Chapter 35: Chapter 35: A Real Eye-Opener
 

Apart from that, the comment section also displayed blessings from other people. But aside from those, there was another person looking at the official announcement who was clenching her teeth in anger!

That was Lin Yi’s ex-girlfriend, Li Jingwen.

Lin Yi gently hugged Han Xuewei and said earnestly, “Wifey, I can understand how you feel but this kind of thing should be dealt with by me because I need to be more responsible.”

“Mm.” Han Xuewei looked at her husband’s serious face and responded with a smile.

A few days later, her close girlfriend, Qin Xiaoxu, specially came over to see her!

Lin Yi had just arranged to take his three roommates out for a big meal, which also gave the ladies some space to themselves.

“Oh my! I’ve never seen a mansion of four hundred square meters! I wonder if I’ll ever have such luck! Even the laundry room is so big! Wow, is the balcony really this spacious? A balcony is enough to dry clothes for the whole family!”

Qin Xiaoxu exclaimed with amazement as she followed Han Xuewei around, looking here and there with surprise all over her face!

“It’s actually alright. There’s a small garden behind the house and a garage on the side. Though it’s said to be over four hundred square meters, the actual area is just barely four hundred,” Han Xuewei demurred.

“That’s already a lot, okay? This villa has several floors! Your living space is definitely more than four hundred square meters!” Qin Xiaoxu said excitedly.

“My goodness! I really can’t believe it—some people are even saying that Lin Yi went bankrupt at home! Nowadays, people really say anything, and it had me worried about you! I was afraid that you’d suffer, that you married for love but ended up wronging yourself! But I never expected that, after all this time, my worries were totally unnecessary!”

Watching her friend struggle to calm her emotions, Han Xuewei soothed her while leading her to the living room. Aunt Wang brought them afternoon tea, and then went off to clean.

Just then, Han Xuewei’s mother came downstairs with a smile and said, “Xiaoxu is here? You really should be thanked for taking such good care of our Vivi all the time. She always talks about you, and my, how beautiful you’re growing up to be!”

Qin Xiaoxu smiled and replied, “Hello, Auntie!”

Han Xuewei’s mother didn’t linger long; after a short chat, she went to water the flowers on the balcony.

The two girls hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and today, sitting together, they surely had endless topics to catch up on!

“I just can’t imagine it, Vivi, is your mom here just to take care of you?” Qin Xiaoxu asked enviously.

“Yes, both my parents and Lin Yi’s parents are going to move in. They’ve been a bit busy lately but will come over a month before the due date to take care of me. I’ve picked out the bedrooms for the babies and decided to let them stay on the second floor for convenience. The room next to it is perfect for the nanny, and the maternity matron will need one too. Then, we’ll clear out two rooms on the third floor for our parents,” Han Xuewei explained.

“I can’t believe it! Really, poverty limits one’s imagination! Your whole family is moving in!” Qin Xiaoxu was struggling to control her emotions!

“With the financial resources you have, when the three children grow up, wouldn’t it be nothing to buy each of them a house?”

“We’ll talk about that when the time comes. I’m only focused on the present right now; I have not thought that far ahead,” Han Xuewei said.

While she spoke, Han Xuewei’s face was overflowing with a joyful smile, and beside her, Qin Xiaoxu was beyond envious.

“What does Lin Yi do for work? Or is he just staying at home with you? Let me tell you, you can never let him live off his parents! It’s better to use your own money rather than your parents’. Men must have the ability to make money! As his wife, you must make sure he starts his own business to make money!”

After listening to her, Han Xuewei laughed and replied, “Don’t worry! Lin Yi isn’t like what you described; he has never lived off his parents, and he paid for this luxury house himself without even asking his family for money!”

“I heard that he had already bought this luxury house a year before we got married. I just moved in with my bags.”

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxu was shocked, her face incredulous, “Ah? He really bought it? Your husband is so amazing! I can’t believe he made so much money while studying in university; truly it’s in his genes, coming from a family that owns a company—the superior genes determine everything! Right, what does he do exactly? How can he afford a luxury house!”

Qin Xiaoxu suddenly became very interested, and in her view, it seemed an unbelievable thing, as most college students nowadays are still asking their parents for living expenses, yet here someone had bought a luxury house himself!

“I only know he’s into investments, buys and sells stocks and stuff like that, and he has made quite a lot during that time. Plus, his dad already owns a company, and although business was affected recently, it didn’t go bankrupt as everyone has been saying.”

As Han Xuewei talked, her expression turned a bit proud.

She was proud because she had married a good man!

Which woman wouldn’t be proud that her husband can make money?

“Alright, alright! Your face is about to split with all that smiling,” Qin Xiaoxu said, feigning annoyance.

“By the way, why did you two suddenly decide to get married? Who was the one to bring it up first?” Qin Xiaoxu suddenly recalled something, and asked.

“He was the one who proposed,” Han Xuewei said, a bit shyly.

She had nothing to hide from her close girlfriend, and so she narrated the whole story, from beginning to end.

The story left Qin Xiaoxu stunned, and she couldn’t help saying, “When luck comes, nothing can stop it! If it had been some other scumbag, the outcome might not have been the same! Aren’t you worried? Fortunately, this guy took responsibility for you, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

“Come on! Don’t be so loud, neither of our parents know about this yet, you absolutely mustn’t let my mom find out,” Han Xuewei hurriedly covered her friend’s mouth, making a shushing gesture.

The latter caught on, and her gaze lingered on the diamond ring on Han Xuewei’s finger.

The ring looked quite conventional, with a moderate size, and was very beautiful; it was the ring Lin Yi had used to propose.

Since that day, Han Xuewei had always worn that ring, but lately she had been gaining weight quite rapidly, her fingers had also grown thicker, so the ring felt a bit tight.

Han Xuewei noticed her friend’s look and extended her hand to show off, “Look, this is the engagement ring he bought for me. Lin Yi even said this one isn’t enough; after the baby is born, he wants to pick out a bigger one to serve as a wedding ring. Looks nice, doesn’t it? He bought it himself without telling me, and it looks so pretty.”

Qin Xiaoxu clicked her tongue, “Our campus beauty is blinded by love! I didn’t expect her to hang herself on a single tree before seeing the whole forest…”
