What Jian Ai meant was that their family was not lacking money now.
“How… how much?” Jian Yu was confused. “Mom’s annual salary is three hundred thousand yuan?”
Jian Ai looked at the stunned Jian Yu and nodded. She didn’t forget to add, “There are still year-end bonuses.”
It was as if Wang Yunmei hadn’t gotten used to the fact that she was promoted and that there was an additional one million yuan in her bankbook. Hence, she forgot about all of this.
Hearing her daughter’s analysis, Wang Yunmei’s train of thought gradually became clear. Although she would have a relocation house by then, her son would need a house when he gets married in the future. She still didn’t know how long she could remain as the general manager, so she couldn’t place her hopes on the annual salary of three hundred thousand yuan. Instead, she should buy an additional house while she can.
With this thought in mind, Wang Yunmei instantly understood. She didn’t expect her daughter to be so meticulous. She immediately nodded and said, “Xiao Ai is right. We have to buy a house now. Otherwise, once the news of the demolition comes out, the property prices will rise.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Jian Ai knew that her mother understood her meaning. She immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Jian Yu looked at his sister and then at his mother. He asked in surprise, “Mom, have you thought about it? Are you going to buy a house?”
Wang Yunmei seemed to have made up her mind. “Yes, I’ll take a look at houses in the afternoon!”
At noon, Jian Ai borrowed Jian Yu’s bankbook and went to the bank with the two million yuan check. The bank employee was naturally frightened by a fourteen-year-old girl with a two million yuan check. However, after calling Li Qiang to confirm the check’s authenticity, there were no more setbacks. The money was successfully transferred to Jian Yu’s bankbook.
After returning home and hiding the bankbook, Jian Ai slept again. At two in the afternoon, the alarm clock woke her up. After washing up, she went out to look at houses with her mother and brother.
“Mom, which district do you want to buy a house in?” Jian Ai asked on the way.
Ever since Wang Yunmei made up her mind to buy a house in the morning, she hadn’t been able to sleep since she went back. She was both very agitated and excited. She thought about many things, including which district to buy a house in.
“Haicheng District!”
Since she had decided to buy a house, she would buy one in the most prosperous district.
Hearing her mother’s words, Jian Ai could not help but smile. Haicheng District was the largest district in Baiyun City. It had a developed economy and was very prosperous. It was because of this that the room for appreciation in the future was naturally the greatest.
Jian Yu pulled Jian Ai to the side and asked in a low voice, “I think what you said this morning made sense. But isn’t it too risky to buy a house in Haicheng District? It is so expensive.”
“Brother, we’re buying it because it’s expensive. If you don’t buy it now, it’ll only be more expensive in the future! Do you want us to not be able to afford it when it’s more expensive, or do you want it to be more expensive when it’s already ours? Although Mom’s annual salary is three hundred thousand yuan, that Young Master Ji’s personality is gloomy and unpredictable. Mom may be laid off any day. However, the house is a fixed asset that will appreciate in the future. In addition to the demolition fee and the future relocation house, our family will not have to worry about money in the future.”
Jian Yu could only understand half of his sister’s words. He was a slow person, to begin with, so he could only nod. “Since Mom said so, you should be right.”
Looking at her brother’s looks, Jian Ai couldn’t help but chuckle. “My silly brother, I wonder which girl has taken a liking to you.”
Jian Yu was so scared that he quickly tugged on Jian Ai’s clothes and lowered his voice with a vigilant look. “Don’t tell Mom about this, or I won’t dote on you anymore.”
Jian Ai smiled and said, “I know. I’m not that gossipy!”
