105: Chapter 105 Xu Wei Shows Off Assets
"Ah... so soon?" Lin Xinwan was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Then let's meet tomorrow night at eight! I'll send you the location then."
"Hey, your script is wrong! Shouldn't you ask if we're free first?" Lin Xinwan couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, then retorted.
"You're the Empress! Your Emperor not only gave you three million huaxia coins but also bought you a villa worth over 3.8 million."
"Unlike us little handmaidens, who probably couldn't save even one million huaxia coins even if we worked for an entire lifetime."
Xu Wei was stunned listening to this.
"How do you know my husband gave me three million huaxia coins?"
"How do I know? I overheard you! You spoke so loudly when you were paying for the house that day, did you think I was hard of hearing?"
So that was it. She had indeed said that at the time. After realizing the reason, Xu Wei smiled and shook her head.
"Alright, don't complain. If there's any good news in the future, I'll tell you first."
"That's a promise! You have to look after me once you get rich." Lin Xinwan said, subconsciously checking the time.
"Alright, enough chatting. I have to go to work. Oh, right, Weiwei, do you or your husband have any dietary restrictions?"
"I don't, but I'll ask my husband later."
"It's a deal then. Remember to message me after you've asked him."
"Got it, go to work!" With that, the two ended the video call.
After putting her phone in her pocket, Xu Wei looked up at her stunned classmates.
"Why are you all dazed? Waiter, the food is here, let's eat!" As she said this, she picked up her chopsticks. Xu Wei didn't want to waste any more time; her man was still waiting for her downstairs!
Gu Xiaonan and Zhang Ruoni were the first to react, their faces full of disbelief, especially since they had just met her man two days ago.
"Weiwei, did your husband not only give you three million but also buy you a villa?"
"Yeah, yeah, this is just too exaggerated! You two aren't even married yet. It's unimaginable. How much does your husband love you?"
At this point, the others finally came to their senses, and Gong Lina spoke up first.
"Weiwei, which district in the Jiangning did you find this god-tier boyfriend? Ask him if he has any friends. As for money, it doesn't really matter; I mainly just like the person."
"Nana, you like him without even seeing him? That's too fake! Weiwei, you should introduce him to me instead. If it works out, I won't even ask for a bride price when I marry him."
Jiang Min shot them a look of disdain, then turned to look at Xu Wei with envy.
"Weiwei, you are truly so happy. Your husband's net worth is no simple matter! No wonder you were so dismissive when someone confessed to you earlier. It turns out you're a little tycoon yourself!"
After hearing Jiang Min's words, everyone's eyes naturally shifted to someone, wanting to see his reaction.
Li Wenhao certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity and mocked, "I didn't know who was saying they hadn't seen a million earlier. Well, no wonder they hadn't seen a million—it turns out they just looked down on it!"
Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Zhang Cheng quickly retorted.
"So he says three million, and it's three million? And that villa—wanting to buy a villa in the Jiangning for less than four million? Who are you trying to fool? Even if you could afford it, who knows what remote corner it's in."
"What's even more ridiculous is that the call came at such a convenient time! It's obviously a shill hired to show off, deliberately putting on a show in front of you all."
Zhang Cheng, acting as if he had the victory in hand, continued to add.
"I'm telling you, Xu Wei, if you're going to fake it, at least make it convincing! It's one thing to fool those who haven't seen the world, but is it really appropriate to show off like this in front of me?"
Although the others were somewhat suspicious, no one spoke, wanting to see how Xu Wei would respond.
Xu Wei, who was eating, didn't take the praise to heart. After all, having been in society for so many years, she had seen plenty of such things.
Of course, as the old saying goes, if you're poor in the Jiangning, no one asks about you; if you're rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. This was a classic example.
When Zhang Cheng's words reached her ears, Xu Wei actually found it somewhat funny. After the series of conversations just now, she wasn't going to be polite to this arrogant guy anymore.
She put down her chopsticks, looked at his confident expression, and quickly struck back.
"Seeing how shocked you were earlier when you heard about fixed assets over a hundred million, your family's factory doesn't seem like much! It wouldn't be less than the money my husband spends on me casually, would it?"
Zhang Cheng scoffed at this and quickly mocked.
"You really managed to put on an act. Although my family's factory hasn't reached a hundred million, it's close. Whether it's stronger or weaker than your husband's net worth remains to be seen, let alone you."
"And don't change the subject. Didn't you say your husband gave you three million and a villa? Show everyone!"
Xu Wei didn't take the bait and instead looked at the others.
"Before I arrived, how was he bragging to you all?"
Li Wenhao quickly responded upon hearing this.
"He said the watch on his wrist is worth over two hundred thousand, and that his family's factory makes enough money in a year to buy ten of them."
Xu Wei glanced at his wrist, then calmly and sarcastically said.
"I don't know much about the price of the watch on your wrist, but even if it's two hundred thousand as you say, your family's factory only makes two million a year. How can you have the nerve to tell me about a hundred million? Honestly, I think saying your factory is worth thirty million is being generous to you."
"What's most ridiculous is a thirty-million small factory trying to compare itself to my husband. Apart from calling you stupid, I can't think of any other word."
"Didn't you want to see my proof? Take a look!"
As she spoke, Xu Wei opened the transaction record, then placed her phone casually on the dining table's lazy Susan, preparing to spin it.
Gu Xiaonan, who was nearby, hurriedly stopped her.
"Weiwei, don't spin it. We'll pass it to him for you. I've never seen how many zeros are in three million; let us feast our eyes on it too."
"Right, let us take a look too."
"Exactly, exactly."
Xu Wei didn't mind and nodded.
Then, everyone took a few looks before passing it on in turn.
Everyone who saw it had an expression of envy or shock on their face. After all, no matter how much you brag, it's only when you see it for real that you realize how shocking it truly is.
When Zhang Cheng saw that transfer record, he was very jealous. After all, he only had over a hundred thousand himself, and three million was a huge sum in his parents' eyes—it was impossible for them to give it to him.
Once the phone returned to Xu Wei's hands, Zhang Ruoni said with a dry throat.
"Weiwei, since your husband is willing to give you three million, why would he buy you such a cheap villa in the Jiangning?"
