Jiang Chen left The Four Seas Investment and rode the electric bike back to the hotel.
"Mom, let's go, I'm taking you to buy a house!" Back in the room, Jiang Chen said with a light laugh, looking at his mother.
Shen Xiaoqin was momentarily stunned, looking at Jiang Chen with surprise, "Chen'er, what house are you going to buy? Where did you get the money?"
"Mom, I saved a wealthy person, and they gave me a sum of medical fees. We won't have to worry about money anymore."
Jiang Chen explained, then stepped forward to take his mother's hand, "So, your son is now wealthy, and we can't always stay in a hotel, can we? Let's go and look at houses. You won't have to suffer anymore."
Shen Xiaoqin's eyes immediately brimmed with tears; she reached out to touch Jiang Chen's face, her eyes revealing deep remorse, "My son, it's all my fault. You should have been living in luxury, it's all because of me... "
Jiang Chen looked at Shen Xiaoqin in surprise, reaching out to wipe her eyes, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you saying such odd things?"
Shen Xiaoqin's expression changed slightly, she quickly wiped away her tears, and chuckled as she shook her head, "I'm fine. I'm just happy to see you doing well."
"Well, let's go then, mom."
Jiang Chen smiled, and led Shen Xiaoqin out of the hotel.
After riding around with his mother on the electric bike, he came across an advertisement for a nice property development. Jiang Chen was interested, so he took his mother to the development.
"Mom, we're here."
Jiang Chen parked the electric bike and walked with his mother towards the sales hall. At the entrance, they encountered a salesperson, and Jiang Chen asked her to help get some information.
"Divine Doctor Jiang?!"
Suddenly, a surprised and joyful shout came, causing Jiang Chen to stop in his tracks and turn around.
He saw Zhu Zhengkun, the president of Wanguo Bank whom he had saved before, coming towards him excitedly.
"Oh, President Zhu," Jiang Chen greeted with a smile.
Zhu Zhengkun looked at Shen Xiaoqin, then turned back to Jiang Chen with an apologetic expression, "Divine Doctor Jiang, I'm so glad to see you again. That day at home, I lost my temper at you, which was really inappropriate."
Jiang Chen chuckled, "No worries, as long as you're healthy, that's what matters."
The guilt on Zhu Zhengkun's face deepened, "You truly have the heart of a healer. You saved my life, yet I couldn't help you with your difficulties. I couldn't even resolve that loan issue for you, I really feel terrible about that."
Jiang Chen waved his hand offhandedly, "It's really fine. You can't be blamed for the bank's affairs, and I've already resolved my issue. Let's not talk about this anymore."
Zhu Zhengkun eagerly said, "But how can that be okay? You saved my life! Divine Doctor Ye Yang said that without you, I would have been a goner. How can I not repay such a life-saving debt?"
"Excuse me for a moment," at that point, the salesperson came over with a brochure, handing it to Jiang Chen, "Sir, here is the property information you requested. Take a look and see if there is anything suitable."
"Property information? Divine Doctor Jiang, you want to buy a house? That's wonderful." Zhu Zhengkun glanced at the brochure and then thrust a set of keys into Jiang Chen's hand, "Divine Doctor Jiang, this is a house I recently purchased. It's for you—it's fully furnished and ready to move in."
Jiang Chen hastily refused, "That's not acceptable, I really can't accept this."
Shen Xiaoqin, grasping the situation, also helped Jiang Chen to refuse, "Sir, we can't accept your house."
President Zhu looked at Shen Xiaoqin, "This is...?"
Jiang Chen introduced, "This is my mother, Shen Xiaoqin."
"Ah, Sister Shen, hello. You really must convince Divine Doctor Jiang to accept this!" President Zhu, unable to persuade Jiang Chen, turned to Shen Xiaoqin, "Sister Shen, Divine Doctor Jiang saved my life. With such a huge favor, how can I not repay him? If I didn't repay, would I still be human? Besides, it's just a house. You surely don't think a house is worth more than my life, right?"
"This..." Shen Xiaoqin was rendered speechless by Zhu Zhengkun's words, turning to Jiang Chen, unsure of what to do.
Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, it seemed today there would be no choice but to accept the house.
But it didn't worry him too much. Zhu Zhengkun wasn't the type to miss one house. A house for a life wasn't a bad trade.
"Mr. Zhu, that's enough, isn't it enough that I accept it?"
Jiang Chen finally took the keys.
It was then that Zhu Zhengkun broke into a smile, "That's more like it, Divine Doctor Jiang. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Let's have dinner together when you have time."
After Zhu Zhengkun left, Jiang Chen, holding the keys, asked the salesperson beside him, "Does this house belong to your company?"
The salesperson, who had been stunned and envious, hastily nodded: "Yes, but these are keys to a villa. You might want to ask around in the villa district over there."
A villa? Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel delighted.
He turned to Shen Xiaoqin: "Mom, let's go check it out then."
Shen Xiaoqin nodded.
The two of them headed toward the villa district.
...
In the villa district's sales hall, there were two acquaintances of Jiang Chen looking at houses.
Xu Gang was with Li Liyun
After being thrashed by Jiang Chen a few days ago, Xu Gang was nearly driven mad with rage, yet he didn't dare to trouble Jiang Chen anymore. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became, until he realized that Jiang Chen was a live-in son-in-law of the Li family. Immediately, an idea struck him:
If I can't mess with you, I'll play with your wife.
By the time Xu Gang rushed to the Li family's residence, he learned that Jiang Chen had already divorced Li Liyun. Although somewhat reluctant, he thought having fun with Jiang Chen's ex-wife wouldn't be too bad. Li Liyun was feeling lost due to the shock of the divorce, and when Xu Gang made advances, the two quickly became involved.
Today, Xu Gang brought Li Liyun to buy a house, planning to secure Li Liyun for himself once and for all.
Suddenly, both of them were taken aback, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
They saw Jiang Chen and Shen Xiaoqin.
Their eyes began to fill with blood in an instant.
Indeed, enemies red in the eye when they meet!
Xu Gang gritted his teeth, holding back a surge of anger, then loudly said to Li Liyun, "Yo, who's this? Isn't this the live-in son-in-law you just dumped, Li Liyun?"
A spiteful look flashed in Li Liyun's eyes as she formed a scornful smirk on her lips: "That's right, such trash, how dare he even show up here? It's an eyesore indeed."
"Chen'er," Shen Xiaoqin was startled by their sudden hostility and instinctively reached out to grab Jiang Chen, shrinking back.
"Mom, don't be scared, I'm here."
Jiang Chen tightened his grip on his mother's hand and, looking at Xu Gang and the others, squinted his eyes slightly.
Jiang Chen glanced at the arm Xu Gang had in a sling, wrapped with bandages, and let out a cold laugh: "Xu Gang seems to be doing quite well, eh? You already forgot about the pain in your arm?"
"You..."
Xu Gang's face went pale, remembering the night at the hotel when Jiang Chen had given him a good beating.
All of a sudden, the pain in his arm seemed to come rushing back.
Li Liyun's face changed slightly, and with Xu Gang speechless from being blocked by Jiang Chen, she felt they were losing face. Glancing at Shen Xiaoqin, she figured out why Jiang Chen was here and said mockingly, "Of course Mr. Xu is doing great, much better than certain people who always have their old mother living in rented houses. You came to buy a house today, didn't you? But can you even afford it?"
Xu Gang also recovered and snorted coldly: "Exactly, a freeloader who can't afford anything, and you think of buying a house here? Are you just here for eye candy? But I feel sorry for your mom, following a poor son like you, unable to buy, must be quite the craving, huh?"
The salesperson standing nearby had also realized by now that there was a feud between the two parties.
