Chapter 24 The Farce Ends and Unexpected Gains
"It seems that Dr. Yu is at least self-aware."
Seeing Yu Chenzhou's indifferent attitude, Gu Mo became even more demanding.
He walked up to Yu Chenzhou, his gaze sweeping defiantly over Xiao Yilin before finally settling on the luxurious Sport Platinum SUV behind them. He chuckled, then turned to Xiao Yilin and said:
"Beautiful lady, I think you've been kept in the dark by him, haven't you?"
They probably don't know his true situation right now, do they?
He's not as successful as he used to be.
The hospital has suspended the core research project he was in charge of, and it's uncertain whether he can keep his job. He's even struggling to pay his mortgage, and I heard that he's already sold his house to make ends meet.
Given his current situation, he'd probably have to seriously consider whether he could even afford a basic car worth a few hundred thousand yuan.
After saying that, he looked at Yu Chenzhou and said in a sarcastic tone.
"I'm giving you a piece of advice: go check out the used car market next door. You might be able to buy a usable car for a few tens of thousands of yuan, which is much better than wasting your time here."
When Gu Mo spoke, he deliberately raised his voice, and the gloating in his tone was almost impossible to hide. He wanted the other customers and sales staff in the showroom to hear him and embarrass Yu Chenzhou in public.
As expected, the commotion drew the attention of those around them, who gathered around, pointing and whispering among themselves, their eyes filled with the curiosity of those watching the spectacle.
After all, being a gossipmonger is an instinct ingrained in every Chinese person.
Xiao Yilin instantly saw through Gu Mo's sinister intentions. She broke free from Yu Chenzhou's grasp, stepped forward to stand in front of him, stared sharply at Gu Mo, and retorted mercilessly:
"You're the Dr. Gu who's incompetent, caused a medical accident at work, and then tried to get my boyfriend to take the blame for you, right?"
"You don't need to worry about my boyfriend's situation. You should focus on yourself and think about how to avoid any accidents during the surgery!"
"You're talking nonsense! What medical malpractice!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yilin bring up his embarrassing past in public, Gu Mo's face instantly turned ugly, and he stiffly defended himself.
"The hospital and relevant departments have already investigated and clarified the matter; this has nothing to do with me, and my innocence has been cleared!"
However, the onlookers, who are naturally inclined to believe rumors, were even more convinced of such "insider information" and were unlikely to readily accept his explanation.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze towards Gu Mo changed, and the whispers and pointing grew louder, making Gu Mo feel a burning sensation on his face.
Gu Mo knew that any explanation now would be futile and would only make him look more embarrassed.
He decided to throw caution to the wind and secretly plotted that since Yu Chenzhou had made him lose face in front of everyone, he wouldn't let Yu Chenzhou get away with it.
Even if they couldn't embarrass Yu Chenzhou in public, they would force him to spend a large sum of money on a car, making him feel heartbroken.
He stared intently at Yu Chenzhou and shouted excitedly:
"Yu Chenzhou, stop pretending to be tough here!"
Let me tell you, the Cadillac Escalade extended version behind you costs more than two million yuan after the road!
Even if you sell the house, you'll only get a few million. Now you're about to lose your job, and you'll have to be careful with your meals from now on. How can you even look at luxury cars like this?
Don't try to act all high and mighty; you'll make a fool of yourself!
Let's go to the used car market next door.
After saying that, he winked at Zhu Ying beside him, signaling her to help create momentum.
Zhu Ying immediately understood and quickly stepped forward, turning her attention to the salesperson beside her, and feigning concern as she advised:
"Young lady, you must be the salesperson responsible for greeting them, right?"
Listen to your sister's advice, don't waste your time on him.
He simply doesn't have the financial means to buy such a luxury car; he's just here to admire it from afar. You should go and attend to the other real clients!
"That's right! Yu Chenzhou!"
Gu Mo continued to fan the flames from the side, his tone becoming even more sarcastic.
"If you don't have the ability, don't put on airs. Take your woman and leave this place. Don't embarrass yourself and affect the business of the 4S store!"
The salesperson was caught off guard by this unexpected farce.
She glanced at the emotionally charged Gu Mo and Zhu Ying, then at the calm-looking Yu Chenzhou.
Then, looking troubled, she glanced at Yu Chenzhou, her eyes full of questions, waiting for him to make a decision.
After all, the salesperson knew very well that Yu Chenzhou was really interested in the other two cars. He had only just wandered around in front of the extended version of the Escalade out of boredom and had no intention of buying it.
Despite Gu Mo's relentless pressure, Yu Chenzhou remained calm and composed.
He slowly raised his hand, waved it, and glanced at the rows of luxury cars on display in the exhibition hall.
Then, with a half-smile, he looked at Gu Mo and said in a calm yet sharp tone:
Whether I can afford this car or not is another matter.
At least now I can buy whatever I want, and I dare to drive it out.
"But you, Dr. Gu, I want to ask you, which of these cars in this showroom would you dare to buy and drive home?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Mo's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he stood there speechless for a long time.
He knew better than anyone that Yu Chenzhou was telling the truth.
Even if Yu Chenzhou sold the house, he would still have more than enough money to buy a luxury car. Moreover, Yu Chenzhou had no ties, so he could drive the car whenever he wanted without having to worry too much.
But he was different. His father was a public servant, and his family always required him to keep a low profile and not to be too flamboyant.
If he dared to buy a high-profile, ostentatious car like a Cadillac and drive it home, his father would be furious and might even break his legs.
Moreover, as a doctor, his profession requires him to keep a low profile and avoid unnecessary trouble.
While Cadillac may not be considered a top-tier luxury car, it is still a second-tier luxury brand. Given his family background, driving such a car would easily attract gossip and trouble.
One or two incidents might be manageable, but if they happen too often, it will inevitably affect his father's career. At that point, it will be hard to say whether he can even keep his job, let alone get promoted at the hospital.
After all, which leader would be willing to give important positions to someone who is prone to causing trouble?
Those watching at the scene, seeing Gu Mo's embarrassed appearance and combining it with Yu Chenzhou's words, suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that this arrogant man didn't dare to buy a luxury car himself; he just came here to deliberately make things difficult for others and try to get attention.
To put it bluntly, they were just there to join in the fun and have a good look at the spectacle, so everyone immediately felt contempt for Gu Mo.
"Hmph, so what if I don't dare to drive?"
Feeling uncomfortable under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Gu Mo decided to go all out and retorted defiantly, still stubbornly using provocation to pressure Yu Chenzhou.
"But do you dare to buy it? If you're really capable, pay for this car right now!"
Seeing that Gu Mo was still using such childish reverse psychology at this point, Yu Chenzhou suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter was full of undisguised mockery, and the way they looked at Gu Mo was as if they were looking at a clown jumping around.
He spoke slowly, his tone tinged with disdain:
"Haha, young man, you're still too green."
Do you think I got to where I am today because of acting impulsively?
This kind of low-level provocation tactic has absolutely no effect on me.
If I were so easily provoked by you and made irrational decisions, I could never have become the best surgeon in the hospital.
Whether you're a doctor or a person, there's still so much for you to learn.
Besides, I bought the car for my own comfort and practicality, not to show off to others.
This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
Yu Chenzhou's last words directly exposed Gu Mo's competitive and vain nature, completely shattering Gu Mo's last psychological defense and becoming the final straw that broke him.
Gu Mo stood there, his face turning pale and then red, unable to utter a single word of rebuttal for a long time.
Just as Gu Mo was feeling extremely embarrassed and unable to save face, the salesperson's phone suddenly rang.
After hanging up the phone, she skillfully broke the awkward silence by saying to Yu Chenzhou:
"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The CT5-V Blackwing I test drove has returned, and all the paperwork is complete. I can go over for a test drive now.
After speaking, she turned to look at Gu Mo and Zhu Ying, who were blocking her way, her tone flat but tinged with sarcasm:
"Sir, please move aside. You're blocking our way to the test drive area."
Although the salesperson spoke in a plain tone, his words were packed with information, instantly enlightening everyone present.
It turns out that they weren't actually there to see the extended version of the Escalade; they had already chosen the CT5-V Blackwing and were just waiting for a test drive.
They were the real buyers, while Gu Mo, who jumped out to provoke them, was the real clown.
The way everyone looked at Gu Mo became increasingly disdainful.
Yu Chenzhou nodded slightly to the salesperson, took Xiao Yilin's hand, and followed the salesperson straight out, without glancing at Gu Mo again, as if the other person was just air.
Under the strange and disdainful gazes of everyone present, Gu Mo felt utterly ashamed, his face burning with embarrassment. He wished he could disappear into the ground and could only slink away from the 4S store with his head down.
However, Zhu Ying did not leave with Gu Mo. She rolled her eyes and quickly walked over to a salesperson, asking about the price of the CT5-V Blackwing.
He then hurriedly went outside the store, took out his phone, and dialed Su Qinghuan's number.
She was planning in her mind that she had to tell Su Qinghuan the news that Xiao Yilin had returned to China, reconciled with Yu Chenzhou, and even went to buy a luxury car together.
Let Su Qinghuan teach this "cheating couple" a good "lesson".
The unexpected farce has come to an end.
Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin successfully completed the test drive and were very satisfied with the performance and comfort of the CT5-V Blackwing and Escalade.
After discussion, considering the long-term implications, Xiao Yilin ultimately decided to purchase the Cadillac Escalade SUV.
To his surprise, this little incident brought him unexpected joy.
Just as he was about to discuss the details of the car purchase with the salesperson, a familiar system notification suddenly rang in his mind:
"When faced with malicious mockery and provocation from others, the host has remained clear-headed and rational, successfully resolving the trouble. Congratulations, host, you have been awarded one chance to win a prize."
Yu Chenzhou was overjoyed and silently calculated in his mind that, including this time, he had accumulated four chances to participate in the lottery.
He secretly decided that once he got back after buying the car, he would immediately participate in the lottery to see what good things he could win.
