Suburbs of Jiang City, villa area.
This is a world for the rich, where the price of every square meter is enough for an ordinary person to work hard for ten years without eating or drinking.
A few kilometers north of the villa area, there is a high-tech ring road. To the south, there are thousands of lights, and the orange lights flickering by the windows of the residential buildings emit a warm glow, converging into a torrent, seemingly full of endless life.
The north side appeared even more deserted, perhaps because the villa area was located in the suburbs. There were only a few scattered lights, making it look desolate.
The ring road stands in the center, like a clear dividing line, simply but cruelly separating the villa area from the residential area.
From south to north, the two rivers are clearly distinct.
...
The villa area, Li Family Manor.
By the time Li Junyang had copied and backed up the video, it was almost midnight when he went to find his father.
Pushing open the study door, you see Li Qingshan, hailed by the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce as the biggest nouveau riche of the year, sitting under the lamp, wearing a purple silk nightgown and flipping through a book.
"dad."
Li Junyang knocked on the door and then walked into the study. Even though he had prepared himself mentally before coming, he still tripped over the high threshold of the study and almost fell.
"When are you going to change the threshold? It's really... I always trip over it every time I come here."
Li Junyang angrily kicked the threshold. Hearing the noise, Li Qingshan looked up, took off his glasses, and said helplessly, "As the saying goes, you can't trip someone who's not careful. Can't you lift your leg a little higher before coming in?"
“Our threshold wasn’t that high before. You insisted on adding such a high threshold to the new house. I really don’t understand where this habit came from.”
Li Junyang was indignant.
Sometimes, he really felt that the Jiangshi Chamber of Commerce's assessment of his family was correct.
They're just a bunch of nouveau riche.
His father, in particular, not only didn't feel ashamed of the title, but was also smug about it. He acted like a nouveau riche. Even after moving to a new house in a villa area, he followed the trend of other rich people and installed these high thresholds that were only meant to cause trouble.
Things are a bit better now. When I first moved in, I tripped over something once. If I hadn't been quick-witted, I would have lost a front tooth and a nose.
"I've already said, this is an adult's arrangement. What do children know?"
Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly, feeling that no one understood him. He then waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop complaining. Sit over here and tell me... what's so urgent that you have to tell me in person so late at night? Can't you wait until tomorrow?"
Li Qingshan was about to go to sleep when he suddenly received a call from Li Junyang, who said he had something very important to say, which even concerned the future of Qingshan Real Estate.
Upon hearing the severity of the consequences, Li Qingshan could no longer take Li Junyang's words lightly. He had no choice but to get off the bed he had just climbed onto and wait until now.
“Because you’re absolutely interested in this, if we talk about it tomorrow, you’ll definitely complain about why I didn’t bring it up last night.”
When the topic turned to business, a confident smile immediately appeared on Li Junyang's face.
He couldn't wait to see the look of shock on his father's face. Even his father couldn't handle it, but he had done it.
It just so happens that the atmosphere at Aoyama Properties has been quite bad lately. Everyone is saying that their older brother, who is studying abroad, is about to return. Once he returns, he will be the heir to Aoyama Properties, and they are just a substitute for their brother while he is not in the country.
On the surface, Li Junyang showed no reaction to these rumors. He even publicly declared that he and his brother had a good relationship and that whoever ultimately inherited Qingshan Real Estate would be fully supported by the other.
He was a person who was very good at pretending and was a habitual liar.
As these lies were repeated more and more often, the people at Qingshan Real Estate began to believe them, Li Qingshan himself believed them, and even Li Junyang almost believed them himself.
But only Li Junyang himself knew that there could only be one successor for Qingshan Real Estate, and he was determined to have him.
Modern times are not ancient times; there is no such thing as primogeniture. Li Junyang insisted on becoming the sole heir.
That's why he was so attentive to Yanba, in order to prove his abilities to Li Qingshan.
"That's so mysterious... Tell me about it."
Li Qingshan rubbed his temples. Although he said that, it was not hard to tell from his expression that he did not take what Li Junyang was about to say to heart.
What good news could a young son who is still in high school bring her?
Li Qingshan reached for the cup to order coffee, but it was empty. He looked at it, picked up the cup, and got up to get some hot coffee from the coffee machine across the street.
He likes to stay in his study when he has nothing to do, sometimes not going out all day. It can even be said to be his second office. Li Qingshan is also very particular about coffee, using only carefully selected high-quality coffee beans. When he is tired, he will have a cup to refresh and calm his mind.
Speaking of which... I asked him to go to Weiyang a few days ago to check out the piece of land that Qingshan Real Estate had acquired, but this little rascal didn't go, did he?
well……
He's always restless and impatient, with ambitions that are too high, yet he refuses to be grounded. What will become of his youngest son?
Li Qingshan shook his head, turned on the coffee machine, and handed the cup over.
Buzzing—
The coffee machine started working.
At the same time, Li Junyang felt the atmosphere was just right, so he stopped being mysterious and said calmly, "I've successfully invited the underground emperor of Jiang City—Scarface—to come here. He's willing to back up Qingshan Real Estate. With him here, the suppression we face from the Jiang City Chamber of Commerce will completely cease to exist!"
Snap!
The scalding hot coffee flowed from the coffee machine into the cup, filling it only a little over halfway, barely covering the bottom, before it instantly fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Dark brown coffee spilled all over the floor, seeping through the gaps in the carpet, winding and turning, just like Li Qingshan's heart at this moment.
"What did you say?!"
Li Qingshan was stunned for a full minute before he realized what his youngest son had just said.
Cigarette burns?
Which cigarette burn scar is it?
The only underground emperor in Jiang City—who else but him would dare call himself Smoke Scar?
Can……
Such important figures are so powerful that even I can only meet them from afar, save their phone numbers but dare not call them. I rack my brains to find an opportunity to meet them, but because of the huge difference in status between us, it has been put on hold for a long time.
Li Junyang not only knows this living legend, but he can even invite him to support Qingshan Real Estate!
How did he do that?
