Chapter 13: Chapter 13 A Small Matter
Chu Chen arrived at Yuetan Garden. After the property management confirmed that Chu Chen was the new owner of Villa No. 6, they immediately sent a very attractive female employee to guide him.
"Villa No. 6 ranks in the top three in terms of land area in the entire Yuetan Garden."
Arriving at Villa No. 6, Yang Rui smiled and introduced it to Chu Chen, showing particular enthusiasm as she faced a top-tier rich and handsome man.
"Villa No. 6 covers an area of about 1,500 square meters. As soon as you enter, you're greeted by an 8-meter high entry hall, exuding grandeur."
Opening the villa door, Yang Rui introduced it.
Upon entering, Chu Chen was stunned. Even the foyer was 8 meters high.
"Villa No. 6 has 3 floors, with all amenities like a private swimming pool, wine cellar, gym, spa, and KTV."
Under Yang Rui's lead, Chu Chen arrived at the living room.
"Both walls of the living room are floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a full view of Lin Yue Lake with excellent lighting."
"All the sofas here are from FENDI, handcrafted."
"Aside from sofas, most of the furniture is Giorgetti, a luxury brand with a 200-year history known for blending the warmth of wood, the modernity of metal, the classic touch of stone, and the luxury of leather."
"The round muted white bathtub is elegant yet passionate. All bathroom products in the villa are from Duravit, ensuring absolute comfort."
Listening to Yang Rui's introduction, Chu Chen nodded.
Chu Chen had heard of Duravit before. Dubbed the Rolls-Royce of the bathroom world, Duravit's prices were notoriously high.
After introducing the interior, Yang Rui took Chu Chen to the villa's backyard.
The first thing that caught the eye was a huge infinity pool, followed by a design reminiscent of Southern gardens.
"The backyard was designed by a master landscaper."
"This is a rockery constructed from Taihu Stones, the king of the four famous stones, and this over-a-century-old wisteria cost millions to find in the forest..."
The entire backyard was filled with rare flowers and unique rocks.
After the introduction, Yang Rui reluctantly left, leaving Chu Chen alone in the villa.
Sitting on the large Fendi sofa, Chu Chen gazed at Lin Yue Lake in the distance, feeling deeply moved. This was the life of the wealthy.
The next day, the weather was nice in the morning. Chu Chen walked out of the villa and came to the side of Lin Yue Lake.
Not far away, a beautiful woman in sportswear, looking very capable and scoring above 90 in appearance, was jogging over.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Chu Chen, the capable woman was slightly stunned, a bit taken aback by Chu Chen's attractiveness.
"Hello, new neighbor."
Jogging up to Chu Chen, the capable woman stopped.
"I'm the owner of the adjacent Villa No. 5."
"Hello."
The two exchanged a few brief words, and then the capable woman left.
She was no longer the kind of girl in her twenties who would be so mesmerized by a handsome guy that she couldn't move.
Thinking this, the capable woman turned and sneaked another look at Chu Chen. He was indeed very handsome.
...
"I should buy some clothes."
As the season changed, Chu Chen noticed he didn't have many clothes to wear.
Several figures quickly appeared in Chu Chen's mind. Who should he ask to accompany him?
Su Chuqing, no, no, he had just rejected her, and it would be awkward to reach out after only a few days.
"Oh, right, Mo Yuwan."
In an instant, Chu Chen thought of his beautiful secretary. The first time he saw Mo Yuwan, Chu Chen was quite shocked.
Mo Yuwan's fashion sense fit Chu Chen's aesthetic very well.
A few minutes later, Mo Yuwan hurriedly arrived at Chu Chen's villa from the company.
"Mr. Chu, what can I do for you?"
After receiving Chu Chen's call about something urgent, Mo Yuwan immediately paused her work and rushed over.
"I feel lonely shopping alone. Come with me."
While speaking, Chu Chen opened the door of the Koenigsegg.
Hearing this, Mo Yuwan felt conflicted, not knowing whether to be happy or helpless.
For Mr. Chu to think of her first when it came time to shop made her emotionally stirred.
At the same time, she felt a bit helpless about her boss, who was handsome, rich, but somewhat unreliable.
"Okay."
Despite having mixed feelings, Mo Yuwan honestly climbed into the car.
The two arrived at the nearest Wanxiang City.
Wanxiang City was touted as the shopping center that housed the highest concentration of top luxury brands in the country, with Hermès, LV, and Fan Sizhe all lined up in a row.
Upon entering, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan walked into the LV store.
The large LV store had only a few customers.
Mo Yuwan, with her good taste and knowledge of various luxury brands, quickly helped Chu Chen pick out several nice pieces of clothing.
Chu Chen handed the card to Mo Yuwan for checkout while he continued to browse the store.
"Hey, isn't that Chu Chen?"
A customer who had just entered immediately recognized Chu Chen.
"Hmm?"
Chu Chen turned his head and saw the person calling out to him.
This person was none other than his previous blind date, Zhang Biyun, arranged by Aunt Wu from his hometown.
Chu Chen's family was from a small county where young people often married early.
Although Chu Chen went to college in Jiangzhou, many enthusiastic middle-aged women in his hometown still tried to introduce him to potential partners.
Aunt Wu had said that Zhang Biyun was the daughter of her old friend, working in Jiangzhou for two years. She was pretty, had a good personality, and so on.
Ultimately, Chu Chen reluctantly agreed.
But right from the start, Zhang Biyun caught Chu Chen off guard.
They had agreed to meet at 10 a.m., but Zhang Biyun arrived at 11 a.m.
To make matters worse, she didn't show any remorse for being late and even blamed Chu Chen.
"Isn't it normal to wait for pretty girls? It's just an hour," she said.
At that moment, Chu Chen was speechless. Zhang Biyun was, at best, a 70, while any random girl in his WeChat contact list could easily surpass her in looks.
Chu Chen didn't point it out and just wanted to get through it quickly, to account for it to his family.
But what Chu Chen didn't anticipate was that this was just the beginning of Zhang Biyun's antics. When they sat down, she started a long tirade, berating Chu Chen endlessly.
So, Chu Chen used the excuse of going to the bathroom to go to the front desk. He ordered every expensive dish in the restaurant and then left, leaving Zhang Biyun there.
Seeing Zhang Biyun again, Chu Chen didn't want to deal with her and prepared to leave.
"Don't go. Keep looking. You can only window-shop since you can't afford to buy anything," Zhang Biyun said.
Although her boyfriend was already 50 years old, he could still buy her an LV item occasionally, which was much better than Chu Chen.
"I really thank you. If I hadn't left that time, I would probably starve to death if I had followed you.
"It's been so long. You should still be single, right? Tsk tsk tsk," Zhang Biyun mocked.
Just then, a beautiful woman carrying seven or eight shopping bags walked over.
"So much?"
Seeing the beautiful woman, Zhang Biyun was instantly envious.
All her luxury items combined were no match for the woman's single shopping spree.
This much LV would cost at least three to four hundred thousand, she thought.
But in the next second, what happened made Zhang Biyun even more incredulous.
She saw the woman she envied so much walk up to Chu Chen and hand over a bank card.
"Mr. Chu, it cost 730,000."
"No big deal," Chu Chen said indifferently.
"Let's check out some other stores."
With that, Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan left the LV store, leaving Zhang Biyun standing there with her mouth agape.
At that moment, Zhang Biyun doubted her own hearing.
730,000?!
Did she hear it wrong?
