Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Even if you have money, you can’t spend it like this. You have to save it in the future.”

Tang Li, who had been controlled all her life, could not accept spending money like this.

“Don’t worry, Mom. Spending more than 2000 yuan to go to the supermarket might be extravagant for you, but for us, it’s very normal.”

“Alright then. You’re all adults now and have your own way of life. I won’t say anything else.”

“Yes, yes.”

Zhou Xinyu nodded and said to Yan Ci,

“Cousin, let’s go back. We bought imported beef. The quality is very good. I’ll let you taste it later.”

Lin Yi was speechless.

Yan Ci nodded speechlessly. It was obvious that she did not want to waste any more time with Zhou Xinyu.

“Let’s go. We’re done shopping. Let’s go home now.”

“Cousin, you drive in front. We’ll follow behind.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yi casually responded and got into his car, heading toward Jiuzhou Pavilion.

After about forty minutes of driving, Zhou Xinyu, sitting in the GL8, looked around.

“Where does he live? It seems like we’re almost out of the city.”

“Judging by the surroundings, he probably lives in the suburbs,” Chen Teng said nonchalantly, with a hint of unspoken superiority on his face.

“He’s a police officer and used to work at Huashan Hospital. His finances shouldn’t be bad, so how could he be living in the suburbs? That’s really lowering the bar.”

Zhou Xinyu thought that although Lin Yi’s circumstances weren’t as good as Chen Teng’s, they should still be decent enough for him to manage living in Zhonghai.

But she hadn’t expected that he actually lived in the suburbs!

“Don’t forget, this is Zhonghai. Even suburban houses aren’t cheap,” Chen Teng said.

“Not everyone has the privilege of living in the city center like me. For someone from another province, living in the suburbs of Zhonghai is already quite an achievement.”

“That’s true. After all, this is Huaxia’s wealthiest city, where housing prices are sky-high.”

“So don’t be so surprised. Given his current situation, living in the suburbs is only natural. People are different, and there are always disparities,” Chen Teng said smugly.

After having been overshadowed by Lin Yi twice, Chen Teng finally felt he could regain some face this time.

“Oh my god, Teng, look at those houses ahead—they’re gorgeous!”

Following Zhou Xinyu’s pointing finger, Chen Teng looked ahead and calmly said,

“No wonder you think they’re beautiful—they’re part of Jiuzhou Pavilion, Zhonghai’s most exclusive residential area.”

“Jiuzhou Pavilion? I’ve never heard of it before.”

“That’s because you’ve never dealt with things at this level before,” Chen Teng explained.

“Kyushu Pavilion has only nine villas, with the most expensive one selling for 1.3 billion yuan, and the cheapest going for 800 million. The landscaping inside is all designed in a garden style where it feels like you’re stepping into a botanical garden. It’s incredibly luxurious.”

“Are you serious? Even the cheapest house costs 800 million?!”

Zhou Xinyu was so shocked she couldn’t believe it. She’d never even dreamed of seeing so much money.

“A house selling for that much…Zhonghai really isn’t a place for ordinary people,” Tang Li said.

“Mom, you’re missing the point. This is how the wealthy live,” Zhou Xinyu said enviously.

“Hey, why is your cousin-in-law’s car turning into Jiuzhou Pavilion?”

Chen Teng’s puzzled remark caught Zhou Xinyu’s attention, and she quickly looked up, realizing it was true.

“What’s going on? What’s he doing at Jiuzhou Pavilion?”

“No idea. Maybe he’s here to pick something up.”

“Pick something up? Does that mean he knows someone at Jiuzhou Pavilion?”

In Zhou Xinyu’s mind, even the cheapest house at Jiuzhou Pavilion was worth 800 million yuan, meaning the people living there were all billionaires.

But Lin Yi was just an ordinary person. How could he have any connection with such wealthy individuals?

“You’re mistaken. Don’t forget his identity as a police officer. It’s a very special job.”

“What’s so special about it?”

“Because the wealthy encounter more problems than ordinary people, so they have more interactions with the police.”

Chen Teng explained.

“He might be here to pick up some documents or something.”

“That’s still too much. We’re supposed to be going to his house for dinner, and he’s handling official business instead. How rude.”

“Alright, let’s not overthink it. After all, not everyone can be as meticulous as I am,” Chen Teng said.

“Besides, our main purpose for coming here isn’t just to have dinner, right?”

Zhou Xinyu nodded, a smile on her face.

“You’re right. Let him do whatever he wants. At least we get to see the inside of a luxury residence, so it’s not a wasted trip.”

“Exactly.”

Soon, the two cars arrived at the entrance of Jiuzhou Pavilion. Lin Yi greeted the security guard, the gate opened, and both cars were allowed in.

“Teng, the inside of Jiuzhou Pavilion is stunning! There are even artificial mountains and lakes, and the sea is just nearby. The scenery is incredible.”

“If it didn’t have these features, how could it be called Zhonghai’s top luxury residence? Take a good look now because we’ll be leaving soon.”

“Mm-hmm.”

As they entered the interior of Jiuzhou Pavilion, Zhou Xinyu’s eyes couldn’t take in enough of the sights. She eagerly looked around, hoping to capture all the scenery.

Soon, the two cars arrived at the entrance of Villa No. 1, and Lin Yi and Yan Ci got out.

“Take the stuff out. We’re home,” Yan Ci said to Chen Teng.

“What? Home?”

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned, their faces filled with shock.

“Cousin, what did you say? We’re home?”

“Your cousin-in-law lives here. Come out of the car.”

Not only were Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu shocked, but even Tang Li, who hadn’t paid much attention earlier, found it hard to believe.

Chen Teng had just mentioned that the cheapest house here sold for 800 million yuan. How could her niece’s boyfriend possibly live in a place like this?

Yan Ci called out, opened the car door, helped Tang Li out, and then led her into Villa No. 1.

Meanwhile, Chen Teng and Zhou Xinyu stood there, their minds in a daze, unable to process what was happening.

“Teng, with his salary, he shouldn’t be able to afford living here, right?”

“He definitely can’t afford it,” Chen Teng said.

“But I still don’t understand how he’s living here.”

“Do you think it’s possible that he’s renting the place?”

“Not likely,” Chen Teng shook his head.

“Jiuzhou Pavilion has strict rules. Renting a villa here would cost a fortune, far beyond what he could afford with his salary.”

“Then what’s going on?”

“I’m not sure. Let’s go inside and find out.”
