“Manshu, how old is your sister?”
“What’s her personal situation like?”
Ai Yongyi was too excited about this juicy gossip, and she kept asking with curiosity.
However, Li Manshu wasn’t in the mood to talk about her sister, frowning, she asked, “Yongyi, do you really think he is pursuing my sister?”
“If not, then what?”
“Has he ever given you a Porsche Cayenne?”
“He even gave your parents a Wenjie M9 that’s worth over five hundred thousand!”
“It’s pretty obvious, right?!”
Ai Yongyi shrugged her shoulders and then, confused, said, “Eh, that doesn’t make sense. Why would you break up with such a wealthy boyfriend?”
“Or did he break up with you??”
Through working together for some time, Ai Yongyi had come to understand her subordinate, who had a clear goal of finding a rich man.
But her ex-boyfriend was clearly wealthy, yet they still broke up!
Uh-huh, it’s likely that the scumbag fell for her sister and dumped her.
This gossip is so thrilling!!
Ai Yongyi silently imagined a scenario where two sisters fall for the same man.
This was just like a dramatic romance novel coming to life!
What the head of design didn’t know was that the actual situation was even more complicated than her wild imagination…
At this moment, Li Manshu felt a sting from Ai Yongyi’s words.
Why the breakup?
If she had known it would end up like this, she wouldn’t have split up for the world!
Now, Li Manshu wondered, if her ex-husband Yang Hao really got together with her sister, what should she do??
Firstly, how should she address Yang Hao the next time she sees him.
Her ex-husband turned into her brother-in-law??
This is just too bizarre!!
And what should Yang Hao call her after running into her?
Call her sister??
The ex-wife becomes the elder sister-in-law!!
And from Xixi’s perspective, it’s like daddy is also my uncle…
It’s all messed up!
Everything’s in chaos!!
Li Manshu held her forehead, feeling like her brain was about to explode.
“Manshu, the key issue right now is your sister’s attitude.”
“Does she have feelings for your ex-boyfriend?”
Ai Yongyi continued to savor the juicy story.
“I don’t know…”
Li Manshu numbingly shook her head.
In her heart, she had the answer, her sister had always admired her brother-in-law, so it was impossible not to have any feelings.
However, when she and Yang Hao were not divorced, that kind of fondness was just the admiration of a little sister-in-law for her brother-in-law, which probably wouldn’t turn into anything else.
But now, it was hard to say!
Probably, that fondness had already turned into something else!
After all, which young girl can resist the onslaught of such financial prowess??
Now, all that was missing was another house as a gift!
If a house is given too, that’s practically no different from marrying her off.
“Yongyi, what do you think I should do?”
Li Manshu massaged her forehead. She really felt like her brain was about to blow up.
It was just a divorce!
And it led to such a complicated situation.
Ai Yongyi shook her head: “I don’t know, I’ve only heard about such situations in the news and novels.”
The gossip-loving director Ai saw a news piece just the other day about a woman whose husband died and then she married her brother-in-law with her mother-in-law’s matchmaking. It was somewhat similar to Li Manshu’s situation, just with gender roles reversed.
After thinking for a while, Ai Yongyi added, “I think it’s still about your own mentality. If you can be at peace with it, then interact normally. If it bothers you too much, then you might have to limit your interactions.”
“Luckily it’s just an ex-boyfriend, after all, you weren’t married, otherwise, it would be even more troublesome…”
Clearly, Ai Yongyi’s last comment hit a nerve.
Li Manshu felt like crying but had no tears; they didn’t just get married – they had a child who’s already grown!!
But on second thought, this was a good thing for Xixi.
After all, it’s better to have her aunt as a stepmother than some other woman.
And it seemed like it wouldn’t affect her own parents at all; Yang Hao would still be their son-in-law!
So…
The one who was really affected was actually just me!
At this thought, Li Manshu felt dumbfounded.
Experience the journey at m-vl-em-py-r
So she had become the only outsider!!
Durian Real Estate.
This was Wang Xiuxiu’s first day on the job.
The manager of her previous real estate agency was always trying to enforce some unspoken rules, so after she received the commission from Yang Hao’s deal, she resigned.
After being bored for more than ten days, she rejoined Durian Real Estate today.
While she was sorting through property listings, she received a message from Yang, the generous client from before, asking her to help look for a house near the Star Cloud Bay residential area.
The budget: twenty million, fully furnished, preferably the kind you can just move into with a suitcase.
As soon as she saw the figure of twenty million, her eyes widened, and she straightened her back, which had been bent until then!
This was a big deal worth twenty million!
If it actually fell into her lap, the commission itself would be a huge sum.
Conveniently, the Durian Real Estate she worked for was not far from Star Cloud Bay, and indeed, she was handling listings in that very area.
This was like the heavens were spoon-feeding her!!
No, it was Yang who was spoon-feeding her!!
Long live Yang!!
Xiuxiu cheered inwardly.
“Xiuxiu, how’s the property listing going?”
“You have a good image, you could appear on camera to shoot videos.”
The manager of this Durian Real Estate branch was a woman in her thirties, slightly plump, named Wu Tian.
The rise of social media had impacted all industries, and now many real estate agents relied on making videos to sell houses.
Wu Tian thought the newly joined Xiuxiu was quite suitable for being on camera.
“I’m still looking.”
“By the way, Sister Tian, do we have any good listings for luxury houses under twenty million?”
Xiuxiu went ahead and asked the manager directly.
Having just started, she did not have her own properties to manage, so even if she sold a house, she would have to give a cut of the commission to the person who maintained the listing.
So rather than benefit someone else, it made more sense to sell the manager a favor and see if she had any listings that met Yang’s requirements.
“Our agency is situated in the wealthy district of this area, and we do have quite a few luxury houses on sale for tens of millions, but, Xiuxiu, you don’t need to focus your energy on these luxury houses; they have poor liquidity, and only a few get sold each year.”
Wu Tian thought the newcomer Xiuxiu was aiming too high.
Naturally, every real estate agent wants to sell luxury houses, since the higher the price, the higher the commission, which is linked to the total price of the house.
But in Jiangcheng, the turnover for luxury houses above ten million is actually quite low, so such big deals are not easy to come across.
“Sister Tian, I have a client who is looking for that kind of property.”
Xiuxiu knew she was being misunderstood and hurriedly clarified.
“A client?”
“You’ve got such a client on your first day at work??” Wu Tian was shocked.
“It’s an old client I knew before.”
“Oh, I see!”
Wu Tian nodded, her interest piqued. “There’s a listing at Binjiang Left Bank with an asking price of 18.88 million. The owner is in urgent need of cash and has reduced the price several times already. It’s the most cost-effective unit in the Binjiang Left Bank area…”
Wu Tian immediately thought of the luxury house she was managing, which initially had a listing price of 23.5 million, but now, with housing prices falling across the country, Jiangcheng was no exception. It was even harder to sell such luxury housing that caters to a quite small target audience.
Thus, the price of the house had been reduced from the listing price of 23.5 million all the way down to 18.88 million.
Meanwhile.
Yang Hao received a link to the house listing sent by Wang Xiuxiu.
He clicked to view it, and it was a 428-square-meter property at Binjiang Left Bank.
Binjiang Left Bank was just across the street from Star Cloud Bay, and though it was also considered luxury housing, the smallest unit in the complex was 180 square meters, and the largest was 428 square meters. There was a gap in the class compared to Star Cloud Bay, and currently, housing prices ranged between forty and fifty thousand per square meter.
Yang Hao viewed the current state of the property through a VR video, and it met his requirements.
There were no new properties left in the city center where Star Cloud Bay is located, so anyone wanting to buy a house in that area had to choose from the secondary market. Star Cloud Bay had the shortest period on the market, and because of the high total prices, there were even unsold new units, unlike other residential areas.
Naturally, Yang Hao did not want to place Li Manni in Star Cloud Bay, as it would be quite awkward if he happened to run into her while bringing Yibao or Meng Chacha home within the complex.
But the Fenghua Residential Area where Li Manni currently lived was quite far from Star Cloud Bay, and the environment was also comparatively poor, so he was planning to use this opportunity to take advantage of the System’s benefits to resolve his younger sister-in-law’s housing issue.
After all, even if he bought a house, it was not certain that his parents-in-law would come to live in Jiangcheng. Elderly people often wish to return to their roots, and during his last visit home, Yang Hao discussed with his parents the possibility of settling in Jiangcheng. However, they were reluctant, as people really don’t like to leave a place they are accustomed to.
So after purchasing the house, Li Manni could move in.
Besides, Yang Hao felt that his parents-in-law were sensible. If he bought a house, it was naturally intended for his younger sister-in-law, Li Manni, to live in!
“Hao, this car is just too easy to drive. Switching to smart drive mode, I barely need to touch the steering wheel.”
At this moment, Li Baojun was already driving the Wenjie M9, the 55-year-old excited like a little child.
It’s the same old story, there isn’t a man who doesn’t like cars.
If there is any reason for not liking them, it’s probably just one: they genuinely cannot afford them!
Right now, Yang Hao and Li Manshu were sitting in the second row. The interior layout of the Wenjie M9 was a bit like an MPV. Typically, MPVs have a 2-2-3 seating arrangement, but the Wenjie M9 was designed with a spacious 2-2-2 arrangement. Just as that Feifei the little silicone bot had said, it was absolutely comfortable to sit in!
“You should still hold onto the steering wheel; it scares me just to watch!”
Kang Huizhi, seated in the passenger seat, was somewhat nervous. It was her first time seeing someone drive without having to hold the steering wheel.
“The salesperson said that even without a map, the smart driving is no problem, not to mention we still have the navigation on.”
Li Baojun indeed was enjoying himself. Actually, he owned a car—a Buick Excelle that Yang Hao had handed down to him. That Excelle was the first car Yang Hao bought when he started to earn money and was over a decade old, considered a vintage by now.
However, Li Baojun rarely drove it since it was quite a gas guzzler. A 1.6-liter naturally aspirated car was guzzling eleven to twelve liters per hundred kilometers, a heavy burden for Li Baojun with his modest income.
“Brother-in-law, aren’t we going back to Star Cloud Bay?”
“Why are we heading to Binjiang Left Bank?”
Yang Hao had activated the navigation with a voice command earlier, and the destination was set to Binjiang Left Bank. Li Manni couldn’t resist asking out of curiosity.
“Didn’t I say earlier that we were going to buy one last thing for Mom and Dad?”
“Huh?”
“There doesn’t seem to be a shopping mall next to Binjiang Left Bank, does there?” Li Manni asked, visibly puzzled.
Yang Hao, however, just smiled without replying.
Seeing this, Li Manni thought for a moment, then her eyes widened in astonishment, “Brother-in-law, you’re not planning to buy a house, are you??”
