Chapter 862 - 750: Final Showdown for the Bride 3

Originally she thought Ye Qing would be at home, but who would have thought he went out right after breakfast, using some excuse.

Lin Wan had nothing to do, so she took Little Star to her godmother and drove around the city herself.

She was also thinking about opening their Shuxiang Pavilion in the Capital City. The only issue was that it’s too far away and there’s no suitable person to manage it.

In the compound, she heard a lot of gossip about the Mei Family, including the fight last night. Considering how exciting the Mei Family’s affairs are, they made for lively conversation. Lin Wan drove to the market and found a nice piece of empty land.

Lin Wan vaguely remembered this place, in the nineties it was a commercial area, and maybe in a few years it would be developed again. It was very popular in the nineties, though she didn’t know what happened later.

She didn’t know whether this place was up for sale; if it were, it would probably see a steep rise in a few years.

Lin Wan drove around for a long time, unsure which jurisdiction this place fell under.

But there were a few villagers’ houses not far away, and Lin Wan boldly went over to ask.

"Comrade, this place used to be a cemetery. Later, someone said the feng shui was bad, so the village collectively decided to move the graves. That piece of land belongs to our village. If you want a plot, you should ask at the village team. I don’t know if it’s for sale, but let me remind you, that place is not suitable for residence. If you want to settle here, you should find a place with good feng shui."

Lin Wan frowned when she heard it used to be a cemetery but didn’t mind much. After thanking the villager, she went to the village team to ask the village chief.

The village chief didn’t remind her like the kind villager did upon hearing Lin Wan wanted to buy the land.

"Comrade, that piece of land is quite large, you could build seven or eight big courtyards."

From the village chief’s words, Lin Wan gathered he was trying to raise the price.

"Village chief, I’ve bought land before, I know the current market, if it’s too high I definitely won’t be willing to buy."

The village chief laughed, pointing at her with a cigarette between his fingers, "Exactly, exactly, that land, it’s all regular price, a total of 30,000 yuan."

"30,000? That’s too expensive. Obviously, there’s a discrepancy in the area."

"Comrade, you can’t say that. Generally speaking, we don’t sell our village’s land to outsiders. That price can’t be lowered."

Lin Wan felt the village chief was trying to take advantage of her, seeing her as a woman, especially one driving a car.

After negotiating for a while without any effect, Lin Wan decided not to tangle any longer. She thought she’d go back and talk to Han Yi, let him help discuss it, or better yet, let Brother Junzi come, since he knew the area better than Han Yi.

On the way back, Lin Wan saw a store selling clothes from her family, bustling with customers and good business.

When she got home, it was just about noon, and the family had already returned.

Her godmother, godfather, and Brother Junzi were there, and not only them, Lin Wan also noticed Chen Haichang was unexpectedly present.

Among the people sitting in the living room, only Chen Haichang wore a smile, while the rest of the Mei Family had somber faces.

"Where did you go in this heat?" Han Yijian asked her as she came back, quickly pulling her to sit down and quietly asking.

"I was bored at home, went out for a drive, and found a good spot. I’ll tell you later." The two of them whispered in each other’s ears.

The other side, however, wasn’t so pleasant.

"I just went upstairs for a look, and think the second floor is more suitable for me to live in. Old man, let someone tidy up a room for me. Since I’m your son, surely I should have a place to stay when coming to the Mei Family."

"We don’t know you at all. If you keep this up, believe I’ll call the police right now," Old Mrs. Mei said angrily.

"What do you mean you don’t know me?" Chen Haichang replied, pointing at the paternity test on the table, "It’s written clearly in black and white. If you don’t believe it, do another one."

"Anyway, our Mei Family doesn’t welcome you, and there’s certainly no room for you. Hurry up and go," Xie Lingzhi wouldn’t let him take up a room.

"I heard you bought a courtyard for that grandson to make up for the years of neglect, dad, shouldn’t you also compensate your son? Speaking of which, this is big brother’s house, and it’s true I shouldn’t live here. Dad, buy me a place too." Chen Haichang chuckled, crossing his legs.

"Who’s your big brother, who’s your dad? Aunt Wu, call the police, tell them we have a scoundrel here," Mei Shuping stood up, furious.
