Erqi Binjiang was arguably the district with the most luxury residences in Wuhan.
In an era when average home prices were still under 20,000, the luxury residences here were already going for forty or fifty thousand.
And Heaven and Earth Cloud Court was undoubtedly the undisputed king of this district.
Qi Sheng had been drinking, so he didn’t drive.
Sitting in the passenger seat, he directed Wu Qingqing to drive to Phase One of Heaven and Earth Cloud Court.
He bought in Phase One simply because Phase Two had yet to be completed.
The quality was about the same, anyway.
If he really wanted to move later on, he could just buy another one.
"Ms. Wu, welcome home!"
Upon seeing the Aston Martin DBX, which had just been registered with the community’s property management system earlier that day, the security guard at the gate quickly saluted and greeted them.
"Thank you."
Wu Qingqing rolled up the window and looked at Qi Sheng, a little confused.
"I had Gu Feng come over earlier to take care of it. This apartment is registered in your name."
"The house in Chengdu is registered in Chuchu’s name."
Qi Sheng explained with a smile, "Besides, that one was a little on the cheaper side. Consider this one compensation for both of you."
"Thank you, darling!"
Wu Qingqing happily gave Qi Sheng a kiss. If her parents hadn’t been in the back seat, she would have just called him "hubby" in that mushy way of hers.
"Ah Sheng, this apartment isn’t cheap, is it?"
He Chunmei had heard her younger daughter briefly mention it before.
Qi Sheng had already bought them a luxury residence in Chengdu.
Including renovations, it had cost 13 million.
Given the status of Heaven and Earth Cloud Court, 50,000 per square meter was the absolute minimum.
Even for an entry-level unit, the total price wouldn’t be less than 10 million.
"The unit I bought is a bit larger, and the previous owner was very meticulous with the renovations, so it came to a total of 30 million."
"You two can come and stay here often. Our time here will be limited."
Qi Sheng’s method for dealing with He Chunmei and Wu Tao was simple and direct.
He simply threw money at the problem, buying the number one luxury residence in Wuhan. There was no doubt the old couple’s stance would soften.
"30 million?"
He Chunmei and Wu Tao gulped, trying to suppress their utter shock.
They had assumed Qi Sheng would buy a luxury home in the ten-million-plus range.
A price tag of 30 million was just absurdly extravagant.
In all of Wuhan, it would rank in the top five, maybe even the top three.
Only a massive villa of seven or eight hundred square meters could possibly outclass the sprawling luxury flat Qi Sheng had just bought.
When they entered the underground garage, they were greeted by a sea of luxury cars.
It seemed like all of Wuhan’s wealthy elite lived here.
Stepping out of the Aston Martin, Wu Tao and He Chunmei finally glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the world of the wealthy.
Seeing all the famous luxury car brands, He Chunmei and Wu Tao inexplicably straightened their posture, standing a little taller.
They took the luxurious, spacious elevator up to the 36th floor in the high-rise section.
The moment they stepped out of the elevator lobby, the aura of pure luxury washed over them.
The high-end, gleaming floor tiles were polished to a spotless shine.
The heavy, double-leaf armored door perfectly matched the high-class aesthetic of a top-tier luxury residence.
"Oh my god, this place is massive!"
He Chunmei exclaimed as she stepped inside and saw the vast living room.
It was easily a hundred square meters—absurdly extravagant.
She walked past the floor-to-ceiling windows and out onto the balcony.
The majestic feeling of watching the clouds roll across the sky over the river was instantly exhilarating.
Wu Tao was also speechless for a long time, utterly floored by the magnificent residence.
"Hubby, you’re so naughty. Using a mansion to strong-arm my parents into accepting our relationship."
Wu Chuchu whispered this while gently nibbling on Qi Sheng’s ear, having clearly guessed her man’s little ploy.
"Ahem. When we’re not in Wuhan, your parents can come and stay."
Qi Sheng rubbed his nose, surprised that Wu Chuchu had seen right through his little scheme.
"I’m jealous! The apartment you bought for my sister is so expensive, it’s three times the price of mine!"
Though she said this, she was actually happy for her sister.
When Qi Sheng had registered the first apartment in her name, she’d felt a little guilty toward her sister.
Now her sister had one too, and it was three times more expensive than hers.
She was even happier about it than Wu Qingqing was.
"Then tell me, how would you like me to compensate you?"
Qi Sheng wrapped an arm around Wu Chuchu’s soft waist. He saw that her parents were both on the balcony, captivated by the stunning view of the Yangtze River.
His hand roamed mischievously until it rested on Wu Chuchu’s plump, perky bottom.
"Mmph..."
Wu Chuchu let out a soft, involuntary sound and shot Qi Sheng a flirtatious glare.
"Tonight... I want three times my sister’s share."
"Ahem, we can’t be hasty about that."
Qi Sheng knew exactly what Wu Chuchu meant.
’She’s seen the other girls’ looks improve and she’s getting antsy. Fortunately, they all know their looks are already top-tier. The difficulty of improving them further is definitely higher than it is for the other, less naturally beautiful girls. But no matter how difficult, constant effort pays off. If she could become even more beautiful than her sister, she’d probably wake up laughing in her sleep.’
Qi Sheng had no plans to enhance the Wu sisters’ beauty in the near future.
’It’s not like I’m running out of ways to spend money. Improving Tan Hua and the others is far more cost-effective. Even if I boosted the Wu sisters’ beauty to a 99, the amount of gold I’d get in return would be the same. Once I level up, though, I could consider giving them a boost. But that’s a problem for another day. It’s out of the question for now.’
...
Wu Tao and He Chunmei stood on the balcony for a good ten minutes before reluctantly returning to the living room.
They saw their younger daughter’s arm linked intimately with Qi Sheng’s, but both pretended not to notice.
