Seeing him come back, Shen Qian smiled and asked, “It’s my mother’s birthday today, where are we going to eat?”
In the past, Chen Chuan was rarely around, and we would usually have a meal together outside on birthdays. Sometimes, because we were so busy, we didn’t even have time to eat.
Shen Bing and Wu Lin sat on the sofa. After not going to work for several days, the couple looked radiant and full of energy.
Wu Lin said, "Your dad said he wanted to eat at Haidilao again. I want to eat there too. How about we go there?"
"The food there tastes pretty good, I have no objection." Shen Qian said with a smile.
"No, if you want to eat, you two can go eat by yourselves later. I have plans today." Chen Chuan directly rejected the proposal and said, "Let's go, take my car."
"What's the secretive arrangement?" Wu Lin muttered. "Son, don't try to scare people. Your mother is in her forties or fifties and can't stand being scared."
"I don't need that."
"You'll find out if you follow me."
At Shen Chuan's invitation, several confused people got into the car.
Chen Chuan drove straight to Chujiangdong County, which was only a street away. After he parked the car, Chen Bing smiled and said, "Xiao Chuan, is there any special food here?"
"Haha, don't worry, just follow me and you'll find out!"
"You little brat, you're still keeping us in suspense."
Shen Chuan kept his mouth shut and led the others into the complex.
"What are you doing here?"
Walking in the community, Wu Lin's face was full of questions.
Only Shen Qian had a vague guess, and he looked at Shen Chuan in disbelief.
Without any explanation, Chen Chuan led the group to the downstairs of Building 6, and then took them into the elevator to the 18th floor.
When they arrived outside the gate of 1802, Chen Chuan turned around and looked at Wu Lin.
"Mom, in the past, I was rarely with you. Every time on your birthday, I would just say a simple Happy Birthday."
"But it's not that I don't want to accompany you, it's just that I didn't have the ability at the time. I can't afford the cost of coming back."
"But today, I must say this: starting from this year, I will be by your side on every birthday from now on."
"Not just you, but Dad's side too. I'll be there for every birthday for the rest of your lives."
Wu Lin was deeply moved, and Shen Chuan's sudden announcement made her feel warm in her heart.
"Silly boy, if you have this intention, then it wouldn't be in vain for my mother to raise a child like you."
Chen Chuan gave a silly smile and bared his teeth.
"Mom, I've prepared a surprise for you. It's in here. Open it and take a look yourself."
The next moment, he took out the key and handed it to Wu Lin.
Wu Lin was a little confused and pointed at the door hesitantly: "Inside this door?"
"Yes! It's right here."
"Magic..."
Wu Lin muttered something and opened the door with the key.
When she saw the brand new house, she didn't think much about it. She just praised it and said, "Is this the house you rented? The decoration is pretty good. How much does it cost per month?"
Shen Bing and his companions also walked into the house one after another, looking around the entire room with admiring expressions.
When they walked to the living room, Wu Lin suddenly found a property certificate on the table.
"Hey, why is the property deed on the table?"
She muttered to herself and subconsciously picked it up and opened it.
The next moment, she stood there in a daze, speechless for a long time.
Shen Bing noticed her strangeness and hurried over: "What's wrong, wife?"
As he got closer, he caught a glimpse of the name on the property deed out of the corner of his eye.
"What!! This is the house I bought???"
"No, no, why are your mother and I named on the property deed?"
"Son, you, you come over and take a look..."
Shen Bing was so shocked that he was incoherent and hurriedly called out to Shen Chuan.
Chen Chuan did not step forward, but just looked at the old couple with a smile on his face.
"You, this..."
Seeing Shen Chuan's eyes, Shen Bing's body trembled.
"This is the house I bought for you. From today on, you no longer need to live in that shabby rental house."
Suddenly, Wu Lin's eyes turned red and tears as big as beans kept falling down.
"So you lied to us last time when you said you would buy insurance for me and your dad?"
"Yes, I know your personalities. If you knew I was going to buy you a house, you might not accept it, so I bought it without telling you."
Chen Chuan's tone was filled with the joy of having fulfilled a long-cherished wish. He pointed around and said in a loud voice, "This is my birthday present for you, Mom. Do you like it?"
Wu Lin suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
"Mom, why are you crying?" Chen Qian winked at Luo Jiao, signaling her to help her mother up. "Your youngest son has made great progress. This is a great thing. From now on, our family will finally have a stable place to stay in Jiangcheng."
Shen Binghu's eyes were moist, and he turned sideways to take a deep breath.
This sudden surprise shocked the two of them and they could not calm down for a while.
Because this surprise is really too big.
As a stranger living away from home, after nearly 20 years of struggling in Jiangcheng, what is your biggest regret?
I don’t have my own house!
If you have your own house, you don't have to always look at the landlord's wishes, either raising the rent or packing up and leaving, and suffer all kinds of grievances.
If Shen Qian had a wedding house when he got married, people wouldn't gossip about him and laugh at the fact that his bride had to live in a shabby rental house.
They have so many things on their minds, half of which are about the house.
And now, their son has fulfilled their lifelong wish...
