Chapter 716: Chapter 431: Collecting the House in Progress, Swan and Shrew_2

“Yeah, let’s post it in our class group chat later, to show them what the so-called goddess from high school looks like now.”

“It’s not just us. I bet our homeroom teacher and other teachers would feel ashamed to have taught a student like her.”

“……”

Liew Menglu’s recent mention of “inconvenience” caused Fang Shan to feel a bit humiliated, and with this incitement, she got a bit carried away and stood up decisively.

“Fine, I’ll go take a look.”

She had never been to Zone F, but she knew that Zone F had the best geographic location and orientation in Silver Lake Bay, so she roughly knew where it was.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Zone F, she discovered there was an access control system, which wasn’t necessary for entering Zones A or B.

Fang Shan didn’t understand, she swiped her resident access card, and the prompt that came back was, “Illegal entry! Illegal entry!”

Then she tried her fingerprint and facial recognition, and still, the piercing “Illegal entry!” sounded off.

“What the hell?”

Fang Shan frowned, questioning how she could be illegally entering when she was a property owner here.

At this moment, a security guard came out of the security booth, politely saying, “Hello ma’am, are you going to Zone F?”

“Yes, open the gate.”

Fang Shan, displeased, thought to herself how could Silver Lake Bay have such blind security; isn’t it obvious what she wants?

“May I ask which number in Zone F are you going to visit? Are you a property owner in Zone F, or do you have friends or relatives there?”

The security guard remained courteous.

“None of those.”

“I’m sorry then, you need to be invited or authorized to go to Zone F,” the guard said with a smile.

Fang Shan felt the security guard was particularly low in EQ and said coldly, “You say I can’t go in and so I can’t? I am a property owner here, and you are just a security guard. What right do you have to stop me?”

The security guard explained calmly: “Only property owners of Zone F or their friends and relatives can come in. Since you don’t have the access card for Zone F and your face and fingerprint were not recognized, we can’t let you through.”

“Call your supervisor!”

Fang Shan had lived here for quite a while but had never met such an ungrateful security guard; she was the owner, and what right did a pathetic guard have to stop her?

At that time, another security guard emerged from the booth, looking a bit older, about 40, and Fang Shan noticed that there were two guards in this security booth while others only had one.

“Hello ma’am, I am the deputy chief of security, my name is Zhang, and I am very sorry for the unpleasant experience, but Zone F is only for Zone F property owners and their friends and relatives to enter and exit, owners from other areas cannot go there.”

The middle-aged security guard also showed high professional standards, not arguing with Fang Shan.

“We all live in the same community, why can people from Zone F enter other zones, but we from other zones can’t enter Zone F? Are you practicing discrimination? Believe it or not, I will expose you in the owners’ group chat!”

Fang Shan was quite angry, yet the security guard surnamed Zhang, the deputy chief, remained unmoved.

“I’m sorry, ma’am.”

“Fine, fine, fine! I know what you’re doing!”

Fang Shan stood with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at them: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to; did you lease that building in Zone F to someone else? Are there lots of fake socialites taking photos in that building now? You’re engaging in illegal profits. Do you believe I will expose your property management?”

“Let’s see if you will survive once the owners of that building find out!”

Deputy Chief Zhang wore a grin on his face, but in his heart, he cursed, ‘What kind of crazy woman is this, spewing such madness?’

As the stalemate continued, Deputy Chief Zhang had no choice but to report the issue to his superiors, as it would be problematic if it escalated to physical confrontation.

Just then, a sightseeing cart happened to pass by, and Deputy Chief Zhang saw that it was Manager Fu from customer service; he instantly felt relieved, saluted, and quickened his pace toward him.

“Manager Fu, I have a situation over here…….”

While still in the midst of her rant, Fang Shan hadn’t finished her venting when that person ran off; she was about to scold him for his lack of manners when she caught sight of Liew Menglu on the sightseeing cart.

Fang Shan’s brows furrowed; was the photo shoot over already? But aside from the driver and the woman dressed in the property management uniform, why were there only two people?

Aren’t these “socialites” always in groups? Can two people really get a good deal by teaming up?

Liew Menglu merely gave her a cursory glance before looking away, maintaining an air of elegance.

If Fang Shan was an unreasonable shrew, then Liew Menglu was a proud swan who disdained to greet such a person.

Fang Shan’s face flushed with anger; what was that expression about? Was she looking down on me?!

What right does a fake socialite have to look down on me!

After Deputy Chief Zhang reported back to Lily, Lily turned her head to Liew Menglu: “Miss Liew, is that friend of yours?”

“High school classmate, not close,” replied Liew Menglu indifferently.

“I understand. I’m really sorry, Mrs. Liew, for the unpleasant experience. Please allow me to handle it from here.”

Lily walked up to Fang Shan from the car, her demeanor more serious now compared to the gentle approach she had towards Liew Menglu earlier.

“Hello, ma’am, I am the community service manager. My surname is Fu. According to what we know, you are not a property owner in Area F, nor have you received an invitation from one. Please refrain from disrupting our work any further.”

At this moment, Fang Shan’s confidence had waned, but clinging to the principle of not showing defeat even if losing, she raised her voice and said, “Fine, I didn’t receive an invitation. Then I ask you, who is she?”

Fang Shan pointed at Liew Menglu in the car.

She still insisted on believing that Liew Menglu was there just to check in and take photos.

“Lady, please stop interfering with our work.”

At this point, Lily stopped being polite. In their eyes, there was a distinction between homeowners as well; what comparison could there be between those paying property fees of five to six thousand a year and those paying a hundred thousand?

What’s more, this was the owner of F01, their serviced client.

“Please answer my question directly!”

The more Lily evaded, the more Fang Shan felt that she had something to hide.

“Mrs. Liew is the girlfriend of the Area F homeowner, and of course, she is here by the owner’s authorization and invitation.”

Lily stared straight at Fang Shan: “On the contrary, it’s you who have been repeatedly disrupting our work.”

?

Fang Shan’s face changed color, and after a pause, she asked, “Isn’t she here to check in for photos? Isn’t this venue rented?”

“Mrs. Liew is here to assist the F01 homeowner with property handover.”

“F01, the penthouse of that building?”

Fang Shan’s head spun dizzyingly, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Madam, our work is very precise, and if you continue this nonsense, we will have to call the police,” Lily said with a serious face.

Fang Shan’s face turned the color of liver, stiffly turning her head to look at Liew Menglu, only to find Meng Lu paying her no heed, simply looking forward.

F01, the seventy million penthouse, and the owner is… her boyfriend…. What is all this?

She thought she was going to reveal Liew Menglu’s so-called high society persona, but instead, she got splashed in the face by reality.

Seeing Fang Shan no longer putting up resistance, Lily quickly walked over to Liew Menglu, apologized once again, then took the passenger seat of the tourist car and left the scene like that.

Fang Shan was left standing there, her phone buzzing nonstop, with onlookers in the group chat mentioning her.

[Shanshan, why haven’t you sent the battlefield update yet?]

[Yeah, yeah, hurry up and show us. What are those “socialites” really like behind the scenes?]

[Did Liew Menglu turn green when she saw you coming?]

[Eh, why isn’t Shanshan replying, it’s been half an hour now, right?]

[It can’t be that Liew Menglu has paid her off, right?]

[No way, Shanshan’s husband can afford a house in Silver Lake Bay, how could she accept a bribe from Liew Menglu?]

Seeing these messages, Fang Shan was so angry she nearly gritted her teeth to dust, and it was the taunts from these foolish women that had stupidly driven her toward Area F.

She was someone who cared about face too, and with the embarrassing situation, she did not wish to explain further, simply turning off her phone to keep it out of sight, out of mind.

However, her friends from the group chat, worried something had befallen her, kept calling.

After several calls in succession, she had no choice but to answer.

“Shanshan, what exactly happened? Why aren’t you picking up the phone?”

The speaker was named Xiaotong, with whom she had a pretty good relationship.

“I was busy just now and didn’t hear it,” replied Fang Shan casually.

“Oh, the group has been speculating if something happened to you. So, how did it go with Liew Menglu, did you get the photos?”

“Didn’t get any, ah forget it, I’ve got something here, I’ll talk about it later.”

Fang Shan wore a gloomy expression.

She didn’t feel like talking about it at all–today had been humiliating enough. Who would have thought that Liew Menglu actually did end up with a wealthy partner, and while intending to catch a clown, she turned out to be the clown herself?

What made it even more infuriating was that Liew Menglu hadn’t even said a single word the whole time, from start to finish it was the security guard and that service manager speaking on her behalf.

“Shanshan, what exactly happened? Tell me,” Xiaotong pressed.
