Chapter 401: Chapter 235: Head Buzzing (Part 3)

’Does he have a habit of buying things in bulk? When he buys a shopping center, he buys a bunch of them. When he buys hotels, he buys two at once. And now, even with villas, he’s buying six of them!’

’Okay, the value of a villa is nowhere near the first two, but those were commercial investments. You can’t just lump them all together.’

He didn’t even know how he got downstairs. Xiao Chen kept trying to talk to him the whole way, but he didn’t register a single word she said.

’When will I ever reach President Chen’s level, buying villas like they’re groceries?’

’No wonder everyone in the sales office started treating me differently the moment they heard I was related to President Chen. A minute ago, no one would give me the time of day. Now, it’s like I’ve become everyone’s precious darling.’

Seeing Zhao Hui and Xiao Chen walk over, Mr. Zhao, the uncle, and the others took a few steps forward to greet them. But before they could even speak, Xiao Chen had already called out in a gentle and friendly voice, "Sir, Ma’am, and you, miss. Let me show you to the house!"

Zhao Hui had picked one of the six villas that was on the edge.

He wasn’t quite sure what President Chen’s intention was in buying six villas. He even found himself wondering if one of them might be for President Xu.

He couldn’t help but think about it. After all, with Chen Xiao’s current status and wealth, it would be normal for him to have a few female confidantes. Choosing a villa on the edge was also a way to be discreet.

As the group followed Xiao Chen, the uncle remarked to Mr. Zhao, "This high-end community has great service. So enthusiastic! We’re just here to pick up a house, and the sales staff is escorting us the whole way!"

Mr. Zhao didn’t understand why either, since this wasn’t really a salesperson’s job.

They followed Xiao Chen as she explained the layout of the community. The uncle and the others listened, completely mesmerized. ’This isn’t a place for humans to live; this is clearly the Immortal Palace!’

"Brother-in-law, from now on you’ll really be living the high life!"

Mr. Zhao was happy inside, but he said modestly, "This is all thanks to Xiangjun."

The uncle said, "Isn’t that the truth! I’ve always been especially fond of that girl, Xiangjun. I never thought she’d become so successful. My affection for her wasn’t wasted!"

Mr. Zhao glanced at him but said nothing. ’Affection wasn’t wasted? How could he even say that? Was making Xiangjun treat him to dinner or buy him clothes his way of doting on her?’

It was only because that girl, Xiangjun, was so kind. She knew that if she didn’t buy things for her uncle, Mrs. Zhao would secretly help her own brother out. To avoid adding to her mother’s burden, Xiangjun had silently shouldered it all.

When they reached the villa, Xiao Chen took the keys from Zhao Hui and opened the main gate.

The uncle was instantly dumbfounded. "This... this..."

Zhao Hui said, "Let’s go, Uncle. Head on in!"

The uncle was speechless.

He dazedly followed them into the private courtyard. When Xiao Chen opened the front door and they stepped inside, they were greeted by an interior as magnificent and luxurious as a castle.

Everyone was stunned.

Even Chen Xiao had been impressed by the luxury and meticulous detail when he first came inside, let alone this family. They were used to living in resettlement communities, people so frugal they wouldn’t even replace the cheap, developer-installed windows.

’This is a villa... a huge villa... over 600 square meters... Am I really allowed in here?’

The uncle asked his wife, but she was in an even worse state than he was. After entering the villa and seeing the furnishings, she walked on eggshells, terrified she might bump into something and break it.

"Brother-in-law, you guys are going to live here from now on?"

Mr. Zhao was doing a bit better, having mentally prepared himself to some extent. He nodded and said, "If you have time, you can come stay the night. There are plenty of rooms, after all."

"Whoa, there’s an elevator inside!"

Having a private elevator in a home was something unimaginable in the uncle’s world.

Zhao Hui and Wang Yan toured the house. Wang Yan was thrilled beyond words.

’We’re really going to live like a prince and princess from now on!’ she thought. ’All my efforts to be nice to Zhao Xiangjun lately have really paid off!’

Before, she had treated Zhao Xiangjun like a typical sister-in-law, never hesitating to ask her to do any chore. Now, she treated Zhao Xiangjun like a queen. If Xiangjun ever came home and started doing housework, Wang Yan would immediately rush to take over, refusing to let her lift a finger.

"Oh, brother-in-law, this place will be great for playing cards, huh?"

"There’s a home theater too?"

"Wow, and this huge terrace! Drinking tea and chatting up here... this is the life of the gods!"

Watching the family’s reactions, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but wonder how a distinguished man like President Chen, with his refined air, could have such unsophisticated, poor relatives.

Since she had brought them to the villa, she decided to take her leave and return to work.

Zhao Hui thanked her for her help and walked her out.

Just then, the uncle said to Mr. Zhao, "For Chen Xiao to buy a villa for you to live in... that’s some real filial piety. Truly rare!"

Mr. Zhao, who didn’t know Chen Xiao had bought six villas, was also very moved. He thought about how they were living in Bihu Twin Seals, yet had given the best house to his family.

Xiao Chen, who was listening off to the side, thought about correcting them but decided against it. ’It’s President Chen’s family business, after all,’ she thought. ’I don’t know the full situation, so I shouldn’t butt in.’

The family walked Xiao Chen all the way to the villa’s main gate. "It’s windy out here," Xiao Chen said quickly. "Please, go back inside."

Just then, Mr. Zhao noticed some workers up ahead and asked curiously, "Haven’t the homes in this community already been handed over? Why is there still construction going on?"

Xiao Chen explained, "It’s because these six villas are being connected to form a single, private compound. It requires some external modifications."

Connected into one?

The Emperor isn’t worried, but the eunuchs are.

The uncle hurriedly said, "How inconvenient would that be! That kind of design is totally unreasonable! We’d never agree to it! The other owners wouldn’t agree either!"

Xiao Chen had to patiently explain, "This was a special request from President Chen when he purchased all six villas. We are just making the design changes according to his instructions."

Their minds were buzzing. Xiao Chen was already far in the distance, but everyone, with the exception of Zhao Hui, still hadn’t snapped out of their shock.

"Brother-in-law, slap me. I need to see if I’m dreaming!"

Mr. Zhao replied, "I’ve been wanting to for a while now. I feel like slapping myself to see if it’s real, too!"
