Mysterious Heir Chapter 175

Seeing this look on Mrs. Miao’s face, Lai Kangning could not help but let out a bitter smile.

“Mrs. Miao, you have misunderstood, in fact, I don’t collect rags anymore. But if you want to sell rags, you can sell them to Old Zhou, Old Zhou is the most truthful person and will definitely not give you a shortage.” Lai Kangning said politely.

“What, you don’t collect rags anymore” Mrs. Miao was stunned, “Then what are you doing here in our neighborhood to look for relatives?”

“Well, not really.” Li Kangning shook his head.

“Then what are you doing here,” then a playful smile appeared on Mrs. Miao’s face.

“You’re not going to tell me that you’ve bought a house in our neighborhood, are you?” halfway through her sentence, Mrs. Miao laughed outright, obviously not thinking that was a possibility.

As soon as she saw Mrs. Miao’s look of contempt, Li Nan’s heart instantly became displeased.

“What, we just bought a house in this neighbourhood, can’t we?” Li Nan’s voice had a hint of coldness in it.

It would have been fine if she had been pushing herself around, but this Mrs. Miao came up and looked down on her parents so much, and Li Nan did not agree.

“You have been neighbours for many years, and your family’s condition is not unknown to anyone, but you dare to say you have bought a house in our neighbourhood, you really want to laugh me to death, hahaha,” Mrs. Miao shook her head and laughed.

“Mrs. Miao, what he said is true, Xiao Nan, we do have a new house in this neighborhood.” Although Lai Kangning was good-natured, she could not stand seeing Mrs. Miao in this state.

Hearing even Lai Kangning say this, Mrs. Miao finally could not laugh anymore, and instead, she had a leathery smile.

“Old Li, you guys really think I’m stupid, and you’re even working together to cheat me. You said you had bought a house in this neighbourhood, so let me ask you, how much is the price of your house per square foot now,” Mrs. Miao asked coldly.

“This,” Li Kangning was speechless for a moment.

The house was a gift from Luo Jianzhang, so naturally he did not know how much the house price was.

Seeing that Lai Kangning could not answer, Mrs. Miao was even more sure that Lai Kangning was simply bragging, so she burst into a cold laugh again.

“You don’t even know how much a house costs here, and you still dare to brag to me that you bought a house here, what a laugh!

“Let me tell you, we bought the topmost floor at that time, which is considered cheaper, but the price of the house then already reached more than 30,000, and now it’s even higher. It’s not that I’m looking down on you, with the little money you have from collecting rags, you still want to buy a house in our neighbourhood, even if you collect rags for the rest of your life, you probably can’t even afford to buy a toilet in our house, hahaha”

At that time, Mrs. Miao and her family had poured out their family savings to buy a house here, and then borrowed a large sum of money to barely make up the down payment, and they still had to pay the mortgage for thirty years.

But now, Li Kangning, a poor rag-picker, dared to say that he had also bought a house in this neighbourhood, which made Mrs Miao feel humiliated.

Her own family was at least well-off, but now she had to live in the same neighbourhood as a rag-picker and belonged to the same level, so Mrs. Miao was naturally very upset, so she spoke without any concern.

“If you can afford to buy a house here, then can all ragpickers afford to buy a house?”

Mrs. Miao then pointed at Old Zhou and asked in a cold voice, “Let me ask you, can you afford to buy a house here?”

“I” Old Zhou couldn’t say anything.

He was a rag picker, so of course he could not afford such an expensive house.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Miao like this, Li Nan and the others were all displeased in their hearts and felt that this Mrs. Miao was really looking down on people.

Li Kangning was also a little upset, but Li Kangning had always been a more cultured person and did not get angry on the spot.

“You’re right, of course I can’t afford such an expensive house if I’m scavenging, but it’s a good thing I have a striving son.

As a matter of fact, Li Kangning had now taken Li Nan as his pride.

He could even be considered a failure, but so what, I have raised a good son, and my son is so successful that even the big bosses have to please him.

“What did you say about Li Nan?” Hearing this from Li Kangning, Mrs. Miao immediately snorted again.

“I don’t think I’m looking down on Li Nan, not to mention that he hasn’t graduated yet, and even if he did, what would he do?

“How dare you say that Li Nan can afford to buy a house here?” “Lao Li, Lao Li, although you were poor before, I thought you were quite an honest person, but I didn’t expect you to brag without a draft now.”

Mrs. Miao shook her head with a bitter smile, looking very disappointed with Li Kangning.

“You,” even though Lai Kangning was good-tempered, she was still furious with Mrs. Miao at the moment.

“Who are you calling a braggart?” hearing Mrs. Miao say that her father was bragging, Li Nan was not happy.

“We did buy a new house here anyway, believe it or not,” said Li Nan, not bothering to explain to such people.

At this, Mrs. Miao’s face turned gloomy.

“You child, how can you talk to adults?” Mrs. Miao scolded her directly.

“Fine, didn’t you say you bought a house in this neighborhood, then fine, tell me, which one do you live in?”

Mrs. Miao seemed to have gotten serious with Li Kangning and the family, and wanted to expose the lies of Li Nan and the family, so that Li Nan and the family would be completely disgraced

“It’s in this one, building 608 of the 13th building,” replied Li Kangning with certainty.

“Building 13 is just right, I live in building 13. Let’s go up together, if you can open the door, I’ll believe you, how about that?” said Mrs. Miao with a hint of provocation.

“Fine, then if we can really open the door, you have to apologize to my father,” said Li Nan nonchalantly.

“Humph, not to mention apologize, I can even call out to his father”, Mrs. Miao, who had a spirited look, laughed coldly at this moment.

At this moment, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei were also motivated by this bet.

It’s okay to be really poor before, but now we are at least people who can afford to live in a house worth several million dollars, and to be told that we are bragging, this is something I can’t bear!

So, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei followed Mrs Miao upstairs.

Even Old Zhou, at this moment, also followed along.

When the crowd arrived at the door of room 608 on the sixth floor, they stopped directly.

“Well, this is it, don’t you have the key, come on, open the door for me” said Mrs. Miao with a cold smile on her face.

Of course, Mrs. Miao did not believe that Li Kangning could really open the door, she was ready to see the joke of Li Kangning’s lie fall through.

Without showing any weakness, Li Kangning took out the key and went straight to the door.

With a sound, the key was inserted directly into the lock hole.

The smile on Mrs. Miao’s face froze and she became slightly nervous.

Li Kangning, however, was somewhat pleased with himself, and then he was about to twist the lock directly.

However, the next thing that happened was unexpected.

The key didn’t work!

“What’s going on here?” Li Kangning was stunned, and his whole body was dumbfounded.

“Let me try,” Li Nan, not believing in evil, took Li Kangning’s key and twisted it too.

However, the result was the same as before, but it also failed to move.

At this moment, Mrs. Miao behind her could no longer hold back, and directly covered her stomach and laughed wildly.

“Hahahaha you two, father and son, you’re really killing me with laughter, hahaha”

“How can this be,” Li Nan was also a bit dumbfounded.
