Chapter 131: Chapter 131, Being Despised for Buying a House

Shengjing Shanshui was the most upscale villa area in Qingyuan. The community wasn’t large, with only ninety-five standalone villas, the smallest covering over two hundred square meters.

The largest spanned five hundred square meters across four stories, totaling more than two thousand square meters, with over a dozen rooms, enough to accommodate an entire family.

Although there were only ninety-five villas, the number ninety-five held significant meaning, symbolizing the ”Supreme Ruler” in ancient times. This foretold that Shengjing Shanshui’s status in Qingyuan was unsurpassed.

The area was just completed last year, and due to the high requirement by the Fang Family, the occupancy rate was still less than fifty percent. The residents were all wealthy and influential figures.

If one was going to buy a villa, they naturally wanted the best.

Xu Wendong drove his car directly into the parking lot of the Shengjing Shanshui sales office, then strolled in as if he owned the place. Compared to some bustling new sales offices, this one was notably quiet.

After all, villas with a starting price of several million were not something the average wage earner could afford.

The sales office at Shengjing Shanshui was built with great grandeur, exuding luxury, and resembled a palace. Moreover, the sales ladies here were all elegant, dressed in dark qipao dresses, emanating an air of grace and dignity.

Even so, when they saw Xu Wendong entering, they didn’t appear overly enthusiastic. Having worked here for so long, they could easily tell at a glance whether someone had money or sophistication.

Although Xu Wendong looked handsome, his entire outfit seemed worth only a few hundred yuan. He gazed around after entering, looking as if he hadn’t seen much of the world.

Even if he drove a Mercedes C-Class worth over 200,000, it was still unlikely he could afford a villa at Shengjing Shanshui.

However, a tall woman in her twenties walked over with a polite smile and courteously asked, ”Sir, are you here to view a house?”

Xu Wendong didn’t like her question. This was a sales office; wasn’t he here to look at houses, not graves? But he didn’t argue with her. Instead, he asked, ”What’s the size of your largest villa? It’s fully furnished and ready to move in, right?”

The woman burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth. Realizing her behavior was inappropriate, she quickly composed herself and stifled her laughter, saying, ”I’m sorry, we’re professionally trained, and I shouldn’t laugh, but I couldn’t help it!”

Xu Wendong frowned, ”What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?”

The woman cleared her throat, keeping a smile but with a tone full of disdain, ”Sir, the starting price for a villa at Shengjing Shanshui is 6.8 million, and that’s for the smallest model.”

”As for what you call the largest villa, it’s 1,200 square meters with a price tag of 16 million. Are you sure you can afford a 16 million villa?”

”We are all busy, let’s not waste each other’s time, okay?”

”How about checking my credentials first?” Xu Wendong flashed an amused smile. He hadn’t expected to meet two snobbish women in one day and secretly decided to teach her a lesson.

”You actually know about checking credentials? You really know quite a bit!” the woman sneered. ”Sorry, I’m very busy and don’t have time to waste with you.”

Just then, a young woman wearing a white qipao dress walked over from the side. She had an oval face, bright eyes, white teeth, and a long hair bun with a wooden hairpin.

She gave off a refreshing and elegant aura, especially with her big, expressive eyes. Her cherry-like lips looked very delicate.

The woman waved to her, ”Nie Xiaoyu, come here, this customer wants to buy a house. I’ll hand this client over to you. If you can get him to buy a house here, you won’t have to serve tea and water to guests anymore.” Then she walked away impatiently, joining a group of sales ladies standing in two rows at the entrance for some chatting.

Nie Xiaoyu?

Xu Wendong looked astonished. How could she have the same name as his middle school classmate?

Wow!

To think they not only shared the same name, but she also looked remarkably similar...

Nie Xiaoyu saw Xu Wendong too, her eyes filled with panic, seemingly not expecting to meet him here.

”Is it...really you? How are you here?” Xu Wendong looked at Nie Xiaoyu in disbelief. Not only was she his middle school deskmate, but they were also born on the same day of the same month in the same year.

Of course, Nie Xiaoyu was the top student in school during middle school.

Her academics were outstanding, consistently ranking in the top three during monthly exams.

She had helped Xu Wendong a lot in both life and studies, though back then, she wore two ponytails and black-framed glasses, and didn’t bother with her appearance.

Who would have thought that after four years apart, she would grow up to be so graceful, truly getting more beautiful year by year?

Only, Xu Wendong couldn’t imagine why she would be here serving tea and water.

”I didn’t do well in the college entrance exam, then attended two years of technical school, and ended up being assigned here!” Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, a hint of inferiority flickering in her eyes.

Seeing that insecure look, Xu Wendong felt a stabbing pain in his heart. She was once the top student; even if she hadn’t shown any beauty back then, she was a proud swan in her studies!

For three years as desk mates, it was Xu Wendong who felt inferior.

Who would have thought that today he would witness a teenager’s insecure side?

”You repeated a year back then, didn’t you?” Xu Wendong sighed, feeling heavy-hearted.

He knew that a month before the high school entrance exam, Nie Xiaoyu’s family experienced a misfortune, a car accident that claimed her parents’ lives, leaving her an orphan.

He had comforted her and, after knowing she hadn’t done well on the exam, had cycled thirty kilometers to her village to encourage her to repeat the year. He even secretly put the money he earned from selling scorpions and his New Year’s money into her pocket.

Although it was less than five hundred yuan, it was all his savings, meant to help her change her fate through her studies.

Because he believed in Nie Xiaoyu’s ability, she had no problem getting into the best high school in Qingyuan.

But now it seemed...

”Sorry, I let you down, I wanted to perform well, but...” Nie Xiaoyu’s face was full of shame, her head hung low, tears brimming her eyes, not daring to look at Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong forced a smile and said, ”It’s actually nothing; although education is important, it is not a must-have in life. Many who graduate from college don’t necessarily find a suitable job.”

”Let’s not talk about this anymore. I want to buy a house. You can help me with the paperwork!”

Nie Xiaoyu looked up nervously, unable to resist asking, ”The houses here are very expensive. Can you really afford one?”
