Gu Rong and the others dragged their luggage to the guesthouse, checked into their rooms, and settled their belongings.
Gu Rong and Gu Xing discussed their upcoming itinerary, deciding to first check out the local housing market.
Gu Rong thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, I'm planning to buy a few courtyard houses. Do you and your wife have any houses you like?"
After glancing at Han Xinyi, Gu Xing spoke up, "No, I just thought that if I bought a place closer to you, we could help each other out if anything happens in the future."
“Okay, then let’s buy them together,” Gu Rong said, then looked at Han Xinyi: “Sister-in-law, go and see how much money you have now, and I’ll discuss with my brother where it would be better to buy them.”
"Count before you come..." Han Xinyi hadn't finished speaking when Gu Xing interrupted, "Xinyi, go take a look. Once we've discussed it here, you can go and see for yourself. You can't do it if you don't have enough money."
Hearing this, Han Xinyi immediately understood that Gu Rong had something to say to Gu Xing. She smiled and stood up, saying, "Okay, I'll go back and count. Call me if you need anything."
After Han Xinyi left, Gu Rong spoke up, "Brother, do you still remember those treasures we had in the basement when we were little?"
Gu Xing was taken aback, then patted Gu Rong's shoulder with a smile. "Of course I remember. You told me to protect those things and not to talk about them, or you'd die. I've remembered that for years. Are you saying those things are still there?"
Hearing that he really remembered, Gu Rong instantly felt as if she had returned to the past, and then smiled and said, "Yes, I still do."
Not only that, I also found all the ones that Gu Qiang had hidden, so we don't have to worry about money to buy houses. We can buy as many as we want; we have plenty of money.”
Gu Xing shook his head upon hearing this: "It's your skill that you found it, and those things are yours. I can't take them. I have enough money in my hand. If I need more, I'll borrow some from you."
People who know how to behave are likable, but being too tactful, especially when it comes to those closest to you, makes Gu Rong a little unhappy: "Brother, what do you mean by that? Why are you making such a clear distinction between us? Are you afraid I'll be a burden in the future? Fine, I'll leave then."
"No, no, no, don't be angry," Gu Xing said, not expecting Gu Rong to be angry. She quickly grabbed Gu Rong's arm and said, "I was just thinking that I can support my family on my own, so I don't need those things."
You don't want to go to university, so you'll have to rely on yourself to live in the future. You need to have more savings so you can live well and I can feel at ease. Your brother doesn't look down on you, nor does he think you're a burden. Don't be angry.
“Brother, I can live just fine without those things, you don’t need to worry about it,” Gu Rong paused for a moment, then continued, “I’ll pay for the house, it’s settled then, okay?”
Gu Xing's first reaction upon hearing this was to refuse, but looking at Gu Rong's expression, he had a feeling that if he refused, he would lose his connection with his younger sister.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xing slowly said, "Okay, I'll do as you say, you buy it."
Hearing his agreement, Gu Rong's face instantly lit up with a smile: "Okay, then you go find your sister-in-law, and we'll go look at the house now."
Looking at Gu Rong, who seemed to be able to change her expression at will, Gu Xing shook her head helplessly and then left the room.
For the next two days, Gu Rong took Gu Xing and Han Xinyi to look at houses.
Gu Rong looked at more than a dozen houses and wanted to buy them all, but unfortunately she didn't have enough money, so she could only pick and buy a few courtyard houses.
The houses she bought were all close to the city center, but she only publicly displayed two of them; the others were reserved by her through intermediaries in secret.
After buying the house, they didn't unpack it but went straight to Haishi. However, before leaving, they called Chu Jianshu, but he wasn't the one who answered.
Gu Rong left a few words, told them they were going to Shanghai, and then hung up.
By the time Chu Jianshu learned of the news and went to find them, they had already arrived in Haishi.
Because she had previously inquired about their plans and knew they didn't intend to buy a house in Haishi, she had even mentioned buying a house in Haishi, and Gu Xing had tried to dissuade her.
After Gu Rong arrived in Haishi, she told the two of them to go sightseeing on their own. She used the excuse that she didn't want to move, and after they left, she secretly went to the housing management office and secretly bought several properties and lands over two consecutive days, all of which were located near the city center.
After the housing issue was resolved, Gu Rong, Gu Xing, and Han Xinyi enjoyed a pleasant stroll.
However, there wasn't much to see in Haishi at this time of year, so I just strolled around for a bit and then moved on to the next destination.
Since Guangzhou is quite a distance away, and it would take a day or two by train, they prepared a lot of food and ate as they made their way there.
