Chapter 1729: Chapter 1664: The Co-Dependent Group in Group Petting Novels 94

Zhao Xiaofei told Fang Hui about his family’s situation.

Fang Hui still didn’t believe it.

She reached out and touched Zhao Xiaofei’s forehead: "No fever, huh? Did you have a nightmare?"

Zhao Xiaofei was both amused and annoyed: "I’m not kidding you, I’m telling the truth."

A few days ago, he specially took leave to go back to the city, asked his grandma for the keys to the house left for him, and also asked his mom how many houses they had. Surprisingly, An Xian said she didn’t know and told him to ask his third aunt.

Then Zhao Xiaofei returned to the Capital to ask An Yi.

An Yi managed all the properties for his family over the years and handed them over to Zhao Xiaofei.

When Zhao Xiaofei first received those properties, he was also quite shocked.

There were simply too many houses.

He felt he couldn’t manage them all.

Initially, An Xian had money on hand, so she asked An Yi to help buy houses. An Yi bought two houses for her in the Capital. Later, since An Xian lived at her parents’ place, they didn’t have to spend money on food and bills, and when Zhao Chuan made money, he had nowhere to spend it, so he asked An Yi to help invest it.

At that time, money wasn’t much, and An Yi didn’t buy houses in the bustling areas of the Capital, but rather in the suburbs far away, buying land wherever it was cheap.

Once, An Yi even bought an old garbage dump site, which was in the wilderness where nobody wanted it even if given for free. Within a few years, however, the place was set to build a subway station and a commercial area. Just that garbage dump was compensated with shops and quite a bit of money.

An Yi helped rent out the shops, didn’t give the money to An Xian, and helped buy more houses and land in even more remote areas.

Then started a new round of demolition and relocation.

Hard to say if it was An Xian’s luck or An Yi’s foresight.

In any case, all the houses and land An Yi helped buy for An Xian were caught in demolition rounds. Over the years, even An Xian didn’t know how much property she owned, and An Yi herself couldn’t quite figure it out.

Looking at those property deeds in his hands now, Zhao Xiaofei was worried.

How should he manage them?

He asked An Yi, and An Yi suggested: "You could quit your job, or find someone to help manage them."

After thinking about it, Zhao Xiaofei decided to find someone to help manage them.

He was somewhat reluctant to quit working.

He liked his job at the current company, he was quite happy there, and quitting meant giving up something he enjoyed. Moreover, what would he do after quitting, become a landlord?

Zhao Xiaofei felt he couldn’t handle that.

So, he asked An Yi to help find someone to manage them.

Over the years, An Yi hadn’t been managing the properties herself; initially, she handled things, but as the houses and shops increased, she too had her own matters to attend to, so she found a designated person to manage them. Now, An Yi introduced this person to Zhao Xiaofei.

The management had done very well before, so Zhao Xiaofei decided not to change people and just signed a new contract with him to continue managing this pile of matters.

Zhao Xiaofei explained everything to Fang Hui in detail.

Fang Hui took quite a while to come to her senses: "So, you should probably be considered a rich second generation, right?"

Zhao Xiaofei wasn’t sure either: "If it’s not a rich second generation, then maybe a demolition second generation. I’m also unclear; I’ve never seen how much money my family has."

Fang Hui laughed: "I’ve never seen a family like yours being so indifferent."

Zhao Xiaofei scratched his head: "Mainly because I can rely on my third aunt, my mom is lazy, and my dad is too honest. Neither of them is the steward type, so all these years, my third aunt managed everything."

Saying this, Zhao Xiaofei smiled: "Huihui, let’s go look at houses; we have so many of them, let’s first pick one to live in."

"Sure."

Fang Hui was quite happy.

Actually, she didn’t have grand ambitions nor was she hoping for a luxurious lifestyle or buying luxury goods. She always wanted a house of her own—no matter how small, but it must be cozy and clean, have a man who loves her, and then have a child, living a simple, peaceful, family life.

After work, the two of them excitedly went house hunting together.

Zhao Xiaofei had too many houses, definitely not possible to check them all, so they first looked for houses close to work with convenient living.

Holding the property deeds, the two checked them thoroughly, comparing maps, and picked out three houses near their company.

Then they drove over, looked around, and chose the largest one—a four-bedroom, two-living-room house.

After picking the house, Fang Hui started thinking about how to renovate it. The house had been simply decorated before, rented out, and was just retrieved this year. It’s fairly clean but the decor was outdated; if it was going to be a wedding home, it needed a makeover.

Fang Hui then calculated the money they had together.

Using a calculator, she did the math: "Look, I have fewer working years compared to you. I’ve saved quite a bit over the years without buying a car; currently, I have around 150,000 yuan. You have more than 200,000 yuan, and I asked my mom, my parents saved another 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. That’s enough for decorating the house, buying appliances, and hosting a wedding."

Zhao Xiaofei nodded: "Yes, we don’t have to decorate very well. This money is enough, though it feels a bit awkward to have your parents pay."

Fang Hui didn’t think it was a big deal: "It’s fine; I’m their only daughter, the money they saved is all meant for me. Besides, if we don’t let them pay for the renovation, they might feel awkward coming over later."

That made sense.

Fang Family had only Fang Hui, Fang Hui’s parents would undoubtedly live with them in the future. Fang Hui’s father has a stubborn and proud nature; if we don’t let him contribute financially, he might indeed feel embarrassed to visit later.

"Alright then." Zhao Xiaofei made a decision: "You tell your parents, I’ll ask Hai Ge to find a renovation team, and we’ll get started quickly. Once the renovation is done, we’ll get married."

The Fang Family

Mrs. Fang came back from grocery shopping and saw Mrs. Yu across the street dressed in a new coat, with a new hairstyle, and wearing lipstick, looking very spruced up.

Seeing Mrs. Fang, Mrs. Yu put on a proud smile: "Back already? Just bought this? Tsk, what kind of groceries are these, can’t afford proper ones, picking leftovers at the market?"

Mrs. Fang didn’t intend to respond to Mrs. Yu, but Mrs. Yu stopped her and chattered incessantly.

"Look at my outfit, isn’t it nice? Let me tell you, it cost thousands, bought by our Yu Zhou. Our Yu Zhou made quite a bit of money recently, gave us plenty, saying we can spend as we please. He also mentioned that soon he’ll buy us a big house. When we move into it, you’ll probably still have to put up here. Imagine, if your Fang Hui hadn’t broken up with our Zhouzhou back then, wouldn’t you have benefited as well?"
