"Oh, co on! That’s ridiculous!" Mrs. Han’s tone was sowhat complaining, "I was thinking that since both their houses are bought here! If Jiaoyang could study in the Capital after his college entrance exams, your uncle and I could also buy a villa here! But now look what happened..."
Han Mingyue looked at his mother helplessly, not quite sure what to say for the mont.
Because he had an inkling that his family probably couldn’t afford a detached villa right now.
Even with the savings he had, they likely still couldn’t afford one!
But after seeing the detached villas, Han Mingyue absolutely wouldn’t want to buy a semi-detached or a townhouse!
Even if his parents wanted to buy a semi-detached or sothing similar, which was much cheaper than a detached villa, Han Mingyue didn’t want them to buy it!
So after thinking it over, Han Mingyue decided to first find an excuse to persuade Mrs. Han, to stop her from being too eager.
Later when he finds the ti, he’ll explain to her in private about the types of villas and their prices...
"Mom! If you and dad co to the Capital, you can stay here first! If you want to buy, you can buy another one when you buy Jiaoyang’s house! Then you and dad can live on your own! As for villas, you can wait another couple of years..."
Zhen Yu: "In a couple of years, there won’t be villas built in this area either! I reckon, it won’t happen for at least five years!"
"??" Han Mingyue looked at Zhen Yu, puzzled, not understanding why she would suddenly say sothing like this.
After all, her words initially seed like she was dousing cold water on him! But upon closer consideration, he felt sothing was amiss...
——
And why exactly did Zhen Yu interject at this mont?
Naturally, it was because she, who had mories from a past life, felt what she said was the absolute truth!
Because she knew that currently, people in the Capital were still not very receptive to villas!
In pri areas within the city, like the ones near National University, even if developers built new properties, they would only build residential buildings, not villas!
After all, in the real estate market of 2001, demand and supply were laid out in front of everyone! Who would build villas they couldn’t sell?!
Real estate developers are among the shrewdest businessn in the world...
So if Mrs. Han wants to buy a villa now, she’ll have to change her target! Look sowhere else...
Like the area around Yayun Village, which is also in the city... Isn’t there already a Purple Jade Villa ready?
"Not going to build? Wait another five years?" After Mrs. Han repeated these two sentences, she suddenly felt deflated! "Then forget it! If it’s like what Xiao Yu does, buying a villa but having to live near the airport, I might as well listen to Ming Yue’s advice and buy another apartnt here!"
No sooner had Mrs. Han finished speaking than Zhen Yu was startled and imdiately cried out in her heart—"Oh no!"
What’s this situation now!?
Her saying they won’t build here was only ant to get Mrs. Han to consider buying sowhere else! She never ant to dissuade Mrs. Han from buying at all!
Mrs. Han’s ’grand dream’ of buying a villa definitely, absolutely can’t be killed in its cradle because of one sentence from her!
Otherwise, when the housing prices skyrocket in the future, she’d be scolded to death by the Han Family!
Zhen Yu felt that this couldn’t go on! This definitely wouldn’t work!
She had to sweet-talk! She had to sweet-talk urgently!
She had to quickly re-ignite the ’villa’ desire in Mrs. Han’s heart—no, that’s not right! She had to get it planted again!
——
"Mom! A villa is not the sa as an apartnt building! Didn’t you always reminisce about how comfortable it was living in a standalone house with a courtyard when we were in Qi City? That’s why you can go ahead and buy an apartnt, but don’t pass up on a villa! You can live in both whenever you want... Although there aren’t any villas in this area, I know where you can find so for sale in the city! You don’t have to buy near the airport; there’s a community not far from Beijing University, called Purple Jade Villa..."
"Xiao Yu." While Zhen Yu was enthusiastically persuading her, Han Mingyue suddenly interrupted her and even reached out to pull her up from the sofa.
"Ah?" Zhen Yu was stunned by his sudden move, and it took her two seconds to recover, "What are you doing?"
Han Mingyue said calmly, "It’s getting late, we should head back to school."
"But,"
"There’s no ’but’, let’s go! We can talk on the way!" While saying this, Han Mingyue started to help Zhen Yu put on her down jacket.
Left with no choice, Zhen Yu resignedly smiled at Mrs. Han.
"Then, Mom, let’s talk another day!"
Mrs. Han was also montarily stunned, clearly not quite understanding the intention behind her eldest son’s interruption of her conversation with Zhen Yu.
But quickly! She imdiately showed an even bigger smile than Zhen Yu’s and said, "Go, go! You have classes tomorrow. It’s right for you to go back early and rest! Co over again next weekend to hang out!"
"Mhm! Then, Mom, Jiaoyang! We’re taking off."
"Mom, Jiaoyang, we’re leaving."
Han Jiayang: "Goodbye, brother and sister-in-law!"
Zhen Yu’s face flushed, and then she was swiftly pulled out the door by Han Mingyue!
Just before the security door closed, Zhen Yu heard Mrs. Han chuckle and scold, "You rascal! What’s the sudden fuss about..."
——
"Where are we going now? Do you have sothing to tell ?" The reason for asking this was naturally because Zhen Yu also realized that Han Mingyue must have made an excuse to take her away.
Han Mingyue nodded, then said straightforwardly, "Yeah! Let’s go to your place first! We can talk about going back to school after dinner."
"That’s fine." Zhen Yu thought Han Mingyue had sothing to tell her, so she agreed readily.
However...
As soon as they returned to Zhen Yu’s house, Han Mingyue locked himself in the room, and apart from occasionally hearing faint talking sounds, Zhen Yu had no idea what he was doing inside or who he was on the phone with!
It wasn’t until Zhen Yu finished preparing dinner and called him out to eat that Han Mingyue ca out of his room!
And then he didn’t talk during the al!
It was only after dinner, when they finished cleaning up the kitchen together!
Zhen Yu was thinking in her mind, ’If he’s not going to talk, fine!’ ’We’ll just head straight back to school in a while!’ But then Han Mingyue suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the sofa, telling her he had sothing to say!
Zhen Yu was actually a bit annoyed.
I an, look at the ti now! If he really wanted to talk, why didn’t he do it earlier?!
But after holding back for a mont, she still forcefully restrained her temper and decided to listen first, to what Han Mingyue was actually going to say!
