Chapter 128: What will happen to this house in the future?
Although Yu Xiang complained about Huang Xiaochuan's wasteful spending, her actions betrayed her love for the house. Women are all like that, and besides, anyone would love a house like this.
After accompanying Yu Xiang to see this house today, Ji Mei realized that Huang Xiaochuan was not as simple as he seemed on the surface; this guy was hiding his true intentions!
But Yu Xiang clearly said that he came from an ordinary working-class family, so where did he get so much money?
Ji Mei was full of questions.
Ji Mei was always a straightforward person. After thinking for a long time without figuring out the reason, she asked directly, "Huang Xiaochuan, did you buy this house? Where did you get so much money?"
Huang Xiaochuan chuckled and said, "Sister Mei, have you forgotten? What did I study? I studied economics, which is about how to make money."
Ji Mei was not satisfied with Huang Xiaochuan's answer at all. What a joke! There are plenty of people who study economics, but I've never seen anyone casually buy such a big house for their girlfriend.
If everyone knew that studying economics could make so much money, wouldn't everyone be scrambling to get in?
Seeing Huang Xiaochuan teasing her best friend, Yu Xiang quietly punched Huang Xiaochuan's shoulder to express her dissatisfaction.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mei saw all their intimate little actions. Oh my, this is such a display of affection, how can a single woman like me bear it?
However, to appease Ji Mei, Huang Xiaochuan said, "Sister Mei, do you believe what I'm saying? You'll have a house like this in the future. Let's make a bet: if you don't own a house within twenty years, I'll give you one."
Huang Xiaochuan's confidence stemmed from the fact that a medical doctoral student like Ji Mei, who graduated from a prestigious university, would certainly not be without a house in the future. He wanted to reassure Ji Mei and give her confidence, and also because he believed that housing would definitely not be a problem for someone like Ji Mei in the future.
Ji Mei laughed: "Then it's a deal. If I don't have a house in twenty years, you can just give me one like this!"
Huang Xiaochuan smiled and made a pinky promise with Ji Mei: "Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, no take-backs."
Yu Xiang watched the two play their childish game while laughing.
Since we've already bought the house, this is the only way. My little man is really something else! He's so young and he's already earned more money than most people can earn in a lifetime. Are some people just born that much more capable than others?
But I love this house no matter how I look at it. The rooms are so big, but I don't feel cramped at all. The balcony is so nice! And the kitchen and bathroom are great too! Everything is perfect!
After owning her own house, Yu Xiang's mindset began to change.
She has already started planning what kind of furniture to put in the room. The kitchen is still missing a lot of things, and she needs to buy them all so that she won't have to eat out anymore and can cook at home. Moreover, Yu Wei has said that Huang Xiaochuan's cooking skills are amazing, but she has never tasted them before. Now she has the chance.
At this moment, Yu Xiang looked at Huang Xiaochuan differently than usual; her eyes were practically melting with tears.
The three of them stayed in the house for more than an hour, mainly because Yu Xiang was reluctant to leave, so Huang Xiaochuan had to stay with her.
After Yu Xiang had roughly memorized the list of what was still missing from the house, the group temporarily left the house.
Actually, Huang Xiaochuan had a little ulterior motive when he brought Yu Xiang to see this house. He hoped that Yu Xiang could move here, since it was very close to her school, less than a ten-minute bike ride away, almost a straight road.
And he'll have the opportunity to move here. Men, you know! If you say you're not interested in that kind of thing, you're definitely sick.
Even if the house is far from my school, it doesn't matter. Riding a bike is good exercise!
However, this cannot be rushed; we must wait for the right opportunity.
After viewing the house, Huang Xiaochuan took Yu Xiang and Ji Mei to a food store. Yu Xiang promised Ji Mei that she would eat a giant ice cream bar, and she had to keep her promise!
The three of them then went shopping at a department store on Huaihai Road. Women who own a house are different; Yu Xiang was particularly interested in home furnishings, looking at them from one to another, and had a strong desire to buy them.
In the past, Yu Xiang would only look and dream about it, after all, back then she didn't even know where the house was! Where would she put it after buying it? It would be a waste of money. But now it's different. What color curtains should she use? What color and pattern should the bed sheets be? She wants to bring everything into her own house.
After lunch, Huang Xiaochuan took Yu Xiang back to school as usual.
After Huang Xiaochuan left, Ji Mei, who had been excited for half a day, finally had a chance to properly ask Yu Xiang a few questions.
"What's going on with you? Is your husband really a student? What does his family do?"
It's no wonder that Yu Xiang and Huang Xiaochuan could become a couple; their methods of deceiving people are almost identical.
"He went back to Suzhou during the summer after his college entrance exam last year. Coincidentally, his uncle received a large foreign trade order. Xiao Chuan is very good at foreign languages, so he helped his uncle secure the order. His uncle was so happy that he gave him a lot of commission. He probably used that money to buy the house!"
"His uncle is so good to him?" Ji Mei didn't quite believe this reason.
"Xiao Chuan grew up at his maternal grandmother's house. His uncle and aunt treated him like their own son. If it weren't for some things that happened back then, Xiao Chuan would have been adopted by his uncle."
"Oh, is that so? He has a rich uncle? Yu Xiang, how come you're so lucky! Not only is your boyfriend so handsome, but he also gave you a house. I'm so envious!"
Seeing that she had fooled Ji Mei, Yu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Ji Mei knew that her boyfriend had several million in savings, she wondered how scared she would be.
Not to mention her, she herself is still not quite used to it and is always worried about him.
But she said, "He just wastes money. What do you think about it? After we graduate and go back to work, this house will be unusable. Isn't that a waste?"
Ji Mei said nonchalantly, "Who cares? Anyway, you have your own house in Shanghai now, Yu Xiang. You can move out now. Isn't your house great? It even has a separate bathroom and bathtub. Taking a bath is so convenient."
Yu Xiang was taken aback. She hadn't really considered this issue before. Ji Mei's reminder made her think about it, but she still had some concerns and couldn't make up her mind yet.
Unexpectedly, a conflict in the dormitory that night made her decide to move out.
Back in her dorm in the afternoon, Yu Xiang washed her clothes as usual. While washing, she was thinking about how to decorate the house. To be honest, she didn't lack money. She hadn't touched the 31,000 yuan savings account that Huang Xiaochuan had given her.
Yu Xiang wouldn't use the money to buy clothes and shoes for herself. Most women at that time were skilled at managing their households, having learned these skills from their mothers since childhood. The conditions at that time forced every housewife to learn to be frugal and manage their household well, otherwise they would be in dire straits when they didn't know where their next meal would come from.
Yu Xiang was no exception. She was very frugal with herself, but she was always generous to Huang Xiaochuan. She would take out the money she had saved up for a long time to buy wool yarn to knit sweaters for Huang Xiaochuan. When they went out to eat or watch movies, Yu Xiang paid for everything. At that time, she had no idea that Huang Xiaochuan was so rich.
While washing clothes, Yu Xiang was lost in thought about what else was missing in the house. She didn't even realize that the clothes were almost torn to shreds until Ji Mei reminded her.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? You don't want these clothes anymore? You'll ruin them if you keep crumpling them!"
Yu Xiang then realized what was happening, quickly stopped what she was doing, and smiled apologetically at Ji Mei.
"Oh! No wonder. If my boyfriend gave me a big house, I might not even be as happy as you. I would be ecstatic!" Ji Mei said self-deprecatingly.
"Didn't my Xiaochuan say that you'll have a big house in the future? What are you worried about?" Yu Xiang comforted her best friend.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at him, look at him, always talking about my daughter, she really is a case of 'the daughter grows up and leaves home'!"
Yu Xiang was so angry that she splashed water directly on Ji Mei, and the two started playing around in the washroom.
