Usually, Liu Fugui acts very condescendingly, even among relatives, he rarely communicates much, and when he encounters Xia Liang's parents, he just grunts and never treats them as elders.
When he sees Xia Liang, he acts even more superior, mocking, ridiculing, and even treating Xia Liang as a source of amusent.
How could Xia Liang tolerate this?
A few years ago, at a family gathering, Liu Fugui actually ordered Xia Liang to go downstairs and fetch cigarettes from his car.
How could Xia Liang tolerate this? He imdiately retorted.
"Who do you think you are? Why should I fetch your cigarettes?"
Liu Fugui was furious and was about to overturn the table and hit soone.
Xia Liang wasn't intimidated and fought back directly.
Fortunately, surrounding relatives quickly intervened, preventing a fight from breaking out.
Since then, the two families have interacted even less.
Xia Liang raised an eyebrow.
"If you can be here, why can't I co to buy a house?"
The third cousin and third aunt exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into laughter!
"Hahaha, mom did you hear that?"
The third cousin laughed until tears ca out.
"Xia Liang's family wants to buy a house!"
"That's so funny! Absolutely hilarious!"
The third aunt leaned back with mock incredulity.
", you guys dare to co, how oblivious you are to reality."
Xia Weiguo furrowed his brows upon hearing this, feeling a bit angry.
"What do you an by that? Only you are allowed to co? My family can't?"
The third aunt chuckled, full of disdain.
"Brother Xia, don't be angry, I an no harm, but who doesn't know everyone's background these days? Even though this is the county town, houses here cost several dis per unit, with your family's monthly inco, I find it unlikely you could afford it."
Beside the third aunt, the third cousin exaggerated further.
"And even if you have money and sohow put together the down paynt, you still wouldn't be able to buy this place. The market is tight, and without a solid connection with the developer, there's no way to get a unit! My husband, you know, Liu Fugui, a big boss! He knows a deputy general here and only through connections could we get a spot."
She wore an expression full of pride, practically writing "I'm soone important" across her forehead!
Xia Liang didn't want to engage with this family.
"Mom, Dad, let's go. The units are selling quickly, and if we don't hurry, we won't get a good one."
"A pig's nose stuck with green onions — really pretentious!"
The third cousin sneered coldly, a smirk playing at her lips.
"See this? This is the 140-square-ter unit my family just bought! 1.2 yuan, paid in full, not joking!"
She pulled out a purchase contract and a paynt receipt of 1.2 yuan, flaunting them in front of Xia Liang.
Actually, she was buying the house for her husband, with all the money being his and Liu Fugui's na on the contract.
But as long as she could show off in front of Xia Liang, the third cousin was satisfied.
"So? Uncle and aunt, how big a place do you plan to buy? As far as I know, only large units are left now! 280 square ters! 2.4 yuan per unit! How about it? Want one?"
The third cousin continued to flaunt, full of petty success.
"But even if you got in line, it wouldn't matter! These places are in high demand. Without connections, there's no way to secure a spot!"
The third cousin proudly gestured at the long queue at the sales office, full of superiority, ready to burst with arrogance.
Seeing this, Xia Liang quietly opened a system.
The next second, the sales office manager, accompanied by a group of sales ladies, rushed out in a hurry, shouting!
"VIP! VIP please wait!"
Many people rushed out, forming a grand scene!
Everyone lining up to buy a house was stunned.
The corners of the third cousin's mouth crazily lifted.
"See? When I, the VIP, want to leave, they escort out!"
She bead with pride, smiling like a blooming flower.
"You are so hospit..."
Before she could finish, the manager, with the sales ladies, rushed past her like a whirlwind, not giving her a second glance, treating her as if she were air!
Her smile instantly froze!
For a mont, laughter erupted from the people around as the manager and his team reached Xia Liang, bowing deeply!
"Honorable Mister Xia! You finally arrived!"
"We received a call from headquarters, and your house purchase process has been completed. Just waiting for your signature!"
The manager bead, nodding and bowing, respectfully speaking to Xia Liang.
He motioned to two sales ladies who respectfully brought over a wooden tray with red velvet, on which lay a purchase contract, a paynt receipt, and other docunts.
Beside them, the third cousin and third aunt were dumbfounded. This didn't make sense?
Xia Weiguo was also bewildered.
"Xia Liang, what is this? What's going on?"
Xia Liang smiled but said nothing.
The manager enthusiastically flattered him.
"I must say, Mister Xia is truly filial to his parents. He has pre-purchased our flagship unit in full paynt, as a gift for your parents to move into, a 280-square-ter expansive flat! Flagship location, pri floor, top luxury decoration, top-class appliances, ready to move in with just luggage!"
Xia Liang smiled and turned to the third cousin and third aunt, who were stunned like wooden chickens.
"We'll be neighbors in the future, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you're always welco to visit our ho?"
Upon hearing this, the two only felt like a balloon had been deflated in their hearts, neighbor my foot? How to visit?
The so-called 140 square ter mansion wasn't even theirs! It was bought for Liu Fugui, and despite all the boasting, the contract didn't even have the third cousin's na on it! All the money ca from Liu Fugui!
More critically, the third cousin and Liu Fugui hadn't even registered their marriage.
If they divorce in the future, the house will all be Liu Fugui's, with not a di related to her.
Strictly speaking, the third cousin purely showed off in front of Xia Liang!
Satisfaction in boasting is short-lived, showing off leads to a funeral!
The expression on the third cousin's face at this mont was nothing short of spectacular!
She was a fake hoowner compared to Xia Liang, the mansion VIP, incredibly awkward.
The people lining up to buy houses around were incredibly shocked!
They clicked their tongues in admiration!
"Oh my, a flagship unit owner?"
"5 yuan, just buy as you please! So extravagant!"
"Bro, so handso? So young and so capable!"
"Buying a flagship unit for parents at such a young age? Other people's kids never disappoint!"
"And the key thing is—not only having money but also connections! The manager personally delivered the contract! For us, even if we had money, they wouldn't give us a glance."
Amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful discussions, the faces of the third aunt and third cousin standing beside Xia Liang were exquisitely complex.
"Haha, hahaha~"
The third aunt's face shifted, from contempt and indifference to a lting ice, blooming into a heartfelt enthusiasm, eagerly grabbing Xia Liang's hand.
"Look at our Xia Liang, making big money! How did he do so well? A house worth 5 yuan, just bought like that!"
The third cousin instantly changed her expression.
"Oh my, Xia Liang you naughty thing! How could you not tell your sister you're so rich? Forgot how much your sister doted on you as a child? Even bought you candy."
Xia Liang was overwheld by the two's "familial" performance!
And about childhood? How could they bring that up?
Clearly, you snatched my toys and falsely accused !
He cupped his hands and said, farewell!
With a smile, Xia Liang nodded, holding the purchase contract, surrounded by the manager and sales ladies, as he took his parents to see the model unit.
