"Silly girl, have you gone stupid?"
Xu Fan gave Xia Xiaodie a disdainful look when he saw her anxious demeanor.
"Your connections are stronger than mine. Here is nine million, take it and help me buy a house. I'll rent it to Shi Lei and the others."
"What?"
In addition to being nervous, Xia Xiaodie felt a hint of anticipation, but upon hearing Xu Fan reveal the truth, her face immediately fell.
"Hey, not happy about it? If you're not, I can ask someone else."
Seeing her reaction, Xu Fan made as if to take back the briefcase.
"No, that's not it..."
Xia Xiaodie hurriedly snatched it back, pouting with a look of grievance as she muttered, "Sigh, helping a classmate is the right thing to do..."
Xu Fan curled his lip, not paying too much attention. He then turned and said to Shi Lei, "Alright, Shi Lei, it's getting late, you'd better hurry and find a hotel for your uncle and aunt to stay in for now. In a few days, once I've bought the house, you can move them in."
