Chapter 2: I Have a Thousand Apartments

My parents died the day before yesterday; when they passed, less than half an hour elapsed between them...

After saying that, Lin Feng sighed, his face full of sorrow.

This is no act.

If it weren't that his just-deceased parents were both over seventy, he would even suspect that he himself has the fate of a heavenly lonely star.

Upon hearing that Lin Feng's parents had passed away, Liu Na's eyes lit up.

But soon, she put on a look of pretended grief and sympathy, saying, "Lin Feng, please accept my condolences!"

The reason she agreed to be friends with Lin Feng is that she had even brought up marriage a few days ago.

It is precisely because Lin Feng's parents owned a six-story building in the suburbs.

Although it is an old building from the 1990s, the annual rent can still bring in several hundred thousand.

It will be demolished in a few years!

At that time, the demolition compensation will be at least tens of millions.

If she could marry Lin Feng, in a few years she would become a petite wealthy woman.

Moreover, Lin Feng's weak and bullyable personality is really easy to manipulate.

After marriage, she would be the head of the household, with the red flag never falling at home and colorful flags fluttering outside.

Such a life would be delightful beyond words.

"Lin Feng, let's get married!"

As soon as she said that, she looked at Lin Feng with an expectant expression.

"But your mother put forward conditions..."

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, wearing a troubled look.

Lin Feng furrowed his brows, a look of difficulty on his face.

"Thump thump!"

The door was knocked.

Liu Na immediately got up and opened the door.

Entering was a middle-aged woman with permed curls and a well-maintained figure.

She was Liu Na's mother, He Guifang.

Just moments ago, He Guifang had received a call from her daughter Liu Na.

When she heard Liu Na say that she had been caught red-handed by Lin Feng while fooling around in a car with the manager.

After hanging up, she immediately rushed over.

On the way she was worried sick, constantly blaming Liu Na in her heart.

This dead girl is really too careless!

The demolition compensation hasn't even been received yet—how could Lin Feng catch her?

Couldn't they have stayed farther away while fooling around? Why did they have to be right below Lin Feng's building?

They were just seeking excitement!

One has to say, today's youth really know how to have fun.

He Guifang thought Lin Feng and Liu Na were arguing.

Unexpectedly, her daughter's face was actually wearing a smile.

What's going on?

"Mom, I was just talking about marriage with Lin Feng a moment ago!"

Liu Na said with a smile.

That short sentence alone informed He Guifang of the current situation.

"Catching his girlfriend cheating, and yet he wants to marry her?"

A man going this far is also quite eccentric.

He Guifang couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance at Lin Feng.

"You want to get married!"

He Guifang arrogantly sat down on the sofa.

"Mom, I'm currently discussing this with Lin Feng!"

Liu Na sat down beside He Guifang and said with a smile.

He Guifang said in an arrogant tone: "As before, the conditions are a betrothal gift of one million, and before that building is demolished, the property deed must have Nana's name written on it."

"Moreover, if housing is allocated from the demolition, besides the one million betrothal gift, a unit must also be given to Liu Qi."

"As long as you agree to these conditions, you can go to the civil affairs bureau tomorrow to complete the procedures."

The Liu Qi that He Guifang spoke of is Liu Na's younger brother, an idle good-for-nothing.

Lin Feng shook his head: "That building has already been given by my parents to their nanny, Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang has taken care of them wholeheartedly for over ten years; this is what she deserves."

"Impossible, Lin Feng! Aren't you their biological son!?"

Upon hearing that, He Guifang angrily stood up.

She felt as if her own belongings had been snatched away.

Lin Feng laughed and said: "Actually, to my parents, that building is merely a drop in the bucket of their assets."

As he spoke, Lin Feng took a stack of inheritance legal documents from under the coffee table and placed them on the table.

"I only found out after my parents passed away that they had been pretending all along, better than anyone at pretending."

"They clearly own over a thousand luxury apartments, with assets worth several billion, yet they have always pretended to be small-time landlords."

He clearly is a wealthy tycoon who owns more than a thousand luxury apartments and has assets worth several billion, yet he always pretends to be just a small landlord.

Now I finally understand, they wanted to raise me, their son, in poverty, not wanting me to turn bad.

Over a thousand apartments, yearly rent over a hundred million, plus they left me several billion in savings—I don't even know how to spend it.

From a poor kid, I suddenly became a multi‑billionaire, and I'm still not used to it.

Spending a million a day, I couldn't exhaust it in a lifetime.

He Guifang and Liu Na listened to Lin Feng's narration while flipping through the documents.

Their breathing grew gradually rapid, excitement flushing both cheeks red.

Get married! You must get married!

Suddenly, He Guifang burst out shouting in excitement.

Liu Na also looked at Lin Feng with an excited expression.

Seeing the flush on her face, one could guess she was even more excited than when driving.

Lin Feng, however, gave a slight smile, looking at Liu Na and said: "But why should I marry you? With my current wealth, what woman could I not obtain?"

What do you mean?

He Guifang was dumbfounded.

Liu Na first froze, then exclaimed with a shocked face: "Lin Feng, you, you want to break up with me!?"

Lin Feng sneered: "Just now I was merely playing with you! Do you really think I don't care about your cheating?"

Actually, even without this, with your character, do you deserve me? Look in the mirror—what a mess you are without makeup.

Besides, I'm only 24—I could still enjoy several more years of wonderful single life! Why get married?

Having said that, Lin Feng snatched the documents from their hands.

Then he made a gesture of dismissal and said: "You can get lost!"

No!

A shrill voice issued from Liu Na's mouth.

She came before Lin Feng, dropped to her knees, clung to his legs and pleaded: "Lin Feng, I was wrong! Will you forgive me? If we don't marry, I'll be your woman—you can have me do anything, just don't abandon me."

Lin Feng looked at Liu Na with utter disdain.

Seeing Lin Feng unmoved, Liu Na added: "I still have many good‑looking girlfriends; I'll introduce them all to you, we could…"

Lin Feng!

Suddenly, He Guifang also dropped to her knees before Lin Feng, weeping: "Please don't abandon my daughter!"

Lin Feng gave He Guifang and Liu Na a cold, sneering look.

The two's ugly nature was fully revealed before Lin Feng.

Under normal circumstances, such a thing would not happen.

But He Guifang and Liu Na had been tormented by Lin Feng to the point of losing their reason.

It's like someone buying a lottery ticket, winning hundreds of millions, and just about to become rich and achieve financial freedom.

When they were about to claim the prize, they discovered they'd lost the ticket and couldn't redeem it.

Faced with such a situation, most people would break down.

Whoosh~

Lin Feng let out a long breath.

This counts as avenging that earlier Lin Feng, right!

That previous Lin Feng, upon seeing Liu Na disheveled as she got out of someone else's car,

in a fit of anger drank three bottles of cheap strong liquor and died drunk outright.

In the moment of lucidity before death, he still wondered whether it was his fault that his girlfriend cheated.

After exhaling that foul breath, Lin Feng felt both his body and spirit lighten a bit.
