I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

```

"Alright, everyone disperse, there's nothing to see here. Who doesn't have an unwell relative at home, please just go!" Zhang Menglong began dispersing the crowd around.

After the commotion had died down, and it was around dinner time, the bystanders slowly cleared out, leaving only Zhang Menglong, Lu Yiyao, and three other girls.

One of them had been seen by Zhang Menglong before; she was Guo Yuqian, one of the ones who had come with her that day, and the remaining two must be Lu Yiyao's other roommates.

"Yiyi, are you alright?"

"Ah, it's all because of Xinlan. We said not to tell Yiyi. She's definitely going to be upset knowing this."

"But we can't just let Yiyi's father keep causing a scene, can we?"

"Enough, let's not argue about it. It's not your fault," Lu Yiyao tried to compose herself, "Let me introduce them to you. This is Chen Bing, and this is Zhou Xinlan."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Zhang Menglong." Zhang Menglong nodded with a smile towards the two girls. In terms of looks, all three of Lu Yiyao's roommates were rather exquisite, and they all seemed to be the outgoing type. Perhaps it was because of living with them that Lu Yiyao had become more and more cheerful.

"With all this disturbance, you probably don't feel like eating anymore, right? How about we do it another day," Zhang Menglong could tell that Lu Yiyao's mood didn't seem very good at the moment.

"Yes, that's fine, and thank you for bringing Yiyi back safely, and for helping her out so much," Guo Yuqian said, "You wouldn't believe how scary it was the first time Yiyi's father came to our school. It was the first time we saw someone treat their own daughter like that."

"Yuqian, keep it down!" The other two girls made faces at each other on the side, clearly indicating that this was not the time for Lu Yiyao to hear more about it.

"I'm entrusting Yiyi to your care tonight," Zhang Menglong said, "Keep her company and make sure she doesn't stay alone."

"We know, we know. Honestly, we didn't expect you, a rich second generation, to be so reliable!" Guo Yuqian said.

"What, so in your eyes, all rich second generation have to be unreliable?" Zhang Menglong laughed. It seemed that the reputation of past rich kids wasn't very good.

"Anyway, you're different from them. Don't worry, seeing how well you did tonight, we will definitely put in a good word for you with Yiyi!"

"Hahaha, that's right, that's right. If there are any little gifts or something, maybe next time we could even slip her a 'love potion' and send her straight to your place!"

"Haha, right, right. It all depends on how you, Boss Zhang, bribe us. Although us four sisters have a bond that's stronger than diamonds, the right bribe could change everything!"

The atmosphere lightened up and the girls started to chatter again, and of course, they weren't really asking for gifts from Zhang Menglong; they were just using that topic to divert Lu Yiyao's attention from her father's situation.

"You three! I was just saying on the way here how you wouldn't betray me, and now I'm slapping my own face!" Sure enough, Lu Yiyao's mood had improved a bit, and a smile appeared on her face.

"As for the gifts, I've actually prepared them a long time ago!" Zhang Menglong went back to his car and took out the small boxes, "Originally, I planned to give them to you when we went out to eat today, but with what happened, let's not stand on ceremony. Consider it a welcome gift!"

"Ah, Zhang Menglong, you should've just come directly, why bring gifts? It's making us feel quite uncomfortable!"

"That's right, are we that materialistic? Being friends with Yiyi is all about like-mindedness!"

"Pfft, like-mindedness, my foot. It's about mutual attraction among outstanding people!"

The girls said that they didn't want the gifts, but their bodies were very honest as they quickly opened the boxes.

"Holy crap! Zhang Handsome, did you put the wrong thing in here? How come you've included your family's property deeds?"

"I've got a property deed here, too?!"

"Me too? What's going on? Wrong deeds in all three?"

"And there's a car key too!"

"This...this is a diamond necklace and earrings from that Australian designer's original brand! I've seen it in magazines, it has to be custom-made, and even the cheapest goes for hundreds of thousands of US Dollars!"

"Zhang Handsome? Is this what you call a welcome gift?"

"This...this is too valuable, we can't accept it!"

```

"You should really take these back; if I keep them, we won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Truly, when such valuable items were placed in front of them, the girls felt not joy but rather fear. They were only born into families that were slightly better than average, and these items far exceeded their spending power. The psychological pressure that came with holding such items was unimaginable.

"Once I give something away, I never take it back," Zhang Menglong pushed the boxes back toward them, "Yiyi told me that the last time her dad came, he took all the money she had, and it was only thanks to you girls helping her out that she managed to get through the tough times. These little things can't compare to that kind of friendship."

"But..."

"No buts," The straightforward nature of these girls quickly won Zhang Menglong's favor, and he felt quite at ease living with people like them, "If you really can't accept it, just consider these gifts as a reservation for you to be my bridesmaids in the future; that should be fine, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiyao's face turned bright red, "What are you talking about? When did I agree to marry you? Bridesmaids' gifts, bridesmaids your head, do you believe I would twist off your crown?!"

"Yo yo yo, bridesmaids' gifts!" The girls immediately started to tease.

"Hahaha, had you said that, wouldn't we have already accepted?"

"Exactly, Mr. Zhang's wedding, that's going to be the wedding of the century. These bridesmaids' gifts do match the scale of your event."

"Then we won't be polite!"

To tell the truth, with such gifts in front of them, no one could remain unmoved. But everyone has their limits and Zhang Menglong had used the most acceptable way for them to willingly accept these items; besides, to him, these items were not really a big deal.

"Someone will deliver the car tomorrow, and they will bring the fuel card and the maintenance card as well. But if you don't have a driver's license, there's nothing I can do about it!"

"Haha, don't underestimate us; we're all Mount Akina's Gods of Cars!"

"That's right, don't believe us? Let's go drag racing next time!"

"Cough cough cough!" The three glanced at each other, then simultaneously revealed mischievous smiles.

"We stand by our word, and we are quite pleased with your bribe. Starting today, Lu Yiyao, everything about you, from head to toe, inside and out, belongs to you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Haha, Yiyi, my sister is coming to visit me these next few days. She wants to stay in our dormitory tonight. Originally, Chen Bing wasn't going to come back, but when she heard that Zhang Menglong was treating us to dinner, she canceled all her plans and came directly. Now that she's here, you can't possibly bear to let Chen Bing stay at a hotel by herself, right?"

"Why don't you let Zhang Menglong find you a place tonight? He has so many houses, taking you in for one night won't be a problem."

"Yes, yes, that's right, I need to take care of my sister now, so I'm heading up!"

"We're going too, we won't leave the door unlocked for you tonight!"

"Busy with studies, I'll take my leave!"

...

The girls made up a whole bunch of excuses on the spot and ended up truly locking Lu Yiyao out.

"Her sister is really coming over to stay tonight?"

"Zhang Menglong, is your head filled with shit? She doesn't have a damn sister!" Lu Yiyao's face was a mix of helplessness.

"Hahaha, I thought your fellowship was as solid as diamond? Where's the camaraderie and shared animosity?" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't it because of you! This is no ordinary gift, what you're offering is essentially a sugar-coated cannonball!"

"So, what do we do now?" Zhang Menglong asked.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"All my stuff is in the dormitory, and it looks like they're not going to let me in tonight, so I can only ask you to take me in," Lu Yiyao said with a pitiful tone.

A moment later, she revealed two sharp little tiger teeth, "But if you try anything tonight, I'll bite you!"

"I wouldn't dare, wouldn't dare..."
