Chapter 529: Chapter 529: Just Say You Can’t Afford It

"Tian Hongyi?!" Han Bowwen saw Tian Hongyi and was also taken aback, his face clearly turning unsightly.

"Dad, you know each other?" Tian Bin was slightly surprised.

Tian Hongyi nodded, "Yeah, we are old acquaintances indeed. Let me tell you, your Uncle Han here is no simple man, he’s from the Han Corporation of the Han Family!"

"Han Corporation?" Tian Bin was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, back in the day, your Uncle Tian would constantly brag in front of me, claiming he was going to be the president of Han Corporation in the future, and that I couldn’t compare to him, advising me to know my place!"

"Decades have passed, and my decorating company is now worth over a hundred million at the very least."

"What about you, Old Han? Your dad has been dead for several years. So, have you become the president or not? Hahaha..."

The smile on Tian Hongyi’s face was full of mockery, clearly aware of Han Bowwen’s downfall and deliberately humiliating him here.

Tian Bin laughed derisively, "And here I thought you were someone formidable. You’re just an old fool who only knows how to shoot the breeze!"

"With the state you’re in, you dare say you’re better than my dad? Do you even qualify!"

Han Bowwen’s face alternated between shades of green and white with anger, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Tian Hongyi, those are matters from decades ago. What’s the point in holding onto them now!"

Tian Hongyi snorted coldly, "Indeed, there’s no point. Let’s talk about the here and now, shall we?"

"This house, my son made some little money and wanted to honor me with it. You should probably stop competing with me for it."

"As I know, your old man left you nothing when he passed. You’re here trying to stir up excitement for nothing!"

Han Bowwen immediately showed displeasure, "What do you mean ’stirring up excitement’? This house is also a gift from my daughter and son-in-law to me."

"And besides, we were the first to set our eyes on this house, so of course, it should be given to me!"

The two of them had once fought bitterly over Ding Lijuan, and now this apartment had become a tool for each to gain face for themselves, neither willing to give in.

Tian Bin was getting impatient, looking at Han Bowwen, "Old man, I think you can stop pretending. I saw everything when you were booking the room just now."

"It seems your daughter wasn’t very willing to buy this house for you, more like you tricked them into coming here, forcing them to buy it for you?"

Tian Bin’s remark struck right at Han Bowwen’s vulnerable spot.

Han Bowwen was overwhelmed with humiliation, "You... you’re talking nonsense! Who told you they’re unwilling? Let me tell you, my daughter and son-in-law treat me very well!"

Tian Hongyi waved his hand dismissively, "Fine, even if they are willing, what of it? Paying filial respect nowadays isn’t something they can fulfill just because they wish to."

"Do you know how expensive these apartments are here? Even the cheapest one would cost several million!"

"I’ve long been aware of your situation; over the years, you haven’t even entered the management ranks of Han Corporation, living day to day on that meager dividend. Lijuan has also suffered a lot with you!"

"With your family’s situation, you still have the gall to let your daughter buy such an expensive apartment for you, and expect them to pay such a high monthly mortgage for you, do you have no shame!"

Han Bowwen, breathing heavily with anger, retorted, "You... it’s you who should be ashamed!"

"Who told you we are getting a mortgage? Let me tell you, my daughter is paying in full!"

"In full! Understand?!"

Tian Hongyi scoffed, "What’s so great about paying in full! We’re paying in full as well!"

The two old gentlemens, competing over an apartment and things to do with their children, ended up comparing themselves publicly at the sales office.

After all, it was all for their own pride!

Han Jingting and Chen Xuan exchanged glances at the side, to be honest, they were utterly unable to comprehend the elderly’s mindset of competitive comparison.

Especially Han Jingting, she had heard the name Tian Hongyi more than once from her mother, Ding Lijuan.

Every time they argued, Ding Lijuan would always say that she should have married Tian Hongyi in the first place.

Now that her own father was arguing and competing with Tian Hongyi, it was obviously tied to the grudges of the past.

In Han Jingting’s view, this was completely unnecessary.

At that moment, Tian Bin directly addressed Han Bowwen, "All right, you don’t need to waste your time here with us."

"Just so you know, I’m acquainted with the developer of Yuanheng Huating, and I’m going to call him right now to have him sell this apartment to me!"

With that, Tian Bin went aside to make a phone call.

A moment later, Tian Bin handed his mobile phone to the saleswoman.

"Here, your Chairman wants to speak to you!"

The saleswoman looked panicked and hurriedly took the phone.

"Hello, Chairman. Okay, I understand. I’ll help them with it right now!"

After hanging up, the saleswoman looked apologetically at Han Bowwen, "Old sir, I’m sorry, but this apartment can only be sold to this gentleman now..."

Han Bowwen was naturally unwilling, "Why is that! We were here first, why should we give it to them!"

The saleswoman looked troubled, "This... this is an order from our boss, I really can’t do anything about it..."

Han Bowwen couldn’t save face and was so angry that he stamped his foot, "What do you mean, you can’t do anything! Where is your boss? Get your boss here, I need to have a serious word with him!"

"This..." The saleswoman was at a loss for words.

Tian Hongyi looked smug, "Old Han, you’re being unreasonable. The young lady here is just an employee, giving her a hard time doesn’t solve anything."

"The big boss of Yuanheng Huating is a real big shot, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can meet with him!"

"It’s probably because my son has some ability that he could even get the big boss of Yuanheng Huating to give us face! Hahahaha..."

Snatching the apartment from Han Bowwen made Tian Hongyi exceedingly proud.

Tian Bin wore a mocking smile, "Okay, Dad, stop wasting time with them. Let’s hurry up and go through the purchase procedure!"

"Alright, Old Han, I won’t keep you company then, hahahaha..."

Saying so, Tian Hongyi was ready to leave with Tian Bin.

Han Bowwen trembled with rage, unable to vent his fury.

In the end, Han Bowwen seemed to suddenly make up his mind about something, deliberately raising his voice, "Forget it, that broken top-floor apartment, if you want to buy it, go ahead."

"The floor is so high, if there’s a power outage you have to climb the stairs, and over time it also leaks."

"I didn’t really want that broken apartment in the first place. Since you want it so badly, I’ll let you have it!"

Upon hearing these words, Tian Hongyi immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around with an unhappy face.

"Old Han, what are you pretending for? If you can’t afford it, just say it!"

"In this entire complex, besides this special-priced apartment, can you afford any other apartments?"

Han Bowwen snorted coldly, "The one who can only afford special-priced apartments and can’t afford others is you!"

With that, Han Bowwen turned to Han Jingting, "Jingting, you were right just now, living in this small high-rise really isn’t comfortable. Let’s follow your advice and buy a villa instead!"
