Chapter 95 A Feeling of Peace
Qiao Xing stood up nervously. Yang Han was chatting and laughing with the old man, and the lawyer next to them was also smiling happily.
"Well, Grandpa, I'll be going now. You guys have fun, and I'll come visit you again next time!"
"Alright, alright, be careful on your journey, come visit again next time," the old man said with a smile.
Actually, the old man quite liked Yang Han; he was not only sweet-talking but also capable.
On the other hand, if Yang Han wasn't good at handling social situations, she wouldn't have gotten along with Qin Ce.
Given Qin Ce's personality, it wouldn't be easy to become good friends with him without some shamelessness and ability.
Yang Han exchanged a few pleasantries with the old man, then left with his lawyer. As he passed Qiao Xing, he grinned at her.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking is amazing! I'll definitely come over for a meal again next time!"
Qiao Xing twitched the corners of her mouth and nodded with a smile: "Okay, you can come anytime."
"Okay, I've got it. Bye-bye."
Yang Han left, and Lin Shuang and Zhang Zhe couldn't stay any longer. They figured they were going to talk about family matters, and it wouldn't be right for them to just stand there.
Lin Shuang stood up and said, "Then we'll be going now. Let's talk again next time."
"Okay, I'll see you off!"
Zhang Zhe waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, no need, we can go down ourselves, you guys go ahead with your work!"
After saying that, Zhang Zhe grabbed Lin Shuang and ran away in a sorry state.
Good heavens, he actually ate at the boss's house! Looking at the entire company, who else has such an honor?
He could brag about this for a year if he told anyone.
After everyone left, only the three of them were left at home. Qiao Xing glanced nervously at Grandpa Qin again.
"Grandpa, this house..."
Grandpa Qin came to her, sat down next to Qiao Xing, and raised his hand to indicate that Qiao Xing should sit down as well.
The old man said, "Xingxing, I've already bought this house. I don't have much to give you for your wedding, and we didn't have a wedding ceremony or anything. I feel a little guilty about it."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued, "So consider this house a gift from your grandfather. You and Xiao Ce can discuss and decide how to name it. You can just go to the housing authority when the time comes."
"The contract has been signed and the money has been paid, so you don't need to worry."
Qiao Xing was taken aback, then quickly said, "Grandpa, how could I let you spend the money? Qin Ce and I actually already discussed it, and you don't need to pay..."
The old man waved his hand, interrupting her: "I know you are filial. Xiao Ce also advised me earlier. Here's the thing, Grandpa only gave you the down payment. You still have to pay the loan yourself, so you don't need to feel embarrassed."
"Oh, I see..." Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a down payment, that would be fine.
“Yes, Grandpa can only afford the down payment. You two will have to pay the mortgage together, so the name should be written as it should be, right? You two can discuss it yourselves.”
Qiao Xing nodded. "I understand."
The old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, coughed, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back and rest first. You can discuss it yourselves. Oh dear, I'm getting old, I just get sleepy a lot."
After saying that, the old man slunk away into his room.
Now only she and Qin Ce are left in the room.
The two looked at each other, neither of them speaking for a moment.
Qin Ce said, "Let's stick to what we agreed on before and put both our names on the deed. Whoever files for divorce gets the house. What do you think?"
Qiao Xing was still somewhat hesitant.
Qin Ce then said, "I've already taken out the 300,000 yuan you gave me, so you've paid the money. Don't you really want this house?"
Qiao Xing was stunned. "Huh? You paid the 300,000 down payment?"
Qin Ce hummed in agreement, "No, I still have 100,000 left, I'll return it to you."
As he spoke, he returned the card to Qiao Xing, saying, "Keep this 100,000 yuan for yourself. You can use it for emergencies later, or you can spend it however you like."
Qiao Xing took the card. "Then keep it. We'll use it to pay the mortgage later."
"what ever."
"When should we go to complete the property transfer?"
Qin Ce said, "We'll have to ask Yang Han when he'll be free. If you're comfortable with that, I'll take care of it. If you're not comfortable with that, then wait until Yang Han is free and you can come with me."
"Of course I'm relieved. Then I'll leave this matter to you. I won't worry about it anymore, okay?"
Qiao Xing didn't know why, but although Qin Ce was sometimes a bit unreliable, he gave Qiao Xing a very dependable feeling.
Qiao Xing didn't know how to describe that feeling of peace of mind.
Basically, if it were someone else in this situation, they would definitely try every means to get the 300,000 yuan and not want her name added to the property certificate.
But Qin Ce didn't do that; he didn't take her 300,000 yuan.
He and Grandpa Qin are both good people.
Her trust in him was also based on Grandpa Qin. She had known Grandpa Qin for so many years, and she was sure that he would never harm her.
It's just that... I guess even Grandpa Qin doesn't know about his grandson's sexual orientation.
The house issue was finally resolved. Qiao Xing had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she stayed home to tidy up the house. Their things had been moved in and needed to be organized.
She had the most belongings, while Qin Ce had almost no luggage, just that one suitcase, just like when they got married, it was still that lonely suitcase with very few things.
Qin Ce went out in the afternoon, leaving Qiao Xing alone at home.
After she finished packing, Lily called to remind her not to forget to go with her to choose a wedding dress tomorrow.
Qiao Xing rubbed his sore arms and agreed to Lily's request.
In the evening, Lily and Wang Ye arrived carrying a bunch of things.
Qiao Xing opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see them.
As is customary, Wang Ye first gave Qiao Xing a big bear hug, saying, "Cousin! Congratulations on finally having your own home!"
Qiao Xing was always choked so tightly by him that she couldn't breathe. She patted Wang Ye's shoulder, signaling him to let go of her.
Wang Ye let go of her, then shoved the things into Qiao Xing's hands. "Dad asked me to bring this to you. He said you moved to a new house, so we should at least come and give you a gift or something. Can I come in?"
Qiao Xing quickly made way, "Come in quickly, I just finished cleaning up."
Wang Ye took off his shoes and came in barefoot. He looked around and said, "This house is nice. It's similar to the one we looked at last time. When I have money, I'll buy one next to yours and come over to your house for meals every day."
Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated by this, "Then you have to keep it up!"
"Absolutely, I'll definitely work hard. That old house belongs to my parents, so I'll leave it for them to live out their retirement. I'll definitely move out eventually," Wang Ye said confidently.
When he saw Qiao Xing's house, he was filled with fighting spirit.
As the two were talking, Qin Ce returned.
