Chapter 182 The House is Too Small!
"You, you... are asking for it!"
Li Yanyan's face burned with shame, about to strike out in anger at Qin Feng.
But Qin Feng's eyes glared sharply, like the blade of a knife, frightening her into stillness, forcing her to swallow her rage.
Qin Feng then continued to drive.
A moment later.
They picked up Li Yanyan's parents from the airport, Li Datong and Li Limei.
As soon as they got in the car, Li Yanyan couldn't help crying, complaining, "Dad, Mom, he hit me, look at my face, he slapped me!"
Li Datong and Li Limei immediately cursed at Qin Feng fiercely.
Qin Feng feigned innocence, saying, "No way, how could I possibly hit someone?"
They examined Li Yanyan's cheek further.
Finding no slap marks, they said, "Enough, we know you look down on this loser, but there's no need to stoop to his level."
"Yeah, how could he dare to hit you?" Li Datong said as well.
"I, I really was hit!"
Li Yanyan pointed at her own face, almost about to cry again.
What she didn't know was that although Qin Feng's slap was very painful, it was done with hidden skill, leaving no visible marks on the surface.
"By the way, how is your boyfriend doing?" her mother Li Limei asked.
This was what they were really concerned about.
Li Yanyan's boyfriend had been working for Rainbow Cosmetics Company in Lake City, while Li Limei and Li Datong, who looked down on the small place of Lake City, were reluctant about it at first.
But they heard recently her boyfriend was doing well, having been promoted to Design Director of the company, and with an annual salary plus bonuses, he made over a million.
The key was that he was very young, with a promising future.
So, they were eager to meet this future son-in-law.
"He's fine, told him we'll meet tonight."
Li Yanyan thought of her boyfriend and resentfully glared at Qin Feng, planning to have her boyfriend teach him a lesson later and get revenge for her!
"But, my aunt has booked a place at Wanfu Building, said she wanted to treat us, so I told him to postpone it by another day."
Li Yanyan added.
"Wanfu Building?!"
Her parents exchanged a look, surprised, "How can their family afford to dine at Wanfu Building?"
Wanfu Building can be said to be a landmark of Lake City.
Thus, they were not unfamiliar with it.
When Xu Yunxiao had just become the General Manager of Shuimu Company, they were in Lake City and wanted her to treat them to a meal at Wanfu Building to celebrate, but they absolutely refused to go.
It was later revealed that Xu Yunxiao, despite holding the position of General Manager, only had a salary of four thousand, with pitifully low annual bonuses.
"This is even better."
Li Limei's eyes lit up, "Let's invite your boyfriend to join us! It would be a waste of his money to treat us to another meal tomorrow, which is effectively wasting your money, and now we can go to Wanfu Building and save some money too."
"Yes, I think it's a great idea as well."
Li Datong also smiled.
A moment later.
Qin Feng drove and dropped them off at their place.
Mother-in-law Li Cuilan and father-in-law Xu Guosheng had cleaned the house spotlessly, greeting them warmly.
As soon as Li Limei walked in, she looked around and said, "Oh my, sister, how many years has it been, and you are still living in this house! We just bought a new apartment in Jiang City, 140 square meters, in a high-end community. This old neighborhood doesn't even have property management, how can people live here?"
Speaking of which.
She then turned to Li Yanyan and said, "Yanyan, after living here for two days, Mom really feels sorry for you."
"..."
Li Cuilan immediately felt depressed and awkwardly said, "We are also looking to buy a house soon, just haven't found the right one yet."
"Oh? Really? I heard the best community in Lake City is 'Cloud Peak', and the one that's just going to be developed, 'Water Cloud Gorge'. You must be buying in these two places, right?" Li Limei deliberately said.
"…Yes, indeed, we are choosing between these two places." Li Cuilan said.
"That's perfect, I have a friend who's a sales manager at 'Cloud Peak'. I'll call him right away and have him pick out an apartment for you with the best lighting and everything, and he can even give you a discount!" Li Limei said, reaching for her phone.
Li Cuilan was quick to stop her, stammering, "No, no rush, I'll peel an apple for you first."
She did want to buy, but frankly, she had no money.
Now that her daughter, Xu Yunxiao, had her own shares, her net worth was not insignificant either.
However, after absorbing Xu Yaqian's cosmetics company and repeatedly expanding its production scale, it was still in the investment and development stage, owing the bank a large sum of debt. How could she have money to buy a house?
Seeing her guilty look, Li Limei sneered and said to Li Datong, "I knew she was just pretending. How could she possibly afford a house? Let alone one at 'Cloud Peak'..."
Though she had spoken softly,
Li Cuilan still heard it.
Li Cuilan felt aggrieved.
In those days, when Xu Yunxiao, the number one beauty of Lake City, was also the target of wealthy young masters competing for her hand, marrying into a wealthy family seemed like a matter of time.
Back then, Li Limei and Li Datong would flatter her every day.
Ever since Qin Feng showed up.
Their attitude had changed.
So all of this was the fault of that loser, Qin Feng!
As Li Cuilan's feelings of dissatisfaction with Qin Feng grew stronger, she snapped, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you see guests have arrived? Completely oblivious, quickly go pour some tea, you good-for-nothing!"
"Hehehe..."
Seeing this, Li Limei laughed and said, "Sister, actually, I'm quite envious of you."
"Oh? Really?"
Li Cuilan finally cheered up a little and pricked up her ears.
"I've always envied you for having such a compliant son-in-law who neither talks back nor retorts when hit or cursed, so obedient, you even save money on hiring a maid." Li Limei continued.
"..."
Li Cuilan's face turned even more iron blue as she glared at Qin Feng, the resentment in her gaze growing. She secretly swore that she must make Qin Feng and Xu Yunxiao get a divorce!
...
Xu Mansion.
In the living room, grandma and the others all looked troubled and awkward as they watched Hang Chengzhi with a blue and swollen face.
Hang Chengzhi's eyes were filled with anger.
In the morning, Xu Changjian had called to say that there weren't any major issues, and that it would be fine to ask for Xu Yunxiao's hand in marriage on the fifteenth of August.
He thought he had already persuaded the Xu family about Xu Yunxiao and was thrilled.
His boss had ordered it, and he also lusted after Xu Yunxiao's body, so he rushed to find Xu Yunxiao first thing in the morning.
However.
He was cruelly rejected after confessing to Xu Yunxiao.
And that wasn't the end of it.
Just after he left Xu Yunxiao's Company, suddenly a bunch of people rushed over and beat him up.
"Hmph, tell me! How do you plan to explain this?" Hang Chengzhi asked coldly.
Everyone exchanged looks.
Although Hang Chengzhi was just a regional manager, he was not someone the Xu family could afford to offend. All of the Xu family's assets combined might not amount to over five billion, except for Shuimu Company, which had greatly increased in market value through their partnership with Haohan Company, the rest were just a bunch of fragmented small businesses.
But to them, Hengyuan Fourth Construction Group was a colossal entity worth over tens of billions.
So even though he was just responsible for the Lake City region, they did not dare to offend him.
"This…"
Grandma looked troubled.
Xu Changjian also hurried forward apologetically, "Mr. Hang, actually our plan is this..."
