Chapter 152 - Buying The Storefront (3)
Calculating using the lowest rent at 800 yuan a month . 2,200 – 800 was 1,400 . But 800 was just the cost for this year . It might go up again next year . As far as Shu Yan knew, the rent here has gone up every year . In 3-5 years’ time, the rent just might be able to cover the mortgage and then some .
“Boss Lady, what are you so happy about?” Zhang Huaxiu couldn't help but asked after seeing how Shu Yan was humming softly with a look of happiness .
“Oh, nothing . ” Shu Yan had not shared with anyone else that she had bought a storefront other than Lao Hu .
How could she not be happy? In her original world, she was 30 years old and had always wanted to buy her own place and settle down . But by then, house prices were already astronomical . The most remotely located ones still cost tens of thousands per square meter . With her income, she wouldn’t be able to buy much even if she stopped eating and drinking for an entire year .
Now she not only owned a house, she also owned a storefront in the golden district . This had greatly reassured Shu Yan, who had been feeling anxious . It gave her… a sort of reassurance . From now on, no matter how good or bad business was, she and her children wouldn’t starve . Or she should say that they would be able to live a cozy life .
Good news came one after another, Shu Yan’s new house has finally finished with its renovation . She had specifically asked Chen Fei to do a walkthrough for her . Once he confirmed that everything looked good, Shu Yan signed off with alacrity and made the final payment .
“Good timing . Your customer furniture is about done as well . I’ll have someone bring them over . They can be aired out with the house . ” Chen Fei liked this house a lot . “How much did you pay per square meter for this place?”
“$4,000 . What’s up? You want to buy here as well?” Shu Yan looked at him nosily .

“I do like it here a lot . ” After a short pause, Chen Fei said softly, “Boss Lady, can you help me ask Xiuxiu how she likes it here?”
Shu Yan busted out laughing . “Aye! You two are already at the point of buying a place?”
“No, no, no . ” Chen Fei shook his head quickly . “I… I just like the layout of this house a lot . Most importantly, it’s close to Xiuxiu’s place . I… I haven’t told Xiuxiu that I like her yet . I don’t know how she feels . ”
Chen Fei was so nervous that he was rambling .

Shu Yan covered up her mouth and smiled . “Then quickly go tell her that you like her . It’s not easy to meet a nice girl these days . You are single; she is single . And you are both at the right age . It’s natural to talk about marriage . You don’t want to regret about after a missed opportunity . ”
After she had saw Chen Fei off, Shu Yan walked around the house slowly . They would be able to move in toward the end of the year . This would be her first house in this world . This was so nice .
The next day, Shu Yan asked Zhang Huaxiu whether she liked Nanfu Mansion or not . Zhang Huaxiu was stunned a little bit and said, “Nanfu Mansion? Of course I do . My sister-in-law had looked at the houses there a few times now, but they were too pricey for us to afford . ”
“Someone asked me to ask you . ” Noticing the sudden shyness on Zhang Huaxiu, Shu Yan sighed . Both of them were interested in each other and all they needed to do was to take the first step . They were in no rush but Shu Yan, as the bystander, was anxious . “Well, what are you thoughts? If you think he’s halfway decent, then let him know . Have lunch or dinner tonight . Spend some time with each other . If you still feel that he’s okay after getting to know him better, then let you family know and get things settled down . ”
“Boss, what do you think of him?” asked Zhang Huaxiu, troubled .

“It doesn’t matter that I think he’s a good boy . You need to like him . So, what are your thoughts?” asked Shu Yan .
“My parents have to be okay with it,” said Zhang Huaxiu with her head lowered, blushing .
In other words, she was very happy with Chen Fei!
“We can talk about it privately . From what I have heard, Chen Fei is not close with his father and hasn’t been home for years . So he’d probably be just like a normal relative in the future . Plus, he is willing to buy a house near your home . That’s rare . Nanfu Mansion is so close to your home that they are practically in one small distract . It’ll be easy for you go home in the future . Some people might feel that there will be a lot of stress without the help of their in-laws but, if you ask me, there are benefits with not having in-laws as well . ”
Shu Yan had never been married before but the original owner had . In her memory, the original owner’s mother-in-law was a very difficult person . She always felt that original owner should be obedient because she was the wife that they bought . One way or another, the original owner wasn’t allowed to not listen to her . Things got even worse after she gave birth to a daughter . She wouldn’t even let original owner had the traditional first month of rest after one had given birth . Her attitude was better after the birth of Tianbao . But, if you ask Shu Yan, she’d rather not have a mother-in-law liked that .
