81: Am I a kept man? Is this a clarification or solid evidence?

"Wow..." The scene erupted in an uproar!

Everyone was stunned speechless!

Was this a gift, or showing off wealth?

For a simple housewarming... was it necessary to go this big?

Hundreds of thousands at the drop of a hat.

What kind of friends, with how strong a relationship... would be willing to give that?

Bai Yuyan gave a wry smile.

She had been too stingy.

She was usually busy with work and didn't have a secretary or assistant to handle various matters.

She could only keep it simple and give a red envelope.

She hadn't expected it.

These two rich women went straight for the big moves.

If she had known, Bai Yuyan would have slipped in a million.

Even if she couldn't compete, she shouldn't lose face!

Chen Yang was also a little bewildered!

"What... are you all doing?"

"If you make it this big, won't I go bankrupt when I have to repay the favor?"

Han Feixue laughed.

"Boss Chen, stop pretending to be poor!"

"Everyone knows you make money faster than a high-speed train!"

Chen Yang gladly accepted.

Not accepting a gift—wasn't that foolish?

As for how to repay the debt of gratitude, he would take it one step at a time!

If he had money, he would repay more; if he didn't, he would repay less.

He wasn't chasing false reputation; it was better to be honest.

At this moment, Chen Zhongshi and Yang Aihua felt as if they were floating on clouds.

They felt soft clouds beneath their feet, making the experience feel unreal.

In less than ten minutes, their son had received gifts worth over a million?

What kind of friends were these?

Just then, enthusiastic welcoming shouts came from outside the door.

"Welcome Student Xu Wenqing, here as a guest!"

"Welcome Student Liu Changhe and his girlfriend, here as guests!"

Chen Yang immediately ran out.

He warmly embraced Xu Wenqing and Liu Changhe.

"My good brothers, I'm so happy you could make it!"

Liu Changhe quickly introduced the woman beside him to Chen Yang.

"Yang Zi, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu, this is my old classmate, Chen Yang. Just call him Brother Yang."

The girl was tall, long-legged, and delicate.

She looked sharp and capable.

Judging by appearances, she was more than adequate for Liu Changhe.

"Hello, Brother Yang! Congratulations on your housewarming, may it bring great fortune!"

Chen Yang smiled.

"Thank you, thank you! Come inside quickly and have some tea!"

Chen Yang led the three of them, preparing to go inside.

Xiao Yu was sharp-eyed.

She noticed a gift registry table nearby, specifically for recording monetary gifts.

She quickly nudged Liu Changhe with her elbow.

Liu Changhe laughed and said, "Yang Zi, wait a moment!"

"Congratulations can't just be verbal. I prepared a big red envelope."

As he spoke, he took a thick red envelope out of Xiao Yu's shoulder bag and walked toward the registry table.

A flash of reluctance crossed Xiao Yu's eyes.

Both of them had modest financial situations.

Liu Changhe worked on a construction site.

Xiao Yu worked in a factory.

Their combined monthly salary was only twelve thousand.

After deducting rent, utilities, living expenses, and various daily costs, there wasn't much left.

Yet, for an old classmate's move, Liu Changhe actually wanted to give a heavy gift of ten thousand.

Xiao Yu absolutely refused.

In the end, they both compromised: eight thousand yuan.

Liu Changhe was not very satisfied, and Xiao Yu was full of unwillingness.

To be honest.

Xiao Yu didn't quite understand, nor did she care for, the so-called classmate and brotherhood ties between Liu Changhe and Chen Yang.

From Liu Changhe's mouth, Xiao Yu knew that...

Although this villa belonged to Chen Yang, he hadn't inquired about it from start to finish.

All matters were handled by Liu Changhe's company's general manager, Feng Danqing.

For a project originally worth 2 million, President Feng only charged 1.2 million.

That wasn't even enough to cover the costs.

What did this indicate?

All signs pointed to Chen Yang being a kept man, having latched onto President Feng's thigh.

As for the villa?

She didn't know if President Feng had given it to him, or if Chen Yang had tricked it out of another rich woman.

It clearly looked lived in.

Whether the property rights were even his was questionable.

Now that she saw him in person, Xiao Yu was even more certain.

Because Chen Yang was indeed good-looking.

Young, handsome, strong, and with good temperament.

Assets like that were enough to charm a large number of lonely, wealthy women!

That idiot Liu Changhe was actually spending so much money on a kept man.

Of course, Xiao Yu was unhappy.

If the money were being spent on President Feng, she would be 120% willing.

At this moment, Xu Wenqing also smiled apologetically.

He took out a relatively thinner red envelope.

"Yang Zi, just a small token, it's a bit meager, don't mind it!"

Both men walked toward the registry table.

Chen Yang quickly stopped them.

"Da Liu, Wenqing, given our relationship, let's skip the formalities."

"I'm happy enough that you came today. As for the red envelopes..."

"You should take them back. Your presence is enough!"

Xiao Yu was secretly delighted.

Chen Yang was at least sensible.

Eight thousand yuan!

If they saved it, how many good things could they buy?

She was about to marry Liu Changhe, and they needed money for many things.

Unfortunately, Liu Changhe and Xu Wenqing disagreed.

"You must accept this red envelope!"

"That's right, if you don't accept it, you're looking down on your brothers for giving too little!"

"In that case, we'll leave immediately without another word!"

Their attitude was very firm.

Chen Yang had no choice but to let them proceed.

Liu Changhe was the first to walk up to the registry table.

He grandly slammed the red envelope onto the table.

"Miss, please register: Liu Changhe, 8,000 yuan!"

The etiquette lady smiled sweetly.

She announced loudly:

"Mr. Liu Changhe, accompanied by Miss Xiao Yu, congratulates: Happy Housewarming!"

"Monetary Gift: 8,000 yuan."

This announcement immediately drew the attention of the entire venue.

Liu Changhe was slightly surprised but accepted the attention calmly.

Xiao Yu, meanwhile, was triumphant.

Eight thousand yuan!

Wasn't that surprising?

Unexpected?

It must be the highest amount here, right?

Sure enough, when it came to Xu Wenqing, he gently placed down a red envelope.

"Excuse me, Xu Wenqing, 2,000 yuan."

The etiquette lady still smiled sweetly.

"Mr. Xu Wenqing congratulates: Great Fortune on Moving!"

"Monetary Gift: 2,000 yuan."

Xu Wenqing felt a bit ashamed.

Xiao Yu, however, grew even more proud, beaming with energy!

There was no harm without comparison.

Truthfully, 2,000 wasn't a small sum, but compared to 8,000, it fell far short!

Just then, Liu Changhe noticed that several entries had already been recorded in the register.

Taking a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Two hundred thousand?"

Xiao Yu thought she had misheard.

"Changhe, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Giving a gift, and someone gave 200,000?"

"Why don't you just say a million?"

The moment she finished speaking, Xu Wenqing also leaned over and peered closely.

He read out two even more astonishing figures.

"Six hundred and sixty thousand?"

"Eight hundred and eighty thousand?"

Heavens!

I must be seeing things, right?

Xiao Yu was even more incredulous.

She rushed over to examine the entries carefully.

She thought:

Could Chen Yang be pulling a trick?

No wonder he could trick rich women.

His methods... were utterly unscrupulous!

Faking the gift list just to save face?

Giving a gift of 880,000?

This was utterly ridiculous!

Who would believe it?

Just then, enthusiastic welcoming shouts came from the door again.

"Welcome Miss Lilac, here as a guest!"

Chen Yang hurried to meet her.

"Lilac, you arrived quite early!"

Lilac was wearing a classical palace-style dress suit, looking especially noble and elegant.

One look told you she was a wealthy heiress.

"Did I?"

"I was worried I was too late! I rushed all the way here."

As she spoke, she signaled her assistant to retrieve an exquisite gift box from the car.

She placed it on the registry table and slowly opened the wrapping.

A gleaming golden God of Wealth radiated golden light under the sun!

Simultaneously, she handed over a greeting card.

The etiquette lady respectfully took it and read it out loud.

"Lilac wishes Chen Yang: Great Fortune on Moving, good luck, and great wealth!"

"Gift: One pure gold God of Wealth, total value 1 million."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

All eyes were focused on the dazzling God of Wealth.

Chen Zhongshi and Yang Aihua simultaneously pinched each other.

"Old man, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Yang Zi's mother, does it hurt?"

All the staff on site were stunned!

They hadn't expected that besides their own two general managers, Mr. Chen Yang had such a wealthy friend!

With one move, it was a pure gold God of Wealth, valued at 1 million!

With this great deity, if you tried not to get rich... could the venerable God of Wealth agree to that?

Liu Changhe and Xu Wenqing were already numb.

They couldn't help but sigh, "Chen Yang is truly incomparable to his past self!"

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded!

She stared blankly at the pure gold God of Wealth.

Motionless.

"Someone... actually gave... 1 million?"
