Chapter 1666 — We Still Need One More Car
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Exactly. How could we possibly let you spend your money here?" Leader Tang thought to himself. It seemed that Mother Tang and Bingtang were extraordinarily close. Otherwise, who would dare call Bingtang a good-for-nothing brat? Anyone else who did so would become the good-for-nothing brat himself! And now Bingtang was saying nothing, which was sufficient proof of the relationship between her and Mother Tang.
"I heard there's a car called a Bugatti. It sounds pretty good, and I hear you have to place an order in advance. How about that one?" Mother Tang said after thinking it over.
"What?" Leader Tang froze, having failed to hear her clearly. His thoughts were usually occupied with other matters, and he knew little about cars. He was familiar with brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but when it came to the makes of top-tier sports cars like this, he truly had no idea.
"It's just a car I rather like. How about I go buy it myself?" Mother Tang suggested.
"That works too. Go ahead and buy it yourself. I'll give you a card later. Tell me how much the car costs, and I'll transfer the money to you!" Leader Tang did not think much of it. How expensive could one car possibly be? Letting Mother Tang buy it herself would save him the trouble.
Elder Tang did not know much about sports cars either, so naturally he had no idea what one cost. He said nothing. Only Tang Yuyi's lips twitched twice as he glanced at Mother Tang, feeling a pang of sympathy for his father. It was over. His father was doomed.
Leader Tang might not know the price of a Bugatti, but Tang Yuyi did! He had heard people discuss the car while associating with the sons and daughters of other Hidden Families. Supposedly, only three had ever been produced worldwide, each costing twenty-five million. It was practically the most expensive car in existence!
Mother Tang had learned of the car purely by chance. She had overheard the grandson of the old woman who sold watermelons downstairs discussing this world-class sports car with his classmates. They had said it was one of the most expensive cars in the world. Mother Tang had been stunned at the time. Twenty-five million for a single car?
So Mother Tang had remembered the name. She had never expected it to come in handy now! It seemed that indulging in a little gossip now and then had its advantages. If she had not known about this car and had simply named a Mercedes or a BMW, how could she have gotten so much money?
"I think that car costs twenty-five million. I don't know whether we'll be able to place an order, but that's all right. Give me fifty million to cover the purchase tax, insurance, and things like that. That should definitely be enough. But to be on the safe side, you could give me a hundred million instead!" Mother Tang demanded shamelessly.
She had figured it out. Leader Tang was trying to curry favor with Bingtang, and Bingtang was her daughter. If she did not take advantage of the situation now, when would she?
"A hundred million? What?" Leader Tang nearly rolled his eyes. He had already spent almost a hundred million on the villa, and now a car would cost another hundred million? Did she think his family was a bank? Even a landlord's family had no surplus grain! His family might be a Hidden Family, but its annual income was not that substantial. Two hundred million would vanish in a single stroke. Money really did flow out like water!
Elder Tang's eyebrows twitched as well. Even he had to admit it: this woman was ruthless!
