Chapter 9: Urban Shenhao System (9)

~8 min read 1,499 words

Xie Yang naturally knows that the transfer of the remaining 480 apartments will take time.

The Shenhao System is waiting for her to complete the Side Quest; only once completed will it deliver the property deeds into her hands in a reasonable manner.

The most urgent task is that she must move first.

By now, the residents of the residential quarter likely all know she is the sole owner of Wanhua Residential Quarter, so continuing to live here is neither quiet nor safe.

Furthermore, the living environment here is truly not very good. Since there is a better choice, why continue to wrong herself?

"Xiaofang, is that villa of mine located in Shengshi Taoyuan already furnished?"

"Yes, Ms. Xie. That unit of yours is the 'King of Buildings' in Shengshi Taoyuan. Back then, in order to promote and advertise, the developer specifically had the 1-billion-worth 'King of Buildings' villa meticulously decorated and furnished to serve as the flagship for the entire development's promotional video. Therefore, not only is the renovation top-tier, but furniture and appliances from major brands are also fully equipped; you can absolutely move in with just your bags."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yang looked at Xie Shuling with a smile in her eyes: "Mom, let's move today then."

"……"

Xie Shuling felt as if she were floating on the clouds.

She pinched her own thigh.

It hurt!

This meant she wasn't dreaming.

But where did her daughter get the money to buy so many houses?

One of them was even a "King of Buildings" villa worth 1 billion, excluding renovation costs!

If it were just one apartment in Wanhua Residential Quarter, she might worry about whether her daughter had borrowed usury to buy the house, or if she had foolishly sold her own organs...

But her daughter owns all 510 apartments in Wanhua Residential Quarter plus the "King of Buildings" villa in Shengshi Taoyuan, this...

Xie Shuling felt her brain turn to mush.

She couldn't calculate how much money so many houses would cost; it really wasn't her disparaging herself and her daughter, but the facts were indeed so—

Even if they sold the two of them, they couldn't exchange for that much money.

She was in a daze at this moment, agreeing to whatever her daughter said.

As for the Hot Pot restaurant... sorry! She had forgotten all about going to work.

Not wanting to trouble others for one thing, Xie Yang simply asked Fang Huai to help contact a moving company.

Out of gratitude, she promised to hand over the full authority of leasing the 510 apartments in Wanhua Residential Quarter to Jidi Agency.

When this news was relayed back to the company by Fang Huai, it sparked enthusiastic cheers and applause from all the staff at Jidi.

One must know, previously when Xie Yang owned 30 properties available for rent or sale, Jidi had already listed her as a key major client, with Fang Huai, a gold-medal real estate agent, personally delivering the property deeds.

Now, she is the owner about to possess all 510 properties in Wanhua Residential Quarter!

Just renting out so many properties would be enough to support more than half of Jidi's employees!

If they were for sale, the entire staff would probably be willing to collectively call Xie Yang "Daddy."

"Ms. Xie, I will go contact vehicles to help you move right now. Once I've arranged it, I'll call you; I won't disturb you and your mother while you pack your luggage."

After Fang Huai left, the other non-residents of Wanhua Residential Quarter were too embarrassed to stay any longer—mostly wanting to find someone to gossip about this matter—so they walked downstairs, looking back every few steps, and dispersed.

It was too shocking, wasn't it! So shocking that their jaws almost dislocated and couldn't close.

The "spendthrift daughter" listed as a typical case in the community's anti-fraud propaganda was actually the sole owner of the entire building in Wanhua Residential Quarter!

No! Not just this building; hadn't they heard that the property rights for the other dozen or so buildings were also in the process of being transferred? This was too explosive!

Their dropped eyeballs were almost too many to pick up!

How could Bai Mu and the other residents of Wanhua Residential Quarter be any different?

They had originally come to watch the drama, but didn't expect that while watching, it would land on their own heads... ever since they finished calls with their landlords or children, they hadn't been able to recover for a long time.

Good heavens! How could such a thing happen?

Xie Shuling's daughter actually bought the entire Wanhua Residential Quarter?

Where did she get the money?

"Yang Yang, these houses... are they real? But..."

Xie Shuling similarly couldn't figure out where her daughter got so much money.

"It's real." Xie Yang had long since thought of how to smooth this over, "Actually, it's my dad..."

"Your dad?" Xie Shuling was so shocked she almost jumped off the sofa, "Where did you get a dad?"

Xie Yang laughed: "I'm not Sun Wukong, how could I not have a biological father?"

"But I only found out recently too; he had already passed away from illness. He didn't marry or have children while he was alive, and he had cut ties with other relatives. I am his only biological heir, so he left all his inheritance to me."

This wasn't entirely a lie.

The biological father of this body was a fake young master who had been swapped by a family in the north, and also a loser in the struggles of a wealthy family.

He was kicked out of the wealthy family penniless back then, but the real young master still wouldn't let him go, drugging him with that kind of substance, intending to ruin his reputation.

It was just unexpected that Xie Shuling, who was implicated, not only didn't call the police to pursue accountability afterward, but silently dropped out of school, moved away, and stayed far from that place of right and wrong.

After the fake young master sobered up and learned of the real young master's conspiracy, and seeing that his adoptive family had completely abandoned him while his biological parents only recognized the adopted son and not him, he simply smuggled himself abroad, preparing to build a career before coming back to fiercely slap those people in the face.

Unfortunately, fate was cruel; at the age of thirty-five, he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and died young.

So, the fact that her biological father died of illness was true, but the inheritance part was just a cover.

All Xie Yang needed was such an origin.

If the outside world investigated, at most they would find that the money she used to buy the houses came from a mysterious account at a Swiss Bank.

"!!!"

This news, no less than a deep-sea bomb, was even more shocking to Xie Shuling than her daughter pulling out property deeds for 511 houses in a matter of minutes.

"These things... how did you know?"

"The lawyer he hired while he was alive told me."

As if! It was clearly found by this system.

The Main System rolled its non-existent eyes:

Its Host was so covered in lice she didn't itch, and so deep in debt she didn't worry; she hadn't even earned a single point yet, but she already dared to order it around, and it didn't know if the rewards from this Task world would be enough to pay off what she owed.

Xie Yang wasn't worried at all; if it wasn't enough, she would just keep owing. She was a miserable laborer who had almost Ascended to the Immortal Realm to enjoy a peaceful retirement, only to be inexplicably dragged into these worlds to perform Tasks, and she hadn't even complained—what right did the culprit, the dog-system, have to blame her?

While Xie Shuling was still processing things, Xie Yang was already packing up the things they needed to take for the move, inside and out.

In reality, there wasn't much luggage for the mother and daughter to actually move.

Although some of the furniture and appliances had been added over the years, they had been used for quite a long time and were due to be replaced anyway;

The same went for the clothes and bedding; most were old, so she picked out the new ones and packed them into two suitcases;

Then there were the personal items like identification documents, mobile phones, and chargers.

In the end, they packed two suitcases and three storage bins, which could be handled by the trunk of an ordinary small car.

Xie Yang called Fang Huai and told him there was no need to find a moving company; renting an ordinary business van would suffice.

"A business van? There's no need to rent one; Shengshi Taoyuan Property Management provides this service. I'll have them send a vehicle to pick you up right away."
