“If it’s not too much trouble, let’s go have a look,”
Yang Hao was indifferent, the house was there after all.
“It’s no trouble, it’s not too far from Star Cloud Bay.”
Xu Yanxia immediately took up on the suggestion, then gave her sister Xu Yanfen a meaningful glance: “Xiaofen, shall we go take a look?”
“Sure, we can also grab a meal at the shopping district there!” Xu Yanfen nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Guan Mengmeng was completely panicked: “You’re really going…”
She tugged at Yang Hao’s arm forcefully, meaning for him to intervene, but he gently patted her shoulder and soothed her: “Let’s go then, you can take a look too.”
Guan Mengmeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking: Big brother, aren’t you getting too into character!!
Take your script about being divorced with a kid, old and poor!!
Your character isn’t a wealthy tycoon!
Not a tycoon!!
Not a tycoon!!!
Ah ah ah, say the important things three times!
And when we’re bluffing, can we pick a cheaper house, so the second aunt won’t suggest checking it out.
You say Star Cloud Bay, who wouldn’t be curious!
Guan Mengmeng ranted inwardly, yet her pretend boyfriend for five hours appeared utterly calm, as if he indeed owned a mansion worth tens of millions.
If that had been true, Cousin and Brother Feng would have mentioned it long ago!
Moreover, if you were such a tycoon, how could your ex-wife become an ex-wife, and the one who dumped you at that!!
Which woman would leave a husband worth tens of millions!!
Could it be she found a billionaire??
But the woman’s demeanor just now didn’t seem like that of a billionaire’s wife…
Guan Mengmeng couldn’t fathom it, but the group had already taken the elevator down to the garage.
Guan Weimin owned a Toyota Camry, and the Xu sisters got into his car.
Second Uncle Feng Changfu, meanwhile, settled into the driver’s seat of his Ballet Cat, acting as the designated driver since Yang Hao and Guan Mengmeng had both been drinking and couldn’t drive.
“Yang, you’re not planning to take them to see a show flat, are you?”
Guan Mengmeng deliberately lagged behind to get into the car, pulling Yang Hao aside and whispering, this being the only solution she could think of.
“What show flat?”
“Of course, it’s my house!” Yang Hao shrugged nonchalantly.
“Hey hey, you can drop the act now!”
“It’s just the two of us who can hear!” Guan Mengmeng said, exasperated.
Yang sighed, sometimes being too low-key had this effect; you say you have a mansion worth tens of millions, and nobody believes you.
“All right!”
“I’ll lay it out for you, I’m a billionaire!”
Yang Hao said in the tone of Wang Duoyu.
“Er, you…”
Guan Mengmeng still found it hard to believe, thinking that Yang Hao was joking.
After all, he was quoting lines from a movie.
“`
“Mengmeng, Yang, get in the car quick!”
At this moment, Feng Changfu wound down his car window and called out to the two to get in.
“Okay!”
Yang Hao responded and directly took the passenger seat. Firstly, he could give directions, and secondly, he could avoid Guan Mengmeng continuing to dwell on this topic.
Consequently, the two cars drove out of the parking garage, one after the other, towards Star Cloud Bay.
Guan Mengmeng sat in the backseat of her car, feeling anxious.
She had the feeling of being in a prisoner transport heading to the execution grounds.
And Yang Hao was the executioner wielding the beheading sword!
Yet, that executioner was chatting merrily with Uncle Feng Changfu, without a trace of the tension one would feel when heading to an execution ground.
Uh…
He was the executioner!
Why the hell would he be nervous!!
Suddenly, Guan Mengmeng had an epiphany; even if she suffered a social death, it would be her own doing!
The executioner did not know her family; he could just pat his butt and leave…
He wouldn’t be that sinister, right!!
Subconsciously, Guan Mengmeng glanced towards the passenger seat, silently praying in her heart: Brother, I can be the one to put on a perfect ‘wave’ in front of your ex-wife!
Please be kind!
In the other car.
“Sis, do you think what Yang said is true?”
At this moment, Xu Yanfen’s feelings were quite complex. Having worked in the city’s Women’s Federation, she had come in contact with many powerful and influential people. Under the long-term influence of that environment, she inevitably harbored a yearning for power and status.
Naturally, she hoped her daughter could marry into such a family, but the more powerful the family, the more particular they were about matching social status, strengthening alliances with equal partners.
Compared to ordinary folks, their family enjoyed superior circumstances, but there was a huge gap from the upper class, where they couldn’t even touch the threshold.
However, now the prospective match her daughter brought home apparently owned a mansion worth tens of millions. If true, that would definitely place him in the powerful and influential class.
But his status as divorced with a child made her hesitate since her daughter, after all, had no experience in marriage, or even in dating.
To choose a divorced man with a child seemed somewhat unfair to her.
“I don’t think Yang is lying, he seems confident,” Xu Yanxia replied.
“What if he really is a millionaire worth tens of millions?” Xu Yanfen asked.
“What if?”
“Then of course marry him as soon as possible!”
“Yang is not so old, just over thirty, and since he has a daughter, if Mengmeng could give him a son, the rest of her life would be clothed in silk and fed with jade!” Xu Yanxia exclaimed.
“Sis, we can’t just look at the money!”
“Our Mengmeng is young, beautiful, well-educated, and there’s no worry about her finding a husband. Becoming a stepmother right after marriage is something we should consider carefully.” Guan Weimin, who was driving, challenged Xu Yanxia’s viewpoint.
“Hm, Weimin, you’re right!”
Xu Yanxia nodded, then laughed, “If you guys don’t fancy Yang, then offer him to our Nana!”
“I wouldn’t mind. Plus, Yang and our Nana are not far apart in age.”
Xu Yanfen was somewhat speechless, “Sis, doesn’t Nana have a boyfriend?”
“`
