Chapter 116 - They Are Not Human

Shortly after, Ye Hao's phone buzzed with a new message.

Upon seeing the amount displayed, he immediately called Soong Leji.

“Ye Hao, you got the money, right?”

“Soong family's head, the Leng family head has given me a villa. And you're sending me this pittance?” Ye Hao's words made Soong Leji inwardly groan.

He also silently berated Leng Hongchang.

Leng Hongchang had gifted Ye Hao a villa without giving him any prior notice.

“Ye Hao, there's been a misunderstanding,” Soong Leji hastily explained, “That was just a little something for a meal, certainly not the full amount.”

“Oh, is that so?” Ye Hao responded and hung up the phone.

In the art of gift-giving, it's a major faux pas to underdeliver.

After a brief consultation, the Soong family's executives decided to give Ye Hao two hundred million.

Considering a villa's price tag started at one hundred million, and there was no telling if Leng Hongchang would cover the cost of furnishing, they opted to give Ye Hao the full amount in one fell swoop.

Soon enough, Ye Hao's phone chimed with the deposit notification.

He checked the figure and a smile spread across his face.

Two hundred million!

Without delay, Ye Hao transferred the entire sum to Tang Pianpian.

Tang Pianpian, upon receiving the notification, came running out, astonished.

“How did you come by such a large sum of money?”

“It was given to me by Soong Leji.”

“Okay then.”

“With this two hundred million, your company should be able to accelerate its growth.”

“Indeed.”

Leng Hongchang was nothing if not prompt.

Roughly an hour later, he called Ye Hao personally.

“The villa in the Sea of Love is ready for you. When would you like to move in?”

“What about the interior?”

“It's been exquisitely furnished already.”

“Tomorrow, then.”

“I'll arrange for the movers to come tomorrow.”

“There's no need for that, Leng Xue can help out.”

“Understood.”

After the call, Ye Hao went to the master bedroom.

“Pianpian, let's pack our things. We're moving tomorrow.”

“To where?”

“To the Sea of Love Villa District.”

“We're not children,” Momo retorted, her lips pursed in protest.

“You say you're not a child, but who was it that ate a lollipop last night?” Ye Hao teased.

“How did you know?” Momo's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

“Take a guess.”

“Just tell me!”

“Where's the fun in that?” Ye Hao quipped as he picked up a packet of documents and said to Leng Xue, “We should get going.”

“Mm-hmm.”

While in the car, Ye Hao sent a message to Xu Mengmeng.

“I've finished reviewing all the documents. Do you have anything new?”

Xu Mengmeng replied promptly, “You've already finished?”

“Yes.”

“I've dug up three more books from the library. Want me to bring them over later?”

“I'll be in class for another half hour or so. I'll message you then.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Ye Hao pocketed his phone, Leng Xue turned to him with a questioning look. “Who's the girl you're chatting with now?”

“Miss Leng, do you have to view me in that light?”

“How else should I view you?”

“Why do I find that question so unpleasant?”

“What's the deal with those three girls?”

“They've been entrusted to my care by someone else.”

“Entrusted to you?” Leng Xue's eyes widened in disbelief. “Are you joking?”

“See, I tell you the truth, and you doubt me,” Ye Hao responded with a sense of resignation.

“Fine, I believe you,” Leng Xue said, fixing her gaze on him. “But can you explain why someone would entrust three lovely girls to you?”

“Because I'm handsome.”

Leng Xue made a gagging face.

“What's that supposed to mean?”

“Handsome is the last word I'd associate with you.”

“You're blatantly lying.”

“You're dodging the question again.” Leng Xue suddenly had a realization. “Who exactly are those three girls?”

“I told you, you might not believe me.”

“I'll believe you.”

“Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

“In fact, they're not human.”

“Ye Hao, you're not taking this seriously.” Leng Xue lost her temper.
