"He's a nouveau riche pig farmer; even the villa next door is rented, not bought."

Having stayed at the Xie family's residence for so long and come into contact with many wealthy people, the driver's perspective has broadened considerably.

People like Grandpa Xu, who rent a villa even if they can't afford it, just to put on a show of wealth, are really beneath me.

The driver continued, "Everyone at home is guessing that the gifts sent from over there are probably all fakes."

"Only the second young lady treats it like a treasure; she even wore it openly this morning."

The driver's eyes were full of mockery. It wasn't his fault; the servants at home also had a WeChat group. Although he left early to take Xie Zi'an, he still heard the news.

Xie Zian, with his arrogant expression, remained noncommittal about his words.

His expression remained completely unchanged, as if he didn't care at all.

It wasn't until he got out of the car and saw Ding Huizhu that Xie Zi'an paused, "Mom."

Ding Huizhu was entertaining several ladies at home for afternoon tea when she was so annoyed by the noise from next door that she couldn't help but come out to check.

Upon seeing her son, she stepped forward gently, smiling as she asked, "Zian, you're back? Are you tired?"

Noticing that her son's expression was off, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zian paused, then shook his head. "It's nothing." He put his hands in his pockets, looking somewhat aloof. "I'm going upstairs to read."

He didn't have that much time to meddle in other people's business, he thought coldly.

Ding Huizhu nodded. "Then I'll have someone send some fruit and drinks upstairs so you can have something to eat first."

Xie Zian didn't leave immediately. Instead, he asked casually, "By the way, why is it so lively next door today?"

Ding Huizhu had just discussed the matter next door with Butler Wu, and her expression immediately turned somewhat cold.

"He's just a nouveau riche, don't bother with him."

She was initially quite pleased with the old man next door's fondness for Xie Li, but ever since Butler Wu reported the old man's background, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Xie Yunqiu clearly knew what was going on next door all along, but she had been pretending to be deaf and dumb all this time, probably secretly waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Xie Zian: "But I saw several luxury cars parked in the yard..."

Ding Huizhu knew this; people from next door started driving over one after another that afternoon, making it quite lively.

Butler Wu sent a servant to investigate. They didn't notice the car, but they did see several middle-aged men, all unfamiliar faces, and they looked rather rustic. Some of them were even wearing big gold chains, looking like nouveau riche.

Ding Huizhu said calmly, "A luxury car? It's probably rented."

These nouveau riche swaggering around with their thick gold chains might drive cars worth a few hundred thousand, but to be considered a luxury car like the one Xie Zian was talking about, it would have to be at least tens of millions. Can these people afford that?

The villas are all rented, and renting luxury cars to save face is standard practice.

Ding Huizhu didn't really want to talk about the family next door, and said gently, "Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."

Xie Zian nodded, completely dispelling any doubts he had.

That license plate number...maybe it's just similar.

As they were talking, Butler Wu walked in with a strange look on his face. "Madam, the second young lady... went next door."

Ding Huizhu abruptly raised her head, her eyes instantly turning sharp.

She wondered why the neighbors next door weren't this noisy this afternoon, but had suddenly become so.

Just thinking about what I just heard about "giving away luxury cars" and "giving away airplanes" makes me feel terrible, and the veins on my forehead start throbbing again.
