Chapter 156: Stupid people have too much money
After packing everything up, Lin Xixing rushed to Fu Wenyuan's house.
The elderly couple, Fu Wenyuan and his wife, sat on the sofa, feeling extremely uncomfortable, constantly looking out the window. "Why hasn't Xiaoxi arrived yet?"
Wu Jingshu had been preparing for a long time and was also very anxious, but she still comforted him, saying, "I guess the house isn't finished being cleaned yet."
Just then, Fu Wenyuan spotted a figure in the distance through the window, skipping and hopping towards them. He immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Coming! Coming! Quick, sit down!"
Wu Jingshu patted his straight back and said, "What are you nervous about? Just act like usual."
As a result, I sat up even more upright.
The door opened, and a small figure appeared in the doorway. Before Lin Xi could say anything, the elderly couple, as if they had rehearsed it, exclaimed in unison, "Oh! Xiao Xi, what brings you here?"
Looking at her master and mistress's identical smiling expressions and surprised tones, Lin Xi felt something was off for some reason, but she didn't think much of it. Like a little butterfly, she rushed into Wu Jingshu's arms and said with a bright smile, "Master, mistress, I have good news to tell you!"
Fu Wenyuan looked expectant, and Wu Jingshu feigned curiosity, asking, "Oh? What's the good news?"
"I passed the grade skipping exam and will go straight to the first year of high school!"
"Wow, our Xiaoxi is amazing! Which high school does she go to?"
"Teacher's wife, it's Danbei No.1 Middle School."
Wu Jingshu covered her mouth in surprise, "Isn't that nearby?"
Fu Wenyuan looked excited and followed up with, "So you're moving to the city?"
"Yes, sir, this is my second surprise. We've already moved in. Can you guess where it is?"
Looking at his little apprentice's mysterious and adorable appearance, Fu Wenyuan chuckled inwardly. "We already knew," he thought, but he deliberately guessed wrong. "Could it be next to No. 1 Middle School?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "Hehe, right and wrong."
Then, she eagerly pulled Fu Wenyuan and Wu Jingshu up, "Master and Mistress, come on, come on, I'll take you to see my new home, I guarantee you'll be amazed."
The elderly couple had been waiting for this moment for so long, and they hurriedly got up, looking even more anxious than Lin Xi.
Stepping out the door, Lin Xi led the way, constantly turning back to look at her master and mistress, waiting for them to ask her, "How do I get to this place?"
Then he added, "My new home is in this neighborhood."
They'll be so surprised they won't be able to close their mouths.
But the more he looked, the more something seemed off, and his expression changed from anticipation to confusion.
Having walked this far, the two of them had no doubts whatsoever, even though this was clearly the opposite direction from the exit of the residential area!
She deliberately slowed her pace to match theirs. "Master, my grandma brought the big iron pot from home. What would you like to eat today? Chicken or goose?"
Fu Wenyuan immediately said, "Of course it's goose, with some potatoes and vermicelli inside, it's sticky and delicious, and you can have a few sips of wine too. Oh dear, I should have brought some wine."
When food was mentioned, Fu Wenyuan couldn't help but chuckle at the thought that he could go to the Lin family's house for a free meal anytime he wanted.
Lin Xi slowed down again, deliberately falling a few paces behind. "It's alright, Master, I'll come back for you in a bit."
"Yeah, yeah, anyway, it's close by."
"Madam, what would you like to eat?"
Wu Jingshu had long been led astray. The once pure and abstinent woman now had Lin Guiying's mushroom and cabbage stew with vermicelli in her mind, and that's what she thought and said.
The two were so engrossed in food that they didn't notice Lin Xi walking behind them until they were almost at Lin Xi's house and smelled the unique aroma of her food. They then snapped out of their daze and immediately stopped.
Lin Xi stepped forward with a meaningful smile, "Master and Mistress, why aren't you leaving?"
Wu Jingshu nudged Fu Wenyuan with her elbow, and Fu Wenyuan laughed awkwardly a few times, "Hehehe, Xiaoxi, look at you, you were only thinking about food, how did you end up here? Weren't we going to see your new house? This isn't the exit of the community."
Lin Xi pointed to her front door, "Master, this is my new home. You even led me here; you know the way better than I do."
Fu Wenyuan's mind raced, and he finally came up with an excuse, "Hey, what a coincidence! Your teacher's wife and I take a walk in the neighborhood every night, and we always walk this way. It's become a habit. We always head this way as soon as we go out, hahaha."
Wu Jingshu chimed in, "Yes, I didn't expect you to buy this house. That's great! We live in the same neighborhood, so it will be much more convenient to visit each other in the future."
Lin Xi felt that the two of them already knew about this, but had no evidence, so she asked directly, "Master, Mistress, did you see me move?"
Just as the two were wondering what to say, Lin Guiying opened the door at the opportune moment, "What are you doing? Why don't you come in?"
After saying that, he pulled Wu Jingshu into the house, introducing as they went, "Jingshu, let me tell you, we've really gotten a great deal this time. Look at this decoration, this furniture, it's all free!"
Look at this huge refrigerator and TV, wow, it's so high-end! And this carpet, it's brand new, I almost don't want to step on it. And this huge oven, I don't even know how to use it yet.
See that? There's even a dishwasher! I've never seen one before. I never knew rich people didn't have to wash their own dishes..."
Lin Guiying became more and more excited as she talked, and Wu Jingshu was overjoyed to see that she was very satisfied with the furniture and appliances she had chosen.
It wasn't until Lin Guiying talked about where the house came from that she said, "To be honest, although I took a big advantage of him and I'm very grateful to him, I, as an old lady, really can't understand how someone could just give up something so expensive. Isn't that just being foolish and having too much money?"
They say the richer you are, the stingier you become, but this tycoon is incredibly generous. We wanted to thank him properly, but he wouldn't even give us his contact information.
If we don't know them, we can enjoy it without any guilt. But if we do know them, I'll have to say something. They're such spendthrifts; even if they have money, they shouldn't waste it like this..."
Wu Jingshu's lips twitched as she listened. She would never let Guiying know that she was that rich, foolish, and extravagant tycoon.
Fu Wenyuan tried his best to avoid his little apprentice's gaze. He felt like he was about to be exposed. Fortunately, his little apprentice just stared at him and didn't pry.
Feeling awkward, Fu Wenyuan put on his master's airs and started testing his apprentice's homework. He didn't stop until the meal was ready, then he rushed to the table as if he were escaping.
He thought the matter was over, but Fu Wenyuan was in a good mood today and drank a few more glasses of wine. He drunkenly patted Lin Guojun on the shoulder and said, "Guojun, wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom first. When I come back, we'll continue drinking, brother!"
Lin Guojun stood up unsteadily. "Come on, I'll take you there. This house is huge; you won't be able to find it."
Fu Wenyuan pressed Lin Guojun down into his seat. "Hey, I don't need you. I know this house better than you do."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jingshu wanted to slap the old man. Just as she was about to explain, Lin Xi grabbed her and said, "Master's wife, please sit down. Let me see if Master is talking nonsense or if he really knows the words."
