LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 21: Car shopping
Shopping for new cars was more of a nightmare than Chi Lian anticipated. This was because the excited Chi Zimo was currently running around the car store like a kid in a candy store.
When she had asked who wanted a new car, she had not meant to include her youngest brother in the group. However, to her dismay, he was the first to rush out of the house while shouting "me, me," over and over.
Thanks to his behavior of jumping from one car to another, the beautiful sales girls were keeping a distance from them. While they were blushing and acting shy and coy when her two elder brothers looked at them smiled, they had lumped them into a group of good looking but broke people.
Chi Lian watched her brother adorably and smiled. In her previous life, she had not experienced the joy of being an older sister. Now that she was one, she intended to spoil her darling little brother unceasingly. Of course, she would be strict with his discipline though.
She looked at her elder brothers who were watching the youngest with disdain on their faces.
"Ignore him and choose the cars you want. Your sister is a little wealthy woman today."
"Is there a limit to the budget?" Chi Rui asked.
His interest was held by the red sports car which in his mind would get him the attention of all the beautiful girls he wanted. He was a single man that intended to enjoy his youth maximally.
Chi Lian could easily read his thoughts which were written all over his face.
"It's one point five million for you."
"Yes, thank you sister." He carried her and swung her around.
When he put her down, she looked at Chi Wei, "What about you eldest brother?"
Chi Wei smiled a little bit and sighed, "I should be the one doing this for you, not the other way round."
In his heart, he was proud of everything his little sitter had managed to accomplish in a short period of time but he was sad because he felt like the family was over burdening her. She was at an age where she should be going on dates, taking vacations and chasing her dreams. Instead she was starting a business to support the family.
"Older brother, if you continue being like this I will not talk to you anymore." Chi Lian pretended to be angry and looked away from him.
"Chi-Chi, older brother did not mean to make you sad or angry. I am sorry, hmm_" he coaxed and patted her hair.
"Humph." She crossed her arms over her chest and looked away from him.
"If you don't forgive me I will show Jun Muyang a picture of your morning face."
Chi Lian looked at him like he had just sold her out to an enemy.
"You wouldn't."
"I would." He smirked and laughed.
"Just choose a car already. Why are you bringing Jun Muyang into this anyway?"
"Because you loooooove him." Chi Zimo interrupted their conversation and said. In addition to that, he made pouty and kissing sounds.
"You are so juvenile." Chi Lian rolled her eyes as her bothers laughed.
"Do you know that people online are calling you Poorella." Chi Rui asked.
"Poorella! What does that even mean?" she asked.
"Poor Cinderella" Chi Zimo said.
"According to the mighty little peep star you are the poor girl who has made it big in life by dating the wealthy Jun Muyang. Like Cinderella and the prince." Chi Rui explained.
She pulled out her phone and checked and truly, she was being referred to as the empire's new Cinderella.
"I have to give this paparazzo credit for taking good pictures. I look beautiful." Chi Lian admired the pictures of herself posted online.
The Chi siblings were really vain when it came to their looks.
"Is that all you care about? The women in those comments are threatening to kill you unless you break up with Jun Muyang. Are you really dating him?" Chi Wei asked.
Aside from curiosity, he was worried about the potential implications of his sister being involved with Jun Muyang. He was an even bigger fish than Bholin.
This meant a bigger problem if his sister got involved with him. The Jun family was not just wealthy, they were super wealthy and related to the royal family. They carefully chose spouses for their children and a single mother would not be welcomed into that family with open arms. She would be mocked and thrown out.
"I am in the process of trying to start a relationship with him."
"You are wooing him!" Chi Zimo Shouted in shock. "Sister how can you be the one chasing a man?" He was horrified.
"Who said that a woman cannot woo a man?"
The three brothers could not come up with a proper answer to her question. Indeed, there was no rule that a woman could not woo a man.
"In fact, let me get back to wooing my man right now." Chi Lian smiled shamelessly and pulled her phone out.
She made and order for nine hundred ninety nine red roses to be sent to Jun Muyang's office.
"She has gone crazy." Chi Zimo whispered.
"Do you still want a car or not?"
Chi Zimo run back quickly to his car of choice.
"Have you all made your choices?" she asked.
She called the shy sales girl who had been peeping at her ever since she stepped into the store and the girl quickly made her way to her.
"We would like to pay for our cars." She said.
"Lady Chi," the girl whispered, "Can I please ask for an autograph?" she held out a notepad with shaking hands.
"Mine!" Chi Lian placed her hand over her chest in shock.
"Yes, I am your fan. You were so cool when you chasing after the rebels. I think you are so brave and righteous." The girl's eyes were sparkling with untold reverence.
Chi Lian laughed at the cute sight before her. "Alright."
She signed the note pad and pinched the girl's cheeks. To her shock, the girl blushed as if the person before her was her boyfriend or crush.
"How cute," Chi Lian laughed.
"Sister the car," Chi Zimo coughed.
"Sorry, which car are you buying?" the young sales girl looked at Chi Zimo.
"We want five cars." Chi Lian answered.
The girls face dropped in shocked. Five cars would mean at least thirty five thousand as a bonus for her. That is almost a full year's salary for her.
"I will call the manager immediately." She took off running into one of the offices.
When she returned, an older middle aged gentleman with thinning hair that was dressed in tight jeans and a white shirt was walking ahead of her.
"Isn't he too old for tight jeans?" Chi Zimo whispered.
"Shut up." Chi Wei answered.
The manager smiled as he walked to them, "We are very happy to have you in our offices today please tell me how we can help you." He smiled so broadly.
"We want those five cars now; we will be paying in full for all of them." Chi Lian indicated at each car.
In his head, the manager calculated the total price of the five cars, it was around seven and half million.
"Let us step into my office as we work on you."
As they were heading into the office, a young lanky man came running into the car store. A few body guards were running after him.
"Lady Chi, Lady Chi, hold on." He shouted so loudly that people all around turned around to see what was happening.
"Young master." The manager gasped.
Ignoring him, the young man who was panting and sweating walked to Chi Lian, "Sister, please sell me a bat."
"I don't have any bats left."
"Ten million, sister, I will pay ten million. I the young beautiful young Daosi of B city do not lack any money."
