Chapter 732 — Don't You Ever Do That to Me Again

"Xiao Yi, Yun'er, what do you two think? What kind of floor plan should we go for?" Mother Tang could not make up her mind either. Choosing the building earlier had been easy enough — on the scale model, which spot was good and which was not was plain at a glance, and the building she had settled on was one of the better-placed ones without being too expensive, a point on which she and Tang Yun saw eye to eye.

It was just that within this single building there were several floor plans, and which plan to take, and which floor, all had to be discussed.

Mother Tang had set out in high spirits, assuming that buying a house was easy — pick one, pay the money, done. But standing here now, she discovered that buying a house was not so easy after all; at the very least, her eyes were swimming.

Every floor had its own virtues! The first floor could be used for business later on; the second and third were convenient for climbing stairs once one got older; the fourth and fifth were the golden floors; and the sixth and seventh were cheaper with a better view...

It really was impossible to choose!

"How about a three-bedroom, one-living-room unit?" Wei Zhao glanced at the floor plan, then suggested, "This section here looks good, doesn't it?"

Seeing Mother Tang's indecision, Wei Zhao simply came right out and suggested it.

"That works too, let's take this section then. All the units in this section are a hundred and twenty square meters — isn't that a bit large?" Mother Tang was afraid a bigger place meant a bigger price.

"Auntie, if you've set your heart on this section, you'd best act quickly — there's only the third floor left here, everything else is sold!" the salesgirl said. "That goes to show what a fine layout it is. Everyone's judgment can't be wrong!"

"What! Only the third floor left?" Mother Tang was startled, and a nervousness rose in her heart. These houses sold too fast! For a moment she wanted to settle on one, yet she could not bring herself to decide — after all, this was a great matter, and in all her life she had never made such a decision.

"Let's just take the third floor. The light's decent, and it's easy to get up and down," Wei Zhao said with a smile.

"Uh... all right, the third floor it is. We'll take this one!" Mother Tang nodded. "Can we go and see the finished unit?"

"Of course, no problem at all. Please come with me!" The salesgirl nodded, then called out to the other customers nearby: "Anyone else want to see the quality of the finished units? I'm heading over now — anyone who wants to come along, follow me!"

"We'll go too!" Boss Wu, the bald man from before, came over hauling his little mistress along, his face a mask of arrogance.

In front of all these eyes, he was no longer afraid of Wei Zhao. There were security guards aplenty here — surely Wei Zhao would not dare raise a hand against anyone? And if he did, he would make certain the man rued it! With his own influence in Songshan City reaching into both the black world and the white, could he not crush a kid who drove a van?

Seeing the bald Boss Wu come along to join the fun, Wei Zhao paid him no mind. A faint curl of mockery touched the corner of his mouth. If the man wanted to tag along and look, let him; he had no reason to drive off someone who had come here to hand Fatty Lai his money.

The group left the sales office with the salesgirl and climbed onto a battery cart used specially within the development. The bald Boss Wu's lecherous eyes slid over Tang Yun, then darted an envious glance at Wei Zhao, thinking: a girl this beautiful, and she's been monopolized by that penniless brat — Heaven truly is blind!

Then he looked at the little mistress beside him, and she was plainly more than one rank below. Comparing people really could kill a man with rage. If Tang Yun were his mistress, never mind an apartment — he would buy her a villa!

The bald Boss Wu pondered how he might show off his strength before Tang Yun in a moment. It had to be said that the bald Boss Wu was a keen judge of people, for he had seen that Tang Yun's mother was a textbook money-grubbing woman; offer her profit enough, and Mother Tang would surely talk her daughter into going along with him.

So long as his own strength was great enough, and he made that little bastard Wei Zhao eat dirt, then in the end he would surely carry off the beauty.

At this thought, the bald Boss Wu was greatly delighted, and the hand holding his mistress grew restless. And the mistress was a flirtatious creature too, gasping and moaning right there on the battery cart, until both the salesgirl and Tang Yun were scarlet to the ears. What is wrong with this man? they thought. Has he no sense of shame? If you want to grope, do it at home — why grope here?

Wei Zhao squeezed Tang Yun's hand and smiled slightly. Tang Yun flushed all the deeper, shot him a glare, and said in a low voice, "You're not allowed to treat me like that in the future!"

"Heh... you're not the same as her. The woman beside that bald man is only a bit of fun." Wei Zhao saw it very clearly.

"Then me — you're not just having your fun with me and letting it go at that?" Tang Yun felt a little anxious. Though she had long since known the answer in her heart, the eldest miss, Shen Yushu, Guan Xin, and even Qiu Lingshan and all the rest of her rivals kept her from ever feeling secure.

"With me, playing doesn't count as playing." Wei Zhao smiled.

"You're awful, saying it so horribly!" Tang Yun had gotten the answer she wanted, and pouted coyly.

The bald Boss Wu watched Wei Zhao and Tang Yun billing and cooing up in front, and envy burned in him. Damn it all, he simply had to get that girl into his hands!

Mother Tang's head was full of visions of the house. She was deaf to the sounds of the bald Boss Wu flirting with his mistress, and heard nothing of the whispers between her daughter and Wei Zhao either; her whole mind was fixed on the surroundings of the development and the house itself.

There were developments as beautiful as this? Mother Tang stared wide-eyed at the landscaping. Compared with the shantytown of before, it was a hundred times, a thousand times better! There were little parks, pavilions, a man-made lake, and the houses were built so beautifully too! If she could live in a place like this from now on, would she not at once become a rich woman? A woman of class?

"Here we are, this is the one!" The salesgirl parked the battery cart in front of a handsome building.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Mother Tang gazed at the building before her, liking it more the longer she looked. "You can even see the park down below from way up here? That's really something!"

"That's right, which is why this building sold so fast — and this kind of large unit is in especially high demand! There's only the third floor left now. If you've set your sights on it, hurry and sign the contract, or someone else may snatch it up in another moment!" The salesgirl nodded as she spoke.

Roused by the salesgirl's words, Mother Tang grew a little anxious in her heart. She nodded. "Then let's go up and look first!"

"Hubby, it's so pretty here — buy it for me?" The mistress, who until now had said nothing, chose this moment to wheedle at the bald Boss Wu.

"Yes, yes, if you like it, of course I'll buy it for you! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!" said the bald Boss Wu, putting on airs. He wanted Mother Tang and Tang Yun to see what real strength looked like — follow him, and you would eat rich and drink well, and have whatever you desired!
