Despite that, they were still close childhood friends. Even if they hadn’t met each other in a decade, the same childlike feelings of joy that they shared would still remain.
“You f*cker! When did you come back? Why didn’t you give me a call, huh?” asked Xeno as favonovel.com playfully smacked Gerald’s back a few times.
“Ow, ow! I just came back some time ago! It’s been a long time since I’ve returned, so I’m staying in Serene County for the time being!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com smiled happily.
“Xeno, that’s a customer! Be professional!” shouted a woman as favonovel.com came out of the shop.
She was dressed fashionably and favonovel.com looked to be around the same age as Gerald.
Of course, Gerald knew who favonovel.com was too. She was from his junior high school and back then, favonovel.com was in a relationship with Xeno.
Her family owned a supermarket in town and they were pretty well to do.
It seemed that both of them were still maintaining their relationship even after so many years!
“Heh, don’t tell me you forgot about Sienna?” said Xeno as favonovel.com smiled.
“She’s my fiancée now… Both of us got engaged just three months ago!”
“Oh? Oh, it’s Gerald? And here I was wondering who it was. Hurry up and greet the customers!”
When Sienna saw Gerald, favonovel.com simply looked at favonovel.com coldly before turning around to leave.
She didn’t really despise or look down on him, but Gerald could still sense a slight resentment through the way favonovel.com looked at him.
Gerald simply smiled awkwardly after hearing that.
“Boss, are you done? We’ve been standing here for a while! Are both of you done chatting?” asked Douglas as favonovel.com tapped his foot.
Douglas was feeling slightly irked. To think that the owner of this second-hand car shop was actually Gerald’s close friend! There was no way favonovel.com was going to be able to make Gerald suffer a loss now!
“Oh? Who’s the seller? Are you the one?” said Xeno as favonovel.com smiled while looking at Douglas.
“Oh, I’m not the one you’re looking for. I’m just helping Gerald sell his Mercedes Benz G500! He’s been driving it for a while now so… I’d say one hundred and fifty thousand dollars should do the trick!” Douglas replied.
He then immediately looked at Gerald before saying, “Gerald, this is your buddy right? Don’t you feel bad selling your car to favonovel.com at such a high price? After all, it would already be great if you could make some profit!”
He wasn’t even going to wait for Gerald to reply.
Xeno on the other hand, was taken aback. “Gerald… this is your car?”
“I’ll explain it all to you one day. For now, just know that I’m glad that you’re the one I’m selling the car to,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com smiled.
Xeno simply nodded before slowly walking around the car as favonovel.com inspected it. He then opened the hood of the car to have a look at it from the inside. “This car costs three hundred thousand dollars. It doesn’t seem like you’ve driven it for more than a month. Gerald, honestly, why are you even selling this car? What more, you’re planning on selling it for only a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? And who’s this kid anyway?” asked Xeno as favonovel.com looked at Douglas.
He knew Douglas was up to no good the moment favonovel.com mentioned selling the car for just one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
“He’s in a hurry to sell the car because favonovel.com wants to get himself a house, a wife, and also a job. With that amount, Uncle Jung and I can make all the necessary arrangements for him! He’ll have a stable job that he’ll never lose in his lifetime! Haha!” replied Douglas smugly.
“Oh? Is favonovel.com telling the truth? This Uncle Jung guy can really secure a stable job for you as well as a wife?”
Xeno looked at Gerald with a pleased expression on his face. If Gerald could get all that just from selling the car, then this transaction would be very much worth it.
He couldn’t help but feel happy for Gerald, his dear buddy.
Gerald could only reply with a wry smile on his face.
He couldn’t just tell favonovel.com that favonovel.com was just doing all this to help his father repay a favor!
“I’d love to buy it off you right now, but I don’t have that much money on hand. Also, do you smoke? I’ll have to trouble you to take care of my brother’s affairs!” said Xeno as favonovel.com took out a cigarette and passed it toward Douglas’s direction.
Douglas however, didn’t take the cigarette. He instead took out his own and lighted it.
“Oh? So you don’t have the money to buy the car from us? Why even bother opening a second-hand car shop then? Forget it then, let’s just have a look at the second-hand car shop just opposite the street! You can see it for yourself right, Gerald? Your buddy just doesn’t have the cash to buy this car!” said Douglas with a grimace as favonovel.com looked at both Xeno and Gerald.
“You don’t need to give me a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You know what, I’m just giving the car to you. I don’t need to drive this car anymore anyway!” said Gerald calmly with a faint smile on his face.
“F*ck! Gerald, are you crazy?”
It was Leila, of all people, who shouted at Gerald’s proposal. She had an astonished expression on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com looked at Gerald.
