Chapter 99: A Villa Worth Over One Hundred Million!
Seeing the saleswoman so nervous, fearing she might lose her job for offending Ye Chen, he waved his hand lightly and said, “It’s a small matter; I won’t hold a grudge against you.”
Then Ye Chen added, “By the way, why don’t you introduce these shortsighted folks to the details of the A05 villa?”
The saleswoman felt as if she had been granted a reprieve and hurriedly told the others, “Our Tangchen Yipin villa area is divided into four types: A, B, C, and D. The most scarce is the A-type, which has the largest area. The A-type has three floors above ground and two underground, with a private elevator inside. The total usable area exceeds one thousand square meters, and it also comes with hundreds of square meters of front and back courtyards. The price exceeds one hundred million RMB, making it the most expensive villa in Tangchen Yipin and even in the entire Jinling!”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was left speechless!
A villa priced over a hundred million, equivalent to ten or more three-bedroom apartments, and here was Ye Chen, dressed quite ordinarily, somehow owning such a super luxury home?
Xiao Hailong’s expression was extremely grim, while his sister and parents were nearly going mad with jealousy!
Xiao Weiwei incredulously questioned, “Ye Chen! How could you possibly have a villa here?!”
Ye Chen smiled faintly and replied, “Someone gifted it to me; is that not allowed?”
“On what basis!” Xiao Weiwei was infuriated. She had always aspired to live in such a luxurious villa but had never had the chance. Why did Ye Chen get to live here?
Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond to her. Instead, he looked at her brother, Xiao Hailong, and said with a smile, “Hailong, weren’t you going to jump off a building? When are you jumping?”
Xiao Hailong’s face turned ashen, his expression extremely ugly. Clenching his fists, he said, “Ye Chen, stop talking nonsense with me. I still don’t believe you can afford this villa! I also don’t believe anyone would gift you a villa! Unless you tell me how you got this villa!”
Ye Chen shook his head with a smile and said to the people around, “See? This is what it means to be unable to accept defeat.”
After saying that, he turned to Xiao Hailong and said, “Xiao Hailong, with your limited abilities, you can only afford a regular high-rise apartment, serving as a shield for people like us who live in villas. You are not worthy of living in a villa, nor are you worthy of knowing how I got my villa. Just know that this is a place you will never be able to afford in your lifetime!”
“You…”
Xiao Hailong’s face was extremely ugly.
Being insulted by Ye Chen like this was a first for him, but what was most frustrating was that he couldn’t even retort!
How could he? His family was considering buying a 240-square-meter apartment, which was already a financial strain, while Ye Chen had the largest villa here. The gap was simply too vast!
It could be said that he had been thoroughly mocked by Ye Chen! It made him furious!
He gritted his teeth and said with a dark face, “Ye Chen, you really have some skills, getting such a large villa without even informing the family. Do you even care about the Xiao family?”
Ye Chen smiled and said, “Haven’t you always said I’m not a member of the Xiao family? So why should I inform you?”
At this point, Ye Chen turned to Xiao Churan and said, “Wife, since we’re here, why don’t we go check out our new villa?”
Xiao Churan blurted out, “What… exactly is going on?”
Ye Chen replied casually, “I’ll explain it to you slowly later.”
Just as he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
“Hey, big brother and sister-in-law, are you here to buy a house at Tangchen Yipin? That’s really impressive!”
The speaker was none other than Ye Chen’s mother-in-law, Ma Lan!
Along with Ma Lan was Ye Chen’s father-in-law, Xiao Changkun!
Ye Chen and Xiao Churan were both surprised; how did they end up here?
Xiao Churan hurriedly stepped forward to ask, “Mom and Dad, what brings you here?”
Ma Lan said, “Your uncle and aunt called us, saying they wanted to look at houses at Tangchen Yipin and asked us to come help them with some ideas.”
As Ma Lan said this, her gaze turned to Ye Chen, feeling somewhat annoyed.
She actually didn’t want to come at all because she had just argued with her daughter yesterday, expressing her desire to move out of their old house. Unexpectedly, today she received a call from the Xiao family, asking her and her husband to accompany them to look at houses.
What house? They just wanted to show off that they were buying at Tangchen Yipin!
Ma Lan felt upset but, not daring to offend the Xiao family’s eldest, could only accompany her husband as a supporting role.
This was why she was so displeased with Ye Chen; if she had found a capable son-in-law, perhaps she could also live in Tangchen Yipin!
At this moment, she looked at her sister-in-law Qian Hongyan with a flattering expression and sighed, “Sister-in-law, you are truly impressive! In the blink of an eye, you’ve bought a house at Tangchen Yipin! I’m really envious! I wonder when our family will be able to afford such a luxurious house at Tangchen Yipin! You bought a 240-square-meter one? I doubt our family could save that much money in fifty years!”
Although she was quite displeased with the eldest family, Ma Lan knew she had to flatter them, so she started with a series of compliments.
Xiao Hailong’s mother, Qian Hongyan, had an extremely ugly expression. She glared at Ma Lan and coldly said, “Ma Lan, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on people?”
Qian Hongyan was nearly exploding with anger!
She had wanted to invite Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan over to witness her buying a luxury home at Tangchen Yipin, to boost her own presence and take the opportunity to mock them.
But unexpectedly, her son-in-law was capable! He had actually acquired a luxury villa at Tangchen Yipin!
This truly infuriated her, and she was also extremely jealous.
Now that Ma Lan had come and deliberately praised her for buying a 240-square-meter apartment, wasn’t that a clear mockery?
You have a villa worth over a hundred million, yet you say you’re envious of me? You say you can’t afford such a luxurious house? Isn’t that insulting?
Ma Lan had no idea what was going on. She came in flattering Qian Hongyan, only to be accused of looking down on people. She felt wronged; she was trying to flatter you, and you still think I look down on you? Do I need to kneel to show respect?
So, Ma Lan hurriedly continued to flatter, “Oh sister-in-law, compared to you, I’m like a candle next to the sun, so far behind! How could I dare to look down on you? Just look at how fortunate you are, about to live in Tangchen Yipin, while I’m still stuck in a rundown little house. Oh, our little broken house is truly shabby and dilapidated; how could it compare to your Tangchen Yipin? So of course, I envy you!”
Qian Hongyan was even more furious at these words, so angry she couldn’t even speak.
Beside her, her husband Xiao Changqian gritted his teeth and scolded, “Ma Lan, is it fun to beat around the bush like this? So what if you got a villa? Why are you acting so proud?”
After saying that, he looked at his brother Xiao Changkun and coldly said, “Changkun, do you and your wife even consider me, your elder brother? Do you even think about our mother? Such a big deal as a villa, and you didn’t even inform the family?”
Xiao Changkun was stunned: “Villa? What villa? Brother, are you buying a villa? Do you have money?”
