Chapter 846 - 578
The two of them fawned in vain, both left with awkward expressions.
Third Aunt gritted her teeth.
"How did Xia Liang's family become so wealthy? They used to be the poorest among our relatives!"
The third cousin looked on with envy and jealousy.
"Even my Liu Fugui doesn't have as much money! He only bought a 140 square meter one, while they directly got a 280 square meter king layout! Comparing with others just drives you crazy!"
At this moment, the third cousin's phone rang.
Her face lit up with delight, and she answered the call.
A stern voice came from the other end.
"How's it going? Did you get the house I told you to buy?"
The call was from Liu Fugui, the tycoon the third cousin latched onto, whom Third Aunt always referred to as son-in-law, though everyone in the family knew the third cousin wanted to officially marry him, but Liu Fugui kept delaying.
Liu Fugui made a fortune in the leather business and claimed he could never spend it all in his lifetime, strutting around town, often bossing Xia Liang's family around.
Yet the third cousin snorted coldly, not in a good mood.
"I handled it for you! Embarrassing!"
"What's wrong?"
Liu Fugui asked unhappily.
"Am I not giving you face? I asked you to handle something, and you find it embarrassing? In your whole family, who can currently buy a house?"
The third cousin retorted angrily.
"Don't even mention that house! Infuriating! When my mom and I were buying a house for you, we ran into my cousin Xia Liang! Do you know what they did? Went straight for a 5-Yuan king of the building, 280 square meters, twice the size of yours! I've lost all face because of you!"
"Ha, bluffing, he's fooling you?"
Liu Fugui didn't believe it at all, dismissive.
"Xia Liang, the poor working kid, where would he get that kind of money?"
"If you don't believe me, come see for yourself!"
The third cousin hung up abruptly.
Ever since seeing Xia Liang be richer than her big financial catch, the third cousin's mindset collapsed.
Sister, not bothered to serve anymore!
Especially since Xia Liang bought a 5-Yuan king of the building!
Even more furious!
Meanwhile, Liu Fugui was dumbfounded. At every family gathering, Liu Fugui took the lead role, appearing as the "family big shot"!
Arriving the latest, sitting at the highest seat, whoever he asked to drink had to drink! He even didn't hold Xia Liang's grandfather in his eyes previously.
He often said with a phrase.
"In family, ranks don't matter, money makes you the boss! Whoever is capable calls the shots!"
Using "success theory" to manipulate family relations, indulging in humiliating relatives, was he now actually despised by the third cousin?
This indignation, he couldn't swallow!
Liu Fugui got in his car and prepared to head over.
On the other side, Luu Juan and Xia Weiguo were viewing the model house Xia Liang had just bought.
The manager enthusiastically introduced it.
"Mister Xia purchased the king of the building, the same model as our showroom! Luxuriously fully equipped large single-story, three bedrooms, three living rooms, four bathrooms, the best view, the best floor, the best decor! 24-hour hot water, dedicated household butler at your service anytime."
Listening to the manager's introduction, the three occasionally nodded, compared to the villa they bought earlier, this could be considered trivial, so Luu Juan and Xia Weiguo weren't too amazed.
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from outside.
"Who has the money to buy a king of the building?"
Xia Liang frowned.
Just from the voice, he knew the bigwig the third cousin clung to had arrived.
Liu Fugui!
Liu Fugui combed his slick shiny hair back, his big belly wobbled, a large gold chain around his neck, holding a Gucci wallet, swaggered in with a conceited gait.
The third cousin and Third Aunt went to greet him.
"You're finally here! Xia Liang's become something impressive now."
Seeing the assertive tycoon, the two women immediately perked up, like dogs seeing their owner.
Liu Fugui squinted sideways, sizing Xia Liang up, snorted through his nose.
"Xia Liang, who knew? Really bought the house?"
Xia Liang, tired of dealing with this person, impatiently took out the house purchase contract.
"Blind? Try making a fake certificate here for me?"
Liu Fugui's lungs almost exploded with anger, this formerly poor kid actually talked to him like this.
He glanced at Xia Liang's purchase contract, sneered arrogantly.
"5 Yuan? Didn't realize you made money? But in front of me, you're just a kid!"
Then Liu Fugui sneered again and took out his phone, showing his bank balance.
"This kid probably spent all his savings on this building, I now have a savings of 10 Yuan! Do you have that kind of money, kid?"
Hearing Liu Fugui had so much money, Third Aunt and the third cousin nearly drooled!
"Xi Gui, we have skills but should stay low profile."
Third Aunt, cunning as ever, pretended to admonish her son-in-law while provocatively glancing at Xia Liang.
"How can you flaunt wealth? Letting people see, how bad!"
Liu Fugui snorted again, pointed at Xia Liang.
"I just want to teach this kid a lesson! With a bit of money, he's forgotten who he is? Made some pictures and wants to act big in front of me? Dream on!"
And just then, Xia Liang's phone received an Alipay notification.
"Your Alipay account, credited with 30 Yuan!"
It was a transfer from Qin Hang Company for aircraft rental, Xia Liang's phone wasn't loud, but the sweet female voice of the notice was enough for those nearby to hear clearly!
30 Yuan!
Just credited!
The boasting Liu Fugui suddenly froze, the grandeur on his face slowly turned into awkwardness, and his facial muscles twitched twice fiercely!
Xia Liang didn't say a word, but the phone notification slapped him hard in the face!
Third Aunt and the third cousin, the mother-daughter pair known for having sharp tongues, their mouths opened wide, so large you could fit a goose egg inside.
Overcome with emotion, countless words but alas no culture, one sentence "Wow" goes everywhere!
Watching them, Luu Juan and Xia Weiguo wanted to laugh but considered that they were elders, needing to maintain some dignity.
"Seems like I have more money and houses than you, huh? Want to keep comparing?"
Xia Liang responded calmly.
Liu Fugui, humiliated harshly by Xia Liang in front of hometown folks, even stepping on and rubbing him on the floor, was furious and turning purple.
What a humiliation! A humiliation Liu Fugui had never faced in his life!
He jumped, pointing at his newly bought black big G: "Aunt can endure, uncle cannot! You kid want to compete with me? How do you match me? This Master drives a Mercedes big G! Just got the new car, down payment 2.5 Yuan! I ask you how you compare?"
Liu Fugui looked proud.
The whole place was dumbfounded.
A kid asked.
"Dad, what does 'aunt can endure, uncle cannot' mean?"
His dad was helpless.
"It's 'what can be tolerated, what cannot be tolerated'! Don't listen to this uncultured rich guy blabbing nonsense!"
This time Xia Liang didn't even speak, instead Xia Weiguo quietly pulled out a key next to him and pressed a button.
Through the window, the car lights outside flashed once.
"Recognize it?"
Liu Fugui glanced, full of disdain.
"Isn't it just a crappy Volkswagen? What are you showing off?"
Seeing Liu Fugui's exasperation, Xia Weiguo also paused for a moment, but then a voice came over.
"What a country bumpkin! That's a Volkswagen with letters, a Hui Teng! W12 priced at 2.6 Yuan!"
"What? 2.6 Yuan?"
Liu Fugui froze again.
