Chapter 6 - The Mafia King Becomes The Next-door Neighbor!
Lihua couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them many times to check if it was an illusion but Wei still stood in front of her like an undeniable reality.
The CEO of Jiang Industries is here? No, no, no. There has to be a misunderstanding.
"B-Boss. Did to forget something that we needed to talk about."
Though Lihua herself couldn't believe that to be the reason for him to personally come here. Otherwise, what use did the phones have?
"No."
"Ah...then is it about the b-bill?"
Maybe he is really angry that I made him pay the bill?
Lihua looked at with the most pitiful eyes she could gather. "Boss, are you angry because of the bill?"
"No."
"..."
Mrs. Zhang couldn't understand what was going on at all. Suddenly, this handsome man appeared out of nowhere and Lihua was calling him her Boss. And she didn't get why Lihua wasn't directly just asking him!
She sighed and looked at him but realized that she literally had to crane her neck.
For the first time, Mrs. Zhang felt too conscious of her height.
Am I too short? Or is he just ridiculously tall?
She smiled. "Hello, dear. Nice to meet you. I am Lihua's neighbor, Mrs. Zhang. Are you the new tenant moving beside Lihua's apartment?"
Wei simply responded with one word. "Yes."
Lihua's brain exploded.
So Godly handsome prince is really moving here?
Mrs. Zhang nodded. "Oh, I see. That's wonderful. Welcome, welcome."
Lihua snapped out of her silly stupor. "What 'I see'? What 'that's wonderful'? What 'welcome, welcome'? There is a big misunderstanding here!"
Mrs. Zhang frowned. "What misunderstanding? Can't you see him moving his stuff inside?"
Lihua wanted to faint. She looked back at Wei in disbelief. "Boss, I think you got the wrong address. Sunshine Meadows is still far from here."
Sunshine Meadows was a high-class and posh area where rich people lived in their personal condos. All elites and wealthy people stayed there.
So, Lihua thought that maybe Wei mistakenly got the wrong address.
She nodded at her intelligence.
Hah! I knew it. This is the only plausible explanation.
Wei plainly said, "I have a condo there."
Mrs. Zhang was aghast and almost collapsed. "What!? A condo at least costs a million dollars there. Son, Lihua is right. You really got the wrong address."
Although she wondered how could anybody mistake this normal residential area as something even remotely close to Sunshine Meadows. There was a difference akin to heaven and earth.
Wei said, "I don't live there anymore. Now, I live here."
"..."
"..."
Why!?
Mrs. Zhang was close to getting a heart attack.
Lihua trembled. "Boss. How could you leave your awesome condo at the Sunshine Meadows and come...here?"
Wei was silent. He impassively stared at her for a long time.
"I don't know."
Lihua blinked her eyes.
What kind of answer is that? Don't people usually know why they move out?
"Is there some repair work going on?"
"No."
"Did your house get burnt by the fire?"
"No."
"Did it get drowned by the water?"
"No."
"Did an earthquake crumble it into pieces?"
"No."
"Did anybody get murdered there and so it is under police custody?"
"No."
"Is your house haunted?"
"No."
"Then, boss why did you come to live here?"
"I don't know. I felt like it. I don't know why."
Lihua found it increasingly difficult to understand this man.
My Godly handsome prince is really one strange man indeed. Maybe rich CEOs have some weird quirks in them.
But, it's true! My impossible dream became true! Forget about the reason. I can see him every day now! My Godly handsome prince will be my next-door neighbor! Thank you, God!
Mrs. Zhang could clearly see the imaginary flowers blooming around her.
"Lihua. Enough with your questions. Let the young man shift all his things inside and settle down."
Oops.
Lihua raised her hand. "Boss! Since we are going to be neighbors, don't hesitate to ask me for any help. I will show you around the area and the best places to buy lots of stuff."
Wei stared at her brightened face and the million-dollar smile on her lips. For the first time, he couldn't understand his own thoughts.
"Hm."
---
After all the stuff was moved at lighting speed, Wei sat down on his couch. His phone buzzed with a call.
"Boss!" Fu Renshu's crying voice came from the other side. "Boss, we have time. How about we move back the stuff to Sunshine Meadows?"
Fu Renshu got the shock of his life when Wei suddenly told him to buy a house in the apartment where Lihua lived. Specifically, the house beside Lihua's.
"B-Boss, why buy a house there?"
Wei glanced at him. "To live there."
It was as if a thunderbolt struck him and burned him into a crisp.
"Boss, you live at Sunshine Meadows."
"I don't want to live there anymore."
Fu Renshu was aghast. "Boss, what are you saying? Song Lihua lives in just a normal apartment complex for middle-class residents. You are the CEO of Jiang Industries."
Wei frowned. "I can afford a house there."
"..."
That's not even the point! You can afford a hundred such apartment complexes and even more!
"Boss, how can you live there? They are practically peasants in front of you."
"So?"
At least you don't deny that they are peasants, he nodded in appreciation.
"Why do you want to live there? You have such a lovely condo. Life in such meager homes is too difficult. How can you live in a small and cheap house? If you are bored of Sunshine Meadows, I will look for a better home, even more superior to Sunshine Meadows!"
Wei pursed his lips. "I want to live where she does."
Fu Renshu was dumbfounded.
"Boss, you just met Song Lihua today. Why do you want to suddenly live at her apartment?"
Wei stared at his assistant and he couldn't come up with an answer.
"I don't know."
