“Home? Where your parents are?” Wendy quickly asked.
Jasper nodded and replied, “My mom called me this morning and said that my neighbor has decided to build a house.
They took more than half of my family’s land. My dad went to talk to them about it and they almost beat him up. She wants me to go and take a look.”
“What kind of neighbor is that? That’s just straight-up bullying!” Wendy spoke angrily.
“There’s nothing wrong with building a house, but you can’t just take someone else’s land and then beat them up.”
“That’s why I put the matter in Cavern City on hold. I’ve got to get back and deal with the neighbor first. Maybe I’ll take the chance to move Mom and Dad to the new villa as well, so that they can relax and not worry,” Jasper spoke.
Wendy nodded in approval. “I’ll come with you!”
“Sure. You’ll have to meet my parents sooner or later anyway.” Jasper finally smiled.
Wendy blinked. “Why do I feel like there’s more to your words? I just don’t like seeing people get trampled on even if they’re your parents… Don’t drive too fast, I’m retouching my makeup.”
“There’s still two more hours before we reach, we have time,” Jasper replied in exasperation.
“Hey, steady. I’ll make you pay if my lipstick ends up crooked.”
“I’ll buy you 100 more.”
“You think you can do what you want just because you’re rich?”
“My apologies, but you can do whatever you want when you’re rich.”
It was rare for Laine Village to have visitors, let alone someone with a Bentley. Even the most knowledgeable person in the village had only gone to live in town for a few years, so none of them knew what a Bentley was.
However, it was an incredible enough feat to have a four-wheeled car during such a time.
Therefore, the moment Jasper’s car entered the village, it was suddenly surrounded by a large group of children. Even the adults in the village looked at the car with curiosity and envy.
