He Jinxuan watched with a doting smile as Xinyan circled around his father-in-law, acting playfully.
Gu Wanqing saw the father and daughter bargaining there, shook her head with a smile, and gestured to He Jinxuan, "Let’s go, let’s take a look inside the yard."
He Jinxuan nodded and led the way in front.
Xinyan saw her father was unmoved no matter what she said, so she admitted defeat, pouting as she ran after the two ahead towards the yard.
Han Jingchen couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the little expression on his daughter’s face.
After entering the yard and looking around thoroughly, Gu Wanqing finally turned to Xinyan, "Where did you get so much money?"
Xinyan had already thought of an excuse, so upon hearing the question, she looked at He Jinxuan.
Gu Wanqing noticed her daughter didn’t speak, "I’m asking you, why are you looking at Jinxuan?"
Xinyan raised her hand to touch the tip of her nose, "A large part of it is money Jinxuan had previously saved with me."
Gu Wanqing didn’t expect that He Jinxuan had already handed over financial control, but since they weren’t married yet, how could she agree to her daughter using He Jinxuan’s money to buy property: "How much did you use? Mom will reimburse you later."
He Jinxuan quickly stepped forward, "No need, the money was given to Yanyan, it’s hers, she can use it however she wants."
Gu Wanqing insisted, "No, that’s a matter of principle."
Xinyan saw her mom’s serious expression and didn’t say anything in rebuttal. Anyway, with legitimate income later, she wouldn’t encounter such issues again today, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Xinyan didn’t oppose, Gu Wanqing’s face broke into a smile again.
Afterwards, everyone stopped dwelling on the matter and began discussing the renovation plans for the house.
However, times are different now; other than opening a door in the back wall, a simple cleanup is enough to open a shop.
Han Jingchen still reminded, "Keep the original door of the main house, but for the doors in the yards of the other annex rooms, block them all with bricks. If later they need to be opened, just dismantle them."
Xinyan naturally understood that it was for the safety consideration of the back yard, "Alright, I’ll listen to Dad."
The group didn’t stay there long since Xinyan still had school in the afternoon, and Gu Wanqing was also quite busy recently.
When they were about to leave, Gu Wanqing whispered to Xinyan, "About me coming back to the country, those few families are already aware, you must be careful."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan furrowed her brows slightly, "Does my dad know?"
Gu Wanqing glanced at the son-in-law and father-in-law walking ahead, "Yes, I’ve already told him."
Xinyan leaned close to Gu Wanqing’s ear, "Do you have any plans?"
Gu Wanqing coughed lightly, "We’ll talk in detail when we go back this weekend."
Xinyan nodded, "Okay, I understand."
However, she already had plans in her heart, no matter what their schemes were, she wouldn’t let them go this time. If it weren’t for them taking action against the Gu Family, her previous life wouldn’t have been so miserable.
Before getting into the car, Han Jingchen leaned close to Xinyan’s ear and whispered a few words, almost making Xinyan burst out laughing.
Seeing his daughter happy, Han Jingchen got into the car in a good mood, waved to Xinyan and He Jinxuan, and then drove away with Gu Wanqing.
After the car drove a distance, Gu Wanqing finally asked, "What did you say to Yanyan just now that made her laugh so happily?"
Han Jingchen’s eyes were full of tenderness as he looked at Gu Wanqing, "You can tell Yanyan takes after you. She’s been back for such a short time and already has her own ideas. She mentioned it to me before, and I thought she was just saying it casually. I didn’t expect she’d act so quickly, which makes me both pleased and a bit sentimental."
