Zhong Ping was discharged from the hospital, which meant no more commuting between the hospital and home. Gao Ruoyun could take care of Zhong Ping on her own, and Zhong Tingyue, who hadn't managed the studio for a long time, threw herself back into work.
Only Chu Fang and Zhong Rou were free, one on vacation and the other simply idle.
They sprawled on the sofa, cracking melon seeds, competing to see who could spit the shells the farthest, with a hundred yuan reward for the winner.
"Tui!"
"He, tui!"
"I'm here." Yang Meina walked up to them, greeted by a shower of melon seed shells. Her smile froze on her face. "Are you two... sick in the head?"
Today was the day to buy a house, and Yang Meina had dressed up especially nicely, in a little white dress with her hair tied up, looking pure and innocent, but these two were ruining her image.
Chu Fang and Zhong Rou looked at each other. "Are we sick?"
"No."
"Then why does she say we're sick?"
"Maybe Yang Meina is sick, so she sees everyone as a patient."
"Oh, I see."
"What did the doctor say about how to treat patients?"
"Gently, kindly, calmly. Since she's a patient, you have to indulge her, even if she calls herself an idiot, you have to nod and say, 'Yes, yes, yes.'"
Chu Fang stood up and smiled gently. "I'm sorry, Ms. Yang Meina, for causing you trouble."
Chu Fang and Zhong Rou sang a duet, teasing Yang Meina, making her twitch. She swung her bag at them, but ultimately, buying the house was more important, so she let them go.
Afterward, Chu Fang, Zhong Rou, Yang Meina, and Liu Xia headed to the sales center. Gao Ruoyun and Zhong Ping had nothing to do, so they came along too.
As soon as they arrived at the sales center, they saw Wang Wenhao standing nearby, smiling at Chu Fang and saying, "Brother Chu, thank you for your trouble."
Today was the day Yang Meina was buying a house, so as her boyfriend, he naturally had to be there.
"How many times have I told you? You're older than him, just call him Chu Fang," Yang Meina corrected her boyfriend's address.
In Wang Wenhao's heart, Chu Fang was a successful boss, and he felt awkward calling him by his first name directly.
Chu Fang shook his head. "Yang Meina, look how polite your boyfriend is, and you have no manners at all. I'm ashamed of you."
"What's it to you?!"
Chu Fang raised his chin. "If I didn't care about you, would you have grown up this much?"
"Ugh, I'm going to fight you today!"
They joked around as they walked towards the sales center, and a saleswoman came over. "How can I help you?"
"We're buying a house."
The saleswoman then introduced Yang Meina to the various houses for sale.
This development was recommended by Chu Fang. The location was decent, the landscaping was quite good, and in all aspects, it was a good community, meeting Yang Meina's requirements.
"How much is this house?" Yang Meina pointed to a unit.
"Five million six hundred thousand."
"Hiss..." Liu Xia's eyelids twitched.
She had long heard that the housing prices in Shanghai were high, but facing this number, she was still stunned.
"How much rice and corn would you have to sell to buy a house?"
Yang Meina comforted Liu Xia. "Mom, don't worry, I have money. A certain idiot brother has given me a lot of gifts."
Chu Fang's mouth twitched. "Yang Meina, you have no humanity. I've given you so much money, and you still insult me."
Chu Fang glared at her and then left angrily.
Wang Wenhao was surprised. "What's wrong with Brother Chu?"
Yang Meina said casually, "It's nothing, he's just having an episode."
The community was quite large, and the development was also quite large. Chu Fang walked around looking at the buildings, while his sister-in-law stared intently.
"Brother-in-law."
"Yeah."
"How much are the houses here worth?"
"Several billion, I guess."
"How much?"
"At most, no more than ten billion."
Zhong Rou stared at the buildings, slowly withdrew her gaze, and said, "Brother-in-law, I plan to become a real estate developer in the future and make a lot of money."
A couple next to them, who were also looking at houses, smiled softly at these naive words.
Chu Fang patted his sister-in-law's head. "That's ambitious."
"But... before I become a developer, Brother-in-law, lend me a few hundred million," Zhong Rou patted her chest. "I'll definitely repay you tenfold in the future."
Chu Fang refused directly. "No money, no loan."
This sister-in-law was no good, always eyeing his private stash.
Zhong Rou wasn't so easily dismissed. Chu Fang walked forward, and Zhong Rou grabbed the back of his shirt, dragging her feet across the floor. "Oh, Brother-in-law, just lend me a few hundred million."
Chu Fang: "What do you need the money for?"
Zhong Rou: "I need the money for something!"
Many homebuyers around them: "..."
So only your money is useful? Other people's money isn't useful?
"I don't have hundreds of millions, how about I buy you a house?" Chu Fang said.
The homebuyers around them scoffed in their hearts.
Buddy, there's no need to show off in front of everyone. These houses aren't models, they cost millions, and that's RMB, not Monopoly money.
"Brother-in-law, you're really the best brother-in-law." Zhong Rou immediately became happy, jumping up and down.
Chu Fang signaled the saleswoman to come over, then pointed to a few empty houses in the development. "This one, that one, and that one, I'll buy them all."
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, but her professional qualities were extremely high, and she quickly reacted, guiding Chu Fang towards the manager's office.
Before long, the homebuyers saw Chu Fang and Zhong Rou leaving the office under the manager's smiling face. "Mr. Chu, don't worry, we'll take care of everything you've asked us to do right away."
"Okay, thank you." Chu Fang nodded. "If there's anything, contact my private lawyer."
"Understood, we won't bother you."
Many homebuyers: "..."
Dude, I thought you were bragging, I even wanted to watch the show, but you're actually buying them?
Oh no, my heart is starting to hurt. How can there be so many rich people in the world?
Rich people should all die!
