23: Chapter 23: The Carefree Mia 23: Chapter 23: The Carefree Mia Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Located between the second and third rings of Dongzhimen in the capital city, there is a villa area called Donghu Villas.
Its geographical location is superb, situated within the third ring of the capital, it is clearly a place where land is worth its weight in gold.
Ruth Wilcox’s home was in Donghu Villas.
In fact, when Yusuf Zuck drove into the Donghu Villa area, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
He knew the real estate in the capital was expensive, he knew even more that such prime locations were even pricier, and yet Ruth had a villa here?
How wealthy must she be?
“How much is a square meter for one of these houses?” Yusuf Zuck asked in a low voice.
“When I bought it, it was over sixty thousand per square meter, and now it seems like the price has gone up again.
This place has a good location, other places might drop, but here it’s rising,” Ruth Wilcox said indifferently.
“Then how big is your house?” Yusuf Zuck pressed.
Ruth replied, “Mine is considered a small unit, just under four hundred square meters.”
“Four hundred square meters and that’s a small unit?” Yusuf Zuck’s brain couldn’t quite wrap around the concept—four hundred square meters, isn’t that more than twenty-five million?
“Why do you ask?” Ruth Wilcox gave Yusuf Zuck a glance and said, “But you should be careful driving here later, there are quite a few foreigners living here, the embassy area is just to the east, and the people coming and going here are all rich and powerful, let’s try to keep a low profile.”
“Low profile, indeed we need to keep a low profile; this place is really beautiful though, with gardens and lakes.
This is the capital, outside the streets are full of cars, but here it’s like something out of ‘Small bridge, flowing water, households,’ truly, the wealthy know how to live it up!” Yusuf Zuck smacked his lips, the world of the wealthy, he couldn’t understand!
Ruth laughed, “I’ll get you a pass tomorrow, there’s also a clubhouse, restaurants, all kinds of clubs here, you can go around when you have free time, access everywhere with one card.”
Yusuf Zuck immediately shook his head, “I’d better not, a little commoner like me can’t mingle with you rich folks.”
“We’re here, just ahead.” While Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox were talking, a European-style villa came into view.
The villa had a yard and two large gates, and at that time, a silver-white sports car was parked in the yard, where a girl was also watering plants.
“Damn, a Maserati!” Yusuf Zuck liked cars, so the moment he saw the silver-white sports car, he recognized instantly that it was a Maserati, although he wasn’t sure exactly which model.
“What are you shouting for?
You startled me!” Ruth, sitting in the back of the car, was speechless, “That’s Mia’s car, not mine, I don’t like sports cars.”
“I see Lara there,” said Yusuf Zuck as he drove into the yard, parking alongside the Maserati.
Mia at that time was barefoot, seemingly enjoying her time in the yard alone, and upon seeing Ruth get out of the car first, she said mischievously, “Ruthie, our life as roommates begins now, huh!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, Yusuf is here too.” Ruth Wilcox signaled to Mia with her eyes.
“I saw, huh,” Lara Tuff snorted, and continued watering the plants, not even bothering to greet Yusuf Zuck.
However, as she didn’t greet Yusuf Zuck, once he got out of the car, he took the initiative to wave at her, saying, “Hi, Miss Lara, how are you!”
Lara then turned around, looking at Yusuf Zuck!
The little security guard changed into new clothes, quite handsome, huh.” Lara’s eyes lit up; indeed, the security guard, now dressed in a suit and wearing leather shoes, did look the part.
“Can’t help it, I was born with a celebrity’s face, wherever I go, I can knock them dead!” bragged Yusuf Zuck.
Seeing Yusuf Zuck’s braggadocio, Ruth Wilcox couldn’t help but chuckle, while Lara Tuff curled her lip and said, “You don’t have a celebrity’s face, you have an iron face, your skin is just too thick, and… you… get out of the way, I’m washing the car!” While speaking, she raised the hose in her hands and sprayed it towards Yusuf Zuck.
“Ah—I- damn it, what are you doing, stop, stop it…” Yusuf Zuck never imagined that Mia would actually douse him with the hose, and without any warning at that, which left his newly bought suit thoroughly soaked in an instant! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novᴇlfire.net
“Oops, sorry, sorry, get out of the way, the water pressure is too much, move, move…” While urging Yusuf Zuck to dodge, Mia continued to pour water on him, her actions clearly not those of washing a car but deliberately dousing Yusuf Zuck.
“Damn it, stop, stop, you— If you don’t stop, I’m going to lose it!” Yusuf Zuck knew Mia still remembered being knocked out that morning, this was her revenge; besides, Ruth Wilcox had mentioned before that Mia would be staying over and to give her some leeway.
Mia indeed was vengeful, never one to hide her grudges.
“Shh—” Just as Mia continued pouring, the water from the hose suddenly stopped.
It was Ruth Wilcox, she had turned off the water valve for the garden hose.
“I’m so sorry, uh, Yusuf Zuck, I didn’t mean to, the water pressure was just too high, I couldn’t control it!” Mia looked at a soaking wet Yusuf Zuck, her heart blossoming with joy, yet her face betrayed the look of a child who had done wrong, somewhat afraid.
Yusuf Zuck was drenched, water dripping down his body, his new clothes ruined, his new shoes filled with water; he was a picture of utter disarray.
And Mia was suffocating him with frustration; she had done it on purpose, and yet now played the part of a guilty child admitting a mistake?
It made him feel utterly helpless.
“Mia, can’t you stop causing trouble.” Seeing Yusuf Zuck’s pitiful state, Ruth Wilcox was actually a bit angry, angry at Mia.
That stingy Yusuf Zuck must be heartbroken over his clothes and shoes right now, wouldn’t he?
“Yusuf Zuck, come inside and change your clothes.” Ruth Wilcox took another set of new clothes for Yusuf Zuck out of the backpack and headed into the mansion.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” Mia stuck out her tongue apologetically.
“Don’t let it happen again.” Yusuf Zuck glared at Mia fiercely.
He only spared her because she was a woman.
Had it been a man, Yusuf Zuck would have kicked his teeth in by now.
He might have a temper and be quick to anger, but he never hit women.
“This is the bathroom, go in and take off your wet clothes, and wash your underwear yourself, just throw the outer clothes into the dry cleaner.” The mansion’s interior was exquisitely decorated and very large, with the bathroom and the restrooms separate and independent from each other.
Wilcox.” Yusuf Zuck took the set of new clothes and turned into the bathroom.
Just as he entered the bathroom, Mia suddenly came back from outside, taking two steps at a time, with a mischievous grin on her face.
Come here, I have something cool to show you.” With an excited squeal, she grabbed Ruth Wilcox’s hand and ran upstairs.
“What are you doing, what’s going on?” Ruth Wilcox was utterly confused.
What cool thing was there to see?
In the upstairs bedroom, a laptop was already open, and when Mia pulled Ruth Wilcox to sit at the computer desk, Ruth Wilcox immediately froze.
On the laptop screen was the downstairs bathroom, and displayed was Yusuf Zuck undressing, revealing a back full of tattoos—a vivid blue tiger descending a mountain.
“Uh, uh, that’s so like the Black Society!” Mia exclaimed in shock.
“Mia, what are you doing, how could you…
when did you set this up?” While speaking, Ruth Wilcox reached for the mouse to turn off the computer, but Mia grabbed her arm, exclaiming loudly again, “Look, there’s an Azure Dragon on the front, so cool, and also…
“Clack—” Finally, unable to take any more, Ruth Wilcox snapped the laptop shut.
She had only glanced briefly and had seen Yusuf Zuck taking off his underwear, that’s why Mia’s exaggerated shout of ‘rogue’.
But Ruth Wilcox, being a young lady, couldn’t stand this—her face turned so red it seemed almost to bleed.
