Chapter 11 House Viewing
Chapter 11 House Viewing
"Why?" Shu Weiting thought she had misheard, and she asked excitedly.
"Don't worry about why, I have my own plans. Just help me find a house like the one I mentioned above."
"..." Shu Weiting remained silent for a while.
"The sooner the better, so we can move out by tomorrow." Chu Xinglan was afraid that things might change if she delayed.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Lanlan, are you alright?" Shu Weiting asked worriedly.
"It's really nothing. I just don't want to stay at home anymore and want to go out for some fresh air," Chu Xinglan said firmly.
Shu Weiting was relieved to hear her say that.
"It's good to leave home and live elsewhere. Anyone would feel suffocated with parents like that. Okay, I'll definitely fulfill my best friend's request. Just wait for my good news."
Shu Weiting, as expected of Chu Xinglan's best friend, is very efficient. Before noon, she called Chu Xinglan and asked her to look at houses.
Chu Xinglan made an excuse to go to school, and went out the door, where she immediately met up with Shu Weiting.
They drove for an hour to reach an old neighborhood.
"This place is too remote, and it's old and dilapidated?" When she arrived at her destination, Shu Weiting was dumbfounded. She really didn't expect it to be such a place, otherwise she would never have let her best friend come here.
Chu Xinglan was quite satisfied with this place, as it was relatively quiet. Because it was somewhat old, many people did not live here. Most importantly, everyone here was a stranger, and most of them were elderly.
In Chu Xinglan's view, the old people were all very simple and honest, at most they just loved to gossip. She didn't go out most of the time, so she didn't create much gossip for them.
"I think this place is great, it meets my needs perfectly, and the price is cheap too."
"No way? You really want to live here?" Shu Weiting clicked her tongue in surprise.
She's the daughter of the Chu family, worth hundreds of millions, how could she live in a place like this?
Chu Xinglan nodded and smiled, "As expected of my best friend, she can even find me in such a remote place."
Shu Weiting looked dejected. If she had known it would be like this, she wouldn't have brought her here so eagerly.
“I have a friend who is a real estate agent. When I told him about your requirements, he immediately recommended this place to me. I didn’t expect that guy to be so unreliable, recommending such a lousy place.”
Shu Weiting grew angrier the more she thought about it, and immediately picked up her phone to give the other person a good scolding.
Chu Xinglan quickly grabbed her.
"I really like it here, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere more expensive," Chu Xinglan said.
She needs to be frugal now, because she'll need to buy formula after the baby is born. Of course, she also needs to find a job to earn some money before that, and she'll need to hire a postpartum nanny after the baby is born. These are all big expenses. Fortunately, the baby isn't born yet, and there's still a long way to go, so she has enough time to prepare for that day.
"Lanlan, your family hasn't really gone bankrupt, has it? Last time I heard you say that your family was having cash flow problems and needed a lot of money. Could it be because of this that you've really gone bankrupt?"
Seeing that Chu Xinglan suddenly valued money so much, Shu Weiting couldn't help but have some doubts.
"No, my family's financial crisis has been resolved, and my father's company is perfectly fine," Chu Xinglan reassured her.
"Then why would you treat yourself like this?" Shu Weiting asked, puzzled.
“I didn’t compromise myself. I think it’s fine now. Tingting, you’ve come all this way. Let’s go take a look at the house first. If we’re really not satisfied, we’ll talk about it later. Anyway, we haven’t signed a contract yet.”
Chu Xinglan tugged at her good friend's sleeve.
"Alright then." Shu Weiting had no choice but to look at houses with Chu Xinglan first.
Surprisingly, although the neighborhood looked old, the apartments were quite nice. The apartment they were looking at was fully furnished and had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, ready to move in.
Chu Xinglan was very satisfied and immediately finalized the signing of the contract.
"Lanlan, are you really planning to live here from now on?" Shu Weiting looked at Chu Xinglan, who had just signed the contract, with a worried expression.
"Tingting, I'm not worried, so why are you? If you're really worried, just come see me often. By the way, this will be our secret base from now on. Only you will know about me, so please don't let a third person know." Chu Xinglan smiled playfully.
Shu Weiting stared at Chu Xinglan with even greater surprise: "You can't even tell your parents?"
She increasingly felt that something must have happened to Chu Xinglan, otherwise why would she hide in such a remote place? And why couldn't anyone know?
"Absolutely not! It would be troublesome if they found out I was living here," Chu Xinglan hurriedly said.
To be honest, the people she wants to hide from most right now are her parents.
"Lanlan, tell me honestly, did your parents do something that scared you, so you want to hide from them?" Shu Weiting looked at Chu Xinglan and asked anxiously, "We are best friends, why are you hiding something from me? It's better to have more people to help you."
"Tingting, how can I put it? It's really not what you think. I just wanted to get some fresh air. You know my parents. If they knew I was here, they would come here every few days to introduce me to those unreliable rich guys. I'm so annoyed, so I wanted some peace and quiet."
Chu Xinglan told Shu Weiting with a serious expression, dispelling her doubts.
"It's good that you're alright. You must be careful living here alone. You can call me anytime, and I'll rush over no matter where I am," Shu Weiting said with a serious expression.
It has to be said that this best friend is really good to her. Other people's best friends wish that the other person would be worse off than themselves. In her past life, because she had resentment towards Gu Ye, she always ignored him. Shu Weiting always patiently persuaded her to cherish Gu Ye, this good man. She said that Xu Yang was unreliable. After she married Gu Ye, she turned around and married Yu Jiaojiao.
At that time, she only had Xu Yang in her heart and couldn't hear what anyone else was saying. Since she knew that Xu Yang had married someone else, she didn't think he was wrong. After all, she was the one who went against their love and married Gu Ye first, so it was only natural for him to marry someone else.
Looking back now, whether it was her or Yu Jiaojiao, they were just Xu Yang's juniors. Marrying either of them wouldn't have been a loss for him; on the contrary, it would have been a path to success.
"Tingting, it's so good to have you!" Overwhelmed with emotion, Chu Xinglan reached out and hugged Shu Weiting tightly.
Shu Weiting was so disgusted by her that she got goosebumps all over.
"This brat suddenly went crazy? It gave me goosebumps."
"Tingting, I've found myself liking you more and more." Chu Xinglan deliberately provoked her.
"What...what's wrong with you?" Shu Weiting took a step back and looked at Chu Xinglan with a strange expression.
Could this girl have really been traumatized and changed her sexual orientation?
