Chapter 747: I Only Want to Spend His Money Because I Love Him

According to Ying Chanxi's thoughts, although she had already agreed to Li Luo's offer to buy her another new car,

the car she had bought before would be handed entirely over to Lin Xiuhong to drive.

But Ying Chanxi actually had a small ulterior motive—she had originally planned to buy just one car costing one or two hundred thousand yuan.

She still held a frugal housekeeper's mindset, always wanting to save Li Luo money, prevent him from spending recklessly, even though this money was meant specifically for her.

This differed from the mindset of many other girls.

Some girls, once they had a boyfriend, might not even think about marriage, preferring to play the moral blackmail game of "If you spend money on me, that's how you prove you love me."

If someone asked them, "Do you love your boyfriend? If you do, why don't you spend money for him?" they'd reply, "I love him, so I'm happy to spend his money."

In the end, they had the last word on everything.

Ying Chanxi was the complete opposite type.

Deep down, she unconsciously longed to stay with Li Luo, to live with him, until they grew old together.

So she always preferred to think more long-term for the sake of their future.

She felt a certain aversion toward consumption lacking practical value.

When she heard Li Luo's demand—that they shouldn't even look at any car under five hundred thousand yuan—Ying Chanxi was stunned, and immediately felt pained about the money.

In this regard, it was probably because since Yan Ruqing's death, Lin Xiuhong had been taking care of Ying Chanxi.

Through constant exposure, she had absorbed a great deal of influence from Lin Xiuhong.

In terms of spending, Ying Chanxi was very much like Lin Xiuhong—so much so that calling them mother and daughter wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Stop always thinking about saving me these little amounts," Li Luo said, raising his hand to rub Ying Chanxi's head and pulling her into his arms. "We really aren't short on money—we can't even spend it all."

"Isn't earning money meant for a better life? If you can't learn to enjoy it, what's the point of me earning it?"

"Besides, five hundred thousand yuan isn't much. I've invested part of my money in the stock market, and in less than a year, I've already earned nearly two million in profit."

"That's just passive income—let alone my current royalty income, which starts at least one or two million yuan per month."

"If the channels pick up a bit, sometimes it's even more."

"Think about the future earnings from 'A Little Happiness,' the copyright fees from 'The Beginning,' and the ongoing revenue from Aunt Yuan's music albums—where would buying a few cars even come close to exhausting it?"

Li Luo said a lot, but Ying Chanxi caught only one key point, frowning as she asked, "When did you start secretly trading stocks?"

Li Luo: "..."

"Stock trading is very risky," Ying Chanxi said with obvious concern. "Don't get arrogant because you made money in the short term—you still need to be careful. And did you put in a lot of money to earn so much?"

Li Luo felt sweat breaking out, almost regretting bringing this up.

"Don't worry," Li Luo coughed and reassured her. "I only buy stocks tied to national development—not speculative ones. You don't need to worry about this; the total amount isn't much. At least over eighty percent of my income goes into fixed deposits and financial products."

"Chen Lu works at a bank—she can get me special deposit certificates with high interest rates."

"Right now, just pure savings alone are already around twenty million yuan."

Although Li Luo, as a Reborn, did know the future trajectories of many company stocks,

he still followed normal investment logic, putting only about twenty percent of his money into the stock market.

He hadn't lied to Ying Chanxi about this.

"Then be extra careful," Ying Chanxi still wasn't fully reassured, continuing to warn him. "I don't really understand this—I just know my dad secretly does it too, but sometimes he still loses money."

"Really?" Li Luo was surprised, but then thought about it—it made sense. For someone like Ying Zhicheng, an elite figure, secretly trading stocks was perfectly normal.

Fortunately, Ying Chanxi didn't dwell on the issue further; after giving a simple warning, she reluctantly accepted Li Luo's rule.

Fine, five hundred thousand yuan it is—she could just work harder when negotiating with the Douyin team, and earn that five hundred thousand back for Li Luo… That's what Ying Chanxi thought to herself.

Once she'd made peace with this, she stopped fussing over it and walked with Li Luo and the others into the auto park, first heading to a BMW 4S store.

On the way, Xu Youyu suddenly sidled up quietly beside Li Luo and whispered, "You're secretly trading stocks too?"

"Yeah, what about it?" Li Luo nodded.

"Cough… nothing." Xu Youyu shook his head, then hesitated and added, "I'll tell you more after we get back tonight—let's look at cars first."

Saying that, Xu Youyu walked ahead into the store.

Two sales assistants waited inside.

The slightly older female assistant glanced at Li Luo, then at the three girls beside him, raised an eyebrow slightly, and nudged the younger male salesperson: "You go."

Li Luo looked young, and the three girls beside him were quite pretty, but none of them wore branded clothing—they didn't look wealthy at all.

The female assistant had worked here five years; she'd seen it all and knew exactly which customers were more likely to close a deal, so she immediately ruled out Li Luo and his group.

"Okay," the male salesperson nodded lightly and stepped forward with a smile.

He was junior here; if the female assistant refused to serve a customer, he had to take over.

But he didn't look down on them—after all, the three girls were quite pleasant to look at, so he treated it like an eye exercise, smiling as he greeted Li Luo and the others:

"Hello, welcome to the BMW 4S store. I'm your sales consultant Xu Haoxuan—you can call me Xiao Xu. May I ask how I may address you all?"

"I'm Li," Li Luo nodded, then pointed to Xu Youyu beside him. "This is Miss Xu—she's here to look at BMWs. You can show her around."

"Understood," Xiao Xu nodded. "Will the others be coming along, or would you prefer to sit and rest at the tea table? We offer complimentary tea."

"We're all coming," Li Luo said. "Lead the way."

"No problem," Xiao Xu led them inside, then turned to Xu Youyu. "Miss Xu, do you have any specific BMW series in mind? Any preferences? What's your budget? I can recommend suitable models based on your needs."

"Do you have the 7 Series? I'd like to see that." Xu Youyu asked.

"Of course," Xiao Xu's heart leapt, though his smile remained. "Please follow me."

Honestly, when Xu Youyu said "7 Series," Xiao Xu had already lowered his expectations for this sale—but professional ethics kept him smiling and serving.

After all, even the cheapest 7 Series model cost at least eight or nine hundred thousand yuan on the road.

These young people before him, in every way, didn't look like they could afford it.

4S store salespeople were best at judging this—because if they were rich second-generation heirs, their clothing would give them away.

For those raised in luxury, expensive brands were worn like free clothes—so accustomed to them they didn't even notice. They'd never dress like Li Luo and his group, who wore nothing but ordinary clothes.

But their looks are so high that they stand out a bit.

But how much money they actually have is anyone's guess—they look like they came just to show off.

Fortunately, Xiao Xu had only just joined the store and was still worried about customer complaints, so he diligently introduced Xu Youyu to several BMW 7 Series models, taking her through each one.

Xu Youyu finally chose the 740li, got in for a test drive, and found the experience quite good.

"Hey, I feel great—what do you think?" Xu Youyu poked Li Luo's arm after getting out and whispered.

"Isn't the front end kind of ugly?" Li Luo couldn't help commenting, "Looks like two big nostrils staring at you."

"I'm sitting inside—I can't see those nostrils," Xu Youyu laughed. "The driving feel is really good—much better than my X3."

"But have you looked at the price difference?" Li Luo chuckled. "If you're buying, should we go for the most expensive one?"

"No need for that. For city driving, you don't need all-wheel drive," Xu Youyu shook her head. "The Prestige model is enough."

"Alright then." Li Luo nodded. "So you've decided? Not going to check out other dealers?"

"I came here specifically for BMW," Xu Youyu grinned. "As long as you don't mind spending, I won't hold back."

"Who are you underestimating?" Li Luo gave her butt a quick pat, then turned to Xiao Xu. "This Prestige model—can you get the contract?"

"Huh?" Xiao Xu froze, startled. "C-Contract?"

"The car purchase contract," Li Luo pointed at the Prestige BMW 740li they'd just test-driven and smiled. "We'll take this one."

Only then did Xiao Xu fully realize—his heart surged with joy, and he nodded rapidly. "Yes, yes! I'll get it right away! Please have a seat on the sofa over there—I'll be back soon!"

Xiao Xu first guided them to the sofa, then turned and headed toward the front desk.

At first he walked quickly, but once he was far enough from Li Luo and the others, he broke into a run, sprinting to the front desk, breathing slightly hard. "Give me a contract for the Prestige BMW 740li—I need to show it to the customer."

"Huh? Are they signing?" The female front desk clerk blinked, glancing toward the sofa. "Really?"

"Not confirmed yet," Xiao Xu instinctively stayed humble, still doubtful that Li Luo and the others would actually buy. He dared not jump to conclusions.

What if they were just curious and didn't sign? If he boasted now and they backed out, it'd look terrible.

"Here you go," the front desk clerk handed him the contract.

Xiao Xu took it and hurried back toward the sofa.

At that moment, the female salesperson from the entrance also approached. Seeing Xiao Xu leave with a contract, she asked the front desk clerk in surprise: "Is he signing?"

"Looks like it."

"Really?"

"I don't know," the front desk clerk said. "Didn't you try to grab the customer?"

"I… I saw he was new, so I let him have it," the female salesperson's face darkened. She frowned, then asked, "What model's the contract for?"

"BMW 7 Series—Prestige model. A car worth over a million," the front desk clerk said enviously. "If this closes, his commission alone will be several thousand."

Hearing this, the female salesperson's expression changed instantly. She fell silent and quietly edged closer, standing near the sofa to eavesdrop.

Though she'd occasionally lost sales before, these four young people didn't look like they had money to buy a car.

"Mr. Li, Miss Xu, you can take a look," Xiao Xu handed them the contract and began explaining the clauses. "Here's the model, specs, color, and base price."

"These middle sections are gifts our dealership can offer."

"At the bottom are optional features—all the interior enhancements you've already experienced. Consider adding any you liked."

Li Luo glanced once, then handed his pen to Xu Youyu. "You decide—pick whatever you like."

"Okay," Xu Youyu didn't hesitate, checked a few options she liked, and finished.

"Do you have this car in stock?" Li Luo asked.

"We only have this one for display. For in-stock vehicles, we'd need to transfer one from another dealership," Xiao Xu replied quickly.

"If we sign now, how long until we can pick it up?"

"One or two days!" Xiao Xu immediately assured. "Transferring within the city is fast! You can count on it."

"Alright." Li Luo nodded. "Sign it now. Have the car delivered in the next two days—we'll come get it."

Xiao Xu froze, watching Li Luo sign the contract, still dazed.

Only when he escorted Li Luo to the front desk to pay the deposit did he suddenly feel overwhelming joy—his excitement barely hidden.

Nearby, the female salesperson's face darkened, helplessly watching Xiao Xu close the deal without a chance to intervene.

That several-thousand-yuan commission slipped through her fingers—she was furious and regretful.

After paying the deposit, Li Luo took their copy of the contract, shoved it into Xu Youyu's arms, greeted Xiao Xu, and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Li, are you leaving?" Xiao Xu hurried after them. "Shall I take you to the parking lot?"

"No, we're going to…" Li Luo turned to Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng. "Where else are you going?"

"Mercedes-Benz," Yan Zhusheng said. "My senior recommended it."

"Oh, then Mercedes-Benz." Li Luo turned to Xiao Xu. "Where's the Mercedes-Benz dealership?"

"Mercedes-Benz? Please follow me!" Xiao Xu hurried them toward another exit, even walking them all the way outside, escorting them to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store before finally stopping.

He bowed respectfully. "This is the Mercedes-Benz dealership, Mr. Li. If you have any further questions, feel free to call me anytime. Wishing you a pleasant car-buying experience."

"Mm, thank you," Li Luo gave a slight nod. "You can go back now."

With that, he led Ying Chanxi and the two other women into the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

A female salesperson inside noticed this, recognizing Xiao Xu from his badge as a BMW salesperson.

The Mercedes-Benz dealership was two car dealerships away from BMW's—yet he'd escorted them all the way here. This customer must be special…

Then, as the four entered,

the female salesperson sharply noticed Xu Youyu holding a contract—her eyes lit up. She rushed forward with a warm, eager smile.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li, salesperson at the Mercedes-Benz 4S store. May I ask your names?"
