Chapter 50


    He thought about what he could do until an amazing idea suddenly struck his mind!


    He drove to the nearby car repair workshop, then spent twenty bucks to rece the BMW 760 logo


    with a 520.


    The main differences between these models were their engines and interioryouts. The exterior of


    a BMW 5 series looked very simr to the 7 Series that it was quite difficult to distinguish between


    them other than through the rear tailbel. 4


    The 520 was the lowest spec model in the 5 Series-with an average engine and average


    technology, it was an all-round average car. 1


    On the other hand, the 760 was the highest spec model in the 7 Series with a top-notch engine,


    awesome maneuver control. It was a very powerful car. 3


    Charlie grinned triumphantly as he drove the 760 with the 520 logo at its back. ire didn''t know


    much about cars and wasn’t enthusiastic about them. She would buy it without a doubt if he told her


    this was a BMW 520. 4


    The owner of the workshop smacked his lips in amusement as he watched the BMW leave his


    shop. H e didn''t expect the young man to be so mischievous despite his honest look. He must have


    a cunning n


    ying in his mind that he deliberately changed the 760 logo to a 520! 2 ***


    After car shopping, Charlie remembered his second mission-to buy a gift for the opening of


    Dous’s restaurant at noon today.


    As Dous was the one and only ssmate who was nice to him during college, he wanted to give


    a generous gift to him. He drove to arge consignment shop gallery and spent two hundred


    thousand dors for an early painting by Rachel Ruysch, the painter from the Dutch Golden Age. 4


    Rachel Ruysch’s fame was lost to much of the art history world nowadays, so most people wouldn’t


    recognize her paintings. 2


    He selected an ancient painting as his gift to Dous for two reasons-he wanted to give Dous a


    meaningful and expensive gift but he didn''t want the others to know how much the painting was


    worth.

    If someone were to ask about it, he would simply say that it had only cost a few thousand dors.


    After shopping, it was almost noon. He called ire and told her that he would pick her and Doreen


    up from the Emgrand Group headquarters.


    ire gaped in surprise when Charlie drove a BMW 5 series! She stared at him, dumbfounded, and


    asked in shock, "Where did the care from?” 2


    Charlie said with a warm smile, "I bought it for you!"


    "You bought it?" ire was even more surprised." Where did you get the money?” 2


    "Private savings, of course," Charlie said with an indifferent shrug. “Look, I didn''t spend a penny


    when we got married, and all these years, all my expenses have been covered by you and your


    family. What''s so weird about saving some pocket money?" 1


    "It’s your savings, you should use it on yourself. Why did you spend on such an expensive car? It


    must have cost four hundred thousand dors, right?” 1


    Charlie chuckled. "You''re my wife, what''s wrong with me spending my pocket money on you? Do


    you want m e to spend it on my mistress? Besides, you are a director now and people might tease


    you for not having a car."


    Doreen quickly interjected, "ire, you do need a car for your dailymute. This car is quite


    suitable for you, by the way. Charlie loves you so much, you should be happy!" 1


    ire nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Charlie!" 1


    Charlie grabbed her hand gently and said, "You''re wee, my dear." 1


    Then, he urged thedies, "Let''s go to Dous''s restaurant now!”


    ire hurriedly asked as if a thought suddenly struck her, "Did you buy him a gift?"


    "I did," Charlie answered, "I bought him a painting." 1


    "A painting?" ire asked curiously, "What kind of painting?"


    "An ancient painting I saw on Antique Street. It''s a painting of pomegranate, which symbolizes


    righteousness. It looked pretty good, so I bought it." 1


    "How much did you buy for?" 2


    "Several thousand dors.” 1


    ire nodded and chuckled, "I think you might have been scammed! You can''t buy an authentic


    painting for that price." 1


    Charlie smiled casually. "Never mind, it''s the token of our heart that is the most important." 1


    ire nodded in agreement. "You''re right, it’s our courtesy that is the most important. Let''s go!"
