Xiao Qinke went to see Lin Wanli in a hurry. After returning home, she soon met Zhou Tingyang. The two of them had made an appointment to see a house.
Originally, Zhou Tingyang thought that Xiao Qin would at most prepare ten to twenty million yuan for the wedding house. However, after seeing most of the villas in Jinchuan, she was still not satisfied.
In the end, the two of them arrived at the most expensive property in Jinchuan, Yong Jing Villa. However, it was still under construction and would not be handed over until the year after next.
“Ke’er, the property here is worth at least 100 million yuan. Very few rich people in Jinchuan would buy a property here. Would it be inappropriate for us to buy it here?” Zhou Tingyang was wildly tempted, but he was also uneasy.
One had to know that even Diheng Huo Jiuxiao’s residence, the wealthiest in Jinchuan, wasn’t as luxurious as this.
“I have money. So what if it’s 100 million?” Xiao Qinke comforted him, “I want
to buy it for my man. Who dares to object?”
After saying that, Xiao Qinke dragged Zhou Tingyang to the sales center. Coupled with the five-star service provided by the sales staff, Zhou Tingyang had never been treated with such respect before. He had already set his mind on this property, but because he wasn’t the one paying for it, he couldn’t rush her. It wasn’t until Xiao Qinke paid the deposit with her card that Zhou Tingyang finally felt relieved.
He had a mansion, and it was worth 100 million yuan.
In order to let the two of them experience the five-star service here, the sales manager brought the two of them around the real estate and introduced it to them.
This time, Zhou Tingyang couldn’t hold back his happiness. The cold and scholarly air that he had been pretending to have was blown away by the wind in the mansion. All that was left was a greedy and weak skeleton.
Xiao Qinke originally wanted to pay the full amount, but she had to prepare the documents for the pre-sale. The salesperson told Xiao Qinke that when the information was ready, he would inform them to sign the contract as soon as possible.
Xiao Qinke nodded generously and then asked the real estate manager to send the two of them back to Zhou Group.
When Father Zhou heard that the two of them had bought a property worth 100 million yuan, he was really shocked. From this, it could be seen that the Xiao family’s business territory in other places was indeed very impressive.
“You should discuss with your family about buying such an expensive piece of land.” Father Zhou concealed his happiness and deliberately scolded her.
“Dad, I haven’t paid yet. I’ve only given them a deposit.” Xiao Qinke said, “While I’m buying the house, I’m also planning to bring my parents over to meet with you and discuss how to hold the wedding. ”
To be able to be so rich, it was obvious that Zhou Tingyang had really gotten involved with a wealthy family.
This time, Father Zhou could no longer hold back the corners of his mouth from tilting. This was because he had already imagined the grand ambitions of the Zhou Group in the next ten years in his mind.
Xiao Qinke secretly curled her lips when she saw the disgusting looks of the father and son. She then said to Zhou Tingyang, “I want to go out and buy clothes in the afternoon. Dear, you should work hard at the company.” “Don’t you want me to accompany you?” Zhou Tingyang asked.
“No, you’ve been walking with me for a long time in the morning. I’ll be kind enough to let you have a good rest in the afternoon.” Xiao Qinke deliberately touched his face, then turned around and left with her bag.
After she had left, Father Zhou looked at Zhou Tingyang and said, ‘You dare to live in a 100 million yuan house? You’re lucky. This is also a skill of yours.” Zhou Tingyang smiled, but his face was filled with pride.
Because wealth and status were within his reach, and it was that easy.
After Xiao Qinke left Zhou Group, she drove to the AFF Asia Pacific Building. She looked at the skyscraper that towered into the clouds and felt extremely determined. She had already released the bait, and she had no choice but to release it.
Lin Wanli had a half-hour lunch break, so she asked her secretary to invite Xiao Qinke to her office and get her a glass of warm water.
Knowing her physical condition, she even asked her secretary to bring her a pillow.
“I didn’t expect you to come so quickly.” Lin Wanli sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. She said, “Now, you can speak freely.”
After Xiao Qinke sat down, she was silent for a few seconds before she spoke.
“I believe you also know that when I was in university, my figure was not good and I was extremely self-abased. At that time, I admired Zhou Tingyang because of his strong self-discipline and the fact that he treated everyone equally. Therefore, I thought that he was different from others.
“But I never thought that my bad luck would start from that time. I would be ostracized for no reason, my desk would have dead rats, and my bed would have glass shards. Then, there are always all kinds of salespeople around me. They all held weight loss pills and hoped that I would buy them. At the same time, they would mock my figure.”
Xiao Qinke choked on her words and continued, “In the end, I was really annoyed, so I bought a product that Zhou Tingyang’s roommate was promoting because he hinted to me that Zhou Tingyang liked slightly chubby girls. I was indeed very tempted, but after taking it for a few days, I was admitted to the hospital because of it. I even almost died on the resuscitation table because of this medicine.”
“But that’s still not too bad. After my parents heard about my condition, they drove to Jinchuan from another city. However, because my father was tired, he got into a car accident on the highway, causing my parents to die on the spot.” Hearing this, Lin Wanli frowned.
She never expected Zhou Tingyang would cause human lives to be lost.
“I only received this news after I recovered. But at that time, I only had my grandmother and the Xiao family’s remaining inheritance. I was in pain for a long time because I felt that I had killed my parents. I couldn’t forgive myself. However, because I had to take care of my old grandmother, I forced myself to stay awake and live a life like a zombie. Until two years ago, when I returned to Jinchuan, I met Zhou Tingyang’s roommate.”
“He knew about the matter that happened because of the medicine back then, so he apologized to me and also revealed the truth. So, the reason why I experienced all that was because Zhou Tingyang was hinting behind my back.
He wanted to hint that I wasn’t worthy of him, but he didn’t want to destroy his image in everyone’s hearts. Therefore, he hinted to the people around him how I was overestimating myself, how fat and ugly I was, and used all that to make fun of me.”
“But if that’s all, then he’s not really vicious. What’s really vicious about him was that he instigated his roommate, who was short of money, to sell me fake weight-loss products. He even made a bet with him that I would definitely accept his roommate’s advertised product because I liked him. On one hand, he disdains my love, and on the other hand, he wants to prove my sincerity to him.”
“How can there be such a shameless and vicious person in this world?” Xiao Qinke choked, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
“Grandma passed away not long ago. She was my only spiritual pillar.. Miss
Lin, do you think I have any other choice?”
