Chapter 188 Two-Story Villa
Upon entering the courtyard, a charming two-story villa comes into view, its creamy white exterior walls appearing especially warm under the sunlight.
The courtyard wasn't particularly large, but it was clean and tidy, with bluestone slabs paving the ground and several osmanthus trees planted in the corner, their branches and leaves lush and emitting a faint fragrance.
"This is a good location, and the safety is relatively guaranteed. It's very close to the police station, just a few minutes' walk away."
As Manager Li introduced the building, he led everyone inside. "The first floor includes a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a dining room; the second floor has two bedrooms, a study, a guest room, and a large balcony."
Stepping into the living room, it is spacious and bright, with large tiled floors and snow-white walls.
The room was simply furnished with some furniture; it wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was very practical.
Yuan Bao excitedly wandered through the rooms, glancing at the windows and touching the walls, his smile never fading.
"Boss Chen, this house is absolutely amazing! I love it!" Yuan Bao said sincerely.
Seeing Yuan Bao's joyful expression and beaming smile, Boss Chen felt gratified and said gently, "I'm glad you like it. Go back and discuss it with your family, pick an auspicious day, and move in as soon as possible so you can live more comfortably in the future."
Brother Lin chimed in, "That's right, that's right. The sooner we move in, the more comfortable we'll be."
Yuan Bao nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and replied crisply, "Yes, yes, as soon as I get back, I'll have a good talk with my parents and try to move here as soon as possible."
Manager Li, who had been observing the interaction among the group, keenly sensed that Boss Chen valued Yuan Bao highly, and quickly said enthusiastically, "Ms. Yuan, please feel free to contact me when you move."
I have many reliable and hardworking people under me, and they will definitely be able to help you arrange your move perfectly.
Upon hearing this, Boss Chen nodded hurriedly and added, "Yes, yes, yes! Moving is such a hassle. Just find Manager Li; he'll definitely be able to arrange everything perfectly for you."
After viewing the house, Manager Li handed the keys to Yuan Bao and then explained some important points about the house in detail.
After dropping Yuan Bao off at home, Boss Chen and Brother Lin rushed back to Beijing to get back to their busy schedules.
Yuan Bao was overjoyed and couldn't wait for his father, mother, and older brother to return.
As soon as the family entered the house, Yuan Bao hurriedly went forward and pretended to help his parents to sit down steadily on the sofa.
Seeing Yuan Bao's serious expression, Yuan's mother couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Oh, my precious daughter, what kind of trouble are you up to today?"
The eldest brother, Bao Guo, joined in the teasing, his face showing a hint of mockery: "Hehehe, look at Yuan Bao's posture, he's definitely about to unleash a big move! Otherwise, why would he be so serious about helping you two old folks to sit down on the sofa!"
Yuan Bao rolled his eyes at his talkative older brother, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Dad, Mom, I have three important things to tell you today."
Firstly, I have completed all high school courses through self-study and successfully passed the school's tests and assessments.
"What?" "What?" Mr. Yuan, Mrs. Yuan, and the eldest brother stared wide-eyed in astonishment, exclaiming almost in unison.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao raised his hand in a reassuring gesture and continued slowly, "Don't be impatient, let me finish what I have to say."
I plan to continue studying university courses on my own, and the school has agreed. From now on, I won't need to go to school every day; I just need to take the senior year exams on time every month.
"Really? My sister is amazing!" The older brother exclaimed with admiration, immediately giving her a thumbs up.
"However, I haven't decided what major to study yet, whether it's humanities or sciences. So for the time being, I plan to relax and calm down to think it over carefully."
Yuan Bao frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes, and slowly spoke.
Mr. Yuan was the first to recover from his initial shock. He smiled gently, nodded, and said in a mild tone, "Okay! Think it over carefully and make up your mind. Whatever decision you make, we will support you."
In fact, Mr. Yuan knew very well that his daughter was now so outstanding and capable that many things had exceeded his understanding.
Instead of interfering in vain, it's better to relax, give her full trust and freedom, and let her follow her own ideas to explore her own future.
Upon hearing this, Yuan's mother's eyes were filled with satisfaction. She nodded repeatedly, her smile growing wider, as if to say that her daughter had truly grown up and become successful.
Seeing that his parents had expressed their support for his decision regarding his studies, Yuan Bao seized the opportunity, his lips curling up with a hint of smugness, and continued, "The second thing is, I previously collaborated with Brother Lin on the vision recovery drug project, and starting this month, we've already started receiving dividends!"
From now on, the dividends will be deposited into my account on the 10th of every month.
"Mom, I'll cover part of the household expenses from now on!"
After saying that, Yuan Bao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The eldest brother, Baoguo, listened with wide eyes, filled with envy. His mouth slightly agape, he said half-jokingly, "Oh my, my dear sister, you're amazing! From now on, the family will depend on you for support!"
Mr. Yuan was still immersed in thinking about Yuan Bao's studies when he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, and then a proud smile appeared on his face.
He raised his hand and gently patted Yuan Bao's shoulder, saying with emotion, "Daughter, at such a young age, you not only excel in your studies but also show promise in your career. You are truly the pride of our family."
However, keep this money for yourself. Spend it as you need to, but don't always think about helping with household expenses. Your parents can manage.
Yuan's mother quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, your thoughtfulness is enough for your parents."
You're at a crucial stage of your growth and studies, so use the money to buy yourself things you like or some school supplies.
Yuan Bao shook her head seriously and said coquettishly, "No, no, I can earn money now, so I have to do my part for the family."
You all work so hard for this family, taking care of everything.
I want to make things easier for you all. I'll be earning more and more money in the future, and I'm sure I can give our family a better life!
"Alright, alright! We'll listen to our daughter then. Our daughter can earn money to support the family now, so this idea can't be wrong!" Mr. Yuan replied cheerfully, his face beaming with pride for his daughter.
"That's right, that's right! I knew our Yuan Bao was so capable. He's so good at taking charge of the household!" Yuan's mother chimed in, her wrinkles crinkling into a smile.
Seeing how happy his parents were, Yuan Bao felt a warm glow inside. Then, he said mysteriously, "The third thing, Mom and Dad, you'd better hold on tight!"
