Chapter 259: Our New Home Is Definitely Better Than Here

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Fali had the most insane shopping trip in her life.

Although her family was quite wealthy, she was not a crazy shopaholic.

It had a lot to do with her personality. While Fali liked to wear famous brands and read fashion magazines just like most women, she was a rational shopper.

However, today she was forced to spend more than fifty thousand dollars on clothes and shoes.

Of course, even so, Fali was still rather rational.

Most items she bought cost between one to two thousand. The only exception was a pair of shoes which cost more than four thousand.

Chen Zhao had to put the items in his car before they could continue to shop.

Fali felt as if Chen Zhao was going to buy the entire street for her.

Even though shopping was indeed pleasurable, as a rational person, Fali was worried whether the items were too expensive and whether Chen Zhao could really afford them.

“Alright. I think we’ve bought enough.” Fali wanted to stop the shopping trip.

Chen Zhao muttered into Fali’s ears, “Actually, I want to see you in VS undies.”

Fali immediately flushed. “Asshole.”

After a while, they returned to the Coastal Rescue Team HQ. When the female lifeguards saw the various shopping bags Chen Zhao was carrying, they could not move their eyes away.

They were the brands every woman dreamed of getting. The things Chen Zhao was carrying probably cost more than their monthly salary.

To be honest, Chen Zhao really did not want to carry the items himself. His SUV trunk was already full, so he had to put the rest in Fali’s car.

Anyway, the scene was a huge blow to the women in the HQ.

They were confident that their appearance and body were comparable to Fali’s. Why could they just not meet a man who was rich and willing to spend for them?

The branded clothes Chen Zhao was carrying cost at least twenty thousand.

“Fali, don’t drive too fast today. Follow me. I’ll bring you to a place.”

“Where?”

“You’ll know when we arrive.”

Is he going to propose to me? Fali thought.

What should I do then?

I’m not ready…

Nevertheless, Fali did not know how to reject Chen Zhao. She really liked him.

If Chen Zhao was rejected, would they break up?

Fali drove her car and followed Chen Zhao.

She soon realized that they had entered Beverly Hills.

“Chen, where exactly are we going?” Fali kept imagining the various possibilities.

Chen Zhao’s car made many turns and climbed the hill. Eventually, he stopped in front of a villa.

Fali was even more puzzled. Is it his friend’s house?

Is he going to introduce me to his friend?

Why didn’t he tell me earlier then?

He has no reason to keep it a secret, right?

Fali alighted from her car and looked at Chen Zhao, confused. “Chen, is this your friend’s house?”

“It’s our temporary house.” Chen Zhao gave a dry laugh.

“Why?” Fali’s face was filled with doubt. “Chen, isn’t our house in Mountain Town good enough? Why are we moving here? Also, our new home will be ready soon.”

“Err… Actually… our house had a fire and everything is gone.”

“…” Fali finally understood why Chen Zhao had forced her to shop and buy so many things.

All her belongings had been burnt.

“Everything’s gone?”

“Everything’s gone,” Chen Zhao confirmed.

“Were you at home that time?” Fali suddenly looked at Chen Zhao, worried. “Were you injured?”

“No.”

“It’s great that you were not hurt.” Fali hugged Chen Zhao.

Cough, cough…

Chen Zhao turned his head and realized it was Paul.

“Err… Paul, why are you here?”

“Mr. Rasfa asked me to deliver some things to you. I thought you probably haven’t prepared the daily necessities, so I brought some here,” Paul said.

“Thank you, Paul.”

Paul was sensitive enough to leave after delivering the items.

Fali admired the view of villa. To be honest, the villa was in an excellent location. Situated halfway up the hill, they could see half of Beverly Hills and an entire coastline in the distance. The villa faced the magnificent sea and rested against the lush mountains.

It also had a swimming pool and various modern facilities.

“Chen, is our new home better than this place?”

“Definitely. It’ll be a lot better.”

The villa was actually quite small.

It also did not have a lot of space on the outside. In fact, their original rented house was more spacious outside.

Black-Ma, White-Ma and the rest could only play on the rooftop.

The house Robio had designed for them was three to four times bigger than this villa.

They each had their own geographical advantages.

Beverly Hills was one of the busiest places. Mirror Lake was certainly much quieter.

If the rivers connected to Mirror Lake could be widened, small and medium ships would be able to pass by their house. Chen Zhao felt that this would make their new home much more lively.

Furthermore, Amon would also be able to enter the lake.

It would truly be a reunion, unlike now. Chen Zhao’s entire “family” was kind of living in rented properties.

…

At night, Spike was hiding in an abandoned factory with a bottle of red wine in his hand.

He already knew that he was being hunted by the police.

Attempted murder, arson, burglary.

Spike knew that he was done for, unlike his crimes in the past.

In the past, he would at most be kept in the police station for three days. Nothing would happen after that.

Now, he would be jailed for at least several years.

All he wanted at the moment was to earn some money and then leave the states.

He would hide in a Third World country. At least he would not be chased by both the police and the loan sharks.

Just then, he noticed some light outside the factory.

Spike immediately lowered his body nervously and looked at the outside carefully.

There was a car. A few men in black jackets alighted from the car. One of them was holding a case.

Suddenly, Spike’s phone vibrated. He turned off the vibration at once to avoid being exposed.

“We are already here. Where are you?”

Spike remained silent. He had to confirm whether those men were the correct people.

To be honest, he really did not understand why someone would spend a million dollars on a bottle of red wine.

No, it was more like one-third of a bottle.

Despite so, someone was still willing to pay a million for it.

Spike felt it was really absurd.

After a while, Spike finally said, “I’m in the factory. Only one of you can come in.”

The person holding the case walked in and looked at Spike who was hiding in the darkness.

“Where’s the thing?”

“I need to see the money first,” Spike said carefully. It was a million-dollar trade, after all. He did not know if the person had been lying to him.

The person unlocked the case and threw it before Spike.
