Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Papa, What’s A Penniless Beggar?

“High post?” Xue An smiled and said, “I don’t even have a job.”

“Oh…” Lin Huan purposefully dragged out his reply. Meanwhile, he was feeling more and more contempt for Xue An.

It turned out that this was just a stay-at-home dad who was the homemaker of his family.

“Then what do you usually do at home?”

“I just spend time with the kids, cooking, looking at the scenery and things like that,” Xue An said nonchalantly.

Lin Huan exchanged a knowing look with the colleagues that had gathered around him.

It seemed that this guy was just a useless and insignificant bum that did not even contribute to society.

Then Lin Huan pointedly looked at his watch.

“Doctor Lin, that watch of yours must have cost you quite a bit, right?” One of Lin Huan’s colleagues asked, right on cue.

“Oh it’s not that bad,” Lin Huan replied casually. “It only costs about two hundred thousand or so. I was in a rush to leave the house today so I only managed to wear this cheap, ordinary watch.”

Meanwhile, Luo Jing had sauntered over, looking like a love-struck fool. “Doctor Lin, I heard that your family just bought you a house in the Cloud Dream Dacha?”

Lin Huan nodded, beaming with pride. “Yes. They just bought one a couple of days ago! It cost around a few tens of millions, I guess.”

A slight commotion rustled among the people when Li Huan said those words.

“I heard the houses in Cloud Dream Dacha can’t be bought with money alone!”

Lin Huan smiled and said, “But of course. This is the house that my father bought with a great amount of money. But he had also put in a great deal of effort to pull some strings. Turns out, one of his friends is from the Qin family.”

The Qin family!

When Lin Huan mentioned this name, his face showed a little more respect.

As for everyone else, their faces were filled with envy and surprise.

It was the Qin family after all!

It was a wealthy and influential family that many people could only look up to.

Lin Huan’s family had actually managed to establish a connection with the Qin family. This meant that Lin Huan’s family was not just a simple and ordinary family.

“Since it so happens that we’re all here at Cloud Dream Lake, let me invite you guys to my place. You can take a look at my new home.” Lin Huan said these words in a clear and loud voice, making sure that everyone could hear him.

“Sounds great!” Luo Jing was the first to cheer.

She looked at Lin Huan so intently that her eyes seemed like they were about to spew fire.

But Lin Huan paid no attention to Luo Jing. Instead, he spoke to Tang Xuan’er. “Xuan’er, come over to my villa later. I have a bottle of red wine that a friend from France gifted to me. You won’t be able to buy it anywhere here. We can try it together.”

Tang Xuan’er did not say anything. She was just looking at Xue An.

With a faint smile, Xue An said, “Okay, sounds good. There’s not much for us to do here anyway. Let’s go try Doctor Lin’s red wine.”

Lin Huan was filled with resentment. He glared angrily at Xue An with eyes that were filled with rage.

This guy was just tactless and insensitive.

He had to find a way to put him in his place and make him back off.

Only someone like me could be worthy of such a beautiful woman like Tang Xuan’er, Lin Huan secretly thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Luo Jing was unhappy that she was being ignored. She stared at Tang Xuan’er with a face filled with hatred, as though she wished she could eat her up right now.

When the conversation was over, everyone went to play by the lake for a while. When it was almost noon, the crowd got into their respective cars and headed straight to Cloud Dream Dacha.

The security of this place was indeed very tight. Lin Huan had to show his keys to prove that he was the owner of the property, but the security guards still proceeded to check every single car once through the gates.

When it was Xue An’s turn to be searched by the security guards, Luo Jing deliberately stepped aside to watch. She wanted to see how Tang Xuan’er and company would make a fool of themselves.

But when Xue An lowered the window, the security guard immediately recognized who it was. The guard halted for a split second, but recovered quickly and saluted.

“Greetings Mr. Xue…”

Xue An waved his hand dismissively, and the security guard ate the words that were supposed to follow his formalities.

Luo Jing was a little confused. What was going on?

Why was this security guard acting like this?

Could it be…

Xue An knew this security guard?

That had to be the reason!

Who knew, the two of them might even be colleagues! Luo Jing thought that this was a reasonable deduction.

Once they had officially entered Dream Cloud Dacha, many people cried out with wonder and surprise.

“Oh gosh! So beautiful! It’s unbelievable how the flowers here are actually in full bloom during this cold season.”

“These flowers have been painstakingly nurtured by gardening experts. Naturally, they’re not afraid of the harsh cold.”

Everyone arrived at Lin Huan’s villa. Once again, they were filled with awe.

With a proud look on his face, Lin Huan said, “This is my home. Come on in everyone!”

This villa was located on the edge of Cloud Dream Dacha. Although it was not a prime location compared to the other villas here, the surrounding environment and its facilities were top-notch.

Upon entering the villa, the group of people continued to be dazzled by what they saw.

“The materials used for the renovation works were all imported from all over Europe. Just the renovations alone cost more than ten million dollars!” Lin Huan smugly introduced his home to his colleagues. He looked at Xue An, hoping to get a reaction out of him.

But even as Lin Huan was talking, Xue An maintained a look of indifference. This further frustrated Lin Huan.

“This country bumpkin isn’t even impressed, is he?” Lin Huan thought to himself.

Before long, lunchtime had rolled around. Lin Huan had made preparations beforehand and had bought high-grade ingredients to prepare a luxury meal. He even hired a few chefs, who have been kept busy the entire day, to set a table full of exquisite dishes for his guests.

“Xuan’er, come, try this. These steaks are imported from Europe!” Lin Huan eagerly offered.

Tang Xuan’er cut off a small piece and tasted the morsel. She suddenly stopped eating and frowned slightly.

Ever since she had tasted Xue An’s cooking, eating anything else simply made her feel like she was chewing on wax.

Luo Jing could not hold back any longer. She laughed coldly. “You’re still pretending to be a princess? You’ve never had the chance to see something as magnificent as this place, or tried such exquisite food, right? I mean, all you have is a penniless beggar!”

She said those words so bluntly that everyone around her was a little surprised.

Tang Xuan’er was furious for being put on the spot like that. Xue An, however, maintained a calm demeanor.

Suddenly, a sweet, childish voice pipped in. “Papa, what’s a penniless beggar?”

This innocent question left many people giggling with their hands over their mouths.

Luo Jing and Lin Huan, in particular, were happy that they had managed to humiliate Xue And and Tang Xuan’er. In fact, they were smiling along with the crowd.

Since your own daughter is asking this question, let’s see how you answer.

Xue An could not help but burst out laughing. First, he patted Xue Xiang’s little head, then he pointed to the table, the chair, and the other furniture in the room. He said, in an unconcerned manner, “Look at that. That’s what a penniless beggar would own.”

These words were so daring that it seemed to shake up the room. Many people were shocked that Xue An had the guts to say those things.

Luo Jing was the first to react. She laughed loudly and dismissively.”Yo, seems like some people here just don’t know their place. Better not talk big when you have no idea what you’re dealing with.”

Lin Huan however, was a lot more direct. He was visibly livid. “What are you trying to say?”

Xue An shook his head. “I’m sorry. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear just now,” he said.

Hearing this made Lin Huan lighten up a little. He was expecting to hear an apology from Xue An.

But instead of an apology, Xue An surprised everyone with his next few words. “Your home obviously doesn’t belong to a penniless beggar. After all, a beggar would be humble and self-aware. You on the other hand… have none of those qualities.”

Lin Huan’s blood boiled. He felt like he was going to get a heart attack.

Luo Jing quickly cut in. “So, what you’re trying to say is that your home is even more luxurious than this home?”

In all honesty, Xue An was not deliberately mocking Lin Huan and his home. He was simply telling the truth. To him, everything in Beijiang, and the entire earth even, was considered poor.

He had witnessed other planets that were rich in resources. In these places, the dominating sects owned a majority of these resources, and were capable of leading lives that were beyond everything and anything that common humans from Earth could ever begin to imagine.

In comparison, this villa had the status of a lowly bathroom in Sky Room No. 1.

Before anything else was said, Xue Xiang interrupted. “Our home is much, much bigger than this place,” she said innocently.

“Does being big mean that it’s of higher worth? This is a villa in Dream Cloud Dacha that we are talking about!” Luo Jing ridiculed the little girl.

Lin Huan also sneered at the girl. “If that is the case, why don’t we all go to Mr. Xue’s house to take a look and see what type of home he’s living in?”

Lin Huan expected Xue An to protest.

But to his surprise, Xue An nodded. “Sure. That’s fine too.”

“How do we get there? By car? I’m not going if it’s too far away. What if it’s in a ditch somewhere. It’s probably a place that’s very dirty and dangerous,” Luo Jing mocked.

Xue An shook his head and said, “There’s no need to go by car. We can walk there.”
