Chapter 17: 017: Xing Family (2)

Everyone in the Xing family was taken aback by Yue Xuexia's unexpected visit, especially by the gifts she had brought for them. A large box of pastries, chocolates, and mini cakes from the Crowned Regent Hotel, along with a few bento boxes, glass, and plastic ware, were filled to the brim with food when Mama Yue prepared a seafood feast for lunch, wrapping half of it and having Yue Xuexia bring it over.

In addition, Yue Xuexia stopped by the Marigold Mall on the way to pick up a few more gifts that were not food, like a few new laptops and Apple phones for the whole family, some clothes for the kids, and a baby boy for Sister Roulan. Even Yue Xuexia did not anticipate her mother packing up this pile of food from the trunk of her car. There was so much that even Xing An and their second sister-in-law could not bring everything in on their own; Xing-dage and Xing-Erge had to assist too.

Xing Roulan was scolding Yue Xuexia and said, "You bought too many gifts! We can finish all this food alone and you buy those expensive brands of clothes and those gadgets."

"R-Rou-Jie... You're wrong, the food isn't something I bought. Except for the cakes, the rest are cooked by my mother! Wuwu~ (QAQ)" said Yue Xuexia.

Xing-dage had to calm down his sister and said, "Don't scold her anymore. It came from Aunt Yue, we can't let her bring back the food. Let's put the rest in the fridge and share the rest if necessary."

"We can only do that. But you bring home those phones and clothes, Xue'er! These are too expensive," said Xing Roulan.

Yue Xuexia exclaimed, "Impossible! Those brats at home had the same thing. I bought that for Xiao An and the children. Yours is just a second thought though."

Xing-Erge and Xing-dage laughed at how Yue Xuexia, who had always been a paper tiger in front of her family, suddenly lost impetus and avoided Xing Roulan's eyes.

Xing An hugged his new Apple phone and laptop and said this to her elder sister.

"Xue-jiejie gave me this as a gift. I will not return it."

"Haha~ that's right, no need to return. All for you. Hehehe~" said Yue Xuexia.

Xing Roulan said, "You two!?"

Hic!

Yue Xuexia said, "Rou-Jie, don't get angry anymore. Hehehe~"

"I heard from Aunt Yue that you finally got some money from stocks. Is this true?" asked Xing Roulan.

Yue Xuexia nods her head like a pecking chicken.

"They've also said that your house is under repair and you have moved houses. Where is it?"

"Moonlight Lake Mansion."

"...!!!...."

Xing-dage asked in surprise, "You don't mean that one from Mountain Terrace Subdivision?!"

"It's that one. I bought the whole central district and all the houses and lots on it after getting the Moonlight Lake Mansion. I came here to ask Sister Roulan and everyone to please live there with us," said Yue Xuexia.

"..."

Yue Xuexia said, "This is the intention of the whole Yue Family. I would like to give a house and a lot each for Xing-dage, Xing-Erge, and Rou-Jie. This is to give my thanks to everything Aunt Xing and everyone in Xing Family had given to us in our lowest time. I hope you don't decline it. I'm begging you to please don't."

She even bowed her head, clearly pleading with her cousins to accept her gift. She had this intention from the moment she received the Moonlight Lake Mansion from the System. The Central district is reserved for the wealthy, but even then, the entire neighborhood remained unsold because each house was too expensive. She did not even give a damn about her finances; she purchased the entire central area of Mountain Terrace Subdivision.

While his sisters and parents remained overseas when Yue Xuexia was still a college student, she returned to finish her studies. During that time, only her maternal grandmother and Aunt Xing provided her with daily necessities, including taking care of her health for three whole years. For this reason, Yue Xuexia knew she owed Aunt Xing and Grandma for all of this time.

However, even though her family has returned to the country, they are still unable to provide much assistance to the Xing. The only money they have is a few thousand that her aunt can use to purchase food and medicine for the Xing family. Yue Xuexia was unable to provide anything for Aunt Xing when she passed away in peace last year.

Yue Xuexia suddenly lowered her head, shocking Xing Roulan, Xing Rouyi (Erge), and Xing Rouxi (dage). They did not expect her to act this way, but they also understood that they would not have received such a costly gift unless they were compelled in this manner.

Yue Xuexia raised her head, an expectancy burning in her eyes as if to say, "You will accept my gift, right?" The three of them stared at each other, grudgingly making their decision as predicted.

Sigh~

Xing Roulan said, "Only one house for all three of us. Don't trick me. I know that the Mountain Terrace Subdivision only has mansion-type houses."

"But... what if Rou-Jie's husband comes home? What if Xing-Erge had another baby or what if Xing-dage finally gets married? Plus, if Xiao An gets married in the future, it is better to save a house under his name as well. Isn't it better to have a house of your own? I will make sure to choose one that is only a few meters away from each other and you can see everyone in just a few steps. One house each, okay? You can consider it a late or advanced wedding gift from the Yue family!"

Seeing them still not accepting, Yue Xuexia had to say a few more things to convince them.

"There are nearby schools for kindergarten to high school. You can just ride a bike to reach it. Also, I have a hotel and a few shares in Marigold Mall. If Erge and Dage wish to work, I can find some stable positions for you. But Dajie must stay home since Baby Feng is still too young. But if you are bored I plan to build a cafe in the Mountain Terrace District. It is something I, Xiao Ji, and Ruru made for fun. You can play there with Baby Feng as well," suggested Yue Xuexia.

Xing-Erge asked, "You have a hotel? Which one?"

"Crowned Regent Hotel. I recently bought it. Except for the executive manager, the rest of the positions can be available for you! Just say a word," said Yue Xuexia.

Xing Roulan said, "What any position we want? Just place your Erge (Second Brother) in a position within his qualifications. If you suddenly put him in a high position, he might not know how to do it."

"Oh, that's also true. Dage (Eldest Brother) is a licensed nurse, right? Please wait for a bit. I will look for a hospital to buy soon," said Yue Xuexia.

Xing-dage smiled helplessly and said, "Um. You speak as if buying a hospital is not that much different from buying vegetables in the market."

"It's okay. I will contact Xing-dage when I find some for sure. I need to go now, Sis Rou, Xing-Erge, and Xing-dage. For now, please choose the one you like here and send me the house unit name, and I will process the ownership deed transfer as soon as possible," said Yue Xuexia as she passed a few folders with house unit details within the central district and ran out before Xing Roulan scold her for it. "See you later."

The only sound of the car leaving in a hurry was heard from inside the house. Xing An who peeked at the window to see his cousin run into her car and leave in a hurry, commented,

"Dajie, Xue-Jie drove off!" said Xing An as he went back to his room and played with his new gadgets. He even received a notice from his payp*l.

[Your payp*l account ending with numbers 3423 had received a deposit transfer from Miss Yue Xuexia at 3:00 pm. You had received a 10,000 rmb deposit and your current account balance is 13,000 rmb (SpringField landbank)]

Then a message from a messenger coming from Yue Xuexia said, "It's your late birthday gift from me. Study well. Don't tell Rou-Jie. Mwah~"

"Thank you very much, Xue-Jie," replied Xing An to his elder cousin sister.

Though it seemed the family was reluctant, Sister Xuexia had to beg them to accept it, and Xing An knew they would definitely move houses in just a few weeks. He had heard his sisters and brothers discussing moving to a new location close to where the Yue Family had moved. He saw the contents of the folder Yue Xuexia brought just now while the adults were busy talking seriously, and he saw photos of mansions he had only seen on the computer and dramas.

Even though Sister Xuexia did not mention him, he knew he would receive a house under his name when he reached adulthood and it was surely from Yue Xuexia after hearing the adults' chat about how they would be giving a house to each of the Xing Family members.

Xing Roulan said as she looked through the details of the mini mansions in her hands.

"This girl... What ordinary house and lot? These are all mansions. Sigh~"

"These houses all look expensive. Did Xiao Xue buy it all?" asked Xing-dage. "But why, she does not want to have strangers as neighbors?"

"Must be... I heard Aunt Yue usually fought with their neighbors at the old house. Must be because of that. You know about Aunt Yue's problem with their neighbors. Those guys aren't good too," said Xing-Erge.

Xing Roulan said, "What should we do with these? Nothing looks ordinary among these houses."

"The Central region of Mountain Terrace District Subdivisions are indeed expensive. I heard rumors that the whole central region was bought in just a day. Didn't expect Xiao Xue to be the one to buy it? Are we really going to move? We don't even have a car. How can we go there?" asked Xing-erge.

"Look here. It says to call the number below if we plan to move houses. The Mountain Terrace District would be providing service cars and trucks to move things. So I guess no problem," said Xing-dage.

Xing Roulan asked, "You guys plan to move as soon as possible? What about your current jobs? Plus, Dage watch what you say to your fiancée, don't tell her yet about the Yue Family just in case."

"I know. As for our jobs, we can continue them until the end of the month before resigning. Thankfully, the children's school semesters are about to end. We can transfer schools without a problem. Eh. Everything is settled, we move houses. For now, let's choose the mansion we want. Since we already agree, we must choose one," said Xing-dage.

Suddenly, Xing-Erge's phone rang, and when he answered, he was nearly speechless when asked who the man on the other side was, and his sister and brother had to watch him respectfully chat on the phone as the call ended, leaving Xing-Erge momentarily stunned.

Xing Roulan asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"

"Executive Manager Zhan from the Crowned Regent Hotel. He asked me when I could visit the hotel to start working as his assistant hotel manager. Jie, Ge, am I dreaming?" said Xing-Erge.

"Well...~ what can I say...?" Xing Roulan's words were cut off when Xing-dage's phone rang this time.

Like Xing-erge, he looked astonished to hear the other side announce himself, but at least he is more composed than his second brother. As expected, Roulan and Rouyi were staring at him with curious and expectant looks in their eyes when the connection ended.

"It's CEO Chen of Marigold Mall. He invited me to work as a freelance nurse in his mall while Xiao Xue hasn't found a hospital for me to work in. I said I will finish my preparations on my side first," said Xing Rouxi.

Xing Roulan said, "Do you think it's Xue'er's doing?"

"Yes. She said the Crowned Regent Hotel is hers. The executive manager said it was their owner who informed them about me," said Xing Rouyi.

Xing Rouxi spoke, "Then she must indeed have shares with the Marigold Mall for the CEO to call me. This is great. I can work there for a bit."

"We should thank Xue'er but I guess she would run if I do. Ge, I want to visit Aunt Yue and Uncle Yue tomorrow," said Xing Roulan.

Xing Rouxi said, "I will go with you. It's the weekend so I don't have work."

"Brother, I want to go too," said Xing Rouyi.

"No. You need to arrange your resignation and get some boxes so we can start packing as soon as possible. Choose the house to live in first. We can live in one place until everything has been stabilized. Also, you need to prepare for the school transfer of A'Ki and Xiao An," said Xing Rouxi said.

Xing Rouyi gave up as he knew it was better for his elder brother and elder sister to visit first and leave him to protect the house.

"Okay. I understand. I'll stay. Sigh~" said Xing Rouyi.

Xing Roulan mumbled, "That time I helped the Yue Family as Mom said to always help each other at times we need each other. Who would have thought the Yue Family would suddenly rise like this and bring us up with them? Indeed, Karma is real."
