520 Picking up garbage and marrying into a wealthy family

"The maintenance and overhaul are done. I wonder when Nian Nian and Mr. Gu will finish it..."

The team was quick and precise, doing their job well. Because they had to wait for the homeowner Xiang Huanian to come and inspect the work, they stood in the room in an orderly manner, like standing guard, and looked at each other with Lin Yunchu and the others.

Facing Lin's father and mother: "...Haha, the young men are all very energetic..."

"Haha, thank you uncle and aunt for the compliments..."

"..."

Lin Yunchu asked Gu Shaoyu the question when they were having an awkward conversation.

Facing this situation, Gu Shaoyu was not used to such occasions. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, walked to the door, and gestured to make a call:

"I'll call my brother and ask him where they are."

"Okay, ask."

"Beep beep..."

After dialing the phone, Gu Shaoyu always felt that the waiting time seemed to be slower than any previous call, and the response was slower.

"Is the signal in this stairwell bad? I'll remind my little sister to install more Wi-Fi..."

Gu Shaoyu looked around, muttering to himself, his mind wandering. At this moment, the call was finally connected.

"Hey."

Gu Lingyan's calm tone came from the phone, but for some reason, Gu Shaoyu reflexively shrank his neck. The passionate voice that he wanted to shout "Brother" in the first moment the call was connected was cut off and remained in Gu Shaoyu's mouth.

"say."

From an objective point of view, Gu Shaoyu's pause was probably only one second, but Gu Lingyan, who couldn't hear Gu Shaoyu's reply, was impatient and urged him.

"...Hey, brother, um, when are you guys coming back? The house has been repaired, and I'm waiting for my sister to come back and inspect it..."

Gu Shaoyu's tone was as cautious as it could be. He even bent over unconsciously.

"We're coming back now."

After hearing this voice from the phone, Gu Shaoyu was decisively hung up by Gu Lingyan.

Gu Shaoyu listened to the relentless beeping sound coming from his phone, at a loss:

"Did I disturb him again?"

This is the phone.

A few seconds ago, Gu Lingyan was still enjoying the tenderness with Xiang Huanian, thinking about whether he should hug him tighter to comfort Xiang Huanian's emotions. As a result, he was interrupted by a phone call from Gu Shaoyu.

Before the phone vibrated, Xiang Huanian was still snuggling in Gu Lingyan's arms, but when the phone rang, Xiang Huanian seemed to be startled by something. He wiped his face in a panic and broke free from Gu Lingyan's arms.

After hurriedly leaving a message "Mr. Gu, your phone number", she walked to the side, took out a small mirror from her small handbag, straightened the corner of her clothes, pressed the red corners of her eyes, and tried to make the traces of crying disappear.

“This is the nth time…”

Gu Lingyan sighed softly, but still took out his cell phone and answered the call.

Under such circumstances, Gu Lingyan naturally had no good words for Gu Shaoyu, the "culprit" whose call interrupted his "critical moment".

After spending more than ten seconds to hang up Gu Shaoyu's phone, Gu Lingyan walked to Xiang Huanian's side and said helplessly:

"Let's go back. Your house has been maintained. I'll check it again when you get back. Let's go."

Very naturally, Gu Lingyan took Xiang Huanian's hand and led her towards the car.

Your house...

What a wonderful name...

Xiang Huanian, who was so elated by Gu Lingyan's address, subconsciously ignored the fact that Gu Lingyan was holding his hand. He just mechanically followed Gu Lingyan's gentle strength and walked forward slowly.

Your house... hey hey... my house...

Whenever Xiang Huanian thought about buying a house, he would unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth, his cheekbones would rise, and he would be happy for himself from the bottom of his heart.

It is an indescribable joy that surges up from the depths of my heart.

But to be honest, Xiang Huanian still didn't feel any sense of reality about the fact that he bought the house.

Although Xiang Huanian was frightened when he saw the amount of money disappearing rapidly from his bank card when he paid the full amount just now, it was just a string of numbers disappearing.

In today's world, paper cash transactions are disappearing in most areas.

People are becoming less and less aware of the reality of money, the weight of paper, the ritual of transactions...

For most people, deposits are just a string of emotionless numbers lying in their bank accounts.

Moreover, the convenience of transactions has caused people to gradually lose their keen sense of the weight of money in the process of spending money.

Then, money is spent like water, and at the end of the month, there is nothing in the account.

Therefore, even before, when Xiang Huanian saw the seven-digit deposit in his bank account, he didn't feel anything real. He just felt that he had become rich and would not have to worry about food and clothing. He would not have to be so stingy and penny-pinching when buying anime peripherals.

So, just now, when I spent the money, it didn't feel real at all.

To exaggerate a bit, the long string of numbers in Xiang Huanian's account was not even as real as the little bit of royalties she received on New Year's Eve.

“…No wonder rich people spend money on luxury goods without blinking an eye or feeling any pain…”

Finally, Xiang Huanian came to a conclusion.

"what?"

Just then, a convertible sports car, unaware of the winter cold, sped past in front of them. The noisy and piercing sound of the exhaust drowned out Xiang Huanian's murmurs. Gu Lingyan, who didn't hear clearly what Xiang Huanian was saying, turned around, bent down, leaned close to Xiang Huanian's ear, and asked.

"...It's nothing. Let's go back quickly, Mr. Gu. Don't keep Uncle, Aunt Yunchu, Sister Yunchu, and the maintenance team waiting for too long."

"Okay, let's go back."

Gu Lingyan, whose heart was touched by the word "we", chuckled with satisfaction, took Xiang Huanian's hand, and slightly followed Xiang Huanian's pace, quickening his pace.

Only then did Xiang Huanian realize that he had been led by the other party without realizing it.

"Mr. Gu!"

Xiang Huanian's accusation was filled with the coquettishness typical of a girl of her age, which made Gu Lingyan's heart soften again. Regardless of Xiang Huanian's slight struggle, he smiled firmly, tightened the grip of Rouyi in his hand, and walked with Xiang Huanian into the bright sunshine.

Gu Shaoyu who was not present: "..." What about me?

"Please sign here if you have confirmed."

With the help of everyone, Xiang Huanian learned the key points, confirmed every corner of the house, and then signed his name on the confirmation document provided by the other party.
