Chapter 259 - 256: The Overconfident Woman

Engineer Zhao took his tools out of his bag, including a magnifying glass, and hunched over to inspect the condition of the paint.

A few minutes after the people from the 4S dealership arrived, a fashionably dressed woman with an artsy vibe walked over, muttering and cursing.

Stepping into the circle of onlookers, she lifted her chin and said, "Officer, which one of you is the car owner?"

Before the police officer could reply, Wu Yun walked over, followed by a large crowd.

The woman, who had been a bit haughty, reined it in slightly but still said confidently, "Well, hello handsome! Is this your car? Someone who can afford a car this expensive probably doesn’t care about a little bit of money for a paint job, right?"

"Look, how about this? I’ll give you a sincere apology, we can add each other on WeChat, and become friends! Let’s just call it even! Lots of guys ask for my WeChat, and I usually turn them down!"

As she spoke, she even flicked her bangs with her hand.

"You should know, I’m very popular. You’d be lucky to get my WeChat!"

"But I have to say, with your looks, your vibe, and your resources, you’re qualified to be my friend!"

Hearing her words, the onlookers stared at the woman with expressions of utter confusion, unable to comprehend her line of thinking.

Wu Yun sized the woman up and down, and her specific information immediately appeared on his glasses.

Name: Zhou Wenjiao

Age: 24

Height: 165 cm

82/80/90 (Aside from being a virgin, she has absolutely no redeeming qualities!)

’Was it Liang Jingru who gave her this courage? Or Yang Peian who made her believe in tomorrow?’

The police officer at the side couldn’t stand it anymore and quickly interrupted her. "Ma’am, we asked you to come here so the two parties could negotiate the issue of compensation. Please don’t try to confuse the issue."

The woman said, annoyed, "How am I confusing the issue? I’m just proposing a solution to this handsome guy!"

Just then, Engineer Zhao, who had been inspecting the car body, walked over. "Mr. Wu, I’ve had a look. The fluorescent liquid only corroded the topcoat; it didn’t damage the primer. However, I can’t guarantee that the liquid didn’t seep into the car door!"

"For the repairs, we’ll have to remove the door to check for any damage to the internal components. Plus, stripping the old paint and reapplying a new coat also requires taking the door off. A conservative estimate for the maintenance cost is between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan!"

When Zhou Wenjiao heard this, she looked at Wu Yun and said, "Handsome, see? The repair cost isn’t that much. How about I just apologize and we call it even?"

Hearing Zhou Wenjiao say this yet again, Wu Yun shook his head. "Since you think it’s not much money, then just pay the repair costs. The matter will be settled then."

Zhou Wenjiao was instantly displeased. She frowned and said, "Why can’t you, a grown man, be a little more generous? Don’t you know how to be a gentleman to a lady? I’m already doing you a favor by letting you add me on WeChat!"

"You should know, I never give the time of day to the guys who chase me. I’m already stooping so low for you today, what more do you want?"

In this life or his last, this was the first time Wu Yun had ever encountered such a delusionally self-confident woman. She was a true oddity, and he was left completely speechless.

Not wanting to waste any more time arguing with this woman, Wu Yun simply waved Wang Hao over and started walking away.

"Hey! What’s that supposed to mean! I’m talking to you! How can you be so arrogant!" the woman yelled at the top of her lungs. Then, seeing Wang Hao approach, she snapped, "Get out of my way! Who do you think you are?!"

Wang Hao looked at the police officer helplessly. "Officer! As you can see, I think we should just proceed with formal procedures. It looks like she has no intention of settling this privately!"

Then he turned to the Rolls-Royce salesperson, Xiang Yuting, and said, "Miss, we’ll need you to issue the relevant documentation, please."

...

Wu Yun ignored the shouting woman behind him and said calmly to the still-dazed Gao Qiang, "Let’s go. Aren’t you guys going to the movies?"

Because Zhang Xiaojing had booked a later showtime, the original plan was to hang around Salt Market and grab a coffee. Now, it seemed they would have to go straight to the theater.

Gao Qiang was confused. "Ah Yun, you’re just going to leave this?"

Zhang Xiaojing and her roommates were all staring at Wu Yun. Even Li Zitong, who had been quite haughty before, was now looking at him in a new light.

"It’s fine, I’m leaving it to Wang Hao." ’If he can’t even handle something this minor,’ Wu Yun thought, ’I might have to consider getting a new secretary!’

Seeing that Wu Yun wasn’t concerned, Gao Qiang didn’t press the issue. He asked, "Should we take a taxi?"

Wu Yun smiled and waved his hand. "No need! Our ride is here."

As he finished speaking, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up smoothly by the curb.

Gao Qiang’s jaw dropped. "Holy crap! Ah Yun! How many Rolls-Royces did you buy?!"

Wu Yun made an "OK" gesture and smiled at Zhang Xiaojing’s five roommates. "Ladies, you’ll have to drive yourselves! My car only seats three people!"

He then got directly into the passenger seat and joked to Gao Qiang, "Get in! You two can sit in the back! If we don’t get a move on, the traffic police will give us a ticket!"

After saying a few words to her roommates, Zhang Xiaojing also pulled Gao Qiang into the car.

Watching the Phantom drive away, the special look in Xu Dongdong’s eyes turned into sparkling stars.

"Girls! I think I’m falling for him!~"

"Dongdong, you have to control yourself! Don’t be fooled by appearances!" Liu Qianqian, who was quite self-aware, advised from an outsider’s perspective.

"I never said I was going to chase him. I just think his looks and personality are totally my type! Proximity is a huge advantage, you know. If he breaks up with Wen Meng someday, that’s my chance, right?"

Li Zitong suddenly became irritable and shouted, "Let’s go, let’s go! Hurry up!"

...

Meanwhile, back by the Phantom that had been splashed with fluorescent liquid, the crowd of onlookers hadn’t shrunk; in fact, it had grown even larger.

Someone had been recording on their phone the entire time, from when the police called Zhou Wenjiao to the scene all the way to the present moment.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Tell your boss to talk to me. You’re not qualified to speak to me!" Zhou Wenjiao was already fuming from when Wu Yun left, and now, seeing the ordinary-looking and less-than-friendly Wang Hao, her anger flared.

Wang Hao was just a young man in his twenties, and his face flushed red upon hearing her words. However, he quickly composed himself. "Miss! This isn’t about who is or isn’t qualified. My boss has authorized me to handle this! Since you refuse to pay compensation, we will be taking legal action!"

The police officer beside them also tried to persuade her. "Ma’am, I suggest you adopt a better attitude and compensate for the damages. Otherwise, if they take you to court—and they have more than enough witnesses and physical evidence—once the court makes a judgment, you could face jail time! And they will enforce the compensation order!"

The officer’s words only made things worse. Zhou Wenjiao shrieked, "Is there no justice in this world?! It’s not like I splashed it on purpose! As a man, can’t he just let it go for a helpless woman like me? Doesn’t the law protect the vulnerable? Besides, doesn’t your boss have another car?"

"And anyway, didn’t I apologize to your boss on that note? I even gave him my contact information! You should know, I don’t just give my number to any guy! If we just let this go, maybe if I’m in a good mood, I’ll even give your boss a chance to pursue me!"

The onlookers were utterly speechless at this woman, whose strong self-confidence bordered on pure narcissism.

Wang Hao looked at this woman, who fell far short of his boss’s three girlfriends. Even though she was nicely dressed, he felt a wave of disgust and had the sudden urge to punch her.

Fortunately, Wang Hao had decent self-control. He turned to the officer and said, "Officer, as you can see, a private settlement is impossible. We are preparing to take legal action and sue this ’lady’!"

Wang Hao put heavy emphasis on the word "lady."

Hearing Wang Hao, Zhou Wenjiao said dismissively, "Suit yourself! Now give me back that note! How can my contact information fall into the hands of a toad like you! Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see what you look like!"

The police officer adjusted the body camera on his chest and first said to his colleague, "Xiaolin, have you finished taking photos?"

After Xiaolin nodded, the officer said to Wang Hao and Zhou Wenjiao, "I’ll have to ask you two to cooperate and come with us to the station to give a statement!"

Wang Hao naturally had no objection, but he heard Zhou Wenjiao mutter, "Seriously? Don’t you know my time is precious?"

Zhou Wenjiao grumbled and cursed as she got into the police car, complaining, "What a piece-of-shit car!..."
