Chapter 242 A mere 1 million
The Liu family's living room was a mess, with people lying haphazardly on the floor, all wincing in pain and groaning in agony. The Wang family head had been taken away, and the Liu family members had all suffered injuries to varying degrees. This was a profound lesson from Xiao Chen for their attempt to force their master's wife.
With things having come to this point, Liu Yue and Zhen Suxin could no longer stay in the Liu family and had no choice but to leave. Although Zhen Suxin had worked hard and seemed to have a glamorous life in the Liu family, everything she had actually came from the Liu family. Now that she had left the Liu family, she was almost instantly left with nothing, and she became somewhat depressed as a result.
"Junior sister, mistress, you don't need to worry, I'll take care of everything," Xiao Chen said with a confident smile and a firm tone.
"Okay..." Zhen Suxin merely forced a smile, a perfunctory twitch at the corners of her mouth. Clearly, she didn't have high expectations for Xiao Chen. After all, Xiao Chen had previously relied on her to arrange work and lived in the company's dormitory. Although the power Xiao Chen had displayed at the Liu family's house seemed to indicate he had considerable influence, given the potential for murder, Zhen Suxin found it hard to believe the circle he belonged to.
"Mom, let's rent a small house in the suburbs and make do for now..." Zhen Suxin said helplessly to Liu Yue. Over the years, she had worked diligently for the Liu family, but in reality, she hadn't received much in return. Her hard work was only to gain the Liu family's approval, yet she was ultimately ruthlessly excluded. Now, she didn't have much money in her bank account, barely enough to make ends meet.
"With me here, how can I let you suffer?" Xiao Chen said seriously.
After saying that, he raised his hand and hailed a taxi.
"Where are we going?" Zhen Suxin asked, puzzled.
"Of course, we're going to buy a house," Xiao Chen replied with a smile. He was focused on properly settling his junior sister and master's wife, ensuring they could live a comfortable life.
"You...you have the money to buy a house?" Zhen Suxin was full of doubt, finding it hard to believe Xiao Chen's words. After all, this was the capital, where land was incredibly valuable and housing prices were ridiculously high.
"It's just buying a house, it won't cost much." Xiao Chen said casually, and gently pushed the mother and daughter into the car.
"Driver, take me to the most upscale sales office in the entire western district," Xiao Chen said to the driver.
Upon hearing this, the driver immediately perked up, stepped on the gas, and the car sped off like an arrow. Before long, he had delivered the three to their destination.
“Xijiang Huafu…” Xiao Chen looked at the magnificent sales office in front of him, decorated like a palace, and murmured the name.
"Xiao Chen, are you sure you want to buy a house here?" Zhen Suxin asked, her face full of surprise and doubt. She knew very well that this was the most high-end residential complex in the entire western district, with prices far exceeding those of ordinary prime locations. It focused on high-end luxury, catering to the ultra-wealthy, and was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Xiao Chen, there's really no need for that. You can just find a place to rent and live anywhere," Liu Yue couldn't help but advise.
"Since you're already here, why don't you go in and take a look?" Xiao Chen persuaded them gently, and after some persuasion, he finally convinced the two to enter the sales office.
"Sir, ladies, are you here to look at apartments? This way, please." A pretty saleswoman greeted them warmly with a professional smile.
"Zhen Suxin!" Before she had taken more than a few steps, a joyful shout suddenly came from the side. A handsome young man in an expensive suit strode towards Zhen Suxin.
"Surely it's so hard to see you, campus belle Su Xin. I've asked you out so many times before, but you were always busy. What brings you here today? Are you here to look at apartments?" the young man teased, half-jokingly.
"Wu Tao, long time no see." Zhen Suxin smiled somewhat awkwardly.
Xiao Chen glanced at the young man and frowned slightly. Without much thought, he could guess that Wu Tao must have once pursued Zhen Suxin; he could tell from the way Wu Tao looked at Zhen Suxin and some subtle expressions.
"This must be your auntie. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful. Her charm is in no way inferior to Su Xin's. No wonder they are mother and daughter, their genes are simply outstanding!" Wu Tao was very good at talking and made Liu Yue feel comfortable as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liu Yue smiled and responded softly.
"And this is..." Wu Tao turned his gaze to Xiao Chen, raising his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with scrutiny.
“His name is Xiao Chen, and he’s the future husband that Su Xin’s father has chosen for her,” Liu Yue said meaningfully. She had keenly sensed Zhen Su Xin’s aversion to Wu Tao and said this on purpose.
"Mom!" Zhen Suxin exclaimed in surprise, completely unexpected that her mother would suddenly say such a thing.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao's expression froze, and his face turned somewhat grim. He had pursued Zhen Suxin for three whole years on campus and hadn't given up even after graduation, yet he had never won the favor of his goddess. Where did this seemingly unsophisticated young man come from? How could Zhen Suxin possibly be interested in him? He came from a prestigious family and was excellent in every way; how could he be inferior to this kid?
"Suxin, is this true?" Wu Tao asked, unwilling to give up.
"I guess so..." Zhen Suxin hesitated for a moment. She wanted to explain, but then felt it was unnecessary. Letting the misunderstanding remain might make Wu Tao back down. That would be fine too.
"This brother is really lucky..." Wu Tao forced a smile, but the smile looked extremely unnatural.
"We're here to buy a house," Xiao Chen said bluntly, unimpressed by Wu Tao's attitude.
"Really?" A strange light flashed in Wu Tao's eyes. He gestured for the female saleswoman next to him to step aside and personally greeted Xiao Chen and his two companions.
"The three of you, please follow me." With that, he walked towards the model of the property in the sales office.
"Our Xijiang Huafu is a high-end residential complex, and each apartment is quite expensive, often costing tens of millions. Mr. Xiao is so young yet so capable; no wonder he has won Su Xin's favor." Wu Tao's words were ostensibly teasing and flattering, but they carried a hint of sourness and sarcasm. In his heart, he felt he was far superior to Xiao Chen, and that Zhen Su Xin was simply blind to have chosen him.
“Mr. Xiao, our development has a special rule: we only accept full payment and do not offer mortgages,” Wu Tao added.
"Do you think I can't afford it?" Xiao Chen looked at Wu Tao coldly.
"How could that be? How could someone Su Xin has her eye on be lacking in ability?" Wu Tao said with a forced smile. "However, with Mr. Xiao's abilities, he should be looking at the villa." He was clearly trying to provoke him, while also subtly mocking him.
"Then why don't you take me to see the villa? What are you wasting time here for?" Xiao Chen said with displeasure.
Wu Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "This guy is really good at pretending. I'll see how long he can keep up this act..." Then, his face regained its smile, and he walked to the villa model.
"Mr. Xiao, the villas in our Xijiang Huafu are all uniquely designed and of top quality. The cheapest one is forty million. Would you like to take a look?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand casually.
"No need to look anymore, just bring me the contract. I want the most expensive one."
Upon hearing this, Wu Tao's smile froze instantly, almost causing him to lose his composure. He never expected this kid to still be putting on a brave face. He wanted to see just how far this kid could go in his act, refusing to admit defeat until he was faced with a death sentence.
"Bring me the contract," Wu Tao gestured to the female salesperson next to him.
"Xiao Chen, are you crazy?" Zhen Suxin was terrified. "Do you know how much the most expensive villa in Xijiang Huafu costs? It's over 100 million yuan a unit!"
Although the West District is located on the edge of the capital, a villa worth hundreds of millions of yuan is considered astronomical in the entire West District.
Wu Tao took the contract from the female saleswoman and slammed it down in front of Xiao Chen with a "smack," while simultaneously handing a pen to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen didn't even look at it, picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract without hesitation.
Zhen Suxin felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted. One hundred million! Where would that come from? This contract wasn't something to be signed lightly! Xiao Chen was just a security guard at Creative Company; how could he possibly come up with one hundred million all at once?
“Mr. Xiao, the contract has been signed, and this 100 million must be paid in full at once. Do you know what the consequences will be if you can’t pay?” Wu Tao seemed like a different person at this moment, his face revealing a cold glint as he spoke aggressively.
"What consequences?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"Hand them over to the authorities and sentence them to a severe punishment!" Wu Tao emphasized, enunciating each word clearly, while simultaneously giving a wink to the doorway. Several security guards at the door immediately moved closer to them.
"You're looking down on people." Xiao Chen sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
Wu Tao's face instantly turned gloomy, and the cold light in his eyes completely turned into a fierce light.
"It's just a mere hundred million. To me, it's just small change," Xiao Chen said calmly.
