72: Chapter 72 The Chu Sisters

Meanwhile, Xing Zhenkun was leisurely driving his luxurious rolls-royce cullinan, slowly heading towards the Shenjiangwan Community.

In the passenger seat sat a woman of exquisite beauty and graceful stature, but her cold temperament and the inadvertent arrogance in her eyes made her seem difficult to approach.

Before coming, Xing Zhenkun had already contacted the property manager, Bai Lu. Upon reaching the garage entrance, he stated the unit number, and the security guard immediately raised the barrier and quickly notified Bai Lu.

Upon learning that the owner of Unit 1701 in Building 7 had arrived, Bai Lu immediately took the bunch of keys from her drawer and hurried towards the garage.

There was a hint of urgency in her steps, clearly showing how much she valued this owner. Of course, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Qin had specifically given instructions regarding Unit 1701, Bai Lu wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.

From a distance, Bai Lu saw the rolls-royce cullinan. She quickened her pace, and while still several meters away, she reached out her hand and said with a smile to Xing Zhenkun, who had already gotten out of the car, "Hello, you must be Mr. Xing? I am the manager of the community property, my name is Bai Lu. It is a pleasure to serve you."

Xing Zhenkun reached out to shake her hand, quietly sizing her up. A playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth as he thought to himself: This Manager Bai is quite a beauty with an extraordinary temperament. However, he politely said in a gentlemanly manner, "Hello, Manager Bai. I am Xing Zhenkun. I'm sorry to disturb you on the weekend."

"Mr. Xing is too polite. It's my duty, no trouble at all," Bai Lu responded warmly, a professional glint flashing in her eyes.

As the two were talking, the passenger door of the rolls-royce cullinan slowly opened.

Xing Zhenkun immediately stepped forward attentively to hold the door. Then, the stunning beauty gracefully stepped out of the car. Her movements were light and composed, as if every step had been carefully choreographed.

Xing Zhenkun eagerly introduced her, "Mu Yun, let me introduce you. This is Manager Bai Lu, the property manager of Shenjiangwan Community. If you need anything in the future, you can look for her."

Hearing this, Bai Lu immediately realized that this beauty was the true owner of Unit 1701. She immediately smiled and reached out her hand, preparing to greet the cold beauty.

However, the beauty only gave a cold smile and did not give her the chance to shake hands, merely nodding slightly as a greeting.

Then, the beauty said in a cold voice, "There's no need for pleasantries. Manager Bai, I'm in a hurry, let's get down to business first!"

Seeing this, Xing Zhenkun gave an awkward smile and looked at Bai Lu with a hint of helplessness and compromise, clearly unable to do anything about the beauty's arrogant attitude. "Manager Bai, let's go see the apartment first!"

"Alright, Young Miss Mu, Mr. Xing, this way please..." Bai Lu said, bowing slightly as she led the way. Although she felt a bit awkward, she didn't show it at all, maintaining her professional smile.

Unexpectedly, the beauty spoke up to correct her: "Sorry, my surname is Chu, not Mu. My name is Chu Muyun." Her voice was still cold, but her tone revealed a bit of displeasure.

Bai Lu turned back with an awkward smile, thinking to herself: Damn it, if you don't say anything, how am I supposed to know what your surname is...

Even though a thousand alpacas were stampeding through her mind, she didn't show it. She just respectfully apologized, "Oh, I am truly sorry. Young Miss Chu, Mr. Xing, this way please..." With that, she bowed again and led them toward Building 7.

Before long, the three of them entered Building 7 and stepped into the elevator. Bai Lu swiped the access card and pressed the button for the 17th floor. The elevator doors slowly closed, their blurred figures reflected in the metal panels.

In the elevator, Xing Zhenkun asked with a bit of gossipy curiosity, his eyes flickering with a playful smile, "Manager Bai, does Young Master Qin live on the top floor?"

"Yes, Mr. Xing," Bai Lu replied with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of professional politeness and distance. After all, she didn't know the relationship between Xing Zhenkun and Mr. Qin, so she couldn't say too much.

"Is anyone home right now?" Xing Zhenkun continued to press.

Bai Lu shook her head with a smile, while secretly speculating on the relationship between Xing Zhenkun and Mr. Qin. She explained in a calm tone, "Mr. Qin left the Magic City yesterday, and his girlfriend went to move house early this morning, so she shouldn't be there either."

"Oh? Xu Qian plans to move in and live with Young Master Qin?" A playful look appeared in Xing Zhenkun's eyes. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly finding this very interesting.

Bai Lu didn't expect Mr. Xing to even know the name of Mr. Qin's girlfriend. Her heart stirred, thinking that this man's relationship with Mr. Qin must be unusual.

Immediately, she had nothing to hide and explained, "Yes, Mr. Qin has already given the east unit on the 32nd floor to Miss Xu. Miss Xu will be moving in today."

Xing Zhenkun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but was secretly shocked: Young Master Qin is quite generous. That apartment must be worth over a hundred million. Xu Qian has really turned from a sparrow into a Phoenix this time.

Soon, the elevator doors opened, and the three of them stepped out. When they reached the door of 1701, Bai Lu had originally thought about letting Young Miss Chu Muyun open the door, but remembering her arrogant attitude just now, she didn't ask and directly inserted the key into the lock.

She turned the key and opened the door. After stepping aside to let the two in, she put on shoe covers and followed them inside.

Bai Lu followed behind them and began to introduce the apartment: "Mr. Xing, Young Miss Chu, this Unit 1701 is a 248-square-meter layout with 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 3 bathrooms. The rooms are delivered fully renovated, and the kitchen, bathroom, and restroom appliances are all complete. You only need to buy some furniture to move in."

Xing Zhenkun nodded and said, "Yes, I've looked into it before. I was about to sign the contract, but I didn't expect Young Master Qin to beat me to it and buy the whole building..."

"Haha, really? That's quite a coincidence. Are you well-acquainted with Young Master Qin, Mr. Xing?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

Xing Zhenkun smiled and nodded, "Yeah, pretty much. The cars Young Master Qin has parked in the garage were bought from my dealership, and his girlfriend is also an employee of mine."

Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. So Xu Qian used to sell cars...

Does that mean Mr. Qin and Xu Qian met because of a car purchase? Love at first sight? And then Mr. Qin bought so many cars? She speculated to herself, finding the story incredibly romantic.

After a pause, Bai Lu continued with a hint of envy and emotion, "Uh, that really is quite a fate..."

Chu Muyun walked through each room, then slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. Looking at the Shenjiang Bay Bridge, she nodded with satisfaction.

Xing Zhenkun stepped forward and said, "How is it? Do you like it? Just as you requested, the area is neither too big nor too small, with a great view where you can see Shenjiang Bay directly."

"Yeah, it's okay, just so-so," Chu Muyun said, her gaze shifting to Bai Lu. She continued, "I didn't see many people on the way here. What's the occupancy rate of this community and this building?"

Hearing this, Bai Lu looked at Xing Zhenkun. Xing Zhenkun stepped forward with a smile to explain, "Mu Yun, actually, this entire building belongs to Young Master Qin. Currently, only Young Master Qin and his girlfriend Xu Qian live here. It's very quiet."

Bai Lu also chimed in, "Yes, Young Miss Chu, you don't need to worry about that. Those who move into our community are all high-net-worth individuals with good manners. Moreover, our community has excellent soundproofing. On this 17th floor, there are only two units per section, separated by an elevator, so you usually won't hear any noise. Besides, from the 18th floor and above, only Mr. Qin and his girlfriend are currently living there."

"What about downstairs?" Chu Muyun's voice was still cold, but her tone revealed a hint of subtle curiosity.

Bai Lu patiently explained, "Mr. Qin has also entrusted the floors below the 18th to our property management for rental and sale. We've only just posted the listing information, and they haven't been officially rented or sold yet."

Hearing this, Xing Zhenkun suddenly became interested. With a hint of a joke and teasing in his voice, clearly testing Chu Muyun's reaction, he said, "Manager Bai, what's the price for 1702 now? Mu Yun, how about I buy another unit so we can live across from each other?"

Chu Muyun gave Xing Zhenkun a dirty look and warned, "If you live across from me, I won't want this apartment anymore!"

"Haha, just a joke..." Xing Zhenkun said, catching Bai Lu's eye when Chu Muyun wasn't looking and giving her a wink, signaling her to talk more later. Then, he continued to ask, "So, this one is okay, right?"

Chu Muyun nodded and replied, "Fine. This one it is."

"Alright, Young Miss Chu, here are the keys to the apartment. Mr. Qin has instructed that the transfer procedures for Unit 1701 will be handled entirely by our property management company. When Mr. Qin returns from his hometown, I will notify you. Would it be convenient for you to leave a phone number or add me on WeChat?" Bai Lu asked with a professional smile.

Chu Muyun shrugged and said, "Sorry, I just returned from abroad today and haven't had time to get a phone number yet. My WeChat is also a foreign account. I'll take your number first, and after I get a new SIM card, I'll add you."

"That works too." Then, Bai Lu took out her business card and respectfully handed it to Chu Muyun.

Taking advantage of the moment while seeing Bai Lu out, Xing Zhenkun pointed to 1702 across the hall and made a phone-calling gesture to Bai Lu. Bai Lu nodded understandingly and gave an "OK" gesture before Xing Zhenkun closed the door.

Xing Zhenkun paced over to Chu Muyun's side, intending to casually put his hand on her shoulder, but unexpectedly, Chu Muyun nimbly raised her hand to block him. Her voice was cold as ice, carrying an inviolable warning: "Xing Zhenkun, show some respect. Our relationship hasn't reached the point where you can touch me as you please!"

Xing Zhenkun's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air. Then he gave a sheepish smile and put his hands behind his back, trying to ease the sudden awkward atmosphere. "Haha, Mu Yun, we haven't seen each other for so long, why are you still so distant? Is there a need for us to be so estranged?"

Chu Muyun's expression remained cold as she responded mercilessly, "Cut it out! I only agreed to come back to help you run the Flying Dragon Supercar Club, but that doesn't mean I've become your girlfriend! Don't think that giving me an apartment will make me change my mind!"

Hearing this, Xing Zhenkun laughed, trying to dispel Chu Muyun's concerns. "Hahaha, Mu Yun, you're overthinking it. This apartment is just a welcome gift from me, nothing more. Alright, it's still early, why don't I accompany you to look at some furniture? And help you get a SIM card while we're at it?"

Chu Muyun refused without hesitation, "No need, my sister will be coming to pick me up later. As for you, just go back to wherever you came from!"

Hearing this, a hint of curiosity and surprise flashed in Xing Zhenkun's eyes. "Your sister? Since when did you have a sister? Why didn't I know?"

Chu Muyun replied briefly, "A cousin, my second uncle's child."

A hint of doubt flashed in Xing Zhenkun's eyes as he asked tentatively, "Your second uncle? Chu Weiguo? Chu Weiguo's daughter?"

Chu Muyun's brow furrowed, clearly displeased that Xing Zhenkun had called her second uncle by his full name. "Hey, is my second uncle's name something you can just blurt out?"

Xing Zhenkun quickly apologized, "Oh, sorry. Your cousin, wouldn't that be the Second Miss of the Chutian Group?"

Chu Muyun nodded, her tone carrying a hint of warning, "Yes, that's right. What's wrong? Don't tell me you're having some wicked thoughts about her too?"

Xing Zhenkun waved his hands repeatedly, indicating he wouldn't dare. "I wouldn't dare... The Second Miss of the Chutian Group, who would be so blind as to have designs on her? Wouldn't Old Master Chu skin them alive?"

Seeing that he was being sensible, Chu Muyun urged him to leave. "Good that you know. Alright, she'll be here soon, you should leave now."

However, Xing Zhenkun didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately. Instead, he became even more curious. "Why should I leave in a hurry? I want to catch a glimpse of the grace of the Chutian Group's young lady... Why don't you tell me, is this cousin of yours as beautiful as you?"

A playful smile curled on Chu Muyun's lips as she warned Xing Zhenkun not to have any fantasies about Chu Muxue. "Haha, let me put it this way: this cousin of mine has a temperament even colder than mine!"

Xing Zhenkun clearly didn't believe it. "Really? Colder than you? Is she even human..."

Chu Muyun glared at him and explained, "Hey, watch your mouth! I'm only cold in front of people I don't know. She's different; her coldness is innate, and she's the same toward everyone!"

Hearing this, Xing Zhenkun became even more curious. "Uh... in that case, I definitely have to wait for her."

Chu Muyun spread her hands helplessly. "Suit yourself, wait if you want. Oh, by the way, what's the deal with that Young Master Qin you mentioned? To think he could buy this whole building. Does he have money to burn? With seven or eight billion, isn't there something better to do than speculate on property?"

Xing Zhenkun laughed and explained, "Haha, you think he's speculating on property? When you got out of the car just now, didn't you see those luxury cars parked nearby?"

Chu Muyun recalled for a moment and then nodded. "I saw them. Why? You're not going to tell me those luxury cars all belong to that Young Master Qin, are you?"

Xing Zhenkun snapped his fingers triumphantly. "Bingo, you got it! Those cars indeed belong to Young Master Qin. He bought them at my dealership the day before yesterday. He cleared out all the cars in my dealership worth over twenty million! Besides those, Young Master Qin also spent billions to order five global limited-edition luxury cars. In just a few hours, he spent 3.7 billion at my dealership!"

Hearing this, a flash of shock appeared in Chu Muyun's eyes. "How much? 3.7 billion? Just to buy cars?"

Xing Zhenkun laughed triumphantly. "Haha, shocked, aren't you? Young Master Qin's strength is no joke!"

Chu Muyun nodded in agreement. "Yeah, what exactly is this Young Master Qin's background?"

Xing Zhenkun shook his head, indicating he was still investigating. "I'm not sure yet, I'm still looking into it. However, he is already a member of the Flying Dragon Supercar Club. We can slowly get to know his background."

Chu Muyun reminded him, "Well, don't let Young Master Qin find out you're investigating him. People as wealthy as that value their personal privacy the most."

"Understood!" Xing Zhenkun said, then continued, "Come on, let me help you pick out what furniture to buy later..."
