“Not yet?”
“Not??”
Kang Huizhi felt that the word “not” was very intriguing.
“Manni, do you actually have such thoughts?” Kang Huizhi asked with a serious expression.
“Um…”
“Anyway, it’s not what you all imagined!”
Li Manni also felt that her use of “not” could easily lead to misunderstanding, but she didn’t know how to explain herself.
Kang Huizhi frowned and said, “Manni, although we approve of Hao’s character, you two have too great an age difference.”
“Moreover, if you two really got together with this kind of relationship, gossip and rumors would drown you!”
Li Baojun nodded in agreement, “We also need to consider your sister’s feelings. Even though she wasn’t right about the divorce, she is still your sister; you can’t just not interact for the rest of your lives!”
Seeing her parents’ attitude, Li Manni hurriedly explained, “I’ve said it’s not like what you imagine.”
“I have no improper relationship with my brother-in-law, I just often help take care of Xixi!”
“Well, helping with Xixi is the right thing to do.”
Kang Huizhi nodded, then added with a sigh, “Actually, if Hao is set on not remarrying your sister, and if you two really have feelings for each other, it wouldn’t be impossible, it’s just that you’d have to bear a lot of pressure and criticism from the outside world…”
“I really like Hao as a son-in-law!”
After serious consideration of her younger daughter’s relationship with her son-in-law, Kang Huizhi felt it wasn’t a bad option, and it would also be good for Xixi.
If someone else became the stepmother, it might not be good for her granddaughter, but if her aunt became the stepmother, that would be much better.
Li Baojun, however, sighed and muttered quietly, “Turns out both my daughters ended up having children for the Yang family!”
“Mom, what’s bothering you exactly?”
Li Manni didn’t want to continue with the topic and became concerned about her mother’s health.
“I can’t really tell; sometimes my whole body aches, sometimes it’s the joints, muscles, and I get unusually tired, suffer from insomnia, awaken early, and I easily get anxious.”
“I had an X-ray at the county hospital, but nothing showed up, so the doctor suggested that I come to a big hospital in Jiangcheng to have a look…”
Speaking of her illness, Kang Huizhi’s face suddenly showed a look of helplessness.
Sometimes being sick isn’t scary, what’s scary is feeling unwell all the time and yet not knowing what’s wrong, not even having the chance to get the right treatment; that’s really tormenting.
Kang Huizhi was experiencing this exact feeling, mainly because she was also suffering from insomnia, making it even more unbearable.
Hearing her mother’s description, Li Manni instinctively furrowed her brows – these symptoms sounded a bit like post-viral syndrome, which seemed common around her, but she wasn’t sure.
“We’ll go to the hospital tomorrow to see what the doctors say.”
Li Manni gently shook her head.
At this moment, the car arrived at the entrance of Star Cloud Bay, and last week Yang Hao bought two more parking spaces and registered Li Manni’s license plate with the property management, so she drove straight into the basement.
“Manni, this community is quite expensive, right?”
“All the cars parked here are luxury cars!”
Li Baojun glanced outside the car window, then couldn’t help but sigh.
“Yes, this community is quite famous in Jiangcheng.” Li Manni nodded.
After parking the car, she led her parents into the elevator lobby.
“Manni, how much does an apartment cost per square meter here?”
“How come even the elevator lobby is so luxurious??”
Kang Huizhi surveyed the lavishly decorated and spacious elevator lobby as she asked.
It was her first time seeing such a luxurious elevator lobby in a community.
“I think it’s about sixty to seventy thousand per square meter.”
Li Manni wasn’t sure about the exact price, but she knew her brother-in-law’s house was very expensive, with a total price of around forty million.
“What?”
“Sixty to seventy thousand per square meter??”
“A whole house in our county is just over a hundred thousand!”
Kang Huizhi was shocked.
Li Baojun was also inwardly astonished, thinking: The son-in-law has really made it.
Living in a luxury house that costs sixty to seventy thousand per square meter!
“Manni, how big is your brother-in-law’s apartment?”
Kang Huizhi asked further.
“I think it’s almost seven hundred square meters…”
“How much??”
As soon as Li Manni finished speaking, her parents exclaimed in unison.
“Seven hundred square meters??”
“Manni, are you sure you’re not mistaken??”
After collecting themselves, Kang Huizhi repeated the question.
Li Manni nodded with certainty, “I’m not mistaken; it’s almost seven hundred square meters. The official area recorded on the property certificate is about 688 square meters, but the apartment comes with extra space; just the balcony alone is around forty to fifty square meters…”
This…
Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun exchanged glances, both looking utterly baffled.
Although they were aware of their son-in-law’s prosperity, they had not realized it was to such an extent.
“Sixty to seventy thousand per square meter, and the apartment is almost seven hundred square meters.”
“`
“Doesn’t that mean this house is worth forty or fifty million?”
Kang Huizhi did some quick calculations, then her mouth dropped open in shock.
A single house worth forty or fifty million!
Her son-in-law must be a billionaire!
“Manshu doesn’t have such good fortune!”
Li Baojun couldn’t help but express his feelings.
“No wonder Manshu regrets it, it turns out Hao has already become a billionaire…”
Kang Huizhi shook her head, “Forget about Hao, if I were him, I wouldn’t agree to a remarriage either!!”
While they were speaking, the elevator arrived.
As Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun stepped out of the elevator, they were once again stunned.
They hadn’t even entered yet, and the shoe changing area was already over fifty square meters…
Li Manni, who was already like a half-owner, took out slippers from the shoe cabinet for her parents to change into, then directly used facial recognition to open the front door.
Seeing her move so fluidly, Kang Huizhi couldn’t help but exchange a look with her husband Li Baojun.
“Could it be that Manni and Hao are really together?”
Kang Huizhi whispered into her husband’s ear in a low voice.
“It seems like it, this is no different from coming to her own home…” Li Baojun nodded slightly.
“Mom, Dad, you’ve arrived!”
“Please, come in~!”
“Xixi, come and see who’s here…”
Yang Hao, who had been sitting in the living room, came over with a smile and took his in-laws’ luggage off their hands.
“Hao, you’ve lost weight!”
“You look much more spirited than the last time we met!”
Looking at the much more spirited Yang Hao, Kang Huizhi couldn’t help but express her feelings.
“You look much younger too!”
Li Baojun added.
“You too have gotten younger…”
Yang Hao made a polite remark, then led the two of them into the living room.
“This…”
“This house is too big!”
Kang Huizhi and Li Baojun, seeing such a large house for the first time, couldn’t help but express their feelings.
“Hello Granny, hello Grandpa.”
As the old couple were surveying the interior environment, Xixi also came running over to greet them.
The little girl actually didn’t have a deep impression of Granny and Grandpa, because Kang Huizhi had taken care of her when she was too young to remember, and since she became old enough to remember, she hadn’t seen them very much.
“Xixi has grown up.”
“You’ve gotten a lot taller!”
Kang Huizhi had cared for Xixi for nearly two years, and she had a lot of affection for the little girl, so she immediately forgot about her physical discomfort and picked Xixi up.
“Yang, the chef says there are only two stir-fry dishes left, dinner is ready whenever.”
Just then, Jiang Yuqi, who had been busy in the dining room, came to the living room. m v l e mpyr
Seeing this beautiful girl, who was about the same age and appearance as their own daughter, Kang Huizhi, still immersed in the joy of seeing her granddaughter, was taken aback.
Such a beautiful woman appearing in her son-in-law’s home, could it be his girlfriend?
This thought involuntarily surfaced in Kang Huizhi’s mind.
Li Baojun, standing beside her, thought much the same, the old couple naturally wouldn’t associate a young and beautiful girl like Jiang Yuqi with a housekeeper.
“Mrs. Jiang, long time no see.”
Li Manni greeted Jiang Yuqi with a calm tone, as she was already aware of Jiang Yuqi becoming a live-in housekeeper.
In fact, when she heard this news, she was a bit panicked, after all, Jiang Yuqi’s personal qualifications were there for all to see.
So seeing Jiang Yuqi now, her heart was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface, especially since Jiang Yuqi was wearing home clothes, making her look like the lady of the house.
“That’s right, the last time we met was at the parent-child sports meet.” Jiang Yuqi replied cheerfully.
At this moment, Kang Huizhi, who had come back to her senses, asked, “Hao, who is this young lady?”
“Oh, this is Xixi’s home tutor, Mrs. Jiang.”
Yang Hao always introduced Jiang Yuqi this way to outsiders, since saying housekeeper didn’t sound very nice.
Moreover, now Jiang Yuqi was teaching at Shangpin International Bilingual Kindergarten and also tutoring Xixi at home, so it was justified to call her a home tutor.
“Hello, Auntie, hello, Uncle~!”
“You can call me Jiang!”
Jiang Yuqi greeted warmly.
“Hmm, hello, Jiang…”
Upon hearing that Jiang Yuqi was Xixi’s home tutor, Kang Huizhi’s worried heart relaxed a bit.
However, this young and beautiful home tutor did give her a sense of crisis.
It seems my son-in-law might not be easy to keep!!
