Upon hearing this, Dong Yike looked left and right, and finally glanced under the sofa. "Yu Mobai, did you install a bugging device in my house?"
"ah?"
Yu Mobai asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"N-nothing."
Dong Yike was too embarrassed to tell anyone about Dong Muhong's request, so she could only respond with "uh-huh" in response.
When are you coming back?
Yu Mobai had already looked at several properties and filtered them based on the future surrounding environment, leaving a few for Dong Yike to choose from.
"Let's wait a couple of days."
Dong Yike glanced at her mother discreetly, "I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now."
"Wow, isn't this surprise at all?"
Yu Mobai found Dong Yike's attitude a bit strange. "If you don't choose, then I'll... both."
"He actually died."
He stared at his phone with the screen off, sitting in his chair, pondering it carefully.
...
This was the first time Dong Yike had hung up on Yu Mobai directly.
If we hadn't talked about this, we could have chatted a bit more, but since we were talking about it, it felt a little strange, especially since her own mother was watching her closely from the side.
Even in winter, one can feel uncomfortable all over.
Whose call was it?
"Dong Muhong asked."
"Yu Mobai's."
Dong Yike answered obediently.
"Oh, you think Mom's request is okay?"
Dong Muhong tried to dissuade her earnestly, "Mom isn't after money, but it's important to leave you a way out. What will you do if Yu Mobai takes back your company? Having a house means having a place to sleep."
"Mom, you've watched so many TV dramas for nothing. The company is mine, how can Yu Mobai take it back?"
Dong Yike turned on the TV with a grin, preparing to change the subject, "What kind of TV shows are you watching? They don't make any sense at all. Let me see."
"What are you looking at?"
Dong Muhong snatched back the remote and turned off the TV, glaring at him as she said, "I'm talking to you about your situation. As long as I can guarantee you anything, I won't interfere with your future."
"mom..."
Dong Yike couldn't go against her own mother's wishes. "You always said you wanted security. Yu Mobai even helped me set up a company. Why do you still want a house?"
“I saw it in a TV series a few days ago. They got the company back after giving it to them. That’s why I was worried about you.”
"What kind of crappy TV dramas are you watching? They're all fake."
"Whether it's true or not, if you want me to agree, you have to have a house!"
After finishing her sentence, Dong Muhong went straight back to her room, leaving Dong Yike alone in the living room.
"Damn it, what kind of dog-like TV series is this?"
Dong Yike couldn't help but curse, "What a load of rubbish! This is just harming people!"
She sat quietly on the sofa, unsure how to say these things to Yu Mobai, especially since she didn't want Yu Mobai's house.
Otherwise, what would this be called? A house worth six or seven hundred thousand yuan as a bride price? There has never been such a high bride price in a small county town. She wouldn't care if word got out, but Dong Muhong still has to live in the county town.
It's inevitable that people will gossip behind your back.
Unable to think of a good way to get Dong Muhong to agree, Dong Yike suddenly regretted coming back.
She could only sit blankly on the sofa watching melodramatic TV dramas to kill time.
Just an hour later, Yu Mobai's car drove into the family compound.
He knew that if Dong Yike returned, Dong Muhong would go back to her own house.
So I ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Oh, what brings you here?"
Dong Yike opened the door and was surprised to find Yu Mobai there. "Weren't you at the company?"
"I'm here to catch them in the act."
Yu Mobai walked into the house with a grin, looking around. "There's no man hiding in the house, is there?"
"It's hidden."
Dong Yike smiled back, "And there's more than one."
"You little wench, how could you do such a thing?"
After Yu Mobai finished speaking, he opened and checked each room one by one. When he finally reached Dong Muhong's room, he instructed Dong Yike to open the door.
Dong Yike opened the door, and Dong Muhong asked with a smile, "Have you thought it through?"
"Aunt Dong, it's me."
Yu Mobai leaned against the doorway and glanced inside before going in.
"Mo Bai, why are you back?"
Dong Muhong was equally curious.
"Something came up."
Without saying a word, Yu Mobai picked up Dong Muhong's coat and said, "I'll have to trouble you to come with me."
Where are we going?
"You'll see when you get there."
Dong Muhong and her daughter Dong Yike followed Yu Mobai into the car, completely oblivious to their surroundings.
While in the car, Dong Yike had already guessed where they were going.
Sure enough, when the car came to a smooth stop at a real estate sales center, Dong Yike knew she had guessed correctly.
"This is?"
Dong Muhong was also somewhat surprised, "Mo Bai, what are you trying to do?"
"Aunt Dong, I plan to buy a house for you and Yike in Shengjing."
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "This property is in a good location, and the surrounding facilities will be complete in the future."
Dong Muhong tugged at Dong Yike and asked in a low voice, "Did you tell him?"
"No."
Dong Yike shook her head, a hint of pride in her voice, "How could I possibly say that? He was the one who brought it up."
These are all existing houses, but the surrounding facilities are not yet fully developed, so there aren't many buyers, and the prices aren't high.
However, Yu Mobai knew that a few years later, this area was designated as a school district, and the housing prices increased several times over.
