On the other side, w.a.n.g Lei was angry, and she stared fiercely at Shen Xi. She gritted her teeth and said viciously, “Shen Xi, you indeed have an exaggerated opinion of your abilities. Do you think a peasant girl from a small town can defeat me? You can’t even afford a toilet in Beijing. Do you think you can afford to raise Guan Lei?”
Guan Lei just wanted to say he didn’t need Xi to raise him. As long as Xi acknowledged his ident.i.ty, he could raise Xi. He could bring his house, cars, and other a.s.sets to raise her. But someone forestalled him.
“Who said Xi can’t afford a house and raise Guan Lei?” Shen Qian said loudly with a gla.s.s of champagne in her hand.
Looking at w.a.n.g Lei, whose eyes were red with anger, Shen Qian snorted and asked, “Did you say that?”
Although w.a.n.g Lei was angry, she was still rational. Shen Qian was from the Shen Corporation, and her husband’s family was the Zheng Family, which controlled 60% of the hospitals in the country. She knew she could not offend them, so she could only endure and shut up.
Shen Qian placed the wine gla.s.s in Zheng Huai’s hand—Zheng Huai was her son. She pulled out Shen Xi and sighed, “It’s a pity someone bullied Xi when she first came. And someone also derided her for lacking a house. It was way out of line.”
Shen Qian wiped the nonexistent tears on her face. Her beautiful lips opened and closed as she said domineeringly, “Then let’s go to the Savoye Garden in the south of the city. There’s a quadrangle courtyard. I think it’s suitable for you to raise your boyfriend.”
Everyone was in amazement suddenly, and they began to whisper. The Savoye Garden’s quadrangle courtyards were one of the best mansions in Beijing. It was the kind that people might not be able to afford even if they had enough money but no n.o.ble status.
w.a.n.g Lei was also astounded by Shen Qian’s lavish behavior. Even the w.a.n.g Family could not afford the exorbitant quadrangle courtyard, but Shen Qian gave it to Shen Xi so easily, let alone Shen Xi was just a b.u.mpkin. This was too strange.
Guan Lei, who stood at the side, frowned. “Why is Shen Qian so generous to Xi?” He thought. He further suspected that Shen Xi was a distant relative of the Shen family.
Shen Xi didn’t know how expensive the quadrangle courtyard was, but when she saw the expressions of the people around her, she knew that it must be very expensive. She hurriedly wanted to reject it.
However, Shen Qian did not give Shen Xi a chance to refuse. She quickly waved her hand and said to Zheng Huai, “Come, son, take out the property ownership certificate. Call the corporation’s lawyer over and sign the transfer immediately!”
w.a.n.g Lei was instantly dumbfounded. Was Shen Qian serious?
“How could the Lu family not be involved in giving a house to Xi?” A resonant voice came from the entrance of the banquet hall. The voice attracted everyone’s attention.
Shen Xi also turned her head to look and saw Lu De bringing his entire family over. There were grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Weren’t the Lu family and the Shen family enemies? Why did the Lu family come to Shen Qian’s birthday?
Shen Qian was so dumbfounded about the current situation. She immediately sent a message for help. “There are only two people in Shen’s family, but the entire family of Lu is there. We are outnumbered”. She thought.
Lu De and Ye Qi looked at their granddaughter, and they were very happy. They quickly went forward and looked Shen Xi up and down.
Ye Qi held Shen Xi’s hands and said happily, ‘You’re beautiful. Aiyo, you’re really beautiful.”
“Xi, I will give you a house too. We don’t accept the house from the Shen family. The Hala Ranch in the northern part of the city has a nice quadrangle courtyard. Secretary Zhao, hurry up and bring a pen and ink over. Write the gift contract immediately.” Ye Qi said in haste.
Everyone was dumbfounded again. The Hala Ranch’s quadrangle courtyard was the expensive elite housing, and so was the quadrangle courtyard of Savoye Garden.
“Ye Qi claims she is Shen Xi’s grandmother, but the Shen family never has any information about Shen Xi. Could it be that Shen Xi is Shen Yan’s daughter abroad? We don’t know about Shen Yan’s marriage and wedding ceremony.”
Everyone thought.
Was Shen Xi an illegitimate child?
“Lu De, we didn’t invite you, but you came here privately. you are impolite, right?” Shen Hui and Sun Yu also rushed over from behind. They were afraid that the Lu family would take Shen Xi away if the Shen family came there a little late.
“Shen Hui, don’t be proud of your house. The Lu family also has many houses.”Lu De said provocatively, “Xi, I’ll give you another luxury car. Take the check. You could buy any expensive things.”
Then, Shen Hui stood at Shen Xi’s side and said, “Only a luxury car isn’t enough! I’ll let Secretary w.a.n.g transport the luxury cruise ship for you later!”
Lu De and Shen Hui began to compare to buy expensive things. In just a few seconds, Shen Xi’s social status had risen steadily..
