"Qin Yang, what do you plan to do next?"

In the Ferrari, Ruan Xinxue asked Qin Yang.

"I want to buy a villa first, so my parents can live more comfortably."

Qin Yang thought for a moment and said.

Although Qin Weimin and Cheng Suqin didn't have high demands for living conditions, this was a way to show his filial piety. Besides, he could build a small house in the villa yard, giving the Fire Flame Lion a place to stay, which could also protect his parents and watch over the house.

"Then I'll go with you to take a look," Ruan Xinxue said.

"Okay."

Qin Yang nodded with a smile. Having acquired a Spirit Treasure Pill Furnace put him in a great mood; Sister Ruan was truly his lucky star.

"It's the peak season for real estate sales right now, and several properties are opening. Which one should we go to?"

Ruan Xinxue asked.

Qin Yang thought for a moment—he knew someone in real estate, so he dialed a number.

"Hello, is this Brother Qin?"

After two rings, the call was answered, and Zhang Wanqing's voice came through.

"Old Zhang, you're in real estate. Do you have any properties opening now? I want to buy a villa."

Qin Yang came straight to the point and stated his intention.

"Haha, still the straightforward Brother Qin. I have a property opening right now. It's today near Celestial Lake in East Ping District, called the Celestial Lake Villa District," Zhang Wanqing said with a laugh.

"Alright, I'll head over shortly."

Qin Yang nodded and said.

"That's great. I'm currently attending a corporate event in the city. You go ahead and check it out first. I'll join you once it's over," Zhang Wanqing replied with a smile.

After a few more words, Qin Yang hung up the phone, and he and Ruan Xinxue headed to the Celestial Lake Villa District.

Celestial Lake is a rare natural lake in Yunshui City, with clear water and beautiful scenery, surrounded by greenery.

More than half an hour later, Qin Yang arrived near Celestial Lake. It was easy for him to find the sales office of the Celestial Lake Villa District mentioned by Zhang Wanqing.

The sales office, located by the lake, was quite impressive.

Inside the lobby, there was a constant flow of people, with several property models displayed. In front of each property model, there was a sales representative explaining.

"There sure are a lot of people here."

Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue walked to a property model and looked up. There were over a hundred villa models.

The villas closest to Celestial Lake, offering a direct view of the beautiful scenery, were the most eye-catching, with only about twenty available, all priced at over 80 million.

Besides villas, there were high-rise apartments for sale. Across the street from the villa area was a high-end residential neighborhood, with each building having twenty floors. Many prospective buyers focused their attention on this high-end residential area.

"Qin Yang, which one do you want to buy?"

Ruan Xinxue asked.

"Among those, I might as well buy two,"

Qin Yang thought for a moment and pointed to a few villas near Celestial Lake.

One could be for his parents, and the other could accommodate Zhao Hui, Wang Hu, and others, making it easier for them to protect his parents without disturbing their life. As for the White Crane and the Fire Flame Lion, they could also be housed there.

"Oh, isn't this Ruan Xinxue?"

As the two were talking, a female voice with a hint of surprise sounded.

"Wu Yan? It's you."

Ruan Xinxue turned around, her face also showing a trace of surprise and joy.

In front was a woman in a red dress with slightly heavy makeup, holding a Hermes bag.

"Didn't expect to see you here. Are you also here to buy a house?"

The woman named Wu Yan glanced at Ruan Xinxue.

"I came with a friend."

Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"Friend?"

Wu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Yang.

"This is my friend Qin Yang, and this is my college classmate Wu Yan."

Ruan Xinxue introduced them to each other.

"He's your boyfriend, right, Xinxue? I'm surprised. In college, so many guys chased after you, and you didn't even spare them a glance. I didn't think you'd start dating right after graduation."

Wu Yan scrutinized Qin Yang, her gaze carrying a hint of disdain—just this guy, he's not bad-looking, but does he have money to buy a house?

Ruan Xinxue's lips curled with a touch of helplessness, not wanting to explain further.

"My husband, Old Zhu, insisted on buying me a small villa. I thought it was too expensive, costing seven or eight million, so I opted for a 150-square-meter four-bedroom apartment at 20,000 per square meter, totaling just three million."

Wu Yan said proudly, pointing to the high-end residential area.

"Congratulations to you then."

Ruan Xinxue smiled. She was happy to see her college classmate at first, but unexpectedly, it turned into a competition.

"Haha, it's nothing. By the way, what kind of apartment are you guys looking for? The smallest here is a 75-square-meter two-bedroom for 1.5 million."

Wu Yan stared at Ruan Xinxue.

"We're just looking around."

Ruan Xinxue smiled faintly.

"Oh, just looking around, huh?"

Wu Yan's voice deliberately stretched out.

At that moment, she had a sense of pride. In college, Ruan Xinxue was the recognized beauty, pursued by many rich young men, and yet she didn't pay them any mind. Compared to herself, who wasn't bad-looking either, why wasn't there any rich young man after her?

However, whether one does well or poorly, it all comes down to how things turn out after graduation. So what if she was the college beauty? Wasn't she outshone now?

"Actually, these days, getting a mortgage is a good option, but it puts a lot of pressure on young people with the repayments, and the down payment comes from parents, unlike my husband Old Zhu, who just swiped his card for a house worth millions."

Wu Yan shrugged her Hermes bag higher, her gaze sweeping over them with a hint of arrogance.

"You go ahead and look around; Qin Yang and I will check over there."

Ruan Xinxue said and then tugged at Qin Yang's sleeve. Qin Yang didn't want to interact with this woman either, so they planned to walk away.

"Hey, don't go! It's almost been a year since we graduated."

Wu Yan quickly exclaimed. She had finally caught someone to show off to, especially the former college beauty; how could she let them go easily?

"My husband Old Zhu will be here soon. He knows the sales manager here. With just a word from him, you could save a few thousand. That's probably your yearly salary, right?"

Wu Yan's voice was drawn out, attracting the attention of the people around them.

"No need for that."

Ruan Xinxue's brows furrowed slightly. It hadn't even been a year since college ended, and all camaraderie had vanished, leaving only a sense of competition. This was indeed reflective of many alumni gatherings in today's society.

"How can you say that? Don't be shy. Old classmates, it's just a small favor, just a word. My husband Old Zhu will be here very soon."

Wu Yan's face looked more radiant, scanning the crowd impatiently. Why wasn't that damned fat guy here yet? It was rare to have the chance to flaunt in front of the former college beauty.

"Sister Ruan, were you this low-key at university? No one knew about your background?"

Qin Yang asked, slightly curious in a low voice.

Ruan Xinxue's grandfather was a senior military figure, and she had a large jewelry company; her family background was quite strong. However, Wu Yan's words indicated she was unaware of this.

"I studied economic management in college, and whenever I had no classes, I interned at the company. Apart from two close friends, I didn't mingle much with other classmates." Ruan Xinxue replied softly.

"Hey, Old Zhu, over here!"

Wu Yan suddenly acted like she had discovered a new continent, delighting as she waved her hand. That damned fat guy had finally arrived.

In the crowd, a pot-bellied middle-aged man and a sales manager in a suit were walking towards them.
