Although Shan Hai Yi Pin had a poor reputation, it was still a high-end community.
The moving company Chen Xiao hired couldn't even drive their vehicles in and was immediately stopped at the entrance.
Chen Xiao got out of the car and was about to explain to the security guard.
Just then, a familiar figure walked past him.
"Chen Xiao?"
A slightly hesitant voice called out. Chen Xiao knew who it was without looking.
As expected, when he turned around, the person speaking was Sun Li.
It had been some time since they last met, and he never expected to run into her here today.
Times had changed, and seeing her again felt like a lifetime ago.
The hatred he once felt for Sun Li had faded.
Of course, there was no lingering affection either.
Sun Li saw that it was indeed Chen Xiao and her face was filled with surprise. "It really is you!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here. What brings you here?"
Sun Li snorted dismissively and said proudly, "Of course, it's because I live here. I don't mind telling you, ever since I broke up with you, I've soared. I live in Shan Hai Yi Pin whenever I want. How about that, envious?"
Chen Xiao was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected Sun Li to attach herself to another rich man after Long Yaoyang's death.
However, Chen Xiao no longer cared about Sun Li's affairs.
He simply smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations."
Chen Xiao's indifferent reaction left Sun Li with no sense of superiority.
She snorted coldly and asked arrogantly, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm moving here too. We'll be neighbors from now on."
Chen Xiao spoke the truth, without any intention of showing off.
But Sun Li seemed to have been provoked and immediately became agitated.
"Moving here? You? Chen Xiao, are you kidding me?"
Chen Xiao shrugged and said impatiently, "Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. I'm busy, I don't have time to chat with you."
But Sun Li persisted, "Chen Xiao, why have you become such a braggart since we broke up?"
"Do you know how much the houses here cost? The cheapest ones start at tens of millions. Even though you're a formal doctor now, with your salary, even if you didn't eat or drink, you couldn't afford a house here if you saved your entire life!"
Just then, the security captain noticed the situation and walked over, asking the guard at the gate, "What's going on?"
The guard at the gate said, "This is a moving company's truck. They want to come in, but according to regulations, such vehicles are not allowed into our compound!"
The guard at the gate had been doing his job by stopping Chen Xiao's car. The security captain nodded in satisfaction, but when he saw Chen Xiao by the car, he jolted and rushed over.
He recognized Chen Xiao. This was a distinguished guest of the big boss Lin Jie, a capable master, and also the owner of Villa No. 1.
He absolutely dared not neglect such an important figure.
He ran up to Chen Xiao, snapped to attention, saluted, and shouted loudly, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xiao also remembered the security captain and said with a smile, "Oh, it's you. I'm moving in today, but your security guard stopped me. What should I do now? Can you handle it for me?"
The security captain was flattered that Chen Xiao remembered him and readily agreed, "Mr. Chen, other vehicles may not be allowed in, but can't your vehicle enter? Please, go right ahead. With me escorting you, I guarantee you a smooth passage!"
"Thank you then!"
Chen Xiao nodded at the security captain and then got into the car.
The guard at the gate was frantic seeing the car drive in. "Captain, weren't they not allowed in? Why are they going in?"
The security captain slapped him. "Nonsense, it depends on who it is. Don't you see who's in the car!"
The guard at the gate was new and asked blankly, "Who is it?"
The security captain was speechless. "Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I told you. In short, from now on, be polite to Mr. Chen. I don't have time to chat with you, I need to escort Mr. Chen!"
Saying that, the security captain got on his electric scooter and went ahead to lead the way.
Behind them, Sun Li was completely stunned. She never expected Chen Xiao to actually live here.
She followed him in, driven by an inexplicable urge to see where Chen Xiao lived.
Cars couldn't go fast inside the compound, so even though Sun Li was walking, she wasn't left behind.
She followed behind, and as the car drove deeper, her expression grew increasingly displeased.
She knew that the houses in Shan Hai Yi Pin were more expensive the closer they were to the center. It was rumored that Villa No. 1, located in the very center, sold for hundreds of millions.
Her own house was just an outer villa, and her name wasn't even on the property deed; she was only temporarily living there.
As the car continued to drive deeper, her expression became more astonished. "Could Chen Xiao's house be Villa No. 1, right in the center?"
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
She had heard that Villa No. 1 was reserved by Lin Jie for herself and would never be sold.
If it were put up for sale, it would fetch hundreds of millions!
However, when the moving truck stopped in front of Villa No. 1, Sun Li felt a buzzing in her head.
This kid Chen Xiao actually moved into Villa No. 1?
Just as she was about to get closer to confirm the truth, the security captain suddenly shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? I'm talking to you, you sneaky person!"
Sun Li was startled by the shout. After regaining her composure, she said indignantly, "Why are you yelling at me? I'm an owner here too!"
The security captain quickly put on a smile and apologized profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. However, this is private property ahead, and you can't go any further."
Sun Li stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do. She had to leave dejectedly.
Chen Xiao saw this scene in the rearview mirror and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
It was truly a case of "You ignored me yesterday, but today I'm beyond your reach!"
Liu Zhen also noticed this and said softly, "Chen Xiao, you must not have any more contact with this Sun Li in the future. She has poor character."
"Don't worry, Mom. To me, she's just a passerby... an annoying passerby."
Meanwhile, Sun Li returned to her house in a daze.
She sat down on the leather sofa. This house, with over four hundred square meters spread across two floors, was extremely luxurious for someone like her.
But the moment she thought of Chen Xiao living in Villa No. 1, this spacious house instantly lost its appeal.
She thought for a moment and decided this wouldn't do. She had to find a bigger house. If she was going to be outdone by anyone, it wouldn't be Chen Xiao!
