The girl mentioned her brother was coming to pick her up, and Zhu Bo paused.
"I say, Du Yunyun, Zhu Bo's family owns a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a luxury car worth over a million. Not many families in City No. 1 High School can afford it. Zhu Bo invited you for a ride, and you're refusing?"
"Exactly, what kind of car can your brother drive to pick you up? A Wuling Hongguang? Or an Alto? Those cars can't even see the taillights of a Mercedes."
Although Zhu Bo remained silent, Chen Zihao and Zhang Haowen proactively spoke up for him, one after the other.
With two supporters speaking for him, Zhu Bo was delighted to watch the scene unfold from the sidelines.
"Oh dear, if you two keep talking about Du Yunyun, she'll get angry. She became the top student in our class as soon as she arrived, and the teachers dote on her. If she reports you to the teacher, you'll be in trouble."
Zhu Bo's tone was laced with sarcasm that anyone could detect.
Chen Zihao, the one with glasses, scoffed, "Hmph, go ahead and report us if you want. We're not afraid!"
Du Yunyun listened to these guys back and forth and trembled with anger.
These people, just because she was from the countryside and her previous attire was a bit plain, thought she wasn't worthy of attending City No. 1 High School.
Later, when Du Yunyun participated in a mock exam and scored first place in the class and top ten in the entire school, these individuals didn't back down. Instead, they labeled her a bookworm who only knew how to study diligently.
"Wow, what a beautiful car."
"It's a Mercedes, and the top-of-the-line S-Class. Luxury cars are truly luxurious; they look high-class at first glance."
"Of course. I wish I could sit in such a magnificent and grand car just once. It must be incredibly opulent inside."
As a black Mercedes pulled up to the school gate, the surrounding students began to chatter.
This was City No. 1 High School, after all. Apart from their excellent academic achievements, many students here came from affluent families and most of them owned cars.
However, luxury sedans like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class were quite rare.
Therefore, when a luxurious Mercedes-Benz S-Class appeared before their eyes, the students were naturally exclaiming in amazement.
Under the gaze of many, Zhu Bo walked over and opened the car door.
"Chen Zihao, Zhang Haowen, get in."
Zhu Bo commanded like a superior officer, and the two individuals who were called rushed over immediately.
After getting into the car, they looked excited and began touching and pressing various parts inside.
Zhu Bo felt a bit annoyed by their actions.
However, with so many classmates watching, Zhu Bo naturally couldn't appear petty.
"Son, why aren't you getting in yet?"
A businessman in a suit and tie, wearing a gold watch, rolled down the driver's side window.
Zhu Bo replied, "Dad, this is the female classmate I told you about. Her family is quite struggling, so I wanted to give her a ride."
"Oh, since she's your classmate, then bring her along,"
The driver was Zhu Bo's father, Zhu Fulai. Hearing Zhu Bo's words, he nodded and then rolled up the window again.
In fact, Zhu Fulai shared a similar personality with Zhu Bo; he was also someone who enjoyed showing off and being in the spotlight.
Since buying this new car, he had already flaunted it on various occasions.
While Zhu Fulai wouldn't be so childish as to show off in front of high school students, if he could let his son bask in the glory, he would also feel proud.
"Zhu Bo! I told you, I'm going home in my brother's car later. Stay away from me!"
Zhu Bo reached out to pull Du Yunyun, but she slapped his hand away and said to him with a cold face.
Zhang Haowen said from the back seat, "Du Yunyun, Zhu Bo is kindly offering you a ride in a luxury car, and you're not accepting. Zhu Bo, why don't we just leave? Let her wait for her brother's clunker Alto."
Zhu Bo had only been putting on a show earlier, and his main intention was to ridicule Du Yunyun.
At this point, his objective had been achieved. So, Zhu Bo reached out and opened the passenger door, intending to get in and leave.
"Another Mercedes sedan? This one looks even more luxurious than Zhu Bo's family's."
Someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Soon, the car drove closer to the school entrance.
"Huh, this car is also a Mercedes, and it looks even more luxurious. There seems to be a difference from Zhu Bo's family's car."
The appearance of a second Mercedes naturally drew everyone's attention again.
Especially the second Mercedes, which seemed to be even more beautiful and high-class than the first.
"You wouldn't know this, but this car is indeed more luxurious than Zhu Bo's family's Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This is a Maybach S-Class, a higher-end model than the regular S-Class."
"From what I understand, the cheapest Maybach S-Class costs over 1.5 million yuan, while Zhu Bo's Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the base model, costing only a little over 800,000 yuan."
A student who knew about cars immediately began to educate the surrounding classmates.
It turned out that two cars that looked similar had so many differences, and the price difference was almost double. This was astonishing.
"Brother!"
What surprised everyone even more was when the second Mercedes sedan's door opened, and Du Yunyun, who had been furious moments ago, immediately walked towards the young man stepping out of the car and called him "Brother."
The person who arrived was Du Fei. He had just received the car from the driver and immediately drove over to pick up Du Yunyun after school.
Seeing Du Yunyun's excited expression, Du Fei also smiled.
"Wow! This Maybach S-Class Mercedes belongs to Du Yunyun's family. This is unbelievable!"
"Sigh, Zhu Bo, who looked down on Du Yunyun all along, saying she was from the countryside and her family was struggling, has been proven wrong now."
"Exactly. Du Yunyun is not only a good student, but her brother also drives such a luxurious car. She's practically a winner in life."
"Compared to Du Yunyun's low-key demeanor, Zhu Bo acts as if he wants to write 'My family is rich' on his forehead, as if afraid people won't know."
If the students had shown expressions of envy and jealousy at Zhu Bo's family's Mercedes-Benz S-Class just moments ago, then now, when Du Fei arrived in an even more luxurious Maybach S-Class Mercedes to pick up Du Yunyun, it immediately caused many students to start criticizing Zhu Bo.
This was all because Zhu Bo had been too ostentatious in the past, which had displeased many people. Now, they finally found an opportunity to vent their frustrations.
At this moment, Zhu Bo, who had already opened the passenger door and was about to get into the car, turned pale with embarrassment, wishing he could dig a hole and disappear into it.
Why!
Why was Du Yunyun's brother driving a luxury car that was even more upscale than his own family's car, and even twice its price?
Furthermore, he had just, in front of so many people, claimed that Du Yunyun's family was struggling and offered to give her a ride in their car.
Who would have thought that Du Yunyun's family car was far more luxurious than their Mercedes-Benz S-Class?
Recalling this, Zhu Bo felt like slapping himself. Why had he said those words earlier? They had now become the source of his embarrassment.
