"Since you called the Ancestor, does that mean you want to ask?" Zuzi’s smile was lazy yet straightforward.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Tao calmed down instead. Updates are released by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
Exactly, Zuzi even gifted her Miracle Medicine for weight loss, clearly treating her as family, so what was she hesitating or hiding about?
"Zuzi, here’s the thing, Jing Yan is going to college, right? He’s also at a marriageable age. My husband is thinking of doing a good business to save up some dowry for Jing Yan. We can’t always rely on the old man’s support."
"It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but over the years, whenever Xizhi invests in a business, he loses money, so he’s being cautious this time. He studied engineering, so real estate development suits him best. He wants to return to his old trade and carefully choose a piece of land."
"There’s an auction at the opening day of the new Diege auction house in a few days, with a batch of plots on offer. Xizhi has researched thoroughly and picked out two plots to bid on, but we have limited funds and don’t know which one to ultimately choose..."
Before she could finish speaking.
Zuzi had already given her verdict: "Choose the cheap one, the piece that no one wants."
"Huh?" Qin Tao was dumbfounded.
She hadn’t even detailed the conditions of the two plots to Zuzi yet.
"But Zuzi, the cheap plot is only fifty million, it’s in the city center, very narrow, surrounded by high-rise buildings. If we build, it can only be a narrow single structure, and I’m afraid it won’t sell well... The expensive one, located in the suburbs, happens to be the film city Gu Pinting’s crew rented. It’s indeed pricey at five hundred million, but we can take a loan for development..."
"Choose the cheap one, Xiao Tao." Zuzi still stuck to her words.
Qin Tao realized that Zuzi wasn’t joking; she was serious about advising her husband to pick the cheap plot.
"I understand, Zuzi. Thank you!"
She knew that if Zuzi didn’t explain the reason, it must be something unspeakable, so she sensibly didn’t press further.
After hanging up, she immediately relayed the conclusion to her husband: "Zuzi said to choose the cheap one!"
"Huh? The fifty million one? Honey, you know choosing that is out of desperation. It’s the cheapest in the entire lot and likely the one no one will bid on. Anyone with a bit of financial power wouldn’t choose it..."
"Stop blabbering, just go with it. Zuzi surely won’t be wrong."
"Honey, is it really okay to trust a high schooler like that?"
"What are you talking about? That’s Zuzi, the one who scored full marks in every subject on the college entrance exam, the one who encourages me to lose 60 pounds with just one candy. Say that again, and you’ll be sleeping in the guest room tonight!"
"No, no, no, honey, I was wrong. I’ll listen to you, we’ll trust Zuzi’s choice. I’m just curious why she suggested picking the cheap one. Is she worried we don’t have the money or can’t get a loan, and just said it casually?"
"No, Zuzi’s words are golden; it’s definitely not casual talk. If she doesn’t explain... maybe it’s because the heavens’ secrets cannot be fully revealed! Don’t ask too much and make sure to follow through!"
"Honey, since I’m being so obedient, can I get a little reward tonight?"
"Just to explore... that new thing from XX, is that okay?"
"You shameless thing, why are you... day and night... ah, go sleep in the living room! I can’t take it anymore... mm!"
Qin Tao felt that after losing weight, she became prettier, and her husband was clinging to her just like when they first fell in love... it’s nice, but her waist couldn’t quite take it!
