Chapter 497: In the Future, All the Money in This House Will Be His

Fu Mingxue knew nothing of this.

She noticed the car wasn’t heading toward the research institute.

Her heart sank.

’Was I tricked?’

’Is this man’s ID fake?’

"Weren’t we supposed to go to the research institute? This isn’t the right way."

"Mr. Fu, we’re going to the base. It’s about a three-and-a-half-hour drive from here. There’s a problem with the engine, and they need you to go take care of it in person."

When Fu Mingxue heard this, she grew anxious.

"What’s wrong with it?"

"I don’t know the specifics. I just know that my superior told me to come and get you."

At that, Fu Mingxue stopped asking questions.

She wanted to point out that he hadn’t been clear. A trip to the base meant a seven-hour round trip.

That meant she’d be at the base for a long time as well.

If he had just told her beforehand, she could have let her family know she might not be home tonight.

Besides, she had to make arrangements at the school. If she couldn’t be there, she needed to give them advance notice.

That way, they could find another teacher to cover her classes.

’Oh well, I guess I can just call after I get to the base,’ she thought.

After all, the work at the research base was more important.

Although Mrs. Gao had visited this courtyard just yesterday, upon returning, she couldn’t help but marvel internally at how nice the house was—though the one at the Qin Family Mansion was even better.

’Still, not having to live with one’s in-laws is a true blessing for a daughter-in-law!’

’What’s more, the family estate is usually passed down to the eldest son.’

’A house as large as the Qin Family Mansion should have gone to my son-in-law anyway.’

’Moving out now—doesn’t that just mean they get an extra house?’

’And when his parents get too old to manage on their own, won’t her son-in-law and daughter have to move back there anyway?’

’Then this house will be left for her grandson.’

Qin Wenze, of course, had no idea his mother-in-law was already planning the house’s future ownership.

He said to Mrs. Gao, "Mom, why don’t you get settled? I’m going to go buy some more meat and vegetables."

"Alright. You go today. Starting tomorrow, you can leave things like this to me." ’That way, I can save a little from the grocery money.’

’Her daughter was really lucky.’

’She’d definitely married into the right family with the Qins.’

Qin Wenze glanced at her. "...Alright!"

With that, he headed out.

The moment he was gone, Mrs. Gao shut the main gate.

She turned to her grandson, who was watching television, and asked, "Yao Hui, do you like it here?"

Gao Yaohui nodded quickly. "I do! Grandma, I love it here. Am I really going to live here from now on?"

Mrs. Gao confirmed, "That’s right, you’ll be living here from now on. So, you have to be a good boy. Otherwise, they won’t let you stay."

"Don’t worry, Grandma. I promise I’ll be good."

Gao Yaohui loved this home.

Not only was the house bigger than the one he lived in, but he also got his very own room.

Best of all—this house had a television.

And lots of delicious food.

He’d even heard they could eat meat every day!

"From now on, you’re to call your aunt ’Mom’ and your uncle ’Dad,’ you hear? As long as you stay in this house, you’ll live a life of endless comfort."

"Don’t worry, Grandma, I know." His parents had already told him all about it over the past few days.

He hadn’t remembered or completely understood a lot of it, but he knew he was going to be his aunt and uncle’s child from now on.

’Anyway, as long as there was food, clothes, and a TV, he’d call anyone Mom and Dad.’

’From now on, this was his home.’

’His own parents weren’t going anywhere. If he missed them, he could just go back and stay for a few days, right?’

’His parents had said so themselves—his uncle’s family had more money than they could spend.’

’If he was a good boy, all his uncle’s money would become his money.’
