My Ares Son-in-Law

"Grandma, it's not like only this house has good feng shui. Let's go look at other houses! Don't be so disrespectful!"

Zhou Hao started to walk out as he spoke.

Grandma Zhou tapped her cane on the ground again. "You stop right there! I'm spending my own money, and I make the decisions!"

Zhou Hao stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Old Madam Zhou, and looked somewhat embarrassed.

Grandma Zhou said coldly, "I said, buy it. Buy it here. High-rise is fine, as long as it's livable. How old are you? Why are you acting like a child, throwing a tantrum? We're going to get a house here eventually."

Zhou Hao gritted his teeth, but in the end he did not disobey his great-aunt's wishes. He didn't dare to disobey her. Outside, it was only because of this old lady Zhou that he had an endless amount of pocket money. Otherwise, with his playboy nature, he would have spent all the money long ago.

The sales associate breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Zhou, you see we have several high-rise apartments here, with excellent layouts. They're well-ventilated, facing north and south, and have a direct view of the lake..."

Zhou Hao waved his hand impatiently, about to speak, when he suddenly caught sight of two figures on the other side of the hall.

"Oh, isn't this Keying?"

Zhou Keying sighed. There was no way to hide now. She had wanted to leave when the Zhou family from the capital came in, but Xiao Chen didn't want to leave, so she could only stand there. Sure enough, she was discovered.

"Zhou Hao." She gritted her teeth, her mood not very good.

Zhou Hao strode over, followed by Zhou Xiaoyu, Old Madam Zhou, and several other members of the Zhou family from the capital.

"Zhou Keying, what are you doing here? Looking at houses? This is Pingshan Lake, the most expensive area in the provincial capital. Are you sure you didn't come to the wrong place?"

As expected, this guy started mocking me as soon as he arrived. He really doesn't learn a lesson. It truly proves the old saying, "If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!"

Zhou Xiaoyu laughed too, her laughter sharp and piercing. "Oh, people have high aspirations, you know. It's free to come and see. Just think of it as a stroll in the park, it's good to broaden one's horizons."

She was already angry with the sales assistant, and now that she saw Zhou Keying, she seized the opportunity to vent her anger, launching into a vicious attack of mockery and ridicule.

Zhou Keying frowned even more. Was this family crazy? What was wrong with her coming here? Even if she was just here to visit, what was wrong with humiliating her like this?

Those Zhou family bastards from the capital city seized her company and house as soon as they arrived, and now they want to humiliate her? Maybe they even used their family's money to buy the house.

That's absolutely outrageous.

"We really are here to look at houses." Xiao Chen was drawn over by Zhou Hao and Zhou Xiaoyu's barking dogs. "But why are there two dogs barking in this sales office? Aren't they on leashes?"

"Damn it, you dare to insult us!"

Zhou Hao cursed and was about to confront Xiao Chen, but stopped when he thought of his still-healing injuries.

"You? Buy a house? Buy a house in Pingshan Lake? Xiao Chen, are you still dreaming? Do you know how much a house costs per square meter here? 100,000! A full 100,000 to start! With your poor appearance, can your monthly salary even buy a single tile here? I bet you can't even afford a fraction of the price of a tile!" Since he couldn't fight, and couldn't win, he would try to gain the upper hand verbally. That was Zhou Hao's strategy.

Zhou Xiaoyu also retorted sarcastically, "Oh, gigolo, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of renting a place here, would you? Too bad, Ping Shan Lake only sells, they don't rent, they don't cater to poor bastards like you. How about I kindly point you in the right direction, why don't you go check out the affordable housing next door? It's cheap there, only a few thousand yuan per square meter, maybe if you save for ten or eight years you can even scrape together a down payment!"

Grandma Zhou didn't laugh; she maintained the air of an elder throughout. However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xiao Chen carried a deep-seated contempt.

She really didn't understand why a pretty girl like Zhou Keying wouldn't pursue those rich young men, but instead chose to hang out with this gigolo. Was it really just because he was handsome?

Can being handsome put food on the table?
madness!

In her mind, Xiao Chen was like an ant, and she couldn't even be bothered to curse him.

Seeing that Xiao Chen remained silent, Zhou Hao became even more smug. "Xiao Chen, for Ke Ying's sake, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you a suggestion. The smallest apartment in the high-rise buildings next to you is 120 square meters, and the total price is only a little over ten million. If you can afford that smallest apartment, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa, how about that?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Zhou Hao disdainfully: "You're getting too cocky. Why would I buy a high-rise? If I'm going to buy something, I'll buy the biggest villa."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire sales center fell silent. Everyone was stunned by this boast. Good heavens, this guy really knows how to brag.

A moment later, everyone burst into laughter. Not only were the Zhou family members from the capital laughing, but the customers who were looking at the house were also laughing. It was good that the young man cared about his image, but this boast was really too much.

A middle-aged man in a custom-made Armani suit was holding a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. He was laughing so hard that he spilled the coffee, splashing it all over his expensive suit, but he didn't even notice.

There was also a wealthy woman, adorned with jewels and carrying a Hermès bag, who covered her mouth and laughed hysterically, but her eyes were full of disdain for someone who was crazy, as if Xiao Chen's story was a fantasy.

Several sales consultants nearby couldn't help but lower their heads, secretly suppressing their laughter. Their gazes towards Xiao Chen held a hint of disdain, as if they were watching a clown. Even Lin Yue, who had just been there, was holding back her laughter.

She knew that the largest villa was already taken, and even if the young man could afford it, he would never be able to buy it.

This guy is completely clueless, yet he tries to show off in front of his girlfriend, only to become a complete clown.

"Hahaha, the biggest villa?" Zhou Hao laughed until tears almost streamed down his face. "Xiao Chen, do you know how big the biggest villa is? 1,200 square meters! A full 1,200 square meters! The total price is 180 million! 180 million! You could work yourself to death your whole life and never earn that much money! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve it?"

Zhou Xiaoyu laughed until her stomach hurt: "You gigolo, what's wrong with you? Have you lost your mind? Do you want me to help you book a psychologist? I know a good one. He specializes in treating your kind of delusions!"

Zhou Keying felt incredibly embarrassed and wished she could disappear into the ground, but when she turned her head and saw Xiao Chen's calm expression, she suddenly felt a strange sense of confidence.

"Shut up, all of you! Who said Xiao Chen can't afford a villa here? You're all laughing so happily. If Xiao Chen bought the biggest villa here, would you still be laughing? You're just ignorant frogs in a well! You look down on a true god!"

Xiao Chen remained silent, his disdain evident. Zhou Keying, however, couldn't bear such mockery and shouted back. (End of Chapter)
