Chapter 19: Flaunting the Property Deed

Page 1/3

Xu Ruyin hadn’t expected Lin Qiongqiong to be able to connect with someone like her cousin’s husband, which stirred a pang of jealousy within her, making her feel like she was merely picking up discarded trash that Lin Qiongqiong no longer wanted.

She glanced at the photo she had just taken and saw that the man beside Lin Qiongqiong was even older than her father, which helped her regain some composure.

That old man clearly had a family; Lin Qiongqiong must be playing the role of the other woman on the side!

No wonder she had been so flush with cash lately — the extravagant spending on lottery winnings and demolition compensation must have been money from the older man.

Inside the villa.

Manager Huang treated Lin Qiongqiong with great respect. “Miss Lin, are there any aspects of this arrangement you’re unhappy with? I can have someone come and adjust things at any time.”

“This is fine,” Lin Qiongqiong replied, gazing at the lavish villa with immense satisfaction, itching to move out from the cramped four-person dormitory room immediately.

Manager Huang continued, “There’s also a private parking lot downstairs, enough for three cars…”

Lin Qiongqiong nodded nonchalantly but felt quite embarrassed—she hadn’t even gotten her driver’s license yet.

After touring the house, Lin Qiongqiong returned to the dorm to pack her belongings, planning to call a moving service.

Liu Xuan and Yan Zhiqing came back just in time to catch her packing.

“Qiongqiong, you’re not staying in the dorm anymore?” Liu Xuan asked in surprise.

Lin Qiongqiong gave a casual hum, not really wanting to engage with them.

But Liu Xuan pressed on, “So you rented a place outside? That must cost at least a thousand or two a month. Our dorm only costs about that for the whole year. You’ve really struck it rich.”

Her tone was tinged with sourness.

Yan Zhiqing sneered, “Rich? Clearly, she’s hooked up with some old man! Liu Xuan, didn’t you see the latest post on the campus marketplace? Qiongqiong really has skills—after becoming prettier, she immediately hooked up with a wealthy man who can afford the Purple Palace. But that guy looks as old as my dad. Qiongqiong, you really aren’t picky!”

At Yan Zhiqing’s words, Liu Xuan immediately pulled out her phone to watch the drama.

She opened the campus marketplace trending list and saw the top post:

#Shock! The Truth Behind Lin Qiongqiong’s Sudden Wealth at the College of Chemistry and Biology!#

Lin Qiongqiong also checked it out. The post included a photo of her entering the villa with Manager Huang.

The comment section was filled with unsavory remarks.

[Lin Qiongqiong? The girl who recently spent tens of millions upgrading her professor’s lab? No wonder she’s so generous—now we know where the money comes from!]

[Turns out women really do make money faster!]

[That man could be her dad, right? She’s got no standards.]

However, some people defended Lin Qiongqiong.

[People with dirty minds see filth everywhere. The photo just shows them entering a mansion; there’s no intimate behavior. Besides, if Lin Qiongqiong can spend tens of millions lavishly, maybe the villa actually belongs to her?]

[Lin Qiongqiong won’t comment, but I’m sure the poster is no good! Making slanderous accusations about a girl based on one photo to incite online bullying—clearly jealous to the point of madness.]

But these positive comments got drowned out by the highly upvoted malicious speculations.

After reading the post, Liu Xuan’s gaze toward Lin Qiongqiong shifted, blending embarrassment with a hint of schadenfreude.

“Qiongqiong, are you really the other woman?”

Lin Qiongqiong pulled a property deed from her bag and waved it. “If I told you this mansion is mine, would you be happier?”

Seeing the deed in her hands, Liu Xuan immediately broke down. She snatched it and flipped it open, completely stunned when she saw only Lin Qiongqiong’s name on it.

Yan Zhiqing was also shocked that Lin Qiongqiong could afford a standalone villa in the Purple Palace.

Could it be that she came from some secretive, wealthy family?

Lin Qiongqiong directly posted a new thread on the campus marketplace titled “I am Lin Qiongqiong.” The post contained no words, only a photo of her property deed.

Soon, curious students flooded the post.

[Wow! Real bosses never waste words—just casually show off a property deed worth over twenty million!]

[I said it before—if she could spend ten million on her professor, why can’t she buy a twenty-million mansion herself? Those who maliciously speculate about where her money comes from are just jealous haters like the original poster!]

[When you’re this rich, having a housekeeper is normal, right? My wife and that man never even touched each other, yet you all spread lies about my wife? Honey, when are you coming home? [Sad face emoji]]

The comment section filled with playful shark and rich woman meme emojis.

Still, some continued to speculate maliciously.

[Who knows if that villa was bought by the old man? Some wealthy guys throw millions at online celebrities like it’s nothing.]

But soon, a new post revealed Manager Huang’s personal information.

[The man beside Lin Qiongqiong is the sales manager of the Purple Palace! Are you seriously saying a sales manager spends tens of millions to keep a college girl as his mistress?]

Then people noticed a more serious problem—

[What the heck? The marketplace is now real-name verified?]

The campus marketplace was mainly used by students from the school, and accounts were registered using student IDs, which could be used to directly look up each person’s name and major. Now, every nickname on the marketplace had been replaced by the user’s real name and major.

People’s first reaction was to delete their posts, but they panicked when they found that the marketplace was malfunctioning—they could post but not delete.

Lin Qiongqiong felt that her “hacker” skills were truly useful.

She checked the very first post that had secretly taken photos of her and smirked when she saw Xu Ruyin’s name, not at all surprised.

The comments originally defaming her were all drowned out, replaced by many exposing Xu Ruyin.

[Tsk, turns out the original poster is the other woman herself, no wonder she sees everyone else as one too!]

[Look at my verified ID, same year at the College of Chemistry and Biology. This Xu Ruyin is both a homewrecker who stole Lin Qiongqiong’s boyfriend and a plagiarist who falsely accused Lin Qiongqiong. Her reputation is already ruined! Now she’s spreading rumors and cyberbullying Lin Qiongqiong?]

In no time, Xu Ruyin’s various scandals spread across Jiangcheng Institute of Technology and were even shared widely on public platforms like Little Green Book, DouLe, and SlowHand.

Dorm 306.

Liu Xuan and Yan Zhiqing witnessed the online battle unfold, their feelings complex.

Liu Xuan forced a smile. “Qiongqiong, I’m not trying to doubt you. I know you’re so rich, how could you be the other woman?”

But Lin Qiongqiong raised her phone. “Oh? Then who posted this comment?”

[Yes, Lin Qiongqiong’s money is definitely from hooking up with an old man. She’s a slut used by thousands!]

Liu Xuan’s flattering smile froze instantly.
