Free Web NovelChapter 872: Chapter 868: Xiao Erren Comes Knocking
"Setup?!" Melinda furrowed her brow, finding Xiao Tian’s explanation quite novel. She had seen some masters of disguise before, but she had never thought it could be so complex.
"That’s right!"
Xiao Tian confirmed, "From the life story to the character traits, and even the small habits or catchphrases in specific contexts, all of these details need to be as polished as possible to ensure there’s no mistake."
Lin Bingxuan took a deep breath, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Is there enough time? According to what you said, accomplishing this series of tasks will certainly take a considerable amount of time, right?"
"Although it sounds complicated, it doesn’t actually take that much time," Xiao Tian explained. "As long as it’s trained in a specific way, achieving all this isn’t too difficult."
"When do you plan to act?" Seeing persuasive efforts were ineffective and not having a better solution, Melinda had no choice but to ask.
Xiao Tian understood that this was a tacit acceptance of his proposal, pondered for a moment, and then abruptly raised his head: "Now!"
After saying that, he walked straight toward the study, leaving Lin Bingxuan and Melinda standing there for a moment before they resignedly headed to the kitchen.
...
About half an hour later, the villa’s front door was softly knocked. Melinda immediately stopped what she was doing, and looked at Lin Bingxuan with a questioning glance, wondering if she had misheard.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Another three knocks confirmed that neither had misheard, and they both heightened their vigilance.
Right now, whoever might come by, and without an appointment, Lin Bingxuan and Melinda had no clue who it could be.
After removing her apron, Melinda secretly gathered her True Qi and walked toward the door, while behind her, Lin Bingxuan was also on guard, ready to handle any sudden occurrences.
As she walked to the door, Melinda paused, looked back at Lin Bingxuan, and only after seeing her nod in confirmation did she gently open the door.
As soon as she opened it, before she could inquire about the visitor’s purpose, a Black Shadow suddenly charged in, almost colliding head-on with Melinda.
Feeling both fortunate and annoyed by the visitor’s lack of manners, Melinda mentally marked him as an uninvited guest.
The person barged in without a word and started examining the villa’s furnishings, occasionally nodding with satisfaction and saying, "Not bad, not bad!"
This scene made both Lin Bingxuan and Melinda quite displeased as they quietly sized up the newcomer.
From his appearance, he looked like a rather scholarly middle-aged man, standing no taller than 1.78 meters, with round-rimmed glasses perched on his nose and a black leather briefcase in hand, giving off an overall aura of a refined scholar.
Of course, combining his recent behavior, that aura vanished without a trace!
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Although displeased at heart, Lin Bingxuan still inquired politely. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Oh, I’m Xiao Erren, the owner of this villa. You two must be the servants here, right?" He spoke while pointedly glancing at Lin Bingxuan’s apron, asserting with great certainty.
"You just said... you’re the owner of this house?!" Lin Bingxuan asked incredulously, feeling that the person before her was either crazy or crazy, otherwise how could he speak such nonsense?!
The self-proclaimed Xiao Erren, however, nodded confidently, "That’s right, this is my newly purchased house. I’ll give you two three days to pack up and move out."
He continued, "Of course, if you feel like you don’t have a suitable job, you can stay. I’ll pay you three thousand a month. Consider it, alright?"
As he spoke, Xiao Erren had already placed his briefcase on the coffee table and settled into the couch, crossing his legs in a posture befitting a villa owner.
Suppressing her anger, Melinda said, "I think you might be in the wrong place; this place has never been for sale."
"No, no, the sign at the entrance is so big, how could I be mistaken?"
Xiao Erren shook his head in denial, then added, "I should remind you, if you want to stay and continue working, you’d better not speak to me in that tone."
"Ha..." Melinda laughed in anger, "Are you sure your brain isn’t malfunctioning?!"
"You’re fired!" Xiao Erren immediately stood up, adjusting his glasses with a serious expression, "Pack your things right now and move out of here."
The commanding tone sounded quite convincing, but given Melinda’s character, there was no way she would take such aggravation.
Before she could react, Xiao Erren’s gaze had already shifted to Lin Bingxuan. After sizing her up, he said, "You’re quite good. I happen to be unmarried; perform well, and I might consider letting you become the lady of this villa."
Melinda’s face turned icy cold instantly. Those words toward Lin Bingxuan struck her even harsher than a direct attack on herself!
As a sister-like existence, Lin Bingxuan occupied a significant place in Melinda’s heart, not even slightly lesser than Xiao Tian. If she could maintain calm now, it would certainly be a strange situation.
With one quick step forward, Melinda had already gathered her True Qi, ready to grab and throw Xiao Erren out the door, but Lin Bingxuan intervened first.
Lin Bingxuan chuckled lightly, looking at Xiao Erren sitting on the sofa, teasingly saying, "Do you still want to continue with the act, Mr. Xiao Tian?"
"Xiao Tian?!"
Melinda’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Xiao Erren, then turned her gaze back to the confident Lin Bingxuan, feeling as if everything was somewhat unreal.
Could it be that she was dreaming?!
No, if it were a dream, she wouldn’t be aware she was dreaming...
As Melinda’s thoughts raced chaotically, she heard Lin Bingxuan analyze, "Xiao Erren? Ha, the one and two make big, two and person make Tian; doesn’t it all add up to Xiao Tian?"
Xiao Erren seemed utterly clueless, "What Xiao Tian, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Is he the former owner of the villa?" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Lin Bingxuan stomped a foot in frustration, "Are you getting deeper into the act?! The villa’s original owner is right in front of you; if you don’t recognize Xiao Tian, I can tell you he’s an unscrupulous person who dupes two women deeply in love with him into foolishness!"
The words shattered the calm of Xiao Erren, who was shaking his crossed legs on the sofa. Although panic flashed for only a moment, Lin Bingxuan and Melinda caught it precisely.
Reflecting on Xiao Erren’s previous panic, combined with Lin Bingxuan’s uncharacteristic remarks, Melinda finally understood, embellishing, "Bingxuan, you’re right. Xiao Tian is nothing but a complete..."
Before Melinda could finish her fierce sentence, Xiao Erren finally couldn’t stay seated anymore: "I’m wrong, I’m wrong!"
