Layla nodded as well; the previous experience was too surreal, and she needed to go back and digest it.
“My car is also in the underground parking lot; let’s go together.”
Since Jacob didn’t directly answer his question, Ryan assumed Josie was joking.
After all, two bracelets cost over 110,000, and Jacob didn’t seem like the type who could pull out that kind of money! Especially since Josie’s reasoning was absurd, saying Jacob gave the bracelets as a return gift, but the children’s clothing that Layla and Josie bought only cost around 1,000. It would be more plausible if he bought two bottles of perfume as a return gift.
The group took the elevator down to the underground parking lot, and Ryan proactively said, “Layla, Josie, how about I give you a ride?”
“Mr. Jacob is picking up his child, so don’t waste his time.”
As he spoke, this little brother, who was a bit arrogant, took out a car key with four rings from his pocket and lightly pressed the unlock button. A nearby Audi A4L’s lights flashed twice.
Ryan’s Audi A4L was a 2013 model that he bought for 80,000 as a second-hand car. He could usually impress those who only recognized car brands but didn’t know much about cars, as the four rings still held some prestige in the eyes of ordinary people.
“No need, we’ll just ride with Mr. Jacob.”
Josie decisively refused. Why would she take a ride in a second-hand Audi when she could ride in a luxury car worth millions? What was she thinking? “Alright, Mr. Jacob, where’s your car parked?”
As he asked, Ryan’s gaze instinctively scanned the underground parking lot, and then he spotted a powerful-looking Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class parked not far away. His pupils slightly constricted, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, someone really bought that car!”
“Buying a Mercedes-Benz for over a million? They must be out of their minds!!”
“Brother Ryan, you can’t say that. It’s already 2025; the Moh Dynasty has been gone for over a hundred years; we should be more confident!”
Jacob patted Ryan on the shoulder. Although this little brother was young, his thoughts seemed a bit out of sync with the times.
The era when foreign moons were rounder than domestic ones has long passed. The overall improvement in national quality and the arrival of the short video era have shattered the filters that public intellectuals and rebels have maintained for years, portraying foreign lands as paradise.
Even though foreign countries still lead in many fields, we should not belittle ourselves or deny our own progress and strength.
“Mr. Jacob, you might not recognize that car; that’s a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, which costs over 1.2 million when it hits the road!”
“Although domestic cars have improved a lot in recent years, a Mercedes-Benz costing over a million is just ridiculous. The problem is, there are really people who buy it!”
“Isn’t that just pure foolishness?”
Beep!
As Ryan was passionately complaining, he saw Jacob quietly pull out a car key.
In the next second, the matrix headlights of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class lit up.
“You…”
“This???”
Ryan was completely stunned, staring blankly at Jacob, his eyes filled with shock.
“I am the foolish one you mentioned!”
Jacob smiled, then waved his hand at Ryan: “Brother Ryan, see you later.”
After saying that, he walked straight to the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat.
“Ryan, you’re too impulsive. You should learn to be more low-key like Mr. Jacob in the future.”
Josie seized the opportunity to add a jab, then sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class with Layla.
Ryan stood there, dazed for a long time before coming back to his senses.
So he had been showing off in front of a big shot driving a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class all afternoon!
Now that he thought about his series of actions, he felt so embarrassed he wished he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Although he had mocked those who spent over a million on a Mercedes-Benz as fools, he couldn’t deny that such people were indeed wealthy, as spending over a million on a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class was likely just for fun.
Looking at it this way, it seemed that Mr. Jacob really did buy two bracelets in one go!
Damn!
Clearly a rich man, yet he claimed to be a food delivery guy!
Could it be that he delivers food while driving a Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class??
Ryan was frantically complaining in his heart.
He had been cautiously and carefully trying to show off all afternoon, wanting to create an effect of invisible superiority.
In the end, the person he treated as a backdrop turned out to be the real king of showing off!
At the kindergarten gate.
