Chapter 736 (Page 1/2)

Lin Man thought to herself, these people in the Xie family are really good!

Not only did he complete the task brilliantly according to her requirements, but he also found ways to restore the old house to its original appearance.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene in front of her, Lin Man couldn't help but feel emotional.

I just wonder, if the Xie family knew in the future that the price of this house has increased a thousand times compared to its original price, would they feel regretful?

Thinking of this, Lin Man felt somewhat uneasy.

In order to take precautions and avoid unnecessary disputes as much as possible, after careful consideration, Lin Man resolutely decided to first find an experienced, professional and reliable lawyer to help draft a detailed and comprehensive house purchase and sale contract.

So, after looking at the house and having a relatively comprehensive and clear understanding of its overall condition, Lin Man left Xie's house, went to the post office, immediately called the hospital, and told her grandfather that she would not be able to return home until tomorrow.

The grandfather on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then simply agreed to Lin Man's request, saying that he would definitely help her take care of the children.

That afternoon, Lin Man took Xie Chuan to find a lawyer, but found that no lawyer was available.

Lin Man then remembered that the lawyer system would not be restored until next year.

Since I couldn't find a lawyer, I had to go to the office to ask a notary to write a notarial deed. After meeting with the notary, after careful discussion and revisions, I finally finalized the terms and conditions of the sales contract.

Immediately afterwards, both parties solemnly signed their names on the contract without hesitation.

According to the agreement, Lin Man first paid a part of the purchase price as a down payment. When she went to the Housing Authority the next day to complete the transfer procedures and obtain relevant supporting documents, she would pay the remaining balance in full.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was ten o'clock the next morning.

At this moment, all the transaction processes were finally completed and the dust settled. Looking at the stack of property certificates in her hand, Lin Man's face bloomed with a bright smile as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Xie Chuan and his brothers were very happy to receive the final payment. They said they wanted to treat Lin Man to a meal. Lin Man thought about it and agreed.

While eating, Xie Chuan suddenly asked Lin Man, who was sitting opposite him, "Xiao Lin, what is your relationship with Lieutenant General Huo Lihuo?"

Hearing this, Lin Man raised her head and glanced at Xie Chuan. After a pause, she replied, "He is my lover's grandfather."

Xie Chuan nodded in sudden realization and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder my father came to me and asked me who the buyer of the house was. It turns out he knew your grandfather.

By the way, I think I heard my son mention that Minister Qiao is your biological father, right?"

Lin Man was stunned when she heard this, and was secretly surprised.

She really didn't expect that the circle they were in was so small, and she had no idea through what channels the Xie family had found out about this information, even knowing clearly that she was Qiao Yan's daughter.

Seeing Lin Man's silence, Xie Chuan seemed to realize that he might have been a bit abrupt. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He quickly cleared his throat to cover it up, coughed a few times, and said:

"Ahem... I'm so sorry! Xiaolin, the truth is, my eldest son currently works as a translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He's also Minister Qiao's personal secretary, so he occasionally mentions his superiors at home...

Before, my son came back and told me that Minister Qiao has a very beautiful daughter who is already married. Her husband is Lieutenant General Huo’s eldest grandson.

I didn't take it too seriously at the time, but I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Huo called my father two days ago and told us not to sell the house to anyone else. Only then did we know that you were his eldest grandson's wife..."

Facing Xie Chuan's endless narration, Lin Man just smiled slightly and did not make any response or agreement.

At this moment, she felt extremely regretful. If she had known that the Xie family would talk to her about the Qiao family at the dinner table, she would never have come to the lunch appointment.

I don’t know if Xie Chuan’s enthusiasm in inviting her to dinner was to bring them closer, and then take the opportunity to please her biological father and pave the way for his son?

Thinking of this, Lin Man could no longer suppress the impulse in her heart. She took a deep breath, then slowly opened her lips and said:

"Uncle Xie, please listen to me. My last name is Lin, not Qiao. Although I was mistakenly taken away when I was a child, there is really no connection between me and the Qiao family, and we have never had any dealings."

As Qiao Yan's personal secretary, Xie Chuan's eldest son knows a lot about Qiao Yan's family affairs.

Not only that, several brothers of their Xie family were also involved in the political circle. He had more or less heard about the fact that Minister Qiao had a daughter who had been living away from home for many years.

However, what he never expected was that the biological daughter of the legendary Minister Qiao was actually the beautiful girl with good looks and outstanding temperament standing in front of him at this moment!

For a moment, Xie Chuan couldn't help but wonder, if Qiao Yan knew that his own daughter had bought the Xie family's old house, how would he feel?

After hearing Lin Man's words, Xie Chuan showed an apologetic smile and quickly explained, "Oh, Xiao Lin, I'm so sorry.

Actually, we don't know the specific situation between you two. We asked this question today just for the sake of brevity, so I hope you don't take it personally."

Lin Man nodded slightly, showing her understanding, and responded, "Okay, Uncle Xie, I understand what you mean."

Xie Chuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Man didn't take what happened earlier to heart. He then asked, "Xiao Lin, Lieutenant General Huo should have a courtyard house as well. Why did you think of buying another one?"

Lin Man replied nonchalantly, "I have four children. If they grow up and don't want to live with us as parents, we can just let them live on their own."

Xie Chuan couldn't understand why Lin Man could afford so much money. He suspected that Lieutenant General Huo might have acquired a collection of antiques and was now using them to buy a new house for his grandson. He also wondered if his other children would quarrel if they found out.
