Chapter 158: Looking at the House
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xia Wan followed Zhou Tian down the street, and a white two-story villa came into view.
It also featured a vast yard, which could be used to grow vegetables.
It was just that this was a little smaller than Zhou Xiaorou’s villa. From the decorations, it was also a little older.
However, a mansion like this was more than sufficient for Xia Wan. Zhou Tian took out the key and opened the door. Xia Wan carefully examined the inside of the mansion.
As Zhou Tian said, the villa had two floors, with three rooms on each floor. At the same time, the entire villa was very well-lit. There was even a room specially prepared for painting.
Zhou Tian explained, “Back then, Rou liked to draw. So, I prepared a studio for her. This studio is big enough. If you want to store some clothes, you can put them here.
“There’s an underground level,” Zhou Tian introduced. “I used to store some pickled vegetables here, but you can use them to keep your stock now. If you want to sell other things in the future, you can also leave it here.”
Xia Wan nodded and was very satisfied with the villa.
When they were almost done with the other rooms, Xia Wan told Zhou Tian,
“Mr. Zhou, I really like your villa. How much is the rent?”
Zhou Tian’s face immediately turned stern when he heard this. “Wanwan, you’ve done our family a massive favor. If it weren’t for you, Rou would have lost her life. All I’m doing is let your family live in an empty house, and you’re still talking about money with me?
“I won’t be able to repay you for saving Xiaorou even if I were to go bankrupt. If you pay me rent, you’ll embarrass me. I also want face. I won’t be able to keep his face if you insist on paying me.”
The more Zhou Tian spoke, the more agitated he became. He refused to accept Xia Wan’s money.
He looked as if he would stay here if Xia Wan didn’t stay in the villa.
Xia Wan was a little helpless, but she could understand Zhou Tian’s feelings. If it weren’t for her, the hospital wouldn’t have been able to find out anything about Zhou Xiaorou’s illness. Ultimately, things might turn out as Li Yan and Luo Xin had planned. Zhou Xiaorou’s body would ravage itself from the inside, eventually causing her to meet her demise. Zhou Tian would still think that Li Yan was a good son-in-law, and everything the Zhou family had would eventually end up in Li Yan’s pocket.
Thus, it only seemed reasonable that she got to live in Zhou Tian’s villa. Thinking about this, Xia Wan took the rent of the villa as the consultation fee for Zhou Xiaorou’s treatment.
“Alright then, Mr. Zhou. Since you’ve already said so, I would be a little ungrateful if I were to give you money. No matter what, I still have to thank you, Mr. Zhou.”
Seeing that Xia Wan was willing to accept the villa, Zhou Tian finally smiled. “That’s right. You can live in this villa with peace of mind. If you need any help, feel free to ask me.
As he spoke, Zhou Tian was also a little angry. “I heard about your relatives. I really hate myself for not being in the hospital that day. How could a mother be so cruel? Her son is in the hospital, but she refuses to pay for his medical expenses. Is she afraid that her son will actually be cured?”
After saying that, Zhou Tian asked again, “Have you paid all your medical fees?” If you still owe money, you can take it from me directly. I will never be able to repay you in this lifetime.”
Don’t worry, Mr. Zhou, “Xia Wan said immediately. I did my father’s surgery, so the hospital didn’t charge me much. Also, because they saw my medical skills, they invited me to become a special instructor at the hospital. They’ll even pay me a salary.
“We slept in the hospital last night. The director arranged the rooms for us.”
Zhou Tian was shocked. He did not expect Xia Wan to receive such treatment.
“Wanwan, that’s the best hospital in town. I heard that many industries would flood our town soon, and it’s very likely that we’ll develop into a city. By then, the status of our hospital will definitely rise a lot. Wanwan, you must seize this opportunity.
“By the way, is this affecting your sales? Will there be a conflict of interest?”
Xia Wan felt a warm feeling in her heart when she saw how nervous Zhou Tian was. Zhou Tian now took her very seriously, and he was genuinely worried about her.
It was also because of Zhou Tian’s reminder that she remembered that their town would develop into a city in five years ‘time. By then, the price of houses would increase by a lot.
Her eyes were shining. This seemed to be a good opportunity..
