Chapter 917 - 918: Why Do I Feel Like You’re Gloating?
Chu Yucheng looked at this courtyard and genuinely admired Yunyi. She really did what she promised; this courtyard is not smaller than the Chu Family’s courtyard.
Before long, other members of the Chu Family also arrived.
Jiang Yuli was the most loudmouthed: "This is great, we’ve finally set down roots in Beijing."
But no one echoed her words.
After all, the Chu Family had split before. Old Master Chu had been living with the Main Consort, and this house, as Yunyi said, had already been transferred to Chu Yucheng’s name. So this house belongs to Chu Yucheng, and only those he allows can live here.
Jiang Yuli noticed no one was speaking and a trace of embarrassment crossed her face.
But she’s a flexible person and quickly changed her strategy, pulling Bai Shuangjiang, the wife of the Main Consort, aside: "Sister-in-law, there are plenty of rooms here. Our two families can live here without feeling cramped. It was definitely the right decision to come to Beijing."
Inside, she’s feeling quite happy since this house is priceless.
Since the Chu Family members were satisfied, Yunyi and Huo Jingrui didn’t intend to linger here.
Yunyi walked over to Chu Yucheng: "Second Grandpa, are you satisfied with this house?"
Chu Yucheng understood Yunyi instantly and nodded: "You’ve thought it through so thoroughly; there’s no reason to be dissatisfied. Second Grandpa feels ashamed."
Yunyi handed over the property deed and keys: "Second Grandpa, please don’t say that. This is like a way to repay Grandpa and their nurturing kindness. Things that belong to the Chu Family returning to the rightful Chu Family members; it fulfills everyone’s wishes."
Chu Yucheng knew who Yunyi referred to as ’everyone’; this child truly has an understanding mind, considering everyone: "Yunyi, Second Grandpa thanks you."
As he accepted the property deed and keys from Yunyi, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Yunyi and Huo Jingrui found an excuse and left Nanluoguxiang first.
Yunyi didn’t sit in the passenger seat but got into the back.
Huo Jingrui naturally knew what she intended, started the car, and glided out: "Yi’er, we can stay in the city for one more day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we must return to the base first thing in the morning."
Yunyi responded nonchalantly: "Alright, then tomorrow, let’s get everyone together for a meal. I can officially become part of your Huo family."
Mentioning the Huo family inevitably made her think of Third Sister-in-law Duan Zhuangyu: "Jingrui, I’m not badmouthing anyone, but Third Brother really didn’t have great judgment. How did he come to fancy Third Sister-in-law at first?"
Huo Jingrui laughed while driving: "Probably love is blind. It takes two to tango; who can you blame?"
Yunyi couldn’t help but be curious: "Was Third Sister-in-law always like this?"
Huo Jingrui thought for a while before replying: "She was always quite finicky, to begin with. But Third Brother was into that, at least back then. Whether he still likes it now, I don’t know."
He said, laughing again.
Yunyi was taking things out from the space, asking, "What are you laughing at?"
Huo Jingrui lightly coughed: "I guess Third Brother is probably regretting it now."
Then, he added slowly: "I remember back then, Sister reminded him, but he said Sister didn’t understand romance, making her upset with him for several days. Mom had to mediate a few times to reconcile them."
"Even if Third Brother is annoyed now, he has to bear the consequences of not listening to advice back then. Holding back must be quite hard for him."
Yunyi gave him a sideways glance: "Why do I feel like you’re taking a bit of pleasure in his misfortune?"
Huo Jingrui answered directly: "Be more confident; remove the words ’feel like’."
