Bai Qingzhu did the math; this whole set of housing would cost millions, and after everything, it might only be around two million.
Wasn’t that too cheap?
Although she wasn’t short on money, who wouldn’t want to save a little more?
It couldn’t be a scam, could it?
But then again, this was Bilong Bay.
It probably wasn’t.
“Okay, let’s go make the payment,” she said.
The paperwork was quickly taken care of.
However, the salesperson was indeed envious; it was clear that Bai Qingzhu was very young, not much different in age from herself.
Yet, when she spent money, she was so generous and obviously wealthy.
It was truly impressive.
Bai Qingzhu got the keys and was planning to find a decorating company next, but she hadn’t gone far when she heard two familiar voices.
“Xiaoxiao, haven’t you always loved seaside houses?
Come to my place at Bilong Bay today.
Any type of house you like, I will buy it for you,” one said.
“I need to buy my own house as well?
Didn’t your foster parents leave you a few?”
“They did, but I think it’s better to buy with my own money.
I feel more accomplished that way.
And most importantly, I’m buying it for you.”
Encountering them was unlucky enough, and to think she saw them flaunting their affection.
It was truly disgusting.
Bai Qingzhu instinctively veered away.
She didn’t want to run into them.
Especially upon hearing those two voices, she couldn’t help but think of that nauseating sound from yesterday.
“Yeli, you’re the best to me,” said one.
They kissed each other without a care in the world.
The salespeople here also consciously looked away.
“What’s going on today?
Both of the Xiao Family’s young masters came.
Are they having a meeting here?” one mused.
“What two young masters?
Let me tell you, the real young master is our President Xiao.
How can this adopted son of the Xiao family compare with our President Xiao?” another remarked.
“Don’t talk nonsense.
Even as an adopted son, he has a lot of power,” someone cautioned.
Indeed, when Bai Qingzhu was with Xiao Yeli, she knew he was the adopted son of the Xiao family, not a true Xiao family member.
But to outsiders, even an adopted son was already impressive.
Back then, because she was with Xiao Yeli, many people envied her.
The Xiao family treated the adopted son very well; everyone said that marrying him would lead to countless days of blessing.
She didn’t pursue him for his status; she genuinely liked him.
Many times, she thought if it weren’t for that outing to sketch, drinking too much, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.
Would she and Xiao Yeli be married by now?
In her stillness, she was seen by Xia Xiaoxiao as she turned around.
Xia Xiaoxiao was truly surprised.
Hadn’t Bai Qingzhu left and vanished without a trace?
How could she appear here?
As Xiao Yeli’s head was about to turn, she planted a kiss on him and then found an excuse to temporarily leave his side.
She followed out and called out to Bai Qingzhu, who was about to leave.
Bai Qingzhu hadn’t expected Xia Xiaoxiao to notice her.
For a moment, she thought about pretending not to be Bai Qingzhu, but since she had returned to Royal City, they were bound to meet sooner or later.
So, she stopped, turned her head, and calmly looked at Xia Xiaoxiao.
Xia Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
Five years had passed, and she felt different.
But what did it matter if she was different?
She could bully her in the past, and she could still bully her now.
She quickly walked up to her, inspecting her from head to toe.
Bai Qingzhu was dressed in the latest fashion: wide-leg trousers, a three-quarter sleeve blouse, and a pair of granny shoes that, surprisingly, gave her a sense of mature charm.
She had changed so much in five years.
“It’s quite a coincidence.
I thought I’d never see you again in this lifetime,” she said.
