Chapter 46: That’s All She Had
Wang Yunmei sighed in her heart when she saw her brother walk out of the lobby without looking back. She didn’t feel sad because they didn’t have many feelings for each other. Instead, she was afraid that her brother would find out about her wanting to buy a house and cause unnecessary trouble.
Among the four siblings in the family, Wang Yunmei was only slightly closer to her fourth sister. Since the two of them were not valued by the family since they were young, they had some ties that were tied by fate.
“Uncle’s too ostentatious. Isn’t he afraid that Aunt will find out?” Jian Yu looked at the disappearing figure and muttered.
Jian Ai didn’t say anything. Since her uncle dared to be so blatant, he naturally didn’t take their family seriously. On the other hand, Jian Ai remembered that her aunt was a virtuous and kind woman. She was her uncle’s university classmate, and she was cultured and managed the family affairs well.
However, no one could say for sure about this man. People said that one would become worse if one were rich, but Jian Ai knew that she could not overturn a boatload of people. There were many rich and good men, but it was obvious that her uncle was not one of them.
On the other side, Wang Yunzhong brought his young lover out of the sales office and into his car. The young woman said, “Yunzhong, your sister is quite beautiful. She looks quite young and doesn’t look like a mother of two children.”
When Wang Yunzhong heard this, the corners of his lips curled up and he squeezed out a cold smile. “That’s all she has. Otherwise, she doesn’t have any ability at all. She would have starved to death.”
The meaning behind his words was obvious that he looked down on his sister for relying on her beauty to earn money. After all, a club at Yaochi’s level was not somewhere ordinary people could enter.
When the woman heard Wang Yunzhong’s tone, she knew in her heart that his relationship with his sister was not intimate. She didn’t pursue the matter further and instead stuck close to him, acting coquettishly. “Yunzhong, let’s change to another location. This is too expensive. I can’t bear for you to spend so much money.”
When Wang Yunzhong heard this, he pinched the woman’s nose dotingly. “You’re the only sensible person!”
On the other side, Jian Ai and Jian Yu accompanied Wang Yunmei to look at a few two hundred square meter sample drawings. Some of them had already been renovated according to different styles. If they liked them, they could buy the renovated ones directly, and it would be convenient for them to stay there.
Of course, the developer still left behind some houses that could be renovated according to the style they liked. The price was also cheaper than those that were renovated.
After looking at the drawings, they followed the saleswoman to the Century Mansion neighborhood to take a look at a few houses. The neighborhood was almost the same as the sand table model at the sales office. The few luxurious houses looked grand, but after some discussion, they still decided to buy a house that they could renovate themselves.
Although South City would be demolished in the future, they were not in a hurry to move since the news had not been released yet. Besides, this was the first house their family had bought, and all of them wanted to decorate it in the style they liked. Although the renovated houses were perfect, Wang Yunmei felt that it wasn’t as interesting and meaningful.
“Two hundred square meter houses are above the thirtieth floor. The northern half is three thousand, two hundred and fifty yuan per square meter, making it a total of six hundred and fifty thousand yuan. The southern half is more expensive at seven hundred thousand yuan. However, the four balconies that cover the house are free of charge, regardless of the square meters. Other than that, an owner who buys a two hundred square meter house will also receive two fixed parking spaces for free.” The saleswoman felt that the house was about to be sold and quickly brought out some value-added gifts.
Wang Yunmei thought about it. This house cost seven hundred thousand yuan, and the renovation cost was not little. With the one million yuan saved in her card, after buying this house, there was probably not much left.
