"Cough, cough, cough—"
Jiang Shaolong's lips twitched. Villa Number One, worth eighty million, was not something he could easily afford.
Although the Jiang family was wealthy, he had not yet taken charge of it, and it was unrealistic to come up with eighty million yuan at once.
At this moment, all the Su family members were looking at him, and he certainly couldn't lose face. He feigned difficulty and said, "The price of Villa Number One is still acceptable. I mentioned this to Uncle Tang before, but there's one thing you might not know."
Jiang Shaolong deliberately sighed, a look of regret on his face. "Uncle Tang intended to keep that villa for his granddaughter who is studying abroad, so it's not for sale to the public."
"So that's how it is."
The Su family members sighed with regret.
But no one doubted Jiang Shaolong's words.
If Chen Fan were to say he could buy Villa Number One, it would be a huge joke.
Jiang Shaolong was different. He was the future heir of the Jiang family, with endless resources and immeasurable assets.
A mere villa was naturally not a difficult matter.
If only the Su family knew that the Villa Number One, which Jiang Shaolong claimed was not for sale, was something Old Master Tang had groveled to give away to the "waste" they were talking about, what would they think!
—
At noon, Jiang Shaolong drove his Audi alone to the sales office of Xiangshan Tanfu.
That's right, he was here to buy a villa.
He found the manager's office with practiced ease and walked in unceremoniously, without knocking.
"Xiao Zhao, which villa in your Xiangshan Tanfu has the best value for money? Reserve it for me," Jiang Shaolong said condescendingly.
Anyone unaware would think he was the big boss of this real estate company.
"Young Master Jiang, I'm sorry, but all the villas in Xiangshan Tanfu are sold out," Manager Zhao said apologetically, putting down the documents he was handling.
"What? Sold out?" Jiang Shaolong was stunned, thinking he misheard. His expression turned ashen. "Xiao Zhao, this joke isn't funny at all."
"I wouldn't dare joke with Young Master Jiang even if I had ten more guts," Manager Zhao said with a bitter smile. "They are genuinely sold out. This morning, all the villas under Xiangshan Tanfu were bought by the same mysterious VIP."
"What kind of bullshit are you spouting? Are you telling me a fairy tale?" Jiang Shaolong glared at Manager Zhao and cursed.
"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Old Master Tang. He personally sold them," Manager Zhao said.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Shaolong was doubtful, still not quite believing it.
"Absolutely true!" Manager Zhao replied with absolute certainty. "A total of fifteen villas, including the flagship property that has been vacant for over ten years, for a total of three hundred million yuan."
"Three hundred million?"
Jiang Shaolong gasped in disbelief!
At the same time, a bigger question arose in his mind: who was so inhumanly wealthy that they could produce three hundred million yuan in cash at once?
"Do you know who the buyer is?" Jiang Shaolong pressed.
"You'd better ask Old Master Tang about that. Old Master Tang is tight-lipped about it and has strictly forbidden the sales office from revealing any information about the owner. I've already said too much."
Jiang Shaolong snorted coldly, but Chen Fan's words from last night suddenly came to mind.
"You won't be able to buy a single villa in Xiangshan Tanfu."
A million 'grass-mud horses' galloped through Jiang Shaolong's mind, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
He had confidently boasted to the Su family that he would buy a villa in Xiangshan Tanfu as their wedding home, but now, overnight, all the villas were sold out. It was truly unbelievable.
Of course, he would never believe that the mysterious person who bought all the villas in Xiangshan Tanfu was Chen Fan!
After a stalemate with Manager Zhao, Jiang Shaolong refused to give up. He thought for a moment and said, "Can you find a way to ask that person to let go of one unit? The price is negotiable."
"We dare not!"
Manager Zhao replied euphemistically. He didn't dare to offend the distinguished figure that Old Master Tang had to grovel to!
"Young Master Jiang, would you like to see villas in other locations under Datang Real Estate?"
"Give me the owner's phone number. I'm buying a villa in Xiangshan Tanfu today," Jiang Shaolong said, his face flushed.
"No!"
Manager Zhao refused without a second thought.
While the Jiang family had a good relationship with the Tang family, and staff at Tang family companies would generally show some respect to Young Master Jiang, the current villa buyer was no ordinary person. Leaking his personal information would be courting death!
"So, there's no room for negotiation?" Jiang Shaolong said with a dark expression.
Manager Zhao looked crestfallen. He couldn't afford to offend Jiang Shaolong, but he couldn't afford to offend the villa buyer even more.
"Young Master Jiang, how about this: behind Villa Number One in Xiangshan Tanfu, there's a detached garden villa. It's no less than an ordinary villa and can be considered the flagship property among all types of villas. What do you think..."
Jiang Shaolong was about to get angry when he heard it wasn't a villa, but upon hearing that the garden villa was located behind Villa Number One, he immediately changed his mind!
"Alright, I'll take this one."
Jiang Shaolong readily agreed!
After Jiang Shaolong completed the purchase procedures, Manager Zhao returned to his office. Before he could even sit down, he received a call from Old Master Tang.
"Zhao Ziyang, you audacious dog! Who told you to sell my granddaughter's kennel?" Old Master Tang's tone was full of gunpowder.
"What, kennel?"
Manager Zhao was so startled he shivered, completely bewildered.
"The garden villa next to Villa Number One!" Old Master Tang said.
"Ah!"
Manager Zhao cried out in alarm, even more confused.
Old Master Tang snorted and scolded, "Use your pig's head to think, Xiangshan Tanfu is all villas, why did they build a separate villa behind Villa Number One?"
"Is it for Miss Tang to raise dogs?"
Manager Zhao replied cautiously. Villa Number One was originally reserved by Old Master Tang for his granddaughter. Recalling his granddaughter's fondness for cats and dogs, everything seemed to fall into place.
However, an eight-million-yuan garden villa used for raising dogs—it had to be said that rich people really knew how to have fun.
"Your entire year-end bonus is forfeited!"
After saying this, Old Master Tang hung up the phone directly.
...
However, Jiang Shaolong, as the buyer, was unaware of all this. After buying the house, he excitedly returned to the Su family with the purchase contract.
At this moment, Su Yingxia and Su Yuxin were browsing Taobao for bags and shoes. Seeing Jiang Shaolong return, they both stood up and walked towards him.
"Yingxia, all the villas in Xiangshan Tanfu are sold out, so I bought a garden villa as our wedding home."
As he spoke, he waved the contract in his hand, casually tossed it to Su Yingxia, and then sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.
Su Yingxia was a little displeased to hear it was a garden villa, not a villa. But upon seeing the price on the contract, she immediately got excited.
"Eight million?"
Su Yuxin quickly leaned her head over. Upon seeing the price, her eyes also widened.
Although they didn't get a villa, an eight-million-yuan 'class villa' was still considerably more expensive than an ordinary villa, which was enough for her to show off.
"Shaolong, you bought a house without telling me, and you gave me such a big surprise!" Su Yingxia pounced on him and gave him a fierce kiss on the cheek.
Jiang Shaolong chuckled casually. "It's just a house worth eight million. Do I need to make a big fuss to tell you? Get ready later, and I'll take you to see our newly bought wedding home."
"En."
The two women nodded busily. To show off, they even called a large group of Su family members.
Soon, after Su Yingxia and Su Yuxin were elegantly dressed, they, along with Jiang Shaolong and a grand entourage of Su family members, happily headed towards the villa area.
Along the way, they passed Villa Number One.
Jiang Shaolong pointed to Villa Number One and said with a smile, "Our wedding home is just behind Villa Number One."
The Su family members seemed not to have heard him. All their attention was captured by the luxurious Villa Number One. It was the first time they had seen the legendary flagship property.
This villa inherited the essence of traditional Chinese architecture, maintaining a unique artistic style that integrated ancient elegance, simplicity, and grandeur.
It was subtle, elegant, and secluded.
The high-ceilinged foyer and grand entrance, the round arched windows and corner stonework all exuded opulence and nobility.
"Truly magnificent!"
The Su family members exclaimed sincerely, their eyes filled with envy.
Only Su Yuxin was full of displeasure. If it weren't for Chen Fan's meddling, she would still be able to enter and exit Villa Number One at any time, even hosting parties inside. Just thinking about it made her feel proud.
But all of that was ruined by Chen Fan.
"Wait, there seems to be someone in Villa Number One."
Someone in the Su family crowd suddenly shouted.
All eyes turned back to Villa Number One.
Indeed, through the window, a figure could be vaguely seen walking around casually inside.
Did the super-rich magnate who spent three hundred million yuan all at once move in so quickly?
Jiang Shaolong was shocked.
