87: Take the flowers first
“What do you think of a large flat?”
Xu Zimo’s sudden question left Tang Xinyi, who was already confused, even more bewildered.
She originally thought Xu Zimo was just mentioning it casually, but from his tone, it sounded as if he had already planned which house to buy?
“No, no need, there’s no need to buy another one.”
She hastily refused, even grabbing Xu Zimo’s arm, seemingly afraid that he would actually go and buy another one.
“Alright then.”
Xu Zimo seemed to agree reluctantly, then asked, “What’s your card number?”
“I, I have money, I can buy it.”
Tang Xinyi obviously couldn’t accept it.
“I know, but that’s our shared home, it’s normal for me to contribute a share, isn’t it? Besides, for the safety of Uncle and Auntie, this matter cannot be delayed.”
In the end, Tang Xinyi still compromised.
Yes.
If not for herself, she had to consider her parents.
Afterward, Xu Zimo got out of the car and walked to the side, making a call to his bank’s exclusive customer service.
Not long after.
“Ding!”
Tang Xinyi picked up her phone, and even before unlocking it, her eyes widened instantly upon seeing the bank’s text message.
So many zeros, it seemed like only in Chengdu could she see such a number.
This is… how much?!
She thought she had seen it wrong, so she unlocked her phone and counted carefully again.
Finally, she confirmed it.
Ten million!
It was actually ten million?!
Tang Xinyi’s hand holding the phone was trembling slightly.
“Has it arrived?”
Xu Zimo returned to the car after finishing his call.
“Why did you transfer so much money?”
Tang Xinyi asked with a trembling voice, her face showing panic instead of surprise.
It was too much!
This left her at a loss for what to do.
“Zimo, what’s your card number? I’ll transfer it back to you.”
Her gaze towards Xu Zimo even carried a hint of pleading.
“Listen to me first.”
Xu Zimo held her hands and then said in a calm tone, “I have seriously considered this ten million.”
“Besides furnishing our new home, you also need to buy yourself a car for commuting, and Uncle and Auntie are getting older, we can’t keep making them look for work, can we?”
“But, it doesn’t need to be this much…”
Even when her parents were mentioned, Tang Xinyi still shook her head.
“The rest will be our little private fund, and from now on… the financial power of our home will be entirely entrusted to you,” Xu Zimo said meaningfully.
“Little private fund.”
“Our home.”
“Financial power.”
Every word instantly colored Tang Xinyi’s face with the unique shyness and sweetness of a Little Beloved Wife.
Seeing this, Xu Zimo struck while the iron was hot and continued, “Life is still long, and there will be many places where money is needed. If it’s not enough, don’t hide it, remember to tell me.”
“Enough, it’s enough, how could it not be enough?”
Tang Xinyi immediately decided that she would never betray Xu Zimo’s trust, and from now on, she intended to meticulously record every expense.
By the time they arrived at Tang Xinyi’s home, it was already four in the afternoon.
Xu Zimo went up with her.
Tang Rong didn’t go out today, mainly because he was afraid of further incidents, and there still needed to be a man in the house.
Chen Yaqin was sitting on a small stool, shelling edamame.
The door opened.
“Zimo is here.”
Chen Yaqin immediately stood up, her face full of smiles.
However, seeing her daughter return so early made her a little puzzled, especially… with a document bag in her hand.
“Uncle, Auntie.”
After exchanging greetings, Tang Rong said, “Come over and have some tea.”
“Alright.”
Xu Zimo walked over and sat on the chair opposite him, took a sip from the teacup, “Good tea.”
“It’s just ordinary tea leaves.”
The two chatted casually.
Meanwhile, Chen Yaqin’s gaze fell on the document bag in her daughter Tang Xinyi’s hand.
Could it be… she resigned?!
Of course, she didn’t object to her daughter dating Xu Zimo, but if she quit her job because of the relationship, she felt it wasn’t appropriate.
So she asked, “What’s this?”
Tang Xinyi glanced at Xu Zimo, knowing that this matter couldn’t be hidden, and said, “I took a day off today, and Zimo and I… bought a new house.”
“Ah? So fast?”
Chen Yaqin was full of surprise.
Didn’t they just mention it last night?
Normally, buying a house is a big deal, and one should compare many aspects before making a decision.
She already had the document bag, so they couldn’t have already bought it, could they?
Chen Yaqin was full of curiosity, “Let me see.”
Tang Xinyi, of course, couldn’t refuse and handed her the document bag.
Chen Yaqin went to wash her hands before taking it, saying, “When buying a house now, you have to consider the location, try to buy a school district house, so it’s convenient for the child to go to school later…”
Her words quickly stopped, her gaze fixed on the house purchase contract.
Green Tea Golf Town.
She wasn’t too clear about this, but the house area written on it greatly astonished her.
“423 square meters?!”
Chen Yaqin directly exclaimed in surprise.
Originally, since her daughter and Xu Zimo were together, they would need a wedding house, so when Xu Zimo brought it up last night, she didn’t object.
But she never expected them to buy such a large house!
One had to know, their current old house was only 70 square meters, so wouldn’t this be six times that size?!
Tang Rong was also shocked, looking at Xu Zimo opposite him in surprise.
But then he heard Xu Zimo say, “Auntie, Tang Xinyi and I were thinking that you and Uncle could also move in, so the house needs to be bigger.”
“We move in?”
Not only Tang Rong, but even Chen Yaqin felt it was inappropriate, “No, no, it’s your new home as a young couple, why would we join in?”
Visiting the new house would be fine.
Moving in, they hadn’t considered that.
Of course, Xu Zimo’s filial piety touched both elders greatly.
“Oh my, how much would such a big house cost…”
Chen Yaqin sighed, continuing to look down the contract, and soon her eyes widened, filled with shock.
That’s not right.
How much is this?
She counted the first time, thinking she had miscounted, and even put on her glasses to count again.
“This… 12.99 million?!”
Chen Yaqin directly exclaimed again, losing her voice.
Moreover, there were also the written-out numbers, so it couldn’t possibly be wrong.
A house worth thirteen million?!
Tang Rong, who was making tea, almost scalded his hand.
Housing prices in Xingcheng were already cheap, so if Xu Zimo could afford a G-Wagen and a house worth one or two million, they wouldn’t be too surprised.
But.
That was thirteen million.
“Auntie, the price of the house isn’t important, what’s important is that you like it and live comfortably,” Xu Zimo said.
Those words made so much sense.
But, who wouldn’t like a thirteen-million-dollar mansion?!
“It’s too expensive…”
Chen Yaqin didn’t know what to say, only able to express such a sentiment.
