Chapter 16: A Journey to Remember
Xiao Feng sat in the opulent living room of his villa, deep in thought. His mind wandered back to the memories of the previous owner of this body, particularly the aunt who had cared for him from childhood until he moved to Lingxi City for high school. Her kindness and support had been unwavering, and now he felt a strong urge to reconnect and express his gratitude.Determined to make the trip to visit her, Xiao Feng realized he needed a suitable mode of transportation. The journey to her city would be long, and he wanted to make it as comfortable and stylish as possible. A luxurious vehicle seemed appropriate for someone of his status.He set off for a renowned luxury car dealership in Haicheng. The dealership was known for its high-end vehicles and elite clientele. As he walked through the showroom's polished glass doors, he couldn't help but notice the dismissive glances from the sales staff. His attire, although respectable, was modest compared to the typical customers they were used to.Despite the chilly reception, a young saleswoman approached him with a warm smile. "Good afternoon, sir. How can I assist you today?" Her kindness stood in contrast to the indifference of her colleagues.Xiao Feng nodded appreciatively. "I'm in the market for a car. I need something reliable and stylish for a long journey."The saleswoman guided him to a sleek, high-end model—an elegant car that was known for its luxury and performance, though it was not the priciest option in the showroom. "This model is very popular among our clients. It combines luxury with advanced features," she explained, her enthusiasm evident.Before Xiao Feng could respond, a young woman burst into the showroom. Her gaze was immediately drawn to the car Xiao Feng was inspecting. "I want this one! How much extra will it cost to get it now?" she demanded, her tone laced with impatience.The saleswoman hesitated, clearly flustered by the sudden demand. "I'll check on that for you," she said, trying to maintain her composure.Just then, a young man entered, presumably the woman's boyfriend. His demeanor was arrogant as he took in the scene. "What's going on here? Are you causing trouble?" he sneered, casting a dismissive glance at Xiao Feng.The young woman's attention shifted between the car she desired and the saleswoman. Xiao Feng could sense the tension and decided to move on to another vehicle. He approached a car that was not only stunning but also one of the rarest in the world—a Bugatti La Voiture Noire. Its design was both sleek and imposing, and it was one of only a handful of such cars globally, with only two in China.The young couple followed, their curiosity piqued by Xiao Feng's interest in the rare model. The young man scoffed, "You think you can afford that? This car is way out of your league."Xiao Feng remained composed, his expression unreadable. "I'd like to purchase this car," he said calmly, addressing the saleswoman.The saleswoman's eyes widened in surprise. "This model is incredibly rare and extremely expensive. Are you sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.Without hesitation, Xiao Feng produced his card and handed it to her. "I'm quite sure," he replied with a hint of confidence.As the saleswoman processed the transaction, the young couple watched with growing astonishment. When the card was swiped, the sales staff's eyes widened in shock as they saw the balance—over one billion yuan. The reality of Xiao Feng's wealth quickly dawned on everyone in the showroom.The young couple's laughter and disdain evaporated, replaced by expressions of disbelief. The saleswoman, now visibly in awe, completed the paperwork as quickly as possible. Xiao Feng, unbothered by the commotion, signed the documents and received the keys to his new car.With the Bugatti La Voiture Noire now his, Xiao Feng left the dealership. The car's engine roared to life, its power and elegance a testament to its exclusivity. As he drove away, the astonished faces of the sales staff and the young couple lingered in his mind.The journey to his aunt's city would be a lengthy one, but the luxurious ride made it more enjoyable. Xiao Feng reflected on the significant role his aunt had played in his life. Her unwavering support during his formative years had left a lasting impact on him. This visit was not just about gratitude but also about reconnecting with a cherished part of his past.As he drove through the bustling streets of Haicheng, the city's skyline gradually gave way to the open roads leading to his destination. The Bugatti's smooth handling and advanced features made the journey comfortable, allowing Xiao Feng to relax and enjoy the ride.He envisioned the reunion with his aunt and the joy it would bring her. The car, a symbol of his success and appreciation, would be a fitting gesture. Xiao Feng looked forward to this new chapter in his journey, eager to make his aunt's day as special as she had made his own years ago.
