Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 550 - 553: Speak!

Upon hearing Liu Ergou's words, the female boss gave him a surprised look.

Liu Ergou continued, "I understand what you mean, boss, especially when it comes to a beautiful girl like Zhou Na. I'm sure more than one man has had designs on her, and some have probably dangled the prospect of buying a car to get what they want."

"But I look down on that kind of behavior. It's natural to admire beauty, and if you're interested, you should pursue her openly and honestly. If she says no, then that's the end of it."

"There's no need to resort to threats. That sort of thing is just pathetic. Besides, I genuinely need the vehicles. My plantation and my new business both require commercial vans."

"Honestly, boss, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have completely forgotten about it. If that had happened, I would have been in a real bind when the time came!"

The female boss fell silent. She had been watching Liu Ergou's eyes the entire time he spoke. She saw no trace of deceit in his gaze, only candor and sincerity.

In the end, she chose to believe him.

"Alright, I'm willing to believe you," the female boss said. "Honestly, I don't want to offend my clients, but the incident that happened a while ago was really..."

Just as she was speaking, Zhou Na ran over with a thick stack of contracts, making Liu Ergou feel a bit annoyed. To be interrupted right in the middle of a juicy story… This was unbearable.

Although he was itching with impatience, he maintained a calm expression. After all, he couldn't let his gossipy nature show in front of others. Suppressing his frustration, Liu Ergou signed all five contracts and paid with his card.

Once everything was settled, Liu Ergou told the female boss that he wouldn't be taking the vans yet and asked to store them at the dealership for the time being. The female boss naturally agreed.

Zhou Na seized the opportunity to ask the female boss for time off, saying she had plans for the afternoon. Hearing her request, the female boss gave Liu Ergou a peculiar look but said nothing.

After that, Liu Ergou left the dealership with Zhou Na and headed straight for the nearest hotel to get something to eat. Buying those vehicles had taken a considerable amount of time, and Liu Ergou was starving, though he hadn't said anything.

At the hotel, Liu Ergou ordered a table full of dishes and then started chatting with Zhou Na. He was dying of curiosity about what had happened at the dealership that would prompt the boss to question him like that.

Without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point.

"Zhou Na, I was chatting with your boss earlier. Do you know what we talked about?"

Zhou Na shook her head, indicating that she didn't.

Seeing her shake her head, Liu Ergou continued, "Your boss warned me not to try anything funny with you. Then she mentioned that something had happened at the shop a while back. I'm guessing it's related to what she said to me today. So, do you know what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhou Na understood immediately and told him the whole story.

The story wasn't complicated. A while ago, Deng Peng, the man Liu Ergou had previously embarrassed, had suddenly shown up at the dealership. He told Zhou Na that he would buy a car from her—a luxury model worth millions—on the condition that she spend a night with him. If she refused, the deal was off.

Had this been the old Zhou Na, she would have happily skipped off to be with Deng Peng. But now, she was being kept by Liu Ergou. Furthermore, her best friend had told her that Deng Peng was a liar. As a result, Zhou Na didn't trust him much anymore. She told Deng Peng to buy the car first, and she would accompany him afterward.

Hearing this part, Liu Ergou immediately became displeased.

"What, Zhou Na? I'm already taking care of you, and you were still thinking of going behind my back with another man..."

Hearing this, Zhou Na quickly waved her hands in denial.

"It's not like that, Er... Master!" she exclaimed. "I was planning to introduce another one of my best friends to him. After all, better her than me!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Her words earned her a silent thumbs-up from Liu Ergou. This woman was something else! Truly unscrupulous. To achieve her goal, she'd even throw her best friend under the bus.

Liu Ergou didn't say anything more and simply gestured for her to continue.

What happened next was simple. Deng Peng didn't want to spend any money and was only after a free ride, so Zhou Na certainly wasn't going to give him what he wanted and decisively rejected him. Deng Peng then caused a scene in the store. If the female boss hadn't stepped in to resolve the situation, things could have escalated significantly.

After hearing Zhou Na's account, Liu Ergou finally understood the full picture.

At this moment, Zhou Na added, "Um, Master, you should be careful. Back when Deng Peng and I were still on good terms, I heard him say he wants to get even with you."

Her words made Liu Ergou burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, get even with me?" Liu Ergou said with an amused expression. "Then let him come. I'll be right here waiting for him!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Zhou Na grew anxious.

"Master, you don't understand! That Deng Peng guy has some influence, you..."

Before she could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off.

"So what? I've dealt with people far more troublesome than him. Have you heard of the chairman of Ting Tian Pavilion? I provoked him too, and still walked away unscathed! So what makes some guy named Deng Peng so special?"

Liu Ergou's words made Zhou Na's jaw drop in astonishment. Although she had never been to Ting Tian Pavilion, she had heard plenty of stories about it. She'd heard one about some big shot in the city who lost a fortune there and demanded his money back. Within days, the man ended up losing everything and begging on the streets.

Thinking of this, Zhou Na looked at Liu Ergou with even greater awe. She never imagined the man in front of her was so formidable. It looks like I really didn't make the wrong choice back then.

As Zhou Na was lost in her thoughts, Liu Ergou suddenly spoke. "You know, Zhou Na. The first time we met, you were mocking and ridiculing me. The second time, you were throwing yourself at me. And by the third time, you're already concerned about my well-being."

"I'm a self-aware guy. I'm not so charming that a beautiful woman like you would throw herself at me for no reason. So, tell me. Besides the money, what is it you really want from me?"

Liu Ergou's bluntness caught Zhou Na completely off guard. However, after a brief moment of shock, she quickly composed herself.
