Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Driving Safety (2/5)

Wang Qiuhe ignored her, got directly out of bed, grabbed her clothes, and after changing in the restroom, she went downstairs, completely disregarding Fan Tianhua’s accusations and curses chasing after her.

It wasn’t until she left the room and got on the elevator that Wang Qiuhe felt peace in her ears. Honestly, during these two months, she had been well taken care of; the food in Xiyuan hardly needs mentioning—eating there for a long time could indeed make one’s taste buds quite particular. Furthermore, during the half-month she spent in Ning City with the group, the food was excellent. So, when confronted with the topped rice dish, a feeling of disgust arose spontaneously and before she could stop herself, she tossed the food away.

Wang Qiuhe would never realize that she was the one with the problem. At the moment, she was still blaming these people for not even bothering to keep up appearances, serving her something so slapdash, as if they were done with her. She refused to believe they would eat this stuff when dining out; even leftovers would be better than topped rice.

But in fact, if leftover food had been provided, Wang Qiuhe would still have had something to complain about; so, the result would have been the same. Wang Qiuhe just wanted to throw a tantrum.

However, Wang Qiuhe might have forgotten one thing—she hardly had any money on hand. When she came to Jiangcheng, Mei Yifan had given her some cash on the down-low. Though she hadn’t had the chance to spend it, after going to Ning City and buying some knick-knacks, it was all spent. This left her, who was already tight on money, even tighter.

But she wasn’t entirely without options. After checking her wallet and confirming she still had some cash, she went downstairs and had a bowl of noodles.

Plain noodles.

Even plainer than the topped rice she had scoffed at, yet Wang Qiuhe ate with glee. She was pleased with it.

But Fan Tianhua inside the room wasn’t happy at all. Even though the house wasn’t hers, it did belong to Fan Tianyu, after all. She would allow herself to wreak havoc in this house but would never permit Wang Qiuhe to do the same.

Seeing Wang Qiuhe leave, Fan Tianhua was almost fuming with rage, "What does she think she is, tossing out food like that? Look at what she’s done to the wall."

The Fan siblings inherently didn’t care for the Mei Family members, and this kind of behavior was the most annoying of all. Fan Tianhua was hopping mad, but Fan Tianyu was as indifferent as can be, which led to Fan Tianhua cursively including him in her rant, "Isn’t this your house? It’s just been renovated; don’t you care at all?"

He obviously did care. Even if he could afford it, the house was new, the decoration was new, so how could he not be upset? But it was already dirty; fretting about it was useless, "Fine, I’ll get someone to take care of it. But let’s wait until she’s gone before dealing with it, to avoid giving Qiuhe a reason to snitch. We can use this against her later on."

Mei Mengzhen looked at the extent of the mess and said, "Do we need to hire someone for this? I can do it just fine."

The Fan siblings were stunned and incredulously asked, "Zhenzhen, you know how to do renovation work too?"

"Not an expert, but hiring a craftsman for such a small area is a waste. I have leftover decorating materials. We just need to sand the area down, apply a layer of putty and then one of paint; it’s really simple. We use the same brand, so once it’s painted, it should be unnoticeable. However, we shouldn’t have anyone staying in this room for a while."

Fan Tianyu naturally had no objections. "Sure, you go ahead and do it, but don’t push yourself. It’s not going to cost much anyway."

"No, I really know how to do it."

With a solution now at hand, Fan Tianhua found herself unable to stay angry. It was then she suddenly remembered something, "Would Qiuhe guess that the house is already yours?"

"Whether it’s mine or not is none of her business. She can’t possibly expect to move in, right? If that’s the case, I’ll sell this place right away and move somewhere else." That’s why it’s really good to own multiple properties. He quickly asked Mei Mengzhen, "What about that property Yiran mentioned? When can she sell it to us?"

"I’ve spoken with her; the arrangements are all made. Adding both our contributions, it’s an even number of floors. We each take half. After the semester starts, the contract will be ready for our signatures. Then we can make the payment."

This property would most certainly be bought in cash; there was no need for a mortgage. They both had money.

Upon hearing that the two were planning to buy another property, Fan Tianhua could only feel a pang of jealousy, which eventually subsided without further comment.

With Wang Qiuhe gone, the atmosphere at home was much more harmonious. Mei Mengzhen suddenly remembered that Fan Tianyu had driven over. "What about the car?"

Fan Tianyu was speechless, "I’ve been back for a while, and you’re only asking that now? After I met with Mengcheng last night, I left the car with him. He’ll drive it back; it should arrive by Saturday, but I don’t know exactly when."

If you consider the driving time from before, they should be back either in the afternoon or evening.

Mei Mengzhen said, "Don’t push them too hard. Safety comes first. No fatigued driving."

"There’s no fatigued driving. Fatigued driving is when you drive without stopping or sleeping. Our journey is a two-day overnight one, when did we have to stay awake all night? In fact, it could actually take just over a day to get back."

If that were the case, with some extra driving in the evening, the two really could be back by the afternoon or night.

Fan Tianhua, lounging on the sofa, had been sending messages for a while. She then handed her phone to Fan Tianyu, "Mom says you need to pick them up in Xincheng."

Fan Tianhua’s words were unexpected, but after seeing the chat with her mom, Fan Tianyu said, "You two have agreed on a time."

Fan Tianhua shook her head, "No, can’t you see for yourself if you scroll up? There’s no time set, but you definitely have to go pick her up; Mom has spoken."

Fan Tianyu grimaced and said, "I don’t feel like it. Let’s forget about today. Tell mom we’ve just come back from a trip and will pick her up tomorrow morning."

Fan Tianyu was not lying; they had indeed taken the morning flight back home.

Fan Tianhua relayed that message, and Mei Yinan on the other end did not reply but shortly thereafter called Fan Tianyu’s phone.

’Hello, Mom.’

’Tianhua told me you guys went on a business trip. What kind of business requires bringing your sister along?’

In Mei Yinan’s understanding, if Fan Tianyu had to be on a business trip, it should be with Mei Mengzhen, so it was very strange for Fan Tianhua to accompany him.

’Business stuff. We just landed and went for a meal. After eating, I’m thinking of resting. I didn’t sleep well last night; fatigued driving is not okay. So, is it alright if I come to pick you up tomorrow morning?’

After a moment of hesitation on the line, Mei Yinan asked, ’What about Mengcheng? Hasn’t he come back? Have him pick us up.’

’No, no, he and Yongwang are both out on business I assigned, and they’ll be back tomorrow afternoon or evening. Why, is there something urgent?’

’Um, I had actually thought of coming over tonight. Tomorrow morning we would have done the school run and then all of us would have come back in the afternoon. You all need to come too.’
