Chapter 96 Persuading Her to Sell the House

"You like foreign countries so much and yearn for life abroad so much, why don't you try living abroad?"

Zeng Yanli hesitated. She had never been abroad, but that did not stop her from yearning for foreign countries. Many of her peers had moved abroad, lived in big houses, drank foreign wine, married foreigners, and gave birth to blonde and blue-eyed dolls, which were so adorable.

Unlike her, although it looks okay, the house is much smaller than the one her ancestors lived in, and she doesn't have much money. Even the car was rented for the sake of face. She didn't dare let Ji Huayan know, for fear of being laughed at by her.

Thinking of this, the depression in her heart rose up again.

If her father hadn't donated all the family's money, she wouldn't have ended up like this!

She must have gone out to eat and drink delicious food long ago, so why would she need to go to a shabby school in this poor place? From the beginning to the end, she was very eager to live abroad one day, which is why she gave her son a foreign name.

"I want to, too, but your brother-in-law disagrees."

Ji Huayan said, "What a pity. I heard that people there are very free, the food is cheap, and they provide free medical treatment. The environment is good and the air is sweet. If I could really go there, I would definitely be a superior person in the future."

Zeng Yanli was very excited when she heard this, "But, I heard that it used to cost a lot of money."

Where did she get so much money?

"What's the big deal? If you really want to move, you won't be able to live in the house here. You might as well sell it and use it for travel expenses." Ji Huayan said lightly.

Zeng Yanli thought it made sense, but after thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, my dad only left me this house. If I really sell it, I will have nothing."

"What's the point of keeping this house in a poor place?" Ji Huayan curled her lips, "You really should think about it carefully, if not for yourself, you should also think about Alan."

Seeing that Zeng Yanli still looked hesitant, she changed the subject and stopped talking about it.

If she hadn't been there for two years and still couldn't get used to the place, she would have run away.

On the other side, Zhou Nuan returned home from school, said goodbye to Zhang Xi, and pushed the door open and walked in.

Qin Yuezhi was sitting on the carpet in the living room with her twins. Since both children could crawl, Zhou Nuan asked them to move away the extra things in the living room and lay the carpet so that the two little ones would have enough space to move around.

Gu Xiaodong was sitting there playing with a rattle in his hand, while Gu Xixi was restlessly grabbing a chair and trying hard to stand up and walk.

Hearing the door opening, the little ones looked back and saw that it was their mother. Xiaodong threw away the rattle in his hand, stretched out his hands to Zhou Nuan, and cried “ah ah” twice, asking for a hug.

Gu Xixi glanced at her and turned back to continue his own business.

Qin Yuezhi asked hurriedly, "You're back? How's he doing? How's Xiaohang doing in school? Is he being obedient? Has he caused any trouble for the teacher?"

Zhou Nuan reached out and picked up Xiaodong, and then put Gu Xixi in the center of the carpet. The child was still too young, and it would be bad for her legs and feet to learn to walk too early.

This action made Gu Xixi unhappy. She clenched her little fist and waved it at Zhou Nuan twice. Then her attention was attracted by the rattle on the ground. She grabbed it and started to chew it again.

This child... I really don't know who he looks like.

Zhou Nuan ignored her and said while hugging Gu Xiaodong familiarly, "Mom, you don't have to worry about Su Hang. When has he ever made us worry?"

Qin Yuezhi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, and she couldn't help but relax.

As they were talking, the door was opened from the outside. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked over and saw a tall figure walking in. It turned out to be Gu Xiyue who returned.

Zhou Nuan was surprised: Didn't he say he had something to do today? Why did he come back so early?

Just when I was about to ask, Gu Xixi, who was chewing a rattle nearby, also recognized her father. She threw the rattle away, her eyes shining, and quickly crawled over, making a "da da" sound.

Zhou Nuan: ...

Gu Xiyue picked up his daughter, pinched her little face, and then looked at Zhou Nuan.

"Is the matter done?" Zhou Nuan asked.

Gu Xiyue hummed, "I just went to school and didn't pick you up."

"The parents' meeting ended early, so I came back first. Su Hang performed well in school and even got first place this time. The teacher kept praising him."

She told Qin Yuezhi what happened at school, but she didn't mention Zeng Yanli because she was afraid that Qin Yuezhi would think too much. Qin Yuezhi was a good person, but she was too pushy and was always afraid that others would dislike her. She was afraid that she would care too much about other people's feelings and would wrong Su Hang.

Gu Xiyue just listened, and his expression didn't change much, as if it was just a normal thing for Su Hang to get the first place in the school.

"Su Hang performed so well this time, I thought of buying him a gift he likes as a reward."

"You arrange this matter. You can ask him when he comes back, but I don't think he will agree." Gu Xiyue paused and looked at her intently. "If you have nothing else, come with me?"

"Where to go?" Zhou Nuan was confused.

"You'll know when you get to the past."

He didn't answer directly. Zhou Nuan thought there was something that Qin Yuezhi couldn't know, so she handed the child to Qin Yuezhi, got up and followed him out the door.

After they went out, he said nothing and just took her to the car.

Zhou Nuan was stuffed into the passenger seat, and the man remained mysterious until the car started moving.

"Where are we going?" she asked curiously.

"Go and see the house."

Gu Xiyue was very calm, and his tone was as if he was going to the market to buy vegetables.

Zhou Nuan turned to look at him in astonishment.

The man was concentrating on driving. His profile showed clear contours, his jawline was rough and powerful, his skin was slightly dark, and his eyes were firm.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and then returned to the front, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a home?"

An indescribable feeling arose in Zhou Nuan's heart, just like a seedling breaking through the soil and growing wildly in the wind.

This man... is so handsome.

So when he said he had something to do today, he meant he was going to look for a house?

"Did you go out of your way to look for a house?" she asked, her voice choking.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't touched. This man seemed to always be able to give her surprises.

"Yes and no." Gu Xiyue said, "Mrs. Chen asked me to help her find a house, so it's a good opportunity for us to look for one together."

Zhou Nuan was stunned. "Sister Chen is coming to Haicheng?"

"Hmm? Remember what I told you before? Chen Saozi's husband, Director Zhao, is going to be transferred to Haicheng. Director Zhao has been appointed as the director of the Haicheng Land Bureau. They will be here in the next few days."

Director of the Land Bureau? I didn’t expect Sister Chen to be this person.

Zhou Nuan suddenly remembered something, "Is Haicheng going to hold a land auction next month?"
