Chapter 1510: 376: Disturbing the ground above Tai Sui! _1 Chapter 1510: 376: Disturbing the ground above Tai Sui! _1 Many migrant girls dream of marrying a local man from Capital City.

Because what Capital City locals abound with, is the rich and wealthy.

Especially those with power and wealth.

Liam Webster never imagined that his old classmate is actually a local from Capital City.

For a moment, he thought he was hearing things.

Eva Webster was also very surprised.

She felt like she missed a golden opportunity.

Liam Webster stared wide-eyed, somewhat unsure, and asked, “Mr. White, are you really from Capital City?”

“Mmhm.” Mr. White nodded slightly.

He really is!

Liam swallowed hard.

Quick on his heels, Eva asked, “Do you hold a Capital City residency permit?”

Being a local and being registered one aren’t the same thing.

Many locals, due to turmoil in their earlier years, no longer held a Capital City residence permit. Even if they were locals, they couldn’t enjoy local privileges without it.

In that sense, they aren’t really different from out-of-towners.

From the looks of Mr. White, he definitely didn’t have the residency permit.

With this thought, Eva squinted her eyes.

Just then, Mr. White continued to nod, “Mmm, Capital City permit.”

He actually has one.

Upon hearing this, Eva scrutinized Mr. White, her eyes full of disbelief.

“Wow!” Liam slapped Mr. White’s shoulder in astonishment, “Never would have guessed, Mr. White, you actually have a Capital City residency permit!”

Liam always thought Mr. White was from some small northern county.

Who would have thought this man, silent as he was, would surprise us this way!

Also, typically, Capital City folks are very high-profile. They drive around in a Mercedes Benz. Nothing like Mr. White who drives an old Volkswagen.

Liam teased, “Mr. White, your family wouldn’t happen to own several Siheyuan compounds right?”

“No.” Mr. White shook his head.

After all, the White family lived in an estate.

They used to own a few Siheyuan compounds before, but Mr. White gifted them to his nephews and nieces.

Snug-fisted as he was, he had a sense of propriety.

Each time one of his nieces or nephews married, he needed to gift something decent. He couldn’t let the bride’s family look down on them.

After all, it was an uncle’s duty to-

Hearing that the White family didn’t own any Siheyuan, disappointment shone in Eva’s eyes.

She looked at Mr. White from head to toe, contempt radiating from her gaze. Eva thought Mr. White was lying.

If Mr. White was really a local, he definitely wouldn’t be driving a Volkswagen, nor would he eat at street side stalls.

Eva knows a lot of people from Capital City.

They lived with such delicacies, drinking Starbucks every day, eating afternoon tea, and dining in Michelin restaurants.

Then there’s Mr. White.

Not a single piece of branded clothing on him. Admittedly, his demeanor is not terrible; but his dress sense… is barely satisfactory.

If Mr. White was as wealthy as he claimed, he definitely wouldn’t dress so poorly.

He was entirely repulsive.

If he didn’t have money, then be upfront about it. What’s the use of boasting?

Let him dig his own hole.

Eva withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Mr. White.

People like him, looking at him one more time would be wasting time.

Liam continued, “Isn’t Siheyuan the typical architectural choice of Capital City? Most locals own one.”

If Mr. White was truly a local, he should at least own a Siheyuan compound.

Mr. White replied, “I used to own a few Siheyuan compounds, but I gave them all away.”

He said it so lightly, but Liam’s eyes widened in surprise, “You gave them away?”

“Mm,” Mr. White nodded.

Eva, watching this, almost burst into laughter.

Her brother surely doesn’t believe what this lowlife is saying.

It was laughable.

He really has to do a better job at lying.

Siheyuan compounds in the Capital City are worth billions! Does Marcus White think they are as cheap as paper?

He said it so lightly! Just give them away!

Liam stared at Marcus, frowning, “Bro, are you joking with me?”

He did have the aura of a mega-rich person.

But the things Marcus did didn’t resemble anything a mega-rich person would do!

What rich person would squeeze on a bus or a subway?

Which rich person would be willing to buy discounted cheap fruit?

Which rich person would wear cheap, unbranded clothes from street vendors!

But Marcus had done all these things.

If Marcus was really generous enough to give away Siheyuan compounds in Capital City, he wouldn’t be so stingy!

Marcus looked at Liam, confused, “Why would I joke with you?”

Even though his nieces and nephews didn’t quite believe him when he gifted them the Siheyuan compounds, that was the truth.

Liam squinted, “Did you really give away all the Siheyuan compounds?”
