Chapter 57: Go Down The Hill On Their Knees
Walk there?
Lin Huan and the others looked at one another.
They were on the outskirts of the city. The nearest village was more than four or five miles away.
Could it be…
A thought flashed across Lin Huan’s mind, but then, he was quick to deny it.
How could that be possible!
He was definitely thinking too much.
Not just anyone could buy a home in the Cloud Dream Dacha. Anyone who could afford to stay here was, by no means, someone that was respected for their fame and prestige.
He had never even seen this man before. So he was most certainly not someone who could afford to live in Cloud Dream Dacha.
With this thought in mind, Lin Huan’s expression became more relaxed. “Very well, let’s go and see where Mr. Xue’s house is then.”
Xue An was already walking out the door, having ignored everything Lin Huan was saying.
The crowd followed behind him.
After walking a short distance, Xue An made a turn and headed straight for the hill.
The more Lin Huan walked, the odder his expression became. The way he looked at Xue An was getting increasingly disdainful as well.
He did not know who were the owners of the neighboring houses. But they seemed to be heading towards the villa at the top of the hill. It was called Sky Room No. 1, and everyone knew who was staying there.
This villa on the hill was one of its kind in the entire Cloud Dream Dacha. And it also had a unique location.
He heard that a wealthy man from Middle Capital once offered an astronomical amount of money for it, but the Qin family just would not sell it.
He had also heard that Old Master Qin was going to keep it for himself.
And despite what he may claim, there was no way that this man was a member of the Qin family. Based on that, there was only one possibility, and that this was a fool who was trying to deceive his friends and colleagues.
What a shame you have met me! A smug smile appeared on Lin Huan’s face.
I will expose you for the fraud that you are.
Upon reaching the top of the hill, the grand and extravagant villa, Sky Room No. 1, awed everyone.
This included Lin Huan, as it was also his first time seeing a villa like this. Compared to this, the villa he owned could only be considered as a shameful mess.
“This is the place where we live with our Papa,” Xue Xiang said very proudly.
The expressions in the eyes of many who were looking at Xue An began to change.
Could he really be some rich, second-generation stranger who had kept his true identity well under wraps?
But right at this moment, Lin Huan took a step forward and scoffed loudly. “Hey guys, he claims to be living in this villa here. But everyone in the whole of Cloud Dream Dacha knows that this is Sky Room No. 1. This villa is the place that the old master of the Qin family is keeping for himself. And we all know that Mr. Xue isn’t Old Master Qin, right?”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They could not fault his reasoning.
They came to the assumption that Xue An was trying to trick them, and they quickly became angry.
Lin Huan looked at Xue An and said with a smug expression, “Now let me guess. What does Mr. Xue do here? Are you the cook? Or the chauffeur?”
Xue An smiled lightly and asked, “What do you think?”
Lin Huan sneered and said, “It doesn’t matter what I think. This villa obviously isn’t yours!”
“You’re talking nonsense. This is what Auntie Qin gave my Papa!” Xue Xiang said angrily.
“Qin Yu? Mistress Qin of the Qin family? How can someone like your papa know Mistress Qin of the Qin family? Young lady, where did you learn to tell such big lies?” Lin Huan said with a laugh.
He thought he had blown Xue An’s cover. This Xue guy was obviously just pretending to be someone he was not. Now let’s see how you try to defend yourself in front of Tang Xuan’er!
But just as Lin Huan was gloating, a calm and majestic voice came from behind the crowd.
“Mr. Xue, are you still getting used to living here?”
The crowd turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man walking up from the bottom of the hill. This man had a dignified countenance and a calm demeanor and carried an air of authority and stateliness with him.
It was none other than Qin Yuan himself.
Xue An nodded in response. “It’s not a bad place at all. It’s just that this hill was a little too short, so I’ve raised it higher by more than a hundred meters or so.”
Qin Yuan had felt that there was something wrong when he was going up the mountain. He did not remember it being this high or this steep. Now that he had heard what Xue An had to say, he understood what happened.
This was the very first time he heard that a hill could be raised higher!
To Qin Yuan, Xue An was no different than a divine immortal. He had seen more than enough miraculous feats from this strange man. Raising a mountain came as a surprise, but Qin Yuan quickly got over it.
Lin Huan, however, did not recognize Qin Yuan. All he saw was an old man speaking to Xue An. They seemed to be having a decent and respectful conversation, so he took the opportunity to loudly interrupt them. “Yo! That’s quite a realistic show you’re putting up there. Looks like you brought an acting partner with you!”
Qin Yuan frowned for a moment and looked at Lin Huan.
“Who are you?”
Lin Huan stood up a little taller and proudly pushed his shoulders back. “I am one of the owners of a villa in Cloud Dream Dacha. And your friend here is claiming that owns this particular villa. This is Sky Room No. 1! Your friend’s sneaky lie is over!”
Sneaky lie?
Qin Yuan looked at Xue An, who still maintained his aloof expression. Qin Yuan immediately understood what was going on. “Well then, who do you think Sky Room No. 1 belongs to?”
“Hur-hur, what an idiot. Everyone knows that Sky Room No. 1 is the villa that Old Master Qin is keeping for himself! Your friend is actually trying to deceive people by claiming that the villa belongs to him. Come on! Who’s going to believe that nonsense!”
Luo Jing and the others all burst out laughing.
Qin Yuan’s cold and authoritative voice cut through all the laughter. “That’s right. Initially, I wanted to keep this villa for myself. But I have decided to give it to Mr. Xue instead. Do you have a problem with that?”
There was silence in the room.
And then, Lin Huan made a cold snort and said, “You gave it to him? What a joke. Who do you think you are?”
“No!” A fierce voice shouted from a distance. “Who do you think YOU are?”
Qin Yu walked up from the foot of the hill. Her pretty face was filled with anger.
Lin Huan may have not recognized Qin Yuan, but he definitely recognized Qin Yu. The moment he saw that it was her, his entire body froze.
Qin Yu walked closer to stand before him, then stopped. She turned respectfully to Xue And and said, “My greetings to you, Mr. Xue.”
Xue An nodded without saying anything.
Then Qin Yu turned to Qin Yuan. “Grandfather,” she acknowledged.
Grandfather?
There was only one person in the whole wide world that Qin Yu would address this way.
That would be the chairman of Longtai Group. The head of the Qin family. Qin Yuan himself.
Everything started to fall into place as Lin Huan made the connections. His face instantly went ashen.
This… How was this possible?
And why was the seemingly ordinary and common-looking Xue An being treated with so much respect by the Qin family? They even addressed him as Mr. Xue.
Luo Jing, who had been looking down on Xue An and making use of him to mock Tang Xuan’er ‘s lack of taste in men, felt even more jealous.
This man must surely be of high status if he was able to make the Qin family treat him with such reverence. Compared to him, Lin Huan was just a nobody.
But this was not all.
Today was a very busy and lively day at Sky Room No. 1. The villa was buzzing with activities and more people were about to join them. Two people, one old and one young, were walking up the path of the hill, towards the villa.
It was an old man with white hair and a young woman with a slim and graceful demeanor.
As they approached the villa, everyone could make out who these two were. Lin Huan, Luo Jing, and almost everyone else there, were dumbstruck.
It was Hua Xingyu and his granddaughter, Hua Tingting.
In the medical field of Beijiang, Hua Xingyu was a well-known figure who was at the Master level.
The grandfather and granddaughter pair walked straight past the group as if they were all invisible.
They finally stopped in front of Xue An. Hua Xingyu paid his respects by cupping one hand in the other, and placing them in front of his chest. His expression and behavior was respectful, almost like he was a student greeting his teacher. “My greetings to you, Mr. Xue.”
Dead silence filled the entire place. Everyone kept quiet, including those who had just mocked Xue An without any restraint. At this moment, they all felt as though someone had ruthlessly slapped them in the face.
Lin Huan even shuddered from a chill that ran through him. He finally understood why there always seemed to be a faintly discernible smile on Xue An’s face.
It turned out that Xue An was laughing at Lin Huan’s ignorance.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu turned her head to continue addressing Lin Huan. In a cold voice, she said, “Who did you just say it was?”
The coldness in her voice made Lin Huan quiver and he hurriedly replied in a stammering voice, “Qin… Miss Qin, I really didn’t know that this old gentleman here is Qin…”
Qin Yu took a step forward and stare him down. “This villa was given to Mr. Xue by us, the Qin family, with no strings attached. Who do you think you are? Who are you to question this decision?”
Lin Huan was stumped by her questioning and could only stammer out a response. “I… I was wrong!”

Xue An waved his hand dismissively. “Just forget it.”
Hearing him say those words made Lin Huan, Luo Jing and the others feel as though they had just heard the tranquil sounds of nature. They could relax!
It seemed that it would be quite easy to talk things out with this guy! Lin Huan was secretly relieved.
“Since you already know you are in the wrong, then why still bother saying so much? Just ask them to go down the hill on their knees!” Xue An said in an unconcerned manner.
