Chapter 1211 In her past life, she was stuck in a rut.
"Uh..." Even though her mother couldn't see, Su Xing subconsciously raised her hand and touched her nose. "Yeah..."
It seems that her grandparents told her parents about this.
She had already anticipated that they would tell her parents, and at this moment she felt inexplicably guilty, afraid that her mother would scold her for accepting such an expensive gift.
Sure enough, Zhou Liyun's voice on the other end of the phone was serious, "I heard from your grandparents that the car is worth several million?"
"Hmm... more than three million..."
"How could you accept such an expensive car?!"
Su Xing said, "He Xu ordered the car in advance and gave it to me for my birthday. By then, the car couldn't be returned, and it would be too high-profile for him to drive it, so I couldn't refuse it..."
Zhou Liyun muttered, "That Xiao He, really..."
Su Shaohui's voice came from the side, "Hmph! I think that kid has no good intentions! Giving such expensive things, he must want more in return. He's trying to tie Xiaoxing down!"
Zhou Liyun rolled her eyes at her husband, "Alright, alright, what do you mean by 'having ill intentions'? You're the one who said that..."
Su Shaohui protested, "What I said is the truth!"
Su Xing on the other end of the phone: "..."
Zhou Liyun ignored her husband and asked her daughter, "The birthday present he gave you? Your birthday was half a year ago! And this car, why haven't you mentioned it yet?!"
Su Xing's voice grew weaker and weaker, "...I was busy and forgot, and you and Dad are busy too."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhou Liyun naturally didn't believe her daughter's lies. "I think you've grown too big for your britches! You don't tell me or your dad anything anymore!"
"No, no!" Su Xing said sweetly, "Mom, I will always be your and Dad's good daughter!"
Zhou Liyun scoffed, "Give me a break!"
Su Shaohui leaned closer to the microphone and yelled, "Can't we return that piece of junk to him? If you want a car, Dad will buy you one!"
Su Xing: "...Can't get a refund!"
Zhou Liyun nudged her husband with her elbow, "Stop giving me such bad advice! You've already taken in your daughter, and now you're going to back out? How are the two kids supposed to get along?"
Su Shaohui muttered to himself, "I really have to date him..."
"Get out of my way!"
When they heard that their daughter had received such an expensive gift, they were surprised, but they couldn't possibly stop the two children from dating because of this.
The young couple has been together for so long and their relationship is stable. As their parents, we can sometimes offer suggestions, but we shouldn't interfere too much.
"You accepted such an expensive car from Xiao He, how are you going to reciprocate?" Zhou Liyun sighed to her daughter.
Su Xing said, "I've treated him well too. I've bought him quite a few gifts, although their value can't compare to this car. But when two people are together, it doesn't have to be a give-and-take exchange of gifts of equal value, right? Isn't the sentiment the most important thing?"
Moreover, the gifts she gave him were all very thoughtful; she never gave anything half-heartedly.
"Alright, as long as you know what's going on." Zhou Liyun then asked her daughter, "I heard that Xiao He bought a new house? It's quite expensive?"
Su Xing said, "Yes, I bought a larger one. It's located near the Summer Palace, which is convenient."
She quickly explained, "Don't overthink it, it's not the wedding room!"
“I know, I heard it from your grandparents.” Zhou Liyun thought for a moment, then asked, “The He family…have always been very good to you?”
“It’s really good,” Su Xing said. “I went to the He family’s house for a family dinner on New Year’s Day. His parents weren’t there, but his grandparents were very kind to me, and his uncle and aunt were also very nice to me.”
Zhou Liyun suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about buying a house in Beijing?"
"Huh?" Su Xing was taken aback.
Zhou Liyun continued, "Think about it. If you like a particular location or a particular neighborhood, go and take a look."
Su Xing asked in surprise, "Mom, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
She had actually considered buying a house, but houses in Beijing are not cheap, especially in good locations and good neighborhoods, which are priced exorbitantly.
She made a lot of money, but she spent it all as soon as she had any. The expenses of her studio, investments in food factories, donations, and sponsorships were all spent like water flowing out of her pocket.
So buying a house has never been on the agenda.
Not long ago, the proceeds from the auction of that Ming Hongwu underglaze red plate arrived in her account, and her wallet swelled up again.
Once she finishes repairing the ancient book and sells it, she plans to buy herself a property.
I didn't expect my mother to bring it up first.
Zhou Liyun said, "Your grandparents called and discussed it with us. We'll pool our money to buy you a house, which will be your premarital property. If you marry Xiao He and settle in Beijing, the house will be your premarital property and your financial security. If you two don't end up together, you can live in the house yourself or rent it out. No matter who you marry, the house will be your dowry. If you don't settle in Beijing, that's fine too; consider the house an investment."
Upon hearing her mother's words, Su Xing's nose suddenly felt a little sore. "Mom... I'm still so young, why are you talking about dowry..."
Zhou Liyun said, "Of course we don't want you to enter married life too early, but we're not afraid to prepare your dowry in advance."
Su Shaohui leaned closer and said, "Daughter, choose a house you like, and you can live there by yourself. It's okay if you don't get married!"
Zhou Liyun smacked her husband's arm again, "Shut up!"
If you tell your child now that "it's okay not to get married," he'll be more anxious than anyone else if you tell her you don't want to get married when she gets older!
Su Xing sniffed and said, "You don't need to buy me a house. I can earn money now, I'll buy it myself."
Zhou Liyun said, "Your money is your money. If you have the ability to buy, you can buy another one if you want. You can never have too many houses. Your grandparents and I want to prepare a dowry for you. That's our way of showing our love and what we as parents should do."
"Dad, Mom, thank you, and Grandpa and Grandma... You are all so kind... I love you!" Su Xing really wanted to cry.
When she thought back to her previous life, how could she have felt that she had shallow kinship ties?
At that time, she really lacked communication with her family, and she was also too immature and stuck in a rut...
"Okay, okay, that's a bit cheesy!" Zhou Liyun felt a little uncomfortable from her daughter's sudden confession. She said, "You should keep an eye on properties lately. We'll also look online when we have time. If we find a nice one, we'll send it to you. If you think it's suitable, you can go and take a look. The house we buy for you has to be one you like."
Su Xing said, "Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye on it."
The family of three chatted for a while longer before hanging up.
Su Xing held her phone, her heart filled with a bittersweet, throbbing feeling...
