Chapter 9: Are You Qualified?

"No, no more, you go to sleep quickly, I'll sleep on the side." Chen Yu hurriedly helped her lie down, then turned off the lights and slept on the companion bed.

In the darkness, Ye Xinyu smiled faintly and closed her eyes with a look of happiness.

After staying in the hospital for two days, Ye Xinyu insisted on being discharged, feeling that if she kept staying like this, she would owe people favors.

Chen Yu could not win against her, and since her body was much better after two days of recuperation, they were discharged.

"Husband, where are we going? This isn't the direction to go home," Ye Xinyu asked in surprise in the taxi.

"We're changing to a new place to live. The old place was too small, and the environment wasn't good either; I was afraid it would affect the baby," Chen Yu replied.

Indeed, the house they previously rented from Liu Hong was a dilapidated small building from the seventies, damp and dark, with many laborers in the surrounding area and too much personnel turnover. Since Lin Wenfu had gifted a house, they might as well move here.

Biyue Lake Villa District was one of the top ten wealthy districts in Fengling, half-bordering Biyue Lake, surrounded by water on three sides, and located right by the commercial and administrative center; it was the place with the most complete and best facilities in the new district.

Although Fengling did not compare to the country's few major first-tier cities, its economic strength followed closely behind, and the prices of villas in the central area were not to be taken lightly.

When Ye Xinyu got out of the car and saw the detached villa before her, she was completely stunned: three floors above ground, over six hundred square meters of usable area, front and back yards, a private swimming pool plus a garden, and twenty-four-hour butler service—this was the living standard of the wealthy.

"Husband, why are we here?" Ye Xinyu asked urgently.

"It's our home. We'll live here from now on," Chen Yu smiled.

"Stop joking with me, okay? This is Fengling's most high-end wealthy district; we can't even afford the property management fees," Ye Xinyu said anxiously.

"I'm serious, this is our home," Chen Yu said with a straight face.

"Tell me quickly what is going on." Ye Xinyu was somewhat bewildered. Just a few days ago, she was still borrowing money everywhere to pay off Chen Yu's gambling debts, and the two of them were squeezed into a dilapidated rental room of just over twenty square meters. How, in the blink of an eye, did they end up living in a high-end villa district?

"I helped someone out with a favor. They knew the place I was living in wasn't very good, and they happened to have a vacant villa, so they let me stay here first." Chen Yu was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it all at once, so he didn't tell the truth.

"How can we live in someone else's house?" Ye Xinyu pulled Chen Yu to leave. "Chen Yu, it doesn't matter if we're poor, but we can't keep owing people favors."

"Wife, I'm not staying for free; they still have things they need my help with." Chen Yu held her back and smiled. "I said before that I would give you happiness in the future; that statement was absolutely not just for show."

"Husband..." Hearing this, Xinyu felt a lump in her throat and nearly shed tears.

"Let's go, let's go home," Chen Yu smiled.

Ye Xinyu nodded, and together with Chen Yu, she turned and walked toward the villa.

But just at this moment, a surprised voice came: "Ye Xinyu, why are you here?"

The two turned their heads to look and saw a tall woman wearing a property management uniform standing behind them.

This was Ye Xinyu's former colleague, Li Qin, who had resigned not long ago.

"Li Qin, it's you," Ye Xinyu said with delight. "Why are you here?"

"I felt that sales didn't have much of a future, so I applied for the property management at Biyue Lake a while ago. Because my qualifications are good, I was assigned here to work as a butler. Everyone I serve is a powerful and influential big shot."

"What are you two doing here?" Li Qin immediately put on an arrogant air, as if she were superior to them.

"We live here," Ye Xinyu held Li Qin's hand and smiled. "Li Qin, we'll be able to see each other often from now on."

"You live here? You didn't get a divorce and find some rich boss to marry, did you?" Li Qin immediately revealed a look of disdain. "It's not that I'm lecturing you, but you should have wised up long ago and found a rich man to marry. You're so pretty, what's the point of following that gambler Chen Yu?"

"Cough, cough..." Chen Yu behind her coughed unnaturally twice. "Xinyu, let's go home."

"Chen Yu, you're here too? You two didn't divorce?" Li Qin was stunned.

"What are you saying, Li Qin? How could we possibly divorce?" Ye Xinyu said. "This house is my husband's friend's..."

"Haha, Ye Xinyu, you aren't going to say this house belongs to Chen Yu, are you?" Li Qin interrupted before she could finish, saying with a mocking face, "It's not that I'm lecturing you, but even if he worked properly for a hundred years, he couldn't afford a single swimming pool here."

"This house is mine, so what?" Chen Yu frowned with some displeasure.

"Haha, that's truly hilarious. Chen Yu, can't you pick something people can actually accept when you're bragging?" Li Qin laughed loudly. "Do you know how much this house is worth?"

"I don't know, how much?" Chen Yu asked.

"This is the administrative and commercial center of the Fengling planned new district. The housing price is fifty thousand per square meter. The smallest unit here costs at least twenty million. And you say you have a house here?" Li Qin sneered.

"It's that expensive? I really didn't know," Chen Yu smiled.

"Chen Yu, it's not that I look down on you, but you couldn't afford to live here even if the house were given to you for free. Your wife's meager salary isn't even enough to pay the property management fees. Do you know what kind of people live here?"

"I don't know that either. This is my first time here. What kind of people live here?" Chen Yu said.

"The people who live here are all big bosses with a net worth of at least one hundred million. Even the cheapest car here starts at two million. Chen Yu, I know you want to lie to your wife to make her happy, but I advise you to leave quickly. This really isn't a place for you to be blowing hot air." Li Qin put on an air of looking out for his best interests.

"Li Qin, Chen Yu is no longer the Chen Yu he used to be. Please don't look at him with your old perspective," Ye Xinyu said angrily.

"Ye Xinyu, you're the only fool who would still hold out hope for him. I really can't understand it; you have such good conditions, yet you work yourself to the bone every day to support him, and then you still get beaten and scolded by him every day? You really have a cheap backbone," Li Qin said with disdain.

"Li Qin, try saying that again," Chen Yu's face immediately darkened.

Criticizing him was fine, but insulting his wife was not.

"What, am I wrong? You still want to make a move? Do you believe that I can have you both thrown out with a single phone call? This is a wealthy district, not a place for people like you to just wander into," Li Qin said with an arrogant air.

"Heh, you're just someone who serves others, yet you've developed a sense of superiority from it?" Chen Yu sneered.

"This is called service; a bumpkin like you will never understand," Li Qin said, full of superiority.

"You probably served your way into someone else's bed, didn't you?" Chen Yu glanced at her and said, "Sneaking into a wealthy district to flaunt your charms and hook a rich man to marry you? Li Qin, it's not that I look down on you, but with your level, you aren't even qualified to be someone's mistress."
