After Turning Around, I Exploded in the Legal Circle

Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...

Chapter 13 settled

Grandpa Wang's eyes flickered, but his face remained smiling.

"It doesn't matter where Sui Sui sits."

Wang Fang glanced coldly at Qin Suisui, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot, not understanding why her father was being so kind to this brat.

"You gave the house to your eldest daughter, so where are you planning to make us live?"

Grandma Wang glanced at her husband, her eyelids drooping as she looked at Qin Zhen in a sarcastic tone.

“Mom, I’ve already told Wang Fang that our house in Jianghai District is still vacant, so it’s a good opportunity for you two to move in.”

Qin Zhen spoke in a flat tone, his brows furrowed, and his expression revealed dissatisfaction.

"However, it's just a small two-bedroom apartment there, so it might not be suitable for Wang Yang and his wife to live there with their child."

The reason why Weiwei's maternal grandparents were allowed to live there back then was because their house was about to be demolished, and letting them live there temporarily for a few years was a way of showing their affection.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as the houses were allocated, both properties were immediately given to the two sons.

The elderly couple didn't want to move in with their son, so they continued to live in Sui Sui's maternal grandparents' house with their younger son.

She's lived here for ten years now, and judging from the old lady's tone, she doesn't seem to feel any gratitude, but rather resentment.

Qin Zhen glanced at Wang Fang, who was sitting right next to him. Back then, he had been considerate of Xiao Fang, a young woman, marrying him, a widower with a daughter. As for Sui Sui's matter, he had always turned a blind eye and tried to smooth things over.

Now, the old couple has gone too far and started treating that courtyard in Lanqing Town as their own.

Grandpa Wang noticed the subtle change in Qin Zhen's face. His heart tightened, and he quickly changed the subject with a smile.

"Alright, old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? We're not going anywhere, we're just moving back to Weilou."

He looked at Wang Yang and Gu Ya.

"Go talk to the tenants tomorrow and tell them to move out next month. Also, find someone to renovate the house, let it air out for a month or two, and then we'll move in."

"dad!"

"Old man, how will you live in Wei Lou's house?"

Wang Yang and Grandma Wang shouted in unison.

Grandma Wang is used to living in the hospital, and she would never want to go back to live in a small and cramped resettlement house like the one in Weilou.

"You've been living with your son-in-law for ten years, and you still haven't moved out. When are you planning to move out?"

Grandpa Wang glared at the two of them sideways, then turned to look at Qin Suisui.

He smiled and said, "Sui Sui, Grandpa wants to discuss this with you. We might have to move a few months later. What do you think...?"

He didn't finish his sentence. After all, he was an elder. If it weren't for his two sons, would he have swallowed his pride and discussed things with a young girl?

"I'm sorry, Grandpa. If it weren't for a last resort, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to take back the house. You see, you, Grandma, and Uncle have lived here for ten years, and I've never asked you to move out."

Qin Suisui smiled faintly: "I want to sell the house in Lanqing Town."

"What?"

Qin Zhen exclaimed in surprise. He stared at his eldest daughter and couldn't help but scold her sternly.

"Qin Suisui, you're transferring the property just to sell the house? What are you planning to do?"

Everyone, including Wang Fang, glared at Qin Suisui.

"I applied to Harvard Law School's combined Master of Laws and PhD program. Although the tuition is waived, I have to cover my own living expenses."

Qin Suisui glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the people around her.

“The annual living expenses are about 20,000 M yuan. After completing a master’s and doctoral degree, it will be at least 100,000 M yuan. I know my family definitely doesn’t have that much savings, so I had no choice but to sell the house in Lanqing Town.”

Her words were a mix of truth and falsehood. Harvard had given her a full scholarship, covering tuition and living expenses, but she did need some liquid funds to make some long-term investments.

In order to prepare for the graduate entrance examination in finance, she spent a whole year analyzing and observing domestic and international economic and financial information.

Before applying to Harvard Law School, she had been bullish on an options contract for a non-ferrous metal. The price movement in recent months had been almost exactly as she had predicted. According to her calculations, the spot price had already peaked, and some capital had begun to sell off the commodity. At the latest, the spot price would definitely experience a sharp drop within two months.

Now is the optimal time to buy put options on non-ferrous metals.

After working for several years, she only had a little over 30,000 yuan in savings, which was far from enough to operate an options account. Only by selling her house in Lanqing Town could she have spare funds to buy and sell options contracts.

Although she had long since become indifferent to Chengjue's infidelity, she still felt resentful. She was unwilling to be a complacent slacker; she wanted to overcome all obstacles, break through the shackles of social class, and stand at the top.

“I’ve considered it. The houses in Lanqing Town are small-scale properties and quite old, so the prices won’t go up. They can only fetch around one million at most, which is just enough for my living expenses in the US.”

Qin Suisui's explanation completely shocked everyone. Thanks to Wang Fang's deliberate propaganda over the past few days, they all thought that Qin Suisui had failed to get into Aurora University's graduate program and might be going back to Nancheng to develop her career.

Who knew that what awaited them was that the other person had been accepted into Harvard Law School in the United States.

"Sui Sui, is what you said true?"

Qin Zhen was the first to react, her face filled with disbelief.

Qin Suisui nodded: "Of course, how could such a thing be faked?"

Upon receiving a positive answer, Qin Zhen grinned from ear to ear, then got up and paced back and forth, rubbing his hands together.

"This is wonderful!"

He had always been rather lukewarm towards his eldest daughter, but she was still his daughter after all. In Z country, being able to get into Harvard Law School in M ​​country was definitely the pride of the elite.

The thought of the envious looks his colleagues and relatives would give him when they found out his daughter had been accepted into a top law school in the world made him smile involuntarily.
