He had truly taken a liking to He Qianqian. This woman had something uniquely alluring that none of the many women he’d been with had. Her distinctive charm gave him a sense of novelty.
For scions like them, the thrill of novelty was always the most enticing.
"I’ll offer four times the price, how about you let your mom sleep with a beggar?" Lin Tian was not one to hold his temper, and the fact he hadn’t resorted to physical violence was already a testament to his patience. However, not throwing punches didn’t mean he wouldn’t throw insults.
"What did you just say?" Gongsun Wudao’s face darkened instantly upon hearing Lin Tian insult his mother, as he glared at Lin Tian and said, "Don’t believe I’ll have the villa manager take your house from you. With just two times the price, oh no, just one and a half times, I think he would be quite happy to do so."
"Are you threatening me?" Hearing this from Gongsun Wudao, Lin Tian put away his anger and instead looked at him with a mocking smile. "I really don’t believe you would."
You should know, the villa Lin Tian purchased was one of the finest in the Autumn Sadness Villa area, fetching a price of nearly nine hundred and ninety million. Not only could he bribe the manager, but could he really come up with that much money?
Double or one and a half times the price, that still amounted to no less than over ten million.
"So what if I’m threatening you? Someone as poor as you could be crushed to death with my money," Gongsun Wudao arrogantly declared. "Be smart and hand over this woman. Then I might even let you make some money. Otherwise, get out of here."
Gongsun Wudao was brimming with confidence, his expression one of absolute certainty in his victory. As a rich man, he understood a common weakness among people of this sort: their vanity.
In his eyes, if Lin Tian could afford a luxury villa here, he would definitely boast about it to his acquaintances. Now that he threatened to force Lin Tian out, he was sure that Lin Tian would relent.
Because if Lin Tian really couldn’t live in this villa area anymore, he’d lose face in his social circle and would no longer be able to mix in those circles.
"Make the phone call, but remember my villa is called Emperor Residence," Lin Tian said with a playful look towards Gongsun Wudao.
"Heh heh... it seems you really don’t believe in my capability," Gongsun Wudao, after hearing what Lin Tian said, was momentarily startled, then his face turned grim. He really took out his phone to make a call, looking at Lin Tian he said, "You’d better kneel down and beg me later, or you’ll surely have to leave."
Soon, Gongsun Wudao got through on his phone, and the voice of a middle-aged man oozing obsequiousness came from the other side. "Yo, if it isn’t the young master Gongsun? What brings you to call me today?"
"Manager Wu? I’ve got a bit of a situation. I find living in a single villa cramped, so I’m thinking of buying another," Gongsun Wudao said into the phone, his look at Lin Tian filled with pride.
A cold smile played at the corner of his mouth as if he was saying, "See, kid? That’s how rich I am. One villa’s not enough for me—I have to buy a second."
"Is that so?" When the manager Wu on the other end heard that Gongsun Wudao wanted another villa, an excited voice chirped, "May I know which villa has caught young master Gongsun’s eye? I’ll go handle the procedures for you right away."
Of course, Manager Wu had reason to be excited. The villas here were extremely expensive, with even the cheapest at over a million—and that was for a villa in the least desirable location. But even if it was the cheapest, selling one would bring him a commission of tens of thousands, so every customer was like a god to them.
"Right, I’ve taken a fancy to the Emperor Residence, I’ll take that one," Gongsun Wudao stated loftily.
"Ah?" Manager Wu on the other end was taken aback on hearing Gongsun Wudao mention the Emperor Residence. After a moment, he explained awkwardly, "Uh, young master Gongsun, that villa has been sold already. Do you want to consider another? Rest assured, I will definitely find you the best alternative."
"What does it matter if it’s been sold? Are you suggesting I don’t have the money?" Gongsun Wuqing became displeased upon hearing this.
"No, young master Gongsun, you misunderstand. I would never doubt your finances, but the villa has already been sold. Doing so would be rather unreasonable," Manager Wu explained with some difficulty.
"Well, that settles it. Money’s no object for young master Gongsun—I’ll buy it for one and a half times the price, oh no, make that double the price," Gongsun Wudao said, looking at Lin Tian with triumphant eyes.
"Two times the price?" Manager Wu’s voice trembled with excitement at the prospect of such a high price.
"Are you sure, young master Gongsun? Although that villa has been sold, if you really like it and are willing to pay double the price, we can still negotiate with the current owner," Manager Wu quickly answered.
Upon hearing this response, Gongsun Wudao’s satisfaction was evident. His phone was on speaker, and as Manager Wu agreed that the villa could be sold to him, Gongsun Wudao’s look towards Lin Tian was full of arrogance.
"See that? I told you your villa could be mine if I wanted it."

"Hehe... didn’t you think to ask about the price?" Lin Tian said with a mocking smile, undisturbed by Gongsun Wudao’s arrogance.
"Is there a need? With your kind of money, it’s not just one villa—If I wanted, I could buy three or four," Gongsun Wudao said, disdainfully. To him, someone like Lin Tian couldn’t afford a truly expensive villa.
"Ring, ring, ring..."
Just then, Lin Tian’s phone rang. The call was from the customer service of Autumn Sadness Villa.
Gongsun Wudao, hearing the ringtone, looked even more smug and said to Lin Tian. "Answer it, it must be from the customer service of Autumn Sadness Villa, don’t chicken out now."
"Heh..." Instead, Lin Tian just chuckled and picked up the phone. Soon enough, Manager Wu’s voice was heard, "Hello, is this Mr. Lin?"
"That’s me," Lin Tian nodded as he spoke.
"Mr. Lin, it’s like this—we have a customer who is interested in your villa and willing to pay double the price for it. Would you be willing to part with it? Of course, we won’t let you lose out. We will return the nine hundred ninety-eight million RMB you paid and compensate you with an additional fifty percent penalty fee."
"Is that so? Well, of course I’m willing to do it. Who would have a problem with money, right?" Lin Tian replied cheerfully, also having his phone on speaker, so Gongsun Wudao could hear everything clearly.
