The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 47
When Charlie’s in-laws heard that he would be buying them a better car the next day, their faces lit up with smiles.
However, the father-in-law was blissfully unaware that he was about to miss out on a premium BMW 760.
Claire felt a little anxious. After washing up and returning to their room, she quietly asked Charlie, “Do you still have enough money to buy a car? I have a bit of my own savings, you can use that for tomorrow’s purchase!”
Charlie quickly waved her off, saying, “No need! I still have some funds, it’s enough.”
Claire felt guilty and said, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect my parents to react this way…”
Charlie smiled at her, reassuringly, “What are you talking about? Your parents are also my parents now. We’re family and it’s only right to show them respect.”
As he spoke, Charlie lay down on his small mat, smiling as he added, “Don’t worry, I’ll get another one tomorrow morning!”
Claire said gratefully, “Charlie, thank you!”
Charlie chuckled, “Why do you need to be so formal with me, my wife?”
Blushing, Claire asked, “Aren’t you going to be cold sleeping on the floor tonight?”
Charlie replied casually, “No, not at all. I’m perfectly fine!”
Claire suddenly shot back, annoyed, “If you’re not cold, then just go to sleep! You stubborn man!”
She almost felt tempted to let him sleep on the bed, but his stubbornness got on her nerves…
Charlie suddenly realized he might have overlooked something…
So he quickly exclaimed, “Oh dear, the floor is freezing! I’m really shivering here!”
Claire huffed, “If you’re cold, then get under a blanket!”
“Oh…” Charlie fell into a pout, feeling disheartened. After a while, he reluctantly complained, “Wife, it seems to be getting colder. I really feel cold!”
Claire ignored him, kicked off a blanket and said irritably, “How cold can it be on a summer night? If you’re still cold, I’ll find you a down jacket!”
Charlie felt hopeless. It appeared his wife was determined to keep him off the bed tonight!
The next morning, Claire prepared to leave for work early.
Charlie made breakfast for her, handed her the keys to the BMW and said, “Drive it to the office today.”
Claire hesitated, saying, “Is it really okay for me to drive the car you bought for me to work?”
Charlie reassured her, “What’s inappropriate about that? You’re my wife and the car is intended for you, not just for me.”
Claire nodded gently, feeling grateful as she said, “Thank you!”
With that, she took the keys to the BMW.
Meanwhile, her father chimed in enviously, “Charlie, you said you would buy me a car too! Don’t forget!”
“I haven’t forgotten!” Charlie said quickly. “Just wait, I’ll make sure to buy one for you. Just keep an eye out for the new car when it arrives at home!”
The father-in-law beamed, replying, “Then I’ll wait! And remember, BMW 530! Don’t get the wrong one!”
Charlie laughed and nodded. “Don’t worry, Dad I’ll buy you a BMW 530 today!”
With that, he went downstairs with Claire and pulled his electric scooter out of the trunk of the BMW 760.
Claire drove off in the BMW 760 while Charlie rode his scooter to the BMW dealership.
As he approached the dealership, he passed the Audi store, where a salesperson first spotted him.
“Wow, look! That guy who bought a BMW 760 is back and he’s on an electric scooter!” The salesperson exclaimed.
“I can’t let him slip away this time, I’m going to stop him and sell him a top-tier Audi A8!” Another voiced.
“Right on!”
Suddenly, a swarm of Audi salespeople rushed out to surround him.
“Sir! Come check out our latest model, the top-of-the-line Audi A8!”
“Sir! Our A8 is incredibly powerful, equipped with a W12 engine that outperforms the V12 in your BMW 760!”
Curious, Charlie asked, “Is it really that powerful?”
“Absolutely!” an eager salesperson jumped in. “Let me explain, our W12 engine can deactivate half its cylinders, running on 6 cylinders for better fuel efficiency!”
Charlie scoffed, “Are you serious?Why Would I buy a 12-cylinder car to deactivate 6 cylinders for fuel economy? Why not just buy a 6-cylinder car then?”
“Uh…um…well…”
The salesperson suddenly realized he had misspoken and turned red.
Charlie smirked at them, saying, “I know what you’re thinking. You were upset when I purchased the BMW 760 yesterday and are trying to win me over today, right?”
The others nodded hurriedly.
Charlie replied, “Well, it’s too late! You ignored me yesterday and today I’ll make sure you regret it!”
As he finished, Charlie pressed the horn on his scooter.
“Ding…”
“Step aside! I’m heading to the BMW dealership to buy a car!”
At that moment, a BMW salesperson ran out, angrily shouting, “What do you think you’re doing, you Audi folks? Are you trying to steal our customers? Can’t you see our customer isn’t interested in you at all? If you keep crowding him, I’ll have the media expose you!”
The Audi team felt embarrassed and scattered away in shame.
The manager of the BMW dealership personally approached Charlie, respectfully asking, “Mr. Wade, do you still want to purchase a car today?”
Charlie nodded and responded, “Yes, do you have a BMW 530 in stock? I want to drive it away now!”
“Absolutely!” The manager exclaimed, visibly thrilled.
After all, Charlie had purchased a BMW 760 yesterday and was looking to buy a BMW 530 today, this was a significant sale!
“Sir, please follow me, I’ll show you the vehicles on display.”
Charlie nodded and followed the manager into the showroom.
Sure enough, they found a BMW 530 on display. Charlie sat inside and felt around. Although it resembled the 7 Series in appearance, the interior was noticeably less luxurious. Yet for his middle-aged father-in-law, it was already a high-end option.
Prepared to make the purchase directly, Charlie suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out flirtatiously, “Oh dear, I really love the BMW X6! Can you buy me one?”
Turning in the direction of the voice, Charlie spotted Lily Lewis, the fiance of his college friend Douglas, cozying up to a strange man with an intimate expression.
Charlie frowned with irritation, Lily calling another man “dear” made his blood boil. Could she really be cheating on Douglas? His anger surged. He had a low tolerance for women who lacked integrity and were unfaithful.
Moreover, Douglas was dedicated to his career and here she was, sneaking around and betraying him, she was simply repulsive!
Just then, the man grinned lecherously and asked, “If I buy you an X6 right now, how will you explain it to Douglas?”
“Douglas?” Lily Lewis replied dismissively, “Don’t mention that coward. He’s useless, comes from a poor family and has no ambition. If it weren’t for his honest, down-to-earth appearance, I wouldn’t be with him!”
