Chapter 48: Haggling

  The driver, though somewhat unwilling, was still moved by Tian Nanyu's words. However, the business that could have earned him several thousand yuan was now completely ruined due to Tian Nanyu's meddling. His face and tone both showed extreme displeasure: "You said you'd pay, so it's 1,000 yuan!"

  "300", Tian Nuoyu was not surprised at all by his lion's big mouth opening, she said calmly.

  "Sister, this price is too low, 800 is fine."

  “300”。

  "700 yuan".

  “300”。

  “600！”

  "300", Tian Nuoyu remained calm and composed, without any intention of loosening up.

  The driver was annoyed, but Tian Nuoyu's toneless words made him somewhat helpless. He still wanted to try his luck and earn an extra 100 yuan, so he pretended to be impatient and said, "Don't say any more, just 400 yuan!"

  "Then 200 it is!" Tian Nuanyu suddenly changed her tone.

  The driver's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Sister, how can you agree on a price and then suddenly change it?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Yu Xing let out a "heh" and burst into laughter.

  The driver also reflected on himself and said that he had misspoken, feeling extremely remorseful. He was about to speak up, but Tian Nuoyu didn't give him the chance to retort.

  She quickly replied: "If you're still not satisfied with this price, then 100 will do."

  Tian Nuoyu's tone was still calm and peaceful, but a hint of a smile had already appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  The driver stared blankly for a moment, suddenly speechless. He had quoted 1,000 yuan but she had beaten him down to 100 yuan. It seemed he had met his match today. From Tian Nanyu's previous actions, he could tell that she was not only skilled at repairing cars, but also at haggling over prices.

  But thinking about it, it's not surprising that she can be so confident. Judging from her skillful driving of the rescue car earlier, she must also be familiar with the rules here. Helping to recharge the vehicle would cost at most one or two hundred yuan, and once he even only charged fifty yuan. However, today he saw that their cars were all top-notch, and knowing that he had met wealthy owners, he thought he could make a bit more money, but unexpectedly he encountered an expert.

  The driver had a look of blowing his mustache and staring with wide eyes, which made Mu Yu Xing and Qiu Nian Wei burst out laughing.

  Their laughter made the driver's face uncontainable, his face stiffened, and he glared at Tian Nanyu with a fierce gaze.

  Tian Nuoyu seemed to be in a daze, her tone becoming increasingly calm: "Then it's 100 yuan!" As she spoke, she made a gesture of reaching into her pocket to grab the money.

  But she was thinking about how to pay him, and when Mu Yu Xing left in the morning, she didn't mention going out beforehand. She only had her phone and less than 100 yuan in change in her pocket.

  The driver's eyes were blazing with anger, but he knew better than to try to get more money out of Tian Nuanyu today. He gritted his teeth and forced out a few words: "I'm unlucky to have run into you today, no need to say more, just 200 yuan!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, two banknotes were handed over to him.

  Tian Nuoyu turned her head and saw that Duan Liuyun was holding money in his hand, looking at the driver with a slant.

  The driver took the money and saw that there was only 150 yuan. He shouted: "Brother, we agreed on 200, why did you give less?"

  "I'm sorry! I only have these two small bills, if you're not satisfied, then give me back that 50 yuan note!" Duan Liuyun said in a soft tone, imitating Tian Nuanyu's speech.

  After hearing Duan Liu Yun's words, Mu Yu Xin and Qiu Nian Wei burst out laughing, their faces becoming two bright sunflowers, Tian Nuan Yu also curved the corners of her mouth and smiled.

  The driver glanced at Duan Liuyun, then looked at Tian Nuanyu again, and gazed at the other four people beside him. He clenched his fist in anger but felt helpless, stuffed the money in his hand into his pocket, and threw out a sentence with a vicious tone: "I'm so unlucky to have met you guys!" After that, he turned around, jumped onto the driver's seat of the rescue vehicle, and quickly started the car.

  "Uncle, it's really fate that I met you today! I hope to meet you again next time!" Mu Yuexin deliberately shouted in a coquettish tone at the driver in the driving room.

  The driver honked the horn twice in a fit of rage and then drove away in the rescue vehicle.

  Mu Yu Xin and Qiu Nian Wei burst out laughing.

  Duan Liu Yun turned his head and glanced at Tian Nuan Yu, raised an eyebrow, then turned around and walked to the front of his car, opened the door and got into the driver's seat.

  Qiu Nianbo got into his own car, but Qiu Nianwei rushed ahead of Mu Yuexin and sat in the passenger seat of Lan Shengyan's car.

  "Who allowed you to sit here?"

  "This car isn't even yours, what's it to you!" Qiu Nianwei raised her head and gave Mu Yuexin a sideways glance, with an air of self-satisfaction.

  Mu Yu Xing hummed softly and didn't want to entangle with her anymore, so he walked to the back seat of the car, opened the door and sat down.

  Tian Nuanyu turned around to see that except for Lan Shengyan, who had not yet boarded the car, everyone else was already seated. She slowly walked towards Lan Shengyan's car, her head lowered as she looked at her own hands.

  Just now she got some oil stains on her hands when receiving the call, there was no tissue in her pocket, and it's impossible to find a place to wash hands on this highway, so it seems that she can only find a place to wash her hands after arriving at the destination.

  She was thinking, when suddenly a slender and white hand stretched out in front of her, with a plain handkerchief placed on the palm.

  Tian Nuoyu raised her head and saw that she had already walked to the side of Lán Shēngyān's car, where Lán Shēngyān was standing beside it, handing her a handkerchief.

  "There's no place to wash hands here, let's get off the highway later and find a place to wash our hands, use this to wipe it for now!" Lan Shengyan's tone was very light, and his expression was also very light.

  Tian Nuoyu was taken aback, her gaze falling on the handkerchief in his hand.

  Nowadays, not to mention men, even women rarely use handkerchiefs. I didn't expect Lán Shēng to still be using a handkerchief, and how could he bear to let her use this handkerchief to wipe her hands covered in oil stains?

  The handkerchief was a plain white square with several pale blue stripes forming a grid, the edges of which were also pale blue. It lay quietly in the palm of his long and slender hand, folded into a neat square.

  Tian Nuanyu glanced at her own hand, thinking that using such a clean and elegant handkerchief to wipe the oil stains on her hand was simply a waste of a treasure.

  "No need, I'll just find a place to wash my hands in a bit."

  "Brother Lan, your handkerchief is so clean and it's a pity to use it to wipe the dirt. I have wet wipes in my bag, I'll give her the wet wipes..." Before Qiu Nianwei could finish speaking, Lan Shengyan glanced at her lightly, his eyes without any severity, but it made Qiu Nianwei immediately stop talking.

  "There are many handkerchiefs, but only one pair of hands!" Lan Shengyan said lightly, and then he put the handkerchief in Tian Nuanyu's hand, turned around and opened the car door to get into the driver's seat.
