Chapter 427: Ninety's Contrast System (30)

I saw her and Zheng Qinglin pulling at each other at the entrance of the sales center.

"What did I promise? While a wedding house is a standard requirement for marriage, it doesn't have to be a brand-new one. We can live at my place after we get married; my room isn't small, it's enough for both of us."

"Your room isn't small, but your younger brother's room is right next door. How inconvenient it would be to live together. What if we have children? Where would the child live?"

"But the property prices in this development are too expensive! If you calculate the interest on the mortgage, it's enough to buy another small unit. Either we pay in full, with my family paying half and yours paying half, and we put both our names on the property deed."

"..."

The Main System, which is always one step faster than Xie Yang at eating melons, sent a live report:

【Host, these two are here to look at a wedding house. But Zheng Qinglin thinks the houses here are too expensive and doesn't want to buy. If he does buy, he wants the Zhu Family to pay half. Zhu Meijiao took out the liability agreement signed before their engagement to force his family to buy.】

Xie Yang immediately understood.

Zheng Qinglin is one year older than Zhu Meijiao, and both of them are graduating this year. So, as soon as Zhu Meijiao graduated, she wanted to buy a wedding house to get married.

But seeing that the Zhu Family's demolition had been delayed, Zheng Qinglin began to doubt the truth of her words and wanted to use the house purchase to probe her stance.

Zhu Meijiao wouldn't be fooled.

For one, her family hadn't been demolished, so naturally, they couldn't come up with that much money.

For another, even if her family had been demolished, why should the woman have to pay half for a wedding house when a man marries a wife?

She had swallowed her pride during the engagement because she was afraid he would go back on his word.

Now that they were already engaged, what was there to fear?

Besides, after the engagement, Zheng Qinglin moved out of the dormitory and rented a small studio near the school. When he didn't have evening classes, she would go over to keep him company, and if it was late, she would simply stay the night at his place.

With a man and a woman alone, could they not do something while sleeping in the same bed?

Even the landlord thought they were a loving young couple.

Therefore, if Zheng Qinglin dared to break the contract and dump her, she would dare to tear off the mask and make him pay for her three years of lost youth!

Now, besides the liability agreement signed before the engagement, she had several rolls of video she had secretly filmed over the past two years.

Although the image quality was a bit blurry, because Zheng Qinglin appeared in the shots completely naked, there were always a few frames where his face could be clearly seen. As long as the Zheng Family wanted to save face, they would know how to choose. Hmph!

Xie Yang was listening to the gossip and eating melons with great interest when her ear was suddenly pinched lightly, and a low, clear voice sounded by her ear:

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you come to my office?"

Xie Yang turned her head. Uh-oh, she had forgotten about having a boyfriend...

"Sister-in-law."

Xu Jiayu poked his head out from behind his older brother and greeted Xie Yang with a grin.

Xu Jiahang glanced at him, and the latter knowingly handed over an exquisite velvet box and produced a bouquet of fresh, dripping pink roses from behind his back.

Before Xie Yang could react, Xu Jiahang held the flowers in one hand and a proposal ring with a pigeon-egg-sized pink crystal surface in the other, kneeling on one knee to propose in front of everyone.

The Main System was so shocked it forgot to eat Zhu Meijiao's melon: 【... Wow! Host, your 'heavenly dish' is so romantic!】

Xie Yang: "..."

Good heavens! So that conflicted look before leaving this morning was put on for her to see? The goal was to lure her here to cooperate with his proposal?

No wonder he had changed his clothes.

Clearly, before leaving this morning, he was wearing a light gray casual shirt. At this moment, he had not only changed into a meticulous white shirt, but also wore a tie, a suit, and cufflinks, and even the gold-rimmed glasses that accentuated his maturity were a new pair.

Main System: 【...】

Its host's focus is truly unique...

The surrounding crowd was already letting out excited screams, yet its host still had the leisure to analyze her 'heavenly dish's' OOTD?

Oh my!

She had actually learned a new word again!

It really is the most intelligent System in the System Realm!

This scene was too explosive, attracting the gazes of countless people present.

Even Zhu Meijiao, who was pulling at Zheng Qinglin at the entrance, looked over and recognized Xie Yang, as well as Xu Jiayu, who had been calling Xie Yang "Sister-in-law" with a smile the whole time.

Her first reaction was that it was impossible.

"Is this a performance?" Zhu Meijiao blurted out.

Someone nearby who was in the know retorted:

"A performance? Who are you talking about? The current CEO of Heng Yi? Does someone with his status and position need to perform? Besides, President Xu has been dating his girlfriend for two years. How meaningful it is to propose on this day! It's both the Qixi Festival and the grand opening of the first phase of Zi Zhu Yuan. The Zi Zhu Yuan that President Xu personally planned and designed, along with the property deed for the 'King of Buildings,' is his sincerity for the proposal. From now on, this development is going to change its surname."

"!!!"

After hearing this, Zhu Meijiao was completely dazed.

What!!!

Xie Yang is dating the current CEO of Heng Yi, who is also Xu Jiayu's older brother?

Not only did he choose the romantic Qixi Festival to kneel on one knee and propose to Xie Yang in front of many people with a diamond ring featuring a pigeon-egg-sized pink crystal, but he also gifted her the entire development as a dowry and the Zi Zhu Yuan 'King of Buildings' as a betrothal gift?

Even television dramas wouldn't be written like this!

What virtue or ability does Xie Yang have!

At this moment, the sourness churning in Zhu Meijiao's heart could swallow her whole.

If she knew that she herself had a hand in how Xie Yang and Xu Jiahang met, she would probably regret it until her intestines turned green.

But even without knowing, she regretted it deeply.

She regretted letting Xie Yang move back to the Zhou Family Old House and letting Zhou Ru move her household registration out.

She had always believed that the reason Xie Yang had such a good life now—not only having money for medical treatment but also buying a house and car in the city and meeting a handsome, wealthy man—was all because of the Zhou Family Village demolition, where she had obtained all the demolition money for three small, dilapidated houses.

If Zhou Ru hadn't moved her household registration from Zhou Family Village to He Wan Village back then, that money might have been hers.

Today's good life would also be hers!

Xie Yang had no idea what Zhu Meijiao was fantasizing about in her heart; she accepted Xu Jiahang's sincerity, accepted his marriage proposal on the day of the Qixi Festival, and then came to own the premier unit of the building, which had a better view and a larger floor plan than the lake-view house she had originally intended to buy.

Just like the certificate for the pigeon-egg diamond, her name was already on the dark red property deed as well.

She had no idea how this guy had managed it.

Clearly, her identity card and household registration booklet had been tucked away safely.

One year after their engagement, the two of them stepped into the wedding hall.

Their marital home was settled in the premier unit of Zi Zhu Yuan.

Because not only was the floor plan of this house personally planned and designed by him, but even the renovation blueprints were drawn by him frame by frame while sitting in front of a desk lamp.

Aside from making a few small requests when he asked and picking out a few favorite decorative trinkets during the soft furnishing stage, Xie Yang didn't have to worry about anything else.

Having an industry CEO at home who graduated from a top-tier university's architecture program was just too worry-free!

Not only was it worry-free, but he was also a romantic person at his core.

Whether it was a statutory holiday, their respective birthdays, or their shared anniversaries, he would arrange everything perfectly, and Xie Yang only needed to follow him to spend one fulfilling and memorable wonderful day after another.
