Chapter 2. Relative
Luocheng City, Central Garden.
Chen Shuo and Wang Huiling stood before the gate of a villa, outside the beige courtyard wall, hung a wooden door plaque "Central Garden No.33, Peace and Joy."
Wang Huiling said mockingly, "When your brother first swapped houses, your sister-in-law would invite us over for barbecues three times a week. It was as if they were the only ones with a villa, as if she didn't have enough chances to show off!"
"Now you have a villa too, don't you?" Chen Shuo boasted. "Could you have moved into a villa if your man wasn't smart?"
Wang Huiling happily linked her arm through Chen Shuo's, "Look at how cocky you are!"
Chen Shuo used his fingerprint to open the door, and upon entering, they were greeted by the grand, high-ceiling living room and crystal chandelier, with genuine leather Italian sofas arranged within.
However, the most eye-catching thing on the coffee table in the living room was the combined black-and-white portraits of Chen Ji's parents, with fresh fruit laid out before them.
Wang Huiling cursed under her breath, "Why would they put the memorial portraits in the living room? Does Chen Ji have no manners, isn't it creepy? Even if he isn't bothered by it, won't it unsettle any guests who see it?"
With a loud clang, Chen Shuo carelessly threw the portrait into the trash can.
Originally, when he wanted to partner up for a big business, he had asked his big brother for four million, but his brother insisted he wasn't cut out for big business and only gave him two hundred thousand to start a small grocery store, treating him like a beggar.
Wang Huiling, sitting on the leather sofa, felt around the place with delight. Looking at the hundred-inch LCD TV across the room, she said in glee, "How nice would it be to watch dramas here? They really used to live like immortals."
