Chapter 300: It Feels Like I’ve Been Deceived

“I’ve heard that countless times already. How do you plan to make Weiwei happy? You can’t even afford a decent car, and you call that happiness? As for the house, I haven’t seen it, but I can already guess it’s not impressive. Do you really think you can make her happy with that? Let me be honest with you—you’re not good enough for her. Break up with her soon. Weiwei deserves a better man.”

Xie Lin stared at Xu Shaochen with a sneer, her face full of mockery, visibly agitated.

“How can you say such things? Their relationship is none of your business.”

“Exactly! Why are you meddling like some busybody? What’s so great about you anyway?”

Liu Chao and his friends couldn’t hold back any longer. This woman was really too annoying.

“How is it not my business? Weiwei is my sister. Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you country bumpkins.”

Xie Lin glanced dismissively at the three of them and remarked sarcastically.

Xu Shaochen chuckled, then took off his watch and showed it to Xie Lin. “Recognize this? If you do, keep your mouth shut. If not, do some research online.”

“Ha! Wearing a fake watch and putting on airs. If you can afford that watch, why can’t you buy a car? What a joke!”

Xie Lin sneered. She didn’t know which series the watch belonged to, but she certainly recognized it as a Rolex.

A man who can’t even afford a car, yet claims to own a Rolex? If it’s not a lie, then it’s definitely a fake.

Xu Shaochen didn’t really know what to say anymore. He glanced at Xie Wei, feeling helpless.

Xie Wei also looked helpless. She had told Xie Lin before that Xu Shaochen was wealthy, but it seems Xie Lin simply didn’t believe her!

Soon, the taxis arrived. Xu Shaochen, Xie Wei, and Xie Lin took one car, while Li Qi and the others took a second car.

“I’m going to take a nap. I’m so frustrated. Wake me up when we get there.”

Xie Lin grumbled at Xie Wei before closing her eyes to sleep.

“I’m sorry, hubby. She’s just like that. Please don’t take it personally.”

After Xie Lin fell asleep, Xie Wei softly apologized to Xu Shaochen.

“It’s fine.”

Xu Shaochen shook his head, then placed a hand on Xie Wei’s waist and slowly slid it down.

Xie Wei blushed slightly, but she didn’t resist. It could be considered as a small compensation to Xu Shaochen.

Since Xu Shaochen was in the car, the security at the villa area didn’t stop them, and the taxi drove straight to the front of Xu Shaochen’s villa.

“Whoa! Old Xu, you’re awesome! This is a real luxury house!”

“I’ve never been in a house this extravagant in my entire life!”

“There’s definitely a swimming pool! With a yard this big…”

The moment the car came to a stop, Li Qi, Liu Chao, and Zhou Fan couldn’t wait to jump out of the car. They were practically drooling at the sight of the luxury house.

It was also Xie Wei’s first time here. She was just as shocked, but quickly snapped out of it and woke Xie Lin.

“Are we here?”

After getting out of the car, Xie Lin stared at the luxury house in front of her, stunned and a bit confused.

“Why are we here?”

Xie Lin asked, looking at Xie Wei.

“This is Shaochen’s house.” Xie Wei said proudly, as if saying, “I told you so,” thinking that seeing it herself would leave no room for doubt.

“What?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Lin’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Xu Shaochen, as if she had just seen a ghost.

“Cousin, weren’t you asking about the cars earlier? There’s an Audi and a Lamborghini parked in the garage. I’ve got a Rolls-Royce, too, but my bodyguard is driving it. Do you think that’s enough? If not, I can buy more, though I may need to get a bigger garage.”

Xu Shaochen spoke calmly, pressing the key to open the garage door slowly. Inside, an Audi and a Lamborghini were quietly parked.

“I…”

Xie Lin was at a loss for words, completely dumbfounded and unable to react.

“Oh, and if you think this house is too shabby, I can always build a new estate. My company specializes in real estate and catering. Would you like to visit my company?”

Xu Shaochen interrupted her, still wearing a gentle smile and speaking in his usual slow tone.

Damn, I wanted to keep a low profile, but some people are just impossible. If you don’t smack them in the face with money, they won’t shut up.

“I…”

Xie Lin’s face turned red and pale, her whole body frozen in place. She felt embarrassed and humiliated, as if someone had slapped her across the face.

This slap in the face was way too intense. Thinking back to all the ridicule she had thrown at Xu Shaochen earlier now seemed utterly ridiculous.

No wonder Xu Shaochen hadn’t bothered to argue with her before—he hadn’t taken her seriously at all. To him, she must have looked like nothing more than a clown.

And that Rolex on Xu Shaochen’s wrist… If the house and cars are real, could the watch be fake? In an instant, Xie Lin felt her face burning.

Her family also owned a villa, but compared to this, it was vastly inferior, not even on the same level.

Xie Wei had told her before that Xu Shaochen wasn’t short on money. She had thought Xie Wei was just trying to save face for him. But now, it seems he truly wasn’t lacking in money.

Today, she really lost face, making a complete fool out of herself.

Liu Chao, Li Qi, and Zhou Fan felt a sense of satisfaction watching all of this, as if the luxury items belonged to them.

They had been anxious earlier when Xie Lin kept insulting Xu Shaochen, but he didn’t seem bothered. However, they were all on edge.

“You’re Weiwei’s sister, so I’ll call you ‘Sis’ as well. I didn’t say all that for any other reason. I just want to let you know that I can take good care of Weiwei.”

Having sufficiently humiliated her, Xu Shaochen shifted his tone and gave Xie Lin an exit from the situation, not wanting to make things difficult for Xie Wei. After all, they were relatives and had a good relationship.

“I’m sorry. Earlier… I was too opinionated. It really was my fault. I apologize.”

Xie Lin apologized to Xu Shaochen, but in her heart, she felt a bit jealous of Xie Wei.

She had originally planned to introduce a quality boyfriend to Xie Wei herself. But now she realized that Xie Wei’s boyfriend was far better than anyone she could have introduced.

“Let’s go inside.”

Xu Shaochen smiled and gently held Xie Wei’s slim waist as he led everyone into the living room.

As they entered, everyone was once again stunned by the luxurious interior. They looked around as if they were exploring the Grand View Garden for the first time.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Old Xu, you’ve really become a tycoon.”

“Since elementary school, we were taught how evil capitalists were in our textbooks. But only today did I realize—I might have been deceived, deceived for a full twenty years.”

“I was deceived too. Damn it, I also want to be an evil capitalist. Forget being just an honest laborer!”
