90: The sister-in-law became a breakthrough

The journey of just over ten minutes took Tang Xinyao half an hour due to rush hour traffic.

After entering the residential area, she felt a bit bewildered.

Especially when she saw the courtyard gate open and Chen Yaqin walk out, her eyes widened even further.

"Mom?!"

Heaven knows, she had just been wondering if she had come to the wrong place.

This was a villa district!

Her older sister's new home was actually a villa?!

Oh my goodness!

Then, at Chen Yaqin'scall, Tang Xinyao entered the front courtyard and immediately froze in place again.

In fact, most villas in China don't decorate their garden areas; many simply lay tiles to save trouble, at most planting some flowers and plants and placing stone tables and chairs in the yard for embellishment.

To truly decorate a garden, even just to create a presentable rockery, would cost hundreds of thousands.

If landscaping was also involved... that would be at least a million yuan to start.

Some valuable trees could even cost hundreds of thousands each.

There are many people who can afford a villa but not the decoration.

Clearly, a yard costing over a million yuan still had quite an impact on people.

Especially for ordinary families.

"Why are you just standing there? Isn't it hot?" Seeing her stop, Chen Yaqin urged.

"Oh, oh."

Tang Xinyao snapped back to reality and quickly moved closer to her Biological Mother, asking, "Mom? Is this Older Sister's new home?!"

"Your Brother-in-law bought it."

Chen Yaqin said, a hint of wistfulness in her voice.

It wasn't surprising that her Younger Daughter would ask such a question; even she still felt a sense of unreality.

Just now, Xu Zimo had mentioned several times that he wanted them to move in.

But how could they live there with peace of mind?

If her daughter truly had a child, she could come over to help take care of it.

"Brother-in-law bought it, huh."

Thinking of the car Xu Zimo drove and how generously he bought her electronics, Tang Xinyao had a strong feeling... Brother-in-law is so rich!!!

Upon entering the house, the cool air from the central air conditioning swept over her, like a clear spring, instantly dispelling the summer heat from outside, leaving Tang Xinyao feeling completely comfortable and at ease.

Looking around, the new Chinese-style decor inside was elegant and tasteful, immediately making Tang Xinyao's eyes light up.

This house is just too beautiful!

She hadn't thought about living here.

But, for her, a Younger Sister-in-law, to come visit, that would be perfectly normal, right?!

So, the first thing Tang Xinyao did upon entering the living room was call out to Xu Zimo: "Brother-in-law."

The girl's voice was crisp and sweet.

"You're here, come and sit down."

Xu Zimo greeted her with a smile, his demeanor appropriate.

The new home had nothing yet, but he had just ordered Xu Ji Seafood and some fruit.

The seafood hadn't arrived yet.

The fruit had already been delivered.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Tang Xinyao immediately ran to sit beside her Older Sister and excitedly linked arms with her, her eyes still surveying the surroundings.

She suddenly remembered her classmate's request.

If she could bring her classmate here... So, she secretly glanced at Xu Zimo again.

This was Brother-in-law's house.

So, it naturally had to be with Brother-in-law's permission.

How should she bring it up?

"You must be hungry, have some fruit first. The takeout will still take some time to arrive."

Xu Zimo pushed the fruit box towards her.

He had ordered seafood, and it was freshly made, so it would take at least an hour.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law."

Tang Xinyao was truly hungry; she picked up a fork, speared a piece of mango, and ate it, her small mouth quickly full.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you..."

Chen Yaqin gently scolded and reminded her from the side.

Her two daughters truly had completely different personalities.

One was quiet, the other lively.

However, Tang Xinyao paid no attention, continuously stuffing food into her mouth without any regard for her image.

An extra-large fruit platter was actually finished by her alone.

Half of the second box was also eaten.

When she rubbed her small belly with a satisfied expression, she saw the delivered seafood takeout.

All sorts of shrimp, crab, fish... it looked so delicious, but her stomach was already full.

"Can you save some for me...?" Tang Xinyao pleaded pitifully.

Wuwu! ~

She wished she hadn't eaten so much fruit.

Given the amount Xu Zimo ordered, four people definitely couldn't finish it. Of course, she wouldn't be given leftovers; it was portioned out from the beginning.

"Brother-in-law, can I go look at the rooms?"

With only Tang Xinyao idle, her curiosity naturally couldn't be contained.

"Of course, you can."

"Yay! Thank you, Brother-in-law!"

Tang Xinyao quickly ran off, and soon, her exclamations could be heard from all over the house.

After running up and down, she returned to the living room.

She then heard her parents and Brother-in-law seemingly discussing moving.

Mom and Dad are moving here to live?!

A hint of excitement immediately flashed in Tang Xinyao's eyes.

Does that mean she could also come along?

Unfortunately, her parents seemed to be constantly refusing... The light in her eyes dimmed again.

Her hopes were dashed.

She slumped into a seat, becoming listless, her earlier excitement gone.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Xinyi asked, puzzled.

"Nothing..." Tang Xinyao just shook her head.

However, Xu Zimo seemed to have noticed something and said to her, "Are you thinking of moving in?"

If they hadn't been discussing this topic just now, it would have been inappropriate for him to bring it up, but now it seemed like he was looking for an opening.

"Can I?"

Tang Xinyao immediately looked up at him.

"Of course, you can."

"Really?!"

Before Tang Xinyao could get excited, her Biological Mother, Chen Yaqin, tapped her on the head: "Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Mom!"

Tang Xinyao was very displeased and retorted, "Brother-in-law said he's very busy, wouldn't it be great if I moved in to keep Older Sister company? Besides, Older Sister and I are used to sleeping together."

"I don't care, I just want to come and stay with Older Sister!"

The young girl's heart yearned for a better life.

Even though she knew it might be inappropriate, with such a beautiful large villa to live in, who would want to squeeze into that cramped little room again?

She had just seen it; every room had a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom.

This was simply her dream house!

She couldn't even imagine how happy she would be if she could live here every day!

She was determined to live here.

No one could stop her.

If her parents forbade it, she would just come directly after class.

"You child..."

Chen Yaqin was about to scold her again, but Tang Xinyao nimbly ran off, shouting, "I want to, I want to!"

"Auntie, let's just settle it."

When Xu Zimo persuaded her again, Chen Yaqin was no longer so firm. Seeing her waver, Xu Zimo added, "Tang Xinyi and I are usually very busy. The new house still lacks many things, and we might not be home during the day. We'll need you, Auntie, to take care of things here and receive deliveries..."

"This..."

Chen Yaqin hesitated, but also felt that her continuous refusal was a bit too affected, so she could only agree: "Alright, I'll come over here tomorrow to wait."

"Yay!!!"

Perhaps the most excited person was Tang Xinyao.
