Chapter 869 - 601: Coveted Yet Disdained
"No, no, no!"
Xia Liang suddenly stood up and stopped them, smiling.
"Cousin, Fourth Aunt, did you forget? You were busy today preparing to welcome Jiu Xuechen, and you entrusted me with going to the demolition office to get your property documents, didn't you? Well, I brought back the two property documents for your house."
Xia Liang's words left the whole room dumbfounded!
Property documents?
Demolition?
This was a lie all along, how could we not know if it were true?
Xia Liang casually took out a thick stack of brand-new property documents from his backpack, exuding the fresh smell of ink.
The red covers were still a bit sharp, a full dozen of them. Without even looking, Xia Liang pulled out two and handed them to Liang Yong.
"Cousin, here are the two property documents for your house! You'll have to treat me to dinner later."
Xia Liang winked at Liang Yong.
Liang Yong was utterly confused and seemed petrified, yet with a hint of gratitude, feeling this couldn't be real, as if in a dream.
I was just randomly making stuff up, pretending, showing off a bit.
Why is it that every time I show off, Xia Liang manages to cover for me?
Liang Yong didn't care about much else anymore, feeling all grateful, he gave Xia Liang a thumbs up!
He leaned toward Xia Liang's ear.
"Brother, no, from now on I'll call you Bro! You're like a real brother to me."
Having been saved by Xia Liang, like receiving a pardon, Liang Yong handed the two new property documents to Jiu Xuechen.
"See! I wasn't lying to you, was I? Hahaha..."
Jiu Xuechen stared at the ten other identical property documents in Xia Liang's hand and suddenly asked.
"These property documents all look alike, how do you know these two belong to Liang Yong? And who do the remaining ten belong to?"
Liang Yong almost burst into tears upon hearing this, why is it always me who gets hurt?
Damn it! This woman is really meticulous.
Jiu Xuechen opened a property document, glanced at it, and coldly tossed it back to Liang Yong.
"The property owner here clearly says Xia Liang! You actually took your brother's property documents to show off here! Deceptive! Shameless, aren't you?"
Liang Yong was instantly petrified!
He grabbed the property document and took a closer look, feeling the world spinning; all the owner names were Xia Liang.
Even with Liang Yong's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush like a monkey's butt.
This is extremely awkward, he looked to Xia Liang for help.
Xia Liang coughed once, and this time he put on an act of checking, and pulled out two property documents.
"Sorry, I seem to have made a mistake! These are actually yours!"
Fourth Aunt quickly laughed it off, looking up at the sky.
"Haha, Xia Liang, you're really careless; how could you mix up something like this? Alright, just give me the documents."
Jiu Xuechen grabbed it instantly.
"It's still Xia Liang's! All the property owners are Xia Liang!"
Xia Liang acted embarrassed, and tried again.
"These two shouldn't be wrong."
"Still yours!"
Liang Yong was so embarrassed at that point that he couldn't handle it, why? Why is it like this? Why are Xia Liang's hands suddenly full of property documents? Why is his name on all of them? Why is it that every time I show off, Xia Liang seems to actually have it?
From Bitcoins to demolition houses, he was pretending, but Xia Liang is genuinely impressive!
Xia Liang flipped through all the property documents swiftly!
"Xia Liang's, Xia Liang's, every single one is Xia Liang's! These 12 property documents, they're all Xia Liang's!"
Jiu Xuechen gave Liang Yong a cold stare.
"What exactly do you mean? Are you showing off yourself, or showing off that you have a great brother?"
Liang Yong felt she had a point! After all this, what am I really trying to achieve?
Xia Liang continued to praise Liang Yong.
"Speaking of my cousin, his exceptional points are not just these..."
"Thud!"
Suddenly, Liang Yong grabbed Xia Liang; the scene instantly got out of control, and all the relatives present were astonished.
Xia Liang was also taken aback.
"Cousin, what are you doing?"
Liang Yong was crying buckets, wailing.
"I beg you, Xia. I beg you, don't praise me anymore! I really can't stand it, every time you finish praising me, while covering for my lies, I get hit with tons of backlash!"
I'm pretending, you're actually that awesome, who could withstand such a play?
Liang Yong was naturally collapsing, pleading with Xia Liang.
"Let me tell the truth! I really can't hold it any longer. Let me confess."
Xia Liang blinked.
"Do you really want to confess?"
"Yes!"
Liang Yong, with an expression of no turning back, confessed to Jiu Xuechen.
"I, I admit it! I'm not some rich handsome guy, I don't have Bitcoins, nor a company, nor demolition houses my family doesn't own; all of that was just nonsense to tell my family I'm doing well!"
"What?"
Fourth Aunt was shocked, incredulous.
"Son, you don't own any Bitcoins? You have no company in the Imperial Capital either?"
"Yes!"
"What about your Porsche?"
"I rented it for 5000 RMB a day!"
"Emmm!"
Fourth Aunt rolled her eyes, wobbled, and fainted straight onto the sofa.
"Mom!"
"Sis!"
"Fourth Aunt!"
Xia Liang and the others rushed to assist; Xia Liang's mom held her up, Xia Liang's dad pinched her philtrum, and Xia Liang splashed cold water on her face.
After a series of efforts, Fourth Aunt was finally brought around.
Fourth Aunt groggily came to, face turning purplish, furiously pointing at her cousin.
"You, so everything you said was false? What about this girlfriend?"
She pointed at Jiu Xuechen.
Her cousin forced a smile, looking down.
"This~~"
He hadn't finished speaking when Jiu Xuechen stood up decisively.
"Let me be frank with everyone, I'm not Liang Yong's girlfriend at all; we're not even familiar. I was just a fake girlfriend rented for 1600 RMB a day, Liang Yong, I can't deceive your family any longer. I'm out!"
She pulled out a wad of RMB from her bag and handed it to Liang Yong.
"Here's your money back."
Liang Yong looked teary-eyed, so pitiful.
Then Jiu Xuechen, with her charming eyes, looked mischievously at Xia Liang.
The next moment, Jiu Xuechen suddenly hugged Xia Liang's arm and enthusiastically attached herself, speaking affectionately.
"Thank you, Liang Yong! Although we aren't suitable, I think your family is wonderful, especially Xia Liang, I'd like to be your sister-in-law..."
Oh dear...
With someone who seems a bit out of touch like this, Xia Liang wasn't too interested and took two steps back.
Jiu Xuechen remained undeterred, knowing that if she didn't make a move, she'd lose this golden opportunity.
She walked forward again.
"Xia Liang, don't worry yourself, I'm truly not your brother's girlfriend. I really like you, I've set my eyes on you, please say yes~~"
Xia Liang gave a sideways glance at his cousin.
"Liang Yong! Quickly sort this woman out. Send her wherever she needs to go, manage your woman."
Liang Yong showed an expressionless face, looking at Xia Liang, who showed disdain, and the persistently pursuing 'goddess' Jiu Xuechen, his face was already numb.
Why... why is it that what I long for is dismissed by others.
At this moment...
A BGM suddenly echoed in his heart~
Snowflakes flutter~
Chilly north winds blow~
A vast expanse of desolation~
No... no!
And Fourth Aunt was so upset she fainted again.
