Tao Liangchen
Chapter 388 He Still Cares About Me
Su Yehao felt a guilty conscience.
Jiang Yu’s buying a house, a minor matter that originally had nothing to do with him, suddenly turned into a serious problem.
Given her relationship with Xiao Nizi (sweet girl), if she found out he was seeing other women, would he still have a good life?
The Shangfeng Shangshui residential area has few residents, and Nong Qingying is so eye-catching. She's currently living on the top floor of Building One. If Jiang Yu moves in and they run into each other all the time, free-range will turn into mixed-feeding.
And if they become friends, it would be a total disaster.
With Jiang Yu's friendly personality, she might become close friends with Nong Qingying if they interact frequently, and then they'll compare notes… game over.
Jiang Yu said softly, "I've been living with you guys for over half a year. Besides, my dad is planning to buy a house, and it's very close to the school. Wouldn't I be making myself unwelcome if I keep living here?"
Su Yehao was speechless.
It's been more than half a year. If they were annoyed, they would have kicked her out long ago. Why wait until now?
He asked, "Why buy in Shangfeng Shangshui? Wouldn't it be better to buy a villa directly? There are still some empty plots nearby. I can personally help your dad negotiate. If that doesn't work, I can carve out a piece from my new courtyard."
"…Do you have some misunderstanding about my family's financial situation? Land in Deep Water Bay is extremely expensive, okay? Even if we sell everything we own, buying a plot of land, let alone building a house, would still be too expensive."
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Su Yehao immediately interjected, "Then… what about a big villa in Pengcheng? It has great appreciation potential and a great location. Isn't it much better than buying in Shangfeng Shangshui? Or wait a little longer, until my apartment building on Taipa Island is developed. I'll reserve a large duplex penthouse suite and sell it to you at cost."
Something's fishy.
Seeing Su Yehao's strong reaction, Jiang Yu thought for a moment that he was reluctant to see her leave.
This thought startled her.
Her skin isn't thick enough to ask him directly.
Jiang Yu smiled stiffly and continued, "My dad often works here and needs a place to stay. I heard that the top floor of Building One, that's the house your dad gave you. We can visit each other occasionally. Besides, I need some reference in terms of decoration and layout. You must have hired a designer for your house. I can just copy it and save a lot of trouble."
Su Yehao felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought to himself, "You'll save trouble, but I won't have a tomorrow." He had the urge to move the Hong Kong & Macau International Tourism Group away, but couldn't find a reasonable excuse, since the business is mainly in Hong Kong.
He also had the urge to belittle the construction quality of Shangfeng Shangshui, but Miss Jiang used to work at Seaview International and is very experienced in this area. It would be difficult to scare Jiang Yu's father away, and he might expose himself instead.
His mind raced, and he began to consider the possibility of Nong Qingying moving. But Hong Kong is so small. If there's no reason, where can she move to?
Fortunately, Nong Qingying mentioned last time that the tenant of Building Two decided to terminate the lease early, and she planned to move back to her own home then.
Assuming they both have elevators that open directly into their apartments, and Building One and Building Two aren't connected, they shouldn't run into each other so easily… right?
Su Yehao's head was buzzing. After thinking it over, he decided to start with Jiang Yu.
He suddenly sighed deeply, stared at Jiang Yu, and asked, "Do you really want to move out? It's so annoying living with your family. You've been living here with me for so long. Nangong and I will definitely be reluctant to let you leave. Why don't you think about it some more? Besides, the investment value of residential properties in Hong Kong isn't great. Why not wait until you've made more money and buy a big villa directly?"
The words "reluctant to let you leave" made Jiang Yu's heart skip a beat.
It was rare to see Su Yehao flustered. In Jiang Yu's eyes, he seemed unwilling to let her go.
She suddenly felt a little shy.
Jiang Yu was very satisfied with this. She didn't expect that she had this much weight in the eyes of this big turnip.
She bit her lip and continued softly, "My dad is already planning to buy it. Anyway, it's very close, and we can visit each other often in the future. You're with Nangong, why are you staring at me? Wouldn't it be better if I leave? You two can do whatever you want, and you don't have to bring me along as a third wheel when you go out to eat."
Su Yehao's mind was filled with "I'm doomed."
To prevent the existing balance from being broken, he was even considering skipping this girl and directly talking to Jiang's father about the concept of "buying a house in the mainland is guaranteed to make a profit." As for Hong Kong, renting would be enough. He could pay the rent in the company's name anyway, since it's all for the company's service, a ready-made excuse.
If that doesn't work, he can only meet Nong Qingying outside in the future.
Yachts and garden hotels seem to be okay.
Su Yehao, who is usually quite lazy, was thinking quickly at this moment, even more actively than when he was considering business matters. He even considered the feasibility of transferring Nong Qingying to Japan to be in charge of the business after acquiring SK-II.
Jiang Yu saw him spacing out and thought Su Yehao was shocked.
As expected.
He still cares about me, the girl thought…
For a moment.
Jiang Yu also felt that moving out was a bit too sudden.
However, the words have already been spoken. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing to say she wanted to stay now?
She began to worry and blurted out, "Big turnip, you really dare to eat what's in the bowl while looking at what's in the pot? I'm just moving to Mid-Levels. We can definitely see each other often in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Jiang Yu's face began to blush. She inexplicably thought of her parents' wild guesses, and her mind was filled with all sorts of nonsense, such as the scene of living with Xiao Nizi (sweet girl).
Su Yehao sorted out several emergency plans, such as A, B, C, d, and felt much more comfortable.
Only then did he have time to think about what Jiang Yu said. He found that she seemed to be shy and was a little confused, not knowing what was going on. He casually joked, "How am I eating what's in the bowl while looking at what's in the pot? If that were the case, you'd be the first to run away."
Her heart was rippling, and Jiang Yu rarely retorted, humming softly and saying, "I'm not that easy to deal with!"
As soon as the words fell, before Su Yehao could speak, she fled as if escaping.
…
A familiar contact introducing a house purchase involves a 200,000 brokerage fee.
Su Yehao certainly didn't plan to take this money, but thinking that the deposit hadn't been paid yet, he planned to talk to Jiang's father first, hoping to change his mind.
Residential properties are different from hotels; the return on investment is indeed a bit weaker.
That night.
Using the ingredients sent by President Peng, the braised radish with Tibetan pork, steamed knife fish, and stewed vermicelli with Tan sheep meat were all delicious.
Nangong Tian's mother came to Hong Kong, and she accompanied her mother to a social engagement. Only Su Yehao and Jiang Yu were at the dinner table.
After thinking about it for a while.
Jiang Yu suddenly found a reason to stay, and for a moment, she was a little conflicted, not wanting to leave, but not wanting to poach someone else's corner.
Su Yehao had a great appetite, and the radish and pork soup with rice was really delicious…
