Chapter 1198 Being too naive will lead to trouble.
Su Xing and He Xu led the elderly couple of the Su family into the house.
Manager Liu saw them first and immediately jogged over to greet them.
"Mr. He, Ms. Su, you've arrived."
He Xu said, "Yes, I'm here."
Manager Liu then looked at the elderly couple from the Su family.
Su Xing said, "These are my grandparents."
Manager Liu quickly said, "Hello, sir and madam."
Grandma Su smiled and said, "Hello."
Grandpa Su hummed in agreement and said to Manager Liu, "Thank you for your hard work."
Manager Liu smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all, it's my duty."
The workers smiled and nodded at Su Xing and He Xu before continuing with their tasks.
He Xu said, "Take us a look and explain the modifications."
"Okay okay."
Manager Liu agreed and began showing the four people the progress of the house renovation, while also inquiring about Su Xing and He Xu's satisfaction and their thoughts on the details.
The elderly couple from the Su family exchanged glances from time to time, but neither of them offered any opinions.
Su Xing, He Xu, and Manager Liu had finished their conversation.
Grandpa Su beckoned to Su Xing, "Xiao Xing, come with us to the balcony upstairs."
"Oh well."
Su Xing agreed and went upstairs with her grandparents.
He Xu knew that the Su family elders had something to say to Su Xing, so he didn't go up with them.
The three members of the Su family went up to the attic and onto the terrace. Old Master Su then turned around and closed the glass door to the terrace.
This terrace offers a panoramic view of the neighborhood.
They just went upstairs through the underground parking garage.
At this moment, the elderly Su couple finally saw the full picture of the community. They were impressed by how well the landscaping and planning were done.
Although it is winter now, you can still see that the trees are very dense and the scenery is beautiful.
Considering the location of this neighborhood, which is adjacent to several top universities and close to the Summer Palace, as well as the size, layout, and decoration of the houses, you can tell that it is a luxury residence and the price must be very expensive.
Grandpa Su looked at his eldest granddaughter and finally spoke, "This house...was bought by the He family?"
Su Xing said, "He Xu bought it; the rest of the He family didn't get involved."
Grandma Su asked, "And what about you?"
"Me?" Su Xing laughed, "I didn't contribute any money either."
The elderly couple from the Su family still looked very serious.
Su Xing added, "He Xu said he wanted to add my name and then notarize my ownership percentage of the house, but I did not agree."
Grandma Su said, "It's right that you didn't agree. We don't want anything from them. Besides, what if... I mean what if, you don't end up together? It'll save us some trouble."
Su Xing hugged her grandmother's arm, "That's what I think too."
Grandpa Su, however, still frowned. "Doesn't Xiao He already have an apartment? Why is he getting another one? What's he thinking? Is it... a wedding home?"
Grandma Su's eyes widened. "Isn't it a bit too early? How old is Xiaoxing..."
In fact, among the people they know, quite a few who have the means prepare wedding homes for their children well in advance.
But the thought that it was their eldest granddaughter's fiancé who was preparing the wedding room made them feel uneasy, as they felt it was too early.
They're afraid their eldest granddaughter will be forced into marriage; she's still so young!
She's only twenty years old! She hasn't even graduated from university yet!
"No, no!" Su Xing quickly explained, "It's not a wedding room. He Xu just feels that the apartment is a bit small. We have cats and dogs at home, so we need a larger living space. Sometimes we work from home, so we also need a more comfortable workspace. Also, I'm learning some traditional Chinese musical instruments now, and to avoid disturbing the neighbors, I usually practice the flute and erhu in an outdoor space. But it's not very convenient for me to learn the guzheng and the like, so he wants to get me a soundproof music room..."
Grandma Su exclaimed in astonishment, "Just for these things, you bought a house like this??"
“It’s close to Peking University and Beihang University here. Although He Xu is graduating soon, the company he’s going to work for is also in Haidian District, which is convenient for both of us.” Su Xing paused and continued, “As for the future… when we really get to the point of starting a family, we can choose a suitable house. He has other properties under his name, or we can buy a house that suits our tastes better.”
The elderly couple looked at each other for the nth time, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
After a moment, Old Master Su said, "What he has are... shares and dividends given to him by his mother's family?"
Su Xing said, "That's mostly true. Although he gets a salary for his research, it certainly can't compare to the bonuses he can get."
She knew what her grandparents were worried about.
They were afraid that the He family might have some shady income through their power, and if it were to come to light later, it would implicate He Xu and her as well.
Then she added, "Grandpa He and He Xu's father are both very upright and honest people, and they are also smart people. They would not do anything dangerous that would harm the family. He Xu would never spend that kind of money. The money and assets he has are all from legitimate and clean sources. Grandpa, Grandma, you don't need to worry."
Grandpa Su said, "Alright, as long as you keep it in mind, but... you should also be careful and not trust anyone completely. Besides, people can change."
Grandma Su also said, "Xiao Xing, being too naive will only lead to trouble."
Su Xing knew that this was normal concern and advice from her grandparents as their elders towards their granddaughter.
At this moment, there's no need to keep emphasizing how good and reliable her boyfriend is to her. What she needs to do is reassure her grandparents and not let them think she's a naive, love-struck fool.
She replied earnestly, "I know, I won't blindly trust anyone."
Not blindly trusting doesn't mean she doesn't trust anyone; she simply has the ability to observe and judge.
The elderly Su couple stared at their eldest granddaughter for a long time, then said nothing more.
"Let's go, let's go downstairs." Old Master Su walked towards the balcony door with his hands behind his back.
Su Xing quickly took two steps and opened the door for his grandparents.
The three members of the Su family went downstairs.
He Xu smiled and looked at them, "The view from upstairs is alright, isn't it?"
Grandma Su said, "It's nice, this neighborhood is really pretty."
The four of them stayed upstairs for a while, then went downstairs to visit the neighborhood.
Walking in the community is very different from looking down from an apartment building; you can more clearly appreciate the elegance of each step revealing a new scene.
Building No. 10 in the community is a clubhouse open to residents, which includes the reconstructed "Wanglong Tower" with a history of 260 years, as well as a library, reception room, swimming pool, gym, family health management center, etc.
After Su Xing and He Xu showed the elderly Su couple around the house and the neighborhood, it was already evening.
The four of them left the residential area and went to have dinner together.
Back at the hotel that evening, Grandpa Su started searching online for information such as the average price of houses in the neighborhood.
When Grandpa Su saw the house price, his eyes widened in surprise!
"Wow! It's so expensive!"
Grandma Su looked at her husband and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so startled?"
Grandpa Su said, "The house we saw today, Xiao He's house, is worth over 100 million!"
