Chapter 2897: The Happiness of the Rich Was Beyond What You Could Imagine
If you wanted to make a profit, you had to build houses, and after that, you still needed to sell them.
And these houses weren’t something regular people could afford.
Maybe they were targeting wealthy buyers.
What was that saying? You thought that once you had money, you’d be as happy as you imagined, but you were wrong. The happiness of the rich was beyond what you could imagine.
How toxic.
Buying land was pretty much equivalent to gambling.
Bai Hanmo arrived with Ding Ningdie, who wore a finely tailored, handmade dress.
Since it was custom-made, the dress had a unique style, immediately drawing the attention of the women around.
Ning Shu looked at Ding Ningdie. Her skin was delicate, fair, and had a rosy glow. Her pure features caused many men to look at her instinctively.
Ding Ningdie was beautiful. Not striking, but very pleasant to look at. The more you looked, the more captivating she became.
“Sister.”
Seeing Ning Shu, Ding Ningdie released Bai Hanmo’s arm and walked toward her.
“Sister, where have you been? I haven’t seen you in ages. Come home, Dad misses you a lot. You haven’t visited him since you left,” Ding Ningdie said to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu stood up from her seat, a bit speechless. It wasn’t like she was any more filial than Ning Shu.
She was just living with Bai Hanmo.
Ning Shu smelled the scent on Ding Ningdie. It seemed that she really liked the body cream.
“What are you talking to her for? Come here.” Bai Hanmo grabbed Ding Ningdie’s arm and pulled her away.
Ning Shu noticed that Bai Hanmo’s eyes were slightly bloodshot, and she silently hooked the corners of her lips.
Ding Ningdie was pulled away by Bai Hanmo, and Ning Shu sat back down.
Because of Bai Hanmo’s noble status, he was seated at the front, while Ning Shu and Lian Min were seated further back.
Lian Min said to Ning Shu, “See? I told you your sister is petty. Even though she won in this situation, she insists on acting weak, as if others are picking on her. Her words have hidden barbs.”
Ning Shu replied calmly, “That’s just her way.”
She always positioned herself as the victim, as if she were the most innocent person around.
Whatever she did was forgivable, and if anyone confronted her, they were seen as heartless and unreasonable.
With all their wealth, nobility, and power, how could they feel justified in arguing with her?
If they didn’t let it go, they weren’t noble or kind.
Ning Shu was very familiar with Ding Ningdie’s tactics, always trying to use those around her to get her way.
She looked as if she might faint at any moment, trembling and on the edge, but never actually falling.
The auction began, and Ning Shu sat up straight, hoping the land wouldn’t go to the Lian family again.
A glance out of the corner of her eye showed Lian Min’s calm expression, and she noticed the Lian family’s older brothers sitting in the front row. It seemed Lian Min had really done something to hold them back.
“You didn’t leak your family’s bidding price, did you?”
Ning Shu nudged Lian Min with her elbow. Lian Min looked at her. “No way. My brothers would kill me.”
“Then why are you so calm?”
“What’s meant to be will be,” Lian Min said nonchalantly. “Besides, this land isn’t guaranteed to make money.”
Ning Shu felt a bit let down and clicked her tongue twice.
The bidding ended with Bai Hanmo winning the land at just a little more than the Lian family’s bid.
He secured the land for 12 billion.
Wow, this land was worth more than the Ding family’s company.
In less than half a year, Bai Hanmo had spent over 20 billion, and now the Ding family’s company was practically an empty shell. Bai Hanmo’s win on the land meant 12 billion was gone.
Ning Shu couldn’t help but smirk as the faces of the two Lian brothers darkened.
