Heavenly Dragon Doctor Son-in-Law-Chapter 183 - 184: Martin Fails to Show Off!

"Otherwise, why would prices in the villa area keep dropping, while the courtyard houses remain sky-high and government policies keep favoring them?"

"You can’t even grasp the basic trends, yet you have the nerve to talk about buying a villa? Don’t make a fool of yourself in public!"

The surrounding saleswomen and several managers were dumbstruck.

Precise! Unbelievably precise! This was not an analysis an ordinary person could make.

Tang Xuewu and Tang Yuehua were also astonished. Although they weren’t experts, they could still understand the implications.

Qin Long is actually this impressive?

"Brother Long, that’s amazing! You’re a walking encyclopedia!" Xuexue looked at Qin Long with admiration.

"Qin Long, you son of a..." Put down by Qin Long yet again, Martin trembled with rage, clenching his teeth.

"Alright, that’s enough of your boasting!" Liu Xiaoyue snapped, far from pleased. "A broke loser is still a broke loser, no matter how much they talk! Honey," she cooed, turning to Martin, "I like that 5,000,000 villa. Let’s get it today!"

Martin’s pride was wounded. He waved his hand grandly. "Don’t worry, darling. We can pick whichever one we want!"

Liu Xiaoyue deliberately rubbed herself against Martin and shot Tang Xuewu a disdainful look before taking his arm and heading toward the villa section.

So what if Qin Long knows more? He can only watch as we put down a deposit and secure a villa, while he stands there gawking.

Liu Xiaoyue could hardly contain her joy. She shot Manager Li a meaningful glance, signaling him not to kick the others out just yet. She wanted to make the down payment and sign for the villa right in front of them, to humiliate Qin Long and Tang Xuewu completely.

Manager Li understood instantly and began to fawn over Liu Xiaoyue like a dog.

"Qin Long, let’s just look at a different complex," Tang Xuewu whispered, pushing him lightly from behind, a resigned look on her pretty face.

"We’re not leaving. We haven’t bought our courtyard house yet," Qin Long said, waving a hand dismissively, a cold smirk on his face. He didn’t want to cause trouble, but since someone was courting death, he couldn’t be blamed for what happened next.

"Villas are boring. If you’re going to buy something, buy a courtyard house. That’s where the real potential is," Qin Long said, looking pointedly at Liu Xiaoyue. "Otherwise, you’re guaranteed to lose money."

"Well, *I* happen to love buying villas. You got a problem with that?" Liu Xiaoyue snarled, glaring at Qin Long. She then yelled at the staff, "Show me your most luxurious villa!"

"And you, Qin Long, you broke loser! Open your eyes and watch closely!" Liu Xiaoyue’s expression turned cold. She was determined to humiliate Qin Long and Tang Xuewu, no matter the cost. She had been made a fool by him several times already, and this time, she was going to get her payback.

"Ms. Liu, our most luxurious villa is this one," Manager Li said, immediately turning on the large screen. "It’s in the Yulong Community’s Fish Dragon King Villa District."

"This is the final villa section we’re developing this year. The entire district is like a real Dragon Palace, exquisite in every detail. It has a natural hot spring out front, a private mountain with natural vegetation out back, and a panoramic, open-air terrace on the second floor, perfect for sunbathing."

"Best of all, it’s built to British royal standards. Many of Jiangzhong’s hottest celebrities and business tycoons live there."

Manager Li gave the introduction his all.

Liu Xiaoyue was truly stunned by the villa. She was already completely satisfied just from watching the video presentation. Plus, Manager Li had said it was built to British royal standards, guaranteeing it was noble and elegant.

This is exactly it. I want that feeling of being admired by everyone.

"I’ll take this one!" Liu Xiaoyue declared, pointing at the model with a haughty expression. "Darling, come and see!" she called out to Martin.

Martin sauntered over with an air of composure, humming a little tune. "Well now, this is quite nice. How much does it cost?"

Martin had brought over 8,000,000 with him today, so he was feeling supremely confident.

"Mr. Martin, Ms. Liu, this one isn’t expensive at all," Manager Li said, his face lighting up with excitement as he pictured his commission. "It’s only 21,990,000."

Martin’s jaw dropped. He froze on the spot.

What? I knew the houses here cost around 6,000,000. Even the most sought-after Fish Dragon King villas shouldn’t cost more than 9,000,000, right? But this guy is asking for over twenty million! I can’t afford that!

"We..." Martin’s expression changed dramatically, his face flushing red as he started to stammer.

Liu Xiaoyue had never dreamed the price would be so astronomical. But she’d already put on such a show in front of Qin Long and Tang Xuewu. If they backed out now, wouldn’t that be a complete and utter humiliation?

"Honey..." Liu Xiaoyue whined sweetly, looking at Martin.

Over twenty million! Are you fucking kidding me? You stupid woman! Martin cursed inwardly. Even as a vice president, he only made a few million a year. If his family found out he’d bought such an expensive house, they’d break his legs.

"Young Master Martin, we can give you a discount. We can negotiate," Manager Li said quickly, seeing the look on their faces and offering them an out.

"And with a discount?" Martin asked, staring at Manager Li warily.

"I can knock off the extra. How about an even 20,000,000?" Manager Li said with a broad smile. After all, he was helping them save nearly 2,000,000, wasn’t he?

Twenty million?! Where the hell am I going to get another twelve million? I only brought eight million! Martin screamed internally.

"You know, dear..." Martin began, desperately trying to find an excuse. "The location isn’t great. Look, you’re surrounded by that Fish Dragon Mountain. It just doesn’t seem right..."

"What are you talking about? I think it’s lovely! Those are minor details," Liu Xiaoyue said, waving his concerns away. She adored this villa. "And it has a hot spring! How wonderful! It’s like a paradise on earth!"

"But... but..." Martin looked like he’d swallowed a fly. It’s not your money, you wasteful woman! Twenty million for a villa? My family would skin me alive!

"Martin, I already boasted to Tang Xuewu that we were buying it!" Liu Xiaoyue hissed, looking at him with utter frustration. "If we don’t buy it, we’re getting a divorce!"

Martin fell silent. He gritted his teeth, and steeling himself, his heart bleeding as he forced out the words, "Fine! Fine! We’ll take it!" he declared, then waved his hand grandly to feign composure. "But I’ll need to have the villa inspected, and I’ll just make the down payment for now."

"No problem at all, Young Master Martin! Those are minor details!" Manager Li was so excited he looked ready to jump for joy. He immediately rushed off to prepare the installment agreement.

"So, what’s the down payment?" Martin asked, crossing his arms behind his back to appear arrogant.

Twenty million... twenty percent down would be four million. I brought eight million, so that’s no problem.

"Young Master Martin, this villa is a limited edition for this year, so it requires a sixty percent down payment. That would be 12,000,000," Manager Li explained respectfully.

Martin’s face fell once more.

What? Twelve million?! Fuck! I’m still four million short!

"Hold on," he said, pulling out his phone. "I have to take a call."
