“Gao Jiu?” Xue An smiled faintly, “I don’t have a job!”
“Oh….” Lin Huan dragged out the tone meaningfully, feeling even more disdainful.
So, he’s just some layabout at home.
“What do you usually do at home, then?”
“Just spending time with the kids, cooking, enjoying the view and stuff like that! ” Xue An said indifferently.
Lin Huan and his colleagues exchanged knowing looks.
It seemed this guy was just a good-for-nothing after all.
Then Lin Huan glanced at his watch deliberately.
“Dr. Lin, that watch must have cost a pretty penny!” one of Lin Huan’s colleagues asked.
“It’s alright, just about two hundred thousand or so. I was in a rush coming out today, so I just brought this ordinary watch!” Lin Huan said indifferently.
Luo Jing came over with a dreamy look on her face. “Dr. Lin, I heard your family bought you a house at Yunmeng Villa?”
Lin Huan nodded with an air of arrogance, “Yeah, just bought it a few days ago!
Spent tens of millions on it!”
At this, the people around started to get restless.
“I’ve heard that you can’t just buy a house at Yunmeng Villa with money alone!”
Lin Huan smiled slightly, “Of course, my father had to put in a lot of effort and eventually had to pay a lot of money for favors to get a friend of the Qin Family to sell it to us!”
The Qin Family!
When Lin Huan mentioned this name, his expression became even more respectful.
As for the others, they were filled with envy and amazement.
That’s the Qin Family we’re talking about!
A wealthy family many people can only look up to!
The fact that Lin Huan’s family could make a connection with the Qin Family clearly showed they were no ordinary household!
“Since we are here at Yunmeng Lake, I’ll take you all to take a look at my place later!” Lin Huan said loudly.
“Great!” Luo Jing cheered first.
Now looking at Lin Huan, her eyes were so fervent they seemed almost fiery. Lin Huan, however, ignored Luo Jing and turned to Tang Xuan’er, “Xuan’Er, come to my villa later. I have a bottle of French wine a friend gave me that you can’t buy on the market. You should try it then!”
Tang Xuan’er didn’t speak and kept looking at Xue An.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Sure, I’m bored anyway. Might as well try Dr. Lin’s wine.”
Lin Huan felt more resentful in his heart, and his gaze toward Xue An grew darker.
This guy, he really doesn’t know when to back off.
I need to think of a way to make him retreat.
A beauty like Tang Xuan’er should only belong to someone like me, Lin Huan thought secretly.
Luo Jing was also very uncomfortable at this time, staring at Tang Xuan’er with full-faced jealousy, wishing she could devour her right then.
So, after playing by the lake for a while, when it was almost noon, everyone got into their cars and headed straight for Yunmeng Villa.
Security here was indeed strict. Even though Lin Huan showed his key to prove he was the owner, they were still checked one car at a time.
But when it came to Xue An’s turn, Luo Jing deliberately hid to one side, ready to see Tang Xuan’er and the others make a fool of themselves.
However, once Xue An rolled down the window, the guard saw that it was Xue An and others, first froze, then immediately snapped to attention.
“I have seen Xue…”
Xue An waved his hand, and the guard swallowed the rest of his words.
Luo Jing was puzzled. What’s going on?
Why did the guard give such a salute?
Could it be…
This Xue An knows this guard?
It must be so!
Maybe the two of them are even colleagues! Luo Jing felt in her heart that this reasoning was bulletproof.
When they entered Yunmeng Villa, many people let out bursts of amazement.
“My god, it’s so beautiful! There are even flowers blooming in this season!”
“These are all cultivated by a master gardener, naturally they wouldn’t fear the cold!”
And when everyone arrived at the villa Lin Huan had bought, many faces were full of astonishment.
Lin Huan said with pride, “This is my home now, everyone come on in!”
This villa was located on the edge of Yunmeng Villa, the location wasn’t the best, but the surrounding environment and facilities were already quite impressive.
Once they entered, many were dazzled.
“These materials for the decor, they were all shipped directly from Europe, just the decoration alone cost over ten million!” Lin Huan introduced proudly, attempting to see a trace of surprise on Xue An’s face.
But from beginning to end, Xue An’s face remained calm, which filled Lin Huan with a sense of defeat.
This country bumpkin must be scared silly, Lin Huan thought to himself.
When lunchtime arrived, Lin Huan had prepared early, specifically buying lots of high-end ingredients and even hired a few chefs who were busy for half a day, finally presenting a table full of exquisite dishes.
“Xuan’er, come, try this, it’s steak shipped from Europe!” Lin Huan introduced solicitously.
Tang Xuan’er took a light taste, then slightly furrowed her brows.
Ever since she had tasted Xue An’s cooking, any other delicacies just felt like chewing on wax.
At that moment, Luo Jing finally couldn’t hold back her sneer, “What are you pretending to be a princess for? You probably haven’t even seen such things before, given you’re with a pauper!”
Her words were starkly naked, causing many to change color.
Tang Xuan’er’s face was filled with rage, while Xue An remained calm.
That’s when Xue Xiang suddenly asked, “Daddy, what is a pauper?”
This question made many cover their mouths and laugh.
Especially Luo Jing and Lin Huan, they felt extremely satisfied, and couldn’t help but let a smile form on their lips.
Your own daughter is asking that, let’s see how you answer.
Xue An couldn’t help but respond with a smile, first stroking Xue Xiang’s little head, then lightly pointing at the furnishings around, he said indifferently, “This… is called a pauper!”
The statement was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shocking many into a stunned silence.
Luo Jing was the first to recover, laughing scornfully, “Wow, the things people say these days, not afraid of their tongues getting blown off by the wind.” Lin Huan’s face turned an ashen color, sneering, “What do you mean by that?” Xue An shook his head, “Sorry! I may not have made myself clear just now.” Lin Huan’s expression eased a bit, thinking Xue An was about to apologize.
But who would have thought, Xue An continued, “Your place isn’t considered a pauper’s dwelling, after all… a real pauper has self-awareness! And you, you don’t even have that!”
This comment nearly caused Lin Huan to have a stroke out of anger.
Luo Jing sneered, “According to that, Mister here must have a home that’s even more luxurious and valuable!”
In truth, Xue An had not intended to ridicule Lin Huan, because in his eyes, not only was this place the dwelling of a pauper, the entire Beijiang, or even the whole Earth, there was no place that wasn’t poor.
On those planets rich with resources, within those Sects that held the vast majority of resources, the lives people led were beyond the imagination of Earth’s inhabitants.
However, in comparison, this villa indeed couldn’t even match up to a toilet in the number one mansion.
At this time, Xue Xiang chimed in ahead, “Anyway, my home is much, much bigger than this place!”
“Bigger means more valuable? This is Yunmeng Villa!” Luo Jing said sarcastically.
Lin Huan also sneered, “Well then, since that’s the case, why don’t we have a look at Mr. Xue’s place to see what isn’t called a pauper’s dwelling?” Originally, Lin Huan thought Xue An wouldn’t dare to agree.
But unexpectedly, Xue An nodded, “That’s fine!”
“How are we going? By car? If it’s too far I won’t go, what if it’s in some backwater place, wouldn’t that be dirty and dangerous?” Luo Jing said.
Xue An shook his head, “No need to take a car, we can walk there!”
