Chapter 218 – Buying a car and apartmen (2/2)

Yu Meixia pushed the receipt to Dong Xuebing. “This is the receipt. You…”

“Leave it with you first.”

It was about noon when they got home. Yu Qianqian is in the living room, drinking a can of Coke. “Mum, Big Brother, where did you all go? I am hungry.”

Dong Xuebing replied with a heavy heart. “We went to buy an apartment.”

Yu Qianqian’s eyes got bigger. “Buy an apartment? Big Brother, don’t you have an apartment now?”

Yu Meixia wiped her daughter’s face gently. “The apartment your Big Brother is living now belongs to his unit.”

Dong Xuebing sat down on the sofa and waved them over. “Qianqian, Sister Yu, come over. I have something to speak to you all.” The mother and daughter pair walked over, and Dong Xuebing continued. “You all go and pack your things, and you two will move to Hua Mei estate today.”

Yu Meixia was shocked. “How can we do this?! We… renting a room is enough!”

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “Sister Yu, I will give you this apartment, and this is also the last time I help you.”

Yu Meixia shook her hands. “No… no… we cannot accept any more things from you. That apartment is almost 400,000 RMB. I…”

Dong Xuebing interrupted her. “Sit down and listen to me. Sister Yu, I am much younger than you, and I should not be telling you this. But… at your age, and Qianqian is still young. It’s not easy to bring her up alone. You should also find a partner. Erm… that Officer from the household registration department is on good terms with you, right? You should decide for yourself. If you think that man is good to you and Qianqian, you two should be together.”

Yu Meixia was about to burst into tears. “No… Chief Dong… it’s not like this!”

Dong Xuebing interrupted her again. “Being my helper is not a long term solution, and you should live your own life. That man is still living with his parents and doesn’t have his own house? If you two decided to be together, you all could live there after you all got married. Just treat that apartment as a wedding gift from me. Oh, I will help you find another job sometime later. If you got married, you should stop working as a helper.”

Although Dong Xuebing was not willing, he still respected Yu Meixia’s decision. Everyone who knew Dong Xuebing knows that he treats his friends and relatives well, even better than treating himself. He had considered about Yu Meixia’s future. With an apartment, a husband, and a new job, she should not be suffering in the future.

Yu Qianqian’s eyes turned red. “Mum! Do we have to go?”

Yu Meixia bit her lower lips and was holding back her tears.

Yu Qianqian looked at Dong Xuebing and held her mother’s arm. “Mum! I… I don’t want to go! Can we stay here?” Yu Qianqian had not met that Officer from the household registration department, but she knew that no one would treat her better than Chief Dong. She loves this place and likes this Big Brother.

Yu Meixia gritted her teeth and said. “Chief Dong, I don’t want other jobs. I… I will be your helper for the rest of my life.”

Dong Xuebing laughed. “How can you say this? How can you still be my helper after you get married? This is not right.”

“I… I will not get married again! That officer and I… we are not together! Really!”

“Then what if you find yourself a man in the future? Listen to me and accept that apartment. Anyway, that house is under your name, and you can stay there after you get married.” Dong Xuebing was afraid he might stop her from leaving. “Alright. Go and pack your things.”

Yu Qianqian panicked. “Mum! Mum!”

Dong Xuebing patted Yu Qianqian’s head. “Qianqian, be good. I will visit you when I am free.”

Yu Meixia could not hold back her tears any longer and cried!

Dong Xuebing could feel her heartache. “Sister Yu, don’t be like this. It’s not that we are bidding farewell forever.”

Yu Meixia cried even louder. “Chief Dong… Sob… That officer and I are not together… Sob… I don’t feel anything towards him… he is the one courting me… I… Sob… I don’t know how to reject him… Sob… I don’t have any intentions to get married again… I had never even thought about this… Sob… I don’t want that apartment… I don’t want anything…”

Dong Xuebing quickly wiped the tears off Yu Meixia’s face. “Don’t cry… It’s my fault… I apologize, ok?”

Yu Meixia wiped her tears and said. “Please believe me… I don’t have anything to do with him!”

Dong Xuebing was feeling troubled. He smiled. “Alright… I believe you. Stop crying. Don’t let your daughter laugh at you.”

“Sob… I want to rent a room outside is… is because Sister Luan told me… Sob… told me that you are involved in a lot of troubles… and you even force the County’s Party Secretary to leave. Sister Luan is afraid that… Sob… someone might use Qianqian and me as an excuse to spread rumors about you… and it might affect your career… She wants us to move over to her apartment… Sob… I know you offended a lot of people because of me… and I don’t want to create any more problems for you… that’s why I want to rent a room outside… Sob… I don’t want to move out… I want to stay here!”

Dong Xuebing realized that he had misunderstood Yu Meixia. Yu Meixia did not want to move out because she wants more privacy. It’s his mother who is afraid he might get into more trouble. After the incident where Dong Xuebing smashed the Mercedes during his cousin’s wedding, his mother was worried he would get into more trouble. That’s why she wants Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian to move in with her!

Ah! What a blunder!

Dong Xuebing used his sleeves to wipe Yu Meixia’s tears and console her. “Alright. If you don’t want to leave, just stay. You can stay as long as you want.”

Yu Meixia shook her head. “I cannot give you more problems. Sob… I rent a room and live with Qianqian. But I will still work for you.”

Dong Xuebing stroked Yu Meixia’s long hair. “Alright, alright… just do what you want. Can you stop crying?”

Yu Meixia’s stopped sobbing after hearing Dong Xuebing’s reply. “Then I will come over every day to cook and clean up the house for you, and will return to the rented room at night.”

Dong Xuebing nodded.

Yu Meixia finally stopped crying and wiped her tears with a paper napkin.

Dong Xuebing shook his head helplessly. Crying, throwing tantrums are women’s weapons against men. He had finally experienced it today. After Yu Meixia calms down, Dong Xuebing said. “Sister Yu, we had paid for the apartment, and we can’t ask for a refund. Let’s move to Hua Mei Estate together. We will still be living together, and no one will gossip about me there. I return to this apartment to stay once in a while. What do you think of this?”

Yu Meixia blushed. “I…, I will listen to you.”

Yu Qianqian cheered and hugged her mother.

Yu Meixia looked at Dong Xuebing. “But that apartment must be under your name.”

“I said that is my present to you. If you get married in the future, the apartment…” Dong Xuebing stopped when he saw Yu Meixia’s eyes turning red again. “We should also think about Qianqian. Even if you don’t want it, you can keep it as Qianqian’s dowry.”

Yu Qianqian lowered her head shyly and mumbled something.

Yu Meixia looked at her daughter and wiped her tears gratefully. “Thank you. I will earn money to repay you.”

“What’s there to repay? That apartment is my gift to Qianqian, and it’s not for you. Hahaha.”

Yu Meixia is already homeless, and her biggest worry is her daughter. She could no longer refuse Dong Xuebing’s apartment as she needs to consider for her daughter’s future. After Qianqian grows up, she will also get married and need her own house.

Dong Xuebing was satisfied with this outcome. He smiled and said. “Let’s pack up and move to our new apartment!”

Yu Qianqian ran back to her room, excitedly to pack.

As Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian were packing, Dong Xuebing walked to the balcony and called his mother. “Mum, I just bought an apartment for Sister Yu. It’s at Hua Mei Estate. Errr… but Yu Qianqian misses me, and I might stay there for a few days when I am free.” He is the one who misses them and doesn’t want them to leave. But he cannot tell his mother this.

Night.

Hua Mei Estate.

Yu Qianqian was still excited about the new apartment. She had been going in and out of every room since the afternoon.

Yu Meixia was also in a good mood. After being homeless for so long, she finally got her place.

Dong Xuebing had thought of buying an apartment for Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian sometime ago. He is still confused about whether Qu Yunxuan or Xie Huilan is his girlfriend, but he knows that if either one of them comes to visit him, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian cannot be at his family quarters apartment. He will be seeking death if he let them remain there. In other words, this mother and daughter pair are time bombs, and Qu Yunxuan and Xie Huilan must not meet them. Now, with the new apartment for them, Dong Xuebing felt safer.

With it comes to relationships, Dong Xuebing is troubled and doesn’t know what to do. Since he doesn’t know what to do, he decided to stop thinking about it and enjoy his life now.

“Big Brother, where should I place this vase?” Yu Qianqian carried a big vase over.

Dong Xuebing laughed. “You are the owner of this apartment. You can decide for yourself.”

“Oh… Then I will place it beside the TV console!”

Yu Meixia was afraid her daughter might break the vase and went over to help her. “Be careful.”

Dong Xuebing also rolled up his sleeves and went over to help.

The apartment is fully equipped with furniture, but the home appliances will only be delivered tomorrow. Now, they can only shift the furniture around to their liking. After a while, all 3 of them sat on the sofa, panting. Yu Meixia took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Dong Xuebing’s forehead, and Yu Qianqian is hugging Dong Xuebing’s arm.

Dong Xuebing smiled blissfully and wrapped his arms around Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian’s waists. He stood up and brought them to the room. “I have bought an apartment, and now, I still need a car. Help me choose a car that suits me.”

Yu Meixia felt Dong Xuebing’s arm around her waist, and she blushed. She could feel Dong Xuebing is treating her as his family member, and she did not stop him. Since her parents’ death and after her husband got addicted to gambling, she does not have this warm feeling again.

Dong Xuebing had a grin on his face. His Auction Company’s total assets are worth close to 10 million, and he can be considered a millionaire. But all this while, he couldn’t feel any changes. Having an apartment and a car will be a significant change in his lifestyle. After all, these are the things Dong Xuebing dreamed about four years ago.

A family, a house, a car, money, a good career…

Dong Xuebing felt his life had been fulfilled!
