    Chapter 475: The Mafia Fake Heiress's Comeback as Archery Champion (28)

    In the evening, thanks to Su Nan's careful planning, the four of them gathered for a barbecue in the villa's courtyard.

    While Tang Yi was busy skewering meat, Su Nan quietly slipped over to her side.

    "Su Nan, do you need something?"

    Little White Rabbit blinked her big eyes, looking innocent and easily fooled.

    Su Nan smiled and said, "Tang Yi, how about we make a bet?"

    "If you win, I'll treat you to coconut water."

    "If you lose, you treat me."

    Little White Rabbit took the bait and asked, "What are we betting on?"

    It didn’t matter what the bet was—the important thing was that she shouldn’t be sticking around as a third wheel…

    Su Nan casually pointed to the metal skewers in Tang Yi’s hand and said, "Let’s go with these."

    "Guess whether it's odd or even."

    "Odd means I win, even means you win."

    The game wasn't anything new, but it got the job done.

    Tang Yi counted carefully for a long time, and when she reached the last skewer, her eyes lit up!

    "Su Nan, there are 42!"

    "You lost!"

    He'd lost the bet, but he was still beaming. He said, "Tang Yi, looks like you’re the lucky one."

    "On the way here, I remember there was someone selling fresh coconuts right around the corner at the intersection. It’s only about a ten-minute walk."

    "How about I treat you to one?"

    Just like that, without any effort, Tang Yi was talked into going by Su Nan.

    As they were leaving, Su Nan made sure to tell Chi Che, adding specifically, "Brother Chi, I’ll bring some back for you too!"

    "Heh heh, the BBQ is all yours now, you and Tang Qing!"

    He truly was the world’s most dedicated and conscientious wingman!

    Once again, he had set up another chance for his good buddy!

    His flashy move was hard to miss.

    Tang Qing watched with a faint smile, then turned to Chi Che beside her and asked, "How did you and Su Nan meet?"

    Chi Che: "We’ve known each other since we were kids."

    "Grew up in the same neighborhood."

    Tang Qing added, "It seems… you two get along pretty well."

    With her hair half-tied up, Tang Qing was carefully brushing oil onto the baking tray.

    She worked attentively, her expression showing no noticeable change, as if making casual conversation, she continued, “Just now, Su Nan deliberately sent Tang Yi away…”

    “This is the second time.”

    It was the same on the day of the birthday party.

    Having long sensed that Su Nan’s intentions were not straightforward, Tang Qing deliberately looked up at this moment.

    Her eyes met Chi Che’s across the space, a smile touching the corners of her eyes as she slowly asked, “Why did Su Nan do that?”

    “Chi Che, do you know the reason?”

    Of course, he knew.

    The eldest young master of the Chi family paused his grilling movements.

    Almost without thinking, Chi Che looked up, gazing somewhat blankly at Tang Qing before him.

    The sea breeze gently brushed past her brows and eyes. Gazing into those eyes… in just an instant, Chi Che could already hear his own racing heart.

    That fluttery feeling again!

    It was too obvious, impossible to hide.

    Su Nan could naturally guess his feelings too…

    Unusually, Chi Che’s words became hesitant, and the system-measured affection level started spiking at this moment!

    He said, “Maybe it’s because…”

    “I lo—”

    Before he could finish speaking,

    right at that moment, an unexpected visitor arrived outside the villa’s courtyard!

    Zhuang Yangqiu.

    The creaking sound of the courtyard gate being pushed open just happened to cut off the words Chi Che was about to say.

    Choking back his feelings, the young master stared at the newcomer with frustration, and he asked in surprise, “Why are you here!”

    Zhuang Yangqiu replied, “Here on business.”

    Still confused, Chi Che held the grilling brush looking confused.

    He asked again, “Coming here specifically to handle business so late at night?”

    You did this on purpose, didn't you?

    Did he come here specifically to interrupt?

    Zhuang Yangqiu said, “Yes.”

    As love rivals, Zhuang Yangqiu then accurately dropped a bombshell on the eldest young master!

    Zhuang Yangqiu said, “Mr. Chi, there’s something I think I should inform you about.”

    "The villa you rented online is actually mine."

    "And as the landlord, I never received any rental contract for this villa."

    "Strictly speaking, this counts as illegal trespassing... into a private residence."

    As Zhuang Yangqiu's words fell,

    Game over!

    Dead silence fell!

    Realizing what Zhuang Yangqiu had just said, for a moment, Young Master Chi wished the ground would swallow him whole.

    Before burying himself, he might as well drag Su Nan, that troublemaker, down with him!

    And this is what he called foolproof?

    Goddamn it!

    He'd never been this embarrassed in his entire life...

    And it just had to happen in front of Tang Qing!

    By the time Tang Yi and Su Nan returned to the villa, carrying coconuts,

    another person had appeared in the courtyard—the villa's actual owner, Zhuang Yangqiu.

    The group sat together, all taking a look at the property information on Zhuang Yangqiu's phone; the whole scene was almost laughable.

    After double-checking the house number on the property deed, Tang Yi sighed, "Unbelievable! What a coincidence! So, when Su Nan was looking for a place online, he actually ran into a fraudulent agent."

    "They stole Zhuang Yangqiu's villa information, charged a daily rental fee, and made a profit?"

    Su Nan, at this moment, couldn't look anyone in the eye, just like Chi Che.

    Under everyone's gaze, Su Nan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm filing a complaint! I have to file a complaint!"

    "Damn it, making a fool out of me like this..."

    Playing him was one thing, but they had to recommend the villa of Brother Chi's love rival!

    The awkwardness was off the charts—it was painfully obvious.

    Trying to salvage some dignity for Brother Chi, Su Nan awkwardly added, "Look... this really isn't on Brother Chi."

    "It's just that, once the words were out, there was no taking them back..."

    Once he started boasting, he couldn't exactly take it back.

    "Brother Chi was just backed into a corner by me."

    With every word Su Nan spoke, Young Master Chi's expression grew darker...

    He should've just come clean from the start.

    Broke, but still putting on airs.

    Putting on a show was bad enough, but getting exposed was another.

    The one who called them out happened to be Zhuang Yangqiu!

    The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Chi Che once again shot a fierce, death glare at Su Nan!

    At that moment, Tang Qing spoke up, "I knew as soon as I entered the door."

    "You didn’t recognize the flowers at the entrance, and you didn't know the villa’s layout. It seems like, just like me, this is your first time in this villa."

    They'd been found out this whole time?

    Su Nan was stunned once again and blurted out stupidly, "Huh? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

    If she had said something sooner, they wouldn’t have ended up making fools of themselves in front of Zhuang Yangqiu…

    Tang Qing: "I just wanted to know exactly what your purpose was in going through all this trouble to bring me to the beach."

    Without hesitation, Su Nan shot back: "Because Brother Chi likes you!"

    Bombshell!
