Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Picking Soone Up at the Airport, I Shouldn’t Be Considered Poor
“`
i Garden was quite famous in Donghai, but no one had ever been inside. A few of Chu Chen’s relatives walked in cautiously, afraid of damaging anything.
Chu Chen was in the lead, introducing the sights within i Garden to his grandparents.
As they looked at the pavilions, bridges, and streams inside, Grandpa and Grandma occasionally gasped in amazent.
As for Chu Chen’s other relatives, their eyes were wide open in a look of astonishnt.
“Xiao Chen, did you really buy i Garden?”
...
Being an old Donghai resident, Grandpa naturally knew the terrifying price of i Garden; even calling it sky-high was an understatent.
“Yes.”
Chu Chen nodded, “The scenery here is beautiful, if you and Grandma like it, you can stay here for a few days.”
“Cousin, you’re amazing.”
Tang Miaomiao was full of emotion, her eyes filled with admiration for Chu Chen; cousin indeed was formidable.
As for the other relatives of Chu Chen, they were all silent at this mont.
Bought i Garden!
My God!
If this news gets out, it might shake the entire Donghai, it’s too crazy.
Looking at the vast grounds of i Garden, they were extrely shocked; it was said that in the earliest days, this place was a palace.
Did Chu Chen actually buy a palace?
Was this still the Chu Chen they knew?
As for Tang Shizhen and the second aunt, they were even more dumbfounded.
Now, they had no more doubts and didn’t dare to have any.
If Gu Shengkang possibly made a mistake earlier, now being inside i Garden, what could they still doubt?
If he wasn’t the owner here, could Chu Chen have brought them in to tour?
This wasn’t just a residence; it was practically a palace, only those ancient royals and ministers were qualified to live here!
So vast, so stunning!
At this mont, both Tang Shizhen and the second aunt hung their heads in deep sha; they really looked down on people.
“Xiao Chen has made it big, actually becoming the owner of i Garden.”
“I always thought Xiao Chen was extraordinary, didn’t expect him to really skyrocket now.”
“Not only has he beco friends with billionaires, but he also owns such a large estate.”
“Xiao Chen is truly remarkable.”
The relatives spoke, all showing admiration and envy for Chu Chen, among them, especially the second aunt was the most complintary.
Chu Chen didn’t say anything to these praises, just focused on accompanying Grandma and Grandpa.
That day, Grandma and Grandpa stayed there for a night, and of course, cousin Tang Miaomiao insisted on staying as well.
Chu Chen had dozens of rooms here, so there was no fear of running out of space.
The next day, Chu Chen drove to the airport.
Having just sent Grandma and Grandpa ho, Grandma asked him to pick soone up at the airport.
Grandma said the granddaughter of their neighbor Granny Lu was returning today, and since Granny Lu was too old to co, she asked Chu Chen for a favor.
Chu Chen agreed.
Chu Chen waited for a long ti before a woman wearing sunglasses, with a looks rating of about 8 out of 10, slowly walked over.
“What a crappy place, the air quality is so bad, not to ntion worse than the United States, it’s not even as good as Shanghai.”
As the woman was walking, she grumbled.
From afar, she spotted Chu Chen.
“Are you Chu Chen?”
Coming over, the woman rudely sized up Chu Chen from head to toe; her first impression was still acceptable.
“Lu Manrong?”
Chu Chen spoke.
At this mont, he sowhat understood his Grandma’s intention.
This might be the idea of Grandma and that Granny Lu; elders always hope the younger generation gets married and starts a family quickly.
Knowing the other party had an eligible young one, they wanted Chu Chen and Lu Manrong to get to know each other.
“Seeing a lady has so much luggage, don’t you offer to help?”
Lu Manrong stared at Chu Chen and asked.
Usually being praised by those admirers and admirers, Lu Manrong had beco very arrogant.
Thinking that just because she was a bit prettier, she could do as she pleased.
“Not my obligation, the car’s outside.”
Chu Chen didn’t have a good impression of Lu Manrong, said flatly, and walked directly outside.
Looking at Chu Chen with no intention of helping her, Lu Manrong’s face turned sour.
“So unchivalrous, no wonder he has no girlfriend.”
Lu Manrong muttered to herself, reluctantly carrying her luggage and walking out.
When she saw Chu Chen’s rcedes, she was even more disdainful.
“What a lousy car, even if it’s not a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, it should at least be sothing like a Porsche.”
Lu Manrong criticized in her heart, really not understanding why Grandma wanted to introduce her to this Chu Chen.
What a broken car, couldn’t even compare to her ex-boyfriends’ rides.
Still needing Chu Chen to take her ho, Lu Manrong restrained herself and didn’t speak her mind.
Chu Chen drove in front, and Lu Manrong sat in the back; as soon as she got in, she got straight to the point:
“What do you do?”
“I’ve driven for ride-share, delivered food, currently don’t have a stable job.”
Lu Manrong’s face changed slightly, and she asked more directly:
“Do you have any savings?”
Hearing this, Chu Chen thought for a mont:
“Not much savings, but I probably wouldn’t consider myself poor.”
His assets were mostly stocks of various large corporations, luxury residences, and cars; indeed, he didn’t have much savings.
Not much savings?
Still not poor?
“Haha, you really can boast.”
Lu Manrong sneered.
“All your money probably went into that rcedes, right?”
“What I hate most is poor people pretending to be rich.”
Lu Manrong said sarcastically, of course, if rich people pretended to be poor, she didn’t mind.
Just after she finished speaking, Chu Chen suddenly stopped the car.
“What’s up?”
Lu Manrong asked with dissatisfaction.
“The car seems to be broken.”
With that, Chu Chen got out of the car.
Curiously, Lu Manrong also got out.
At this mont, while Lu Manrong was not paying attention, Chu Chen took her suitcase out of the car and closed the door.
The next second, Chu Chen drove off into the distance.
Leaving Lu Manrong standing there.
Picky people are always hard to please, he didn’t even dislike Lu Manrong, and yet she thought she had the right to dislike him?
Watching Chu Chen abandon her and drive away, Lu Manrong was furious!
“Bastard, you bastard!”
Standing stiffly, Lu Manrong cursed.
“Scumbag, you poor wretch, trying to have a girlfriend?”
“Soone like you isn’t even worth being a rebound.”
Looking at the desolated surroundings, Lu Manrong was trembling with anger. Did Chu Chen just leave her in the suburbs?
The more she thought about it, the more furious she got; Lu Manrong picked up her phone and questioned her grandma why she arranged for her to et a poor guy.
Over the phone, hearing Lu Manrong’s questioning, Granny Lu was also very angry.
How dare he abandon her precious granddaughter on the road, and still be a poor guy?
Thinking so, Granny Lu went to question Chu Chen’s Grandma.
“My nephew isn’t poor, even i Garden is his.”
Grandma defended, of course, she didn’t like hearing bad words about Chu Chen.
As she spoke, she showed Granny Lu the photos taken in i Garden the previous day.
“What, that i Garden belongs to your nephew?”
Granny Lu was quite surprised.
Returning ho, Granny Lu imdiately called Lu Manrong.
“Grandma, what did you say, i Garden is Chu Chen’s?”
Hearing her grandma’s words, Lu Manrong was stunned.
