"Things in this world are really hard to predict."
Shen Jun was particularly moved. She used to not believe in fate, but if there really was such a thing as fate, why did she, Shen Jun, die in her fifties when she had never done anything wrong?
But later she traveled back to the 1980s and lived there as Zou Minzhaofa. She waited for eight long years with a tiny belief, thinking she would never see her daughter again. But because of a robbery, she and her daughter were reunited.
Shen Jun began to believe in fate.
Chu Yu then told her about Hualai Film and Television Company and Mandarin Clothing Store. Shen Jun had naturally heard of the huge success of "The Businesswoman" before, but at that time she did not know that the drama was actually produced by her daughter.
"Shu Hui is so lucky. Chu Xiang can write books, and you are good at managing things. You not only made Chu Xiang famous, but also made Chu Chu an actress, laying a good foundation for her future career."
"Chuchu had developmental delays before. I figured she wasn't outstanding in her studies and didn't have any particular talents, so I thought it might be better for her to become an actress. Fortunately, she does have a talent for acting. Recently, I found her a few good roles to film, hoping to give her some acting experience. However, whether she will pursue this career in the future is up to her to decide."
Chu Yu then talked to Shen Jun about Luo Kangcheng.
"We met back in our hometown of Deyang."
Chu Yu recounted how Luo Kangcheng had recovered from a vegetative state, a medical miracle that left Shen Jun in awe.
However, along the way, Chu Yu met many people who could help her.
“By the way, Mom,” Chu Yu suddenly said, “My uncle and I opened a furniture store together, and we even imported a production line from abroad. The furniture we make is quite nice, no worse than the furniture popular in later years. I was thinking that you can’t continue living in your house there, so why don’t I buy you a house nearby, bring some furniture from my furniture store over, and renovate it?”
Hearing that her daughter also owns a furniture store, Shen Jun admired her even more, and the mother and daughter didn't stand on ceremony.
"Damn, I don't know when we'll get the money back."
"With your daughter here, why would you need to spend your own money? Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll buy you a house, renovate it for you, and make sure you live comfortably, just like my other mother."
This is truly an amazing thing; Chu Yu has two mothers at the same time.
Shen Jun smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll leave Mom to you. You're such a busy person, running so many businesses and still going to university. Aren't you worried about not having enough brainpower?"
"It's all because you were born into good families. Besides, I've lived two lives, I can't just sit around and not make money, can I? In modern terms, there are opportunities everywhere these days. I have to seize the time and do my best in all the trending industries so that I can ensure that I will be rich and worry-free for the next hundred years."
The next day, Chu Yu asked a real estate agent to help her find a house.
Upon hearing that she wanted to buy another courtyard house, Ding Da was overjoyed, knowing that business had come his way, and he became especially attentive to Chu Yu.
“I usually reserve good listings for you, but the one I’m showing you today is the best one I’ve had in the last few months. It’s not too far from your mother’s place, and while it’s not very big, the location is really convenient, and the school district is good too. I figured you’d definitely like it, so I’ve reserved it for you.”
Chu Yu took Shen Jun to look at houses together.
"Mom, what do you think of this house?"
Ding Da looked at Shen Jun with a puzzled expression. "Is this your mother? I remember your mother didn't look like this."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "This is my godmother. I'm buying her a house this time. As long as she likes it, everything is fine."
Ding Da understood the situation and immediately began to explain the house to Shen Jun in a very fluent manner.
"Although this house is old, its feng shui is really good. It is said that several top scholars came from the family that lived here, and the ancestors of the family all lived relatively peaceful lives. In our lives, we don't ask for wealth or power. What we ordinary people just want is peace and safety, right?"
Shen Jun deeply understands this. She doesn't seek fame or fortune in this life; she just wants to take good care of her daughter and hopes that her daughter can live a peaceful and safe life.
The courtyard house is smaller than Shu Hui's, but it's more convenient for dining and transportation. It's also close to a famous ancient street. Shen Jun had visited this street in her previous life, and it has since been developed into a tourist attraction. There are many courtyard-style guesthouses on this street, and they are not cheap.
“If Mom buys this place, she can run a bed and breakfast to make money when she gets old,” Shen Jun said softly.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "With such a capable daughter, why would you need to run a guesthouse for retirement? Do you like this house? If you do, I'll buy it for you."
Chu Yu is acting like buying houses is as easy as buying groceries.
Shen Jun couldn't help but laugh; he'd loved buying houses so much in both his lives.
This house has been renovated and has everything it needs. If Shen Jun doesn't want to waste time decorating, she can just buy some new furniture and change some soft furnishings and move in. The important thing is that the toilet has been renovated well and doesn't have the problems that old houses usually have.
Chu Yu thought it was good; the price wasn't too expensive, and most importantly, she could move in immediately, which was something other houses couldn't compare to.
"Mom, let's buy this set. I'll have my uncle send some furniture from Deyang, the kind that's leftover stock from the warehouse, made of solid wood, so it won't need to be aired out to smell before we can use it."
Shen Jun let her make the arrangements, "Mom has no objections. This place is close to your mother Shu Hui's place, so it's convenient for Mom to visit you."
Upon hearing this, Ding Da was overjoyed and didn't know what to do. He was getting engaged and getting married in the winter, and there would be many expenses afterward. If this order went through, Ding Da would finally have a wife.
"Sister, you won't make a mistake in choosing this house. These old houses are all cultural relics. Their value will only increase in the future, not decrease. When you get old, you can sell this house and have enough money to live comfortably in Beijing, or even go to the United States!"
