Song Xinya didn't have to lift a finger for the move; Qin Yuhe had arranged for professionals to come over.
Two women helped Song Xinya pack her things, while two men assisted Song Tingye.
The personal assistant who was always by Qin Yuhe's side stayed with Song Xinya the entire time today, waiting for her orders.
With so many people walking back and forth in the already small two-bedroom apartment, Song Xinya and Song Tingye became the two most idle people there.
The three-legged chair was definitely out. The old, chipped table wasn't worth keeping. And there was no pity in throwing away the broken fan that wheezed like a dying old man whenever turned on.
Song Tingye walked into the kitchen. Take this dishwasher. I just bought it on the secondhand market this year, it's practically new.
The assistant smiled faintly. Mr. Qin is a germaphobe. He won't use things that others have used.
The furniture in the Forbidden City Mansion has everything you need. It's all the latest and most fashionable designs. The graphene dining table in the living room has a smart heating function, so the food placed on it will never get cold.
Miss Song, Mr. Song, the Forbidden City Mansion is fully equipped. You just need to bring yourselves.
As a result, Song Xinya and Song Tingye had very little to bring. Soon, all their luggage was packed.
The assistant asked, Miss Song, what is the landlord's phone number? I will contact the landlord to help you terminate the lease.
Song Xinya and Song Tingye's expressions both changed.
Song Tingye whispered, If we terminate the lease on this apartment, if Youyou comes back one day, she won't be able to find us.
Song Xinya understood Song Tingye's thoughts and said to the assistant, This apartment has a special meaning to us. We will not terminate the lease.
Who is Youyou?
The name sounded like a girl's.
The assistant had doubts in his heart, but since neither Song Tingye nor Song Xinya explained, it naturally wasn't his place to pry into his employers' affairs.
But there was one thing he could tell: Song Xinya and Song Tingye cared deeply about this person named Youyou.
Song Xinya went downstairs and saw the familiar black Rolls-Royce.
The assistant said, Miss Song, Mr. Qin left in another car today and specifically left this car for your use.
Song Xinya and Song Tingye sat in the back seat. The car drove out of the community gate and headed straight for the most bustling area of Jingbei City.
Song Xinya looked out the window. In the rearview mirror, the old residential building grew further and smaller, shrinking into a tiny dot until it completely disappeared.
The Rolls-Royce parked in front of a detached villa built by the water.
The modern-style villa had simple and crisp lines. Large glass curtain walls brought the sunset glow and distant mountains into the rooms. The white exterior walls reflected the rippling lake, the sparkling water looking like a fallen galaxy.
Song Tingye exclaimed, Sis, this house my brother-in-law gave you is even grander than the one our scumbag father lives in.
That Old White Lotus our scumbag father married, and the Little White Lotus she brought along, those two have never lived in such a nice house in their entire lives.
Song Tingye picked up his phone and took a picture of the villa. Housewarming joy! On such a great day, I have to post this on my WeChat Moments. That's right, I'm a country bumpkin, I just love to show off, and I especially enjoy the feeling of others envying me.
Though he claimed to be showing off the luxurious villa, in the nine-photo grid, eight were close-up handsome selfies of himself.
The caption read: I don't want to work hard anymore in this life, because not only do I have a great sister, but I also have a super rich brother-in-law who casually gifts a luxury villa.
In parentheses, like and comment to win a stainless steel basin.
Song Tingye had Li Cuirou and Zhang Yingying added on WeChat. Soon after his post went live, Li Cuirou called Song Xinya's phone.
At this moment, Song Xinya was sitting on the sofa in the living room. When the call connected, a servant happened to walk over and asked respectfully, Madam, what would you like to eat for lunch today?
Li Cuirou's sharp voice came through: Song Xinya, you actually got married!
Song Xinya smiled calmly. Haven't you always wanted me to get married? I'm married now, why are you unhappy instead?
What else could it be? It was because she had married too well.
She wanted to exploit her marriage for benefits, yet feared she would live too well.
Li Cuirou asked, Who did you marry?
Song Xinya replied, My blind date from the other day.
Li Cuirou muttered in her heart: Was the luxury villa Song Tingye posted on his Moments gifted by that fifty-year-old divorced man with two kids?
That luxury villa was in the most expensive real estate development in Jingbei City, costing over a hundred million per unit.
Li Cuirou and Zhang Yingying particularly loved the villas in that area and dreamed of owning one, but the mother and daughter couldn't afford it.
Li Cuirou had once hinted to Father Song, Song Xuanli, to buy one for them, but upon hearing it, Song Xuanli scolded her for being a spendthrift.
She never expected that Song Xinya would be the first to live in the grand villa that the mother and daughter had longed for.
That old man was truly too generous, casually gifting it to Song Xinya right off the bat.
Li Cuirou's heart was like sour shredded potatoes, filled with jealousy.
Zhang Yingying was also incredibly envious.
Li Cuirou spoke up, Yaya, since you've already married that divorced old man and he treats you so well, you should settle down and live a good life with him. After all, for a huge girl like you weighing two hundred pounds, it's rare enough for any man to be willing to marry you, let alone treat you so well. You're really lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
Zhang Yingying leaned over and said, Song Xinya, your marriage is such a great deal, buy one get two free! Becoming a stepmother to two kids as soon as you marry. I kept forgetting to ask you, how does it feel to be someone's stepmother?
Song Xinya said with a calm expression, Fly Yingying, you should ask your mother this question the most. Have you forgotten that as soon as your mother married into the Song family, she became a stepmother to my brother and me? She's an old professional at being a stepmother.
Zhang Yingying suddenly realized she had asked the wrong question.
Li Cuirou's face also turned ugly.
Li Cuirou waved her hand and pushed Zhang Yingying to the side. Alright, go sit on the side and stop talking.
Li Cuirou continued, Yaya, since you've already married that old businessman partner, then my business deal will definitely go through, right?
Song Xinya curled her lips into a mocking sneer and said, If not for the monk's sake, then for the Buddha's. Go ahead and find that partner, this business deal will definitely succeed.
Hanging up the phone, Li Cuirou couldn't wait to call that business partner. As soon as she opened her mouth, she enthusiastically and flatteringly called him, In-law.
The other party passionately replied, Are you crazy?
Li Cuirou was stunned. Why are you cursing at me?
The other party: Who is your in-law?
Li Cuirou: Didn't Song Xinya marry you?
The other party: You must be dreaming.
Li Cuirou: That day I introduced Song Xinya to go on a blind date with you, didn't you see her?
Mentioning the blind date made the other party even more furious: I was stood up by Song Xinya that day. I didn't see her at all.
And Song Xinya sent me a message that day saying you arranged two blind dates for her at the same time. She fancied a young hunk and didn't care for an old geezer like me.
"Li Cuirou, I can't believe you introduced me and some young stud to Song Xinya at the exact same time. This is a blatant insult to me! You are far too scheming. I refuse to do business with someone whose heart is so full of holes. Don't ever contact me again."
It was as if a deafening thunderbolt had struck Li Cuirou right on the forehead.
She called Song Xinya again, wanting to confront her.
A mechanical female voice answered: "Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off. Please try again later."
Zhang Yingying suddenly thought of something. "Mom, Song Xinya said she's already married, and her partner isn't that divorced old man with a kid. Then who is it?"
Li Cuirou: "How should I know?"
Zhang Yingying: "Wasn't that young stud she married the one you introduced to her?"
Li Cuirou: "It wasn't me. I didn't introduce them."
Thinking about how Song Xinya's new husband was a handsome young man who casually gifted her a luxury villa, Zhang Yingying felt even more envious.
Thinking about how Song Xinya, a two-hundred-pound fatty, could actually meet such a great husband, Zhang Yingying was filled with bitter resentment.
"I am much prettier than Song Xinya, that Miss Piggy."
Li Cuirou: "That's exactly why you need to have more confidence. If a big fatty like Song Xinya can meet a good man, you will definitely be able to marry Qin Yuhe, the crown prince of the capital circle, and become Mrs. Qin."
Zhang Yingying: "Mom, you're right. While Qin Yuhe is still unmarried, I need to work much harder."
