Upon hearing Zhu Yang's words, Chen Mo and the others stared at him as if he were an idiot.
"Over four hundred thousand, a BMW?"
"Heh!"
Chang Wei couldn't help but sneer.
"What are you laughing at? As if you could afford it?" Zhu Yang frowned slightly, his expression showing displeasure.
Chang Wei replied, "We can't afford it, but our Brother Mo can."
As he spoke, he pointed to a BMW parked by the roadside. "See that car? That's our Brother Mo's, also a BMW. How's that for a slap in the face? You dare to show off just because you bought a BMW? Who gave you the courage!"
Everything Chang Wei said made Liu Ze and Wang Qi feel incredibly satisfied.
"Hahahaha!"
However, Zhu Yang and his companions burst into laughter.
"Chang Wei, what did you say? That car belongs to Chen Mo? How is that possible! With his penniless background, how could he afford a BMW during an internship? What a joke!" Zhu Yang said, wiping the tears of laughter from his eyes.
Chen Mo didn't say anything. Instead, he directly took out the car key and pressed it lightly.
Instantly, the BMW's headlights illuminated.
After doing this, Chen Mo placed the car key on the dining table.
Seeing this, Zhu Yang was dumbfounded, his face etched with disbelief.
But Zhu Yang quickly recovered. "Chen Mo must have rented it. How could an orphan with no parents afford a BMW during an internship?"
Chang Wei sneered, "Zhu Yang, open your dog eyes and look closely. That car has a temporary license plate. Have you ever seen anyone rent a car with a temporary license plate on it?"
Zhu Yang was speechless, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal.
He knew very well that rental cars had comprehensive insurance, and they wouldn't be allowed on the road with just a temporary license plate.
"Even if Chen Mo bought a BMW, it couldn't be better than Brother Yang's car. Brother Yang has a BMW 5 Series!" Yin Yin said, linking her arm through Zhu Yang's.
The young man beside Zhu Yang also chimed in, "That's right. Brother Yang bought a 5 Series. Chen Mo's car is at most a 3 Series."
Another young man even ran to the rear of Chen Mo's car to check the badging.
However, when the young man returned, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yang asked.
The young man explained, "Brother Yang, his car doesn't have '530' written on the back at all. It's probably just a 3 Series! He probably removed the badging because he was embarrassed."
"A 3 Series?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yang let out a cold laugh.
He looked at Chen Mo dismissively and said, "Chen Mo, showing off with a 3 Series, you must have taken out a lot of loans, right? Why bother? If you don't have money, don't pretend. Isn't it good to just be a poor ghost?"
"With your car, I just need to lightly step on the accelerator, and you'll have to wait for me for several minutes."
Everyone who heard this burst into laughter.
Zhu Yang's gaze then fell upon Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan, who were beside Chen Mo.
"Ladies, what's so fun about hanging out with this penniless bum? Come over to our side, and I guarantee you'll have an unforgettable time." Zhu Yang's eyes glinted with a lewd expression.
Tian Mengyao looked disgusted and ignored him.
However, Yang Lan, while feeling disgusted, curved her lips. "Oh, a 5 Series car? The horsepower and engine must be very powerful."
Hearing Yang Lan's words, Zhu Yang's face lit up. "Naturally. My car has a stock horsepower of 275, and I've even modified it slightly, pushing the horsepower to a whopping 300. It'll leave his piece of junk in the dust by two streets!"
Yang Lan asked curiously, "Really? Then why don't you have a race? Otherwise, we wouldn't know how powerful your car really is."
"Race? I'm afraid Chen Mo won't dare," Zhu Yang said mockingly.
His car had been modified, and he had no worries about facing a 3 Series. With a step on the accelerator, Chen Mo would at best be smelling his exhaust fumes from behind.
"Alright, since you want to race, let's race," Chen Mo said calmly.
Hearing that there was a race, the surrounding diners also turned their attention.
"Chen Mo, if we're going to race, shouldn't there be some stakes?" Zhu Yang's lips curved into a smile.
"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Chen Mo asked, his expression composed.
However, Chen Mo's composure was seen as mere forced calmness by Zhu Yang and the others, who thought he was trying not to lose face in front of Tian Mengyao and Yang Lan.
"Brother Yang, whoever loses has to set off a box of fireworks inside their car. Setting off fireworks inside the car will definitely look spectacular," Yin Yin suddenly suggested.
"Great idea!"
"My Yin Yin is truly brilliant!" Zhu Yang's eyes lit up, and he planted a kiss on Yin Yin's cheek.
Wang Qi, standing nearby, also showed a flicker of anger.
"Chen Mo, whoever loses sets off fireworks in the car. Do you dare!" Zhu Yang asked, looking at Chen Mo.
"Sure, but."
"But what? You're chicken? If you're scared, then scram. Don't be an eyesore in front of me!" Zhu Yang said mockingly.
Chen Mo looked at Wang Qi and tossed the car key into his hand.
Wang Qi was startled.
Chen Mo said, "You race him."
"But." Wang Qi was shocked and a little timid.
After all, if he lost, he'd have to set off fireworks in the car, and if something went wrong, the car would be ruined!
"It's fine, as long as you can step on the accelerator. Don't worry, he can't beat you," Chen Mo said, patting Wang Qi's shoulder and giving him a reassuring look.
"Hahaha, Chen Mo, aren't you planning to shift the blame to Wang Qi after you lose? That's a pretty nasty move of yours."
Zhu Yang sneered, trying to sow discord between Chen Mo and Wang Qi.
But Wang Qi would never doubt Chen Mo. He immediately stood up and said, "Chen Mo wouldn't be as despicable and shameless as you! I'll race you!"
"Alright, it doesn't matter as long as we set off your cars. Chen Mo, there are so many people watching. If you lose later, don't you dare cry," Zhu Yang said triumphantly, walking towards his car.
"Will everything be alright?" Tian Mengyao couldn't help but ask.
She didn't know much about cars, and hearing that the other party had modified his car, she couldn't help but worry.
"Don't worry," Chen Mo smiled calmly, appearing very relaxed.
Wang Qi knew how to drive, but his skills were not very good. He awkwardly parked the car behind the crosswalk.
At this moment, Zhu Yang's 5 Series also slowly drove over.
However, when Zhu Yang's car was parked next to Chen Mo's car, it was immediately apparent that Zhu Yang's car seemed to be several sizes smaller than Chen Mo's.
"Vroom!"
Zhu Yang revved his engine.
Sitting in the car, he didn't notice anything amiss.
Yin Yin and the others standing outside the car seemed to have noticed something.
"Is this a new model 3 Series? Why does it look bigger than the 5 Series?" a young man asked confusedly.
"Who cares? As long as we wait for Brother Yang to return victorious."
The group didn't know much about cars, so they didn't pay much attention to these details.
