They often judged people based on their appearance, but ordinary families couldn't raise such beautiful and refined children.
"How should I address you two? My surname is Zhang, you can call me Xiao Zhang," the saleswoman said.
"Surname Shen," Shen Huaisang replied, his tone much stiffer.
Xiao Zhang didn't seem too surprised. "Miss Shen, Mr. Shen, what kind of car are you looking for? We have all sorts of models here. If you have a preferred model, tell me, and I'll show you."
"Sedan or SUV, with good performance. Most importantly, it needs to have a lot of space," Shen Yao said.
They were buying a car for daily commuting. Comfort and performance were paramount, especially since although most roads were now accessible, the roads leading to their home still had many steep slopes.
If the performance wasn't strong enough, it wouldn't do.
"Alright, you should take a look at this model. This sedan is this year's new model, with a great exterior..."
Shen Yao listened as Xiao Zhang introduced the car. Although she didn't understand cars, Shen Huaisang did, and he seemed quite pleased.
Shen Yao nodded, reaching a conclusion: this car was good, they could buy it!
Seeing that neither of them had agreed to buy, Xiao Zhang went to introduce another SUV. Shen Yao immediately took a liking to that model.
While the general shape of SUVs was similar, she just felt this car suited her taste.
After listening to the introduction, Shen Yao was even more satisfied. It even had an automatic parking function, which she liked.
Her parking skills were indeed not very good. Although she could use her spiritual energy to help, she couldn't exactly lift the car with her bare hands and place it in a parking spot on the street.
"We'll buy it. Two of these and two of those. How much will it cost?" Shen Yao decided to buy them with a sweep of her hand.
Xiao Zhang's mouth dropped open; she couldn't believe what she had heard!
Other customers came and debated back and forth, but this young lady not only didn't hesitate but was buying four cars at once!
It wasn't just Xiao Zhang; even Shen Huaisang was startled by her.
He had thought she only wanted to buy one car for herself, but he never expected her to buy so many.
"Yaoyao, why are you buying so many cars!" Even with money, it shouldn't be spent like this!
"Is it a lot? It's not. Second brother's hasn't been bought yet. We can wait until second brother gets back, in case he buys one he doesn't like and we have to change it."
Shen Huaisang almost toppled over. Did she think buying cars was like changing clothes? If you didn't like it, you just changed it!
Shen Yao felt her reasoning was perfectly sound. This car would be one for her parents, one for her eldest brother, one for her third brother, and one for herself. It was just the right amount.
"No! You can buy one for yourself, but we don't need them!" Shen Huaisang said. He knew his sister had money, but no matter how much money she had, she should still spend it wisely!
Shen Yao ignored Shen Huaisang and spoke directly to Xiao Zhang, "Go and calculate the total cost. I'm buying so many, there should be a discount."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhang knew it was a big order and quickly said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go and ask my manager."
Seeing Xiao Zhang leave, Shen Huaisang looked at Shen Yao with disapproval. "Little sister!"
Shen Yao sensed Shen Huaisang was truly angry and quickly tried to appease him. "Third brother, I have money. I just want everyone to live more comfortably. I know you don't want me to spend money, but I'm also a part of this family, and I want to do something for the family too."
As she spoke, Shen Yao's eyes almost welled up with tears. In her previous life, she had been hit and killed by a car. Although she didn't know how her family had managed during that time, it certainly couldn't have been easy.
Now that she had a second chance, she simply wanted her family to be happy.
"Besides, don't think I haven't noticed, you actually really like that car!" Shen Yao stated decisively.
Shen Huaisang: ...
Just as he was about to say something more, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "Oh, isn't this the heartthrob from our class? What's wrong? Can't afford a car, and you've made your girlfriend cry?"
Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang turned around simultaneously at the sound. They saw a woman with a "fox spirit" face clinging to a middle-aged man with a large head and fat ears.
Shen Yao thought she didn't recognize her, but Shen Huaisang's expression was conflicted; he clearly wasn't sure if this was someone he knew.
"Wu Mengjiao?" Shen Huaisang called out a name uncertainly.
"Hmph," Wu Mengjiao snorted disdainfully, her head held high.
Shen Yao quietly leaned closer to Shen Huaisang and whispered, "Who is that?"
Shen Huaisang didn't know how to answer. He couldn't exactly say that this person was a former admirer.
Furthermore, he remembered that Wu Mengjiao didn't used to look like this. If not for the general shape of her face, he wouldn't have recognized her.
Seeing Shen Yao leaning close to Shen Huaisang and their intimate demeanor, Wu Mengjiao's heart blazed with anger. "Is this your girlfriend? If you ask me, you poor wretch shouldn't bring your girlfriend to a place like this. After all, it's embarrassing for you if you can't afford anything."
The fat uncle beside Wu Mengjiao stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Shen Yao. She was too, too beautiful!
"Jiaojiao, why aren't you introducing her?" the fat uncle asked, ogling Shen Yao lecherously.
Shen Yao felt disgusted by his gaze, and Shen Huaisang noticed it too. He quickly stepped in front of Shen Yao.
"Brother Liu, this is my former high school classmate. As for this lady, she's probably his girlfriend," Wu Mengjiao said fawningly.
In her heart, she couldn't help but curse Shen Yao, thinking what use was it for this vixen to be so beautiful? She was still following a pauper.
Suddenly, Wu Mengjiao thought of something. She quickly pulled Brother Liu aside and whispered something to him.
When the two walked back, Brother Liu reached out his hand towards Shen Yao. "What should I call you, beautiful lady? Let's be friends."
Shen Huaisang was almost furious. He quickly slapped Brother Liu's hand away and said fiercely, "Get lost!"
Damn it, with that kind of appearance, he still wanted to covet his sister. The nerve!
"You brat, don't be ungrateful. I'm talking to this lady, what business is it of yours?" He then scanned them up and down. "Poor wretch."
Shen Yao watched Shen Huaisang and Brother Liu with amusement. She found this experience very novel.
It had been centuries since someone had sought death in front of her like this. It's just that this person was really ugly.
"Exactly, you shouldn't be unappreciative. Brother Liu is a big boss of a listed company in our city Q. It's your good fortune that he fancies your girlfriend!" Wu Mengjiao said haughtily.
In her opinion, no matter how handsome a man was, nothing was as practical as money.
"Sister, let me tell you, it's useless for this man to be handsome; he needs to be rich. Look at him, he can't even afford a car for you. What's the use of a man like this? If you follow Brother Liu, I guarantee you'll eat well and live lavishly. Cars and houses are just a word from Brother Liu."
