Wancheng Huafu can be regarded as one of the highest-end communities in Beijing. The surrounding primary schools, middle schools, and universities are all well-known schools. It takes 12 minutes to drive to Peking University on the north side, and 20 minutes to Tsinghua University. On the east side is the National People's Congress, and below is the Beijing Institute of Technology. Outside Beijing, you can overlook the Kunyu River from the upper floors of the community.
For most ordinary people, it is impossible to buy such a house in the capital in their lifetime. Although it is cruel, it is a fact.
Shao Le drove to the gate of the community. Bai, the security guard in work clothes, immediately ran forward and leaned down and asked: "Hello, sir, how can I help you?"
The higher-end the community, the higher the service level of the property. Residents living in this community enjoy butler-style services.
"My surname is Shao. My family bought me a property here. I came to take a look."
The security guard immediately smiled and said: "I have received the notice. The property manager is waiting for you at the entrance of the parking lot of Building 8. You can go directly and turn left in front. The second building on the left is there."
"OK, thanks."
"You're welcome."
Shao Le drove into the community, and sure enough, he met a housekeeper in uniform at the entrance of the parking lot. She was a middle-aged woman about forty years old. After confirming Shao Le's identity, she took him and Du Xiangling entered the elevator.
"Is this the first time Mr. Shao has come to see a house?"
"yes."
"Do you need me to introduce you?"
Shao Le smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't bother you anymore. Please take us up. Just give me the key and access card."
"OK."
Wanchenghuafu is a low-rise bungalow, with a total of only five floors. However, there are five households on the first floor, but they are all in one elevator, so there is basically no need to fight for the elevator.
In many high-rise communities, after the owners move in, they need to grab an elevator when going to school or work, but this phenomenon does not exist in this community.
Grandma’s experience in buying a house is quite sophisticated.
The elevator opened and the property manager opened the door with the key, then put the key in the box and handed it to Shao Le.
"Going in from here, the left hand side is our living area. We have divided the living room, terrace, dining room, and kitchen. There is a central kitchen area and a west kitchen area. On the right side, in addition to the cloakroom, there are three bedrooms, and there are two bedrooms. They are all lone guards.”
The property manager led the two of them around the house, added Shao Le on WeChat, closed the door and left.
Shao Le opened the box, which contained keys, water cards, electricity cards, and gas cards. He handed the box directly to Du Xiangling.
Du Xiangling looked confused, not knowing what Shao Le meant.
Shao Le said: "Don't you want me to take care of you? From today on, this house belongs to you."
Du Xiangling's eyes widened and she looked at Shao Le in surprise.
Of course she knew the value of this house. Du Xiangling, who had always talked about his love for money, did not dare to accept the box at this moment.
"What, you don't dare to ask for it?"
Shao Le smiled and said: "I will give you five seconds to think about it. After five seconds, I will regret it. Five, four, three, two..."
When Shao Le was about to count to one, Du Xiangling quickly took the box and said, "I didn't say I didn't want it."
The living room area of this house alone is larger than the upper and lower floors of the apartment where Du Xiangling lives combined. Shao Le sat down on the sofa covered with dustproof cloth, crossed his legs and said, "Believe it or not, I have been there since I was a child. I grew up among women, and there were so many beautiful ones like you around me. When I first met you, I really didn’t feel anything for you. I don’t even know when I started to care about you. , I originally thought it was my misunderstanding, but after that rich second generation appeared, I began to worry about whether he would do anything to you, but don’t think that I have fallen in love with you. I can only be with Lin in this life. Coco is getting married. If you hadn't told me at your place just now, 'You're not interested in love,' I wouldn't have brought you here."
Du Xiangling also sat down, tilted her head and said with a smile: "It seems that I have a good eye for choosing men."
"When you are a mistress, you have to have the consciousness of being a mistress. This house is not given to you for free. Didn't you call me daddy? Then I will treat it as secretly raising a daughter outside. But remember, I will give it to you. It’s yours. I didn’t give it to you, so you can’t snatch it, let alone fight for it. You are very smart and should know what I mean.”
Seeing that Shao Le was serious, Du Xiangling nodded obediently and said: "From now on, I can only be the same as before. I can't show any trace of having a relationship with you in front of Lin Keke, right?"
Shao Le did not answer her question and continued: "The vase is very beautiful just standing there, but as long as it is touched by others, it is just a dirty thing to me, and it has no value in my eyes. So you still have to obey the rules.”
Of course Du Xiangling knew that the vase in Shao Le's mouth was referring to her, but Shao Le had high standards, and so did she. She felt that after today, she might never look down on any boy except Shao Le.
"Then what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything now. If you want to move here, you can at any time, but it's best not to let others know that you live here. They are not fools. They can see that there is a little relationship between us. Are you crazy? The day I jumped into the river, I told you that my family is very rich. I didn't lie to you. My family is indeed very rich. If I go to any first-tier city in the country, there will be a house prepared for me by my grandmother in that city. With just a little money leaking out from under your fingernails, you can live a life without worries about food and clothing. But if you agree in advance, there are only so many material conditions I can give you. The most I can guarantee is that you don’t have to work in the future. Food, shelter, and people's ambitions will become more and more inflated, but you'd better not. Once I can't afford to give you what you want, or I can't give you what you want, I would rather give you this vase. Smashed."
Du Xiangling blinked and looked at Shao Le blankly. She had always felt that she knew him very well, but now she felt a little strange.
"Look what I'm doing? Give me a smile."
Du Xiangling smiled, which was pleasing to the eye.
She put down the box in her hand and asked with a smile: "Is it unruly to lend it to you under the chair?"
Shao Le was stunned for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't count."
Du Xiangling moved her position and rested her head on Shao Le's arms. There was silence in the living room for a while, and then Du Xiangling's voice rang out.
"My mood is very complicated right now. I feel a little happy and a little sad at the same time. What I'm happy about is that one day I can live in such a big house and can lean into your arms and talk to you. But you just said that I When it was a vase, I was a little sad. I was thinking that I like you so much, but in your eyes, am I really just a vase? I don’t believe in love, but I also want to have a little care and attention. , I am not very greedy, after all, every girl will be insecure."
"The cat in the alley has freedom but no home. The dog in the yard has home but no freedom. When people make a choice for something, they have to pay a corresponding price. But I can give you a chance to regret it. If you If you meet the second person you like in the future, you can tell me, and when I let you go, I might even give you this house."
"That's too uneconomical for you. How about I get you something to exchange for?"
"what?"
Du Xiangling grabbed Shao Le's hand and put it inside her sweater. Her red lips moved and she said: "A woman's youth."
