Chapter 235 Profiting from the Hengyang Courtyard
Chen Wuye's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.
He pursed his lips and turned to look at Chen Anni beside him: "What's wrong? Is there a sty in this door? So it can't be touched?"
Chen Anni kicked his shin: "I think it's your hand that has a sty!"
"There aren't any needle marks, but my hands do have calluses from picking up herbs all year round! If you don't believe me, look, there are quite a few..."
Are you crazy?
"Calluses on the hands shouldn't be considered a medical condition, right?"
"You're really sick!"
Chen Wuye kept asking Chen Anni to help him count how many calluses were on his hands.
Sang Ruo and Song Linlin stood aside, watching their playful antics, and faint smiles appeared on their lips.
What a pair of clowns!
At that moment, Sang Ruo's phone suddenly rang.
She glanced down and saw that it was Zhang Ye calling.
Zhang Ye rarely calls her unless there's something important to say.
After pulling the child aside, Sang Ruo went to the lounge to answer the phone: "Assistant Zhang, is there something you need?"
“Miss Sang, Mr. Bo recently asked me to keep an eye on the Hengyang courtyard, right? There have indeed been some unusual things happening there recently, and after thinking about it, I think it's necessary to inform you.”
Sang Ruo's hand holding the phone suddenly paused for a moment.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Aunt Zhang Qingxiu and her uncle Sang Yuan who moved in with their family.
After calming down a bit, she asked softly, "Have they moved in?"
"No, they turned that place into a boutique guesthouse and have been promoting it a lot lately. Because the interior decoration has a very traditional Chinese style, it has attracted the attention of many netizens. Many online celebrities went there to check in recently, which has led to the place being packed with people checking in every day."
"From what I understand, after your aunt hyped it up, she started charging for the Hengyang Courtyard. Anyone who wants to enter and check in will have to pay 50 yuan per person."
After listening to her explanation, Sang Ruo's eyes widened in shock.
I never expected things to develop like this.
"She said a while ago that she was moving in, but it turns out they didn't move in after all?"
"They probably haven't moved in yet. According to the information from our informants, they are currently living elsewhere. They probably want to make a quick buck from the Hengyang courtyard and then move in once they've made enough."
A surge of anger instantly rushed to the top of Sang Ruo's head.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go check it out right away..."
Before the other party could respond, she quickly hung up the phone.
The hand gripping the phone tightened its hold uncontrollably, the knuckles turning white.
The courtyard in Hengyang has four floors. It was designed and decorated according to my grandfather's aesthetic, and it has a very classical artistic feel. That location was once lent to many film crews to shoot TV series. Since my grandfather passed away, no film crew has come in.
Its popularity is not as high as it used to be.
But that was her and her grandfather's former home, which has now become a tool for her uncle's family to make money.
She found it hard to swallow this insult.
Sang Ruo quickly grabbed her bag and headed towards the door: "Annie, I have something urgent to do, so I might be back late tonight. You take the kids to dinner first."
"good."
Chen Anni originally wanted to ask her where she was going, but seeing her hurried appearance, she didn't ask any further questions.
Hengyang Courtyard is not far from Youfeng Tower, but it is a forty-minute walk from the clinic.
When Sang Ruo arrived there, it was already past six in the evening.
She hadn't been to Hengyang Courtyard for a long time, and when she saw it for the first time, she hardly recognized it.
The courtyard is still the same courtyard, but it has been decorated with a lot of fancy decorations, making it look like a tourist attraction. It no longer has the feeling of home that Grandpa used to have.
Seeing the Hengyang Courtyard that had been completely renovated, Sang Ruo's resentment and anger suddenly intensified.
She strode in quickly and began dispersing the crowd: "Please everyone ask the owner for a refund and don't linger here! This isn't a tourist attraction! Please cooperate and get your refunds and leave immediately!"
After Sang Ruo finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on her.
"Who is this person? Why are they asking us for a refund? I just bought a ticket and came in!"
"That's right! Didn't they say it would be free photos, until you were satisfied?"
"Why should we get a refund? We've only been here for ten minutes! Please give us a reasonable explanation!"
"That's right! That's right!"
...
The incessant chatter of the crowd reached my ears.
Just as Sang Ruo was about to respond to them, her wrist was pulled from behind.
Before she could even see who was pulling her, she was already being dragged toward the door.
She only managed to see the other person clearly when she was dragged to the doorway.
The woman, dressed in a long black dress with waist-length curly hair, exuded a strong aura of ferocity as she glared at Sang Ruo.
The person in front of her was none other than her cousin, Sang Yun.
"What did you just mean? Why are you asking everyone to get refunds?"
Sang Yun looked at her with a puzzled expression, a deep anger rising in her eyes as she stared intently at Sang Ruo.
Sang Ruo and Sang Yun are six years apart in age, but their relationship has never been good. Sang Yun doesn't like her much and is even jealous of her for marrying well.
Sang Yun, however, has been picky and has not married herself off for many years. Now she is an old spinster, but she still has high aspirations and dreams of joining a wealthy family like the Bo family.
"Hengyang Courtyard is Grandpa's house, not a hotel or a tourist attraction. What exactly are you trying to do by turning it upside down like this?"
"What are you trying to do?" Sang Yun curled her lips into a cold smile. "You want to make money, of course! Such a good place, wouldn't it be stupid not to use it to make money? Don't you have any business sense? You're a clinic owner after all..."
"Starting tomorrow, immediately announce that you are ceasing operations! This is Grandpa's home, not a tool for you to profit from!"
Sang Ruo glared at her angrily, her eyes filled with rage.
"This house is in my mother's name. How we use it is our own business, and it's not really your concern, is it?"
Sang Yun looked down at her with disdain in her eyes.
Sang Ruo gave a sneer: "This house was originally an inheritance left to me by my grandfather. Don't you know how it ended up in your hands? Why do you have to make me say it so unpleasantly?"
"All I know is that a house belongs to whoever's name it's registered under!"
Sang Ruo bluntly stated, "You stole the house! How is your behavior any different from that of robbers?"
