Then she quickly added, "Don't lie to me."

Fu Mingxue knew she couldn't hide it any longer.

Besides, he didn't want to lie to her, so he nodded.

Yes, I bought it.

Qin Wenhuo was in a very bad mood.

He actually let his wife's instructions slip by.

"Mom, we were just about to tell you this. We bought two courtyard houses—"

Fu Mingxue: ...?

She looked at Qin Wenhuo in shock.

This guy—she always thought he was the most discreet person, but she never expected that once he got home, his mouth would leak out faster than sand!

Qin Wenhuo then saw his wife's expression.

He felt a sudden chill—had he said something wrong again?

He thought that since his wife had admitted it to her mother, he could say it too.

Are you suggesting we conceal the quantity?

Madam Fu's expression was really not good.

"Why did you buy two more courtyard houses? Are you burning money? We already have two houses, can we even live in them all?"

"Mom, this is for the kids. We have three kids, so we should prepare a house for each of them, right? Are you favoring boys over girls and only thinking about preparing houses for your grandson, but not for your granddaughter?"

Fu Mingxue's words silenced Fu's mother.

"I don't discriminate against girls at all. Of course, all three children should be treated equally."

Fu Mingxue chuckled, "Isn't that settled? Our family now has four houses. We'll live in one, and the three siblings can each have one. Isn't that perfect?"

“But they are still young now—” Fu’s mother said, puzzled.

How old are these three children?

It's not too late to buy a house when they grow up!

"Mom, the sooner we buy a house, the better. The price is cheap now. If we wait a few years, won't the house prices go up? Look, many people still live in very small houses. The sooner we buy, the cheaper it will be."

Mother Fu: ...?

Fallacies, all of them fallacies.

Can those houses really go up to astronomical prices?

Well, that's their idea, so they've already bought the house.

"Mom, let's not talk about the house anymore. Let Qin Wenhuo tell us what he saw about Song Yan and Bai Siqi!"

Fu Mingxue's words, as expected, drew Fu's mother's attention back.

"Wenhuo, tell me about those two. They're also buying a house? Where did they get so much money?"

"We met by chance. They were also looking to buy a house, and we were both very surprised."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

She rolled her eyes. What kind of fate is this?

It's amazing that we could run into someone in such a big city like Beijing.

Not only did I encounter this once, but I encountered it twice.

Her mother once, Qin Wenhuo once.

"So, did they buy the house?"

Qin Wenhuo shook his head, "No, I've bought that courtyard house."

He then looked at Fu Mingxue with a serious expression, "Wife, I really forgot about this. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have told you?"

After hearing his explanation, Fu Mingxue no longer cared.

"It's okay, we'll just run into each other."

It's estimated that we'll likely encounter each other more often in the future.

Qin Wenhuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn't angry.

"They were quite surprised to see me, but we didn't talk, and we didn't pay any more attention to them afterward. Honey, should we check on them?"

Fu Mingxue thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Forget it, they're all insignificant people, no need to investigate them."

Since they've already met with Qin Wenhuo, there's no need to waste this time.
