At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
Mrs. Yan looked up and asked, "How much money do you think is appropriate?"
After hesitating for a moment, Mr. Yan gave a number, "1 million?"
Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes at him, "No way!"
After much back and forth, Yan's mother reluctantly agreed to the amount of 500,000.
Yan Chengcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since she learned that her parents disagreed with her investing in the company, she had always felt that she would regret it. Today, seeing Mr. Ren and Mr. Hu make such a decisive decision to invest, her feeling became even stronger.
She finally felt relieved when her parents relented. Although the share was small, at least she wouldn't be left behind by her friends.
Dafu led the Chang family of three to his house and introduced, "Both of these houses on this floor are mine, one is bigger and the other is smaller."
Mrs. Chang casually opened a door and went in. After looking around, she was extremely satisfied. "This house is really nice! The decoration is also very good! This house is quite big, and the other side can't be too small either, right?"
Chang Yue couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, "Mom, this is the little house!"
Mr. Chang was also a little surprised, "So big and still considered young?"
Dafu smiled and led them to the opposite apartment. "Actually, the two apartments are similar in layout, but the larger one has an extra suite."
Mrs. Chang nodded repeatedly, "This is great. Yue'er often fights with her dad over the toilet at home. This house has a bathroom in each bedroom in addition to the shared bathroom. It's so convenient!"
Seeing the undisguised delight on her mother's face, Chang Yue seized the opportunity to say, "Mom, since you agreed to let me invest in our clothing company, maybe in two years I can buy you a big house like this!"
Mrs. Chang rolled her eyes at her, "Do you think money is so easy to earn? You're just talking big!"
Dafu advised from the side, "Uncle, Aunt, I certainly wouldn't say this if Yueyue were collaborating with someone else, but her partner is Xiaoli, so I sincerely want to advise you two not to miss this opportunity."
In the years I've known Xiaoli, I've never seen her make a mistake. Not to mention, she designs and manages this company herself, and has invested so much money; she wouldn't do something that loses money!
The Chang couple exchanged a glance, and Mr. Chang said with a smile, "Dafu, you're really going all out to speak well of your boss!"
Dafu continued to persuade her, "If you're worried about the risks of Yueyue borrowing money from Xiaoli, how about I go on Yueyue's behalf? Consider it my betrothal gift."
Chang Yue blushed at his words and slapped Dafu, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mother Chang laughed, "Dafu, we know you have money, but we don't sell our daughters. We won't take your money."
Dafu scratched his head sheepishly, "I just think it would be a real shame if Yueyue missed this opportunity."
Mr. Chang ended the conversation, saying, "Alright, we understand your intentions, and Yue'er's mother and I will seriously consider this matter."
...
On the way home, Jiang Xiaoli tilted her head and asked, "What do you think their two families will choose?"
Zong Jiayu thought for a moment and said, "Chang Yue has Dafu with her, so she probably won't give up. It's hard to say about Yan Chengcheng."
She nodded. "Yes, if I were in their shoes, I probably wouldn't agree to my child taking on a huge debt before even graduating from university."
Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "No, you will agree. Everyone's experience and courage are different, which creates one different life after another."
She said with a smile, "Ayu, you seem to have a lot of feelings lately!"
Zong Jia chuckled, "Yes, being with Xiao Lizi, the thing you should get used to most is facing all sorts of changes and new things."
Jiang Xiaoli blinked. "So, do you think this is good or bad?"
"Both good and bad"
"What's the meaning?"
Zong Jiayu replied, "Countless changes make people grow faster and more rapidly, making life more colorful, but they also make people feel scared."
She asked, puzzled, "Scared? What's there to be scared of?"
At the red light, Zong Jia stopped the car and turned to look at the girl beside him, saying, "I'm afraid I can't keep up with your changes, and I'm afraid you'll think I'm mediocre."
Upon hearing his answer, she shook her head and retorted, "Ayu, you're overthinking it. You're anything but ordinary; you're far more outstanding than you imagine."
Opportunity always favors the prepared, but when it comes, not everyone can seize it.
Pumpkin and Wei Dong were like that in the past, and the Yan couple, who are now struggling with their dilemmas, are the same.
Zong Jiayu thoroughly enjoyed her praise, saying, "Thank you, Little Pear."
The two of them didn't go anywhere in the afternoon, but spent a leisurely afternoon at home watching movies and drinking afternoon tea.
The new housekeeper, Aunt Tian, only cooked for the two of them that evening. Dafu and Zhongyuan didn't enter the house until almost 9 o'clock, arm in arm.
Jiang Xiaoli asked with a gossipy look, "How did you two feel about spending time with your parents-in-law today?"
Dafu nodded with a smile, "Hehe, not bad."
Zhong Yuan was much more arrogant, "Little Pear, how could your brother not do it? Absolutely!"
Jiang Xiaoli ignored her and asked Dafu, "Brother Dafu, I think Xiaoyue's parents are quite reasonable. They shouldn't be difficult to communicate with, right?"
"Hmm." Dafu took a sip of water and nodded. "They were indeed very easy to talk to. We chatted in the hotel room for a while and then went to my house. They were very satisfied."
She snapped her fingers. "Brother Dafu, I was right, wasn't I!"
"Hehe, Yueyue's mom really likes my house." Dafu grinned from ear to ear.
Zhong Yuan chimed in from the side, "Hey! I took Xin Xin's parents to our neighborhood today too. Xin Xin's mom thought it was nice, and Xin Xin's dad is really extravagant; he just had someone buy an apartment downstairs from us!"
Jiang Xiaoli was also impressed by Hu's father's actions, but then she thought about it and realized that she could now buy any house she liked wherever she went. Thinking about this made her feel much better.
After chatting for a while, Dafu spoke up, "Although Yueyue's parents didn't agree to my offer to pay for the capital increase for her today, I think they won't object to Yueyue investing in your clothing company."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "That's great! In that case, Brother Dafu, you'll have to prepare a lot more betrothal gifts. Our Xiaoyue will be a rich woman in the future!"
Dafu chuckled a few times, "Don't worry, I have enough money for a wife!"
Dafu doesn't have high material needs. Unlike Zhong Yuan, he doesn't have many expensive hobbies. He has saved most of the dividends from "Jiang Li Ji". Now he has some assets, otherwise he wouldn't be able to easily offer to pay this amount for Chang Yue.
