Xiao Ran just got off work.
I just went downstairs and haven't even gotten on my little electric scooter yet.
When he heard his phone ring, he calmly took it out, opened it, and his expression changed completely.
Doesn't this mean tomorrow?
Why did you come today?
Are you trying to raid their base?
No martial ethics!
Thinking about it, he didn't even bother to reply to the message. He got on his electric scooter and sped off towards his home.
It only took me eight minutes to get home from school.
Actually, it wasn't that Xiao Ran was afraid of his mother checking up on him; he was mainly worried that Yan Xici, who wasn't very mentally strong, would feel awkward.
After all, she would get nervous meeting her classmates' parents when she was in school, let alone the one she was meeting now, who was her sister's ex-mother-in-law!
......
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still chatting when they heard the door beep, and Xiao Ran walked in from outside.
He didn't even bother to change his shoes before calling out, "Mom!"
Qiu Yuru looked at her son with a smile, "You're back. Xici made fish tonight. Can you smell the aroma?"
The thing I was worried about didn't happen.
The son did not move his house to one of those old, dilapidated apartments.
Moreover, the environment of this new community is indeed very nice.
This put Qiu Yuru's mind at ease, and she naturally became much more amiable in her speech.
However, she still has a question in her mind.
That's the kind of neighborhood where a 120-square-meter apartment would cost at least seven or eight million.
She really had no idea where Xiao Ran got so much money.
However, with Yan Xici present, what she originally wanted to ask was whether Yan Li had bought the house, but instead became, "Your house looks nice, it must have been expensive, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran smiled as he changed his shoes.
"This house is alright. I guess I'm lucky; I sold the copyright to one of my books."
Honestly, if I hadn't sold the copyright, I wouldn't have had that much money to buy a new house.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuru was taken aback!
What?
They sold the copyright?
After realizing what had happened, the expression on her face instantly changed from surprise to delight.
His eyes shone with excitement!
Wow, so this is what it means to be successful!
I originally thought he was just writing books for fun.
Although I have never opposed it, I have also never really supported it.
Let it develop naturally.
Unexpectedly, as things progressed, his books were even adapted into TV series!
This is truly fantastic news for Qiu Yuru!
After all, what mother doesn't want to see her son succeed?
Because of her excitement, her voice unconsciously rose a notch.
"Really? You're pretty impressive!"
Xiao Ran said calmly, "It's alright, about three million. I managed to scrape together a down payment. Once we sell the old house and pay off the rest, we'll still have over four million left."
To be honest, Shanghai is a wonderful city, but it is also a very realistic one.
This reality is particularly evident in rents and housing prices.
Without money, finding a place to stay here is really difficult.
Although his mother didn't ask directly, Xiao Ran understood what she was worried about.
So I explained the situation clearly and directly, so as not to worry her.
Sure enough, Qiu Yuru was completely relieved after he said that.
After all, as a businesswoman, she has a natural sensitivity to numbers.
Although the area is a little smaller, it's all returned in cash, so I feel much more at ease!
"Good lad, you've got some skills!"
Look at this, he's only been writing for a few years and he's already sold the copyright. That's a dream that many people can't achieve in their entire lives.
But it actually came true with my own son!
He used to buy a house with his royalties, and now he's buying a house with his copyright fees!
I have to say, she really never caused her family any worry!
Although he was happy inside, he held back and didn't offer too much praise.
This is a common problem among most parents: they are not good at expressing themselves!
Even if she thinks her son is the best, she'll only say it lightly and casually.
Hmm, it's alright.
Yes, that's good.
However, Xiao Ran didn't care. As long as he wasn't scolded, he was happy.
The fish is almost cooked now.
The girl hurriedly went into the kitchen and first washed a small bunch of cilantro.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the living room, looking at Qiu Yuru with a serious expression and an indescribable obedience in his tone.
"Auntie, do you eat cilantro?"
Although Xiao Ran likes to eat cilantro, it doesn't mean his mother does.
This thing is like a durian.
People who like it love it to death, while people who don't like it find the smell of it irritating.
And it's not even guaranteed to be hereditary!
The girl understood this very well.
So, just to be on the safe side, she went out and asked.
It's always better to be prepared!
Qiu Yuru had no right to ask a girl to cook.
I am, after all, an elder!
"Let me help you. I feel bad seeing you doing all this by yourself."
She stood up as she spoke.
Seeing that his mother was about to go help, Xiao Ran quickly stopped her.
"I've been driving all afternoon, I'll go instead. You just sit and rest while we wait for the food!"
After saying that, he turned and walked into the kitchen.
Mom's sudden appearance today must have given the girl quite a fright, so as her older brother, he has to go and comfort her.
