Chapter 13 Mysterious Buyer

  • Three days later, in Su family’s mansion.
  • The grandmother organized a celebration party for Su Yimo and all of the relatives were present.
  • During the dinner, Su Yimo gave a detailed explanation on the collaboration with Rumo. The grandmother was just elated. As for the rest of the family members, they each had their own thoughts. Now that Su Yimo was destined to rise up, she would be assuming more important position in the company.
  • And since Rumo Real Estate wanted to make the West side the central, this project would definitely take a long time.
  • If the project doesn’t end, Su Yimo was just untouchable.
  • Su Ruijin had a grim expression. The man used to be the most excelling youngster in the company and the person that had the highest chance to be the chairman, the heir to the company. But now, Su Yimo became the person with real authorities. With that happening, his influence in the company would be weakened. Fortunately, Su Yimo was just a woman and Su Ruijin believed her grandmother wouldn’t leave the company to her.
  • Aside from the celebration party, there was another huge thing going on in Yun city - the mansion in Genting was up for auction.
  • Although the Su family dared not dream about something like that, they had their attentiveness towards the matter.
  • “The mansion in the middle of the hill is being auctioned. I wonder who could get it!”
  • “The only people that could afford the mansion in Yun city is limited to 3 families. Let’s see who was willing to spend more to prove themselves.”
  • “I heard the estimated price is around sixty million. They are simply burning their money!”
  • “For those real rich people, they just didn’t care about this little amount for their pride.”
  • Su Huiqi, Su Yimo’s cousin showed great confidence earlier when the Han family sent their ‘dowry’. She was cocksure that it was meant for her and at that time, she said leisurely, “Maybe someone else would get it, you never know~”
  • “Huiqi, are you saying…”
  • “Didn’t the Han family gave us their dowry and still haven’t showed up yet? Maybe they are just trying to keep up the sense of mystery and wanted to give me another huge surprise!” Su Huiqi said with a smile. She showed peerless confidence and she was assured that the Han family came for her.
  • When the rest of the unmarried young ladies from the family heard that, they were secretly offended.
  • However, it was also an undeniable fact that Su Huiqi was the most attractive one amongst them all. And it was highly likely for her to be the one.
  • “If that’s the case, then our Su family just might have the chance to move in the mansion in Genting!”
  • When the grandmother heard that, even she was roused. Although the collaboration with Rumo could eventually bring the family to the top tier, if the Han family were to really buy this mansion in the middle of the hill for them, the Su family were just even more exalted. And after that, they would partner up and the Su family would welcome a season of glory. They might even be able to surpass the current top 3 most prominent families! The grandmother wouldn’t even dare to dream of this before.
  • “Regrettably, he still hasn’t showed up yet.” the grandmother sighed. He gave such a costly present yet didn’t show himself. The grandmother was puzzled as well.
  • “A man like that must be planning something grander. When he is ready, he will be coming for me.” Su Huiqi said.
  • At that time, Han Jingru simply lowered his head and ate his food. He didn’t involve himself with their conversation.
  • Su Ruijin leered at him and said, “Han Jingru, no one is competing with you. Have you never eaten something this good?”
  • A lot of people giggled when they heard that. Even now that they didn’t dare to get on Su Yimo’s bed side, they have no problem bullying the matrilocal husband.
  • “I am just sick of these luxurious foods already.”
  • “But there are poorer people, it is just normal that a certain someone never tried it before.”
  • “I wonder how it feels to be such a poor loser.”
  • The old Madam cleared her throat and the words of deride stopped.
  • At that time, Su Wenyi received a call and his eyes widened in shock, “Such a high price? I thought it was estimated to be around sixty million?”
  • “Who was the one that got it?”
  • When the Su family heard him, they knew that he was talking about the auction and everyone looked at him intently.
  • “Got it.”
  • Su Wenyi hung up the phone and he was impassioned.
  • “That, what is the final price?” Su Ruijin asked impatiently.
  • “Eighty-nine million…” The father replied.
  • That astronomical amount made everyone’s jaw drop. Even the old Madam wasn’t able to calm down. It was twenty million more than the estimated worth and she could just imagine how fierce the bid was. Most importantly, that mansion didn’t cost that much at all. Eighty-nine million was just spent on someone’s personal contentment.
  • “I think Huiqi is right. It was a mysterious buyer and no one knew who he was!” Su Wenyi continued.
  • Su Huiqi straightened up her back the moment she heard that. She was just saying that casually and she didn’t expect it to be true!
  • If it was really the mysterious man from the Han family that bought it and she happened to be the favored lady, her future would completely change.
  • “He should be appearing any moment now.” Su Huiqi said with a longing face. Even if she didn’t know how the other person looked like, now that he was willing to spend so generously, it didn’t even matter if he was an old, ugly man. Su Huiqi would be able to stomach that.
  • “Grandma, us Su family can finally get inside Genting! Not only that, it is the most luxurious mansion in the middle of the hill!” Su Huiqi looked at her grandmother and said.
  • Even when the old Madam had her fair share of experience in life, she couldn’t help but get excited. They didn’t know who the person that bought the mansion was but the dowry was already sent to the Su family. It didn’t matter which lady from the Su the man favored, it was just good news to their family.
  • “Let’s just hope that he can appear hastily. For that matter, I had several sleepless nights already.” The grandmother said.
  • After the dinner, Han Jingru and Su Yimo took a stroll in the back yard together. The man stood about a meter away from her and he was a respectful gentleman.
  • “Will you feel jealous?” Han Jingru asked Su Yimo.
  • Su Yimo knew that Han Jingru was referring to the dowry and she nodded, “I am just a woman. Of course I will be jealous. But there is no need for that, right now is more than good for me.”
  • Han Jingru smiled gently when he heard the honest answer from Su Yimo. If she denied and said that she wasn’t jealous, Han Jingru might feel that she was pretentious. However, the man was assured that Su Yimo wouldn’t give such an answer.
  • “How rich could those people be that they can afford eighty-nine million for a mansion?” Su Yimo asked Han Jingru curiously.
  • Han Jingru pondered about it carefully and answered, “Maybe it was just his pocket money.”
  • Su Yimo gasped her mouth and she was just overwhelmed. Eighty-nine million pocket money? That was just an exaggeration.
  • “Do you think the person who bought the mansion is the same person that gave the dowry?” Su Yimo asked.
  • “Probably. After all, the dowry was quite a hefty amount.” Han Jingru nodded.
  • “It seemed that Su Huiqi would be the luckiest person in our family. To get married into such family, I wonder what kind of life she would live.” Su Yimo had nonwhatsoever jealousy look on her face, just pure curiosity.
  • “Even you think that it is Su Huiqi?” Han Jingru smiled.
  • “I can’t even deny even if I want to. She is indeed, the prettiest among us. And for someone so rich, she was the only one or at least, the most probable one.” Su Yimo answered straightforwardly.
  • “But you are definitely more beautiful.” Han Jingru said.
  • Su Yimo glared at Han Jingru furiously and said, “Have you lost your mind? I am already married. How can it be related to me?”
  • Han Jingru simply chuckled and said nothing.
  • Sometime later, Su Yimo was summoned by the Madam. She should have something to talk to her.
  • Han Jingru stayed alone in the garden. It was early in the summer and the flowers were blooming in full.
  • “Han Jingru, I hope you haven’t forgotten the time you attacked me!” Su Ruijin approached Han Jingru from behind and said grimly.
  • The moment Han Jingru turned over and saw that the man was alone, he scoffed, “If you want to avenge yourself, I would advise you to get more helpers.”
  • Su Ruijin shook her head, “Why would I bother with a trash like you? You are just a matrilocal in the Su family, don’t you know your own place? Why should I stoop so low because of you?”
  • “Then what are you doing here?” Han Jingru was puzzled.
  • Su Ruijin simply sneered, “I simply want to tell you, don’t think that you can act all high and mighty now that Su Yimo got a better position. You will always be the lowly matrilocal man in the Su family. A trash in our eyes!”
  • Han Jingru simply smiled indifferently. The man wasn’t interested with petty arguments.
  • When Su Ruijin saw that Han Jingru wasn’t angry nor arguing back, he gritted his teeth, “You are truly a piece of trash. Even after I scolded you, you are able to swallow it in. Why don’t you take a look at your idiotic and pathetic look?”
  • “Su Ruijin, are you trying to taunt me to beat you up? And then go complain about me in front of grandma? Is that all you are capable of? Can you please at least use your brain a little? This kind of petty tricks are useless before me.” Han Jingru chuckled.
  • Su Ruijin gnashed his teeth. He hadn’t expected the plan that he came up after a long thinking was easily exposed.
  • Not only that, this piece of trash insulted him being petty!
  • “By the way, if I want to beat you up, I can just do that anywhere. In the Su family mansion? Even if right now we are in front of grandma, I won’t have any fear. Say, how long do you want to get admitted?” Han Jingru stepped forward.
  • Su Ruijin was frightened and he backed away. The man was completely intimidated.
  • Han Jingru simply smiled and left the garden.
  • Su Ruijin burned in anger and he stomped furiously in the garden. He hated himself for backing away earlier. Why was he afraid of a trash like that!? So what if Su Yimo got more influence in the company, it didn’t mean that her trash of a husband was the same.
  • “Han Jingru, I will definitely make you kneel before me and apologize. I swear on my name!”
  • Su Yimo talked to the old Madam for about half an hour, but Han Jingru didn’t ask anything. From Su Yimo’s expression, he could make some guess already.
  • The grandmother warned him earlier that he shouldn’t covet the family asset. Probably she was speaking of concern about this matter.
  • “Are you free tomorrow afternoon?” Su Yimo asked Han Jingru.
  • “Of course. How can I have anything to do?” Han Jingru replied.
  • “Accompany me to go shopping. I have a date with my bestie. Can you come to be our escort?” Su Yimo said.
  • Han Jingru agreed right away, “Of course.”
