Chapter 353: Confession
“Tsk!” Wang Yunmei couldn’t help but look at the two of them. “Why are you looking at Xiao Ai?”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but secretly hold her forehead. She had initially planned to talk about this after dinner when everyone was sitting together. However, now that things had progressed to this stage, it seemed that she had to say something.
“Everyone, sit down first,” Jian Ai called out to everyone before entering the room to get a stool for Wu Shaoqi to sit on.
Surrounding the dining table, Wang Yunmei was the first to speak. “Why is it so sudden? Old Wu, is the news accurate?”
Wu Shaoqi nodded. “Of course. If it’s not accurate, why would I be in a hurry to tell you?”
Everyone still trusted Wu Shaoqi. His tofu stall was an established brand. People from various districts in Baiyun City went to buy tofu from him every day. The people he interacted with were many and varied, so his news was naturally updated the fastest.
When Wang Yunmei heard this, she couldn’t help but look at Wang Yunzhi and Yao Feng. “Look, the two of you aren’t paying attention to this matter. Once the news of the demolition is released, the property prices in Baiyun City will rise. It’s been almost two months, but the two of you haven’t taken a liking to a suitable house?”
“If there’s something suitable, then settle it. I’ll pay for it,” Wang Yunmei said.
Wang Yunzhi didn’t know if she should say anything. She hesitated and looked at Jian Ai, but Jian Ai nodded at her.
Could she say it?
Without waiting for Wang Yunzhi to say anything, Jian Ai spoke first. She looked at her mother and said, “Mom, Aunt has a house. You don’t have to worry.”
“Ah?” Wang Yunmei was stunned for a moment before looking at Wang Yunzhi. “Really?”
Wang Yunzhi smiled helplessly and nodded.
“This… When did this happen?” Wang Yunmei was a little stunned. Her sister’s bankbook only had tens of thousands of yuan. Where could she buy a house? She didn’t ask her for money!
“It happened during the weekend. It’s quite sudden,” Wang Yunzhi whispered. For a moment, she couldn’t find the right words to relate this matter to Jian Ai.
Jian Ai knew that her aunt didn’t know what to say. She immediately said to her mother, “Mom, I want to tell you something today.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone looked at Jian Ai. Jian Yu, Wang Yunzhi, and Yao Feng knew that she was going to say it.
Wang Yunmei and Wu Shaoqi, who were unaware, were a little puzzled.
“What is it?” Wang Yunmei asked.
Jian Ai paused for a moment and slowly said, “Actually… I own a company now.”
Jian Ai’s expression was serious, but Wang Yunmei blinked.
As if doubting her ears, Wang Yunmei asked again, “What?”
This reaction was the same as when Jian Yu heard this news.
This time, Jian Ai didn’t have to repeat herself. Jian Yu said, “Mom, Xiao Ai opened a company and didn’t dare to tell you.”
When Jian Yu opened his mouth, Wang Yunmei widened her eyes in shock and disbelief.
Even Wu Shaoqi was stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word.
This reaction was too natural, and Jian Ai had expected it.
She was only fourteen years old, but she did such a big thing behind her mother’s back. It was unbelievable.
At this moment, Wang Yunzhi said, “Sister, Xiao Ai arranged for my new job. She brought me to her company this weekend. It’s formal and huge. It’s a real estate company!”
As she spoke, Wang Yunzhi told her about Jian Ai giving her the house. She even emphasized that Jian Ai’s partner gave this house to her for free.
