In the end, when Song Xia's younger brother returned to China, he still did not choose to stay at the Ji family villa because Grandpa Ji had recently recovered well and he wanted to go home for the Chinese New Year.
Then Song Xia's mother was successfully discharged from the hospital, so they went to the house that Song Xia had just bought.
Because of Song's mother's illness, Song Xia did not buy a villa in the suburbs, but a large apartment in the city center. After all, the medical conditions in the city center are better, and if anything happens, the treatment will be more timely.
It's not that I don't want to buy the villa in the Ji family's current community, because both the location and the environment are top-notch. Nowadays, it's impossible to get approval to build a new community like this.
City A has many wealthy people, and the houses here are in short supply. Very few people want to sell, and most of them are transferred between friends. Since Song Xia couldn't buy one right away, she had to settle for second best.
Fortunately, the large flat she bought was newly built, and the interior decoration was meticulously designed by international designers, making it the kind of place where you can move in immediately. She also used some connections to buy the top-floor duplex.
"Such a big house, how much did it cost!" Song's mother liked it, but she also felt genuinely distressed.
"When I'm hospitalized, you spend so much money hiring a caregiver, why did you buy such a big house?"
Song Xia smiled as she helped her pack: "Since we've already bought it, let's just buy it all at once. Don't worry, Mom, I'm doing well at Ji's now, and I also make some investments, so the mortgage isn't a big burden."
Yes, despite having signed an agreement with Mr. Ji and having substantial investment income, she still took out a significant loan to buy this house.
There was no way around it; housing prices in City A were too high, especially for duplex apartments in the city center, which were priced no lower than detached villas. However, she was confident in her financial situation, and paying off the loan was only a matter of time.
"Xiaoyu, your room is this way."
Song Yu silently placed the suitcase in the wardrobe. Each room has a separate bathroom and dressing room, and his luggage looked pitifully empty in the wardrobe.
"Rest well today, and I'll take you shopping for some clothes and shoes tomorrow."
Song Yu frowned: "Sis, I have enough clothes and shoes."
"That's enough. Look at you, you're still wearing the clothes I bought for you last year. Didn't I transfer money to you so you could buy more?"
"Having a change of clothes at school is enough."
Song Xia sighed softly and looked at him seriously: "Do you think it's not easy for your sister to earn money? Do you think your sister is being wronged after marrying into the Ji family? Xiao Yu, the truth may be a little different from what you think. Grandpa Ji is a very good person and never makes things difficult for me. I married Ji Jianfei and I basically don't go back to the Ji family, let alone have any conflicts. There's also Xiao Ye, whom I need to take care of. He is very obedient and sensible. Your sister is very glad that she made that choice back then."
Song Yu looked at her stubbornly, with a skeptical look that seemed to say, "How could you expect me to believe you?"
“Xiaoyu, if I don’t sign an agreement with Grandpa Ji, I might never become the general manager of Ji’s Group. In this position, I can do many things I’ve always wanted to do. I can complete my life plan ahead of time. In fact, I’m the one who’s benefiting.”
"Sister, do you really think so? But the best years of your life have been wasted."
"How come you think the same way as Mom?" Song Xia nodded at his head. "What's wrong with doing the best things during the best years of your life? Life isn't just about getting married and having children. For your sister, being able to use marriage to get the resources I want is a win, because I never planned to live with a man for the rest of my life."
Song Yu seemed to be deep in thought. His thinking seemed narrow-minded. He couldn't imagine such an excellent older sister cooking and cleaning for a man. Especially since he was a man and usually had the most contact with men, he knew best the inherent flaws of men.
If that man is still unclean, doesn't like doing housework, and doesn't discipline the children after marriage... Song Yu took a deep breath. It's better for his sister to stay single. After all, she doesn't have anyone she truly loves. It's better not to gamble on human nature.
"So don't feel guilty, your sister is really satisfied with her life now."
After they talked it out, Song Yu was no longer as conflicted as before. The two left the room, and just then Ji Ye came over with some things. When Song Xia first bought the house, she gave Ji Ye access and a password, and he even had a room, so they went straight in.
As soon as Ji Ye entered the door, he made eye contact with Song Yu. Remembering the thoughts he had heard earlier, he smiled and greeted him first.
"Uncle, I am Ji Ye."
Song Yu was unsure what expression to make, but upon hearing the address "little uncle," he immediately felt awkward. This was truly his sister's lucky big son, literally.
Although he felt it wasn't right for his sister to have such a grown stepson at such a young age, the boy was quite polite, and perhaps, as his sister had said, he was indeed well-behaved and sensible!
This made it even harder for him to understand why Old Master Ji was so worried about such an outstanding child and insisted on having his sister marry into the family as a stepmother.
Little did he know that when Song Xia first arrived at the Ji family, Ji Ye was not like this at all. His relationship with both Ji Jianfei and Mei Xue was strained. It seemed that he cared about no one except for Old Master Ji. He was cold and indifferent, not at all like a child. The Ji family villa was deathly silent.
Moreover, Old Master Ji is old and frail, and he is unable to concentrate on his work. If he falls ill, problems are likely to arise in the Ji family business. Ji Ye is too young to take on the responsibility. At this time, a capable and pure-hearted person is needed to manage the Ji family business while also guiding Ji Ye.
Undoubtedly, among all the people that Old Master Ji could contact, Song Xia was the most suitable.
Whether it's teaching Ji Ye or managing the Ji family, Song Xia's performance has far exceeded Old Master Ji's initial expectations, which is why he decided to go home for the New Year this year.
"Hello Xiaoye, my name is Song Yu."
Song Yu took the things from Ji Ye's hands, but he didn't expect that this was only part of it. There was also a driver behind him, who was covered in things. Not only that, but the elevator was also piled up with things.
"Why did you buy so much stuff?" Song Xia hurriedly went to get it. Luckily, this large apartment had three elevators per unit, otherwise it would have inconvenienced others.
"When moving to a new house, you're bound to lack everything, so you just buy whatever comes to mind."
In no time, not only was the kitchen refrigerator full, but the living room was also filled with more decorations and flowers, and even a dog kennel and dog bowl were placed on the balcony.
"Sis, you guys have a dog?"
"Yes, it's a golden retriever named Xiaowu, which Xiaoye named. We'll bring it over to see its new home tomorrow."
Upon learning that his sister was also interested in raising a dog, Song Yu was finally relieved. It seemed that his sister was really living a good life in the Ji family.
