I became financially independent right after entering college.

Chapter 121 The situation is tense
The next day, the two went to the Wanchi Circuit again.

Li Xue first drove Bai Chou to the Jiangning Porsche 4S store, and then each of them drove a car to the Wanchi Racing Circuit. Most of the people who came to Wanchi the day before yesterday were present. People who can play with cars often never lack time.

As soon as they arrived at the racetrack, Chen Shuyan stopped Bai Chou and asked him why he didn't go to her store yesterday. Didn't I tell you to come to my store often when you have time?

Bai Chou: Ah?

When you said I was free, did you mean I should go the next day?

After a slight pause, Bai Chou explained, "I went house hunting yesterday. I don't think I'll be free in the near future."

"Looking at houses, what type of houses, where are they located? My family has some friends who work in the real estate industry and can help you find out the bottom prices."

This big sister with wheat-colored, wolf-tail short hair seemed to be more enthusiastic than Bai Chou had expected, and was far less cold than she seemed the day before yesterday.

While the two were chatting, Li Xue drove a carbon fiber Lamborghini into the racetrack at full speed. Although they started together, Li Xue was timid and afraid of crashing the car, so she drove very slowly and always lagged behind Bai Chou.

Before getting out of the car, Li Xue saw the annoying Chen Shuyan chatting with Bai Chou. After getting out of the car, she immediately ran to Bai Chou, hugged him affectionately, and returned the keys to Bai Chou.

"Here are the keys, dear."

Chen Shuyan, who had long known that Li Xue and Bai Chou had a close relationship, did not take Li Xue's provocation seriously. He glanced at Li Xue indifferently, just said hello to Li Xue, and talked to Bai Chou for a few words before turning and leaving.

"This woman is so shameless. Not only did she keep hanging on to that Sun Shengjie for so long without him saying anything, but she also wanted to have sex with a young girl. She knew he had a girlfriend but she kept rubbing against him.

Despicable! "

Li Xue muttered indignantly, completely unaware that except for "old cow eating young grass", all other comments could be applied to herself. It seemed that she had really forgotten that Bai Chou's real girlfriend was not her.

"She just wanted to thank me for helping her get rid of Sun Shengjie."

"Do you think she wants to thank you? She has this aloof expression on her face, paying no attention to anyone. She barely talks to anyone but keeps looking for opportunities to chat with you. Who can't tell what she's thinking?"

How could Li Xue not know what Chen Shuyan was thinking?

Just be friends first. Young people’s relationships are not very stable these days, so maybe there will be a chance.

Before Bai Chou could reply, Li Zhongjiu came over, pulled the two of them aside, and asked Li Xue what was going on.

Didn’t you say that Bai Chou was your roommate’s boyfriend? Why did you announce it on your Moments the afternoon before yesterday and let your dad know about it? And you haven’t been home for the past two days?

If Li Xue didn't go home, where else could she go? She must have gone to live with Bai Chou.

Li Xue smiled awkwardly: "The day before yesterday, we hadn't officially confirmed our relationship yet. I didn't know how to introduce him, so I just said he was my roommate's boyfriend. Then that afternoon, we officially confirmed our relationship!"

What kind of bullshit reason is this?
Li Zhongjiu knew that this was definitely not the case and there must be some hidden story behind it. However, the two of them were willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten. Even if she was Li Xue's cousin, it was not appropriate for him to say anything here.

"Anyway, it's up to you guys."

After a pause, Li Zhongjiu continued, "Xiaoxue, your dad said that I have to take you home today no matter what. Come back with me after playing today, and don't try to sneak away."

"Ah, we agreed to look at the remaining two apartments together tomorrow."

“It’s the same with looking at photos.”

"How can they be the same? That's the love nest that my boyfriend and I will build together in the future!" Li Xue seemed to have completely forgotten that Kim Hyo Joo was Bai Chou's real girlfriend.

No, it is better to say that she subconsciously always remembers that Kim Hyo Joo is her official girlfriend, which is why she is so eager to enjoy the status of her official girlfriend more when Kim Hyo Joo is not around.

No matter what Li Xue said, Li Zhongjiu dragged Li Xue into the BMW M4 in the evening. Your father told me that if I don’t send you home today, he will break my legs.

Give a brother a hand, give a brother a hand.

"No help, no help."

Li Xue pried open the car door and screamed at the top of her lungs, "They're forcing us apart, they're kidnapping me, my dear, please save me..."

Finally, he was pulled into the car.

On the way, Li Zhongjiu asked indirectly what was going on between you two, whether your roommate's boyfriend was real, whether Bai Chou had lied to you, etc.

"It has nothing to do with him. It's my own problem. Just don't worry about it. I can definitely handle it." Li Xue was unhappy and ignored Li Zhongjiu.

Li Zhongjiu probably guessed what was going on and sighed, "Alas, if you like it, you can't stop it."

On the other hand, Bai Chou asked the Porsche 4S shop to tow the GT3RS away for maintenance as usual, and drove back to the hotel himself.

The next day, after viewing two villas in Champagne Garden alone, Bai Chou sent various information and pictures to Li Xue and asked Li Xue to forward them to Li's father for advice. After getting a rough reference price, Bai Chou negotiated the price with the real estate managers on both sides.

The second house I looked at at the beginning was ruled out first. Specifically, I had to choose between the 480-square-meter duplex villa in Jiuxitai and the two single-family houses in Champagne Garden.

Choose the one whose final quoted price is closer to or lower than the reference price given by Li's father.

On the afternoon of the 6th, the owner of the 480-square-meter duplex villa was the first to give a reserve price that was closest to the reference price, 1165 million, and gave away two additional parking spaces he had bought in the community.

Bai Chou didn't delay any longer. The two extra parking spaces were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, breaking through his psychological bottom line.

Including the two extra parking spaces, this duplex villa has 6 bedrooms, 1 living rooms, 4 kitchen, 6 people + terrace, courtyard + basement + parking spaces, which meets Bai Chou's needs in all aspects.

In other words, it meets Bai Chou's expected false needs.

That afternoon, Bai Chou signed a purchase contract with the homeowner under the contact of the agency manager: he paid 265 million on the spot to get the key, and the remaining 900 million was to be paid within a week. At that time, the two-in-one duplex villa would officially belong to him. If the balance was not paid by the deadline, it would be considered that Bai Chou had breached the contract, and the 265 million would not be refunded.

I finally have a house of my own in Jinling!
However, if you want to actually move in, you have to wait until school starts. Although the apartment looks quite clean and tidy, Bai Chou still adheres to the principle of caution and asks a housekeeping company to clean it inside and out.

When she returned to the hotel that night, Li Xue called impatiently: Dear, how is the house negotiation going? When can I buy it?

Bai Chou said that he had already bought it, the same one we looked at at the beginning, and we could move in in two days after cleaning it.

"Great!"

She bought the set that they first watched together. Doesn’t this prove that Bai Chou likes her?

Li Xue was overjoyed, but unfortunately, when she thought about the school starting soon and Jin Xiaozhou going back to Jinling, she felt so uncomfortable that her stomach ached. She pleaded pitifully on the phone, "Dear, dear, we looked at this house together, and I helped you. Can you please not tell Xiaozhou that you bought this house?"

When the time comes, you and Hyo Joo can go to the hotel and we can live in this villa and run our love nest together. Won't we live a prosperous life then?

Bai Chou refused without even thinking.

Before buying a house, he had envisioned a future where he and Kim Hyo-joo would live together in a new home. From the perspective of balanced management, he shouldn't be too indulgent towards Lee Seol.

What's the matter? Before anything even starts, you're thinking of kicking the first lady out of the house and taking over?
Li Xue, who has a fickle temperament, will always be cocky. She can be spoiled, but not too much, otherwise who knows when she will suddenly become overconfident and go to Kim Hyo Joo to have a fight.

Humph, my dear, you are so naughty!
Li Xue sulked for a while, but she also knew that her wishful thinking was unrealistic, so she could only compromise and say, "Can you please let me stay here for a while?"

A month, half a month, or a week is fine. Let me stay there first, and then you can tell Kim Hyo Joo that you bought a house, and then you can move in."

You bastard, Kim Hyo Joo, come and eat my leftovers, Li Xue secretly competed with Kim Hyo Joo.

This time Bai Chou did not refuse. Although he wanted to put some pressure on Li Xue, he couldn't put too much pressure on her, otherwise Li Xue might still go to find Kim Hyo Joo to make trouble.

Trying to strike the right balance was no less daunting than pursuing a schoolmate who fundamentally disliked him. While both involved worry, Bai Chou readily accepted the former.

As long as there is positive feedback that satisfies him, everything will be fine.

Time passed quickly and school officially started on the 8th. Knowing that Bai Chou's car could not accommodate so much luggage, Jin Xiaozhou did not call Bai Chou to pick him up at the airport, but took a business car back to the dormitory.

Hey girls, I’m back!

Kim Hyo-joo was the last one to return to the dormitory, but her time of returning to school was almost the same as the other three. The four beautiful girls sat in the dormitory happily, or at least seemed to be happily sharing their experiences during the holidays.

The local little princess Li Xue spoke first and said that I went to the Wanchi Racing Circuit in Lishui during the holiday, and ran many laps in the car of a super powerful driver, and also drove many laps in a very expensive and cool sports car myself.

"Very expensive? Is it more expensive than Hyo-joo's boyfriend's GT3RS?" Chen Rongrong was particularly concerned about these things.

"It's much more expensive. Although the lap time isn't faster than the GT3RS, the landing price is a full two million more expensive. You know Lamborghini, right? The car I drove during the holiday was the latest Lamborghini Maverick."

Li Xue spoke excitedly, took out her cell phone, and showed everyone the photos of Bai Chou driving the Lamborghini on the track and on the road.

"Whose car is this?" Chen Rongrong asked.

"This is a car from a young master in my cousin's circle. He said his family owns over 4 S dealerships in JS Province..."

Li Xue didn't dare to tell the truth this time, but it wasn't really a lie, after all, the car did belong to Sun Shengjie before.

Li Xue finished her babble and finally looked at Chen Rongrong, who had been supporting her the whole time. "Rongrong, how was your vacation?"

Damn it, you did it on purpose!

Chen Rongrong gritted her teeth. Of course, she had a lot of fun during the holiday, but she felt that compared with the holiday life of someone like Li Xue, who only associated with rich kids and drove a Lamborghini, it was nothing worth mentioning.

She always felt that Li Xue did it on purpose, wanting to use her as a comparison and laugh at her.

"Oh, my vacation was just ordinary, nothing much to say. Let Mengmeng talk." Chen Rongrong turned the topic to Shan Meng.

In the past month, Dan Meng gave people the overall impression of being introverted. He was not a dull person, but he was not very sunny and cheerful either.

Just when everyone thought Shan Meng couldn't say anything, Shan Meng smiled and said yes, and recounted her holiday experience in a gentle tone.

Helping my father run the store, visiting my grandmother who is a little hard of hearing in the countryside, and helping my mother cook food...

"Your family runs a delicatessen?" It was the first time that everyone knew what Shan Meng's family did.

"Yes, I also brought you some local specialties."

As he spoke, Shan Meng opened his suitcase, took out a package of cooked food wrapped in oil paper, and opened it. Inside was a pound of pre-cut red sausage. "This is a local donkey meat sausage that I made with my mom. Do you want some?"

The moment the oil paper package was opened, the aroma of donkey meat sausage immediately filled the dormitory. Li Xue and Jin Xiaozhou both flared their nostrils slightly, but Chen Rongrong felt it was disgusting.

Who wants to eat your sausage? Who knows if it's clean? Also, it's drowning out the scent of my Gucci perfume!

"Eat, eat, eat!"

Li Xue's eyes lit up. She grabbed two slices of sausage and stuffed them into her mouth. She chewed them a few times and gave a thumbs-up. "Delicious, one of the best."

If Li Xue said it was delicious, then it was delicious. If she didn't like it, she wouldn't force herself to say something that was against her conscience.

"Hyo Joo, do you want to eat?" Shan Meng looked at Kim Hyo Joo again.

"Uh, thank you."

Kim Hyo-joo, who had never expected that Dan Meng would invite her alone, was slightly stunned, subconsciously nodded and thanked her, picked up a piece and tasted it. The taste was different from the Harbin red sausage they had there, but it was indeed delicious.

“It’s really delicious.”

"If it tastes good, eat more." Shan Meng smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Then we won't be polite." Li Xue swallowed her saliva and invited Kim Hyo Joo and Chen Rongrong to eat with relish, mainly because she ate more.

Although Chen Rongrong didn't really want to eat it, she still ate two slices.

At this time, Shan Meng took out another larger oil-paper package from the suitcase and pushed it in front of Kim Hyo Joo. Kim Hyo Joo, who was eating sausage, was slightly startled. What was he doing?
"This is what my mother asked me to bring to Bai Chou. When school just started, I told my mother that Bai Chou took good care of me on the way to Jinling.

My mother has always wanted to thank him. This time when she came home, she asked me if Bai Chou had come home. When I told her he hadn't, she was very disappointed and asked me to bring him some homemade specialties.

Shan Meng smiled gently and continued, "Hyojoo, you are Bai Chou's girlfriend, right? I'm afraid you'll misunderstand if I meet him alone, so after thinking about it, I decided to let you give this bag of sausages to him.

When I was in high school, I saw him eating donkey meat sausages many times in the school cafeteria. He seemed to particularly like the donkey meat sausages from Handan. I think he would also like the ones we make at home.”

"Oh, is it so?"

Kim Hyo Joo's expression was calm, not a hint of a smile visible on her cheeks. "Actually, I also brought some of our local specialty, Harbin red sausage. I thought he might like it. I didn't expect you guys in Handan have sausages too."
