Chapter 49 Unexpected Fortune
An Mi didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and took a taxi directly to Tang Cai's company.
As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the figure waiting at the intersection.
"Cai Cai!"
Tang Cai also saw her.
He ran over, waving his arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Are you alright? Why aren't you home so late?"
Anmi hugged her and looked her over.
Tang Cai seemed fine, except that she couldn't stop smiling.
"No, I have something to do." Tang Cai looked at her with a smile.
"Huh?" Anmi was confused by what she said. "Don't scare me! Are you alright or not?"
Why didn't he go home so late? Why did he call her here? And why was he all smiles? Even though she had known Tang Cai for so many years, An Mi was a little uneasy at this moment.
"Did something happen to you?"
Tang Cai slapped her: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"But what I'm about to tell you, you'll never believe unless you see it with your own eyes. Come with me."
Anmi was genuinely a little scared when she saw her acting so mysteriously.
Unfortunately, Wanqiu was not around at this time, leaving her all alone and helpless.
Anmi: "Cai, how about I take you to the hospital?"
"Why go to any hospital? Don't say anything, just come with me."
Tang Cai led her towards a residential area behind the building.
Anmi had heard Tang Cai mention this neighborhood before.
Her fierce boss lives here.
Every time Tang Cai got angry from working overtime, she would threaten in the group chat that she was going to blow up the whole neighborhood.
Anmi: "Why did you bring me here?"
It's late at night, and neither of them lives in this neighborhood. They'll be in big trouble if the security guards catch them and kick them out.
No sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Cai pulled a card out of her pocket.
drop--
Tang Cai placed the card onto the sensor area in front of her.
With a click, the iron gate opened automatically.
Anmi frowned slightly: "Where did you come from?"
"Shh!" Tang Cai led her inside.
The landscaping in this community is exceptionally well done. Because it is positioned as a high-end residential community, you can see the property management's dedication in even the smallest details.
Tang Cai led her directly into one of the buildings.
The elevator also requires a card to access the floors, similar to the neighborhood Yan Jinnian took her to last time.
Anmi watched the numbers slowly rise: "Don't tell me you secretly bought a house?"
The elevator lights illuminated Tang Cai's bright eyes.
Throughout the walk, the corners of her mouth were turned up in a smile.
“Even more exciting than this!” Tang Cai said.
Anmi was a little taken aback by her expression.
"You're in a relationship? This is your boyfriend's house?"
Tang Cai did not answer, but simply told her that she would know soon.
Filled with curiosity and fear, the elevator arrived at the 28th floor.
Anmi followed her out of the elevator and saw a spacious public corridor with a door on each side, indicating that the building had a layout of two apartments per floor.
Tang Cai pulled her toward the house on the right.
Anmi tugged at her sleeve: "Cai, we may be poor, but we are not poor in spirit. Even if we are down on our luck, we can't do such petty theft!"
Tang Cai still gave her a smile.
"Ta-da!"
She magically produced a key from her pocket.
Anmi felt that this scene looked familiar.
"So you really bought a house secretly?"
Tang Cai inserted the key into the lock and opened the door.
With a click, the entryway light came on.
She led Anmi inside with practiced ease.
Upon entering, you'll find a spacious living room with a huge built-in TV on the wall, custom-made cabinets throughout the house, and a panoramic floor-to-ceiling window.
Very bourgeois.
Anmi looked curiously at Tang Cai, who was twirling around in the middle of the living room: "So now can you tell me what all of this is?"
Tang Cai stopped spinning and walked up to her: "I won the lottery!"
"Win the lottery?" Anmi didn't understand.
Tang Cai excitedly grabbed her hand: "You can't believe it, can you? I couldn't believe it either when I first found out! I was so excited!"
She pulled Anmi to sit down on the sofa and slowly began to talk to her.
"When I arrived at the company this morning, the boss suddenly announced that we were going to hold an employee welfare lottery, and everyone was required to participate. There were first, second, and third prizes, and I ended up winning the grand prize!"
I asked my boss, "What kind of award is this?"
"As a result, the boss told me not to leave after work, but to wait for him."
“I was worried that my boss was going to sexually harass me, but he took me to this neighborhood and said that the grand prize was free accommodation provided by the company.”
"This apartment was given to me for free, with all rent and utilities covered! An Xiaomi, don't you think I've won the lottery?!"
Anmi listened, completely bewildered.
She had a vague premonition.
"Is this apartment over 200 square meters?"
"You have a good eye!" Tang Cai was very pleased.
"Two hundred and forty-five square meters, that's five rooms in total! From now on, Wanqiu won't have to squeeze in with us when she comes; we can give her a room all to herself!"
She exclaimed excitedly, "Honey, I never thought such immense wealth would fall into my lap! What have I done to deserve this? Waaaaaah!"
Anmi looked at her, feeling a little guilty.
She already knew who was behind it.
That day, Yan Jinnian told her to think it over carefully, but unexpectedly, Tang Cai also took action.
However, seeing Tang Cai so happy still touched her heart.
"Cai Cai, do you like it here?"
"Of course! What a wonderful house! I could never afford it even if I worked my whole life in Beijing!"
Tang Cai held her hand and said, "Baby, from now on you will live here with me. This is our home."
"Choose one of these five rooms first, see which one you like..." She pulled Anmi inside.
"In addition to the three bedrooms, we'll each have a study, and you can choose your study first!"
“Cai Cai…” An Mi called out to her.
"Um?"
Tang Cai turned around: "What's wrong?"
She vaguely sensed that Anmi didn't seem very excited.
"Honey, is something on your mind? I won such a great house, why aren't you excited at all?"
The normal reaction should be the same as hers.
“An Xiaomi, we no longer have to live in that shabby rented room, and we don’t have to pay rent anymore.” She tried to make An Xiaomi understand this.
But Anmi understood perfectly well.
She smiled and said, "Cai Cai, I can't live here with you."
Tang Cai frowned: "What are you talking about, Mi Zi! If you're not going to live here with me, where are you going to live?"
"Or are you just stunned by this good news? Should I not have told you so directly...?"
Anmi shook her head: "No, it's just that this place is too far from my workplace. It takes twice as long as I used to take the subway, and it's very tiring to commute like this every day."
Tang Cai thought about it and realized that what she said made sense.
The Yan family and her company are located in opposite directions, one in the east and the other in the west.
They were already quite far apart.
Moving her here now would essentially double the distance between them.
For Mi Zi, the Yan family's business was a golden opportunity, and she would never change her job for this place of residence.
Is it true that you can't have it both ways?
Tang Cai thought for a long time and then sighed.
“Honey, then I won’t stay here either. I’ll go back with you to live in your little shabby house.”
Anmi: "?"
"No, please! You can stay here, it's great here!"
Tang Cai stopped her: "No, I can't abandon you! You're under a lot of pressure renting a place all by yourself, I can at least help you share the burden."
She said firmly, "My mind is made up. Let's just pretend this was all a dream. Let's go home, and I'll return the key tomorrow..."
"Wait!" Anmi suddenly interrupted her.
Tang Cai was startled.
Turning around, Anmi helplessly cupped her face in her hands.
"actually……"
She opened and closed her mouth with difficulty a couple of times.
"I...I won the lottery too."
"You won the lottery too?" Tang Cai's voice suddenly rose.
Two supreme beings in one family?
Anmi nodded shyly and took out the key with the pink bow tied to it from her pocket.
"Just like you, it's a house."
