"Well, I have to say this, itâs been pressing on my mind and I need to get it off my chest."
After Jiang Tao finished giving Du Enan a vaccine shot, he finally said:
"The Mercedes GLS that I won in your mallâs lottery before the New Year had some minor issues before I got home."
"What? A new car had problems?"
Du Enan looked incredulous upon hearing Jiang Taoâs words.
"Hmm, but hear me out first."
Jiang Tao continued: "The problem wasnât serious, but going through the dealershipâs warranty process would take days, and I wanted to get home quickly; I couldnât wait."
"So I went to a friend for a quick fix and discovered something unusual."
Du Enanâs gaze became intense as she asked: "What unusual thing?"
Jiang Tao went straight to the point, "My friend said my car had been through warranty before with repair records; itâs a second-hand vehicle that someone returned."
"What! Itâs a second-hand car that someone returned!"
Du Enanâs voice rose considerably in disbelief upon hearing Jiang Taoâs revelation.
"Yes, it is indeed a second-hand car, but it drives with no issues, just like a new one."
"Iâm asking you because I want to confirm whether you know about this."
"If you know, itâs okay, between us, it doesnât matter if itâs new or second-hand as long as the quality is fine."
"But if youâre also unaware, then the dealership is being dishonest."
As Jiang Tao spoke, he was observing Du Enanâs facial expression.
Seeing her shocked and slightly angry expression, clearly, she was unaware of this.
"Jiang Tao, I assure you, I really didnât know about this; I had no idea the car gifted to you was second-hand!"
After hearing Jiang Taoâs words, Du Enan was so angry that her chest heaved; she was genuinely upset!
Spending new car money on a returned second-hand car, who wouldnât be infuriated!
Xu Li, listening to Jiang Taoâs words from the side, also had a surprised and angry expression.
Jiang Tao feigned surprise and said, "Oh, you didnât know? Then maybe your mall got tricked by the dealership."
"Jiang Tao, donât worry, I promise to give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"Those dealers dare set their schemes on us, Iâll definitely pursue this matter!"
Du Enan seemed genuinely furious, her demeanor showing she was deeply upset.
This kind of affair would be difficult for anyone to remain calm.
"Nannan, donât get angry; itâs not good for you and the baby. We should focus on solving problems, getting upset doesnât help at all."
Xu Li hurriedly held her hand and softly comforted her.
Jiang Tao also laughed and reassured, "Xu Li is right, itâs not worth getting angry about, and Enan, itâs not your fault at all."
Du Enan looked at Jiang Tao and solemnly promised:
"Thank you for understanding, Jiang Tao. I really didnât know about this, but donât worry, I will definitely give you a satisfying resolution."
Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Even if you donât give me an explanation, itâs fine. Iâm just saying, the car drives without any issues."
"No way! They tried to play tricks on Wanxianghui!"
"I absolutely wonât let this slide; otherwise, theyâll think weâre easy targets!"
Du Enan angrily said, "Our mallâs legal team is not idle; we must make them feel significant pain this time!"
Jiang Tao refrained from putting pressure on Du Enan, saying:
"You handle it as you see fit, Iâm fine with any outcome."
"Alright then, when I get back, Iâll call our purchasing department and have them follow up first thing tomorrow at work!"
Du Enanâs efficient working style was evident once again tonight.
"By the way Enan, I have a previous repair record of that GLS on my phone, sent by my friend."
"Luckily, I kept a watchful eye back then and saved the repair record image."
"But after the New Year, when my friend checked the maintenance record again, it had been deleted by Mercedes."
Jiang Taoâs words certainly fanned the flames regarding the Mercedes dealership.
Du Enan gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Jiang Tao, send me the maintenance record you have; itâs outrageous how theyâre trying to erase evidence!"
Xu Li, standing by, kindly advised Du Enan:
"Donât get upset, donât get upset; itâs not worth being angry over this."
"Alright, Iâve sent it to you."
Jiang Tao took out his phone and sent the evidence he kept to Du Enan before putting it back in his pocket.
"Got it! Itâs getting late; Iâll head home first. Letâs meet again some other day."
"Alright, Enan, take it slow on your way home, goodbye."
"Goodbye Du Enan."
Jiang Tao and Xu Li waved goodbye to Du Enan.
They watched her disappear at the corner of the apartment road.
Only then did they turn their gaze back and headed towards their building.
"Honey, is our car really a problematic one?"
Xu Li while holding Jiang Taoâs arm, asked worriedly.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Minor issues, already fixed, doesnât affect performance."
Xu Li patted her chest and took a deep breath:
"Thatâs good, when you mentioned it was a problematic car earlier, my heart almost leapt out."
"But if it doesnât affect performance, why did you talk about this with Enan?"
Xu Li asked, looking curiously at Jiang Taoâs profile.
