The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 159 Neighbor
The moving company Chen Xiao hired couldn't even drive their trucks in; they were stopped right at the entrance.
Chen Xiao got out of the car, ready to explain things to the security guard.
Just then, a familiar figure passed by him.
"Chen Xiao?"
A tentative voice called out, and Chen Xiao knew who it was without looking.
Sure enough, when he turned around, it was Sun Li.
It had been a while since they had seen each other. He hadn't expected to run into her here.
Time had passed, and seeing her again today, Chen Xiao felt like a lifetime had gone by.
He couldn't even muster any hatred for Sun Li anymore.
Of course, he couldn't say he felt any affection either.
When Sun Li saw that it really was Chen Xiao, her face filled with surprise. "It really is you!"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing here?"
Sun Li scoffed and said smugly, "Of course, it's because I live here. I don't mind telling you, ever since I broke up with you, I've really taken off. I can live in Shan Hai Yi Pin whenever I want. How about that? Envious?"
Chen Xiao was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that after Long Yaoyang died, Sun Li would latch onto another rich person.
But Chen Xiao didn't care about Sun Li's affairs anymore.
He just smiled and said calmly, "Congratulations."
Chen Xiao's reaction was too bland, and Sun Li didn't get any satisfaction from showing off.
She snorted and asked arrogantly, "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm moving here too. We'll be neighbors from now on."
Chen Xiao told the truth, without any intention of showing off.
But Sun Li seemed to have been stepped on her tail and instantly blew up.
"Moving here? You? Chen Xiao, are you kidding me?"
Chen Xiao shrugged and said impatiently, "Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth. I have things to do. I don't have time to waste with you."
But Sun Li wouldn't let it go. "Chen Xiao, how come you've become more and more of a braggart since we broke up?"
"Do you know how much the houses here cost? The cheapest ones start at ten million. Even though you're a real doctor now, with your salary, even if you didn't eat or drink, you wouldn't be able to afford a house here in your entire life!"
Just then, the head of security noticed the situation and came over, asking the guard at the gate, "What's going on?"
The guard said, "This is a moving company truck. They want to come in, but according to the rules, these kinds of trucks aren't allowed in the complex!"
The guard was doing his job by stopping Chen Xiao's truck, and the head of security nodded in satisfaction. But when he saw Chen Xiao next to the truck, he immediately snapped to attention and ran over.
He recognized Chen Xiao. He was a VIP of the big boss Lin Jie, a master with great powers, and also the owner of Villa Number One.
He couldn't afford to neglect such an important person.
He ran up to Chen Xiao, snapped to attention, saluted, and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Xiao also remembered the head of security and smiled. "Oh, it's you. I'm moving in today, but your security guard stopped me. What should I do? Can you help me out?"
The head of security was flattered that Chen Xiao remembered him and said, "Mr. Chen, if other people's cars can't come in, doesn't mean yours can't, please come in, I will escort you, and guarantee you smooth passage!"
"Thank you then!"
Chen Xiao nodded to the head of security and got back in the car.
The guard at the gate saw the car driving in and became anxious. "Captain, aren't they not allowed in? How did they get in?"
The head of security slapped him on the back of the head. "Nonsense, whether they're allowed in depends on the person. Did you even see who's in the car?"
The guard was new and asked blankly, "Who is it?"
The head of security was speechless. "Forget it, you wouldn't know even if I told you. Anyway, be polite to Mr. Chen from now on. I don't have time to waste with you. I have to escort Mr. Chen!"
As he spoke, the head of security rode his little electric scooter to lead the way.
Sun Li in the back was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't expected Chen Xiao to really live here.
She followed them in a daze. She wanted to see where Chen Xiao lived.
Cars couldn't drive fast inside the complex, so even though Sun Li was walking, she wasn't left behind.
As she followed, she saw the car driving deeper and deeper, and the expression on her face grew worse and worse.
She knew that the closer the houses were to the center of Shan Hai Yi Pin, the more expensive they were. It was said that Villa Number One in the very center cost hundreds of millions.
Her house was just a villa on the outer edge... and it wasn't even in her name on the property certificate. She was just living there temporarily.
As the car drove deeper, the expression on her face became more and more surprised. "Chen Xiao's house isn't Villa Number One in the very center, is it?"
But she quickly dismissed the thought.
She had heard that Lin Jie was keeping Villa Number One for herself and would never sell it.
If it were really put up for sale, it could sell for hundreds of millions!
However, when the moving truck stopped in front of Villa Number One, Sun Li's head suddenly buzzed.
This kid Chen Xiao really moved into Villa Number One?
She was about to go over to confirm when the head of security suddenly shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? I'm talking to you, sneaking around!"
Sun Li was startled by the shout. After realizing what had happened, she said unhappily, "What are you yelling at me for? I'm a resident here too!"
The head of security quickly put on a smile and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but the front is private property. You can't go any further."
Sun Li stamped her foot in anger, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only leave dejectedly.
Chen Xiao saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
How true it was that yesterday you ignored me, today I am out of your reach!
Liu Zhen also noticed this scene and said softly, "Chen Xiao, you're not allowed to have anything to do with this Sun Li in the future. Her character is no good."
"Don't worry, Mom. She's just a passerby in my eyes... a very annoying passerby."
On the other side, Sun Li returned to her house dejectedly.
She plopped down on the leather sofa. This house was over four hundred square meters, including the upstairs and downstairs, which was already extremely luxurious for someone like her.
But when she thought about Chen Xiao living in Villa Number One, this big house instantly lost its appeal.
She thought about it and said to herself that this wouldn't do. She had to get a bigger house. She couldn't be outdone by anyone, especially not Chen Xiao!
