Pampered by the Rich: Wife Smashes Him on the Head

Chapter 130 Attorney Zhang's Blind Date

Chapter 130 Attorney Zhang's Blind Date

They were frugal their whole lives, even keeping their home's decor simple, because of their work and fearing that extravagance would invite criticism.

"Money should be spent once it's earned. You can't take it with you when you die, so why be so frugal? You're all about to retire, so why don't you come live with me in the capital?" This place is too big, and living alone is quite lonely, unlike No. 8 next door, which is lively and bustling.

"Aunties and uncles are here?" Lu Qianqian brought out some fruit from the kitchen. "These things were prepared a long time ago, please have some."

However, the four elders were stunned when they looked at Lu Qianqian, including Ran Wenqi, whose expression also changed slightly.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Liangzhi immediately realized that these people had misunderstood, and explained, "This is Mrs. Lu from villa number 8 next door. She came to help out today because I can't cook..."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood, and smiles returned to their faces. Mr. Zhang said, "Thank you so much. Liangzhi is here, thank you for taking care of him."

"It's nothing," Lu Qianqian said with a smile. "I have a lot of people in my family, and we prepare plenty of food. One more person won't make a difference."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Lu Qianqian returned to the kitchen to help Qi Tiao.

Rong Changqing will arrive around mealtime, and it's said that Lu Yunxi will also be there.

Ran Wenqi turned her gaze away from Lu Qianqian. So she's already married. That's good.

As expected, those living in the imperial palace are all noblewomen. Look at their clothes and appearance, it's truly enviable, and their skin is so smooth.

She couldn't bear to buy even a decent skincare product, since rent in Beijing was too expensive.

"Brother Liangzhi, you're a lawyer, how can you earn so much money?" She really wanted to ask Zhang Liangzhi about his income.

The two parents next to them seemed quite familiar with the two children, and their conversation appeared to be going well, so they both sipped their tea with smiles.

Zhang Liangzhi glanced at her indifferently, then said, "The Imperial Palace is not for sale to the public."

"Ok?"

"So, I just live here, but I don't have a property certificate."

"Huh?" Ran Wenqi was very surprised. What was this?

"The house isn't yours," she said disappointedly. What was this then? Was she just showing off?

“It’s definitely not mine.” Zhang Liangzhi nodded, admitting it without any embarrassment, and then pointed to Lu Qianqian in the kitchen, “Yes, it’s Mrs. Lu’s house.”

"..." Ran Wenqi was very disappointed. Why did this happen?

Ran's father also felt puzzled and asked, "Liangzhi, are you planning to buy a house in the capital?"

When it comes to marriage, the first thing is housing; you can't keep living in other houses forever.

"No," Zhang Liangzhi shook his head. "Money can be used for investment. If I just buy a house and wait for it to appreciate, the profit will grow too slowly. Besides, I have a place to live, so I don't need to buy one!"

“But it’s someone else’s place after all,” Ran’s father disagreed.

Mr. Zhang nodded in agreement: “No matter the size, you only feel at ease living in a house you own. Although your place is luxurious, it doesn’t feel real.”

Zhang Liangzhi thought for a moment and asked, "If Mom and Dad come to the capital to retire, do they not want to live in this house?"

"Yes," Mr. Zhang nodded. "After all, it's not our own. What if we break something?"

“Alright.” Zhang Liangzhi nodded. Although he couldn’t understand his parents’ thinking, he didn’t interfere too much because they lived in different times and naturally had different ideas. “I’ll have the second young master sell the house to me.”

Suddenly, Ran Wenqi's eyes lit up again, and she asked impatiently, "How much should a house like this cost?"

"The total indoor area is over 600 square meters, with three floors and a 100-square-meter garden. Based on the land prices in Beijing, this apartment would cost at least 100 million yuan."

"Oh my god, Liangzhi-gege, you're so rich."

“No,” Zhang Liangzhi poured cold water on her decision again, “I will choose a mortgage.”

After all, money depreciates when you take out a mortgage for thirty or forty years.

Ran Wenqi felt like her heart was on a roller coaster. Zhang Liangzhi was just a lawyer, where would he get 100 million?

Moreover, the down payment alone is quite daunting.

“The down payment could buy an apartment outright outside, why spend this money?” Mrs. Zhang said. “This place is too big and too expensive.”

Ran Wenqi glanced cautiously at Zhang's mother. In truth, she preferred the Imperial Palace, since houses there were incredibly rare and expensive.

“There’s no need to discuss the housing issue. I’m used to living here and don’t plan to move,” Zhang Liangzhi said to his parents.

At this moment, Lu Qianqian stood at the doorway in the kitchen, munching on a cucumber, eavesdropping on the conversation in the living room.

"By the way, will the Second Young Master sell it?" Lu Qianqian asked Qi Tiao with a doubt.

Seven answers: "Theoretically speaking, no!"

"How do I buy Attorney Zhang's services?"

"Coercion and temptation!"

"Huh?" Lu Qianqian's eyes widened as she looked at Qi Tiao. "Second Young Master can be threatened?"

"Of course!" Seven nodded, revealing all of his boss's dirty secrets. "It's said that Attorney Zhang has an embarrassing picture of the Second Young Master when he was drunk back in his school days, which is the only thing Attorney Zhang has against him!"

"I see!"

Lu Qianqian took a big bite of the cucumber. She had to think of a way to steal back the embarrassing picture of the second young master, otherwise her man's reputation would be ruined!

Inside the living room, the conversation continued. Both sets of parents hoped the two children could get married, so Zhang's mother took the initiative to ask.

"Qiqi, what do you think? Do you want to continue this relationship with my Liangzhi?"

Ran Wenqi blushed and glanced at Zhang Liangzhi, then lowered her head and said, "Brother Liangzhi is a good guy, but we need to have a house before we get married."

This once again illustrates the importance of housing.

"Of course, Liangzhi already agreed," Zhang's mother replied with a smile.

Ran Wenqi put it very subtly, but what she really wanted was for the house to be registered in her name, and in her name alone!

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Her mother saw through it at a glance and said, "When these two get married, the house must be registered in both names."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "That's only right."

Mother Ran was satisfied with this.

Ran Wenqi was not satisfied; she wanted her own name, but felt it wasn't appropriate to ask for so many names on their first meeting.

Seeing this, Zhang's mother asked Zhang Liangzhi, "Liangzhi, what do you think?"

Zhang Liangzhi didn't rush to answer, but looked at Ran Wenqi and asked, "Miss Ran, what did you study in college?"

Ran Wenqi lowered her head and answered softly, "I studied e-commerce."

Which university? What is your highest degree?

“Ancheng Normal University, Bachelor’s degree.”

“Miss Ran, we probably don’t have much in common,” Zhang Liangzhi said. “It might be difficult for us to get along in the future.”

The rejection was obvious.

Both sets of parents were stunned again, and Ran Wenqi was also completely dumbfounded.
