The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

Chapter 73: Finding Evidence in the Used Car! (Part 2)

"Miss Gu, since we’re all acquainted, how about we accompany you while you look? You can pick whatever you like."

"I opened this used car dealership myself, so I can at least guarantee the quality for you."

"Okay." She nodded.

The System had just verified it; the cars here didn’t really have any major problems. Although most of them were assembled cars, they were actually pretty decent.

At the very least, they would last a long time.

Lu Shijing kept his eyes fixed on Gu Shengsheng.

He was originally just out for a meal with Jin Ran and happened to be passing by, so they decided to drop in for a look. He never expected to run right into Gu Shengsheng buying a car.

’What is she buying a car for? And a used one, at that?’

’Could it be that someone from the family has been mocking her for not having a car? Or maybe for her low status?’

Lu Shijing pondered whether he should find an excuse to have Lin Kai send her a good car, using some other pretext.

Recently, the second branch of the Lu Family had probably been pushed into a corner, so they were making moves against them.

He’d heard from Lin Kai that Lu Linlin and the old madam had run away from home because they lost an argument, and had even cried miserably.

That was why they had come to Wanliu District to live with Gu Shengsheng. At first, Lu Shijing didn’t believe it.

But now, watching Gu Shengsheng choosing a car all by herself, looking so down on her luck, he couldn’t help but reflect. ’Have I really pushed the second branch too hard lately?’

’No, I need to end this quickly. Once I resolve the company’s matters, I can come back and protect my family.’

’Gu Shengsheng... Even though we’re bound to divorce sooner or later, she’s an innocent person who’s been dragged into this. There’s nothing wrong with showing a little concern.’

When he sent a message telling Lin Kai to pick a car and find an excuse to give it to Gu Shengsheng, Lin Kai was so excited he practically jumped for joy.

He felt like he could climb from the first floor to the tenth.

"Boss! You’re absolutely smitten with Miss Gu. A love you’re not even aware of is the most charming kind!"

Lin Kai sent the message, and the reply from the other side was a single period: .

Lin Kai thought to himself: ’The boss didn’t tell me to "get lost" this time. He must be tacitly agreeing.’

’Not denying it is the same as agreeing. Agreeing is the same as liking. And isn’t liking the same as love? And isn’t love the same as being hopelessly in love?’

’This ship is too good to sail. It’s giving me all the nutrients I need!’

If even Lin Kai could see it, how could Jin Ran not?

He went straight to Gu Shengsheng and asked, "Miss Gu, are you buying a luxury car for family use or just for yourself?"

"For family use, I suppose. I sometimes need to drive an elderly person and a younger sister."

When she said that, Lu Shijing knew she was including Lu Linlin and the old madam.

’But what about him?’

Right after, Jin Ran recommended a Bentley. "Miss Gu, perhaps you could take a look at that Bentley? It’s comfortable."

"It matches your disposition very well."

Gu Shengsheng shook her head. She walked over to an assembled car in the far corner. It wasn’t too big or too small, and it didn’t even have a brand emblem.

A car like this was usually just a mishmash of parts thrown together.

"Miss Gu, you’ve taken a liking to that car?" Jin Ran found this interesting. "That’s not exactly a great choice. The parts inside are cobbled together from all sorts of different brands. We don’t even know what the original vehicle was. A single part might have a history spanning several cars. The only thing we check for is its durability."

Gu Shengsheng said, "Since you think it’s durable, will last a long time, and has passed your quality control, then it’s fine."

With that, Gu Shengsheng walked a circle around it, and then Jin Ran handed her the keys.

"Go give it a try."

Gu Shengsheng opened the door and got in. Jin Ran looked at Lu Shijing. "It’s not my place to say, Shi Jing, but your wife really doesn’t have the best taste."

"It’s one thing not to notice the best car we have here, but how could she pick out the worst one?"

"She’s not right for you. In the future, she won’t be able to stand by your side at all. She’d probably get timid just seeing those other madams and young ladies. She probably couldn’t even handle a cocktail party."

Lu Shijing said flatly, "My wife doesn’t need to do those things."

"She first has to be herself, and only then is she my wife."

"Ooh, ooh, listen to you, already defending her. And I’ve barely said anything. Don’t forget, so many people are waiting for you, hoping you’ll start dating! You haven’t actually fallen for her, have you?"

"None of your business."

Lu Shijing pushed him away. He was blocking his view.

’She mentioned it’s been a long time since she’s driven. She’s been in there for a while without doing anything. What’s going on?’

Lu Shijing watched her movements, ready to pull her out if anything seemed wrong.

The reason Gu Shengsheng hadn’t moved was because she was in shock.

As soon as she sat in the car, the System’s attribute panel popped up.

Item: Used Car Comprised of 27 Brands

Age: Parts from various years

Description: Average performance, average lifespan, average appearance. Minimum usable life: 5 years.

Market Price: 90,000

Recycle Value: Unknown

Gu Shengsheng: ...

’Another item with an unknown recycle value.’

She was becoming more and more interested in these things.

’Just what could it be?’

’A market price of 90,000 is about right for all the parts plus the shell. This "Unknown"... I wonder what the issue is.’

Gu Shengsheng mounted her phone for the livestream on a holder in the car and began to examine the interior.

She didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. It actually did meet her needs.

The viewers in the livestream chat let out a collective sigh:

"Seriously, streamer, you’re at a luxury used car market. Can’t you buy a slightly better car? We’re getting second-hand embarrassment just watching you."

"Picking this assembled thing at a huge luxury used car dealership... isn’t that a huge waste? It’s like picking up scraps in the imperial palace!"

"Streamer, you’d better think this through. Don’t try to save a little money. You’ll be made fun of if you buy this car. Forget other people, we fans will be the ones making fun of you."

Gu Shengsheng turned a deaf ear to their threats.

"I quite like it."

Gu Shengsheng was fiddling with the car’s features when the dashcam happened to connect via Bluetooth.

She tapped on it to take a look.

Normally, a dashcam’s memory should be empty, but this one had two files on it.

’This dashcam must be second-hand too,’ Gu Shengsheng thought.

’These people really are something else.’ She opened one and saw a date. The viewers in the livestream were watching too.

"This video is from ten years ago."

The viewers in the livestream chat were a bit shocked:

"Streamer, open it so we can watch with you! I’m curious too."

"I’m getting this strange thrill of watching some prime gossip. Hurry, hurry."

Gu Shengsheng felt helpless. Just a moment ago, her "treasure friends" in the chat were telling her not to buy it, and now they were more alert than anyone.

At that moment, Chen Yufan was also in the livestream, watching everyone’s comments, finding it amusing. Sister Gu’s stream was the only place he could feel happy.

His hands were constantly showering her with gifts, rewarding Gu Shengsheng in increments of ten thousand.

Gu Shengsheng tapped open the video. At first, the footage was a bit blurry, but then it cleared up to show a driver chatting with two children.

A little girl with a round face, wearing a pink dress, was sitting in the back. She looked very cute.

She spoke to the driver, "Mister~ when are we going to get to the amusement park?~"

The little boy’s face wasn’t clear, but his crisp, childish voice could be heard. "Soon. Get some sleep first, little sis."

Then, the image from the dashcam began to shake violently...
