Chapter 117: 【117】90s cook 117 (third update)

The secret of the three Beijing houses could no longer be concealed.

So she generously announced this good news to everyone and expressed her desire to let Cao Yang take Xiao Xiao to Beijing for a visit, to broaden their horizons, and of course, the most important thing was to help Aunt Xiuying with the children and to assist in running errands for their own house renovation.

Leaving this task to Cao Yang would give the siblings another opportunity to exercise.

Cao Yang was first shocked by his stepmother’s ability to accumulate wealth, and then he was moved. Although she only mentioned it now because the property had not been transferred before and now that the house was being handed over and needed decoration, her informing him was a sign of trust, and this trust moved him.

However, what moved him even more was yet to come: "I’ve already planned for these three Beijing houses, to leave them for the three of you siblings. Xiao Xiao will get the smallest one, and the remaining two are for you brothers. I’m sending you to Beijing, and by the way, I’ll directly transfer that house to you. It’s just the right time while the property certificate hasn’t come out yet; we can go to the housing authority to register," she said.

Because their house didn’t involve a loan, the process probably wouldn’t be so complicated, and the reason she transferred the house to Cao Yang so quickly was also because she was worried that it would be troublesome later when it became harder to register the residence.

It would be better to seize the opportunity and register the residence in Beijing directly.

Cao Yang immediately waved his hand to refuse: "Mom, I don’t want it. If I want a house, I’ll earn it myself. I don’t need you to give it to me."

Cao Yuan also felt that his son was right. "He’s still in college now, and the future is uncertain. Although there is a possibility he will stay in Beijing, I don’t think he needs a house. Graduates from his school generally won’t have bad jobs, and he’ll definitely be able to afford a house. There’s no need for you to supplement."

Gong Mingxia really wanted to tell them that the future prices of houses in Beijing would skyrocket like a rocket, with daily increases, and if they didn’t buy now, it would be even harder to buy in the future.

But she could not deny Cao Yang’s bright future. She wanted to persuade them further, but Cao Yang refused firmly.

"Mom, I really don’t want it. Why not save it for my little brother and sister?"

"They are still young; they don’t need houses now. You are already an adult. I wanted to give you a gift for adulthood, but I didn’t expect that you—"

"Mom, I am grateful to you, but I’m a man, so I want to create my future with my own hands. You created this, it shouldn’t be given to me for nothing. After all, it’s all within our family, so why care whose name it’s under?"

Gong Mingxia couldn’t persuade Cao Yang’s firm stand, so she let it be. Since there was no need to transfer the property, Gong Mingxia stayed busy in the shop and gave them several thousand yuan, along with a camera, and had them take the train to Beijing, considering it a two-month summer camp.

The three houses Mingxia purchased in Beijing were located in a school district. As soon as the houses were transferred, everyone rushed to renovate their properties, as the complex was projected to be in high demand in the future, meaning the initial renovations would not consider simplicity; they wouldn’t be extravagantly luxurious, but they would at least be above average.

When the children went to Beijing, she had tasked Cao Yang with renting a short-term, ready-to-move-in apartment in Xiuying’s residential area. Unexpectedly, Xiuying insisted on buying a folding bed for Cao Yang to use temporarily in her living room, while Xiao Xiao slept in a room with her. After all, it was just for two months; there was no need to waste that money.

Cao Yang called Mingxia, and seeing the situation, she didn’t make the children move out but instructed them to be sensible and diligent, as Aunt Xiuying was helping their family. They must always be grateful. Cao Yang agreed and hung up the phone.
