Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Brother-in-law is the Ex 94_1

Everyone calmed down only after seeing the company had established a working group and kept assuring them that a result would definitely be produced.

Even if they joined forces, they might not be taken seriously by the real estate developer, but it was different when the company stepped in; of course, they would be treated seriously.

Huang Jing and the others were, of course, very happy because the company said it would pay for the professional oversight they had hired.

Although it was not a lot of money, and they could afford it, if the company was paying, they certainly couldn’t miss the opportunity to get something for nothing.

Everyone was busy with work, but they all cared deeply about the housing issue.

After all, with the houses already in that state, they had to figure out how to remedy and improve them, because if there were problems after moving in, for sure, the developer would not take responsibility.

Right before the New Year, the company announced the outcomes for the houses, which could truly be considered good news for everyone.

The identified issues would be renovated by the developer, with a guarantee to pass inspections by the professional oversight.

There was also compensation for the homeowners, three percent of the housing price, which came as a delightful surprise to everyone.

With three percent, they could get at least ten thousand back, equivalent to saving a portion of the expenses needed when purchasing the house.

As for the company’s arrangement, the others really had no objections, and so the decision passed, and the real estate company began the renovation and rebuilding of the houses.

Xia Ke now truly admired Huang Jing, "I can’t believe you even thought to hire professional oversight."

It wasn’t just a few of them who benefited this time, but all the homebuyers; the developers were the only ones at a loss, sorry, but that had nothing to do with them.

"I don’t understand these things, and if I don’t, shouldn’t I find a professional?"

"Professionals should handle professional matters." This had always been Huang Jing’s attitude.

Xia Ke remembered Huang Jing often said this in the past, and now it seemed absolutely true.

"Are you going to hire professional oversight for your renovation as well?" Xia Ke felt Huang Jing was very likely to continue hiring oversight.

"Yes," confirmed Huang Jing, admitting that this was not an expense she could spare, "Although they guarantee they’ll do a good job and treat it as a showpiece."

"But you can’t trust them," Huang Jing utterly distrusted these people’s words.

"With professional oversight, I can better address the issue."

"At least they will be meticulous with the plumbing and electrical systems."

Perhaps with oversight, there might still be some problems, but for someone as busy as Huang Jing, hiring professional oversight was naturally the best option.

"I’ll continue with the same oversight too," Shen Lan was quite satisfied with the previous overseer, who was a responsible person.

Xia Ke and Fan Chen naturally agreed as well; one cannot be careless with house renovations, and although it meant spending a bit of money, it was a good choice for them.

With the solution in place, everyone was waiting for the post-holiday approval to start renovating their houses. Now, everyone was busy planning how to spend the Spring Festival.

Some were going back to their hometowns, others wanted to go out and relax for a bit, because after a year of hard work, of course, they deserved a treat.

Fan Chen and Xia Ke had decided earlier that they would visit Fan Chen’s family since they had decided to get married; it was only appropriate to visit the elders at home.

Xia Ke had no plans to inform her parents; what use would it be to notify them? They had long since established their own families and businesses and had people they needed to care and worry about.

Knowing about her marriage, she could assure that there would be no blessings to expect; they would only think about how they could exploit her wedding to make a fortune.

As for those who might say that not telling her parents could make her in-laws aware she had no maternal family support and might lead them to bully her, well...

Because of this, Xia Ke could only say that if it were really the case, even if she had her parental home, without any action, the so-called parental home that would never lend a helping hand, she had not been without seeing.

It could be said that she had seen a lot, and Xia Ke had completely given up on the so-called parental home, the so-called reliance.

The so-called reliance was not as good as having a house in her name, having savings in her own name; only with these things, no matter what she encountered, could she feel more secure.

Huang Jing wasn’t surprised by Xia Ke’s arrangements, the daughter-in-law would eventually have to meet her in-laws, and it would also be a good opportunity to see what her in-laws were like by visiting the Fan Family.

Xia Ke looked at Huang Jing, who hadn’t reacted yet, "I can’t go out and play with you this time, have you thought about where you want to go for the Spring Festival?"

Going back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year with the Huang family was something Xia Ke would never consider; she thought Huang Jing must have plans to go out.

As for how to spend the Spring Festival, Huang Jing hadn’t really thought about it, "Before the holiday, I’m going to go back and check on the situation at home."

After all, Huang Lixin was seriously ill, and even though he was doing better now, she couldn’t pretend to be unaware and not visit.

"Next, I plan to find a place to lie low." That’s right, if she were by herself, she would just find a nice hotel to stay in, not to cook, not to clean, to truly relax.

Fan Chen also remembered that he had not asked Shen Lan how he was going to spend the Spring Festival. In the past, he had invited him to come back for New Year’s, but he had not agreed.

This time, he guessed Shen Lan would probably find a place to stay alone again, but then Fan Chen suddenly looked at Huang Jing and then at Shen Lan, "I’m saying if the two of you don’t have any plans for the Spring Festival."

"Why can’t you find a place to vacation together?"

"That way, you can have someone to look out for each other." Otherwise, if Huang Jing had an accident, Fan Chen knew Xia Ke would be very upset, so why not travel together?

Vacation with Shen Lan? Huang Jing looked up at Fan Chen in surprise. If she didn’t know him, she would truly have thought he was being sarcastic.

Xia Ke had been very worried before, but now hearing Fan Chen’s plan, her eyes lit up immediately.

That’s right, she had been full of worries before, concerned about Huang Jing spending New Year’s alone, not knowing how desolate it would be.

But if Huang Jing went out with Shen Lan, there would definitely be no problem, it would be absolutely safe.

She just didn’t know if Huang Jing would agree, lifting her head to look at her, waiting for her decision.

Huang Jing was truly stunned; she had not expected Fan Chen to say such a thing.

"You’re asking me?" If it were up to Huang Jing to choose, she really wouldn’t be willing; being with Shen Lan was just too quiet.

More importantly, it had always been trips with four people, and now suddenly changing to just the two of them, what would people think?

They might discuss in private, suggesting they had been a couple all along, just not admitting it or something of the sort.

And she couldn’t just say no, because once she did, it would make Shen Lan feel as if she was rejecting him.

Sigh, life is really difficult, and Huang Jing could only look towards Shen Lan, waiting for the great god’s answer.

"No problem." Shen Lan had no ideas about where to play; when he used to be alone, he’d just stay at home and continue dealing with work-related matters.

Now that there was one more person, it seemed like there was no issue, and Shen Lan calmly expressed his willingness to accept.

As for where to vacation, he left the choice entirely up to Huang Jing, anyway he would just follow.

Listening to Shen Lan’s words, Huang Jing was speechless. What could she do at this moment?

The great god had spoken, and she could only embrace the privilege of vacationing with the great god.
