Huang Wanzhen touched her chin and fell into deep thought. Song Wenxu has always cared more about money than people. He said that Bai Ruoshui would get four thousand oceans. If the first attempt failed, he would definitely carry out the assassination a second time.
"Wen Yin, what do you think about this? How can we stop Jinxin Company from killing my sister?"
Song Wenyin replied subconsciously, "How could I possibly give up? You know what my fifth brother is like. That's four thousand dollars. That's so much money. Not to mention your sister's life, even if it's two, my fifth brother won't give up."
Huang Wanzhen scratched her head and asked, unwilling to give up, "Is there no room for maneuver?"
Song Wenyin rested her elbows on the table, curled up the five fingers of her right hand loosely, and tapped the table alternately with her index finger and middle finger.
Huang Wanzhen saw that she was lost in thought and did not disturb her. She looked blankly ahead and was also thinking of a way out for Julie in her mind.
"Once my fifth brother takes over the business, he will fight to the death for the sake of Jinxin Company's reputation. The only way to save your sister now is to fake her death. However, if you do that, your sister will never be able to appear in public again."
Huang Wanzhen frowned slightly and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask her out to talk."
Song Wenyin shrugged. "You can't betray my fifth brother, and you certainly can't betray Bai Ruoshui. If someone else were to investigate, even if it was someone sent by the chairman, they wouldn't be able to find out the truth so quickly."
"If you tell Julie, with her spoiled temper, she'll definitely go to Bai Ruoshui to cause trouble. If that damages the reputation of Jinxin Company, my fifth brother will definitely not let Julie go. He will also retaliate against us both."
Huang Wanzhen certainly didn't want to offend the crazy Song Wenxu. If he bit her, she would bleed profusely. "Okay, I get it."
On that day, Huang Wanzhen ordered Chen Hanfeng to send a visiting card to Julie, but she did not receive a reply for several days.
Even Mrs. Huang started to urge her, "Wen Yin has already started school, why haven't you gone back yet? Don't you want to go to university anymore?"
Huang Wanzhen rested her elbows on the table, her chin in her hand as she spoke, "I don't have time to come back to see you on weekdays, and you always say I don't smile. I've only been with you for so long, and you're actually starting to dislike me."
Mrs. Huang came over and tucked the loose hair on Huang Wanzhen's forehead behind her ears. "It's not that I dislike you, but I'm afraid your school won't want you anymore. You've finally studied here for so long, and you're about to graduate. It would be so unfair to be expelled now. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it when the time comes."
Huang Wanzhen stood up, hugged Huang Dongshi's waist sideways, and said as she rocked, "Mom, you haven't seen my sister for so long, do you miss her?"
Huang Dong touched Huang Wanzhen's head lovingly and said, "Yes, I do. You and your sister are both my flesh and blood. How could I not miss you?"
Huang Wanzhen looked up at her and said, "Why don't you go back to see her?"
"That won't work," Mrs. Huang said seriously. "Qiu Guangrong has his eyes on our family wealth. If I go back to see your sister, won't he catch me? We won't be able to come up with that much by then. He won't be able to deal with us both in a short time, but it would be easy for him to deal with your sister."
"Oh, it's also my fault. When you two were little, I was busy with the affairs of the mansion and neglected to discipline you. Your sister is so left-wing now, and I'm half responsible for it."
Huang Wanzhen put her face against Huang Dong's belly, thought for a moment, and then spoke again, "Mom, I heard from Sidonie a while ago that her father's friend is planning to sell two houses near Xiafei Road. I haven't touched the money you left with me before. What do you think, should we buy one and be neighbors with Sidonie?"
Mrs. Huang was quite surprised when she heard this and asked Huang Wanzhen, "The house on Xiafei Road? I saw it in the newspaper and it said it was extremely expensive. Do we have enough money?"
Huang Wanzhen said confidently, "It's not from Xiafei Road, it's nearby. Anyway, I can get it. Just tell me if you're willing to pay."
Mrs. Huang was worried that her daughter might get into trouble while trying to get the money, so she quickly asked, "No, I don't believe you have that much money. Tell me clearly, how are you going to get the money to buy the house?"
Huang Wanzhen patted Huang Dongshi's back in a soothing manner, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing and I won't do anything that will harm others. I plan to borrow some money from my friends. You know, my friends are all very wealthy."
Mrs. Huang Dong had never borrowed money from anyone in her life. When she heard her daughter wanted to borrow money, she started to panic just by hearing her daughter's words. "This person has so much money and enjoys so much happiness. If you borrow money from others and spend it, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. What if you can't pay it back? Wanzhen, listen to your mother, we can't borrow money."
Huang Wanzhen wasn't in a hurry. She stood up and helped Huang Dong sit down on a chair. While rubbing her shoulders, she said, "Houses near Xiafei Road are hard to come by. If Sidonie hadn't suggested it, we wouldn't have been able to buy a house even if we had the money. When we first arrived in Shanghai and I was asking about houses, I heard from the salesperson at the foreign company that Xiafei Road was the most sought-after area in the French Concession. Houses there are simply out of their reach. Everyone has a few relatives and friends, and once people get the news, someone will buy them."
"We've come across such a great opportunity this time, wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't seize it? The more chaotic the world is, the more valuable the houses in the concession are. Think about it, when we first arrived in Shanghai, what were the prices of houses in the concession? How are they now? The last time Shanghai was at war, it only took a month or so, and the prices of houses in the concession doubled. How does that make sense?"
Mrs. Huang looked up at Huang Wanzhen and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Houses in the concession are so expensive now, are they going to go up any further?"
Huang Wanzhen shook her head. "The world is in such chaos, and there will be wars in the future. This is an opportunity to make a fortune. Although I won't make a fortune, think about it. Not only is the security in the concession good, but it also has extraterritoriality. As long as there is a war, the value of houses in the concession will increase."
"I'm thinking of studying abroad like my classmates in the future. That's bound to cost a lot of money. When the time comes, I can sell it to the highest bidder. That way, your retirement money won't be reduced, and I'll have enough money to pay for my study abroad."
Mrs. Huang slapped the back of Huang Wanzhen's hand. "You're about to graduate. If you want to study abroad, I support you. Just use my pension money. Don't bother with borrowing money to buy a house. I'm tired of hearing about it."
Huang Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, "Just listen to it, it's okay. You don't have to do it. I'm not afraid of getting tired, just leave it to me."
Seeing that Huang Wanzhen was determined to buy it, Mrs. Huang was flustered, but she gritted her teeth and nodded.
When Sidonie came to pick up Huang Wanzhen to look at the house, Mrs. Huang kept pulling Sidonie and said, "Xiaoni, we are not a wealthy family. Wanzhen is dazzled by that house. Please persuade her. If it is too expensive, we won't want it so we don't have to borrow money."
