â`
This kind of purposeful concern is really unacceptable.
âI have the right to visit Xixi, and your brother-in-law admits that.â
âThen you should communicate with him.â
Li Manshu was left speechless; she could now contact Yang Hao, but she had to go through Meng Yuyu.
Saying that he would relay everything through Meng Yuyu, Yang Haoâs move was like a blow to the heart, constantly reminding Li Manshu that a young girl like Meng Yuyu was now just his kept mistress.
And Li Manshuâs status was not at all comparable to Meng Yuyuâs; her little tricks were easily neutralized by Meng Chacha, often leaving Li Manshu speechless.
âLetâs not talk about Xixi right now, I want to move in with you. That way, we sisters can look after each other, and besides, itâs too quiet for such a big house to be inhabited only by you and Xu Wenqianâ¦â
Li Manshu revealed her second motive for coming.@@novelbin@@
âSis, I really canât make that decision myself, youâll have to ask the brother-in-law since heâs the one who paid for the house.â
Li Manni couldnât directly reject her sister, so she had to pass the buck to her brother-in-law.
âItâs true he paid for the house, but itâs yours now, so of course, you can decide.â
âManni, I am your actual sister, can you bear to see me living in a tiny apartment of a few dozen square meters?â Li Manshu took her sisterâs hand, playing the emotional card again.
Li Manni felt somewhat speechless; she now understood her motherâs concerns precisely.
Initially, for the sake of the mission, Yang Hao had bought the house in his mother-in-law Kang Huizhiâs name, who, worried that her eldest daughter Li Manshu might covet the house, told her the house was bought by Yang Hao for Li Manni, to deter Li Manshu from getting any ideas.
Yet, even so, Li Manshu still harbored thoughts of moving into the mansion.
âSis, I donât mind if you move in, but you really have to ask the brother-in-law about this.â
âHow about I call him right now?â
Not knowing how to refuse, Li Manni could only resort to using her brother-in-law as a shield.
âAlright, then call him.â
Li Manshu hesitated but decided to let her sister try.
What if her ex-husband Yang Hao agreed?
So Li Manni dialed Yang Haoâs number right in front of her sister.
âManni, whatâs the matter?â
The call connected swiftly, and that alone made Li Manshu envious because she couldnât even get through to Yang Hao now.
âBrother-in-law, hereâs the thing.â
âMy sister wants to move in with me, and since you bought the house, we need to ask for your opinion.â
Li Manni got straight to the point.
âDoesnât she have her own house?â
âWhy would she want to live with you!â
Yang Haoâs tone suddenly turned icy, and although Li Manshu couldnât see him, she could imagine his face wasnât looking good.
âSis, you tell him.â Li Manni simply handed the phone to her sister Li Manshu.
âUh, Iâ¦â
Li Manshu was suddenly at a loss; she had a sense of superiority over Yang Hao immediately after the divorce.
Now that sense of superiority was long gone, replaced by a feeling of lowliness.
âI wanted to keep Manni company.â
âAnd help her with some housework.â
Li Manshu found a couple of reasons.
âManni has Wenqian for company, and a part-time maid does the housework, plus mom, dad, and I occasionally stay over; there really isnât room.â
âLetâs leave it at that!â
Yang Hao brushed it off casually, then hung up the phone.
âYouâ¦â
Li Manshu, frustrated, bit her lip; she wanted to retort, but all she heard from the receiver was a busy tone.
Elsewhere.
Yang Hao had just driven into the underground parking lot of Lanjiang Bay, and Meng Yuyuâs apartment came with two parking spots, with Yang Haoâs license plate already entered into the property system, so it was very convenient for Yang Hao to come in and out of the complex.
After he parked the car, he went to building number 8 where Sun Xinyi lived and took the elevator to the 23rd floor.
Getting close, he had already sent a message to Sun Xinyi, and by now Yibao was already waiting at the door.
âYang.â
Sun Xinyi greeted him with a smile and handed him a pair of brand-new menâs slippers.
âWho else is here?â
As Yang Hao changed into the slippers, he asked.
âLi and Yingying.â
âTheyâre still busy in the kitchen, preparing a feast.â
Yang Hao nodded slightly,â A housewarming is a happy occasion, you could have invited more friends.â
âMaybe another time.â
Sun Xinyi wasnât the type to show off about moving into a multimillion-dollar mansion like Lanjiang Bay.
âBoss, hello!â
âYang, hello~â
Following Sun Xinyi into the house, Xu Yali and Zhao Yingying greeted Yang Hao with beaming smiles.
âI heard youâve prepared a feast, thank you for the hard work.â
âIt wasnât hard at all!â
âYep, happy to serve the boss!â
Both expressed their commitment.
To Yang Hao, the CEO, they represented two attitudes: one was aspiring but unattained, the other was overly eager to please.
The four sat down at the dining table and ate the sumptuous housewarming banquet.
To celebrate, they even opened a bottle of red wine.
âBoss, Xinyi said sheâs a bit scared to live here alone. Do you mind if I stay with her?â
âOf course, I wonât disturb you and Xinyi. Iâve always been a bit hard of hearing, especially at night, Iâm practically deaf.â
After finishing the bottle of red wine, with her cheeks blushing, Xu Yali said.
Ever since she had accompanied Sun Xinyi to view the house, she had fancied the idea of moving in with her best friend, but this required the approval of Yang Hao, since he was the one who had bought the house.
âYou donât need to ask me about this, as long as Xinyi agrees, thatâs fine.â
