Chapter 249 Chu Xiao's House Buying Story
The next morning, Fu Shengyang washed Lucky's baby bottle and put it in the sterilizer before he had time to check his phone.
Chu Xiao: "Do you own any fully furnished, move-in ready houses? Sell one to me."
Lao Xiao wants to buy a house; is he planning to move back to Beijing?
Fu Shengyang was decisive and made a video call to get to the bottom of things.
Chu Xiao responded quickly.
"You want to buy a house?"
Chu Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Is there a problem?"
Chu Xiao made his decision overnight, which was far too hasty.
"No, Lao Xiao, are you really sure?"
Chu Xiao: "I should not continue to shirk the responsibilities that are mine to bear."
Once you've made up your mind, don't overthink it, just move forward.
Fu Shengyang knew that this responsibility lay with the Chu family, as well as Hua Lan.
He had Xiaoyue and luck; only after marriage did he experience the warmth of a home.
Chu Xiao's decisions and life are entirely his own, and he doesn't try to persuade him otherwise.
He simply said, "Alright, call Yu Bai and come to my house to pick me up."
Chu Xiao leaned closer to the phone and looked him over carefully. "You can't drive yourself."
"I'm an experienced driver, but I'm a new dad." Fu Shengyang's lips curled up with a hint of pride when talking about his new role as a father.
"Just leave the little kid at home, it's not fun to bring him out."
Chu Xiao made no attempt to hide his dislike for children. What's so good about little babies? They're so noisy.
Fu Shengyang feigned anger, "It's not like I was born for you to play with, why are you so nosy? Hurry up and come on, you can't disturb my son's afternoon nap."
Lucky is his and Xiaoyue's son, how can anyone say a bad word about him?
Even best friends can't do that.
"Alright, alright, your young master Fu is the most important." Chu Xiao tried to salvage the situation, determined not to lose the verbal battle.
But what about actual actions...?
Fifteen minutes later, he appeared at Fu Garden with Ji Yubai.
Autumn is deepening, and the sun is shining brightly.
Ji Yubai gripped the steering wheel, driving the vehicle carefully, his eyes unusually focused.
"You're lucky. You've never been this nervous when Uncle Bai was driving."
At the red light, Ji Yubai stopped the car and stared at the baby safety seat in the rearview mirror.
For more than two months, I've been lucky; all I've heard is the word "lucky."
Every time he hears the word "lucky," he squints his eyes and smiles, revealing his toothless gums.
This time was no exception; Little Lucky's smile was especially endearing.
A pair of eyes shone like stars, reflecting the golden ginkgo leaves lining the street.
Chu Xiao was also attracted by his cute appearance and turned to look at him from the passenger seat.
Lucky little bundle of joy lay in the baby car seat, and Chu Xiao's eyes softened a bit. "He looks quite cute."
“It’s no fun to bring them out!” Fu Shengyang mimicked Chu Xiao’s tone and returned Chu Xiao’s words.
Chu Xiao clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Lucky Young Master. From now on, I'll carry your milk powder can, hot water, and baby bottle when you go out. Please let your father's mouth forgive me."
"Hmph~ It's your good fortune, Lao Xiao, to carry my Lucky Young Master's bag." Ji Yubai said in a high-pitched voice, changing his tone to "Lucky."
Chu Xiao laughed, "However, your son's name is really a lucky one, very lucky."
Ji Yubai is the most qualified to speak on the matter of names.
"Old Xiao, you really have to believe it. My sister-in-law is a lucky charm. Anyone who's with her will become lucky. So, my nephew's name is a good one. Call him that often, and everything he does will go smoothly."
Chu Xiao didn't believe any of this. He simply thought that Ji Yubai was immersed in love, which made him feel refreshed and clear-headed, so naturally everything he did went smoothly and he was happy.
The three brothers rarely had the opportunity to travel together in one car, and with a baby in diapers in tow, they found themselves becoming more talkative.
Poor little Fu Chengyun, who was still wearing diapers, participated in the important life event of his uncles, Uncle Chu's house purchase, when he was just over two months old.
Ji Yubai casually asked, "Old Xiao, isn't your house already habitable? Why did you buy another one?"
"The money I've saved over the years is enough for me to buy a house and live alone," Chu Xiao replied, downplaying the issue.
Actually, there was always a voice in his heart that wanted him to live a quiet and peaceful life.
If you want to live in Beijing, you need to remove obstacles.
This is a great opportunity.
He will repay his grandmother for all the hardships and injuries she suffered.
When Chu Xiao said he lived alone, Ji Yubai and Fu Shengyang understood that even if Uncle Chu admitted his mistake, Old Xiao would not go back to live there.
The wounds inflicted on a young heart may fade with time, but the scars have already formed and cannot be left without a trace.
His return to Beijing to take over Jianda Medical Equipment Company was out of a sense of injustice at the mistreatment his grandmother suffered in her later years, but it doesn't mean that Chu Xiao will return to the Chu family.
Fu Shengyang carefully selected apartments near both the Jianda office building and the Beijing First People's Hospital, showing them to Chu Xiao one by one.
In the end, Chu Xiao chose a 126-square-meter apartment in a bustling neighborhood, just a ten-minute walk from the First People's Hospital of Beijing.
When Chu Xiao said, "That's all," Fu Shengyang and Ji Yubai exchanged a knowing glance, their understanding unspoken.
Ji Yubai snorted, "Old Xiao, isn't this 'raising-a-child' project going to take another four years?"
Chu Xiao walked to the balcony, overlooking the bustling streets of Beijing, and simply said, "You don't understand."
I turned around again, and you know my gaze fell on Fu Shengyang.
Fu Shengyang, being sensible and adhering to the principle of never falling into a trap, patted the items he was carrying.
“I’m the one who’s been trained. Look at the stroller and baby backpack, it’s the standard equipment for dads.”
Ji Yubai curled his lip, offering a disapproving sneer, "You're a wolf in sheep's clothing, a big bad wolf. You and your sister-in-law..."
forget it. I'm done here.
They've truly joined forces.
A business tycoon and a medical school whiz—neither of them is mentally challenged.
If they were to be taken out separately, they would be living the most privileged lives among their peers.
Chu Xiao saw through his thoughts and teased, "Bai Bai, you can live a good life even if you're simple-minded. Don't be too self-conscious."
"I'm insecure my ass." Ji Yubai raised his foot to kick Chu Xiao's butt, but Chu Xiao easily dodged it.
Ji Yubai wasn't annoyed that he hadn't kicked anyone. "Tell me your errands as soon as possible. I'm going back to Jincheng with Lingxi for our engagement during the National Day holiday."
"There's nothing for you to do. Just buy this one. Sheng Yang is available, so we can go and transfer the ownership."
Buying a house with cash makes the paperwork quick and easy.
An Xiaoyue rarely gets a break, so the two of them played in the yard with Lucky, basking in the sun to promote calcium absorption.
Fu Shengyang then told An Xiaoyue about Chu Xiao buying his house.
"So, Brother Chu, you plan to stay and live in Beijing from now on?"
“That’s the plan, otherwise Kinder…” Fu Shengyang shook his head, his expression grave.
Changfeng Group wants to cooperate with Kinder, so he will definitely do his research. Kinder's profitability is not good.
Kinder's decline could have been predicted a decade ago.
Uncle Chu isn't good at handling big deals, and it's already quite an achievement that he's managed to survive until today.
Grandma Chu's accident made Uncle Chu make a firm decision.
Chu Xiao also understood that hiding was not the solution.
Thus, the father and son reached a consensus that Jianda Medical Equipment Company must be handed over to Chu Xiao.
“Hua Lan eats with me every day. I noticed that she didn’t know that Brother Chu was in Beijing, so I didn’t tell her.”
When Brother Chu was going through such a difficult time, An Xiaoyue didn't know whether she should tell Hua Lan the truth.
From Hua Lan's perspective, she definitely wanted to stay by Chu Xiao's side.
But Brother Chu's idea was definitely to shoulder everything alone and give Hua Lan the best of everything.
"Honey, do you think I should give Hua Lan a hint?"
Fu Shengyang shook his head. "I roughly understand Lao Xiao's thoughts. He won't put the people around him in danger without being absolutely certain, so he must be doing something very important by keeping it a secret."
An Xiaoyue understood, "Then I won't say anything. I'll wait for Brother Chu to make the arrangements and then tell Hua Lan himself, so that Hua Lan won't overthink things and affect her internship."
Having grown up together since childhood, Fu Shengyang understands Chu Xiao well enough.
He was right; Chu Xiao was indeed handling a major matter at the moment.
He was sitting face to face with Huang Xiu'e and Chu Ci.
