Urban Villain: The Game of Wealth and Women

{Chapter: 40 Can you be sold enough to buy even a TIRE}

"No boyfriend? Hah! Chi Qian's boyfriend is so much better than yours! He's the heir to a Hundred Billion Conglomerate, more handsome than any celebrity, and incredibly gentle and considerate! Your boyfriend doesn't even come close!" Yu Shanshan scoffed.

Chi Qian had been the center of attention, but now, the commotion around them only drew in more people, gathering a small crowd.

Zhang Manli, always craving attention, reveled in the eyes of the onlookers. Rather than feeling embarrassed, she proudly enjoyed the attention.

"Everyone knows you, Yu Shanshan, are nothing but a walking fairy tale! Really? Her boyfriend is a young master of a Hundred Billion Conglomerate, more handsome than a celebrity, gentle, and considerate? That's laughable!" Zhang Manli sneered, still holding Wang Wei's hand.

"A lie? Ridiculous. You found an old man driving a BMW and now you're boasting about it. How embarrassing," Yu Shanshan fired back.

"What's your problem, little girl? I really love Manli, alright? What's wrong with a BMW? If I had known that BMWs were beneath you, I would've driven my Ferrari." Wang Wei, a middle-aged man with a growing belly, attempted to defend himself, unable to withstand Yu Shanshan's taunts.

As he spoke, Wang Wei carelessly displayed a gleaming Rolex watch, hoping it might catch Chi Qian's eye.

"Yes, we're in love. Just admit you're jealous, hmph." Zhang Manli chimed in, her words dripping with pride, although the truth was, her interest in Wang Wei was more about his wealth than his charm.

"And where's your boyfriend, huh? No one has even seen him!" Zhang Manli sneered, scanning the area as if trying to prove a point.

A few girls, jealous of Chi Qian's grace and beauty, whispered among themselves.

"She's just pretending; no way does she have a boyfriend. She's all looks but no substance."

"Exactly! Always acting high and mighty, like she's too good for anyone! Probably just wants to sell herself to the highest bidder!"

"And what 'young master'? I haven't even seen a glimpse of him!"

Despite their snide remarks, Yu Shanshan struggled to stand her ground, as the gossip and judgment from the surrounding girls intensified.

"You—you're just bitter and jealous, aren't you? Dare to slander Chi Qian like this, but Chi Qian—" Yu Shanshan began, her voice filled with righteous fury, but Chi Qian interrupted her gently.

"Let's go. There's no point in wasting time on them. Let's head to the stadium," she said softly, taking Yu Shanshan's hand and leading her away.

Yu Shanshan, still fuming, couldn't help but admire Chi Qian's composure, even as she was frustrated by the gossip.

"You're amazing, you know that? Just look at the looks on their faces!" Yu Shanshan said with admiration.

Chi Qian only smiled faintly, her upbringing and refined nature having made her indifferent to such trivial matters. However, when her anger was truly roused, even the most formidable would quake.

"I wonder when my cousin will arrive," Yu Shanshan said, still scanning the crowd as she walked beside Chi Qian, eager to move forward.

As the two prepared to leave, Zhang Manli couldn't help but taunt them one final time.

"Oh, now that her fake boyfriend hasn't shown up, she's leaving? How amusing!"

"Couldn't even accomplish anything and now she's just walking away," Zhang Manli mocked.

"Bragging about a young master more handsome than a celebrity? Does she think she's the main character in a romance novel or something?" she laughed, her words dripping with derision.

The crowd's mutterings didn't seem to faze Chi Qian or Yu Shanshan, but just as they prepared to head toward the stadium, an unexpected burst of excited exclamations rippled through the crowd.

"Wow! What car is that? It's gorgeous!"

"Is that a Pagani Zonda Cinque? I thought there were only five in the world! Is someone in Jiangbei City driving it?!"

"That's got to be worth at least 40 or 50 million! I can't even dream of owning something like that!"

The crowd began to part in awe as the car made its way toward the gate of Jinhua Square. All eyes were on the luxurious vehicle, curiosity buzzing through the air.

Yu Shanshan's eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed Chi Qian's arm, excitement lighting up her face. "Cousin! It must be him! My cousin must have arrived!" she exclaimed.

Chi Qian, however, remained calm, her smile still faint but serene.

As the crowd parted for the sleek Pagani, the car drove gracefully to the entrance. The air was thick with anticipation, everyone curious about the identity of the car's owner and what they looked like.

"What's the big deal? It's just a few extra bucks. Stop showing off," someone muttered sourly.

"Why be jealous? A 50 million Pagani? Is that just a few bucks to you? Would you even be able to buy a tire with what you've got?" someone else retorted, teasing the first person into silence.

"Maybe he's an ugly old man, huh? That's why he hides behind such a flashy car," another grumbled, trying to save face.

Zhang Manli, however, eyed the car with interest, calculating how she could possibly meet its owner. The idea of abandoning Wang Wei for a chance with someone this wealthy thrilled her. She glanced at him with growing disdain; if it weren't for his money, she wouldn't have given him a second glance.

As the Pagani came to a stop, everyone stared, waiting for the door to open. When it did, they expected to see an older man, perhaps a middle-aged businessman with little regard for appearance. But instead, a young and strikingly handsome man stepped out.

"My God! He's gorgeous!"

"So Handsome!"

"So hot!"

"Male God!"

"Wow, what a looker!"

The entire crowd, especially the girls, went silent as Lin Yuan stepped out of the car, his striking features and aura capturing every eye in the vicinity. He didn't even have to speak; the girls' hearts were already lost.
