Chapter 774: Chapter 776: I Buy a Small Western-style House for My Nephew

Wang Yufan carefully watched Gong Ruini, knowing that his words yesterday had been a bit harsh, even to the point where Gong Ruini didn’t want to speak to him.

But why is she in such a good mood today, even taking the initiative to greet him? This really startled Wang Yufan.

Gong Ruini saw the surprised expression on Wang Yufan’s face and found it amusing secretly.

It seems Zhao Xuran really guessed right, Wang Yufan is indeed testing them.

But what exactly he wants to test, Gong Ruini really doesn’t understand.

She had previously found out that although the Wang Family’s roots are not entirely in Yangcheng, they definitely do not have a presence in Beijing.

Could it be that the Wang Family wants to establish a foothold in Beijing? Gong Ruini does not deny whether the Wang Family has this intention, but they are just merchants, how could they catch the eyes of the Wang Family.

If the Wang Family wants to win them over, Gong Ruini also finds it strange, as their business dealings are entirely with ordinary people and have no contact with the Wang Family’s field at all.

Gong Ruini was tempted to ask Wang Yufan what he thought, but after thinking it over, she still kept quiet. Since the Wang Family had already let Wang Yufan make the first move, she would just wait and see what they would do next before making a decision.

"Alright, let’s continue to look at houses. Houses are a good thing," Gong Ruini stretched lazily, indicating that she has a heavy task ahead.

Ah, not curious? Wang Yufan was surprised, wasn’t this girl supposed to be a curious baby? How come she’s not in a hurry, just thinking about buying a house.

What should he do now, how to complete the task, Wang Yufan was anxiously pacing around.

Cao Na was very interested in the topic, "Looking at houses, looking at houses."

"I want to buy a house for my sister," Cao Na was in a very good mood.

Ah, buying a house for her sister? Gong Ruini was dumbfounded; hadn’t she already advised this girl, why is she still so persistent.

"Did your sister agree?"

"Did your brother-in-law agree?"

"I’m not buying it for my sister, just lending it to her to live in. Otherwise, where will they stay when my nephew is born?"

"The house allocated by the work unit is that small, and the layout is bad," Cao Na was full of opinions about Cao Li’s house.

It’s rare to see Cao Na have such strong opinions. The last time she was this upset was when she wasn’t getting along with Zhuge Mingshan.

Thinking of that name, Gong Ruini realized she could barely remember the other person’s appearance; time truly flies, making it easy to forget those who were once big enemies.

Ever since the Zhuge Family moved away, at first, they kept making trouble, and told the neighbors how bad Gong Ruini and the others were, and how they deceived them.

Simultaneously, they didn’t forget to frequently look for Zhuge Zhi, hoping he would provide help, but after realizing no matter how much trouble they caused, they wouldn’t get what they wanted and instead ruined their reputation, they stopped showing up.

As for where these people have gone now, Gong Ruini has no idea. As for Zhuge Zhi, maybe he knows a thing or two, but he has no intention of contacting them.

"Hey, Ni Zi, what are you thinking about?" Cao Na rambled on without getting Gong Ruini’s approval, and then noticed she was zoning out, which made Cao Na unsatisfied.

"I wasn’t thinking anything, I was just thinking like you..." Gong Ruini glanced at Wang Yufan and unsurprisingly found him somewhat embarrassed.

It’s no wonder, although Cao Na was complaining about Cao Li’s house not being good enough, wasn’t she actually saying her brother-in-law wasn’t capable enough to provide a better place for his wife to live in?

"Although I haven’t seen Sister Lili’s house, I imagine it’s not that bad. Just based on Cao Li’s position alone and with the Wang Family backing her up, would the house they allocated be that bad?"

"What’s so good about it, Wang Yufan, what do you think about the house?" Cao Na thought letting Wang Yufan comment would also not be right.

"Guang Ran, how is my sister’s house?" Cao Na turned to ask Zhao Guangran.

What kind of taste does Zhao Guangran have? Even in the Northeast, the house he lived in was top-notch in the village, and it was spacious and comfortable. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As for moving to Beijing, even if he was staying temporarily at Zhuge Zhi’s house, at least he had his own room and a big yard, and after moving to the original Zhuge’s old house, his standards just got even higher.

"Not good, none of it is good," Zhao Guangran said with a face full of disdain.

"The house is low and small, I don’t like living in an apartment building." Zhao Guangran used to think living in an apartment was good, but now he disdains it as much as he could.

"Besides, without a garden, how do you have fun?" Thinking of how his three younger brothers used to play around in the yard, and then looking at the cramped house, Zhao Guangran really didn’t know how anyone could live there.

Wang Yufan wanted to explain a thing or two, as this apartment is actually quite nice and not many people even reach this standard, but he didn’t know what to say.

Wang Yufan knows the standard of the house Zhao Guangran and the others live in, it’s definitely big, and even the house allocated to the old gentleman in the family couldn’t compare, let alone the houses of his cousins.

But is it okay to be so disdainful? Wang Yufan couldn’t help but recall yesterday when he was critically saying that Zhao Guangran wasn’t worthy of Cao Na, only to be fiercely retaliated against by Zhao Guangran today.

Wang Yufan didn’t dare touch his face, but the sensation on his face told him his face must be very red at this moment.

Wang Yufan believed that Gong Ruini must have told Zhao Guangran what he said yesterday, or else why would Zhao Guangran’s words be so biting today.

This made Wang Yufan feel very downcast. He finally found a friend he could talk to, and importantly, they are not in the same social circle, so Zhao Guangran’s lips were fairly tight, making it possible to vent about some unimportant stuff.

But now can he still do that? Wang Yufan wouldn’t do something so foolish, not wanting to be betrayed by Zhao Guangran and ridiculed by his social circle friends.

"So, Ni Zi, I want to buy a small house for my nephew. Anyway, I am not going to live in it, and renting it out would be a waste too; what if they don’t take care of it?" Cao Na wasn’t really dismissive of the rent, but more than anything, she hoped her sister could live comfortably.

As for making money, Cao Na said she wasn’t in a hurry, knowing that the housing prices will keep rising, and in a few years, the price increase might even make her a tidy profit.

"Later, when my nephew grows up and gets married, this will be my wedding gift to him as his aunt." Cao Na wasn’t stupid; if she wrote the house in Cao Li’s name right now, her brother-in-law’s face would definitely turn dark.

Not to mention the face-conscious Wang Family, so she decided to give it later as a reason that her brother-in-law couldn’t say no to.

Seeing her talk so maturely about giving a wedding gift to her nephew, Gong Ruini didn’t know if Zhao Guangran felt as if he had suffered a major blow, but she felt like fainting.

Wang Yufan was stunned, oh god, how old was Cao Na, and she was already thinking about gifts for her cousin’s son’s wedding, isn’t that a bit too bold?

But how come she has so much money? Wang Yufan felt envious.

Despite being older than Cao Na, when it comes to managing money, Wang Yufan absolutely couldn’t compare to Cao Na, not to mention buying a house for a nephew or niece, even buying a house for himself seemed a distant dream.

Wang Yufan couldn’t help but feel tempted. Even though the Wang Family’s upbringing is strict, his friends know the value of making money.

But how to make money safely without elders’ obstruction, this was something Wang Yufan was fretting over.
