The property deed was indeed not heavy, and Chen Xiao hadn't used the Great Dream Vajra Divine Skill when he hurled it at Yang Xiaoyong. However, Yang Xiaoyong was caught off guard and fell backward, his panicked expression as if he had been struck by a hundred-pound weight.
"Chen, you're asking for death..."
Yang Xiaoyong, his face utterly disgraced, completely lost his temper and was about to tear up the deed. But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw the writing and seal on the deed and was instantly stunned. After a long pause, he exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost:
"You... you're actually the new owner of Villa No. 8?"
Yang Xiaoyong's professional skills might have been lacking, but his ability to flatter and fawn was second to none. He knew the owners of the dozen or so villas in Tian'e Lake小区 better than anyone. He would seize any opportunity to curry favor. When Gou Shunfang was handling the transfer of her villa's ownership yesterday, he had helped with the paperwork and even temporarily kept the keys for the new owner.
Shocked, he quickly scrambled like a pug into the guardhouse, retrieved the keys, and handed them back to Chen Xiao along with the deed:
"Mr. Chen... here are the keys to Villa No. 8. Please... please keep them safe."
Chen Xiao chuckled, his face full of disdain:
"Didn't you say you'd treat me like an ancestor?"
"I..."
Yang Xiaoyong's face showed difficulty, but after a brief hesitation, he unhesitatingly knelt outside the car door, holding the keys and deed high above his head to hand to Chen Xiao:
"Mr. Chen... No! No, no, no! Ancestor! Old Ancestor! I was blind and offended you earlier. I regret it deeply. I beg you to be magnanimous and let me go like a fart!"
"Pah!"
Chen Xiao's disdain deepened. He picked up the keys and deed and restarted the car engine.
Immediately, the security guards retreated to make way. Yang Xiaoyong, as if granted amnesty, waved goodbye with a deferential bow.
Watching Chen Xiao drive away at full speed towards Xie Dan's apartment building, Yang Xiaoyong's fawning smile gradually turned cold. He gritted his teeth and took out his phone, intending to call and curse Xie Dan fiercely. But before he could dial, he changed his mind and sinisterly sent a text message:
"Ms. Xie, the matter you entrusted me with has been handled. I wish your family a happy housewarming and great fortune!"
On the other end of the phone, Xie Dan was overjoyed. She quickly showed off to Yang Pinru, Chen Mingyue, Wang Xiaoxia, and the others present:
"The security guards at Tian'e Lake are indeed reliable. They've already thoroughly humiliated Chen Xiao and driven him away as I instructed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Yang Xiaoyong had silently retracted his message and was utterly bewildered, like a monk unable to understand anything.
But just as she was about to send a message to ask Yang Xiaoyong what he meant, she suddenly received a call from Wang Hailong.
On the phone, Wang Hailong, who was still in the hospital, said in an extremely excited tone:
"Wife, Mrs. Qin is coming in person to congratulate us on our housewarming. This is an immense honor. According to the time, she should be here soon. You must entertain her well!"
Xie Dan's excitement surged as if she had been injected with adrenaline. After hastily hanging up, the vanity-driven woman subtly boasted to everyone:
"Xiaoxia, you entertain everyone for now. Your brother said Mrs. Qin is coming, so I need to go downstairs to meet her."
Yang Pinru looked confused:
"Which Mrs. Qin?"
Xie Dan continued to subtly boast:
"Of course, it's the wife of Mr. Qin from Hantang Architecture. To be honest, if it weren't for Mr. and Mrs. Qin helping us with connections, my Hailong wouldn't have been able to buy a house in Tian'e Lake小区 at an internal price!"
Yang Pinru's eyes lit up, and she said eagerly:
"Since she's such an important benefactor, I'll accompany you downstairs to welcome her?"
Chen Mingyue eagerly nodded:
"Aunt Xie Dan, my boyfriend is also planning to buy a house in Tian'e Lake小区 for our marriage. Please ask Mrs. Qin to help with connections later."
Wang Xiaoxia also said excitedly:
"Sister-in-law, stop chatting and hurry downstairs to welcome her. We can't let Mrs. Qin come up alone; that would be too rude."
"Right! Right! Right, right, right!"
Xie Dan said, rushing out first and into the elevator. Yang Pinru and about a dozen others also swarmed in. As soon as the group appeared downstairs, a cool and stylish Maserati caught their eye.
Chen Mingyue's eyes immediately sparkled, her breathing quickened, and she shrieked:
"Ah! My God! A Maserati worth over ten million yuan! A luxury car I wouldn't even dare to dream of!"
"Mrs. Qin! Welcome! Welcome! A warm welcome..."
Xie Dan was clearly surprised that the usually low-key Liu Xin was driving a Maserati to her new home. Her face flushed with excitement, and she quickly rushed forward to greet her.
However, when she saw that the person getting out of the passenger seat was actually Chen Mingxi, she and everyone present were stunned. The scene instantly fell into a deathly silence. Chen Mingyue, in particular, asked with a face full of envious jealousy:
"Mingxi, weren't you upstairs? Why are you with Mrs. Qin?"
