Xin Xiaoting's dad and her aunt were both extrely surprised when they heard.
But Shen Qiang felt nothing.
He just smiled at Xin Xiaoting, walking forward with her.
In front of the simple yet grand sole household entrance, Xin Xiaoting stopped dead, "You live here?"
Shen Qiang laughed and casually pressed the fingerprint lock on the door.
The gate opened.
In an instant, not only did Xin Xiaoting freeze, but the three people following behind her did as well.
"So beautiful, so elegant!" Xin Xiaoting's aunt exclaid with eyes full of surprise.
"Is this house yours?" Xin Xiaoting could hardly believe it as she gasped in shock.
Shen Qiang laughed, "Please co in, have a seat, make yourself at ho."
"Wow, all these rosewood furniture, how much did this cost?" Xin Xiaoting's dad stared at the living room furniture in amazent.
Shen Qiang replied with a smile, "Around six or seven million, I'm not too clear on the specifics."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting, her dad, her second aunt, and her aunt all froze.
"Take a seat, I'll pour you so tea."
Xin Xiaoting hurriedly followed Shen Qiang and asked, "Shen Qiang, where did you get so much money?"
Shen Qiang smiled, "I'm an Appraiser. Apart from helping various bosses appraise so items, I can also deal in so goods myself, of course, I can make money."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting's eyes curved into a smile.
anwhile, admiring the vintage rosewood furniture, Xin Xiaoting's dad was full of delight, "Grand, truly grand! Even grander than the Health Bureau Director's house in our city."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting's second aunt was full of doubt, whispering, "Could these really be genuine?"
Xin Xiaoting's aunt forcefully lifted the chair nearby and said, "It's so heavy; it must be real."
"It's Zitan," Xin Xiaoting's dad said with a surprised look, "The lines are smooth, the color vibrant, carrying a deep Oriental ancient charm, with a sense of ti's thickness and a historical feel to the space, absolutely cannot be mistaken."
Right away, Xin Xiaoting's second aunt stood there stunned and murmured, "With so much money, why buy the top floor? If it leaks, wouldn't all this furniture be ruined?"
Just then, Shen Qiang, who had co over with water to serve them, laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are two more levels above, the top is an arch structure, even the heaviest rain won't cause leaks."
"There are two more levels above? So this isn't the top floor?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "It is the top floor, to be correct, it's the three additional levels built above it. Of course, the security guards in this complex call this place the garden or sky villa."
Upon hearing this, the three people's eyes widened.
"If you're interested, I can take you up to have a look. The second floor is mainly bedrooms, and the third floor has a study and a recreation room with a mahjong table, table tennis, and so simple exercise equipnt."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Especially Xin Xiaoting's second aunt, who looked at Shen Qiang blankly. Then, as if she suddenly rembered sothing, she said, "Shen Qiang, are you sure this house is yours?"
"Not borrowed? Rented? Do you have the deed?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "I don't have the deed yet; I'll have to wait a few more days to get it. However, I do have the property registration paperwork, would you like to see it?"
Xin Xiaoting's dad kept silent.
Xin Xiaoting's aunt said sowhat awkwardly, "No need, no need."
But Xin Xiaoting's second aunt was persistent, "Of course we need to see it otherwise what if you just rented this house?"
Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, give a mont, I'll get it for you."
As he said that, Shen Qiang went upstairs.
No sooner had he left than Xin Xiaoting beca anxious, "Second Aunt, why do you do this? You leave, leave right now! I'm interested in Shen Qiang as a person. Doing this, what do you think of ?"
"It's true you're interested in him, but it's important to know that people can be deceptive," Xin Xiaoting's second aunt replied seriously, "What if he's deceiving you?"
Xin Xiaoting snapped, "Even if he's lying to , I'm willing to be deceived, it's none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Xin Xiaoting's dad coughed and said, "Xiaoting, don't be childish. I have only you as a daughter. If you want to be with this Shen Qiang, dad won't stop you, but I at least need to know who he is."
"You're of age now. How could I peacefully allow you to be with soone whose background I don't even know?"
Xin Xiaoting fell silent.
At that mont, Shen Qiang ca down from upstairs.
He put a stack of docunts and receipts in front of them and said, "The transfer procedures have been completed, and we can get the certificate next week."
When they heard this, Xin Xiaoting's aunt's eyes lit up as she took the receipt for the transfer procedure.
Just then,
Xin Xiaoting's second aunt picked up the contract from the stack of receipts and read softly, "Party A, Sun Kaiping, transfers the property in Jinyu Huacheng to Party B, Shen Qiang, for the price of thirty million yuan%..."
In an instant,
the room fell silent.
After a while, Xin Xiaoting's second aunt patted her chest a little nervously and said, "I'm so nervous that I can hardly breathe."
Just then, Shen Qiang, who had gone to the kitchen to check on sothing, ca back and said, "If you're feeling breathless, you can sit out in the courtyard."
"Courtyard?" Everyone was surprised.
Shen Qiang smiled, walked to the south side of the villa's living room, and opened the drawn curtains.
As the courtyard lights above the outer part of the villa were turned on, the sight of the garden, which must have been at least four hundred square ters, made all four people's eyes in the room shine.
"So beautiful! There's even a swimming pool!" Xin Xiaoting exclaid with awe in her eyes.
The other three, stunned, also stepped outside.
At this mont, the bustling city's lights were just coming on.
Looking down as if the Provincial City lay beneath their feet, their spirits were invigorated.
"This place is gorgeous!" Xin Xiaoting said, her eyes filled with rapture.
Xin Xiaoting's dad clenched his fist and said, "He who holds the high ground commands the hills below. A real man belongs in a place like this."
"This place is simply fantastic." Watching the brightly lit city, Xin Xiaoting's second aunt suddenly laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, I think Xiaoting's boyfriend is a good match. He's richer than Director Li, and more importantly, Xiaoting likes him."
Xin Xiaoting's aunt also smiled and said, "Young and wealthy, and handso to boot. Missing out on such a golden bachelor would surely lead to a lifeti of regret."
Hearing this, Xin Xiaoting's dad laughed heartily.
At that ti, Shen Qiang invited them to dinner.
Four cold dishes, four hot dishes, plus one sweet and one savory soup bowl.
The taste was so delicious that the others couldn't stop praising it.
However, since both Xin Xiaoting's aunt and her dad had driven there, they couldn't drink, so the al was quickly finished.
After dinner,
they chatted for a while.
When they heard that Shen Qiang was not only a doctor but also an appraiser of antiques, they completely set their minds at ease.
By then, it was already half-past nine at night.
Xin Xiaoting's aunt suggested it was ti to leave.
Xin Xiaoting's dad, after shaking hands with Shen Qiang, admonished him, "No need to see us out; we can find our way. When you have ti, bring Xiaoting to visit our ho."
Shen Qiang nodded, "Definitely."
At that mont, Xin Xiaoting ca out, clutching her small bag.
Her dad frowned upon seeing her and said, "What are you doing out here? Stay here tonight; I'll co to pick you up in the morning."
