Chapter 476: Chapter 477 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 91_1

Liao Jun left with a smile on his face, but as soon as he got into his car, his expression dropped completely.

"Outrageous, to buy a house, I even need approval from the surrounding neighbors? Do they really think I’m a fool?"

The more Liao Jun thought about it, the angrier he became, determined to ask around and, when the opportunity arose, tear off Liao Kai’s hypocritical mask.

He asked a few people, some were clueless and also found it surprising, while others just took the chance to ask for a loan.

Only after a lot of effort did he finally find someone who knew about it, and the person kept complimenting him, thinking Liao Jun wanted to buy a courtyard house over there.

At first, he thought the person was congratulating him on buying a courtyard house, but as he listened, he realized that things weren’t as he had thought.

Liao Jun cut off the continuous stream of compliments: It’s not me who’s buying a house; it’s my younger brother, my own brother, who bought the courtyard house. I went to visit today, and I heard from him.

Liao Jun: This is my first time hearing about it, and I just found it strange.

The person had initially thought it was Liao Jun who had bought a house there and was wondering how to foster a relationship to gradually enter that circle.

But it turned out not to be Liao Jun’s purchase at all; however, it’s still good, as it was his own brother who had bought it.

Informed Insider: Then your brother must not have told you about the situation with the surrounding neighbors.

The situation with the surrounding neighbors? Liao Jun remembered Liao Kai mentioning once that they were quite prestigious and that there were many wealthy people.

Liao Jun: But here in Capital City, are there a few people with status? Are there few wealthy people?

The informed insider sighed gently: That’s because your brother did not tell you the truth. I’m not too clear about the residents there; I just know of a few families.

He casually mentioned: It’s said that there are even bigger bosses living there, but as for specifics, you know what it’s like with prominent households.

Just hearing about those few families mentioned made Liao Jun stunned; one of the bosses was someone he had met at a business gathering—a true center of attention.

Liao Jun hadn’t expected that despite all the efforts he made just to exchange a few words with this figure, he couldn’t manage it; yet Liao Kai ended up becoming neighbors with them.

Liao Jun really wanted to curse. Liao Kai didn’t even run a business; living with these tycoons, wasn’t it just a waste?

It was infuriating indeed. Liao Jun really wanted to lash out. Why hadn’t such an excellent opportunity come his way?

If he had had such a chance, he certainly would have bought the house and then worked hard to get close to the neighbors.

But it didn’t matter if he couldn’t move in; after all, it was Liao Kai who lived there, his own younger brother. As his elder brother, it surely wouldn’t be a problem to frequently visit his brother’s home.

No, the plan should be to have the parents move in. As the eldest son, it would be perfectly normal for him to frequently check in on his parents, right?

Yes, that’s the way to do it, Liao Jun quickly figured out the plan of action.

As for whether Liao Daqiang and his wife would agree, he was quite confident they would.

Liao Daqiang and his wife were stunned to learn that Liao Kai and his wife had actually bought a three-entry courtyard house.

As for the suggestion by Liao Jia that they move there, of course, that wasn’t a problem.

Initially, living in the villa had seemed prestigious to them; now, they knew that living in a three-entry courtyard house held even more status than a villa.

It’s a pity that although Liao Jun made a lot of money, it would be difficult to buy a courtyard house, and he hadn’t expected that Liao Kai could have managed to buy such a big one.

Liao Daqiang was quite tempted to move into the courtyard house, but after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea, "We won’t move in."

If Liao Kai had asked, he might have considered living there, but since Liao Kai and his wife kept quiet and it was Liao Jun who wanted them to move in, what did that count for?

It was inappropriate, and Liao Daqiang shook his head repeatedly to express his refusal.

Zhang Zhaodi really wanted to go, but since Liao Daqiang didn’t want to, her opinion wasn’t important.

She knew that Liao Kai had some respect for Liao Daqiang but none for her.

Who knows, they might even go so far as to not allow her to live there. Liao Jun was also very angry that such a good opportunity was there, and Liao Daqiang just wouldn’t agree.

"Have you all forgotten that Liao Kai can also have a temper?"

"The eldest also said that the house needs two years to be renovated, had he mentioned that before?"

"Do we know how many properties and shops they have registered under their names now?"

"Or, whenever they publish any book, have they mentioned it to us?"

"Including Xiao Yu’s graduation from her master’s program; they say foreign graduation ceremonies are quite grand, have they shown us any graduation photos?"

"Including passing the judiciary exams and obtaining a lawyer’s qualification, it was mentioned so briefly."

"Have they mentioned any more news?"

"You wouldn’t give away that apartment, have you all forgotten Liao Kai and his wife always keep their distance from us?"

"Even moving into the courtyard houses, do you believe they would be capable of sending us directly to a nursing home?"

Even with frequent visits, Liao Daqiang became increasingly certain that Liao Kai and his wife, who never coveted their assets, would never live together with them.

Send them to a nursing home? Zhang Zhaodi’s eyes widened, "Would they dare?"

"What wouldn’t they dare? Do you think they care about our house and money?"

Even without knowing the couple’s net worth, it was clear they were not likely far behind Liao Jun.

Perhaps the value of just one courtyard house could surpass the total price of the many properties under Liao Jun’s name.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Zhaodi, who had more to say, fell silent, "But we’re his parents, why can’t we go and see our son’s house?"

"Seeing is one thing, living is another."

"If you don’t mind seeing Zhao Wenjin with that sullen face every day." Liao Jun could keep his wife in check, so his eldest daughter-in-law, no matter how reluctant, had to keep her mouth shut.

But Zhao Wenjin was the one who could keep Liao Kai under control; giving the elders a hard time was entirely up to her mood.

At these words, Zhang Zhaodi quickly changed her mind, "Never mind, it’s not like I don’t have anywhere to live."

Even if she couldn’t stay at Liao Jun’s place, she wasn’t out of options.

Seeing Zhang Zhaodi, who clearly had been moved by the conversation, so quickly change her mind, Liao Jun was genuinely unhappy.

He wanted to explode, but how could he explode? Unlike Liao Xuan, who knew nothing at all, Liao Jun knew that his parents didn’t only have the courtyard house but had also bought several properties to collect rent from.

One could say that the couple’s rental income could surpass their retirement pension.

Liao Jun couldn’t possibly use money to pressure his elderly parents, "The business in the store isn’t as good as before; there are more people opening stores now."

"I was thinking of changing careers, thinking of opening a private kitchen in the courtyard house," Liao Jun said slowly while looking at Liao Daqiang.

"So, you’ve set your sights on your brother’s courtyard house?"

"And then you also plan to rent the house for a cheap price?" Liao Daqiang understood his son’s thoughts all too well.

The old man admitted that Liao Jun was quite filial to him and his wife, but could you say he wasn’t eyeing the house?

Don’t ask how he knew that, it was because Liao Jun had been asking Zhang Zhaodi for information, letting the old man overhear.

The experienced old man, how could he not understand Liao Jun’s thoughts? "Some things, just because you know, doesn’t mean others don’t know."

"Your brother and his wife, having visited so many countries, do you think they don’t understand these things?"

"In recent years, Zhao Wenjin has been all about various legal clauses; they converse using legal language as a couple, do you think they wouldn’t sign a contract with you if you wanted to rent the house?"

"Do you think you can get the house at a low price?"
