen!"
Lu Fan shook his head and looked at Master Chen. Lin Ke wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"Who is so presumptuous to cause trouble here?"
Master Chen followed the crowd and looked in Lu Fan's direction. But when he saw the person, his legs felt a little weak, and he quickly got up to welcome him, "Mr. Lu, it's you!"
The many women were confused, and even Lin Ke was bewildered. The Master Chen before them actually knew Lu Fan.
"Chen Dekai, last time at Old Master Shen's residence, you almost lost your life. Now you're here swindling people again," Lu Fan said coldly. "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"How can this young man speak like that? Master Chen is a half-immortal. Even if there's lightning, it won't strike him,"
"Exactly, exactly! How can you insult Master Chen like this!"
Several women were indignant. They held Chen Dekai in high regard, even considering him a living deity, otherwise, they wouldn't be so concerned.
"Everyone, we're closing for today. We have a distinguished guest," Chen Dekai said with an awkward smile. "Mr. Lu is no ordinary person, so it's natural for him to criticize me a few words."
"Master Chen, how can this be? We haven't received our talismans yet!" several women chimed in.
"I'm not selling anymore. Mr. Lu said these talismans are useless, and I can't spread false information. Everyone, please go back," Chen Dekai said seriously.
Although Chen Dekai had admitted it, the women didn't believe him and could only leave slowly.
