Chapter 11: Becoming One's Own Benefactor
Lu Lake Tianjing, the finest villa district in Jiang City.
After Tang Qinghua was brought here by Tang Xuan, confusion filled his face.
“What are you bringing me here for?”
“Obviously to buy a house. What else could it be?”
“Brother, don’t scare me!”
Tang Qinghua’s legs went weak.
“Do you know how much one building here costs?”
“No, but I definitely have enough money to buy it.”
“I’m planning to buy a place, and you and your family of three will all move in.”
Tang Qinghua looked at Tang Xuan in puzzlement.
“Although we get along pretty well, it’s not like you’d buy us a house to live in.”
Suddenly, Tang Qinghua seemed to realize something; his expression turned grim.
He grabbed Tang Xuan by the collar and shouted angrily, “Tell me, did you do something to betray me? My son...”
Knowing he had misunderstood, Tang Xuan hurriedly said, “Don’t be ridiculous. How can you suspect your own wife like that?”
“She suffered so much just to be with you, you know that, right?”
Tang Qinghua released Tang Xuan, his eyes vacant.
Since You Zhen came into his life, the hardships he had endured were countless.
She clearly could have chosen a better life.
“I… I also want to give her a good life, but…”
Tang Xuan explained, “I’m planning to be the godfather to your son, so I want to improve his life.”
Being his own son’s godfather.
This was the excuse Tang Xuan had wracked his brains to come up with.
Otherwise, if he were to be kind to them without reason, they would never accept it.
“Sigh.”
Seeing Tang Xuan sigh, Tang Qinghua asked confusedly, “Why are you sighing? You can’t have kids?”
“Yes, I’m infertile.”
Tang Qinghua’s eyes widened.
“So, by that logic, your future belongs to my son?”
Tang Xuan said helplessly, “Look at you, so limited in ambition.”
Tang Qinghua pushed Tang Xuan forward, saying, “Buy it, buy the biggest one. I want to see how many filthy bills you’ve got.”
They arrived at the sales office, where a salesperson approached them.
The professionalism of the big development was evident.
Although the two were plainly dressed, with no luxury brands on them, they were treated politely.
“Are you here to view the properties?”
“Yes.”
“All our units are ready, fully furnished, and move-in ready anytime.”
“Please feel free to let me know your requirements.”
“However, we require a capital verification before viewing.”
Introducing first, then setting conditions—this sequence made the request more palatable.
Tang Xuan pulled out a bank card and said, “The password is six eights.”
“Please wait a moment; I’ll get you some water.”
After the salesperson left, Tang Qinghua said, “Their attitude is really good. They even brought us water.”
Tang Xuan doubted that Tang Qinghua was completely naive.
“She has to find an excuse to leave. Would she really tell you to check if there’s money in the account?”
“Oh, you know a lot.”
“If she comes back with the water, it means the capital verification passed. If she comes empty-handed, it means we’ll be kicked out.”
Tang Qinghua worried, “We won’t get kicked out, right?”
Minutes later, the salesperson approached with a radiant smile.
“Why is she carrying a pot of tea?”
“I think her skirt got shorter too. It’s almost showing her upper thigh now; it was just above the knee earlier.”
Tang Xuan smiled and said, “That means the card holds enough funds for her to offer the best service.”
“Hello, my name is Yu Xin. I will be your exclusive agent from now on.”
“Lu Lake Tianjing is committed to providing every homeowner with royal treatment. If you have any requests for the layout, even after decoration, the company can make modifications according to your needs.”
Yu Xin sat opposite them, crossing her legs, her tight skirt appearing even shorter.
Tang Qinghua’s eyes were fixed on her.
Tang Xuan said, “Pull down your skirt. I’m not interested in that.”
Yu Xin’s expression immediately stiffened. She hadn’t expected such a lack of charm.
Standing up, Yu Xin awkwardly tugged her skirt down.
Seeing Tang Qinghua’s lingering gaze, Tang Xuan whispered a threat, “If you keep staring, I’ll tell You Zhen when we get home.”
Tang Qinghua’s eyes instantly cleared.
“Brother, I apologize first.”
Yu Xin led them to the largest and most luxuriously decorated villa.
“Damn, if I could live in a place like this, I’d be willing to be a millionaire.”
Tang Xuan found his biological father to be a bit foolish.
Soon, a plump woman clad entirely in designer brands entered the villa.
Upon seeing Tang Xuan and Tang Qinghua, she showed great displeasure.
“What’s the meaning of this? I’m here to see a house, why are there strangers?”
“Didn’t you know to clear the area in advance?”
The male salesperson looked timid.
“Sister Yang, I didn’t know anyone was here. I will ask them to leave now.”
“Yu Xin, take these two away. My client doesn’t want anyone else around when viewing the house.”
“Yang Tong, what’s wrong with you? Your client is a person, so are mine.”
Yang Tong had pursued Yu Xin but was rejected, and ever since, they had been at odds.
Driven by a ‘if I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it’ mentality, Yang Tong had often tried to undermine Yu Xin.
Yang Tong sneered upon hearing this, “Does your client have the purchasing power I have?”
“As long as Sister Yang likes this house, she can pay in full immediately.”
Looking at Tang Xuan and Tang Qinghua, Yang Tong laughed mockingly.
“Are these two actors you hired to meet your client quota? Dressed so poorly, can they really afford a multi-million property?”
“Yang Tong, what do you mean? Don’t insult my clients.”
“I just did. What are you going to do about it?”
“Should I call the manager and let him decide who’s qualified to view the property?”
Yu Xin’s eyes reddened trying to defend herself.
Tang Xuan spoke, “I’ll buy this house, full payment.”
Yu Xin was stunned; she hadn’t expected a deal to close so quickly.
But the plump woman was displeased, hands on her hips as she approached Tang Xuan.
“You say you’re buying it? Did I agree?”
“Who gave you the right to compete with me for this house?”
“I’ve set my sights on this one.”
Tang Xuan said helplessly, “Fatty, don’t you understand first-come, first-served?”
The word “fatty” was like a detonator; the plump woman exploded instantly.
She began smashing everything visibly inside the villa.
Vases, lamps, cups, decorations—nothing was spared.
When she tired, the woman sat on the floor and pulled out her phone.
“Honey, someone is bullying me. Come help me!”
She rolled and threw a tantrum on the ground.
“Two hammers! You insist on buying the house I want? Come help me get justice!”
