The sight of their shameless and arrogant faces made Qin Yi's eyes turn cold.
He desperately wanted to slap them both then and there, to teach them a harsh lesson.
Even though they were on a busy street with people coming and going.
Liu E and Huang Shanshan felt a tremor of fear involuntarily rise within them as they sensed his gaze.
However, the two felt that on the street, Qin Yi wouldn't dare to lay a hand on them, so they both adopted an air of unconcern.
Qin Yi could no longer hold back. His right palm straightened, and he made a move as if to slap Huang Shanshan...
Just at that instant, a soft hand grabbed him. Han Xin shook her head and said, "It's not worth it! Hitting people like them would dirty your hands!"
"Leave it to me, I have a way to deal with them!"
Qin Yi relaxed his straightened palm and nodded.
Then, Han Xin looked directly at Liu E and Huang Shanshan and said, "I'll give you one day. Before noon tomorrow, if you return the money, nothing will happen. If you don't..."
"What if we don't return it?" Huang Shanshan interjected.
A curve formed on Han Xin's lips, and her entire demeanor exuded a powerful aura. She spoke, "If you don't, you'll find it impossible to move in Haicheng from now on! Your mother will also be arrested for damaging others' property!"
"That's ridiculous! Don't you fear tongue-tied talking such nonsense?" Huang Shanshan scoffed, "Who do you think you are?"
Han Xin had no intention of arguing with them. She said to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, let's go!"
She pulled Qin Yi's hand and they walked back towards the Fuguijiaren residential area.
Qin Yi turned passively and followed.
"What a joke!"
"Think you own Haicheng just because you have a bit of money? Telling me I can't move around Haicheng, pfft!"
Watching their retreating backs, Liu E and Huang Shanshan still felt they had won, standing there and spewing curses.
Only after Qin Yi and Han Xin entered the residential area did they get into their car and leave.
...
When Qin Yi and Han Xin returned home, Zheng Shufen had mostly recovered from her shock.
She immediately asked Han Xin, "Xiao Xin, what does your family do?"
This was the third time Zheng Shufen had met Han Xin. She had never inquired about Han Xin's family background before, not wanting to startle her, and she hadn't even asked Qin Yi.
But today's events had truly shocked her. What kind of family could afford to give gifts worth hundreds of thousands or even a million?
Han Xin glanced at Qin Yi, then sat down beside Zheng Shufen and naturally took her hand, saying, "Auntie, we are in business!"
Han Xin still didn't reveal that she was Han Sanwan's daughter.
Mainly, she was afraid of startling Zheng Shufen, and also, if she said she was the daughter of Haicheng's richest man, what if Zheng Shufen misunderstood and thought she was deliberately showing off!
Han Xin secretly decided that once her relationship with Qin Yi was truly confirmed, and after she had spent more time with Zheng Shufen and they were more familiar with each other, it might be better to tell her then?
Qin Yi listened from the side, smiling slightly, and said nothing.
"In business?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shufen instinctively said, "Xiao Xin, I didn't expect your family background to be so good. With your upbringing, you can still be with Xiao Yi..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood the implied meaning.
Instantly, Qin Yi pretended to be displeased and said, "Mom, are you still my real mom?"
"Hehe..."
Han Xin covered her mouth and laughed. Then, she moved closer to Qin Yi and naturally linked her arms with his.
Half of her body leaned against his arm.
Qin Yi felt a softness on his arm and his body froze.
Han Xin, however, didn't seem to notice anything unusual. She said to Zheng Shufen, "Auntie, Qin Yi is quite outstanding too! And he's handsome, and treats me well..."
Seeing their intimate display, Zheng Shufen was so happy her mouth couldn't close.
If, just now, after learning that Han Xin's family was in business and well-off, she had a sliver of worry that Han Xin might look down on Qin Yi, or that she might leave Qin Yi later, then this worry had now vanished.
She happily said, "It's good that he treats you well. Xiao Xin, if Xiao Yi ever treats you badly or dares to bully you, tell me, and I'll deal with him for you!"
"Thank you, Auntie!" Han Xin replied gratefully.
Later, Han Xin and Zheng Shufen chatted for a long time. Qin Yi sat on the side, unable to get a word in.
Their relationship grew even closer, like that of a real mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Watching this scene, Qin Yi felt a bit strange.
He had initially just asked Han Xin to pretend to be his girlfriend. Now, it seemed like she was becoming more and more like his real girlfriend!
Han Xin stayed with Zheng Shufen for about two hours before getting up to leave.
Zheng Shufen initially wanted to ask her to stay for dinner, but Han Xin said she had some matters to attend to at home, so Zheng Shufen didn't insist.
Han Xin left the residential area and drove her Porsche home.
Unbeknownst to Han Xin, as soon as she started her Porsche, a black sedan immediately followed behind her.
And the people in the black sedan were none other than Zheng Dapeng and Zhang Guihua.
Zheng Dapeng had always wanted to poach Qin Yi and pursue Han Xin. However, since they didn't have Han Xin's contact information, they had been keeping an eye on Qin Yi's home during this period.
When Han Xin arrived this afternoon, they immediately knew.
As Han Xin left, they drove to follow her, wanting to find an opportunity to talk to Han Xin again, and at the same time, to find out where she was going and probe her background.
Half an hour later, Zheng Dapeng was driving, following Han Xin to the outskirts of the Binjiang Villa area.
Seeing Han Xin's car continuing to drive in, Zhang Guihua exclaimed, "Binjiang Villa area! Han Xin lives here???"
"A villa here costs fifty to sixty million, right?" Zheng Dapeng said, full of shock.
"Nonsense, this Binjiang Villa area is our Haicheng's most top-tier villa district. One villa costs at least seventy to eighty million, and the better ones can even be hundreds of millions, possibly billions!" Zhang Guihua said.
She enjoyed playing mahjong, and during casual gossip with her mahjong friends, she had often discussed the Binjiang Villa area.
Therefore, Zhang Guihua knew the Binjiang Villa area very well.
"Bi-billions..."
Hearing this, Zheng Dapeng swallowed, his jaw almost dropping in shock.
Then, he saw the Porsche about to drive into the villa area, and Zheng Dapeng shouted, "It's going in, it's going in! Mom, Han Xin's family really lives inside..."
"Quick, rush up and stop her! If she goes in, we won't be able to get in later!" Zhang Guihua urged.
As Haicheng's most top-tier villa complex, the security at the Binjiang Villa area was naturally very strict.
Zheng Dapeng and his mother were not residents, so they couldn't get in.
