Chapter 533: Chapter 533 Tian Hongyi’s Provocation

Ten minutes later, Han Jingting and Han Bowwen arrived at the new villa with Chen Xuan.

Gazing at the spectacular and luxurious villa before him, Han Bowwen was so excited that he was nearly in tears.

For him, everything in front of him felt like a dream!

All the houses in Yuanheng Huating came fully furnished, ready for immediate move-in.

Upon opening the front door, the first thing that caught the eye was the upscale living room, highlighted by a massive crystal chandelier above, worth at least ten thousand!

Han Bowwen opened the doors of several other rooms and found that the decor in each was extremely luxurious; his eyes shone with excitement.

"How is it, Dad? Are you satisfied with this house?" asked Chen Xuan.

Han Bowwen nodded repeatedly, "Satisfied! I’m truly very satisfied! Chen Xuan, you and Jingting have really put in a lot of effort this time!"

But Han Jingting’s expression remained cool, "We really had no choice but to put in effort. You’ve made all those grand statements; how could we possibly let you lose face by not following through?"

Han Jingting’s voice was clearly filled with resentment, evidently still upset about Han Bowwen having earlier boasted about buying a villa just to put on a show.

Han Bowwen knew he was in the wrong and quickly tried to appease her with a smile, "Jingting, I know I was wrong, it indeed was my fault this time."

"But you also know, Tian Hongyi was your dad’s old rival in love. If I lost face in front of him, I would never be able to hold my head up again!"

Han Jingting replied helplessly, "Dad, why do you always do this? Just for the sake of pride, do you really have to put on a false front and act rich?"

"That’s 30 million! Have you ever considered whether I can afford that much money?"

"And have you thought about it, if I really couldn’t come up with that much, wouldn’t your boasting, if unfulfilled, make things even more embarrassing for you?!"

"I... I..." Han Bowwen dared not speak.

Chen Xuan quickly tried to mediate, "All right Jingting, Dad was just impulsive at the time and didn’t think things through. Don’t be angry at him, please."

"Yes, exactly, it was just a moment of impulsiveness..." Han Bowwen hastily agreed.

"Besides, I’m nearly sixty now; I won’t live many more years. When I’m gone, this house will still belong to you and Chen Xuan, right?"

"Consider this villa an investment, okay? Don’t be mad at me anymore, can you do that, Jingting?"

Han Bowwen’s face was filled with a look of distress, and with his graying hair, he appeared genuinely pitiable.

Han Jingting had always been a soft-hearted person despite her sharp tongue. Hearing Han Bowwen’s words, a wave of sorrow washed over her.

"Forget it. It’s already bought, and there’s no point in talking about it now."

"But just this once. If you try to pressure me like this again, don’t blame me if I really do let you down!"

Han Bowwen’s face lit up with joy as he nodded eagerly, "Don’t worry Jingting, I promise there won’t be a next time!"

Han Jingting sighed; there was just no way to rely on her unpredictable father.

"Dad, I’ve bought the house for you, so you have a place to live now. But what are you and mom planning to do next?"

Han Bowwen was full of confidence, "Don’t worry. Before, I had no idea what to do, but now with this house, and the million that Tian Bin’s son compensated, I guarantee I can make mom change her mind!"

Han Bowwen knew Ding Lijuan’s character all too well.

Ding Lijuan had always dreamed of living the life of a wealthy wife, driving luxury cars, living in mansions, and never worrying about food or clothes.

Han Bowwen now had the full capacity to offer Ding Lijuan the life she wanted, so he was very confident that as long as Ding Lijuan knew how well he was doing now, she would surely change her mind and remarry him!

Han Bowwen had planned it out, after tidying up the place today, he would go and show off to Ding Lijuan first thing tomorrow morning.

That very afternoon, while Tian Hongyi was shopping at the supermarket, he ran into Ding Lijuan by chance.

"Lijuan, what a coincidence to run into you here!"

Surprised to see Tian Hongyi, Ding Lijuan responded, "Old Tian, it’s been years since we’ve seen each other, hasn’t it? How are you doing? Where are you making your fortune now?"

Tian Hongyi gave a wry smile, "At this age, what fortune can I still make? But I’m living alright; after all, my son’s company is now worth several hundred million yuan."

Ding Lijuan’s eyes lit up, "Wow, your family must be quite impressive, I bet you live very comfortably!"

Tian Hongyi, "No matter how well I live, I can’t compare to your family. You people are living in villas now."

"Villa? What villa?" Ding Lijuan was completely baffled.

"Enough with the pretense. Just today, your daughter spent thirty million yuan at Yuanheng Huating on a villa for Old Han. I saw it with my own eyes, and I refuse to believe you didn’t know!"

"Thirty million? A villa?!" Ding Lijuan was astonished, "Is that true or are you joking?!"

"What, you really didn’t know? It seems Old Han has been quite unfair, moving into a new villa and not even telling you about it!"

Tian Hongyi took the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Ding Lijuan, not caring about those details anymore, hurriedly asked Tian Hongyi to recount the whole story in detail.

But Tian Hongyi was no simpleton. With such a golden chance to stir the pot, he wasn’t going to let it slip away.

He deliberately omitted the part about Dong Jianke standing up for Chen Xuan, and then exaggerated the one million yuan that Tian Bin had lost, swapping roles in the story.

"I say, your daughter is truly filial to Old Han. Not only did she buy a thirty-million-yuan villa for Old Han but before she left, she also gave him a bank card with five million yuan in cash, for him to spend as pocket money!"

Indeed, upon hearing this, Ding Lijuan was beside herself with excitement, "Five million? Pocket money?!"

Ding Lijuan was both shocked and furious.

You see, when she had previously asked Han Jingting for money, Han Jingting always came up with various excuses to decline, saying she couldn’t give them too much money all at once for fear they would squander it.

But now, immediately after she divorced Han Bowwen, Han Jingting bought a luxury villa for him and even gave him five million yuan in pocket money.

What was this all about?

This was effectively treating her own mother like an outsider!

Tian Hongyi could see what was going through Ding Lijuan’s mind and took the chance to sow further discord: "Lijuan, I don’t mean to gossip but, your daughter isn’t handling things right. She buys a villa only for Old Han, and doesn’t look after her own mother! What kind of daughter does that?!"

"And Old Han, he really isn’t worth a thing."

"Moreover, I think they might be hiding these things from you for a reason. Could it be that they want to find a new lady for the house without you knowing?"

"What other motives?" Ding Lijuan was puzzled.

Tian Hongyi lowered his voice, "Do I even need to say it? Both Old Han and your daughter look down on you, and now that Old Han has a mansion and money, aren’t they probably planning to bring in a new mistress for their home behind your back?"
