Annoyed Tang Yun

“Lil’ Lai, do you have any special price for the remaining units in my building?” Mrs. Tang asked.

“Aunt Wang, the building you are in…” Fatty Lai secretly thought that the building was new and other than the one he recommened to her, he hadn’t sold any other houses yet. Why would there be any ‘remaining’ units? Since she asked, Fatty Lai lied, “I think we do, do you want to have a look at it later?”

“Should we look at the units in the same building? It’s close to my place. Yun and Fen will be near each other and they can always see each other!” Mrs. Tang replied.

Fatty Lai took Fen’s mother, Lin Yi and the others to the building Mrs. Tang chose. The lighting was good from both the front and back and it was one of the best buildings in the entire complex. There was no doubt that it had the best location.

Since Mrs. Tang requested, Fatty Lai found a unit with a smaller floor plan on the top floor and took them there.

It was a small house which consisted of two bedrooms and one living room. Although the living room was a little small, around forty square meters, the floor plan was great. It looked comfortable and bright, Fen’s mother immediately fell in love with it, “Mr. Lai, how much is this?”

“This… This type of floor plan’s original price is 380,000 yuan. But because it’s on the top floor, and it faces south which means it’ll be colder in winter, it will be a little cheaper at around 300,000 yuan.”

“Huh? Only 300,000 yuan?” Fen’s mother was shocked. Her previous shabby house was only thirty square meters yet she only received 180,000 yuan as compensation, a new house at forty square meters only costed 300,000 yuan? Isn’t that too cheap?

The unit’s floor level and condition in winter was no problem to Fen’s mother. Her previous house was also at the top level and it wasn’t the unit in the middle. They didn’t have a sufficient supply of heat but they still survived.

This unit supplied heat along with the rest of the apartment and it would definitely be better than her old house. The quality seemed rather good and hence, she immediately took a liking in it.

“Yes, only 300,000 yuan,” Fatty Lai nodded, “We usually sell these top floor units with discounts.”

“That’s great, this one it is,” Fen’s mother nodded and decided.

Fen’s mother had 680,000 yuan in her hands and this unit only costed 300,000 yuan. After buying it, she still had 380,000 yuan which was enough for all electronics and furniture required.

Fatty Lai called the manager of the sales department and signed the contract with Fen’s mother. She paid for it and the unit was now under Fen’s mother’s name.

Fen’s mother never imagined she could buy a favourable unit so smoothly. She immediately thanked Mrs. Tang and Lin Yi over and over again. If it weren’t for them, where could she find such a cheap yet fantastic place?

Tang Yun knew that Fatty Lai sold a unit to Fen’s mother at such a low price purely because of Lin Yi. How was it a unit that was still remaining? The floor plan and lighting was great, 300,000 yuan was the lowest they could buy it with!

Fen also looked at Lin Yi gratefully. Her mother didn’t understand, but how could Fen not? She knew that Fatty Lai begged Lin Yi to treat his father’s illness and Fatty Lai also probably sold the unit cheaply to her family because of his gratitude towards Lin Yi.

“Boss, thank you!” Kang Xiaobo whispered to Lin Yi, “I gained so much face today!”

“Ha…” Lin Yi smiled, “You and Fatty Lai call me boss and you two should always help each other when in need.”

Lin Yi’s words touched Kang Xiaobo. It was difficult for a leader to take great care of his subordinates like this. Kang Xiaobo didn’t think he put in any effort worth mentioning, as all he gave was the passion he had when Lin Yi first arrived. When Zhong Pingliang looked for trouble, he stepped up with Lin Yi in the heat of the moment and received Lin Yi’s acknowledgement and friendship.

Mrs. Tang couldn’t wait to see her own unit after Fen’s family settled their own unit. She heard from Fatty Lai that the furnishing began yesterday.

Tang Yun’s family’s unit was bright and spacious, almost three times bigger than Fen’s unit. However, Fen’s mother wasn’t envious as the house they had managed to afford was already out of her expectations. What was the point of being envious of others?

However, Fen’s mother looked forward to drawing a prize just like Mrs. Tang drew the special prize from the draw. She asked Fatty Lai, “Mr. Lai, am I still able to draw a prize? My special priced unit…”

Fen’s mother was afraid that her unit was of special price and asked nervously.

“Of course! You can have a chance or two when you go to the sales department later,” Fatty Lai smiled.

Mrs. Tang sighed at Fen’s mother’s excitement. She knew exactly how she got the prize, how could she be lucky enough to draw the best?

Mrs. Tang recalled her luck and felt sympathetic towards Fen’s mother. She looked at Lin Yi, her daughter, then to the smiling Fatty Lai, and couldn’t help but comment, “Lil’ Lai, can I give the remaining materials to Fen’s family?”

Mrs. Tang wanted Fen’s family to save more money. If she had any extra materials, giving it to Fen’s family could help them for them.

“Huh? Well…” Fatty Lai glanced at Lin Yi again. Why would they have extra materials? All the materials were prepared according to the unit’s area so there shouldn’t be any remaining materials.

Lin Yi turned his head and laughed silently. If you say there is extra then there will be extra, if you say no then there won’t be any. What do you want me to say?

Fatty Lai saw that Lin Yi didn’t refuse and replied, “Alright, I’ll talk to the manager later. If there is any extra materials I’ll tell them to furnish Fen’s mother’s place too without labour costs. I think there are plenty of materials and it’s more than enough to furnish two units. That unit is small too, furnish them together!”

“Ah, that’s too kind of you..” Fen’s mother didn’t think that Mrs. Tang’s request saved her an amount of money again. She didn’t have to pay for the labour! Mr. Lai was too kind!

“Alright, don’t turn it down since Lil’ Lai agreed!” Mrs. Tang thought that she earned a lot of face as her request saved Fen’s mother labour fees!

Tang Yun’s Insecurity

Tang Yun felt like she was useless. She couldn’t help Lin Yi and she had a greedy mother who also wanted face, there was no way she could scold her mother in front of so many people!

Tang Yun was stuck in a difficult position. She looked at her pleased mother and stomped in panic again. Her family had already bothered Lin Yi a lot, how could you also bother him for other people?

Tang Yun didn’t know what to do and suddenly felt someone holding her petite hands. Familiar warmth and strength made her lift her head up and found Lin Yi smiling at her.

“Ah!” Tang Yun jumped, “When… When did you come?”

Lin Yi was originally with her mother and Fen’s family sorting out the furnishings while she stayed outside, occupied in her thoughts and didn’t notice Lin Yi approach her.

“What are you thinking right now?” Lin Yi noticed that Tang Yun’s expressions looked unnatural as if she was annoyed and embarrassed.

“Nothing…” How could she tell Lin Yi her real opinion?

“I helped Fen’s family because of Kang Xiaobo. She’s not only your good friend, but she’s also Xiaobo’s girlfriend,” Lin Yi guessed what she was thinking. It was already a loss for Fatty Lai to give Fen’s family such a discount, it was too much for him to give their family free furnishings too.

However, Lin Yi didn’t think it was big and Fatty Lai wouldn’t mind a small amount of money like this.

“Thank you…” Tang Yun felt much better after hearing Lin Yi’s explanation. Her glance towards Lin Yi was soft and filled with love. Recalling back to their relationship, it was smooth but also difficult. Because of it, Tang Yun felt like she was always walking on ice. From her misunderstandings about him to her feelings of love, she didn’t want to lose these feelings and treated their relationship carefully.

“You don’t have to worry about it. Your mother had a difficult time,” Lin Yi saw right through her mother, “Uncle Tang’s leg was broken and he can’t even get up. Aunt has to support your entire family herself and will naturally feel tired. She can only hide it inside her heart without telling Uncle Tang. She has silently supported the family for so many years and now she finally has a chance to pretend to be cool… Uh, I mean, to do things just for her pleasure, naturally she won’t let the chance slip by…”

Tang Yun was angry but also amused as she glared at Lin Yi, “That’s harsh. Although my Mum is a snob but she’s a good person…”

“I know, that’s why I played along, didn’t I?” Lin Yi shrugged.

“I’ll have a chat to her after we go home, we can’t always put you in difficult positions like this…” Tang Yun talked everything out with Lin Yi and sighed in relief. It looked like Lin Yi didn’t really care about it.

“Not really,” Lin Yi shook his head, “However, I am afraid that if your mother encountered a boss wealthier than me, what if she sells you to him?”

“No way!” Tang Yun shook her head, “Unless she kills me.”

“Haha…” Lin Yi held her hands rightly, “Let’s go and have a look at the furnishing style. It’s your home, shouldn’t you give some advice?”

“Ok…” Tang Yun’s problem was solved and became much happier as she walked around the house with Lin Yi.

The unit was indeed spacious. She never imagined her family affording such a large home before and coming in, she never wanted to leave again.

At night, Tang Yun decided to talk to her mother seriously.

“Mum, how could you make Fatty… CEO Lai furnish for Fen’s family?” Tang Yun pouted, “Do you how expensive materials are? How will there be extra? Even if they bought extra materials, they would give it to other residents who drew the special prize, why would they have any remainder?”

“Look at you. How poor is Fen’s family? She’s your good friend, we should try to help them if we can!” Mrs. Tang didn’t think it mattered at all.

“But you are bothering him! In the end, won’t they owe Lin Yi a favour?” Tang Yun fumed at her mother’s words. Although they should help their friends in need, they could only help within their capability otherwise they would be swelling their faces by slapping it!

“What favour?” Mrs. Tang glared at her daughter, “Don’t you think that I can’t tell that Lil’ Lai is Lin Yi’s subordinate!”

“Huh?” Tang Yun didn’t expect her mother to see through it and she froze.

“See?” Mrs. Tang was pleased, “Whenever I asked something, he looked at Lin Yi to seek confirmation with such respect! He treats you with the same attitude and you think I don’t know that? What did you want to call him? Fatty Lai? You are a grown up now so you can even lie to your mother? Aren’t you familiar with him? Putting on a show for me?”

“Mum… I…” Tang Yun’s face flushed red. She was bad at lying and she was embarrassed after her mother pointed it out.

“Humph. Look at Lil’ Lai’s attitude, he called me Aunt. He’s the CEO of a business, why would he treat a housewife so politely? We are asking others for a favour, not them begging us! You think your mother is blind? And that special prize, that’s bullshit, it was a electric kettle but he had to say it was the special prize!” Mrs. Tang gabbled on, “You think I didn’t realise? Lil’ Lai wanted to please Lin Yi and you! This kid, why don’t you know how to utilise this connection to give us a house for free?”

“I… I… I…” Tang Yun was furious. She wanted to talk about her mother but now she was the one getting scolded. She didn’t know how to talk back and panicked, “But aren’t you still troubling Lin Yi? Even if he is Lin Yi’s subordinate, isn’t he still Lin Yi’s man?”

“Isn’t Lin Yi’s yours too? Are you stupid? You are his girlfriend, you are Lil’ Lai’s sister-in-law!” Mrs. Tang replied naturally.

“How is that the same? You made this happen and I owe Lin Yi more and more! I feel like I can’t even lift my head up in front of him!” Tang Yun was now worked up and looked at her mother stubbornly, “Do you know how many girls like Lin Yi? I can’t help him and bother him every single day, how can I compete with other girls?”

“Compete? Aren’t you his girlfriend already?” Mrs. Tang questioned back, “What can a girl do anyway? When you sleep with him in the future, everything will cancel out!”
