Chapter 818: Chapter 341: New Problem—Tribulation Crossing_2

When they heard "less than," everyone subconsciously guessed in the range of 2.7 to 2.8 billion, and a wealthy lady unfamiliar with the market exclaimed.

"Oh my! Ah La heard the large units here are selling for 3.5 billion, your son-in-law truly is capable!"

However, the other two wealthy ladies involved in real estate had completely opposite reactions. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Bought it so expensive? What a fool!"

"So naive, didn’t even negotiate the price?"

Zhao Anni snorted arrogantly and retorted on the spot: "What do you know? When setting a dowry, the price isn’t important, what matters is the gesture! You’ve never seen anything like it, just like country folk!"

Wow, that was quite a blatant mockery...

But now it was Zhao Anni’s moment. No matter how they wanted to hit back, they couldn’t muster the courage when looking at the large house in front of them.

So the ladies turned their gaze to Han Lie, hoping to find fault with the young man.

Then...

They became more and more frustrated.

Zhao Anni waved to Han Lie with a smile: "Lie Lie, come here, come here!"

Han Lie obediently went over, standing there like a tool.

Zhao Anni raised her hand to measure and exclaimed, "Oh my! Little Lie, have you grown again recently? Must be over 1.85 meters, right? Your skin looks so good... Our family has really climbed up by pairing you two together!"

Han Lie grinned, showing a set of small white teeth, harmless, well-behaved, and sunny.

The wealthy ladies were immediately envious.

A whole tree of lemons wouldn’t be enough for them to chew; all they did was open their mouths and drool sourly.

But in the end, despite opening their mouths, they didn’t dare say anything.

Han Lie indeed had a bit of a striking presence now, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, good skin, great temperament, high looks, even against their wishes, they couldn’t find fault with his appearance.

"Come, let me introduce you to my good sisters, you’ll have to call them Auntie in the future..."

Zhao Anni led Han Lie to greet them one by one, chatting with each person for at least five sentences.

The excellent son-in-law naturally behaved very appropriately, composed, enthusiastic, not flamboyant, scoring a full score of full points.

Until Zhao Anni had flaunted enough, Luo Zhen finally got the chance to come up and greet.

Coincidentally, there was an aunt surnamed Wang whom he knew, a friend of his mother’s friend.

Auntie Wang quietly pulled Luo Zhen aside and asked, "How much was that villa after all?"

Luo Zhen patted his chest and insisted, "The original price was 3.68 billion, but our company had something to negotiate with them, the actual payment was less than 3 billion... Really, would I lie to you?"

Auntie Wang was completely resigned, murmuring, "What kind of dog luck does the Zhao family have? Stepping in shit every day when going out?!"

It was hilarious.

Until the pleasantries were mostly exchanged, everyone entered the villa’s threshold, but then the ladies finally found another opportunity to express.

"The renovation is so-so..."

"Neither classy nor elegant..."

"Oh my, what are these curtains?"

"I’m not being picky, but how is this kitchen worse than the flat one in my home?"

Oh boy, walked right into it, all bumped into Zhao Anni’s embrace...

She immediately waved her hand forcefully, full of vigor: "No, no, this place doesn’t suit my two kids! Luo, tear down all the renovations, I’ll find someone to redo it.

The budget starts at one billion, no ceiling... I’ll pay for this!"

Luo Zhen’s head buzzed immediately.

No way?!

With a modern style, if you don’t buy expensive art pieces, it’s hard to spend even 50 million, now you’re adding more?!

And just like that, she doubles the minimum budget...

Ms. Zhao, I can’t handle this job!

Luo Zhen wasn’t the type unfamiliar with money and wouldn’t be shocked by a mere billion, but the problem is, he had proactively taken the task upon himself, hence the worry now was how to spend that money...

While he was at a loss, the dog Lie was stunned as well.

I knew it, nothing good comes when you suddenly show up!

Throwing that renovation budget out doubles my experience points, but you won’t let me spend it... How is that supposed to work?!

"No, Auntie Zhao, I have the money..."

Han Lie just wanted to argue, but Zhao Anni interrupted him undeniably.

"I know you have money, but this isn’t just your business, decide the style yourself, but all other matters, you don’t need to bother!

Don’t worry, I have so many good sisters, they’ll surely help make it beautiful for you..."

This statement made everyone want to cry.

The ladies thought: I damn sure am not your good sister, don’t go turning to me when it comes to anything, don’t expect me to set foot in this house ever again!

Luo Zhen thought: It’s settled, everything we just discussed, completely disregarded... negotiating renovation with a woman, especially one waiting to marry off a daughter... just let me die!

Han Lie thought: Well, the experience is completely gone... spending some money really is a damn chore!

Only Pan Ge was happy.

She delightedly pondered: Dad seems to have some painting, reluctant to hang it normally, must get it to hang in Lie Lie’s study room later...

Right, grandpa seems to know some calligraphy artist, have mom ask for a piece later...

Old Pan’s attempt at sophistication with that cigar lounge, does it store anything good? But I don’t understand it... Never mind, take it all back and pick slowly!

The more Pan thought, the more thrilled she became, she simply couldn’t wait to move in.

So she clingingly asked, "Mom, when can you get all this done?"
