The two cards together amount to 200,000 yuan.
The girl clutched the two cards in her hand, frowning as she thought for a moment.
Fearing that this was still not enough, he picked up the small white bag on the table and took out a credit card from it.
This was given to me by my dad. He said it was for me to use the card whenever I needed money, and the limit wasn't high, only 20,000 yuan in total.
Although I always carry it with me, I've never used it, even though the credit limit is full.
This was all her possessions.
Over the years, Xiao Ran has been taking care of me, buying groceries and cooking for me. Without those ordinary three meals a day, I wouldn't have been able to save so much money.
Moreover, he took care of me not only with my daily meals, but also with things that cannot be measured in money.
I hope I can help him.
With that thought in mind, the girl clutched the three cards in her hand and hurriedly rushed downstairs.
At this moment, Xiao Ran was still sitting on the bed worrying about where the remaining 200,000 yuan would come from when he heard a series of heavy footsteps coming from the corridor. Then, Yan Xici, panting heavily, appeared in front of his door.
Several cards were still tightly clutched in their two hands placed together.
Xiao Ran's brow furrowed. "What's wrong with you?"
The girl swallowed hard, stood at the door, and handed over the card in her hand.
When she looked at Xiao Ran, her eyes were even more serious. "Brother, this is all the money I have. Including my credit card, it's a total of 220,000 yuan. Take it for emergencies."
Xiao Ran was stunned.
Is she... going to use her money for herself?
He's not a child anymore; he's a mature 24-year-old divorced man who naturally knows how long it would take to save that much money.
I never expected that she would be willing to give me all her money without reservation.
Two hundred thousand is a considerable sum; even colleagues wouldn't lend it to him.
An indescribable feeling of being moved flowed silently through my heart.
Her hands, which had been hanging casually, were now clenched together, and her elbows were resting on her legs.
Does she really trust herself that much?
Aren't you afraid he'll run off with her money?
Don't forget, he's not her brother-in-law anymore; their familial relationship no longer exists.
"No need, take it back." Xiao Ran pretended to be calm.
He borrowed the money to buy a house, not to handle any major matters. If he really couldn't raise enough money, he could have postponed the purchase.
It's not like we'll die if we don't change it now.
He couldn't bear to use the money she had saved up little by little.
Especially since it was money from a young girl who was four years younger than him and hadn't even entered society yet.
He felt uneasy after taking her money.
Seeing that he didn't want her, the girl became a little anxious, her eyes flashing with tiny glints.
"It's okay, brother, just take it. Besides, I don't usually need money. I know you're trying to scrape together money to buy a house, and you definitely can't buy a house without it."
"Then let's not buy it."
Xiao Ran shrugged; he really didn't want to use her money.
"That won't do! A new environment, a new life—we absolutely have to buy a house!"
The girl spoke with great certainty.
She also hoped that Xiao Ran could leave the past behind and start a new life. She would do anything to help him leave the past behind.
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't speak, she tentatively said, "How about you consider this my investment? This 200,000 yuan is my investment money, how about that?"
By investing in his new house, I'd have even more reason to move in.
If he tries to kick her out, she can confidently tell him, "I've invested in this, so you can't kick me out!"
The girl thought it was a great deal and even secretly rejoiced at her own cleverness.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh. "I'm buying a house. I've heard of investing in a business, but I've never heard of investing in a house. Isn't this ridiculous?"
The girl pouted slightly, seemingly quite dissatisfied with his explanation, "Then you can pay me back when you earn money in the future, it's not like I gave it to you for free."
Xiao Ran shook his head. "That won't work either."
How can an adult use a child's money? If word gets out, not only will others look down on him, but he himself will also despise himself.
Seeing his persistence, the girl sighed and said earnestly, word by word, "You've been taking care of me all these years. In my heart, we're already family. When family members encounter difficulties, they should help each other. Besides, I'm going to live with you anyway, so consider this a deposit. You can return it to me when I leave one day."
"Or how about I consider this an investment, with a 5% annual interest rate?"
Girls who study economics are quite shrewd. According to national regulations, interest rates exceeding 3% are considered high interest. Generally, the interest rate of 0.05% for principal-protected financial products is considered high. In that case, her brother-in-law should have no reason to refuse her.
Don't be fooled by her quiet demeanor; she's actually quite perceptive.
My sister has earned so much money, and all of it is actually marital property. My brother-in-law could have taken half of it. Even if it were just one-thirtieth, he wouldn't have had to borrow money from others.
The reason for borrowing money is definitely because my sister didn't share any money with my brother-in-law. It's only right and proper that I help him out.
After the girl finished speaking, she quickly went into the house, placed the card on the desk next to Xiao Ran's bed, and then turned and quickly walked out of Xiao Ran's room.
"My passwords are all my birthday!"
He has to take the money, whether he wants it or not!
