Chapter 443: Chapter 441: Visiting the Three Treasures Hall Only with an Agenda

Xie Yuanying still maintained a smile, "Oh dear, the child is speaking out of anger again. By the way, Wanwan, are you hungry? I’ll make you a late-night snack."

"No need, thank you. Do you have something to discuss with me?" Lin Wanwan asked directly, "If you’ve come just to see me, well, you’ve seen me now. It’s late, I’m tired, and you can leave."

Lin Zhantian frowned at her words but held back from scolding her.

Xie Yuanying, unfazed, replied, "It’s so late, your uncle and I won’t be leaving. I just went upstairs and saw you’ve redecorated. I noticed the rooms where your uncle and I stayed, as well as your cousins’, are gone. But that’s no problem, we’ll sleep in the guest room downstairs tonight; there are guest rooms downstairs anyway."

Lin Wanwan’s initial shock and anger had subsided, and she calmly said, "Uncle, aunt, have you lost your memory? Let me remind you, this villa is not under your name anymore. I bought it for 5.58 million yuan, and now it completely belongs to me.

There are no outsiders here, so I’ll speak freely. Our family does not welcome the two of you to stay over. If you have nowhere to go, I’ll book a room for you at the hotel next door."

Last time, she already threw their luggage out once. Does Lin Wanwan really have to be bullied by them again now?

Of course, she wouldn’t call the police. After all, she still had to consider the face of her grandparents. The two elders were always about saving face and would never want to see their descendants go to court, causing a huge scene.

Lin Wanwan understood her grandparents’ nature and didn’t want to disturb them in their peace, so she had to hold back for the time being.

Having troublesome relatives is just part of life; it’s not that easy to cut them off completely.

The people from the Gong family, Lin Wanwan could completely ignore, but when it came to the Lin family, she had to be cautious. After all, many Lin family members lived in the same complex as resettlement households.

Nonetheless, while Lin Wanwan wouldn’t send them to the police station for tea, she couldn’t indulge their behavior either; a few sharp words were necessary.

And she had to change the lock. Tomorrow, she’d replace it with an imported, high-end one.

Besides changing the lock, Lin Wanwan also planned to hold a housewarming party under the pretext of having remodeled the second and third floors.

The main purpose of this party was to inform the clan that this villa now belonged to Lin Wanwan personally. In the future, she hoped they wouldn’t meddle in her affairs or give people locksmith details.

Xie Yuanying and Lin Zhantian were a bit annoyed to see Lin Wanwan’s firm attitude. But they didn’t come without a reason, and it certainly wasn’t just to stay the night.

Their precious son had gotten into trouble again. Without much skill, he learned from others to gamble on football and pretended to be a rich heir to chase girls, which cost a lot. He got into online loans, robbing Peter to pay Paul, and now he owed over a million yuan.

Many loan companies were suing him, and if he couldn’t repay the money soon, he’d lose the cases, after which he’d be barred from traveling abroad, restricted in spending, and expelled from school, ruining his life.

Lin Zhantian and his wife’s life savings and inherited property from their parents had been spent last year to bail out their troublesome son, and now they had no money left to scrape together, hence their focus on Lin Wanwan.

They didn’t realize that Lin Wanwan could earn her own money, assuming instead that she’d found a wealthy boyfriend and was spending his money.

A few months ago in Mian City, they saw Lu Shouyue drive up in a Bugatti to pick up Lin Wanwan, and today they saw the expensive-looking solid wood furniture on the second floor and attic, which reinforced their confidence in Lin Wanwan’s financial status.

A mere million-plus debt would surely be nothing to Lin Wanwan, who had latched onto a wealthy individual.

It’s just that the Lin Zhantian couple didn’t recognize the value of the Yellow Flower Pear Wood and Agarwood furniture; otherwise, they wouldn’t have waited for Lin Wanwan to come but would have moved a couple of chairs or taken two porcelain pieces to offset the debt.

They weren’t afraid of what Lin Wanwan might do to them. They planned to claim these were the old items left by the elders, and dealing with a lone girl like Lin Wanwan should be easy!

Since they didn’t know the value of the items, they could only directly ask Lin Wanwan for cash now.

After stammering for a while, Xie Yuanying finally spoke up, not asking to borrow money but rehashing old topics, again suggesting they stay at Lin Wanwan’s place in Hai City.

Lin Wanwan, naturally, refused without hesitation, saying it was impossible.

Failing to secure a place to stay, Xie Yuanying then tried to play on Lin Wanwan’s emotions, and as she spoke, her real intentions emerged: she brought up buying insurance.

Yes, they wouldn’t lend money, but they could scam money by selling insurance.

Lin Wanwan wouldn’t buy such so-called "family-recommended" insurance projects, which are as cold as this, even if she donated the money to charity, so she, of course, refused.

The first tactic of selling insurance is to start with familiar targets, a point Lin Wanwan had heard before—she just didn’t expect Lin Zhantian and his wife to target her.

"Uncle, Aunt, I don’t understand insurance matters nor do I have spare money to buy such things. You should save this lucrative opportunity for others."

After being rejected, the two wouldn’t leave.

They came empty-handed today, without bringing any luggage, clearly intending not to leave if they couldn’t swindle money, and they knew Lin Wanwan wouldn’t lay hands on them.

In the past, Lin Zhantian’s couple always left the impression of being aloof with high airs when it came to Lin Wanwan.

Seeing them shamelessly selling insurance today was indeed unexpected for her.

Lin Zhantian wasn’t an uneducated man; he was once a white-collar elite. How could he abandon all decorum now? This was so contrary to the persona he used to project.

Lin Wanwan didn’t understand how low someone could stoop when desperate. When one loses face, they become invincible.

When basic living becomes a struggle and their only son is about to be ruined, all concepts of decency and pride become meaningless.

For the current Lin Zhantian couple, any means that can gather money to help their son is not shameful.

As for why they chose to cheat Lin Wanwan, it’s simple. She’s their niece. Even if things went south, there was room for maneuvering. If they cheated outsiders, those people wouldn’t extend any leniency.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t aware they weren’t truly selling investment and financial management insurance—they were just pretending to sell insurance to scam her money.

If she had known, she might not have cared about her grandparents’ peaceful rest and would’ve just thrown them out of the house.

"Wanwan, your aunt knows you’re young and beautiful now, and you’ve found a rich second-generation boyfriend, riding high on success. But you also need to plan for your future.

Gifts from men are all intangible. Real money in hand is what counts. But money in the bank depreciates daily, and investing in stocks and funds carries great risks. Yet, buying insurance is different; not only does it have high interest, but it also carries no risks..."
