Qin Shi blushed deeply, lowered her head, and nervously fiddled with the hem of her clothes, her voice barely audible: "I'm so sorry, Su Chang! Look at me... it's all a misunderstanding!"
Su Chang waved casually, a faint smile appearing on her face, and said, "It's alright, let's talk about our business after we've dealt with the car issue."
Qin Shi lowered her head even further, wishing she could disappear into the ground. She stole a few glances at Su Chang, inwardly groaning, "Oh dear, how embarrassing! I've made such a huge blunder! Did Su Chang accept the news that she's unmarried?" She stood to the side like a child who had done something wrong, not saying a word, only occasionally glancing at Su Chang out of the corner of her eye, her heart filled with unease.

Su Chang had already noticed Qin Shi's furtive glances, but he pretended not to see them, secretly gloating to himself: "Hehe, I really hit the jackpot this time!"
He then silently said in his mind, "System, sign in!"
"Ding! The host has been detected with Qin Shi and Yang Hua, the main characters of 'The 28 Laws of Love'. Congratulations to the host for receiving the following reward: Beauty Pills x10 and 1000 million in cash."
Su Chang was overjoyed when he saw the reward he received. The ten million in cash was nothing to him, but this beauty pill was a real lifesaver!
Six of the beauty pills he had drawn earlier had already been used up by Li Meng, Yang Tao, Xu Li, Andy, Xu Hongdou, and Chen Nanxing. Now that he had ten more, he could finally relax.
…
Not long after, Yang Hua returned, his face full of provocation and his eyes revealing a hint of disdain. He crossed his arms and looked at Su Chang, saying, "You brat, I've already called the police. I advise you to just take the tens of thousands of yuan and leave, otherwise when the police come, I'll sue you for extortion."
Su Chang, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent. He shrugged, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's fine. We'll just wait for the police to come. Sue me however you want. Anyway, I've said it before, all I want is a brand new car that looks exactly the same." He was full of confidence.
"Fine, you're so arrogant. I'll see if you can still be so cocky when the police come," Yang Hua sneered, his voice laced with disdain.
"Fine, then we'll just wait." Su Chang curled his lip in disdain, leaning back slightly against the car, looking completely at ease.
Qin Shi, standing nearby, wanted to remind Yang Hua, but after seeing Su Chang's confident expression, she immediately gave up. She knew what was more important. So, she chose to remain silent and stand quietly to the side, observing how things would develop.
About ten minutes later, the traffic police and the insurance company personnel arrived at the scene one after the other. However, when they saw the Little Swan car, everyone was stunned. After all, they dealt with cars all year round. Although they had never seen it before, they knew exactly what the Little Swan was.
The traffic police officer then asked, "Who called the police?"
“It’s me.” Yang Hua glanced at Su Chang provocatively, then walked over and said loudly.
The traffic police officer asked cautiously, "Hello sir, may I ask which vehicle you own?"
Yang Hua pointed to his Audi Q7 and said, "What do you think? I own that Q7. Otherwise, would I be driving a modified old man's car?"
The traffic policeman thought to himself, "You country bumpkin, even though that car isn't as valuable as your Q7, the problem is you can't buy this little swan even if you wanted to."
The traffic police officer then said, "So you're the one who crashed into this Aston Martin Swan?"
Chapter 220 Purchase Methods
"What Aston Martin? It's just a modified old man's car. When have you ever seen Aston Martin make an old man's car? They make sports cars." Yang Hua said with a disdainful sneer.
The traffic police were speechless. Where did this bumpkin come from? Not only was he ignorant, but he was also so arrogant. At this moment, the insurance company staff who had taken the photos came over and said to Yang Hua, "Mr. Yang Hua, what are the demands of the owner of this Aston Martin Swan? The two taillights are broken, and the rear bumper also needs to be replaced... The car needs to be sent back to the factory for repairs, and I estimate the cost will be around 100,000 yuan."
"How much? One hundred thousand? This really is an Aston Martin?" Yang Hua was shocked when he heard the number quoted by the insurance company staff. He didn't expect that accidentally bumping into such a beat-up car would cost him one hundred thousand.
The insurance company employee nodded and said with certainty, "Yes, Mr. Yang Hua."
Su Chang coughed twice and interjected, "Um... this is a new car, I don't want it repaired, I need to be compensated with a new one."
Yang Hua felt utterly humiliated and just wanted to resolve the situation quickly and get his men out of there. So, with an impatient expression, he said, "Five hundred thousand it is. Can I transfer the money to you now?"
Su Chang waved his hand and reminded him again, "I don't want money, I want a new car."
Immediately, the traffic police and insurance company staff looked at Yang Hua and Su Chang with strange expressions. Just as the traffic police were about to remind Yang Hua, Yang Hua said impatiently, "Fine, I'll go with you to the Aston Martin 4S store to buy it now, okay?"
Su Chang said nonchalantly, "Of course, no problem, as long as you compensate me for a new car."
"Fine, we'll go after we've dealt with this place." Yang Hua glared at Su Chang, then said through gritted teeth.
"Let's go, let's take a taxi to the Aston Martin 4S store now." Yang Hua said, staring fiercely at Su Chang, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Su Chang waved to the distance, and then a Rolls-Royce Cullinan drove up and stopped in front of the three of them.
Su Chang casually said, "No need to take a taxi, just get in my car." He had a faint smile on his face, as if responding to Yang Hua's earlier sarcasm that he was a poor boy.
Then Su Chang pulled Qin Shi to the back row. Since Yang Hua was still there, Qin Shi reluctantly let Su Chang hold her hand.
When Yang Hua saw the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, he immediately gritted his teeth and cursed Su Chang in his heart. "You're a landlord, what are you pretending to be a peasant for!"
He muttered to himself, a resentful expression on his face. Thinking back to how he had mocked others for not being as rich as him, he now wished he could disappear into the ground; the slap in the face really stung. He had no choice but to steel himself and get into the passenger seat, trying his best to appear natural.
"Boss, where are we going?" Guan Xiaodi asked Su Chang in the back row. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.
"To the Aston Martin 4S store," Su Chang replied casually, his gaze fixed on the scenery outside the window, seemingly not paying any attention to Yang Hua.
"Okay, BOSS." Guan Xiaodi agreed and started the car, driving towards the Aston Martin 4S store.
Yang Hua was stunned when he saw Guan Xiaodi. He hadn't expected that Su Chang's driver would be such a beautiful woman. Her skin, though wheat-colored, was exceptionally smooth, her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. A strong desire welled up in Yang Hua's heart. He found that Guan Xiaodi not only looked just as good as Qin Shi, but was also much younger.
"Hello! Beautiful lady, my name is Yang Hua. Can we get to know each other?" Yang Hua straightened her clothes, then looked at Guan Xiaodi with a fawning expression, her smile almost overflowing and her eyes full of expectation.
Guan Xiaodi didn't even glance at him, her eyes still fixed on the road ahead. Her expression was as cold as frost, as if Yang Hua was nothing more than air to her.
She muttered to herself, "Another arrogant guy. He thinks he can hit on me with his weakling-like self?"
Although Guan Xiaodi ignored him, Yang Hua was not angry. He cleared his throat and continued, "Beautiful lady, I work in finance and have assets of about ten or twenty million. My family is a local of Shanghai and owns two houses there. How about we get to know each other?" His voice carried a hint of pride, and he deliberately puffed out his chest, trying to show off his strength.
Guan Xiaodi finally turned her head, glanced at Yang Hua, then curled her lip in disdain and uttered two words: "Trash!" Her eyes were full of contempt, as if she were looking at an insignificant little person.
Guan Xiaodi is a genuine second-generation rich kid with family assets worth over a billion. Yang Hua's meager assets are nothing to her. Moreover, Guan Xiaodi only likes people who are stronger than herself. How could she possibly be interested in Yang Hua, a weakling who can't lift a finger?
Yang Hua's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected that even a driver would look down on him. His heart was filled with anger and resentment. He gritted his teeth, angrily turned his head to the side, and looked out the window. He secretly vowed to himself that he would make this woman look at him with new respect.
Su Chang and Qin Shi, sitting in the back row, witnessed the whole thing. Upon hearing Guan Xiaodi's reply, they both tried to suppress their laughter.
Su Chang thought to herself, "This Yang Hua is too presumptuous. He actually dares to flaunt his assets in front of Guan Xiaodi. It's ridiculous."
Qin Shi secretly rejoiced, thankful that she hadn't entered into a fake marriage with Yang Hua, otherwise she would have been embarrassed along with him.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Aston Martin. A female receptionist in uniform immediately opened the back door. Su Chang led Qin Shi out, while Yang Hua pouted, somewhat dissatisfied, but still opened the door and got out herself.
Upon seeing Qin Shi, the female receptionist took a half-step back and politely asked Su Chang with a smile, "Welcome, sir and madam, to the Aston Martin 4S store in Shanghai. Do you have an appointment?"
Yang Hua was really frustrated. Why did everyone keep asking Su Chang? It was his turn to buy the car! So he said impatiently, "We're here to buy a car. What do we need an appointment for?" His voice was tinged with anger, and he glared at the female receptionist.
Hearing Yang Hua's impolite words, the female receptionist's face stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her polite smile. She bowed slightly and asked in a gentle tone, "Okay, sir, which car would you like to buy?"
Yang Hua was somewhat surprised to see the receptionist's appearance, but he still said with a disdainful look, "Little Swan, it's that one that looks like an old man's electric scooter..."
The receptionist was stunned by Yang Hua's answer, a hint of doubt and surprise flashing in her eyes. But she quickly regained her smile and said in a gentler tone, "Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Are you sure you meant Little Swan?"
Yang Hua glared impatiently at the female receptionist, his brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "Why is this woman so long-winded!"
He raised his voice, somewhat angrily saying, "Yes, it's the Little Swan. What? You don't have such a beat-up car here?"
The receptionist's face instantly darkened, her eyes filled with disdain and displeasure. Suppressing her anger, she coldly said, "I'm sorry, sir, Aston Martin only makes luxury cars, and the 'Little Swan' you mentioned isn't some beat-up car. I'm just very sorry, sir, but I'd like to ask if you've ever bought a sports car from us before?"
Yang Hua was stunned; he hadn't expected a salesperson to be so assertive. His face flushed red, and he was filled with anger and embarrassment.
He glared at the female receptionist, raised his voice eight octaves, and said, "I've never bought one before. Do I have to buy your sports car before I can buy a Swan?"
The receptionist's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile. Her eyes were filled with disdain, as if she were looking at an ignorant bumpkin.
She took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm, and said, "Sir, it's not that you need to buy our sports car before you can buy a Little Swan, but rather that you need to buy our ONE77 before you can buy our sports car, and..."
“Why would I buy the ONE77? I won’t buy the ONE77, I’ll only buy the Little Swan.” Yang Hua angrily interrupted the female receptionist, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembling slightly.
The female receptionist glanced at Yang Hua with disdain, then said calmly, "But sir, the Little Swan is not sold separately. It's a free gift with the purchase of an ONE77, so if you want the Little Swan, you need to buy an ONE77 first."
Yang Hua's face froze upon hearing the receptionist's words, and he asked incredulously, "What did you say? That little swan is a free gift, not sold separately?"
The receptionist nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Yes, sir."
Then Yang Hua turned around and glared angrily at Su Chang, who was watching the drama unfold with amusement, and roared, "So you knew beforehand, right? You deliberately came to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"
Su Chang shrugged, acting as if it had nothing to do with him, and said, "No, I already told you that my car is new, and today is the first time I've driven it. So all I need is for you to compensate me with a brand new car exactly the same, and you've already agreed to that." Then Su Chang took out the compensation agreement that the two of them had agreed on earlier from his pocket and waved it in front of Yang Hua.
Yang Hua was completely flustered. Only now did he realize why the traffic policeman had looked so hesitant. And now that he had already signed the papers, he had no choice but to pay compensation. The problem was that he really couldn't afford to buy a new car.
Yang Hua glared fiercely at Su Chang with gritted teeth, but Su Chang glared back without backing down. At this moment, Guan Xiaodi slowly walked between Yang Hua and Su Chang, fearing that Yang Hua might suddenly attack someone.
Chapter 221 The Reason for the Fake Marriage
After pondering for a long time, Yang Hua's gaze shifted between Su Chang and Guan Xiaodi, inwardly groaning. He knew he had suffered a major setback today, so he slowly lowered his once proud head, and with a hint of resentment and humiliation, said to Su Chang, "Mr. Su, just tell me, what do you want me to do for you to forgive me?"
Su Chang curled her lips slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said, "Didn't I already say? Just buy me a new car. Aren't you a rich second-generation? Aren't you rich enough? Just buy it."
Although Yang Hua was burning with anger, he understood that circumstances were beyond his control. He suppressed his rage, forcing a sincere expression, and bowed deeply to Su Chang, saying humbly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. I was blind to your greatness before. Please forgive me this time. I'll fix your car and give you an additional 500,000 yuan. Is that alright?"
Women are always more easily moved to pity, and Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for Yang Hua when she saw his obsequious demeanor. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to Su Chang, her eyes revealing a hope that he would let Yang Hua go. Guan Xiaodi herself, too, relaxed her guard slightly because of Yang Hua's attitude.
Su Chang frowned deeply, his gaze fixed sharply on Yang Hua, as if trying to see through his appearance to his heart. He thought to himself, "This guy is so flexible; such a person is very dangerous. If he dared to fight me today, I wouldn't care about him. But the way he is now, he's like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to bite me at any moment."
Su Chang knew all too well that a barking dog doesn't bite, and a barking dog doesn't bite. He decided he couldn't give Yang Hua any chance; he had to finish him off to avoid future trouble. Although he wasn't afraid himself, this kind of person was like a toad on his foot—it didn't bite, but it was still annoying. However, with Qin Shi present, he couldn't be too aggressive, lest he leave a bad impression on Qin Shi.
A cold glint flashed in Su Chang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. In the end, he sighed and said helplessly, "Alright, just fix my car. You don't need to pay for it. Just don't look down on people in the future."
Yang Hua breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed again to express his gratitude: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Su. You are so magnanimous. I will definitely learn from this lesson and never make the same mistake again."
Su Chang waved casually, seemingly unconcerned about Yang Hua's thanks. He turned and led Qin Shi into the car, with Guan Xiaodi following immediately.
Yang Hua stood there, watching the car drive away, a barely perceptible hint of resentment and unwillingness flashing in his eyes. He silently vowed that one day he would make Su Chang pay for what he had done today, and then he left as well.
Guan Xiaodi drove straight to Joyful Ode and the two of them, and they went up to the 23rd floor together.
"Qin Shi, please sit on the sofa for a bit. Just tell Xiao Di what you'd like to drink or eat. I'll call Lucy and have her come up to talk to you in person." As soon as he entered the living room, Su Chang said to Qin Shi, a gentle smile on his face and concern in his tone.
On the way, Su Chang briefly told Qin Shi about Fang Zhiheng's situation. Qin Shi also felt very sorry for Fang Zhiheng and hated Li Xun, so he quickly nodded and agreed, "Okay, Mr. Su, you go and contact Lucy first. I'll rest on the sofa for a bit." Qin Shi gently sat on the sofa, leaning forward slightly.
Su Chang smiled and nodded, then gestured for Guan Xiaodi to take care of Qin Shi before walking straight into her room.
After entering the room, Su Chang closed the door behind her and then dialed Fang Zhiheng's number.
The phone was answered after only two rings, and Fang Zhiheng's anxious voice came from the other end: "Su Chang, is there any news about me?"
Fang Zhiheng's voice revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation. She gripped her phone tightly, her eyes fixed ahead, as if waiting for Su Chang's reply.
Su Chang didn't hide anything and said directly, "I have some news, but I'm still having people continue to investigate. I've found a lawyer to help you. Do you have time now? Come to my house; the lawyer is here."
Fang Zhiheng glanced at Jin Baorui sitting opposite her with a troubled expression. Jin Baorui seemed to sense Fang Zhiheng's predicament, put down his coffee, and said, "Go ahead and do what you need to do. I can take you there." Jin Baorui had an understanding and supportive smile on his face. He gently patted Fang Zhiheng's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
Fang Zhiheng thought for a moment, nodded to Jin Baorui, and then said into the phone, "Su Chang, I'm outside now, I should be there in about half an hour, is that alright?" There was a hint of urgency in her voice.
Su Chang heard Jin Baorui's voice, so she said nonchalantly, "Okay, we'll wait for you at my house."
"Okay," Fang Zhiheng replied and hung up the phone.
Su Chang looked at the phone that had just been hung up, pursed his lips, and then dialed Zheng Fangxiu's number again. His expression turned serious, and his eyes revealed a firm determination.
