Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 209 - 210 Whose Audi A6!
"You can be poor, but you can’t be without ambition. If you have money, you have money. If you don’t, you don’t. Why lie about it? Dignity is earned through strength, not boasting. Otherwise, you’ll be the ones who get hurt in the end."
Old Master Zhang sighed as he looked at Tang Xuewu, his face filled with disappointment.
"Grandpa, I really didn’t..." Tang Xuewu tried to continue.
"Alright, alright. I know you’re proud, so let’s just drop it," Old Master Zhang bluntly rejected her explanation and turned his head away.
"This..." Tang Xuewu shook her head helplessly. She felt wronged and could now truly empathize with how Qin Long must have felt. Back then, Qin Long was the one being misunderstood, and even she had viewed him that way. Now, she was the one being misjudged. It was the exact same situation. The Zhang family wasn’t giving her a chance to explain either, firmly convinced that her family couldn’t afford a large villa.
"It’s okay, Xuewu, don’t be angry," Qin Long said, looking at her before his eyes swept over their surroundings with a teasing smirk. "The real show is yet to come."
"Alright..." Tang Xuewu heard him and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Tang Xuewu had stopped trying to explain, Zhang Xiaoran, who was standing to the side, sneered.
"Say, Big Brother, where is your villa? Why don’t you take us for a look?" Zhang Meide asked Zhang Daojun politely. "As it happens, our Mingjie and Yue’er are planning to get married and need to buy a marital home."
"No problem. We paid for it in full," Zhang Daojun said with cold arrogance. "Unlike certain people who can only brag and show off. Dad, you should come with us too."
He knew that some of them wouldn’t believe him. Although they had bought a second-hand villa, it had been completely renovated and looked brand new. So what if he took them to see it? Were they going to force him to show the property deed?
"Haha! Daojun, you’ve really done me proud. Alright, this old man will go join in on the fun," Old Master Zhang laughed heartily, pleased as he stood up with his cane. "My eldest son is truly impressive."
"Qin Long..." Tang Xuewu looked at him helplessly.
"Let’s all go. I happen to have the key card with me," Qin Long said. "We can let Auntie Lan and Uncle De look around, too."
Hearing this, Tang Xuewu smiled in satisfaction.
"Meilan, let’s go! What are you doing just standing there?" Zhang Daojun called out teasingly, seeing Zhang Meilan’s dazed expression.
"Brother, I just remembered I have something important to take care of..." Zhang Meilan gritted her teeth, trying to find an excuse to slip away.
"Oh, come on. What could be so important? It’s not every day that all the siblings get together," Zhang Daojun pressed. "Won’t you come with your big brother to see the villa?" He knew Zhang Meilan was losing face, and the more that was the case, the more excited he became. He wanted to thoroughly humiliate his younger sister.
"Exactly, Second Aunt! It’ll be so much fun if we all go together."
"Yes, let’s all go for a tour of downtown Jiangzhong City and broaden our horizons. It’ll be great!"
Old Master Zhang also turned to Zhang Meilan and said slowly, "Meilan, this is a very important event for the Zhang family. Put your own matters aside; they can’t be that important."
Since her father had spoken, Zhang Meilan couldn’t argue. She nodded reluctantly.
"Let’s go, let’s go! After we see the villa, we can have Cousin Ranran treat us to a meal. How about we go to the most luxurious hotel?" Zhang Daojun suggested, pursing his lips in a smug smile.
And with that, the entire Zhang family headed out the door. Qin Long followed behind them, supported by Tang Xuewu.
Though the Zhang family wasn’t a wealthy clan, each of them had their own car, which was still quite impressive.
"Wow, Brother Mingjie, your Audi must have cost over four hundred thousand, right?" a young man exclaimed.
"It’s alright..." The usually ostentatious and proud Li Mingjie was surprisingly humble today, responding politely to every comment.
"Haha, look at Brother Mingjie! And here we are, driving cars that only cost a few tens of thousands..."
"In our family, Brother Mingjie and Cousin Ranran are the ones rolling in it, haha."
"Wow, Sister Ranran, is that a Mercedes CC?" the crowd exclaimed, shifting their compliments to Zhang Xiaoran.
"Haha, it wasn’t that expensive. Just a little over four hundred thousand," Zhang Xiaoran said, waving her hand dismissively with a look of cold arrogance. After all, apart from Li Mingjie’s Audi A4, her Mercedes CC outclassed almost every other car there.
But in the next second, her brow suddenly furrowed. "Hey, whose Audi A6 is this?"
Following Zhang Xiaoran’s dramatic gasp, everyone turned to look at the Audi A6 parked beside them. The black sedan was the definition of understated luxury, its four interlinked silver rings giving it an extraordinary air. Although Li Mingjie’s and Zhang Xiaoran’s cars were nice, they looked slightly embarrassing next to this one. After all, a car like this cost at least seven hundred thousand yuan—over three hundred thousand more than her car.
"Holy crap! Which big shot owns this car? An A6!" the Zhang family members gasped. In their village, a car worth one hundred thousand yuan was already considered impressive, to say nothing of an Audi A6, a car only a top boss could afford. To them, it was the ultimate symbol of wealth.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoran gnashed her teeth in frustration. She was supposed to be the center of attention, but now someone had completely upstaged her.
"Whose car is this? Move it, now!" she roared, pointing at the A6. "This is private parking for the Zhang family! Outsiders are forbidden! If you don’t move it this instant, I’ll smash it!"
"Go on, then. Try smashing my car," a teasing voice suddenly cut in.
His words landed like a thunderclap. The Zhang family members whipped their heads toward the sound and saw that it was Qin Long who had spoken.
"What the hell? Is this car Qin Long’s?"
"How is that possible? That’s an Audi A6!"
"You damned cripple, would it kill you not to brag?" the crowd instantly sneered.
"Qin Long, you’re killing me," Zhang Xiaoran jeered, jabbing her chin toward him. "First you claim you bought a villa at Dragon King Manor, and now you’re saying this A6 is yours? If you can show us the key and open the door right now, I’ll kneel down and call you ’Grandpa’!"
The surrounding crowd erupted in laughter.
Qin Long, in contrast, remained perfectly calm. He slowly took the Audi key from Tang De’s hand.
In that instant, all the color drained from Zhang Xiaoran’s face.
Qin Long gently pressed a button on the key fob. As the Audi A6 let out a soft BEEP and its lights flashed, her jaw dropped in disbelief. A moment later, the engine started by itself, and the doors automatically swung open.
A dead silence fell over the entire area.
"It’s... it’s really his?"
"Damn it, Tang Xuewu’s family can actually afford an Audi A6?"
Everyone was utterly stunned.
With a mocking grin, Qin Long looked at Zhang Xiaoran. "Well? It’s time to make good on your promise."
"Call me ’Grandpa’."
At his words, Zhang Xiaoran’s face went dark. She wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. She had been utterly and completely humiliated. Her face burned as if she had just been viciously slapped.
"Qin Long, it was just a joke," she stammered. "How could you take it seriously?"
