The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 472
Despite that, they were still close childhood friends. Even if they hadnât met each other in a decade, the same childlike feelings of joy that they shared would still remain.
âYou f*cker! When did you come back? Why didnât you give me a call, huh?â asked Xeno as he playfully smacked Geraldâs back a few times.
âOw, ow! I just came back some time ago! Itâs been a long time since Iâve returned, so Iâm staying in Serene County for the time being!â replied Gerald as he smiled happily.
âXeno, thatâs a customer! Be professional!â shouted a woman as she came out of the shop.
She was dressed fashionably and she looked to be around the same age as Gerald.
Of course, Gerald knew who she was too. She was from his junior high school and back then, she was in a relationship with Xeno.
Her family owned a supermarket in town and they were pretty well to do.
It seemed that both of them were still maintaining their relationship even after so many years!
âHeh, donât tell me you forgot about Sienna?â said Xeno as he smiled.
âSheâs my fiancée now⦠Both of us got engaged just three months ago!â
âOh? Oh, itâs Gerald? And here I was wondering who it was. Hurry up and greet the customers!â
When Sienna saw Gerald, she simply looked at him coldly before turning around to leave.
She didnât really despise or look down on him, but Gerald could still sense a slight resentment through the way she looked at him.
Gerald simply smiled awkwardly after hearing that.
âBoss, are you done? Weâve been standing here for a while! Are both of you done chatting?â asked Douglas as he tapped his foot.
Douglas was feeling slightly irked. To think that the owner of this second-hand car shop was actually Geraldâs close friend! There was no way he was going to be able to make Gerald suffer a loss now!
âOh? Whoâs the seller? Are you the one?â said Xeno as he smiled while looking at Douglas.
âOh, Iâm not the one youâre looking for. Iâm just helping Gerald sell his Mercedes Benz G500! Heâs been driving it for a while now so⦠Iâd say one hundred and fifty thousand dollars should do the trick!â
Douglas replied.
He then immediately looked at Gerald before saying, âGerald, this is your buddy right? Donât you feel bad selling your car to him at such a high price? After all, it would already be great if you could make some profit!â
He wasnât even going to wait for Gerald to reply.
Xeno on the other hand, was taken aback. âGerald⦠this is your car?â
âIâll explain it all to you one day. For now, just know that Iâm glad that youâre the one Iâm selling the car to,â replied Gerald as he smiled.
Xeno simply nodded before slowly walking around the car as he inspected it. He then opened the hood of the car to have a look at it from the inside. âThis car costs three hundred thousand dollars. It doesnât seem like youâve driven it for more than a month. Gerald, honestly, why are you even selling this car?
What more, youâre planning on selling it for only a hundred and fifty thousand dollars? And whoâs this kid anyway?â asked Xeno as he looked at Douglas.
He knew Douglas was up to no good the moment he mentioned selling the car for just one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
âHeâs in a hurry to sell the car because he wants to get himself a house, a wife, and also a job. With that amount, Uncle Jung and I can make all the necessary arrangements for him! Heâll have a stable job that heâll never lose in his lifetime! Haha!â replied Douglas smugly.
âOh? Is he telling the truth? This Uncle Jung guy can really secure a stable job for you as well as a wife?â
Xeno looked at Gerald with a pleased expression on his face. If Gerald could get all that just from selling the car, then this transaction would be very much worth it.
He couldnât help but feel happy for Gerald, his dear buddy.
Gerald could only reply with a wry smile on his face.
He couldnât just tell him that he was just doing all this to help his father repay a favor!
âIâd love to buy it off you right now, but I donât have that much money on hand. Also, do you smoke? Iâll have to trouble you to take care of my brotherâs affairs!â said Xeno as he took out a cigarette and passed it toward Douglasâs direction.
Douglas however, didnât take the cigarette. He instead took out his own and lighted it.
âOh? So you donât have the money to buy the car from us? Why even bother opening a second-hand car shop then? Forget it then, letâs just have a look at the second-hand car shop just opposite the street! You can see it for yourself right, Gerald? Your buddy just doesnât have the cash to buy this car!â
said Douglas with a grimace as he looked at both Xeno and Gerald.
âYou donât need to give me a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. You know what, Iâm just giving the car to you. I donât need to drive this car anymore anyway!â said Gerald calmly with a faint smile on his face.
âF*ck! Gerald, are you crazy?â
It was Leila, of all people, who shouted at Geraldâs proposal. She had an astonished expression on her face as she looked at Gerald.
