Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After putting all the supplies into her Space, Mao Xiaoyu locked the warehouse door and hailed a cab to head to the shopping center.

She was going to settle her dinner and go on a shopping spree.

On the way, Mao Xiaoyu entered a few restaurants. While she was filling her stomach, she also packed a portion of all her favorite food.

Then, it was shopping. Mao Xiaoyu not only bought a lot of daily necessities for herself, she even bought baby products.

She planned to give birth to a little child to keep her company when things settled down. As for the little child’s father, she planned to talk about it when the time came.

In the end, Mao Xiaoyu returned to the hotel she was staying in, and she was exhausted.

Just as she was about to take a break and drink some water, her phone rang.

“Hey, Brother Mian!” Mao Xiaoyu put her phone on speaker mode and sat on the sofa.

“We have news on the house, 50 million!” Zhong Mian went straight to the point.

“That’s great! Thank you, Brother Mian.” Mao Xiaoyu’s face lit up.

“When are you coming back to do the procedures?” Zhong Mian asked.

“I’m flying tomorrow afternoon. I’ll go back the day after tomorrow. We’ll hand over the house and the money,” Mao Xiaoyu said.

There were still some old objects in the ancestral home. Mao Xiaoyu planned to pack up some sentimental items and take them away.

“Alright, I’ll see you at the ancestral house the day after tomorrow.” Zhong Mian went straight to the point.

After that, the two of them hung up the phone. Mao Xiaoyu even ran to the bathtub to take a bath.

…

Two days later.

Early in the morning, Mao Xiaoyu wore a white sweater and a pair of sweatpants as she sneaked back to the ancestral home.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhong Mian had not arrived yet, Mao Xiaoyu started to pack up her belongings.

She stuffed all the valuable items into her Space and left the other large items untouched. She planned to ask Zhong Mian to help her bring them back to her home in the Capital.

Looking at the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall, Mao Xiaoyu lit three cigarettes and inserted them into the incense burner.

“Elders of the Mao family, I am unfilial! Today, Xiaoyu is here to help everyone move!”

Mao Xiaoyu kowtowed three times, then knelt on the futon, waiting for the incense in the incense burner to finish burning.

After a while, Mao Xiaoyu kept all the memorial tablets in her Space.

“Mao Xiaoyu…” A young male voice came from outside the courtyard.

“They’re here!” Mao Xiaoyu quickly ran towards the main door.

“Brother Mian, didn’t the buyer come?” Mao Xiaoyu looked around and only saw Zhong Mian standing alone outside the door.

“It’s not convenient for him to show his face now, so he’s given me full authority.” Zhong Mian shook the contract in his hand.

Mao Xiaoyu nodded and let Zhong Mian in.

The two of them sat in the courtyard and signed the agreement. Zhong Mian immediately made a phone call, and in a short while, 40 million was transferred to Mao Xiaoyu’s bank account.

“He doesn’t have enough cash. He’ll give you the other 10 million in gold,” Zhong Mian explained.

“Alright.” Mao Xiaoyu nodded.

Zhong Mian stood up. “Wait a moment. I’ll go get the gold and send you back to the Capital.”

“Get a few more vehicles, I want to take away the things in the house,” Mao Xiaoyu said.

“Alright!” Zhong Mian did not turn back and walked out of the Mao family’s ancestral home.

…

Half a day later, at Mao Xiaoyu’s home in the Capital.

Looking at the furniture in the room, Mao Xiaoyu let out a sigh of relief.

“Brother Mian, sit down and rest for a while. I’ll pour you some tea,” Mao Xiaoyu said politely.

“No need. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. I still have something to do at home today.” Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zhong Mian was also relieved.

Mao Xiaoyu could only nod. “Alright, I’ll treat you to a meal another day.”

Zhong Mian rubbed the top of Mao Xiaoyu’s head, then waved goodbye. “Call me if you need anything!”

After closing the main door, Mao Xiaoyu waved her hand and kept all the items she brought from the ancestral home into her Space.

“Sell the house, sell the house, continue.” Immediately after, Mao Xiaoyu found a few property ownership certificates. She planned to get rid of all the properties.

After looking for a real estate agent, Mao Xiaoyu put up the few houses she owned. She only had one request, and that was to pay in full. The price could be slightly lower.

After negotiating with the agent, Mao Xiaoyu returned to buying mode.

Every day, she would either receive express deliveries or buy things. Anyway, she was very happy.

She even went out a few times, all because she cooperated with the transfer of ownership after the house was sold.

After that, the money in her bank account increased.

Mao Xiaoyu even made two trips to the bank and spent most of her money on gold, leaving only a small amount of cash.

Ring!

“Hello, who’s this?” Mao Xiaoyu picked up the phone.

“Miss Mao, a client has taken a fancy to the villa you’re staying in. Can we look at the house today?” the real estate agent asked with a smile.

“Alright, bring him over,” Mao Xiaoyu said happily.

“Alright, alright, see you later, Miss Mao.” The real estate agent hung up the phone.

Mao Xiaoyu could not help but smile. She shook her head and lay on the sofa to continue her shopping.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rang.

Mao Xiaoyu opened the door and nodded at the two people outside. “Please come in.”

The client was a nouveau riche-like man. After the agent brought him around, the client nodded in satisfaction. “I want this house!”

He had already learned the price of the house on the way here. The main reason was that there was not a single house in this villa area in a year. He was lucky today, so he had no intention of bargaining at all.

“Mr. Zhu, the owner asked for the full payment!” the agent reminded him in a low voice.

“No problem, but I have one condition. Leave all the furniture behind.” The nouveau riche was stunned for a moment. In the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

He was a nouveau riche. As for taste, he had no taste at all. On the other hand, Mao Xiaoyu’s house was designed by a top designer. It looked very luxurious and high-end.

“Miss Mao, what do you think?”

“Sure, Mr. Zhu. I have a presumptuous request. I’ll be staying in this house for about a month. Don’t worry, I’ll pay the rent. Is that okay?” Mao Xiaoyu asked.

“Sure!” The man had other houses to live in, so he agreed without hesitation.

The real estate agent was also very helpful. The transfer procedures were completed in a few days.

When it was almost time to hand over the house, Mao Xiaoyu stopped buying online. she started to be active in all the major shopping malls and supermarkets in the Capital.

That day, Mao Xiaoyu bought all sorts of things and found an open-air café to rest.

“Oh, isn’t that the Young Miss of the Mao family? Why did I hear that she sold all her assets?” A strange female voice suddenly sounded.

“That’s right. She’s such a prodigal child. Isn’t she afraid that our ancestors will come to haunt her in the middle of the night?” another girl said jealously.

How much money would she make if he sold all those houses?

“Mao Xiaoyu, I didn’t expect you to be so crazy. Did you really suffer a shock and become mentally unstable?” Lin Meier had sunglasses on. She sat opposite Mao Xiaoyu as if they were close friends.

Lin Meier was the eldest daughter of the reclusive Lin family. She never liked Mao Xiaoyu, even though they knew each other since they were young.
