"What? You hit my car?"
Upon learning his beloved car had been hit, Chen Nan, who had been drowsy, instantly snapped to attention, all traces of sleepiness gone.
After all.
It was a new car he had bought less than a day ago!
"I... I didn’t mean to do it..." a woman’s voice came over the phone, slightly tearful, nervous, and helpless.
"Hold on, I’m coming down now." Chen Nan hung up the phone, his face full of irritation as he took the elevator down to the underground garage.
From a distance, he saw a familiar figure, standing panic-stricken in front of his Mercedes.
What he hadn’t expected was.
The woman who had hit his car turned out to be the "Oyster Beauty" from upstairs.
Yep.
Indeed.
Just yesterday, her vibrating egg had accidentally entered her body, and it was Chen Nan who helped dig it out.
Afterward, this extraordinary wife seemed eager to help him release his built-up tension, but upon receiving a call from her husband, she left Chen Nan’s place abruptly.
Chen Nan had not expected that they would meet again in this way today.
Seeing Chen Nan appear, Wang Churan showed a hint of surprise on her face. She looked nervously at Chen Nan and couldn’t help asking, "Taoist master, is... is this your car?"
"What else?" Chen Nan spread his hands, then noticed the electric tricycle that was in close contact with his Mercedes, carrying two boxes of oysters and emitting a fishy seafood smell.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I accidentally hit your car while reversing." Wang Churan’s face was full of apologies: "Please check the condition of your car. I’ll help you fix it."
"Unbelievable!" Chen Nan sighed helplessly: "I picked up this car yesterday, it hasn’t even been twenty-four hours, and I freaking didn’t even have time to get a car cover..."
This wasn’t just any S-Class that Chen Nan had; the dealership didn’t carry car covers for this model. Although he had asked Liu Hanyan to order a car cover previously, it hadn’t arrived yet, and now the car was already damaged.
His mood was quite gloomy.
He checked the damage to the car, the front lip was broken, and the left headlight also had a crack, much worse than he had imagined.
"I’ll contact the 4S shop!" Chen Nan took out his phone and started a video call with Liu Hanyan.
Soon. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
The video call connected, and Liu Hanyan’s breathtakingly beautiful face appeared on the screen, her expression gentle as she asked, "Miss me, darling?"
Chen Nan forced a smile: "My car’s been damaged, and I wanted you to help arrange for the repairs."
Liu Hanyan was momentarily stunned, then smiled wryly: "A new car bought yesterday, and damaged today? Your luck really is terrible, isn’t it?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "Maybe, meeting you has used up all my good luck!"
"You sweet-talker," Liu Hanyan couldn’t resist Chen Nan’s sudden flattery, and her face flushed with a charming red.
"Honey, hold on a moment, I’ll have the after-sales manager come over to assess the damage," Liu Hanyan picked up the phone in front of her and dialed a number to summon the after-sales manager to her office.
Soon.
The after-sales manager entered Liu Hanyan’s office with a respectful expression.
"Darling, you talk to the after-sales manager!" Liu Hanyan said as she handed her phone to the after-sales manager.
"Hello Mr. Chen," the after-sales manager, who had met Chen Nan the day before, was very polite.
"Hello," Chen Nan flipped the camera: "Can you check the damage to the front lip and the headlight, and if they need to be replaced?"
Hearing this.
Wang Churan also became nervous on the side. She had heard that the repair costs for Mercedes cars could be very high, if they didn’t need to be replaced, she would be somewhat relieved.
"Mr. Chen, the front lip of your car is made of carbon fiber, unlike ordinary vehicles, it cannot be repaired with bodywork; such components must be replaced once damaged."
"As for your left headlight, it also has noticeable cracks, in this situation, they must be replaced."
Upon hearing the customer service manager’s words, Wang Churan’s heart trembled violently. Her delicate face was as pale as wax, devoid of any color.
The thing she feared the most
still happened!
Chen Nan asked, "How much will it cost to replace the front lip and the left headlight?"
The customer service manager said, "Since your car is the limited edition AMGS65, different from the regular S-class, replacing the front lip and left headlight will be somewhat expensive."
"Even if we don’t make a penny from you, just the cost of these two components alone will be over three hundred thousand."
Upon hearing this,
Chen Nan involuntarily gasped, "Damn, that expensive?"
Wang Churan, after hearing this price, was almost paralyzed on the ground.
This figure was astronomical to her.
It was unbearable for her.
Liu Hanyan took her phone, smiling as she said, "Your car cost over four million on the road, and whether it’s the carbon fiber front lip or the headlights, both are very expensive."
"Of course, if this car belonged to someone else, it wouldn’t be over the top for us to charge five hundred thousand, as our dealership also needs to make a profit."
"I still have dozens of employees under me waiting to be fed."
Chen Nan acknowledged with a hum, "Alright then, let’s leave it at that for now, I will contact you later." After saying that, he hung up the video call and then looked towards Wang Churan, who was shivering in fear, her face yellow as wax.
"You heard the conversation just now, right? Let’s stick with the dealership’s quoted price."
Wang Churan looked at Chen Nan with a face full of terror and said nervously, "I heard it, but... I can’t come up with that much money."
Although she and her husband could make over a thousand a day selling oysters, which is a high income,
three hundred thousand was no small amount.
Given her family’s situation, they simply couldn’t come up with that much money.
Chen Nan frowned slightly and said with a hint of displeasure, "Miss, you’re not trying to default on the payment, are you?"
Everyone must pay for their own mistakes.
Even though she was a woman,
Chen Nan could not pay for her mistake.
After all,
three hundred thousand was also a significant amount for him.
Seeing Wang Churan at a loss, Chen Nan shook his head helplessly and said, "You better call your husband."
"No, no, no!" Wang Churan shook her head desperately, her eyes also filled with a terrified look, "If he finds out I hit your car, he will definitely kill me."
Chen Nan was at his wit’s end, "Then tell me what should we do? We are mere strangers, you can’t expect me to pay three hundred thousand to fix my car for your mistake?!"
Wang Churan, with her head down and constantly fidgeting with her skirt hem, revealed a helpless and anxious expression on her face.
At that moment, she really didn’t know what to do.
If it were three or five hundred yuan, she could still manage that.
But...
Chen Nan’s car cost over four million.
The damage was estimated at three hundred thousand.
Such an amount was something she couldn’t possibly afford!
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Churan looked up nervously and asked cautiously, "Could... could I compensate with my body?"
