Can Xia Zheng be any less sarcastic!
Lin Yuan, with a darkened face, stuffed the deed that documented the house transfer back into his hand: "What's this for? Didn't Lao Fan say I could choose a house when I had time? Why did you suddenly buy it for me?"
It indeed was bought for her, because the deed clearly stated Lin Yuan as the beneficiary, and it even had the official seal of the Zhuma Town Yamen, so it was unlikely to be a fake. Besides, Xia Zheng was the Young Master of the Fuman Building; did he really need to deceive a little village girl?
Xia Zheng didn't expect her to return the deed. This was so unlike her greedy nature. Didn't she rip up his IOU with relish that day, so why was she refusing it now?
