Chapter 136 I'm Not a Child Anymore
Ye Wanxi's first reaction was that her second senior brother was lying to her about the scarce resource that Gao Min had mentioned that was in high demand and short supply.
Her second senior brother didn't even know who she was before, so how could he possibly reserve a house for her?
The most likely scenario is that her second brother gave up his or her relatives' share to make room for her, which would make it even more impossible for her to accept the house.
As if knowing what Ye Wanxi was thinking, Xiang Yueqi continued with a smile, "Second brother didn't lie to you, this was really reserved for you. Not just this one, basically every residential building in the Xiang family's complex has its best unit reserved for you. If you don't like this one, I have many other different ones here. I'll have someone send you a catalog tomorrow, and you can take your time to choose."
Xiang Yueqi wasn't lying. Ever since he could remember, whenever it was a property owned by the Xiang family, he would ask his family to reserve the best and most beautiful one for him.
Her family members were initially a little doubtful, but Xiang Yueqi was more mature than her peers from a young age, had her own opinions, and would not change her mind once she made up her mind.
His family, unable to bear his nagging any longer, gave in to him, assuming he was saving up for his future marriage. They even teased him about it.
Only Xiang Yueqi knew that this house could never have been left for his future wife.
Because he had specific instructions for each of the houses he left behind: the kitchen should be renovated to be larger, more aesthetically pleasing, and fully functional.
Deep down, he always felt that his future wife would be completely incompetent at housework, and that letting her in might cause the house to explode.
Nie, the second-class disabled woman and future daughter-in-law, Yun Ke: "???"
When Ye Wanxi returned from her time travel and regained her memories, Yueqi finally understood who these houses were meant for and why he had been so obsessed with collecting properties for her.
In her past life, before ascending to immortality, her master cast a final divination, predicting that a thousand years later, her junior sister would be reincarnated as a pitiful little thing who would never have enough to eat, be destitute, and have no one or anything to shelter her from the wind and rain.
The fellow disciples who had cherished her since childhood couldn't bear to hear this. They all wished they could immediately travel back a thousand years to support their junior sister.
After being reincarnated, Xiang Yueqi lost these memories, but the feelings he had at that time were deeply imprinted in his soul, causing him to unconsciously accumulate this enormous real estate empire that was as rich as a country for Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi was quite taken aback by her second brother's Versailles-style flaunting of wealth, and it took her a while to ask with difficulty, "Xiang's residential buildings, they reserved one unit for each, how many... units are there?"
"I haven't counted exactly, but it's probably not a hundred, but at least several dozen."
Hundreds of units? According to her agent's description, the cheapest real estate now costs at least three or four million, and properties like Luhai Garden could cost over 100 million.
If we convert it this way, wouldn't one hundred properties mean...?
"..."
"..."
There was a moment of silence as Ye Wanxi held up her phone and stared at Gao Min for a moment.
Another heart-wrenching wail erupted from inside the room, startling Xiang Yueqi on the other end of the phone.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"
Ye Wanxi quickly covered her phone, her lips twitching as she said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. A couple next door were arguing and breaking up, and they were making a bit of a racket."
"I see, I thought something was wrong." Xiang Yueqi breathed a sigh of relief, then continued earnestly, "But you can hear the neighbors arguing so clearly, the soundproofing in your company dormitory is terrible. No, no, you need to pack up right now, I'll find someone to help you move tomorrow. If you don't like the sea view, I also have duplex apartments, and large single-level apartments with high ceilings in the city center..."
"Stop, stop..." Ye Wanxi could only hear the sound of the money counter working in her ears, making her ears ring.
Not to mention Gao Min, even she was starting to feel the strain.
"I have to go to the Bai family tomorrow, so I don't have time right now."
"Oh right, I forgot. How about the day after tomorrow?"
"I won't be free the day after tomorrow either; the Bai family's matter can't be resolved in a day."
Xiang Yueqi's expression changed slightly: "Is it that serious? Could there be any danger?"
"It's a little troublesome, but nothing serious, it's fine."
“Then you should take care of yourself.” Xiang Yueqi paused after saying this. “Actually, money can solve everything. Why bother with all this trouble? It’s exhausting, dangerous, and stressful.”
"Second Brother, I'm poor."
"I have money. Give me your bank account number, I'll transfer it to you in a bit. Is ten million enough? Hmm, is that too little? How about fifty million?"
Xiang Yueqi then remembered that his junior sister was currently just a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry with a little bit of popularity.
Not only does she live in a dormitory, but most of her work money is probably withheld by the company. She even has to "work" to pay off the debt when she buys medicine for her senior brother. She feels extremely distressed and guilty and wishes she could give him all her savings.
Ye Wanxi had anticipated Xiang Yueqi's reaction and sighed, "Second Senior Brother, I'm not a child anymore."
"In your second senior brother's heart, you will always be a child."
"But you always spoil me like this, when will I ever grow up?"
Xiang Yueqi opened her mouth, as if to say, "Then don't grow up."
But the words stuck in his throat.
Yes, the child who used to always follow behind them, who would act cute and charming, has grown up.
"Okay, I won't get involved in this. But you have to promise me you'll take good care of yourself. And about moving..."
Ye Wanxi was a little embarrassed, thinking to herself, just how obsessed are you with my moving?
"Move, move, move. We'll move once we've settled things with the Bai family."
Having achieved his goal, Xiang Yueqi then pulled Ye Wanxi aside and explained many things in great detail.
Ye Wanxi listened patiently, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, showing no impatience whatsoever with this long-unheard nagging.
By the time Xiang Yueqi finished explaining everything and hung up the phone with satisfaction, it was almost one or two in the morning.
Gao Min's expression changed from initial excitement and sorrow to melancholy and resentment, and finally to a blank and numb look.
"Was that really the heir to Mingqi Real Estate, the eldest son of the Xiang family?"
"Is there something wrong?"
Gao Min was speechless at Ye Wanxi's matter-of-fact attitude: "Nothing is right! Mr. Xiang of Mingqi Real Estate is known in the industry for being aloof and difficult to get along with. Once, an investor wanted to discuss cooperation with him and brought a particularly beautiful assistant with him."
"During the negotiations, the assistant accidentally spilled the coffee on the table, and President Xiang immediately lost his temper, canceling all cooperation and even bankrupting the company."
After listening to Gao Min's explanation, Ye Wanxi frowned slightly and said disdainfully, "Bringing a pretty assistant along to negotiations, the business partner must have ulterior motives."
Gao Min: "???" Is this the key point?
