Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 770 - 769: Give Her More Money

The real estate agent was on the phone for quite a while, so Zhen Yan, after drinking his fill of water, began to feel a tad bored. He started to probe his little sister for the reasons she didn’t take a liking to this villa!

"Seriously, little sister, what’s not to like about this house? It’s big, spacious, and even has a garage! What exactly are you dissatisfied with?"

"I’m dissatisfied with everything!" Zhen Yu didn’t fancy sitting idly, so she climbed down the ladder her brother had offered her, explaining all the things she didn’t like, one by one.

"Heh!" Zhen Yan couldn’t help but laugh after hearing all that. "With the way you’re pickin’, I think we’re not buying a villa today! Just look around this neighborhood, how many houses are there, and how many are for sale? If you ask me, having anything to buy is good enough!"

"That’s not necessarily true! It’s not like this is the only villa neighborhood around!"

Having observed attentively all along the way, Han Mingyue was much more optimistic than Zhen Yan! And when it came to Zhen Yu’s tastes, he understood them even better than Zhen Yan! So after countering Zhen Yan, he thought deeply for a moment, then suggested, "Since you like houses with good natural light, I think you should tell the agent directly later that we’ll only look at units facing east! And... ideally, the sunny side shouldn’t have a garage!"

"Ugh!" Zhen Yu sighed! After her brother’s dismissive remarks, she realistically felt that it would be difficult to meet both criteria Han Mingyue had just mentioned. After some thought, she decided to reveal her actual plan.

"In fact, I want to buy two villas in this area together!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan’s jaw nearly hit the floor! He couldn’t help blurting out, "What?! Why buy so many?!"

Han Mingyue was also a bit confused upon hearing it! Then he quickly glanced at Zhen Yan, and realized the reason behind it.

——

As expected! After Zhen Yan blurted out that silly remark, Han Mingyue heard Zhen Yu continue, "Although I’m not fond of this place, if you, Zhen Yan, really aren’t picky, I could consider buying this villa for you."

Zhen Yan: "... I,"

Wait a sec! He needed to pinch his philtrum to recalibrate! And take a good moment to think about how to turn his little sister down...

After a while, after sorting out his thoughts, Zhen Yan resumed speaking.

"Who says I’m not picky! I don’t like this set either!"

All that waiting just for this one sentence! Upon hearing it, Zhen Yu raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical.

Zhen Yan knew his excuse was pretty lame, so he hurriedly continued, "Besides, didn’t the agent say? You can buy both parts of a semi-detached house, then knock through to combine them into one! If you really want two, it would be better to buy two adjacent units directly! Even if you don’t join them together and just let me live in half, it’s better than having neighbors who are complete strangers!"

Zhen Yu tapped her forehead, suddenly feeling her brother’s words might be shaking her resolve.

Her idea was that she feared she might not get along with her brother’s future wife!

Therefore, she didn’t want the two villas she was buying to be next to each other!

After all, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and proximity might breed contempt! Living too close can sometimes even strain a relationship!

But then again... In such a private villa community, living tight beside a stranger wasn’t something she was thrilled about either.

——

While Zhen Yu was wavering, Zhen Yan spoke up again!

"And little sister, I really don’t need you to buy a villa for me!!!" Zhen Yan said this with great emphasis!

Then, after pausing for a moment, he switched to a more relaxed tone and said: "Just go ahead and buy one you like for now! Once I’ve worked hard to save up enough money, in no more than three years, I’ll come and buy one for myself!"

"Three years..." Zhen Yu did a quick mental calculation and then realized that she might indeed have been a bit too anxious.

It’s only the end of 2001 now, and it will be the end of 2004 in three years! In her recollection, it wasn’t until 2005 or 2006 that the housing prices in the Capital started to rise a bit faster! But even then, they hadn’t yet reached the point of being ridiculously inflated!

As long as it doesn’t drag on to the Olympic year! There shouldn’t be any major problems...

"Um, okay then! Looking at the current situation, the internet café’s earnings should maintain status quo before 2005."

"Then it’s settled!" Zhen Yan, fearing his sister might change her mind, hastily added another line!

Then he immediately shifted topics: "And I think, little sister, why don’t you just buy a whole building on your own! I mean, what’s it called, a detached house! Yes, that’s it! You should have enough money, right?! If not, I have another hundred and some thousand here!"

Zhen Yu looked at her brother and suddenly burst into laughter with a "Pfft!"

How did this conversation end up with Zhen Yan wanting to chip in money for her...

---

She had barely laughed for a moment when Han Mingyue, who had been silent during the siblings’ conversation, suddenly chimed in, "If it’s still not enough, I have money as well!"

"Eh?" Zhen Yu suddenly became curious about how much money Han Mingyue was willing to lend her.

She knew he saved all his royalties, but she had never paid much attention to exactly how much money Han Mingyue had made from writing.

It was as if Han Mingyue always knew her internet café was making money, knew she had bought and sold a ranch, knew she and Bai Xue’s family had opened a clothing store together, and even knew precisely that she had sold 30% of her shares in the dairy company...

But he had never inquired about the details and had never asked how much money she actually had.

Following Zhen Yu’s question, Zhen Yan also curiously turned his head to look at Han Mingyue! Then, quite blankly, he asked outright: "How much money can you have?"

After all, in Zhen Yan’s mind, Han Mingyue was nothing more than an author who had published a few books! How much could he have earned?!

No matter how much, it surely couldn’t compare to the internet café! So if his sister really needed it, then why not borrow it?

Just as he had finished thinking this way, Han Mingyue gave him a solid slap in the face!

"Close to two million!"

"What?!" Zhen Yan was like someone who got burned by the sofa, instantly springing up from it!

"Did you rob a bank?! How can you have so much money!"

Han Mingyue: "..."

"Watch how you speak, brother!" Zhen Yu tried to put on a stern face but failed, so she simply laughed and chided her brother.

And yet, right after that, she also couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice, "It really is quite a lot! Add a little more, and it’s enough to buy a villa..."
