Chapter 1076: Going to the Capital with You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Shen paused for a moment, his eyes narrowing as he explained, "This all started because my friend got burned—he didn’t understand the market. Old houses and courtyard houses are practically unsellable right now. What he’s thinking now is to offload them at a loss, just to get some cash flow back. It’s better than holding onto them indefinitely."

Gu Zi thought it over, her brow furrowing. "Selling at a loss seems like such a bad idea. Why not hold onto them for a bit longer? Wait and see how things turn out?"

Su Shen shook his head. "That’s what I suggested, too. The properties are in prime locations in the capital, and while things are tough now, it doesn’t mean there won’t be a turnaround. But my friend wants to focus his efforts on another project, and he doesn’t want to keep investing in this one."

Gu Zi, ever the strategist, had an idea. She spoke quickly, "What if we take the whole project off his hands? I still think the capital’s real estate will be valuable in the future. No matter how things look now, the government is bound to prioritize development there. We could hold onto those houses, rent them out for now, and see how the market shifts before making any final decisions."

She was already regretting not having a way to get in on the courtyard houses herself, especially now that Su Shen had practically brought them to her doorstep. She had been planning to find a way to buy a few units herself, but here Su Shen was, handing her an opportunity. She couldn’t let it slip away—but how could she explain that she knew, beyond any doubt, that these properties would skyrocket in value in the future?

Su Shen was silent for a beat, sensing her determination. He asked, "Why do you want to take this project on?"

Gu Zi had prepared her response. She wasn’t about to admit she came from a future where these houses would be worth fortunes. Instead, she said, "I just think properties with local character, like these courtyard houses, are valuable. And with their location in the capital, I’m sure they’ll be in high demand soon. Su Shen, what if we use the money from this account to take over the project?"

Su Shen looked at her thoughtfully. She wasn’t the type to spend money carelessly, and he could see that she genuinely wanted this.

After a moment of consideration, he replied, "Okay, we’ll take the whole project. You keep the passbook safe. I’ve got the funds for it, don’t worry. And... was there something else you wanted to talk about?"

Gu Zi felt a surge of admiration for him. Was he really willing to invest in a project that seemed so risky? How much money did he have, if he could so casually give her a passbook with substantial funds?

More than that, though, she felt touched by his trust in her. He believed in her enough to take this leap.

She hesitated for a moment, feeling a pang of guilt. He had already given her so much, but she still wanted to pursue her dream of attending university in the capital.

It felt selfish. But she had to ask, "Su Shen, I’m planning to go to university in the capital, but Lele is still so young. Do you think we should find someone reliable to look after her?"

At that moment, their three children returned, gathering around them. They had known for a while that their mother was planning to leave for university in the capital, though none of them had mentioned it until now. They didn’t want to face the reality of being apart from her, but they also understood how important this was for her future.

Su Li looked up at Gu Zi, his eyes serious. "Mom, if you go to school, I’ll stay with you. I can take care of you while you’re there, and when you graduate, I’ll come back to school."

Su Bing, ever the practical one, added, "Mom, I can go with you too. I can cook for you. Don’t worry, I won’t fall behind on my studies."

Lele, who had been quietly clinging to Gu Zi, chimed in with a pout, "Mom, Lele wants to go too! I’ll be good. I’ll take care of myself, and Big Brother can look after me. We can go to the capital together, okay?"

Su Shen watched this exchange, his heart softening. He smiled gently at Gu Zi and said, "Don’t worry about it. I’ve already made arrangements. We’re all going to the capital together. The house is sorted, and the kids’ schools are taken care of. I also want to explore the business scene there."

Gu Zi was taken aback. This wasn’t just about her future—Su Shen was also preparing to start anew, just to be with her. It wasn’t just her future that mattered to him; it was their future, together.

Su Li, hearing the news, couldn’t contain his excitement. He jumped up, grinning ear to ear. "So, we don’t have to be apart? This is the best!"

Without wasting a second, he ran off to tell Gao Ming the good news. However, when Gao Ming heard it, his mood seemed to change. "Su Li, does this mean I won’t be able to go to school with you anymore?"
