Qin Ruolan's face stiffened.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Li continued, "We can give you the money."
Qin Ruolan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Wen Li with excitement.
She felt she had misjudged her granddaughter; she had thought she would be difficult to deal with, but she hadn't expected her to be so generous.
Looking at Qin Ruolan's insatiable appearance, Wen Li smiled faintly: "A house costs 200,000 yuan per square meter, and a whole house would be worth at least 30 million yuan. There's no reason for my family to be a sucker. Here's what we'll do: I'll have my dad give your son 5 million yuan for the down payment, as a wedding gift for him in the future."
Qin Ruolan was dissatisfied: "How can it only be five million? Our family is just an ordinary family. How can we afford the remaining tens of millions?"
Xu Yurong was beautiful and entered the entertainment industry at a young age. Since then, they have never worked outside. Later, Xu Yurong married Wen Tingsong and gave the family 100,000 yuan a month for living expenses, which was more than enough even in City A.
But with the high expenses over the years, the family has very little savings. Her son earns only 30,000 yuan a month, which isn't even enough to cover the interest on a mortgage.
“There’s no reason for our family to pay the full amount.” Wen Li’s voice turned colder as she continued, “Of course, there is another way.”
"I'll have my dad lend you 30 million, and you can pay us back 25,000 every month. What do you think?"
Of course it's not good!
Qin Ruolan then realized that Wen Li didn't genuinely want to borrow money; she was clearly just playing her!
"If you don't want to buy us a house, just say so. There's no need to humiliate us like this!" Qin Ruolan was furious.
After scolding Wen Li, she turned to Xu Yurong: "If the Wen family won't give it, shouldn't you, as the older sister, do something? Don't think I don't know, Wen Tingsong gives you several million in living expenses every month, but you only give the family 100,000 a month! Look how poor we are! I asked you to arrange a job for your younger brother before, but you did the opposite and made him work as a security guard!"
"Your brother is the family's only hope. If you don't give me money to buy a house today, I'll kill myself right here, and then nobody will have a good time!"
Qin Ruolan vented all her anger on Xu Yurong.
Xu Yurong seemed to have gotten used to her mother saying this.
They said the daughter was good for nothing except getting married, and that the younger brother was the family's only hope.
Over the years, she has tried her best to give her mother whatever she wanted, so why is she still not satisfied?
Xu Yurong's eyes were red.
She had plenty of money and could easily afford to buy a house for her younger brother, but she knew she absolutely couldn't bring herself to ask.
Her mother was testing her.
Once you've done it once, you'll want to do it again. Once you buy a house, you'll want a car. It's endless. Human ambition has no source and no end.
"I'll listen to Xiaoli."
Xu Yurong dared not disobey Qin Ruolan deep down, but Wen Li standing beside her seemed to give her immense courage.
Xu Yurong refused Qin Ruolan's request for the first time.
Qin Ruolan stared wide-eyed, seemingly never having imagined that Xu Yurong would reject her.
"you……"
Xu Yurong stiffened her neck, her voice still trembling slightly: "Xiao Li is right, this money belongs to the Wen family, not the Xu family. Old Wen bought you a multi-million dollar mansion ten years ago, and he also found a job for his younger brother. Don't you think about it? Who can earn 30,000 a month as a security guard?"
The more Xu Yurong thought about it, the more she felt that Wen Tingsong was a good person.
My family was always in chaos, but I never complained to her. Instead, I always helped her solve the problems.
I have always treated her with the utmost respect, both at home and outside.
Otherwise, how could someone born into an ordinary family be so at ease among these wealthy women?
Even so, the family was still not satisfied, wishing the entire Wen family could belong to them.
Xu Yurong knew that Qin Ruolan didn't love her. She was already too old to need maternal love and family affection, but when she actually encountered Qin Ruolan's true colors, Xu Yurong was still heartbroken.
But Wen Li's words suddenly woke her up.
Qin Rulan has always talked about how her younger brother will become successful in the future. Could it be that if her younger brother really does become successful one day, she will resent her for not helping him once or twice?
If that's the case, it's better to cut the Gordian knot quickly!
Xu Yurong said firmly, "Mom, don't worry about the house. Tingsong isn't home right now. If you want to stay for a couple of days, you can. I'll also give my brother a big red envelope when he gets married."
“If my younger brother really becomes successful in the future, let him hold a grudge about what happened today. At worst, we will stop having dealings with each other. In the future, whether the Wen family goes bankrupt or whatever, if he wants to help me, he can help me. If he doesn’t want to help me, I won’t blame him.”
In short, they have neither money nor a house.
I'm someone who couldn't even get into a higher vocational school through the entrance exam. I have neither ability nor intelligence, so how could I possibly have a chance to soar to great heights?
Thinking of this, Xu Yurong suddenly felt much better, and her mind became clearer than before.
Wen Li's words were a revelation to her.
Given how outstanding Old Wen's son is, she could be a wealthy wife for life. Why make herself unhappy over such trivial matters?
Wouldn't it be better to spend that time playing mahjong with rich ladies?
Qin Ruolan watched as her daughter seemed to have an urge to hum a song the next second, her expression quite interesting.
She blamed it all on Wen Li.
Qin Ruolan knew that if things continued like this, her not-so-bright daughter might really abandon her.
Wen Li was stirring things up from both sides. Once she settled in here and Wen Li started school, she would coax Xu Yurong into giving her money.
