Is This Villa Li Xuan’s?

At 3 PM, Chu Chen drove his Porsche 718 into the underground garage of the Wan Ding Academy Villa Complex with Feng Zixuan.

Inside the garage, there were all sorts of luxury cars, including Bentley Bentayga, Aston Martin, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Ferrari, Porsche Panamera, Maserati Quattroporte, Lamborghini Aventador, and more. Every car was worth millions. Even the BMW 7 Series seemed like the most ordinary car in the place.

A Porsche 718 entering such an underground garage felt insignificant in comparison. It looked rather out of place.

"Wow, this underground garage looks like a five-star hotel! I didn't know even parking garages could be this luxurious," Feng Zixuan exclaimed, clearly shocked by how lavish the space was. She was especially amazed by the starry sky ceiling.

"Calm down, Zixuan," Chu Chen said with a smirk, wearing sunglasses, acting completely unbothered. "It's just a garage. You'll get used to it once you live here."

"You're amazing, Chu Chen!" Feng Zixuan beamed, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "Without you, I'd never have access to such a luxurious villa. It feels like even the air here smells better!"

"I can't wait to move in!" Feng Zixuan said, already imagining hosting her friends and throwing birthday parties in the new place.

She took out her phone to snap pictures, planning to post them on social media. Her caption was already written:

"Moving in! Finally living in my dream home, so happy!"

"Life should be about working hard, and beauty should be about shining!"

Then, she tagged the location—Wan Ding Academy Villa Complex. Her friends would be envious, and she could rub it in Li Xuan's face. After all, she had moved on to a better life after their breakup.

Soon after, they were greeted by a real estate agent named Xiao Zheng. He led them to DW8 Garden Villa, a three-story mansion with a luxurious walk-in closet, spacious bedrooms, a private outdoor pool, and a beautiful garden. The environment was peaceful, and the neighborhood was a calm oasis in the middle of the bustling city.

Feng Zixuan was impressed by everything. She loved the huge closet, already imagining herself hosting parties and flaunting her life.

"Chu Chen, I love this place! Let's rent it. There are so few villas available here, and this one is brand new and so luxurious. It's only 50,000 a month, which is a great deal!" Feng Zixuan said with a playful tone.

"Alright," Chu Chen replied after some thought. He agreed that at this level of luxury, the rent was reasonable. "Xiao Zheng, go ahead and contact the landlord."

"Sure, I'll send you the landlord's WeChat. Here's an electronic version of the standard contract. If everything's fine, you can sign it online." Xiao Zheng said. "The landlord is a young guy. He seems like a reasonable person."

"Could he be another rich second-generation?" Feng Zixuan asked curiously.

"I don't know," Xiao Zheng responded. "But anyone who can afford a 50-million villa must have some serious wealth."

Feng Zixuan's curiosity grew. Maybe, by connecting with this landlord, she could enter the upper echelons of society. After all, high-end neighborhoods like this attracted wealthy individuals.

As she added the landlord's WeChat, something about the ID seemed strangely familiar.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Li? Two tenants are interested in renting your villa at Wan Ding Academy. Are you available to sign the contract?" Xiao Zheng called.

The voice on the other end responded coldly, "Is one of them named Feng Zixuan?"

"Yes, the lady's name is Feng Zixuan, and the man is Chu Chen."

"Tell them to leave. My property will never be rented to her!" The line went dead with a click.

Xiao Zheng and Feng Zixuan were both stunned. Feng Zixuan's face went pale in disbelief.

"What? This villa belongs to Li Xuan?" she muttered, still unable to process the information. "No way, that can't be true!"

"Do you know this landlord, Miss Feng?" Xiao Zheng asked, confused.

"He's my ex-boyfriend!" Feng Zixuan replied, shocked and flustered.

Xiao Zheng was speechless. Chu Chen was equally thrown off.

What was going on? They thought they were renting a luxurious villa, but it turned out to belong to Li Xuan, the man Feng Zixuan had dumped for a better life.

Feng Zixuan was still in shock, trying to process how Li Xuan could possibly afford a villa like this.

"I don't believe it," she murmured. "This is impossible!"

Chu Chen, trying to maintain his composure, immediately suggested a new plan. "Xiao Zheng, you must be mistaken. Are you working with Li Xuan on this?"

Xiao Zheng remained silent, and Chu Chen quickly changed the topic. "Forget it. I think this villa isn't as great as it seems. The stairs are inconvenient, and cleaning up will be a hassle. Honestly, it looks fancy but lacks real substance."

He quickly shifted gears. "I was eyeing another property— a large flat at Wan Jiang Yipin. It's just as luxurious and has a great view of the river."

Feng Zixuan nodded but couldn't shake the thought of Li Xuan owning the villa.

After half an hour, they arrived at the new location.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chu and Miss Feng? I'm Xiao Wu, your agent for Wan Jiang Yipin. There are only three units available for rent. Which one are you interested in?"

"We're looking at the most luxurious one," Chu Chen said.

Xiao Wu led them to the best unit, 2802, which had a fantastic river view and was just renovated. "The landlord of this unit is said to be a mysterious wealthy person. He owns 128 properties and pays in full for them."

"Wow, that's impressive!" Chu Chen said, amazed.

"The landlord is certainly someone you should know," Xiao Wu added, unaware that the landlord was none other than Li Xuan.
