Going home for Chinese New Year, I squeezed onto a bus with three energetic young women.

Chapter 366 The Gift~~

The sunlight outside was blinding, and the courtyard was already packed with people.

The residents of this building and the people in the neighboring buildings all craned their necks and pricked up their ears.

This group of people had all heard the drama that had just unfolded inside the room.

As soon as the person in question appeared, the crowd automatically parted to make way, but the whispers grew louder and louder.

"Wow, this is some serious gossip today. I've never heard of anything so outrageous in my life."

"Who can argue with that? These three—grandfather and grandson—usually act all high and mighty around here; who would have thought?"

The old woman who was just playing mahjong with the landlady in the yard was now holding a handful of sunflower seeds, laughing so hard her dentures almost flew off.

"Haha, let me tell you something even funnier."

"Just now, while we were playing mahjong, that old woman was bragging to me that her house was going to be demolished soon."

"She even said she'd take me to karaoke and have me pick out some handsome male models."

She spat out the sunflower seed shells:

"Now look what's happened! Not only is our dream of getting a house through demolition ruined, but our whole family is devastated!"

An elderly man in a t-shirt nearby chimed in:

"Of course, didn't that man just say this yard was an illegal structure?"

"When this old woman wakes up in a while, I'll go ask her if she wants to rent my empty room."

The old man rubbed his hands together, a malicious smile on his face.

"But you have to pay next year's rent in advance, not a penny less!"

A burst of laughter erupted around them.

Li Jiaxin scoffed at these words.

She reached out and straightened her grandmother's collar, then muttered a curse in a low voice:

"A bunch of scoundrels who kick someone when they're down."

Bai Li walked beside him, listening to the mocking voices around her.

"This is what they call 'when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down'."

Bai Li's tone was flat:

"A bunch of fair-weather friends, they're good at bragging and joking around when things are going well, but when you're down on your luck, they'll turn on you and kick you while you're down."

If things continue like this, the more arrogant that old woman was in this tenement, the more she will be bullied in the future.

Moreover, this intelligence network is incredibly powerful.

Within two days, the story of this grandfather, grandfather, and grandson will definitely spread throughout Ping County, making them the new kings of clowns.

Bai Li led the grandmother and grandson to Palamera.

Li Jiaxin walked to the back of the car and stuffed the woven bag into the back seat.

Grandma stood to the side, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, looking at the luxury car with trepidation.

"Jiaxin, don't get their car dirty."

The old man didn't even dare to touch it, for fear of scratching off a piece of paint.

Li Jiaxin pushed the bag inside:

"It's alright, Grandma, my brother's car is sturdy."

Li Jiaxin turned around, opened the car door, and helped the elderly man into the back seat.

After settling her grandmother in, she plopped down in the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt.

Bai Li got into the driver's seat and started the car.

"Let's go, brother."

Li Jiaxin turned to look at him and began arranging the rest of the itinerary:

"Let's go for a walk up ahead and help Grandma find a new place to rent. The environment there is alright."

Bai Li didn't rush to shift gears.

He placed his hands on the steering wheel, turned to look at the young woman in the passenger seat, and began speaking in a deliberately mysterious manner:

"Don't rush to find a place. Jiaxin, I have a gift for you."

"A gift?" Li Jiaxin was stunned.

She tilted her head and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything:

"It's not a holiday today, why should I give you a gift?"

Bai Li chuckled softly:

"It was Children's Day a while ago, and I didn't celebrate it with you then, so I'm making up for it now."

Li Jiaxin rolled her eyes on the spot; this excuse was far too casual.

"Big brother, are you kidding me?"

Li Jiaxin pointed to her own nose and retorted without restraint:

"How old are we? Our hair is almost up to our belly buttons! Why are we still celebrating Children's Day?"

"Ahem!"

The grandmother in the back seat coughed violently at those words, and hurriedly slapped her thigh.

"You brat, you can't watch your mouth, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Li Jiaxin stuck out her tongue, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.

Bai Li was too lazy to argue with her.

"What I say goes."

Bai Li opened his palm and held it out to her:

"Stop talking nonsense and show me your ID card."

"Why do you need my ID?" Li Jiaxin was completely confused.

Although she complained, her hands moved without hesitation.

She took out her ID card from her pocket and slapped it into Bai Li's palm.

She would hand over even her underwear to this man, let alone an ID card.

Bai Li picked up his ID card, took out his phone, and took a picture of both sides.

Then I opened WeChat and sent the photo.

I also sent a voice message:

"Let's register it under this name."

Li Jiaxin leaned forward to peek at his phone screen:

"What gift is it, brother?"

"I have to send my ID card to someone else? Are you trying to sell me to northern Myanmar to be a pimp?"

Bai Li opened the photo album and a few pictures appeared.

He handed the phone to Jiaxin:

"Look, isn't it beautiful?"

Li Jiaxin took the phone and looked down at the screen, scrolling through it.

The picture shows a real-life photo of a house.

The apartment has a two-bedroom, one-living room layout with excellent natural light and a modern, minimalist decor.

The living room is furnished with a beige fabric sofa, and there is an exquisite tea set on the balcony. All the necessary appliances and furniture are provided.

"It looks really good."

Li Jiaxin scrolled through the photos and commented, her eyes lighting up:

"This must be a fully furnished apartment built by the developer, right? It's already furnished, so you can just move in without having to go through the hassle of decorating it yourself."

She returned the phone to Bai Li, without making any connection to herself.

"What's up?" Li Jiaxin asked casually.

"Brother, are you planning to buy another house? That looks good."

Bai Li did not answer the phone.

He looked at Li Jiaxin's bewildered face and sighed helplessly.

"Fool."

Bai Li reached out and ruffled her purple hair:

"Didn't I just say I was going to give you a belated Children's Day gift?"

These words lingered in the train carriage.

one second.

two seconds.

Li Jiaxin's brain was still processing the logical relationships of this information.
