Qin Xuan was in the living room, feeding Qin Lin the medicinal soup he had prepared.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Qin Lin quickly went to open it.
Two figures barged in without a word.
"Wow, this villa is so big! It's several times bigger than the old lady's villa! And so luxurious!" Zou Lifen greedily surveyed everything in the villa.
The visitors were Zou Lifen and Dan Hongguang.
Zou Lifen and her husband were utterly surprised that what that brat Dan Feng had said was actually true.
Qin Xuan was indeed living in such a large villa.
Looking at the villa, a trace of greed appeared in Zou Lifen's eyes.
Furthermore, the old lady had given them a strict order to find a way to get their hands on this villa, or else they would have to compensate the Dan family for their losses.
If they could get this villa and sell it, the Dan family's companies could at least advance several levels. Not only would they avoid compensation, but they would also get a few million. Therefore, Zou Lifen and Dan Hongguang shamelessly came.
"Auntie, Uncle."
Although these two usually treated Qin Lin poorly, Qin Lin still politely addressed them.
Zou Lifen also changed her usual overbearing attitude and smiled at Qin Lin,
"Linlin, didn't you have a car accident? Have you recovered so quickly?"
Qin Lin nodded slightly,
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I've almost fully recovered."
Qin Xuan walked over at this moment, pulling Qin Lin behind him. He looked at the two of them, his brow furrowed,
"What are you two doing here?"
Qin Xuan was a little puzzled as to how these two found out where he lived. Could it be Tantai?
But after thinking about it, he shook his head. That was impossible. Tantai wanted him to return the villa, calling it ill-gotten gains, let alone tell her mother.
Zou Lifen was not polite at all. She grabbed Qin Xuan's hand and started showering him with praise,
"Son-in-law, I knew it. You're definitely not an ordinary person. You wanted to test Yue'er for these three years, right? How could a young man as distinguished as you be someone who collects scrap metal?"
"Speaking of which, Mom has to criticize you properly. You live in such a big villa all by yourself, and you didn't invite us to come over. You made us live in that rundown neighborhood for several years, with a terrible environment. It wasn't easy for us to raise a daughter. Now that we're getting old, we don't even have a place to retire. Son-in-law, doesn't this break your heart?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan understood Zou Lifen's intentions and sneered in his heart.
So, this "mother-in-law" came for his villa.
Over the years, Qin Xuan knew what kind of person his mother-in-law was.
She was most likely eyeing the villa.
Although Qin Xuan didn't care much about such things now, even if he didn't want the villa and returned it to Wang Youhai, he wouldn't give it to the Dan family. Moreover, this was left for Tantai and Qin Lin. Qin Xuan's ambitions now extended far beyond Jiangbei City.
Now that he had the Dragon Pill, Qin Xuan would return to the capital to avenge his clan's annihilation one day.
"I'm just staying here temporarily. This villa belongs to a friend of mine." Qin Xuan casually came up with an excuse, not wanting the two of them to know the villa was his.
Zou Lifen naturally didn't believe him. Dan Feng had said that the villa was registered under Qin Xuan's name.
Moreover, Zou Lifen had to get this villa this time, or else she would have to compensate the Dan family for tens of millions of losses.
"Son-in-law, Mom knows everything. You don't need to hide it anymore." Zou Lifen held Qin Xuan's arm, acting as close as possible.
"I know, I was not good before, but there were reasons. I only have one daughter, and Mom just wanted to test if you were truly good to Yue'er. So Mom wanted to test you more. Now that you've passed the test, however, it's traditional in our Dragon Country for the groom to give betrothal gifts when marrying a daughter. You understand that, right?" Speaking of which, Zou Lifen casually picked up a teacup from the coffee table and said with a smile,
"To put it in the old saying of our Dragon Country, when getting married, the man must have a house and a car. But Mom isn't concerned about those things; as long as there's a house, that's enough. This villa of yours should be fine."
If one could be shameless, Qin Xuan now understood.
Before, she had looked down on him, but now, after hearing from somewhere that he owned a villa, her attitude towards him had changed 180 degrees.
Qin Xuan wasn't stupid either. If it weren't for the villa, his mother-in-law probably wouldn't even spare him a glance.
"You're thinking too much. This villa isn't mine at all, and I can't make the decision." Qin Xuan directly refused.
How could Zou Lifen believe this? If it wasn't his, why was he living here with his sister? Was he trying to fool ghosts?
"Son-in-law, stop lying to Mom. Mom knows you're holding a grudge and are upset with me. Don't worry, Mom won't stop you and Yue'er anymore. You're so young and promising, and you can even afford such a large villa. Mom believes you'll treat Yue'er well."
Dan Hongguang, who had been silent for years, also spoke up to support his wife at this moment.
"Exactly, if you can afford such a large villa, you certainly wouldn't be short of money. This villa can be our retirement home in the future."
"No, that I..."
As Qin Xuan was about to explain, Tantai Yue, who had just finished showering, came downstairs wrapped in a towel. She was a little surprised to see Zou Lifen and Dan Hongguang.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Seeing Tantai Yue's attire, Zou Lifen showed a smile and felt even more confident.
"Daughter, you haven't been home for two days. Mom specifically came to see how you and our son-in-law are doing."
Hearing this, Tantai Yue's brow furrowed slightly, as if the person speaking was not her mother.
"They say when daughters grow up, they don't care about their parents. You and our son-in-law spend your days in the villa, living a life of passion and intimacy, and you've forgotten about Mom and Dad. We're still living in that rundown neighborhood."
"Mom, it's not what you think..."
Before Tantai Yue could finish, Zou Lifen waved her hand and interrupted her, sighing slightly,
"No need to explain, I understand. I just told our son-in-law that this villa will be his betrothal gift when he marries you. From now on, you two can go wherever you want. Mom won't control you anymore. Sigh."
With these words, Zou Lifen directly claimed Qin Xuan's villa as her own.
This meant she wanted Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue to move out, and she would live here from now on.
Tantai Yue was also surprised by her mother's shamelessness and quickly explained,
"Mom, this villa really doesn't belong to Qin Xuan."
Zou Lifen was determined to get the villa. Knowing that Tantai Yue was defending Qin Xuan, her expression changed slightly.
"Yue'er, are you now siding with outsiders? Isn't it right for a father to ask for a betrothal gift when marrying off his daughter?"
Tantai Yue was also worried about her mother causing trouble for Qin Xuan, so she said,
"This villa was given to Qin Xuan by someone he cured as a thank you. It's very likely that they might take it back at any time..."
Tantai Yue told Zou Lifen that Qin Xuan had accidentally cured Old Master Wang, and as a thank you, the person had given him the villa. If the person looked for Qin Xuan later, and Qin Xuan couldn't do anything, they would likely take the villa back.
Upon hearing Tantai Yue's words, Zou Lifen's face instantly darkened, and her tone changed back,
"I knew it! With Qin Xuan's rubbish behavior, collecting scrap for three years, how could he afford to live in a villa? So it was obtained through deception. Hmph."
