Lin Haitao looked at his somewhat bewildered daughter and said, "Yang Xile is a very good child, but she will be a ruthless and decisive character in the business world in the future. I don't mean anything by it, so don't overthink it."
Lin Xiao smiled upon hearing this: "Even if Dad is right, he is an extremely formidable character, a ruthless person. But I am not his target in the business war, so what is there to worry about?"
But if that's how his father judged Yang Xile, what would his opinion be if he saw Wei Changfeng?
In the entertainment industry, which seems no less complex than the business world, is Wei Changfeng as simple as he appears, or is he also a ruthless character?
Lin Xiao knew that she had not yet explained Wei Changfeng's reasons and stance to her father. However, as his daughter, she still wanted to hear her father's evaluation of the person she liked from a man's perspective.
Regarding the choice of home purchase, Yang Xile also provided Lin Xiao with a lot of useful advice and suggested houses that he thought were suitable for her reference.
With the help of Wang Handong's agent, Lin Xiao also looked at a lot of places online and quickly selected two decent locations.
One is located opposite the Pompidou Centre. It is an apartment building renovated from an old building from the 1970s. It is relatively high-end and mainly offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments.
Lin Xiao liked the place very much, but his father, Lin Haitao, felt that the house was a bit small, and even though it had two bedrooms and a living room, it still felt a bit cramped.
The other location is a bit further from the city center, but it's still along the Seine. The residences are new, much larger, and have other amenities that are also up to par.
The prices of the two houses were within Lin's father's budget and were roughly the same.
Lin Haitao told his daughter to choose what she liked best, and not to worry about money or anything else.
Lin Xiao hesitated slightly; she didn't want to make a decision so quickly.
The matter of buying a house in Paris was only mentioned to her by her father after he arrived here, so it was rather sudden, and she hadn't told Wei Changfeng about it yet.
In terms of time, she had enough time to inform Wei Changfeng, but Lin Xiao was worried that this might put pressure on him.
After all, he had just mentioned to her about buying a property in Beijing during the summer, and he was actively seeking Lin Xiao's opinion, asking her what kind of house she liked.
If Lin Xiao turned around and told him that he had already bought a house in Paris, without revealing anything to him at all, wouldn't he feel betrayed?
Although they didn't talk much about the future, Lin Xiao could sense that they were both silently working towards the goal of being together in the end.
After thinking it over for a long time, Lin Xiao decided to tell Wei Changfeng about it. After all, he was very open with her, so she shouldn't hide anything from him.
Wei Changfeng even told him that he owned several properties, including a vacant villa in the area surrounding Beijing, houses in Hainan and his hometown, and that he had invested in a cultural tourism town project that had failed. He was completely open with Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was actually reluctant to talk about her complicated family affairs, but she felt that these things should not be hidden, so she told Wei Changfeng that her family was a blended family. Her mother and her later uncle lived in a small border town in Yunnan, and she lived with her father, stepfather, and half-sister.
She asked Wei Changfeng to search online for her father's name and the Lin's Pharmaceutical Group. Wei Changfeng then discovered that Lin Xiao was indeed a true heiress from a wealthy family. No wonder he had sensed a calm and composed demeanor from the moment he met her, as if she were unfazed by anything.
"Haha, your family is rich and powerful. I'm really climbing the social ladder." As soon as he said that, he realized he had misspoke.
Because Lin Xiao hadn't acknowledged his status as her boyfriend, and although they were in close contact, they always maintained a friendship. His actions were tantamount to him confirming his boyfriend status, which was rather shameless.
However, Lin Xiao on the other end of the phone didn't say anything, but just chuckled softly and said, "See, I told you I didn't want to talk about it, and now you're making fun of me like this."
Lin Xiao had made up her mind about buying a house and was waiting for Wei Changfeng to have some free time, because she wanted to tell him directly rather than through a message.
Finally, he texted her that day, saying he had just finished filming and returned home, and asked what she was doing and if she had time to chat.
Lin Xiao's video call came through quickly, and Wei Changfeng answered happily, asking her into the camera, "How's my look today? I just got back and haven't taken off my makeup yet."
Lin Xiao looked at him in the video, dressed in a dark green military uniform with a cool hairstyle, and asked, "You look handsome. What kind of military uniform is that?"
"Yes, it's a Kuomintang uniform."
"What? You're playing a villain? Weren't you supposed to be a radio expert?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
Wei Changfeng laughed heartily: "Haha, he's an undercover agent, an undercover agent in the enemy's camp, not a bad guy."
Seeing how happy he was, Lin Xiao also became happy and praised him repeatedly, saying, "You're a super handsome undercover agent! But it's easy for female spies to take a liking to you like that."
"Don't worry, I won't be captured by the female spy. I will remain chaste!" Wei Changfeng joked.
The two chatted happily for a while about everyday things, and then Lin Xiao said he had something to tell him.
Hearing her serious tone, Wei Changfeng also became a little nervous, wondering what she was going to say. He just hoped she wouldn't tell him that she had met a boy she liked or a romantic French man in France.
Unexpectedly, what Lin Xiao told him was that she was going to buy a house in Paris.
Although Wei Changfeng had never been to the top floor where Lin Xiao now lived, he had seen it during their video calls over the past few days. It was a very cozy and tidy room with a nice view from the window, but it was also really small.
Since returning to China, he has often paid attention to news reports from France and knows that the romantic country of art is not all good, and various extreme incidents occur frequently.
Especially after personally experiencing being robbed in Paris, he was actually quite worried about the city's overall security situation.
Lin Xiao would feel much more at ease if he lived alone in a better, safer, and bigger place.
So he said to Lin Xiao, "I don't know about housing prices in Paris. They must be much more expensive than in Beijing, right? How much money do you need? I have some here. Some of it I invested in mutual funds with Brother Hui, and some is in regular investments and savings accounts, but I can withdraw it anytime."
Don't worry about the money. Paris doesn't seem very safe, so when buying a house, make sure to choose the best and safest neighborhood.
His words stunned Lin Xiao. Why would she ask him for money to buy a house? Besides, the two of them were only in the ambiguous friendship stage.
However, Lin Xiao was very touched by Wei Changfeng's words. She could tell that he truly did not consider her an outsider and treated her affairs as his own.
Lin Xiao laughed and asked Wei Changfeng, "Didn't you say I was a rich heiress a while ago? Why are you giving me money now? Aren't you afraid I'm a conman?"
"Haha, don't worry, you can cheat me out of money, sex, or even your body, I'd be happy to oblige," Wei Changfeng said cheerfully.
