177: Free house
"G-Gifting it... to us?" Mother Xu was stunned. "Mr. Wang, you can't do this! This is far too valuable!"
Wang Chen smiled. "Auntie, go up and take a look first. We can talk after you see if you like it."
Several people took the elevator upstairs.
When Mother Xu saw the 580-square-meter duplex, she was completely dumbfounded.
"I-It's so big?" She stood in the living room, at a loss. "How much must this cost..."
Li Mei introduced from the side, "Big sister, the market price for this house is around twenty-five million."
"Twenty-five million?!" Mother Xu's legs went weak, and she nearly collapsed.
Xu Xiyuan quickly supported her.
"Mr. Wang, this is too precious, we can't accept it..." Mother Xu waved her hands repeatedly. "You've already helped us enough. This house... we really can't take it!"
Wang Chen had already expected her to say this.
"Auntie, this house isn't being given for nothing," he said seriously. "Xi Yuan is my person now, and her family is my family. You living in the old district has no security and the environment is poor. Moving here would put my mind at ease."
He paused. "Besides, Xi Yuan will often be traveling for business with me in the future. With you home alone, living here with 24-hour property management patrols will allow me to be at peace."
Mother Xu still shook her head. "That won't do... it's just too valuable..."
Wang Chen looked at Xu Xiyuan.
Xu Xiyuan bit her lip and took her mother's hand. "Mom, please just accept it. Brother Chen's sincere intention. If you refuse, he'll be sad."
"But..."
"No buts," Wang Chen interrupted directly. "Auntie, if you don't accept it, I'll just leave the house empty and won't let anyone live in it. Could you bear to see such a nice house go to waste?"
Mother Xu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She looked at her daughter, then at Wang Chen, and finally sighed. "Mr. Wang... the great kindness you've shown our family, I won't be able to repay it in this lifetime..."
"No need to repay me." Wang Chen smiled. "Raising Xi Yuan so well is the greatest reward for me."
These words made Mother Xu's eyes turn red again.
Xu Xiyuan was also too moved for words, only able to grip Wang Chen's hand tightly.
The procedures were handled quickly.
Li Mei personally ran around, and within one afternoon, all the title transfer procedures were completed.
The name on the property deed was Xu Xiyuan.
"Brother Chen, thank you..." Xu Xiyuan looked at the property deed in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Wang Chen rubbed her head. "Come on, I'll take you to buy some daily necessities. You'll stay here tonight."
The group went to a nearby shopping mall.
With a wave of Wang Chen's hand, furniture, appliances, daily necessities... everything was the best quality.
Mother Xu tried to stop him but couldn't.
"Mr. Wang, enough, enough, it's too much..." Looking at the mountain of shopping bags, Mother Xu didn't know what to say.
"It's not much," Wang Chen said. "The house is so big; it would look empty with too few things."
After buying everything, they hired a cleaning company to give the house a thorough cleaning.
By the time everything was finished, it was already eight in the evening.
"Auntie, you stay here tonight," Wang Chen said. "Xi Yuan will stay here with you for now to get familiar with the environment."
Mother Xu nodded repeatedly. "Good, good."
Wang Chen pulled Xu Xiyuan aside and exchanged for two bottles of constitution strengthening fluid from the system space.
"Before you go to bed tonight, you and your mother use one bottle each. Dilute it with water and take a bath." He handed the bottles to Xu Xiyuan.
"What is this?" Xu Xiyuan looked at the small bottles in her hand curiously.
"A new product developed by the company, for beauty and skincare." Wang Chen casually made up an excuse. "The effect is very good; you'll know once you try it."
Xu Xiyuan didn't doubt him and nodded. "Okay."
"Remember, after soaking, impurities will be expelled from your body. It's a normal reaction; just wash them off promptly."
"Mm."
After finishing his instructions, Wang Chen left with Chen Long and Tiger.
On the way back to the hotel, Wang Chen called Bai Li.
"A Li, I'm arriving in the Imperial Capital tomorrow."
"Really?" Bai Li's voice was filled with joy. "What time? I'll come pick you up!"
"The flight is at ten in the morning, arriving around eleven."
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you at the airport tomorrow!"
Hanging up the phone, Wang Chen leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Going to the Imperial Capital tomorrow to see Old Master Bai, he still needed to prepare some gifts.
"I still don't know what Old Master Bai likes. I forgot to ask A Li just now."
"Forget it, I'll ask tomorrow."
Ten o'clock the next morning.
At Tianjin International Airport, Wang Chen's private jet took off on time.
This time, his exclusive flight attendants were only the four of them: Lin Shuya, Xia Mo, Song Qinghe, and Lu Wan.
Xu Xiyuan stayed in Tianjin to accompany her mother in adapting to the new house.
After the plane took off, the four flight attendants began their service.
But today, Wang Chen clearly felt that their attitudes were a bit different.
"Mr. Wang, your coffee." Lin Shuya squatted beside him, handing him the coffee cup with both hands.
Her fingers lightly brushed against the back of Wang Chen's hand before she quickly withdrew them, her face slightly flushed.
Wang Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.
Today, all four of them were wearing flight attendant uniforms that really showed off their figures. Since she was squatting, Wang Chen could see her unfathomable... at a glance. Lin Shuya met Wang Chen's gaze and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
"Mr. Wang, here is today's freshest fruit." Xia Mo walked over, bending down to place the fruit plate on the small table.
On the uniform shirt she wore today, the top two buttons were undone. When she bent over, a glimpse of snowy white was faintly visible.
Wang Chen looked away and picked up a cherry from the fruit plate. "Thank you."
"You're welcome~" Xia Mo's voice was cloyingly sweet.
Song Qinghe and Lu Wan also gathered around.
One peeled fruit for him, while the other massaged his shoulders.
"Mr. Wang, is the pressure alright?" Lu Wan stood behind him, her small hands gently pressing on his shoulders.
"It's fine." Wang Chen felt a bit uncomfortable.
This service... was a bit over the top.
He could roughly guess the reason.
It was definitely the matter with Xu Xiyuan that had given these four girls ideas.
However, he didn't have any intentions of 'eating' them for the time being.
Let nature take its course!
During the short one-hour flight, Wang Chen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Having finally endured until the plane landed, he practically fled from the aircraft.
Imperial Capital International Airport.
Bai Li was already waiting at the exit of the VIP passage.
Today, she wore a black dress with a hemline reaching her knees and a pair of black mid-calf boots, looking both beautiful and dashing.
"Brother Chen!" Seeing Wang Chen, she immediately waved.
Wang Chen walked over, and Bai Li naturally linked her arm with his.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"Not long, just half an hour." Bai Li looked over the four flight attendants behind him. "Eh? Where's Xi Yuan?"
"She stayed in Tianjin to accompany her mother."
"Oh." Bai Li didn't ask further. "Let's go, I've already booked the hotel."
