In the morning, Xia Yichu got up, brushed her teeth, and washed her face, planning to go to the bank to withdraw money first. She had two million in her savings account, and the remaining eight hundred thousand in cash was in her spatial storage.

She found two bags at home to put clothes in, and then put the money in them. After tidying up, she took the bags and went out.

When she opened the door, she saw Pei Shizhou leaning against the wall with his eyes half-closed. Hearing the door open, he looked at her. Xia Zhiqian was squatting at her doorway smoking. He watched her open the door, threw away his cigarette, and then stomped it out.

Why are you two up so early?

Normally, Xia Yichu sleeps until around nine o'clock when she has nothing to do. Today, she needs to go to the bank to withdraw money and also buy a house, so getting up at eight o'clock is considered early.

"Xiao Chu, what's your decision?"

As the night passed, Xia Zhiqian hoped that she could clear her head a bit.

"I've made up my mind, I'll buy two buildings."

"No, it seems like all my words yesterday were wasted. How about you buy one first?"

Xia Zhiqian scratched his head in frustration; he looked much more haggard in just one night. He had finally fallen asleep around 2 or 3 a.m. last night, and dreamt that Xia Yichu's house was unsellable and unrentable.

Then his grandparents and uncle scolded him for taking Xiao Chu to buy those houses, and chased after him with knives. He ran for a long, long time in the dream, and just as his uncle was about to hit him, he suddenly woke up and sat up, unable to fall back asleep.

He now pinned all his hopes on Pei Shizhou, hoping he could persuade Xia Yichu to stay. He had originally planned to go see his brother last night, hoping he could talk to Xia Yichu. But then he remembered that his sister-in-law was in postpartum confinement, and he didn't want them to worry, so he didn't go.

"No, have you eaten? I want to go have breakfast and then go to the bank to withdraw money."

"I haven't eaten yet. Let's go together. I'll take you to the bank later, and then we'll go buy a house together."

Pei Shizhou took the two bags from Xia Yichu's hands, thinking he would put them in the car when they got home.

"it is good"

Xia Zhiqian wanted to speak, but Pei Shizhou stopped him with a look. If they continued, Xia Yichu would find it annoying and wouldn't let them follow.

"Zhiqian, let's go."

Xia Yichu had already left. Pei Shizhou called out to Xia Zhiqian and quickly followed.

"You can order whatever you want, boss. I'd like a cup of soy milk and a meat bun."

Pei Shizhou ordered the same thing as Xia Yichu, except he wanted three meat buns. Xia Zhiqian didn't have much of an appetite and ordered the same thing as Xia Yichu.

After buying the steamed buns, the three of them walked back, eating as they went. By the time they arrived at Pei Shizhou's house, they had already finished eating. Xia Zhiqian hadn't gone home the night before; he had slept in Gu Yunting's room.

"Get in the car, take my car."

Pei Shizhou opened the passenger door for Xia Yichu and let her sit down. Xia Zhiqian didn't say anything and opened the back door and sat down himself.

Xia Yichu didn't want to listen to them, so she got into the car and closed her eyes to rest. Xia Zhiqian waited and waited in the back! When they arrived at the bank, Pei Shizhou still hadn't said a word to Xia Yichu.

"Brother Shi Zhou"

Xia Yichu unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car first. She took the bag and went into the bank. Xia Zhiqian called out to Pei Shizhou anxiously.

"Zhiqian, get out of the car first, then we'll talk."

"No, didn't you promise to help me persuade Xiao Chu?"

"Yichu won't listen to advice unless..."

"Unless what?"

"She might only consider it if the Lin family intervenes. Don't worry, she earned the money herself anyway. If that money really gets stuck in her hands, your uncle has given her several houses, so she won't end up homeless."

Besides, it's rare to lose money in business these days, let alone buying a house. It's even less likely you'll lose money; at worst, prices won't rise. Even if prices drop, you can still recoup some of the money by selling it.

Pei Shizhou had no intention of persuading Xia Yichu; he was only trying to keep Xia Zhiqian calm and prevent him from bothering Xia Yichu so early in the morning.

"What you said makes some sense, but have you considered that houses in that area are difficult to sell?"

Pei Shizhou had certainly considered it, although the possibility of it being true in the future was almost zero. But it didn't matter; with him there, he wouldn't let Xia Yichu suffer any losses.

When he got back, he sent people to inspect the land there and find out what was going on. He could buy the land and build a shopping mall or a residential complex nearby. As long as the area was convenient and the population grew, the houses would sell easily in the future.

"It's alright. If Yichu wants to sell the house, I can buy it from her. Come on, she'll be coming out soon if we keep talking."

Pei Shizhou got out of the car, and Xia Zhiqian, still feeling dizzy, got out as well. He still couldn't understand what Pei Shizhou meant by those words. What did he mean by buying from her? Pei Shizhou knew he would lose money, yet he still bought it.

There weren't many people at the bank today, and Xia Yichu had already withdrawn a lot of money. The staff asked her to wait aside, saying they would count the money before giving it to her.

"Yi Chu"

When Pei Shizhou and the others came in, they saw Xia Yichu sitting in a chair, looking at the passbook in her hand.

"Um"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Zhiqian stood on either side of her behind her. She hadn't even received her money yet. Were they afraid someone would rob her?

A moment later, a staff member came over with two large bags of money. "Miss, the money has been counted. It's two million in total, with each bundle containing ten thousand. Please count it again."

"it is good"

"I'll do it."

Pei Shizhou picked up one of the bags and started counting them. Not to be outdone, Xia Zhiqian took the other bag and started counting, while Xia Yichu watched longingly from the side.

She also wanted to experience the feeling of counting money until her hands cramped. Last time, when they sold land, Pei Shizhou took her to the bank and transferred the money directly into her savings account, saying that it was not safe for a young girl like her to carry so much cash.

Later, she went to the bank and withdrew over a million yuan herself. That night, she took it out of her online space to count it, and she still does it from time to time. She tried it, and counting over a million yuan didn't cause her hands to cramp at all. She's very curious about how much money she needs to count before her hands cramp.

Pei Shizhou and Xia Zhiqian quickly counted the money in both bags, confirming the amount was correct. Each of them carried one bag, and the three of them left the bank and returned to their car.

"Pei Shizhou, Jingyi Garden, hurry up."

As soon as Xia Yichu got into the car, she excitedly urged Pei Shizhou to drive quickly. Now that she had money, she had no intention of selling the imperial green jadeite bracelet to Pei Shizhou, and her attitude towards him was much more casual.

Unlike at the beginning, when she was cautious when speaking to him, afraid of offending him, she also discovered that Pei Shizhou was quite easy to talk to, as long as he didn't run into his stepmother, and his personality was quite good in all aspects.

"it is good"

"Xiao Chu"

"Don't say anything, talk to me after I buy the house."

Xia Yichu actually wanted to say, "Don't force me to slap you when I'm happiest." But because of the house she gave her yesterday and the fact that she did it for her own good, she didn't say anything so harsh.

Xia Zhiqian angrily turned to look out the window. Pei Shizhou glanced at the two of them and was glad that he hadn't tried to persuade Xia Yichu.

"Pei Shizhou, let me tell you, that place is really nice. If you have some spare money, you can buy a house there. Don't be fooled by its current desolation. If they build schools or something else there in the future, we'll definitely make a fortune if we buy a house there."

Pei Shizhou has good judgment; if there's money to be made, let's all make it together. Although it's nothing compared to what he earns from his businesses, she originally wanted to persuade Xia Zhiqian to buy a few properties. Seeing his strong opposition, she didn't want to waste her breath. Pei Shizhou was different; he didn't object to her buying houses at all.

"Xiao Chu, if you want to buy it yourself, that's fine, but you don't have to try to persuade me like this."

"it is good"

"No, Pei Shizhou, what do you mean? Are you out of your mind? I invited you here to persuade Xiao Chu, not to make you jump into the pit with her."

Xia Zhiqian looked at Pei Shizhou's back of the head with the same look he'd given a fool, but Pei Shizhou ignored him and went to a bank to withdraw money.
