The whole estate’s certificated area was 680 square meters, but with the second floor and a basement, the actual usable area reached 1100 square meters.
Among the three courtyards, the main courtyard with water and trees received unanimous praise, and the interior decoration of the house was quite commendable, equipped with air conditioning and smart home systems, a perfect blend of classical and modern style.
In summary, this was an ideal place for vacationing and retirement.
However, the courtyard was ultimately too large, and it was estimated that the maintenance costs wouldn’t be low.
Of course, compared to the 40-million price tag of the house, perhaps tens of thousands a year in upkeep wouldn’t be much, and no one would worry about this problem for Zhou Wang...
When they returned to the front yard, the lawyer with the commission letter, Lawyer Huang, also timely proposed his leave.
After seeing him off, Zhou Wang returned to find the women still enthusiastically discussing the mansion’s décor, so Zhou Wang pondered a bit and asked Su Man:
"Aunt, since you run a homestay, you probably have connections for bed linens, right?"
"Of course, are you thinking..."
Su Man was startled.
"I see this house is cleaned quite well, and I was thinking we wouldn’t go to a hotel tonight, so I’m wondering if you could contact someone to help set up a bedroom simply, just enough to stay."
Zhou Wang laughed, "No need to worry about brands or materials, those can be slowly replaced later."
"If you don’t have any requirements, I still have quite a few spare sets at my place, all brand new. I’ll have Old Wang bring them over in a bit."
Su Man thought for a moment and said, referring to "Old Wang" as Su Yajing’s uncle.
"Yay, I also want to sleep at brother’s new house tonight!"
Hearing Su Man agree, Su Yajing was the first to express her excitement.
Seeing Su Yajing’s unreserved look, Su Man was about to reprimand her, but the words ultimately turned into silence.
Just then, Zhou Wang’s phone rang again, and after a glance, he stepped aside to take the call.
Taking advantage of this pause, Su Man pulled Su Yajing aside and asked seriously, "Ranran, what does Zhou Wang’s family actually do?"
"I’m not too sure either, but I’ve heard my brother say they seem like an ordinary family..."
"Have you ever seen an ordinary family that can just casually spend 40 million to buy a house?"
Su Man was obviously skeptical.
"It should be true; brother wouldn’t lie to me." Su Yajing confidently smiled, "Aunt, isn’t it possible that brother earned the money himself?"
"What are you saying... how could that be possible!"
Su Man was stunned, looking at Su Yajing in disbelief.
"Though I haven’t really investigated, I’ve heard brother talking to others. Anyway, he was quite poor when he was in college. It’s only after graduation that he suddenly became rich..."
Su Yajing chuckled.
Su Man gaped, and since she didn’t truly understand Zhou Wang, her judgments about him were all based on common sense assumptions. Listening to Su Yajing, she couldn’t find anything to rebut...
Yeah, everything she thought was just what she assumed. How could she say Zhou Wang couldn’t become a billionaire on his own?
Seeing the slightly smug look on Su Yajing’s face, Su Man felt a bit irked and coldly retorted,
"So what if he’s rich, how does that relate to you? Without the protection of a marriage certificate, when he gets bored and dumps you, you’ll be left with nowhere to cry!"
"He wouldn’t!"
Mentioning this, Su Yajing looked rebellious, "Aunt, your traditional views don’t apply to brother. You don’t even know how good he is to me!"
"Oh, how good can he be?" Su Man replied absent-mindedly with a smile.
"Take a look..."
Su Yajing finally found the opportunity, opened her WeChat balance, and showed it to Su Man.
Su Man just glanced at it and immediately sat up straight. Her previously indifferent expression turned to one of shock and disbelief.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand... where did you get so much money!"
Su Man raised her head, looking at Su Yajing incredulously.
"Of course, brother gave it to me. We’ve been dating for less than a month, and he’s already transferred nearly 400,000 to me. I’ve spent some, but there’s still that much left..."
Four hundred thousand in a month?!
Su Man couldn’t see her expression, but she imagined it must be quite a spectacle.
But before Su Man could fully digest this fact, Su Yajing also showed off her bracelet, "Oh right, Aunt, this Cartier bracelet, can you guess how much it is?"
"Nearly 670,000!"
Perhaps knowing Su Man couldn’t guess, Su Yajing immediately provided the answer.
"And my Hermes bag... previously I told you it was a high replica, but it actually wasn’t. It’s also from brother, about tens of thousands..."
After saying this, Su Yajing’s eyes seemed red with emotion as she gazed at Su Man.
"So, Aunt, how can you say brother isn’t good to me... even if he wouldn’t marry me, why would I leave him, and why wouldn’t I... give him all my love?"
Su Yajing murmured, "I wish I could give everything brother desires, only hoping he won’t grow tired of me one day..."
Su Man stared blankly at the tears forming in Su Yajing’s eyes, utterly at a loss for how to react, or what to say.
She wanted to ask Su Yajing, why didn’t you say this earlier...
But thinking again, it seemed she was previously unwilling to hear anything from Su Yajing about Zhou Wang, leaving her completely speechless at the moment.
At this point, Zhou Wang, having finished his phone call, returned and didn’t notice anything odd between Su Man and Su Yajing, just giving a quick command to Miao Ying:
