Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 478 - 476: The Cold Stone That Won’t Hatch
Jiayi had no time to stop it and couldn’t help but bitterly smile inside.
Mommy, you’re pushing your own daughter into a fire pit!
But who could blame him when the man’s acting skills were top-notch?
Usually so wickedly cool and overbearing in front of her, insisting on his own way like a tyrant, yet in front of Mommy, he became the sincerest nice guy?
Huo Zhenyang didn’t say much, just casually shrugged his shoulders as if it was nothing, "Another day my assistant will come to show you the house and the surroundings, then you can move in whenever you’re ready."
Having said that, he turned around, long legs carrying him toward the Porsche.
——
It wasn’t two days before Ade came to the Fuyah Residential Area, taking Jiayi and Xia Tingxuan to see their new home.
It was the weekend and Zaizai wasn’t at kindergarten, so he also tagged along eagerly.
On the way, Jiayi learned that the man had arranged a house in the Green Island Garden.
And the Green Island Garden was less than two stops away from the Desheng Villa Area.
It was just a ten-plus-minute walk.
That man... really had ulterior motives.
She clenched her fists, but seeing her mother already prepared and excited to view the house, she couldn’t say anything.
The residential area was indeed very nice with a low occupancy rate, very quiet, with neighbors each boasting impressive careers, high refinement, and no gossipy old women, and it also had a good security system.
Not only were Jiayi and Xia Tingxuan satisfied, but Zaizai also took a liking to it right away because of the many play facilities in the residential park.
The house Huo Zhenyang arranged was on the fifteenth floor of a high-rise apartment, which was also the most expensive building in the Green Island Garden.
The lighting and decoration of the house were great, and all household appliances were fully equipped, truly a move-in-ready home.
After viewing the house, the three of them followed Ade down the elevator.
Jiayi could tell that Mommy was very satisfied, and persuading Mommy not to move in now would surely disappoint her.
Mom had suffered a lot in her life, and no one wished more for her comfort than herself.
And then there was Zaizai...
That man wasn’t wrong, Green Island Garden was located in a school district, surrounded by prestigious schools, which might make Zaizai’s move to elementary school much more convenient, not having to scramble like he did for kindergarten.
Not until the elevator dinged as it reached the ground floor did Jiayi make up her mind, fine, let’s follow Mommy’s wishes.
Right before getting into the car, Xia Tingxuan pulled Jiayi aside and quietly handed her a bank card, "Jiayi, although Mr. Huo hasn’t mentioned how much the rent here is, I’ve checked online, and I also asked some of the residents of Green Island Garden. The money on this card is some of my savings, enough to cover about half a year’s rent. When you have a chance, give this card to Mr. Huo and let him know that we’ll pay the rent monthly by transferring it to this account. If he thinks it’s not enough, he can say so. Although he acknowledges Zaizai as his godson, we can’t take advantage of his kindness."
Mommy has always been this stubborn, never accepting favors from others for no reason, otherwise, she wouldn’t have left the Chu Family, right?
But it’s good, too, because even though they moved into the Green Island Garden arranged by Young Master Huo, they couldn’t really stay for free. Paying the rent monthly gives more peace of mind and prevents that man from having too much control over them.
Jiayi nodded her head.
—
A week later, Ade sent two large trucks to help Jiayi and her family of three move into Green Island Garden.
Watching Mommy and Zaizai busily moving and setting up the new room, although Jiayi still felt somewhat at a loss about moving into Green Island Garden, in the end, she was happy.
After all, as long as these two closest people were happy, everything was worth it.
That night, Jiayi went to Disheng as usual to clean.
Just as she had finished her work and was about to go to the room to change clothes, she heard the villa’s main gate creak open, and the voice of Hui Sister came through, "Mr. Huo is back."
Huie had been behaving better these days and after begging for some mercy, Huo Zhenyang’s mood improved somewhat. He stopped making her avoid Jiayi all the time.
On the other side, when Jiayi saw him coming back, she stopped in her tracks.
After moving into Green Island Garden, this was the first time she had seen him on this side of the villa.
Jiayi didn’t think for long and hurried forward, "Mr. Huo, do you have a moment?"
As soon as Huo Zhenyang walked in, he shed the jacket of his suit with Huie’s help, the white shirt snug against his robust frame, causing some surprise. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Each time she had encountered him in the Disheng Villa recently, this young woman would dodge out of sight.
And today, she’s actually approaching him to talk on her own?
A hint of tiredness relaxed his usually striking features unconsciously.
He unfastened the topmost button of his shirt and loosened his collar a bit, "Huie, you can go now."
Huie’s face darkened slightly, sensing that something was increasingly off between the young master and this Chu Jiayi.
Now they are having a conversation, and the young master has her leave so she can’t overhear.
Turning away, Huie walked along the wall. When she reached a corner, she stopped, peeking covertly back into the living room, her shrewd eyes keenly observing the two people inside.
Meanwhile, silence pervaded the living room.
Huo Zhenyang sat on the sofa, choosing a comfortable position, leaning back against the rest, with his sleeves rolled up a few inches, his long arms casually resting on the armrests on either side: "What is it, go ahead and speak."
Jiayi took out the bank card she carried with her, walked over, and handed it to him with both hands: "For the new house in Green Island Garden, my mom is extremely happy with it, and Zaizai loves it, too. This is our advance payment for the rent. My mom made me promise a thousand times to give it to you, the password is a six-digit common number. We won’t be living in this house for free."
So she stopped him and spoke to him proactively just to pay the rent?
Huo Zhenyang felt as if someone had poured a ladle of cold water on him, and his eyes instantly darkened.
Right away, he glanced at the bank card and mocked, "This is the first time in my life a woman has given me money."
After paying the rent, they’re even. She won’t owe him any favors.
He can no longer use it as an excuse to ask her for anything.
This young woman, step by step, was avoiding him.
Underneath that seemingly fragile appearance was truly an impassive rock.
Despicable.
How could it just so happen that this woman is the one who could reignite his passions?
She wants to sever ties with him?
A woman, can she really be more problematic than business affairs or running for mayor?
There isn’t a person Huo Zhenyang can’t get the better of.
Ignoring his teasing, Jiayi still clutched the bank card with both hands.
He suddenly chuckled, "How much money is in the bank card?"
"A little over twenty thousand."
"So, how long do you anticipate that twenty thousand will cover the rent?"
"...It should cover about half a year?" Jiayi said, somewhat unsure.
The man’s laughter spread instantly, "Twenty thousand to cover half a year’s rent, which is around three thousand a month, correct? Forgive my bluntness, but the property I’ve arranged for your family, it’s the most expensive housing in the entire Green Island Garden. Three thousand can’t even rent a restroom in that house, well, perhaps half a balcony might just suffice."
