506: Meeting gift

"To be honest, becoming your Godson is me climbing the social ladder. In our Yang County, there are plenty of people who would give anything to be your Godson."

Ye Su did not give an immediate answer, but turned his head to look at Ye Jianguo and Su Wan:

"However, this matter still requires the two of you, Mom and Dad, to make the decision."

Seeing that Ye Su thought of asking for their opinion first at this moment, Ye Jianguo and his wife felt very gratified and quickly replied:

"You silly boy, Mr. Zhang... Fengmao and Wu Lianfang are willing to accept you as their Godson; this is your good fortune. What is there to hesitate about?"

Having received Ye Jianguo and Su Wan's permission, Ye Su smiled and said to Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Fengmao:

"Then I have nothing to hesitate about. Thank you both for not looking down on me. From today on, I am your Godson."

"Haha!" Upon receiving Ye Su's answer, Zhang Fengmao laughed heartily: "Good! Good!"

Although Wu Lianfang was not as boisterous as Zhang Fengmao, she was equally beaming with joy, her complexion so ruddy that it seemed as if her vitality had improved significantly.

Just before Wu Lianfang spoke, Zhang Fengmao had just finished brewing several cups of tea. Ye Su stood up, walked forward, and took two of the cups to serve as the tea for the formal address:

"Godfather, please have some tea. Godmother, please have some tea."

"Aye—"

Hearing Ye Su call her "Godmother," Wu Lianfang, who maintained her appearance very well, still smiled until wrinkles appeared on her face.

Zhang Fengmao was also grinning from ear to ear. He reached out to take the teacups Ye Su handed over with both hands, repeating the word "Good" several times.

Without any grand, cumbersome etiquette, after drinking the two cups of tea, Zhang Fengmao and Wu Lianfang had officially accepted Ye Su as their Godson.

On the side, Ye Xin and Ye Ruo watched the scene before them, feeling that it still seemed unreal.

They had agreed to just come over for a meal, and in the blink of an eye, their third sibling had become Zhang Fengmao's Godson!

If they told others about this, people would 100% think they were bragging.

What kind of figure was Zhang Fengmao? How could he possibly accept their third sibling as his Godson?

Ye Jianguo and Su Wan felt gratified.

With Zhang Fengmao and Wu Lianfang accepting Ye Su as their Godson, they wouldn't have to worry about future matters.

After Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Fengmao finished their tea, Ye Su remembered to look at Zhang Xuantong:

"I was so happy just now that I forgot to ask Xuantong if she minds having me as her God-brother."

Fearing that Ye Su might overthink it, Zhang Xuantong shook her head like a rattle-drum:

"They already discussed it with me in advance. I have no objections."

After saying this, Zhang Xuantong looked at Su Wan: "How about I also recognize Uncle and Auntie as my Godfather and Godmother?"

Ye Jianguo and Su Wan just assumed Zhang Xuantong was joking like a child, and they waved their hands repeatedly, laughing:

"How can that be? You are a young lady from a wealthy family. Being our Goddaughter would be too much of a grievance for you."

Zhang Xuantong said nonchalantly: "Why not? If Ye Su can be my parents' Godson, why can't I be your Goddaughter?"

Seeing that Ye Jianguo and his wife were somewhat at a loss, Wu Lianfang spoke up to persuade them:

"If you don't mind that Xuantong isn't as sensible as ASu, then just accept her as your Goddaughter."

Zhang Fengmao also chimed in with a smile: "Anyway, ASu has already recognized us as his Godfather and Godmother, so the two of them are God-siblings. If Xuantong also recognizes you as her Godfather and Godmother, the result is the same."

"Xuantong is so well-behaved and polite, and she's so pretty. We couldn't be happier to have her; how could we possibly mind!"

Hearing Su Wan's praise, Zhang Xuantong made a triumphant face at Wu Lianfang:

"Did you hear that? Well-behaved, polite, and pretty. Auntie has sharp eyes, so you aren't allowed to scold me in the future."

Wu Lianfang glanced at Zhang Xuantong with a mix of helplessness and doting affection before turning to look at Ye Jianguo and his wife:

"Since everyone has said so, I wonder if you are willing to accept Xuantong as your Goddaughter."

"This..."

Su Wan and Ye Jianguo exchanged a look. Realizing that Ye Jianguo also had no objections, she said to Zhang Xuantong with slight trepidation:

"If Xuantong doesn't feel it's a grievance, then we will accept this Goddaughter."

"It's not a grievance, not at all." Zhang Xuantong happily stood up, walked forward, and imitating Ye Su's actions from just a moment ago, picked up two cups of tea from the coffee table and offered them to Ye Jianguo and Su Wan respectively:

"Godfather, please have some tea."

"Godmother, please have some tea."

"Good."

"Have some tea."

Watching the scene before them, Zhang Fengmao and Wu Lianfang both smiled knowingly.

After Zhang Xuantong returned to her seat, Zhang Fengmao opened the coffee table drawer, took out a contract that had been prepared long ago, and handed it to Ye Su:

"Since we've accepted you as our Godson, your Godmother and I cannot be too stingy. This is a gift for the formal address we prepared for you. See if you like it."

Ye Su did not act coy; he reached out to take the document and opened it, only to discover it was a property deed of gift:

"This is... a house in Splendid Mansion?"

Hearing that Zhang Fengmao was giving away a house in Splendid Mansion right off the bat, the four people including Ye Kaijun were all shocked, their eyes widening.

"Yes," Wu Lianfang introduced. "This 'King of Buildings' in Splendid Mansion is a token of appreciation from your Godfather and me. It is also a thank you for saving me at Banyan Tree Nunnery yesterday."

The Splendid Mansion that Wu Lianfang mentioned was a key real estate project in Yang County with an excellent location. From the time the project was initiated, it had been marketed as a neighborhood for the wealthy.

The housing prices in other residential areas in Yang County were generally between six thousand and eight thousand per square meter.

The starting price for housing in Splendid Mansion was over ten thousand.

The 'King of Buildings' that Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Fengmao gave to Ye Su was even as high as fifteen thousand per square meter, a price that was almost catching up to second-tier cities.

Some old, dilapidated small apartments in remote areas of Guangzhou were basically at this price.

Unlike some real estate developers who would slap the label of "King of Buildings" on unsellable units to sell to suckers,

the house Zhang Fengmao gave away truly deserved the title of "King of Buildings" within Splendid Mansion.

Although it was said to be one house, it was actually a duplex unit formed by connecting two apartments vertically.

The house was located in the middle of the first row of the residential complex, on the 20th and 21st floors of the main 27-story building.

This height avoided ground noise and dust, and there was no need to worry about leaks or sun exposure from the top floor, nor the noise that might come from the equipment floor.

Located in the prime "C position" of the complex, the view was not obstructed by other buildings. On one side, it overlooked the community landscape specially created by the developer, and on the other, it faced the river view outside the complex.

The two connected apartments were both large 165-square-meter units, with a total area of 330 square meters.

Calculated at 15,000 yuan per square meter, the total price of the house Zhang Fengmao gave away was nearly 5 million!

Let alone in Yang County, even the house that Ye Kaijun had previously let Ye Su stay in temporarily couldn't sell for this price now!

Knowing that Zhang Fengmao was definitely generous, Ye Su was still startled by his grand gesture when he saw the size of the house in the deed of gift:

"Godfather, Godmother, this house is too valuable. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to accept it!"

Wu Lianfang's tone, however, did not allow Ye Su the slightest room for refusal:

"What's inappropriate about it? Not to mention that you are now our Godson and we are already family,

even the fact that you saved my life yesterday is worth this house.

Or do you think your Godmother's life isn't even worth this house?"
