Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2243: Chapter 2179: You Don’t Have Any Money Left

Although the house is quite old, it’s tidied up nicely.

Anyway, it’s just a rental, and when Chiang Xiao saw it was decent enough, she thought it would do.

She didn’t have any impression of this place from her past life because she hadn’t paid attention to it before. But, no matter what, holding onto a property in this area is bound to appreciate over time, and there’s considerable potential for growth.

However, the owner insisted on not selling, and Chiang Xiao didn’t insist on figuring out a way to buy it.

It’s better not to be too greedy, thinking of every house as an opportunity. It’s necessary to leave some for others.

So she just rented the place, and the landlord wanted to rent it for six years, asking for three years’ rent upfront. Without a word, Chiang Xiao agreed.

Once the paperwork was completed, she shared her renovation ideas with Chen Yin and gave him a sketch. The place was handed over to him for renovation.

Chen Yin offered her a super low discount, practically working for free, but in exchange, he received a very approving smile from Wang Yi, which made him happy.

When she returned, Ah Liu informed her that Tyrant Meng had called and asked her to return his call when she got back.

Chiang Xiao stuck out her tongue.

She seemed to have been so busy the past couple of days that she didn’t have time to call Tyrant Meng.

When the call connected, Meng Xinian’s voice came through, calm and steady.

”Just got home?”

The calmer his tone, the more it indicated that this man was a bit displeased inside.

Chiang Xiao showed a slightly innocent smile, but quickly realized he couldn’t see it, so she immediately put away the smile and said softly, ”I was just with Chen Yin and Wang Yi, went to see the house, very satisfied with it, rented it, planning to turn it into a tea processing workshop, rented for six years, prepaid three years’ rent, eighteen hundred a year...”

Meng Xinian listened to her words, feeling a bit speechless.

This girl is feeling a bit guilty now, reporting every detail to show she’s being good and doing serious work, not fooling around. But knowing her well, she’ll soon think, wait, why should I feel guilty?

Then her tone changed again.

Sure enough, just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard Chiang Xiao say, ”Hey, Brother Xinian, you also just called today, didn’t you?”

Look, look.

Immediately turning around to hold him accountable.

With a hint of helplessness, Meng Xinian rubbed his forehead and smiled, ”Kitten, did I say anything to you?”

”You didn’t say, but your tone just now was a bit unhappy,” Chiang Xiao pouted, ”Isn’t that trying to blame me for not calling you these past two days?”

Does he know how busy she’s been these past two days?

Besides, he didn’t call either, yet dares to show displeasure.

Meng Xinian paused.

Can’t he even have a slight melancholy?

”I had a training task right after returning, took the team out, and there were new members joining, so I didn’t have time to call.”

”Well, I was also very busy. By the way, Brother Kuang came over and said he wanted to sell the Kong Family’s house and shop, so I met with him, and I bought the house and shop.”

Buying property again? Kong Family’s?

”Do you have enough money?” Meng Xinian immediately stood up straight, tense. ”How much in total?”

Chiang Xiao deliberately teased him, ”If the money is not enough, what can you do about it? You’re out of money.”

He had given all his money to her before, and later pooled funds to buy this courtyard house. If he had money now, it would be strange.

Black lines appeared on Meng Xinian’s forehead.
