Chapter 724 A Home of One's Own
At this moment, Fu Wen, who hadn't spoken until now, said, "Grandpa hopes to return to his roots, which is where Grandma grew up."
Fu Leyi and Lin Yuyao were both stunned and looked at Fu Wen.
Fu Leyi looked delighted. "Big brother, you spoke!"
Fu Wen turned his face away, somewhat embarrassed.
A moment later, he regained his usual coldness.
It was as if the voice he had just heard wasn't his.
Fu Leyi pursed her lips and stopped talking. Instead, she asked the young man next to her which room he liked.
Ask him what his opinion is on renovating the house, etc.
Why would I ask for his opinion on house renovations?
The other party looked surprised.
For a moment I thought I really could make the decision, and I actually offered a few suggestions.
We need a gym and a dance studio.
He really dared to bring that up.
Lin Yuyao noticed that Fu Wen's expression was rather unpleasant, which was a rare occurrence for him.
After all, he's usually a man with little expression.
A few years ago, he didn't seem this serious. But in the last two years, I don't know if it's because his condition has worsened or what, but Fu Wen's face has become increasingly cold and stern.
After viewing both houses, Fu Leyi pointed to a building upstairs and said to Ye Xiaotong, "Xiaotong, the house you bought is up there. It's still a construction site over there. Do you want to go see it? If you do, you'll need to wear a hard hat. I'll have someone take you there."
Ye Xiaotong has never had her own home; the house she lives in now is still rented from Fu Leyi.
Even though the house wasn't finished yet, she couldn't wait to go and see it.
During her breaks, she would ride her bicycle around the neighborhood countless times, just to catch a glimpse of the house she had bought, her home.
She was afraid of being laughed at, so she kept it a secret.
Now that she has the opportunity to see it up close, of course she wants to go.
"I want to see it."
Fu Leyi smiled and said, "Alright, Shaohua, you take Xiaotong to find the foreman."
"it is good."
Fu Leyi's pretty boy brought him along. The foreman recognized him and knew it was Fu Leyi's idea when he saw him coming.
Otherwise, non-professionals would not be allowed to enter this unfinished construction site.
"Yuyao, is there anything else?"
Lin Yuyao raised the camera around her neck and said, "I'm going to take some photos at Sister Song's villa."
"Fine, then you go by yourself, I won't go."
She looked at her shoes and said, "These shoes aren't convenient. I'll wait for you in the car."
"Row."
Walking on this muddy ground in her high heels was really difficult for her; every step she took left a dent.
Fu Leyi and Fu Wen went to the car to wait, while Lin Yuyao went to Song Qin's house not far away by herself. She took two pictures of the courtyard, two pictures of the house as a whole, and also pictures of the inside, upstairs and downstairs.
Cameras have made great progress in the past two years, and many SLR cameras have been launched one after another.
To ensure the stability of their photography, Lin Yuyao and her team have been upgrading their cameras.
Both performance and convenience have been greatly improved.
Their house is about the same size as mine, only the interior design is different.
After photographing Song Qin's house, she went to the duplex behind it and photographed the house her older brother had bought.
I'll wash it later and show it to my parents.
The yard is quite large, more than enough for them to grow some vegetables and fruits.
After taking the photos, she went to the car, but surprisingly, Ye Xiaotong and the others hadn't returned yet.
Fu Leyi smiled and said, "Your friend probably saw the house and didn't want to leave."
How could she not know what Ye Xiaotong was thinking?
Lin Yuyao said, "She kept saying that she wanted to have her own home."
Fu Leyi had also heard about Ye Xiaotong's situation.
"Has this girl found a boyfriend?"
Lin Yuyao shook her head. "No, judging from what she said, she probably doesn't plan to look for someone anymore. But that's not necessarily true. She's still young, and who knows what the future holds?"
Fu Leyi nodded, "That's true, she doesn't have children yet."
She was also upset by men. Even a proud woman like her couldn't handle bad men, let alone an ordinary woman.
If she didn't have children, it would definitely not work if she said she wouldn't get married; her parents wouldn't accept it.
Fortunately, she has children, and those children are her way of giving back to her parents.
Now she says she doesn't want to get married again, and her parents are happy about it.
Wearing a safety helmet, Ye Xiaotong arrived at her home under the foreman's guidance.
She really didn't want to leave, even though it was just a bare shell, and the exterior walls weren't even finished yet.
It's a very large three-bedroom, one-living room apartment, with the living room being particularly large, probably fifty or sixty square meters.
All first-floor units come with a yard, but hers is a corner unit, so her yard is quite large.
It's situated right next to a cliff on both the front and sides, and it's very quiet.
Although it's on the first floor, it feels like living upstairs.
The contractor just mentioned that her apartment has the best location in the building, and the yard it comes with is the largest. He even looked on with envy.
There's nothing he can do about it. The guy was brought in by the boss's gigolo, so he knows the guy has connections.
Good houses are all owned by people with connections; they're never put up for sale.
The contractor brought them over and then left, telling them to just return the way they came.
Ye Xiaotong looked at the three-bedroom, one-living-room house and the spacious courtyard again and again, reluctant to leave.
Qu Shaohua was originally waiting in the courtyard, but when he saw Ye Xiaotong had circled the courtyard three times, he couldn't help but walk over.
"Miss Ye, have you made up your mind?"
Ye Xiaotong was a little embarrassed and said, "That's about it, thank you for your help."
"No trouble at all, would you like to go back now or..."
Ye Xiaotong: "Can I watch it again?"
Qu Shaohua: "..."
"Ahem, please go ahead."
Ye Xiaotong turned the house around again, as if she were engraving it into her mind.
This time, Qu Shaohua followed behind her, chatting with her from time to time.
"Miss Ye and President Lin look somewhat alike, are they sisters?"
Ye Xiaotong was preoccupied with the house and casually replied, "Our ancestors were related."
This usually refers to a relationship that exists between relatives but spans several generations.
However, Qu Shaohua seemed oblivious, having already labeled them as cousins.
"Ms. Ye, are you planning to live with your parents in such a large house?"
Ye Xiaotong was slightly taken aback, then shook her head, "No, I live alone."
Qu Shaohua was very surprised, "Living alone?"
"Yes," she said proudly, "this is my home all by myself."
Qu Shaohua took a breath and didn't ask any more questions.
After looking at the house one last time, Ye Xiaotong left reluctantly.
Qu Shaohua, standing behind her, said, "Ms. Ye, this house will be delivered in the second half of the year, which is only a few months away. Once the house is delivered, you can start renovations immediately and move in this year."
Ye Xiaotong paused for a moment, feeling embarrassed that someone had noticed she was practically glued to the house.
"I'm sorry to have taken up your time."
Qu Shaohua smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm just killing time anyway."
After returning the safety helmets to the foreman, the two walked towards the parking area.
