Chapter 123: Put Together
Liu Xiaobao seemed to be in urgent need of money and urged, “Give me the money now, hurry up! I want cash!”
Nowadays, withdrawing large amounts of cash from banks comes with various restrictions, making Liu Xiaobao’s request quite difficult. However, coincidentally, Xu Youyou happened to be carrying cash with her.
Since she dealt in antiques, she always kept some cash on hand for emergencies. Xu Youyou immediately instructed one of her bodyguards to fetch the money from the car.
A thick stack of red banknotes was handed over, and Liu Xiaobao hastily grabbed them. After counting carefully, he finally handed the bag of silver dollars to Xu Youyou.
Only after putting on gloves did Xu Youyou dare to accept the bag of silver dollars.
Liu Xiaobao didn’t care about the blatant disdain in her actions. As soon as he got the money, he ran off in a hurry.
Behind him, Old Liu hobbled out as quickly as he could, only to see his son’s back disappearing into the distance. He slapped his thigh and wailed in despair. He wanted to lash out at Xu Youyou.
“I’m calling the police! Those are my silver dollars! Give them back!”
But the two fierce-looking bodyguards stepped forward, and Old Liu’s shouting immediately got stuck in his throat. He stumbled backward in fear and eventually collapsed in his yard, wailing, “Such misfortune! Such misfortune! Those were my hard-earned treasures!”
On the way back to Li’s house with the silver dollars, Xu Youyou casually asked her bodyguards, “Who wants to report Liu Xiaobao for drug use?”
Locals might fear retaliation from addicts, but Xu Youyou’s bodyguards were all righteous men. Instead of hesitating, they even fought over the chance to report him.
Seeing this, Xu Youyou sighed helplessly and randomly pointed at one. “You report it this time. I’ll give you an extra five thousand as a reward.”
The bodyguard who lost the opportunity was so frustrated that he slapped his own thigh, feeling like he had missed both the chance to do a good deed and a financial bonus.
The one who won the chance was generous enough to say, “I’ll treat the guys to dinner later.”
Meanwhile, Xu Fang had been sent to find a decent restaurant nearby. She arranged for a meal to be delivered to Li’s house, so the group could eat together.
She was meticulous in her work—she even ordered some unsalted meat dishes for the cats and dogs to eat, even though Xu Youyou hadn’t specifically asked her to.
After lunch, the moving company arrived. Li Laotai didn’t have many belongings—her pets had more things than she did. Since Xu Youyou had brought many people along, it didn’t take long for them to load everything onto the moving truck.
It was only then that Aunt Liu remembered a key issue—Xu Youyou was still staying in a hotel. Would she have to rent a place on short notice?
“Miss Xu, where are we moving all this stuff?”
Xu Youyou smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Aunt Liu, I have a place in the capital.”
Everyone was stunned.
They had believed her when she said it was her first time in the capital. After all, they had seen her check into a hotel. Who would have thought that she actually owned property here?
“I had someone buy it for me, and then I forgot about it. I never even went to check it out. If I had remembered earlier, I wouldn’t have had to stay in a hotel,” Xu Youyou said casually.
She wasn’t deliberately lying; it was just that explaining how she had obtained the property—through a system reward—wasn’t something she could openly share.
Everyone’s expressions froze.
Buying a house in the capital and forgetting about it? Not even bothering to check it out? The life of the rich was truly simple and unpretentious.
As the vehicles approached the HD district, those unfamiliar with the area quietly searched for its real estate prices on their phones.
At the entrance to the villa district, a security guard politely stopped them.
Seeing two luxury cars in front and a moving truck behind, the guard asked respectfully, “Good afternoon, guests. Do you have an appointment?”
Xu Youyou shook her head. “I’m not a guest. I’m the owner.”
The security guard looked at her closely, still finding her unfamiliar. But when she provided her details, his demeanor immediately changed to one of deep respect.
“Miss Xu, since you bought this property, you’ve never visited. Our property management office has very little information about you. If you have time today, we’d like to send someone to complete your check-in process and present you with a welcome gift.”
This villa district had only two “king villas.” Xu Youyou’s villa was the more expensive one. Ever since it was purchased, though people had come to renovate it, the owner had never set foot inside. The property management staff had always been curious about what kind of wealthy person could leave such an extravagant house empty.
Xu Youyou nodded casually.
The security gate lifted, and their convoy drove in, with a property management vehicle following behind.
When she finally laid eyes on the house that had been system-rewarded, even Xu Youyou was stunned.
She must have saved the system’s life in a past life—otherwise, why would she receive such an amazing house as a casual gift?
The system never skimped on rewards. This villa was not only a “king villa” but also fully furnished and ready to move into. Even better, its decor matched Xu Youyou’s personal taste perfectly.
Just like the Tomson Riviera reward, the furniture inside was all custom-made by master craftsmen, expensive yet understated. The combination created an indescribable sense of sophistication.
At a glance, Xu Youyou estimated that just the interior decorations alone must have cost at least eight figures.
But what shocked her the most—sitting right in the garage—was a gleaming luxury car.
A Rolls-Royce Spectre.
This time, the system had combined two rewards into one.
“Boss! You even bought a new car? Such an amazing car, and you’ve never even driven it!”
Even though they knew Xu Youyou disliked excessive chatter, both her bodyguards and Xu Fang couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.
Anyone who saw such a stunning vehicle would be captivated.
Especially those who loved cars and had a driver’s license—their eyes were practically glued to it.
Xu Youyou didn’t have a driver’s license. She simply thought the car looked beautiful, had a luxurious interior, and—most importantly—was absurdly expensive.
If it weren’t a system reward, she would have sold it on the spot.
But to avoid angering the system, she abandoned that idea.
“Boss, leaving such a nice car in the garage is such a waste. We should take it out for a drive!” Xu Fang suggested enthusiastically. She was practically itching to get behind the wheel and take it for a spin around the neighborhood.
Xu Youyou casually replied, “Sure.”
Xu Fang was ecstatic.
The bodyguards behind her were red with envy.
This top-tier luxury car was every man’s dream.
Right now, they all wished they had been born women—so they could become Xu Youyou’s personal driver.
Meanwhile, Li Laotai and Aunt Liu weren’t particularly interested in cars, but they were still delighted.
The villa had over 1,000 square meters of yard space in both the front and back—plenty of room for the cats and dogs to roam freely.
As for Guai Guai, it had now officially become the Dog King, leading a pack of stray dogs running wildly around the backyard.
“Woof woof! Long live the Dog King!” the little dogs barked in unison.
