Chapter 23: Urban God-Level Tycoon System (23)

With the reward in hand, Xie Yang returned to the Zhou family home.

She discovered there were a few more people in the room; oh, Father Zhou had summoned his mahjong cronies, and he was still busy calling more people on his phone, terrified that if they were outnumbered, they would lose the argument.

The moment Xie Yang arrived, the scene instantly went silent as a chicken.

For no other reason than that half of the bodyguards Xie Yang had taken away had followed her back.

The sense of oppression was so strong that Father Zhou didn't even dare to speak loudly while calling for reinforcements.

Xie Yang pulled over a chair at the dining table and sat down, tapping her fingers on the tabletop: "I've watched you argue for ages without reaching a verdict, so why don't I say a few words, and you can see if it makes sense. First, the down payment for this house was paid by the Zhou Family, and Zhou Feng pays the mortgage, so legally it belongs to the Zhou Family, that's correct."

"Your words are the ones I find pleasant to hear," Mother Zhou immediately chimed in.

Xie Yang smiled: "Secondly, my sister bought groceries and cooked, covering the expenses for both her and Zhou Feng; the amount spent can still be calculated. At the same time, let's calculate the rent for this place, treating it as if my sister and Zhou Feng were sharing the rent, and split it as it should be split."

Mother Zhou immediately said: "The rent prices here at Longcui Green Residence are not low. It's a new residential complex with high-end renovations. For a three-bedroom apartment like ours, it's at least seven or eight thousand a month. If we really want to calculate rent from the time Rong Yue moved in until now, the food my son ate and the daily necessities he spent money on wouldn't even be enough to offset it!"

"You can't say it like that!"

Aunt Xie couldn't hold back and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Xie Shuling: "Big Sister, listen to what Yang Yang has to say first."

Xie Yang went online to check the average rent for the same layout in the same complex, then had Rong Yue calculate every cent she had spent on Zhou Feng.

Once the two accounts were settled, she put down her pen and instructed Xie Xufang: "Transfer three thousand six to the Zhou Family, and the two accounts will be considered offset."

Mother Zhou was triumphant upon hearing this: "I told you, Rong Yue living here, she was the one profiting."

Xie Yang nodded: "Next, let's continue calculating other things. Little Brother, check the local standard rates for hourly housekeepers, including three meals a day, laundry, and cleaning."

Aunt Xie, who had been so stifled she wanted to fight Mother Zhou, instantly perked up upon hearing this.

Xie Xufang was also delighted: "You got it, Sister, I'll check right now."

He reacted extremely quickly, searching for the largest local cleaning chain company, while chattering away to report:

"Just for three meals a day, the monthly fee starts from 5,000. I've eaten the meals my sister makes, the taste is quite good, and she puts real effort into it. Let's take a loss and use the median value, let's call it 7,500..."

"Purchasing daily necessities, cleaning, and washing clothes and bedsheets are charged by the hour. The current market price is 50 yuan/hour. Averaging 2 hours a day for 30 days a month, that's 3,000..."

"So, adding the two items together makes the monthly total. When calculating the rent just now, the Zhou Family calculated it based on eleven months, so let's also calculate based on eleven months, and round it up to 120,000!"

"Bullshit!" Mother Zhou was so anxious she started swearing, "How can you calculate it like that? Doesn't she eat herself?"

Xie Xufang raised his eyebrows: "Never mind whether my sister eats or not! I'm asking you, did your son eat?"

"..."

Mother Zhou was frightened back a few steps by Xie Xufang's momentum and muttered: "Th-that can't be calculated that way, you're already engaged..."

Xie Yang ignored Mother Zhou and continued: "Next, we should calculate the nutritional expenses for my sister's miscarriage."

"!!!"

"Originally, I thought we should also add a fee for the loss of youth," Xie Yang said, resting her chin on her hand.

"But thinking about it, your son also has his youth. Nowadays, we emphasize gender equality, so let's offset that item. But my sister had a miscarriage while unmarried; pregnancy isn't something that concerns only her, and she shouldn't have to bear the consequences alone when something goes wrong. What about your son? Doesn't he plan to step up and take responsibility?

Never mind, it doesn't matter if he comes or not; in any case, my sister likely doesn't want this person anymore, but don't even think about skimping on the nutritional expenses that should be paid. Otherwise, we'll invite the police to come and mediate, though I think it's better not to trouble the police officers for such a small matter, don't you think?"

"!!!"

The Xie Family members were naturally refreshed, but the Zhou Family's expressions turned ugly.

"You bunch of people are simply robbers! I don't want to live anymore!"

Mother Zhou immediately wanted to sit on the floor and throw a tantrum.

Outside the door, the sales manager and the property manager arrived at the perfect moment with fawning greetings:

"May I ask if Ms. Xie Yang is here?"

"Hello, sorry to disturb you, we are here to meet the new owner, Ms. Xie."

Everyone in the room except Xie Yang: "???"

New owner? Where would a new owner come from here?

Xie Xufang reacted the fastest, whipping his head around to look at Xie Yang: "Sister, did you really buy a house here?"

"More than just buying a house, Ms. Xie bought all 180 units of the building king from Boss Shao!" The property manager smiled until his eyes disappeared.

Everyone: "!!!"

One hundred and eighty units!!!

And it was the building king with the best layout, largest area, and highest price!!!

One hundred and eighty property deeds, would you need a sack to carry them?

To avoid any negative rumors that might affect the sales of the third and fourth phases of Longcui Green Residence, the sales manager specifically explained:

"Boss Shao didn't buy the properties in our complex to live in, but for investment. Recently, his capital chain hit a gap, so he planned to sell the building king. Unexpectedly, just after he listed it, Ms. Xie bought it all in full. It shows that our complex is still very popular with big shots, haha!"

"!!!"

Full payment!!!

Everyone felt another heavy blow to their hearts.

Especially the Zhou Family, who were completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't the Xie Family very poor?

Weren't they just scratching a living from the fields, driving trucks, or running street stalls?

When did such a big shot who could casually buy 180 houses in full emerge?

Xie Yang looked at Father Zhou and Mother Zhou with a half-smile and said: "As long as no one misunderstands that we are here to extort people, that's fine."

"How could that be, hehehe..." Mother Zhou squeezed a smile onto her face, trying to smooth things over and get on good terms.

With such a figure in the Xie Family, she would never again encourage her son to break up with Rong Yue; she would only be hoping for Rong Yue to marry in as soon as possible.

If they could keep the Xie Family happy, whatever leaked through their fingers would be enough for her family to live in luxury.

"Since that's not the case, then sign this agreement as we just discussed to settle the financial accounts between my sister and your son. It's perfect that both managers are here to act as intermediaries and witness for both our families."

"..."

Mother Zhou was naturally unwilling in her heart, but in order to coax back Rong Yue's heart and continue being in-laws with the Xie Family, she forcibly endured the heartache and feigned readiness as she picked up the pen:

"Since you aren't married yet, financial accounts really must be settled clearly. It's rare for you to come over, so I'll host dinner tonight. Let our two families sit down and have a good talk. Everything before was just a misunderstanding; it's fine once the misunderstanding is cleared up, don't you agree? Besides, little Rong has been engaged to our A-Feng for two years now; it's time to discuss marriage matters."

After she finished signing, Auntie Xie collected the agreement and put it into her bag, then sneered: "It's already reached this point, and you still want to coax my daughter into continuing to work like a horse or ox for your son! I think you're dreaming! Try being a decent human being, you old bitch!"
