Chapter 80 - 79: You’re Calling Me Ugly?

Chapter 80: Chapter 79: You’re Calling Me Ugly?

Gao Yuan was a little surprised by the scene.

’He never thought his car would one day end up as a livestream backdrop.’

He’d seen plenty of people online use luxury cars as backdrops for their streams, which always drew in a lot of viewers.

The trio didn’t head for the car right away, instead standing a short distance away to watch.

To be fair, the kid was a decent streamer, effortlessly spitting out catchy rhymes. Plus, the girl beside him was attractive and had a great figure, especially with how impressively round her ’headlights’ were.

Gao Yuan opened TikTok and checked the Tongcheng feed, where he actually managed to find the pair of streamers.

The livestream was framed exactly on his Brabus G900.

But the words coming out of the streamer’s mouth made Gao Yuan’s brow furrow slightly.

"What’s up, folks? Your boy is just hanging out at Wanxiang City today and decided to stream a bit for you all."

"This car of mine, it’s the only one in all of Hang City."

"See this? Just picked it up today. Haven’t even had time to get the plates on it yet!"

"..."

Watching the streamer brag nonstop to his audience, Lin Wanyu started to get annoyed.

"What does he mean, he just picked up the car today?"

’It was supposed to be *her* surprise for Gao Yuan today. This little streamer sure has some nerve!’

As she spoke, Lin Wanyu was about to march over and shoo the two of them away.

But Gao Yuan held out a hand to stop her. "Don’t be angry. This is just how people are online. They’re all desperately scrambling for traffic, just trying to make a bit of money."

"If we suddenly go over there, he’ll be exposed. Let him brag for a little while."

At this point, Gao Yuan still had the mentality of a regular person—he was too soft-hearted.

He didn’t really mind that someone was using his car as a livestream backdrop; in fact, he was even being considerate of the guy.

Another ten or so minutes passed. Gao Yuan checked his phone; it was almost five-thirty.

It was time for him to go home and cook. Any later and it would cut into his workout time.

He raised his hand and waved at the two streamers. When the young man looked over, Gao Yuan pointed at the car, then at himself.

The meaning was clear: it was his car, and he needed to leave.

He just wanted to give the kid a heads-up to end the stream, so he wouldn’t be embarrassed by Gao Yuan’s sudden appearance.

He never expected, however, that the voice coming from the phone in the next moment would make his face fall instantly.

"Folks, someone just tried to use my car for a photo op. Normally, I’d let them, but it’s not convenient while I’m streaming today."

The streamer’s words piqued the interest of his audience, who started goading him to let the person take a picture to prove the car was his.

The young man’s expression stiffened for a second before he laughed. "Folks, it’s not that I won’t lend it. The problem is, the guy’s just not good-looking. I don’t want to scare you all!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan got genuinely angry this time.

’Damn it, even a saint has his limits! I was being considerate, and you have the nerve to call me ugly!’

Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing’s faces also turned livid with rage.

’*They* were ugly?’

’Even with a level-ten beauty filter on, the two of them could still run circles around that woman in front of the car!’

Before the two women could step forward, Gao Yuan was already striding over.

As he approached, the streamer saw he was about to enter the frame. Ignoring his audience, he snapped, his face flushing with irritation, "What’s your problem? I said no pictures, why are you still coming over here!"

"Haven’t you ever seen a luxury car before?"

Seeing the streamer was still keeping up the act, Gao Yuan didn’t even bother to respond. He just swore directly at him, "Get lost!"

With that, he shoved the two of them out of his way and walked straight to the driver’s side.

"BEEP!"

"CLICK!"

"THUD!"

The lights of the Brabus G900 suddenly flashed. Gao Yuan pulled open the door, sat down in the driver’s seat, and slammed the door shut with a thud.

Instantly, the young man and the girl streaming in front of the car froze.

They truly never imagined that Gao Yuan was the actual owner of the car.

’If they’d known, they would have ended the stream long ago!’

They knew better than to mess with someone who could afford a supercar like this; they at least had that much self-awareness.

However, in that short time, their livestream chat had exploded with activity.

"Hahaha, busted!"

"What now? The fake meets the real deal. You feeling awkward, streamer?"

"..."

"Did you guys notice? The owner is super young and handsome!"

Never mind Gao Yuan’s own suave, roguish charm; just the effect of the level-ten beauty filter alone made the brief glimpse of him on camera instantly capture some viewers’ attention.

Luxury Car = Rich.

Suave & Roguish Charm = Young & Rich.

Top-Tier Looks = Young, Rich, & Handsome Bro!

In that instant, Gao Yuan completely overshadowed the wannabe streamer.

"Heh, the streamer’s so full of it!"

"So *that’s* what you call ugly?"

At that moment, the streamer in front of the camera was indeed mortified. His current embarrassment was directly proportional to how much he’d been bragging just moments before.

He now understood why Gao Yuan had waved at him earlier.

The key thing was, the big shot had shown him a kindness, and he just hadn’t gotten the message!

"VROOOM... VROOOM..."

The Brabus G900 started up, and the roar of its engine made the streamer stumble backward. He quickly snatched up his streaming setup and moved it to an empty spot on the right.

Gao Yuan pulled the car out of the parking space. Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing elegantly walked to the side, opened the doors, and got in.

The trio departed amidst the roar of the engine.

But... the kid’s livestream chat exploded once again!

"Holy crap! Verdict’s in: the streamer is officially blind!"

"How could you look at gorgeous women like that and call them ugly? Whichever eye saw that, you should just gouge it out!"

"As expected, the passenger seat of a luxury car never disappoints..."

The streamer stood awkwardly in front of the camera. Watching his viewer count frantically climb by the thousands, he couldn’t bear to end the stream, but it was incredibly awkward to keep it going.

When he saw more and more people asking what had just happened, he instantly had a new idea.

"Get your popcorn! Huge drama, the biggest drama in Hang City!"

"I’m setting up a wishlist. 10,000 Little Hearts and I’ll spill the tea!"

...

Although some viewers who’d seen the whole thing were still in the chat, plenty of people started sending Little Hearts anyway.

These people were happy to play along; for them, it was all about the entertainment.

And just like that, the streamer was happy.

The embarrassing scene from moments ago was instantly tossed to the back of his mind.

’What’s the point of being embarrassed? As long as there’s money to be made, he could be this embarrassed every single day!’

And believe it or not, the streamer really did discover his own secret formula for getting traffic. From then on, Hang City had one more streamer who leeched off luxury cars.

Until one day, he got beaten up...

You could only say that it takes a villain to punish a villain.

Gao Yuan knew he couldn’t be called a villain. On the way back, he simply had Lin Wanyu buy a thousand yuan’s worth of livestream promotion for the streamer.

Lin Wanyu was very confused by this. But after Gao Yuan told her his reason, she bought another thousand yuan’s worth of promotion for the streamer.

The reason was actually quite simple. Since the streamer had discovered that he could get traffic and virtual gifts by leeching off luxury cars, he would definitely continue down this self-destructive path.

There were many luxury cars in Hang City, but probably very few owners with a temper as good as Gao Yuan’s.

Not long after getting home, Gao Yuan was rushed off to the gym by Lin Wanyu.

While in the gym, he received a call from the butler, who said some chefs had arrived and asked if he should bring them up.

Gao Yuan asked Lin Wanyu about it, and sure enough, they were the chefs she had called for, so he just told the butler to bring them up.

’He just wasn’t sure what this little minx was up to now!’

’Was she tired of his cooking?’

’Then they could have just eaten out earlier!’
