The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 200: Chapter 112: A Male Lead’s Relative (Part 16)

Even though they had a foundation of five hundred thousand and even though He Tiantian had mentioned something like ”might even get a house,” when He Tiantian actually earned a house, the Ye couple was so shocked they dropped their jaws.

”House, a house? A small mansion of about 200 square meters?”

Mrs. Ye’s voice trembled as she spoke, unable to believe it, she directly stretched out two fingers and pinched Mr. Ye’s waist hard.

”Ow!” Mr. Ye cried out in pain instinctively.

”Why are you yelling so loudly?” Mrs. Ye just wanted to confirm whether she was dreaming, but she was startled by the old man’s loud cries.

She scolded Mr. Ye in annoyance.

Mr. Ye: ...You pinched me so suddenly and so painfully, of course, I screamed!

But as an ordinary man from Hua Country who depended on his wife, Mr. Ye only dared to enjoy his complaints internally.

On the surface, he did not dare to say half a word.

Of course, compared to the pain in his waist, Mr. Ye was even more concerned about the house that He Tiantian mentioned.

”Xiao Tian, you, you aren’t deceiving us, are you? You just did Wenyuan a favor, and he, he just gave you a house?”

”In a high-end community like Scholarly Family?”

Mr. Ye followed Mrs. Ye, asking repeatedly to make sure.

However, before He Tiantian could clarify again, Ye Chen, who had gone to the balcony and finished calling Su Wenyuan, spoke first: ”That’s right, Dad, Mom, I’ve already asked Wenyuan!”

Ye Chen looked with complex eyes at his smug adopted cousin and slowly said, ”Wenyuan said that this time Xiao Tian has done him a great favor, not only demoralized a wealthy young man from the Capital City, saved his family’s racetrack, but also helped him smoothly enter into the social circles of the Capital City!”

Although Ye Chen was not part of the wealthy second-generation circle, he had a best friend who was the sole heir of a tycoon.

Since Su Wenyuan dropped his guard in front of Ye Chen, the two became close brothers, chatting and drinking together routinely, and Su Wenyuan would occasionally share interesting stories and gossip from their circle.

Su Wenyuan didn’t boast—it was purely sharing these as casual topics with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen and Su Wenyuan had a friendship of gentlemen, free from any utilitarian motives, but that didn’t mean Ye Chen wasn’t curious about the affairs of the wealthy circles.

Every time, Ye Chen listened to these stories as if they were anecdotes.

Having heard a lot, even though he was not exceptionally interested, Ye Chen had learned some rules.

Su Wenyuan spoke about it lightly, but Ye Chen knew that the so-called bet was actually mutual probing between the Su Family and the family behind Second Young Master Jin from the Capital City.

The Jin Family wanted to step into the Provincial City’s territory, while the Su Family wanted to use the Jin Family to break into the Capital City.

Both families were not mortal enemies; even if it was for their interests, they would not rashly start a conflict.

Instead, they chose a manner, cautiously probing.

It just so happened that both Second Young Master Jin and Su Wenyuan knew archery, regardless of how well they shot, it always provided a reason for the bet.

Today, with ”He Tian”’s help, on the surface, Su Wenyuan won. However, the Jin Family did not suffer.

They helped the Su Family enter the Capital City’s circle, and the Su Family would allow the Jin Family to operate in the Provincial City.

Both families achieved a certain level of mutual benefit.

Of course, if ”He Tian” had not helped Su Wenyuan win, the surface winner would have been Second Young Master Jin.

The Su Family would not have lost out, but it would have been a bit unsightly in regards to face.

Thus, Su Wenyuan was so grateful to ”He Tian,” willing to give away a reward worth five to six million.

Five to six million!

Just because he won a bet, his adopted cousin earned such a huge sum of money.

Even though Ye Chen was the male lead, composed and morally sound, he felt a slight twinge of jealousy at that moment.

But soon, Ye Chen felt happy for his cousin.

Moreover, Ye Chen thought his cousin’s choice was very wise; he didn’t ask for money, but instead took a house.

The large flat in Scholarly Family was in a good location, key school district, and the community’s hardware and software amenities were very complete.

Such a luxurious residential area set the record for the highest property prices in Provincial City right when it launched.

It was said that the property prices were still rising, almost no good units were left.

It was only because Su Wenyuan’s family were the developers that they had kept some; otherwise, even if one went to the sales office with money, they might not be able to buy the desired house.

Given this hot trend, by the time the houses were ready for delivery, the price might rise to thirty-five thousand per square meter.

By then, ”He Tian” could make nearly a million just from one house.
