Chapter 786: Porsche Panamera
Evening.
North Third Ring Cars Market.
It’s late after settling the paperwork for Xie Jing and Xie Ran’s A8L. But they did not leave for dinner and continued to shop around.
Suddenly, Xie Jing’s phone rang.
“h.e.l.lo, Mum.” Xie Jing answered.
Ministry of Civil Affairs Deputy Minister Xia Yanzhen asked. “Are you coming back?”
“No. I am not going back for dinner. I am at the Cars Market with Sis.”
“Why are you there? Are you going to buy a car? I will transfer money to you and Xiao Ran.”
Xie Jing replied. “I need to tell you something. Err….” She walked aside. “Brother Dong and Sis gave my brother and me a car each.”
Xia Yanzhen asked. “Which car?”
Xie Jing replied. “Audi A8L.”
“You all accepted A8?!”
“Brother Dong had paid for them, and we tried to refuse it.”
“Do you know that car cost almost one million? I am only driving an A6.”
“Then what should I do?”
“You should know your Sis and Brother Dong well. They are stubborn and will not take back whatever they give out. Alright. Pa.s.s the phone to Huilan…. no. Pa.s.s it to Xiao Bing. Let me talk to him.”
Xie Jing quickly gave her phone to Dong Xuebing. “Brother-in-law, it’s my Mum.”
Xia Yanzhen smiled. “How can you two buy cars for Xiao Jing and Xiao Ran? Moreover, those are expensive cars.”
“Ah, it’s alright. Eldest Aunt. It’s just a gift, and we paid for it. We can’t get refunds now.”
“Sigh…. I can only thank you.”
“It’s a small matter. Don’t mention it.”
“Come over to my place when you are free. I will make dinner for you and Huilan.”
“Sure. We will visit you another day.”
Dong Xuebing returns the phone to Xie Jing after hanging up.
Xie Ran said. “Thanks, Brother-in-law.”
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Stop it. Have you all counted how many times you have all thanked me? Let’s go to the Land Rover showroom. Your Sis needs a car.”
Xie Hao shouted. “Sis, let me choose one for you!”
Xie Huilan laughed. “Sure. I want to see how good are you.”
Xie Hao ran forward and entered the Land Rover showroom.
This showroom was less crowded than Audi because it was almost dinnertime, and these cars were more expensive. When Dong Xuebing, Xie Huilan, and the rest reached the showroom, Xie Hao had picked one of them. He starts to introduce the car excitedly.
“This one! This one!” Xie Hao shouted. “This is the latest model Land Rover Range Rover. It’s so beautiful.”
Xie Huilan nodded. “Haha…. Not bad.”
Dong Xuebing looks at her. “Are you sure you like this? Men mostly drive these SUV vehicles.”
Xie Huilan glanced at him. “All cars are to be driven, and the driver’s gender has nothing to do with it. Are you discriminating against women?”
“What are you talking about?” Dong Xuebing smacked his lips. “I don’t mean that.”
Xie Huilan laughed and went closer to look at the Range Rover. “I don’t know much about Land Rover’s vehicles. How much does this cost?”
The salesperson quickly stepped forward to introduce herself, but Xie Hao was faster. “The price has a wide range. The cheapest version is around 1.7 million, and the best version, which is also the one I recommend, is 3.3 million. Overall, it will not cost more than 4 million.”
Dong Xuebing interrupts. “This car does not suit your Sis.”
Xie Huilan points at Dong Xuebing in front of her brothers and sister. “Look at your stingy Brother-in-law. He heard the price and refused to get it for me. This is different from what he said over the phone. He said he will buy whichever car I want.”
Everyone laughed.
Dong Xuebing gave Xie Huilan a stare. “Must you criticize me every day? Who says I am not willing to spend money? I find this car is too big for you. Never mind. You will never listen to what I say anyway. Buy it if you like it. Hmph! Don’t regret it in the future.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “I like this car. But I don’t need to get the best version. The standard version is good enough.”
“No. If we are getting it, we must get the best.” Dong Xuebing looks at the salesperson. “Give us this car. I want the best version. The V8SC model.”
Dong Xuebing spent almost 4 million in an instant.
Xie Ran and Xie Jing smiled to themselves.
Dong Xuebing changed his perception of this car after Xie Huilan got in to test drive it. Who says Land Rover is more suitable to be driven by men? Xie Huilan looks good in it, and it suits an overbearing woman like her.
Xie Huilan smiled and nodded after her test drive. “Not bad.”
After settling the paperwork and payment, they continue shopping.
They arrived at the Porsche showroom a while later.
Xie Hao laughed. “Brother-in-law, you drove Cayenne previous, and I think you should get another Porsche.” He recommended a few models to Dong Xuebing.
Most Porsche cars are two-doors sports cars, and the interior s.p.a.ce is too small. If Dong Xuebing has to fetch or send people, the pa.s.senger sits beside him. This made him uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing noticed a black Porsche.
Other than Cayenne, this is the only five-seater sports car. The body is streamlined and doesn’t look like the typical sportscars. Dong Xuebing likes the exterior color and shape. This car is Porsche Panamera, the most expensive model in the showroom. The top edition cost more than three million, about the same price as Xie Huilan’s Range Rover. Both are top-tier luxury cars.
Dong Xuebing looked at the exterior and the fittings inside and waved his hand. “This one!”
The salesperson asked. “Which edition do you want?”
“The best edition. Black color.”
Another car cost almost four million.
Xie Hao exclaimed after Dong Xuebing bought the car. “Sis, Brother-in-law, you two had just spent almost ten million in a few hours. But I feel both of you should exchange cars. My Sis should drive the Panamera, and you should drive the Range Rover.”
Xie Huilan laughed. “We can exchange cars in the future.”
Xie Hao replied. “The three of us can drive each other’s cars.”
“Wait after you graduate first.”
