Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Just Let Nature Take Its Course

Zhu Qianying didn’t dare to delve into the details, even though she knew that Bai Shao had parted ways with Zong Zhe peacefully back then, she still believed that Zong Zhe had deeply hurt her friend.

It would be better not to share any news about Zong Zhe, good or bad, with her.

Or perhaps, it would be better to wait until she was more settled before telling her.

Having made up her mind, Zhu Qianying started actively helping her friend look for a house.

After comparing online, she found that the apartments under the Yanhuang Group, whether for purchase or rent, were more advantageous in both location and price.

After chatting with Bai Shao on QQ, they both set their eyes on several different-sized, different-facing apartments near the private restaurant. The common feature of these apartments was that they were all properties under the Yanhuang Group.

The next morning, Zhu Qianying called Qin Xiu, explained the situation, and made an appointment to see the apartments together in the afternoon.

Zhu Qianying thought that Bai Shao would only bring Bai Lu to see the house.

Little did she know, that Bai Shao brought Bai Lu and came to the private restaurant accompanied by her adoptive father, Bai Xiangdong, the following afternoon.

What shocked Zhu Qianying even more was that when she and Bai Shao introduced each other’s parents, and after their respective names were mentioned, Bai Xiangdong asked Chen Jing surprisingly.

"Are you the little Jing from Chengnan East Village?"

Chen Jing also stared at Bai Xiangdong for a while before hesitatingly asked, "Are you the Dong-ge who had a big locust tree in your courtyard?"

Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao looked at each other in surprise, could it be that these two knew each other before?

As it turned out, like underground party members exchanging secret codes, Chen Jing and Bai Xiangdong mentioned several incidents from their childhood and finally confirmed that the other was the childhood playmate they hadn’t seen in three or four decades. They then chatted excitedly.

They put their daughters and grandchildren on the back burner.

Fortunately, this happened during lunch break when Chen Jing usually took a nap at the office.

Now, she was extremely excited. She enthusiastically discussed the old days with Bai Xiangdong. Zhu Qianying had never seen her mother this animated.

Bai Xiangdong was clearly ecstatic about the unexpected reunion. They chatted enthusiastically until Qin Xiu and the property management manager arrived at the restaurant on time to see the house when they were still deep in conversation.

"Xiao Shao, you and Ying Zi take the kids to see the house. If you are satisfied with it, I have no objections!"

Bai Xiangdong waved at the young people, signaling them to leave quickly and not interrupt his chat with Chen Jing.

"Yes, Xiao Shao, you guys go take a look. I haven’t seen your dad in decades, we want to catch up."

Zhu Qianying was dumbfounded by these unexpected events that had unfolded right before her eyes. How could they involve her mother?

After exchanging glances with Bai Shao, they both got up and left.

Baby boy and Bai Lu were still fussing loudly about something. Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao largely ignored the two little troublemakers’ disputes.

Anyway, no sooner had the mothers settled the differences between them, than a new wave of disputes would arise again within a minute.

From whether Batman or Spiderman is stronger, to whether or not there are aliens on earth, the two kids quarreled incessantly. In the end, even Qin Xiu got used to the kids’ disputes, going from initially trying to explain and mediate patiently to finally becoming completely immune.

He couldn’t help but admire their equally strong fighting spirit and their abundant energy.

The houses they were interested in were not far from each other, all located on the same street as the private restaurant. Two of them were two-bedroom, two-living room apartments, and two were larger, being three-bedroom, two-living room apartments. Based on the layout, Bai Shao preferred the larger two.

Since Bai Xiangdong did not go to the site to see the house, Bai Shao took some photos to show him later.

After quickly looking at the photos, Bai Xiangdong asked Bai Lu, "Xiaolu, which one do you like?"

Bai Lu had been quarreling with the baby boy all afternoon and was tired. At this moment he was drinking juice through a straw sitting next to baby boy.

Upon hearing Bai Xiangdong’s question, he quickly replied:

"Grandfather, I like the biggest one, so I can have a room of my own."

Bai Shao initially thought that it would be enough to rent a two-bedroom, two-living room apartment. Of course, the biggest one looked more comfortable, but the rent was much higher.

She had just returned to the country and hadn’t even figured out her job situation, how could she just spend money wildly?

Just when she wanted to gently dissuade her daughter, Bai Xiangdong said to Qin Xiu, "Well, let’s go with the biggest one as the little girl said! I can pay for the house in one lump sum. When can we move in?"

Not only was Bai Shao startled at this, Zhu Qianying was also shocked.

"Dad, don’t be ridiculous! That house costs over four million!" Bai Shao couldn’t care less about others being present and started pulling on Bai Xiangdong’s arm as she said this.

"I’m not playing around. The compensation for the demolition of the old house has been distributed a while ago. Ying Zi told me that you were coming back, so I planned to buy another house and thought we would choose it together when you return. Now that Xiaolu likes that one, let’s go with that one. It will also be more convenient for both of our families to visit each other."

Zhu Qianying and Bai Shao quickly caught onto several key points in Bai Xiangdong’s words.

Buying this house served three purposes. One, it was needed anyway. Two, Xiaolu liked it, and three, it was convenient for the Chen Jing and her daughter to visit.

As to which of the three. points was most important, only Bai Xiangdong would know.

The property manager couldn’t help but show a delighted expression. He initially thought it was a rental, but now they were buying, and it was the biggest one too.

"Mr. Bai, I can immediately have the house cleaned up, and you can move in first thing tomorrow morning!"

These houses all come with furnishings, so they could move in as soon as their bags were packed.

Qin Xiu had already learned from Mr. Yan that Bai Shao was Zhu Qianying’s best friend, so he gave the property manager a good price on the spot.

Calculating like this, Bai Xiangdong actually saved some money.

The shrewd Bai Xiangdong quickly signed the contract of sale, and transferred the money for the house to the property company’s account online.

Bai Shao whispered to Zhu Qianying, "Ying Zi, I just found out today that my dad is such a big spender!"

Zhu Qianying laughed and slapped her head, "Uncle Dong is not as stingy as you think. As long as Xiaolu likes it, he would buy the house immediately."

Bai Shao winked at her, "Ying Zi, don’t tell me you didn’t think of it? "

Zhu Qianying played dumb, "Think of what?"

Bai Shao teased her, "Really, didn’t think of it?"

"I am such a pure person, I don’t have as many complex thoughts as you do!"

In Zhu Qianying’s view, some things are better left to take their natural course.
