138: Upgrade your housing? Buy a villa!

"That's not it," Lu Hanxiao said anxiously.

Su Mei only knew part of the story, not the whole picture.

Because she had no idea about the situation with Di Xiaoba, and neither did Zhang Yu.

Su Mei's intentions were good.

But she couldn't disregard Di Xiaoba's feelings.

She had always considered herself the older sister.

But as a result of this matter, getting ahead of her? She just couldn't do it.

Besides, in terms of timing, she was the one who came later.

"Hanxiao, why exactly is it not possible? You have to tell me."

Thinking about this, Su Mei couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart.

"Could it be that the father of the child is someone else, which is why you don't dare tell him?"

"How is that possible!" Lu Hanxiao became serious. "How could I not know whose it is?"

From childhood until now, Zhang Yu was the only one she had ever been with.

"Then why don't you dare tell him? What exactly are you worried about?"

"I can't explain it clearly to you right now. Let me tell you when I get back to Jiangcheng."

"Alright then. How much longer until you arrive?"

Su Mei realized the conversation had circled back to the very first question she asked.

"Based on my current position and speed, I should arrive in Jiangcheng in about eight hours," Lu Hanxiao calculated and said.

"If there are no stops along the way."

"Eight hours? Okay, then I'll leave in seven hours."

After Su Mei finished sending the message, she saw Zhang Yu looking at her. "What did she say?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Hanxiao said she'll be in Jiangcheng in about eight hours."

"Alright, I understand." He smiled.

"It's getting late, I should head back." Su Mei checked the time.

"Alright, I'll see you out." Zhang Yu nodded, making no move to ask her to stay.

"You, Zhang Yu, you didn't even say something like asking me to sit for a while longer. You're such a blockhead."

In reality, Su Mei didn't want to leave. But since she had already said it, and Zhang Yu didn't say anything, she had no choice.

Even if Zhang Yu had said half a sentence to keep her, she would have wanted to stay a while longer.

"Su Mei, stop daydreaming. You'd better leave quickly, or you really won't be able to leave later."

She scolded herself in her heart, "Curse these legs, move faster."

But what she said out loud was, "Oh, Hanxiao is in a special situation now, the home environment needs to be well-maintained."

"Hmm?" Zhang Yu frowned slightly. Wasn't Officer Su supposed to report to the Criminal Police Team?

"Which room is Hanxiao's? Do you have any alcohol at home? I'll go disinfect her room and tidy it up," Su Mei said.

"Alright, go ahead. The alcohol is in the liquor cabinet opposite the kitchen." Zhang Yu glanced at Su Mei.

Then, he watched her take the supplies and go busy herself in Lu Hanxiao's room.

When Su Mei finished and came out of the room, she was drenched in sweat.

"Phew, finally done." She let out a long sigh.

"I'm roasting. I need to go home, take a shower, change my clothes, and then go to the airport to pick up Hanxiao."

"Why don't you just shower here?" Zhang Yu said.

"Huh?" Su Mei looked at him warily. "But I don't have any clothes to change into?"

"Aren't you and Lu Hanxiao about the same size? Just find one of her outfits to change into, wouldn't that work?" Zhang Yu smiled again.

"No way." Su Mei shook her head firmly this time. "You're trying to harbor ulterior motives against me."

"Alright then, you should head back."

"Fine, I'm going. Honestly."

After Su Mei said goodbye to Zhang Yu and walked out of the residential complex, she turned back to glance at Zhang Yu's place.

"Hmph, what's so great about it anyway."

As Su Mei said this in a tsundere manner, a few passersby looked at her strangely.

It actually made her feel embarrassed, and her face flushed a little.

She felt like she was done for. She had never felt such unpredictable emotions toward a man before.

They changed as quickly as a child's face.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she finally got into her rolls-royce cullinan and prepared to leave Binjiang Mansion.

She hadn't touched this car for a long time. The moment she sat in the driver's seat, she involuntarily recalled the scene she had seen earlier.

"What kind of feeling was that?" Su Mei couldn't help but wonder.

She looked up and saw Zhang Yu seemingly standing on the balcony. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly drove away from Binjiang Mansion.

...At this moment, Zhang Yu stood on the balcony, witnessing Su Mei driving away. In the large house, he was left all alone again.

"It's still early, I should go look at some houses," he thought.

If Lu Hanxiao really was carrying his child, they would need to hire a nanny to help out later. Even though the current apartment was 400 square meters, it still wouldn't be enough space.

Plus, living with other people was quite inconvenient. Therefore, Zhang Yu decided to buy a villa.

It would be best to find one that was already renovated, where he could just make some minor adjustments and move straight in.

If it were a rough-finish property, even if he started renovations now, using the fastest methods and the best materials, it would still be too late.

Renovations have a process, and there's waiting time between each stage. Therefore, buying a villa that was already renovated was the most suitable option.

When it came to housing, he had to see it for himself to feel at ease. Although he had professional secretaries and assistants, it was best to handle this kind of thing personally.

As it happened, just outside the residential complex, there was a real estate agency called "Conch" that had plenty of listings. He decided to go take a look.

"Sir, are you looking for a property?" As soon as Zhang Yu walked into the agency, a few agents who were playing on their phones looked up, not showing much enthusiasm.

But a young woman with a bun hairstyle, wearing a black professional suit, quickly walked up to him with a beaming smile.

Seeing that Zhang Yu was so young and handsome, her smile became even sweeter.

"Yes, looking for a property." He nodded slightly.

"Then sir, what kind of property are you looking to buy? We have high-rises, mid-rises, and garden houses in various price ranges. What are your specific requirements? I can recommend suitable listings for you."

The young agent spoke fluently, introducing the options with professional sales tactics.

"Do you have any villas for sale here? Ones that are already renovated and in relatively new condition?"

"A villa?" The young agent glanced at Zhang Yu.

She hadn't expected this handsome man to ask for villas right away. Her impression of him improved instantly.

If she could close this deal, it would be a huge commission. Because villas had high total prices and were hard to sell, the commission was also high.

For a typical branch, selling two or three villas a year after selling 100 regular residential units was considered quite impressive.

Someone like the young man in front of her, who asked for a villa right off the bat, was someone they hadn't encountered in a long time.

Just as the young agent was about to speak, someone who looked like the store manager walked over. "Sir, you want to see villas? Let me take you to see them. I'm very familiar with the properties in the area."
