Reachable by foot?
Lin Huan and the others looked at each other, puzzled.
This place is located in the suburbs, and the nearest village is also four or five miles away.
Could it be…?
A thought emerged in Lin Huan’s mind, but was immediately dismissed by himself.
Impossible!
He had definitely thought too much.
Those who can buy a house in Yunmeng Villa, who isn’t a well-known figure?
He had never met him, so there was no way he lived in Yunmeng Villa.
Thinking this, Lin Huan’s expression became more relaxed, “Well then, let’s go and see what Mr. Xue’s home looks like.”
Xue An paid no attention to him and left the house by himself.
The rest followed behind.
After walking for a while, Xue An turned and headed straight for the small hill.
The more Lin Huan walked, the weirder his expression became, and the more disdain he showed towards Xue An.
If he didn’t know the owner of any other house, this one located at the top of the small hill, Number One Tian Villa, he knew all too well.
This was the unique hillside villa of the entire Yunmeng Villa, with a unique geographical location.
It was said that a tycoon from Zhongdu had offered a sky-high price for it, but the Qin family refused to sell.
It was said that the Qin family patriarch intended to keep it for himself to live in.
And this man, no matter what, could not possibly be one of the Qin family, leaving only one possibility, that he was using it to fool those who knew no better.
A pity… you’ve met me! A smug smile appeared on the corners of Lin Huan’s mouth.
Watch how I expose you later!
After reaching the top of the hill, the grandeur and presence of Number One Tian Villa awed everyone.
Including Lin Huan, it was everyone’s first time seeing such a villa. Compared to it, his own villa could only be considered barely habitable. “This is where we live with our Papa!” Xue Xiang said with pride.
Many people started to look at Xue An differently.
Could he really be a hidden rich second generation?
But just then, Lin Huan stepped forward with a sneer, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have no say over the other villas, but as for this Number One Tian Villa, everyone in Yunmeng Villa knows that this is a place where Old Master Qin intends to live himself. It’s not possible that Mr. Xue is Old Master Qin, right?”
Upon hearing this, many people suddenly realized the truth.
Then they all showed faces full of contempt and disdain.
At this moment, Lin Huan looked at Xue An with a triumphant expression and said, “Now let me guess, what does Mr. Xue do here? A cook? Or maybe a driver?”
Xue An just smiled lightly, “What do you think?”
Lin Huan sneered, “No matter what, this villa can’t possibly be yours!”
“You’re talking nonsense, this was a gift from Aunt Qin Yu to my Papa!” Xue Xiang said with an aggrieved face.
“Qin Yu? The young lady of the Qin family? Your Papa knows the young lady of the Qin family? Little girl, lying is not a good thing, you know!” Lin Huan said with a laugh.
He thought he had won, this Xue seemed to be just posing, but unfortunately, he had met him. Now let’s see how you stand before Tang Xuan’er!
But just as Lin Huan was basking in self-satisfaction, a calm and authoritative voice came from behind the group.
“Mr. Xue, are you still finding the place to your liking?”
Everyone turned around and saw a middle-aged man ascending from the foot of the mountain. This man had a dignified face, a composed demeanor, and an imposing aura without showing anger.
It was Qin Yuan.
Xue An nodded slightly, “It’s alright! Just that this mountain felt a bit too low, I raised it by more than a hundred meters!”
Qin Yuan had felt something was off while climbing the hill, it wasn’t this tall usually. Hearing Xue An’s comment, he couldn’t hide his astonishment.
It was the first time he heard of a mountain being raised!
But at this moment, in Qin Yuan’s eyes, Xue An was as good as an immortal, so it was only a fleeting surprise.
However, Lin Huan did not recognize Qin Yuan, seeing another man interacting with Xue An, he sneered, “Wow, what a drama, even with a partner!”
Qin Yuan frowned and gave Lin Huan a look.
“Who are you?”
Lin Huan said with a proud face, “I am the owner of Yunmeng Villa, this guy claims that the Number One Tian Villa is his, but I exposed him!”
Exposed?
Qin Yuan glanced at the indifferent Xue An and then understood what was going on, and couldn’t help saying, “Then who do you say the Number One Tian Villa belongs to?”
“Haha, who doesn’t know that the Number One Tian Villa is the residence left by Old Master Qin for his own use! He actually used it to commit fraud, which is truly laughable!”
Luo Jing and the others all burst into laughter.
Amid this laughter, Qin Yuan said coldly, “That’s right, the Number One Tian Villa was originally kept for my own use, but now I have gifted it to Mr. Xue. Is there a problem with that?”
The entire place fell silent.
Then Lin Huan sneered, “You gave it to him? What a joke, what are you?” “And what are you?” A cold voice laden with anger came through.
Qin Yu walked up from the foot of the mountain, her pretty face full of rage.
Lin Huan didn’t recognize Qin Yuan, but he did recognize Qin Yu, and upon seeing her, his whole person froze.
Qin Yu first approached and said respectfully, “Mr. Xue, an honor to meet you!”
Xue An nodded indifferently.
Then Qin Yu called out to Qin Yuan, “Grandfather!” Grandfather!
The only person that could be called so by Qin Yu.
It was none other than the chairman of Longtai Group, the Family Head of the Qin Family, Qin Yuan.
Lin Huan felt as if a bomb had gone off in his head, and his face instantly turned pale.
How is this possible?
Why would this seemingly ordinary and unremarkable man be addressed so respectfully by the Qin Family as Mr. Xue?
And Luo Jing, who had always looked down on Xue An and used this to mock Tang Xuan’Er for her lack of judgment, now felt so jealous her eyes turned green.
If even the Qin Family treated this man with such respect, his status must be extremely high. Compared to him, Lin Huan was nothing!
But it didn’t end there.
Today’s Number One Tian Villa was particularly lively; on the small mountain path, an old man with snowy white hair and a young girl, tall and elegant, were walking up.
As they approached, Lin Huan, Luo Jing, and the rest were stunned.
It was none other than Hua Xingyu and Hua Tingting, grandfather and granddaughter.
In the medical community of Beijiang, they were master-level figures.
This pair walked straight past the crowd, as though they were a puff of air.
Then Hua Xingyu gave a respectful bow to Xue An, like a student to a teacher,
“Mr. Xue, an honor to meet you!”
The crowd fell into a deathly silence, including those who had just been mocking Xue An. Now, they all felt as though they had been slapped hard across the face.
Lin Huan shivered; he finally understood why, from the beginning to the end, Xue An always had that faint smile on his lips.
It turned out he was mocking Lin Huan’s ignorance.
At that moment, Qin Yu turned her head to Lin Huan and said coldly, “Who did you just say it was?”
The chill in her voice made Lin Huan shiver, and he stammered, “Qin… Miss
Qin, I really didn’t know he was the old master, Qin…”
Qin Yu stepped forward and demanded coldly, “This villa was unconditionally gifted by our Qin Family to Mr. Xue, so what are you? Who are you to question
Lin Huan was speechless, only able to mutter, “I… I was wrong!” Qin Yu’s eyebrows rose in anger, wanting to say something else. But Xue An waved his hand, “Forget it!”
Lin Huan and Luo Jing and the others as if hearing heavenly music.
It seems this guy is quite reasonable! Lin Huan secretly rejoiced in his heart.
“Now that everyone knows they’re wrong, what’s the use of wasting words? Let them kneel and leave down the mountain,” Xue An said indifferently..
