Fang Chenyi paused for a mont. He turned his head and, seeing the stack of things in Bai ngyao’s hands, reached out to take it.
A glance down revealed it was the "script" that Mu Linsen had given her earlier.
Shaking his head in resignation, he thought about telling her to keep it as a nto, but decided against it. After a mont’s thought, he said,
"All right, I’ll take care of this."
With that, he turned and walked to the front passenger side. On the way, he casually opened his bag, pulled out a woven bag, and tossed the script directly into it.
[Master has collected one dilapidated, second-rate script, triggering a special system reward. Reward: One Grade A script. The reward has been placed in the woven bag. Please retrieve it at your convenience.]
Fang Chenyi’s hand froze as he reached for the car door. The notification in his mind stunned him. ’Picking up a random item triggered another special reward?!’
’But what’s the deal with getting a script as a reward? Ugh, what a waste.’
Shaking his head in resignation, he opened the car door and got in.
The motorcade of five cars made its way impressively toward Century Garden.
Halfway there, Fang Chenyi called his parents to let them know that Bai nghan’s parents were coming over and that they should all have a al together.
His parents heard the news and excitedly agreed to head over at once.
This was starting to feel a lot like a formal eting between the parents. As a result, Bai nghan’s face was flushed red for the entire drive.
Following Fang Chenyi’s directions, Father Bai parked the car in front of Villa Three.
Father Bai looked up at the enormous, luxurious villa, but before he could say a word, Bai ngyao, who was behind him, gasped in amazent.
"Wow, brother-in-law, this is your ho? This villa is huge! It’s so beautiful! I’ve heard about these villas before. They say they start at twenty million, right? And yours is Villa Three. Other than the first two, yours is the best one. I bet it’s worth at least forty million, right?"
The figure of twenty million had already shocked Father Bai, Mrs. Bai, and their second uncle and aunt. They never expected that in the span of a few words, the price would double to forty million. ’What kind of person can afford a forty-million house?!’
The more they learned about Fang Chenyi, the more worried Father Bai and Mrs. Bai beca. Fang Chenyi was simply too exceptional, and they worried their daughter wasn’t good enough for him.
"Haha, sothing like that. Co on, let’s all get out. My parents will be here any minute."
After getting out of the car, Principal Wang ran straight to Char’s villa to have them prepare so delicious food.
Wan Li and the others, being mbers of the upper crust, weren’t particularly surprised by Fang Chenyi’s villa. To be honest, they were even a bit puzzled as to why soone of Fang Chenyi’s net worth would live in such a humble place.
That’s right. Humble.
The second uncle, getting out of the car behind them, heard Fang Chenyi and asked in confusion,
"Chenyi, your parents don’t live here?"
Fang Chenyi gave a wry smile at the question.
"Ah, no. My folks said they’re used to their house in the countryside and don’t want to move. I even got a house ready for them here, but they won’t co."
As he said this, Fang Chenyi pointed a helpless finger toward Villa One.
Following his finger, Bai ngyao cried out in shock again.
"Oh my god, brother-in-law, Villa One is yours too?"
Fang Chenyi smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to Father Bai and Mrs. Bai beside him. He pointed to Villa Two and said,
"Uncle, Auntie, since nghan is your only child, she and I talked it over. We thought it would be nice for us all to live close and have family als together every day. So, this house is a gift to you from nghan and . We can take a look in a little while, and if you don’t like the interior design, we can have it changed right away."
Everyone was stunned. They stared at Villa Two, montarily speechless. After a long mont, Bai ngyao was the first to break the silence.
"B-Brother-in-law, are you saying Villa Two is yours, too? And you’re giving it to my uncle??"
Bai ngyao’s words snapped Father Bai, Mrs. Bai, and the others back to their senses. They glanced at the massive villa and quickly waved their hands in refusal.
"No, no, that’s absolutely out of the question! We can’t possibly live here!"
At this point, Bai nghan, who had been standing by, finally spoke. She smiled at her parents.
"Dad, Mom, I didn’t know about this at first, either. Chenyi only told after he’d already gotten the houses ready. I was curious why he chose to live in Villa Three, but then I found out. Villa One is for his parents, Villa Two is for you, Villa Three is for us, and Villa Four is for his little sister, Jinjin. I wasn’t going to accept it at first, but Chenyi said that his family only has him and Jinjin, and our family only has . If we all move in close to each other, our big family will be much more lively."
Just as Father Bai was about to refuse again, Bai ngyao let out another cry of astonishnt.
"What? nghan, are you saying Villas One, Two, Three, *and* Four all belong to my brother-in-law? My god, this is the best villa complex in all of Qinhuang Island! Good heavens, at this rate, my brother-in-law might as well just buy the whole complex and fence it off..."
She’d said it idly, but he took it to heart.
When Fang Chenyi heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
"Haha, your sister has a point. Why didn’t I think of that before? Every ti I co and go, I have to use the main gate for Century Garden. It’s not just inconvenient with all the people and cars, but leaving that access point open isn’t very secure, either."
At this, he turned to Wan Li, who was standing nearby, and said with a smile,
"Haha, I’m a bit short-staffed at the mont, so I’ll have to trouble you with this, Old Wan. There are twelve villas here in total. Right now, villas one through ten are in my na; only eleven and twelve aren’t. I need you to arrange for soone to acquire the remaining two for . After that, separate this entire villa complex from the neighboring residential area. We won’t need their property managent services, either. We’ll use Villa Twelve as housing for security. And on that note, please help recruit so recently discharged veterans for the security team."
Wan Li nodded vigorously in assent. After confirming that Fang Chenyi had no further instructions, he pulled out his phone and stepped aside to make the arrangents.
Once he’d delegated the task to Wan Li, Fang Chenyi turned back and smiled at Bai ngyao.
"Haha, and I have you to thank for the reminder."
...Erm...
Bai ngyao, however, was overco with exasperation.
’Seriously? I was just making an offhand comnt, who knew you’d actually go and do it?’
’And another thing... out of twelve villas here, ten of them are already yours...’
’Sigh... Being rich really lets you do whatever you want...’
