1140 Showing Off Cars
Through these people’s expressions and conversations, Lucas quickly guessed the situation.
He figured out that Leila had probably long known that the party today wouldn’t be simple, so she had tricked him into promising her a request, which was to pose as her boyfriend for today.
After figuring this out, Lucas sighed.
Indeed, young people these days, especially college students, shouldn’t be belittled!
At this moment, a silver BMW X6 drove over and pulled over beside them.
“Heh, Alyssa, Leila, you guys are finally here!”
The car door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out of the car. One of them, a young girl with wavy hair, greeted Leila and Alyssa smilingly.
“Betty, you two are later than us!” Alyssa complained and then immediately walked over to hug the beautiful girl with wavy hair, looking very chummy.
On the other side, Leila introduced to Lucas, “She’s also my roommate, Bethany Moore. Her nickname’s Betty. Beside her is her boyfriend, Hayden Zimmervale.”
While she introduced them to Lucas softly, Alyssa had already leaned close to Bethany and started whispering to her.
Moreover, Alyssa would even glare at Lucas from time to time. She was obviously talking to Bethany about Lucas.
Who knew what Alyssa said to Bethany, but she soon glared at Lucas too.
Immediately afterward, the two girls walked toward Lucas, hand in hand.
Bethany looked Lucas up and down and said critically with her head held high, “I don’t know how you managed to trick Leila, but let me warn you. Leila is our close friend, and we won’t just watch her being deceived by you!
“If you still have any shame and self-awareness, leave Leila. You’ll never be good enough for her!”
Bethany was extremely harsh with her words.
It was simply rude of her to say such things to someone she was meeting for the first time, especially when he was her roommate’s boyfriend.
Lucas just looked at Bethany without saying a single word.
These people were Leila’s roommates, and Leila had asked him to come along, so she should be interjecting at this time.
Leila smiled, hugged Lucas’s arm tightly, and said to Bethany, “Betty, don’t get the wrong idea! Lucas is my boyfriend, and I had a tough time courting him. Even though you’re my roommate, you shouldn’t be so rude to him, right? Shouldn’t you at least show me some respect?”
Bethany immediately looked surprised. “What did you say? You actually courted a man? And you… found a man like him?”
Bethany securitized Lucas’s ordinary-looking clothes and said in disbelief, “Leila, what’s wrong with you? Look at what your boyfriend is wearing! None of his clothes are designer. He’s dressed even worse than the average boys in our classes!
“Besides, your boyfriend should be several years older than us, right? That means he should have been working for a few years now. He’s already working, but he’s still dressed so ordinarily. He’s a loser!
“Leila, you come from a family of intellectuals. Your grandmother and parents are all professors at Georgetown, but you got yourself a boyfriend like him. You two are worlds apart!
“Leila, I must say, you really have poor taste! Although he looks good, looks won’t pay the bills! A man like him isn’t suitable for you! I think you should hurry up and break up with him and get a better man!”
Alyssa hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right, Leila. You should break up quickly! We’re good friends, so we won’t harm you! This man isn’t good enough for you at all!”
Then she glowered at Lucas and snapped, “Hey, did you hear what we said? You’re not good enough for Leila at all! As her good friends, we don’t like you! If you still have some self-awareness, you should get lost and save yourself from embarrassment. Do you get it?”
Hearing their hostile words, Lucas only found it incredibly amusing.
These two girls who claimed to be Leila’s good friends obviously didn’t really regard Leila as their good friend.
No friend would ignore their friend’s feelings and badmouth their boyfriend under the pretext of doing it for their own good.
Lucas looked at Leila sympathetically. He couldn’t believe that she had spent so many years hanging out with such hypocritical roommates.
“Hey, did you hear what I said? Don’t play dumb!” Alyssa snapped again because Lucas didn’t answer her immediately.
Lucas didn’t lose his temper. He merely said with a faint smile, “In that case, what kind of a man is good enough for Leila?”
Alyssa raised her head and said, “An outstanding man, of course! At least, he has to be on par with Bethany’s boyfriend and mine. His family should have a networth of at least ten million dollars, and he should own a luxury car!”
Alyssa’s boyfriend, Samuel, took out an Audi car key and pressed it. The lights of a nearby black Audi A4 flashed twice.
Bethany’s boyfriend, Hayden, also took out the key to his BMW X6 and waved it in front of Lucas to show off to him.
Their cars, a BMW X6 and an Audi A4, cost about 100 thousand and 50 thousand dollars respectively.
These cars combined were worth less than a tenth of Lucas’s Land Rover.
Looking at the two young men flaunting their car keys in front of him, Lucas found it hilarious.
He didn’t expect to meet people showing off such cars in front of him one day.
They were like two children showing off their tiny arms in front of a weightlifting champion while constantly saying things like, “Look how muscular I am. Are you scared now?”
It didn’t anger Lucas at all. He just found it ridiculous.
At this moment, he felt a strong urge to laugh out loud.
