Chapter 172: Chapter 172: A Simple Life and Someone to Test Chu Chen’s Mettle (Subscription Requested)
10 Lake Heart Islands?
Half of the Galaxy Bay Villa area?
After hearing Chu Chen’s words, everyone present wore a look of astonishment.
Did I hear that right?
“Brother-in-law, those 10… 10 Lake Heart Islands, are they all yours?”
Yan Lexian asked Chu Chen in shock. Even he couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
If Chu Chen owned one Lake Heart Island Villa at Galaxy Bay, they’d believe it.
Two would also be acceptable.
Three would be a stretch.
But now, his brother-in-law said all ten Lake Heart Island Villas were his?
“Yeah, numbers 1 to 10 are all mine.”
At that moment, Chu Chen was gazing into the distance, contemplating which villa to live in later.
He answered quite casually.
Hearing Chu Chen’s nonchalant response, everyone’s shock intensified.
Yan Lexian and a few friends looked at each other, dumbfounded.
They knew from Chu Chen’s Sunrise Yacht that he was a big shot, a wealthy man.
But they never imagined he was this loaded!
Numbers 1 through 10, the best, largest ten Lake Heart Islands, all ten villas belonged to Chu Chen?
That was half the villa area!
What kind of connections, background, and financial power would it take to buy these?
They asked themselves, even if the old master of their family took charge, buying just one villa wouldn’t be 100% guaranteed.
Next to them, Kang Mo stood stunned.
He initially thought his uncle buying one villa, even if it was the smallest at Galaxy Bay, was pretty impressive.
But never did he imagine running into someone like this great deity!
Other people bought villas one at a time.
You bought half the villa area outright!
Is this something a human could do?
Are you a devil?!
Looking at Chu Chen, Kang Mo trembled with fear.
Who exactly was this brother-in-law of Yan Lexian’s? Where did this big shot come from?
Beijing?
One of those legendary secret aristocratic families?
Or a super conglomerate?
Terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
Just now, he had mocked him as freeloading.
But it turned out he was an unattainable big shot.
At this moment, he finally understood why Yan Luoshui had no interest in all those young men in Hang City.
Compared to her current boyfriend, those young men were all trash, garbage.
“Let’s go.”
Ultimately, Chu Chen chose the largest Lake Heart Island, number 1.
Getting into the car, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui set off straight for Lake Heart Island number 1.
Yan Lexian and the others followed.
Left behind at the scene was a dumbfounded, trembling Kang Mo.
While Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui, along with others, toured Lake Heart Island number 1,
inside the chairman’s office of Galaxy Bay’s developer, Xinghe Enterprises Co., Ltd, also known simply as Xinghe Realty,
the general manager was briefing the chairman, Cao Qiankun.
“What?”
“Someone bought Lake Heart Islands number 1 to 10 at Galaxy Bay?”
“And it was paid in full?”
Even Cao Qiankun couldn’t stay seated.
To be honest, he was also wealthy, with total assets in the billions, but most of it was tied up in the company.
Even he couldn’t instantly come up with such a large amount of liquid cash.
Now, the general manager was telling him someone paid in full for villas 1 to 10 at Galaxy Bay.
So how much liquid cash did this mysterious tycoon have at their disposal, and how many assets did they own?
Even Cao Qiankun, one of the top ten real estate tycoons in Hang City, couldn’t imagine.
“Any news on the specific identity of this mysterious tycoon?”
Cao Qiankun inquired.
“No, only that he’s called Chu Chen, and his contact information. Besides that, not even a photo,” the general manager answered apologetically.
“That’s not acceptable, to not get acquainted with such a big shot is a huge loss.”
Cao Qiankun started pondering.
Entrepreneurs are most sensitive to opportunities, knowing how to seize them anytime without letting any slip away.
Otherwise, they couldn’t succeed.
Seizing every opportunity was what Cao Qiankun excelled at.
…
Touring the massive Lake Heart Island number 1, Yan Lexian and the others were even more astonished.
This Lake Heart Island number 1 was enormous, way larger than their family estate.
It could easily accommodate a whole new villa complex.
Yet the developer only built a single palatial villa.
This Lake Heart Island had hills and water, almost like a self-contained small world.
“The lives of the rich are truly simple and unadorned.”
Yan Lexian and the others sighed.
As time went by, they did not dare disturb Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui any longer, and took their leave.
Outside, Yan Lexian deliberately gathered everyone, instructing:
“You all, today’s events, especially my brother-in-law Chu Chen’s identity, must not be disclosed.”
He’d misstepped today, but fortunately didn’t provoke his brother-in-law. Instead, he became a loyal underling, definitely profiting.
He decided to bow out of the family feud, choosing to support his cousin Yan Luoshui.
Among the third generation of the Yan family, due to competition, relationships were very delicate.
In the Beijing third generation, Yan Lexian was considered the lower-middle tier, often bullied by his cousins.
This presented a great opportunity.
He was the first to meet his brother-in-law Chu Chen, becoming aware of his terrifying prowess.
But the others didn’t know.
Furthermore, Yan Lexian didn’t want them to know.
Upon meeting Chu Chen, they would certainly target this outsider.
Then, there’d be drama to enjoy.
Let them be arrogant, wait for his brother-in-law to slap them in the face one by one.
After explaining, everyone nodded, assuring they wouldn’t spread the word.
“We won’t talk, but what about Kang Mo?” someone asked.
“Kang Mo definitely won’t speak, this time he embarrassed himself greatly, he’ll surely keep silent.”
Yan Lexian believed Kang Mo wouldn’t publicize such a humiliating event.
Time ticked away. The next day, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui went to meet her parents.
After meeting Chu Chen, both were very pleased.
Just stepping out of the house, Chu Chen and Yan Luoshui encountered several younger family members of the Yan family.
“Wow, is this Luoshui’s boyfriend? So handsome.”
“Such a looker.”
Upon seeing Chu Chen, several of Yan Luoshui’s younger cousins gushed with excitement.
As for the others, they all looked at Chu Chen with curiosity.

“Sister Luoshui, we’re going to the Jinsha Horse Riding Club for some fun. Want to join us?”
“Brother-in-law, what do you think?”
The little cousin wanted to drag Yan Luoshui and Chu Chen along.
“Yeah, let’s all go together.”
“The more, the merrier.”
Others chimed in, hoping to use this opportunity to assess Chu Chen, to see what he was made of.
To avoid any incidents at the upcoming family gathering.
If possible, they intended to give Chu Chen a “friendly” reminder that some matters are best left untouched.
Otherwise, he might regret it for life!
“Alright.”
Chu Chen had no plans. At the little cousin’s earnest plea, he agreed.
Plus, he seemed to have heard someone mention Jinsha Horse Riding Club before, but couldn’t quite recall.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Jinsha Horse Riding Club on the outskirts of Hang City.
