The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After leaving the bar, Wang Gang took a taxi home.

He still lives in his old house, and his parents wait for him to come home every night.

Although the newly purchased house has been handed over, it is still under renovation, and people will have to wait several months to move in.

Fortunately, Wang Gang doesn't have high requirements for his living environment. He has lived in the palace before, so he's used to it.

When Wang Gang arrived home, his parents were still awake and sitting at the dining table looking at some real estate information.

"Gao Qiang, it's good that you're back. Your mother has her eye on two more shops. Let's go take a look tomorrow." Gao's father was very happy to see his son return.

Since learning that their son was a stock market genius who could earn millions every month by trading stocks, Mr. and Mrs. Gao have stopped mentioning finding him a job.

Just kidding. No job outside can earn a million a month. Even if Gao's parents are stupid, they know that letting their son work is a waste of time.

"Gao Qiang, although this property was launched a couple of years ago, the location is excellent. Although the price is much higher now than it was two years ago, I think it will rise further in the future!" Gao's mother has been studying the capital's real estate market lately and is almost becoming a semi-expert.

"Mom and Dad, you can make the decision. I'll transfer the money to you once you've decided on the shop," Wang Gang said nonchalantly.

“Son, you don’t usually have anything to do, why don’t you come with us to look at houses tomorrow?” Mr. Gao said.

“Okay,” Wang Gang agreed. “You guys should also buy your own house while you’re at it, so you can live in a different environment.”

Mrs. Gao shook her head and said, "We'd rather not. We've lived here for half our lives and know all the neighbors well. Moving to a new place would mean having to get to know everyone all over again, which is pointless."

Wang Gang said, "Mom, this house is still a bit small. I'll get you a bigger one."

Mr. Gao smiled and said, "It's good that you have this idea. Your mother and I really don't need to move. There are advantages to having a small house. It's easier to clean. Besides, after you get married, you will definitely move to a new house. It will just be your mother and me here, which is enough for us."

Although the family was not short of money, Gao's parents still maintained their frugal lifestyle. Most of the money Wang Gang brought home was used by Gao's mother to buy shops, all of which were registered in Wang Gang's name.

After discussing the shop with Wang Gang, Gao's mother took out a stack of photos of girls.

"Son, come and see these girls, see if any of them catch your eye," Gao's mother said with a smile.

"Mom, where did you get all this stuff?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.

"I met an older woman while I was looking at houses. She's such a nice person. Besides enjoying house hunting, her biggest hobby is matchmaking," Mrs. Gao said with a smile.
"These photos of girls were all selected by me. Every one of them is a good girl with a clean background, good looks, and a decent education."

Wang Gang said speechlessly, "Mom, you really have nothing better to do! First you urged me to find a job, and now you're forcing me to go on blind dates. If you have nothing to do, go on a trip. I'll pay for it."

Gao's father said sternly, "Gao Qiang, how can you talk to your mother like that? We're just trying to do what's best for you!"

Wang Gang said, "Dad, I have a woman I like."

"What!" Mr. and Mrs. Gao were so excited that they forgot everything else and hurriedly asked:
"What's that girl's name? Where does she live? What does she do for a living?"

Wang Gang curled his lip and said, "Are you checking household registrations?"

Gao's mother said excitedly, "Son, bring your girlfriend home for dinner whenever you have time."

Wang Gang glanced at the dilapidated walls around him and said, "Our house is in such a state of disrepair, how could I possibly bring someone back?"

Mr. Gao said irritably, "You brat, you're looking down on your own home!"

Mrs. Gao also said, "Our family isn't that bad off, is it?"

Wang Gang said, "Mom and Dad, you should move to a different house! See if there are any newly built apartments nearby."

Mr. and Mrs. Gao exchanged a glance, finally understanding that their son ultimately wanted them to move into the new house. "Since it's our son's way of showing filial piety, why don't we buy one?" Mr. Gao said.

“Buy it! If we don’t buy the house, that brat will always come up with some excuse.” Mrs. Gao said, “I’ll call my older sister and ask. She seems to have quite a few properties available.”

Wang Gang frowned and asked, "Mom, is the person you just met reliable? Why don't we find a legitimate real estate agent?"

Mrs. Gao took out her phone and shook her head, saying, "No need, my older sister works as a real estate agent. You can contact her to buy or rent a house!"

Wang Gang suspected that his mother might have been scammed.

Gao's mother went to the side to make a phone call, and returned a few minutes later.

"I've made arrangements. The older sister will take us to see a nice apartment complex nearby tomorrow," said Mrs. Gao.
"Son, I've already agreed to buy the house. When are you going to bring the girl home so we can meet her?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "It's still a long way off! I'm still pursuing her. I'll bring her back once I've really won her over."

Mr. and Mrs. Gao felt they had been tricked by their son, and their faces immediately darkened.

“I’ll go with you to look at apartments tomorrow. This one can be rented out later, and the rent can be used for your retirement,” Wang Gang said.

"Did you plan this all along?" Mr. Gao asked in surprise.

"How could that be? This is the house you two were talking about first!" Wang Gang tried to avoid topics like blind dates and marriage, but his parents were quickly swayed and started discussing what house to look at tomorrow.

Mr. Gao said, "Since we're going to buy one anyway, why not get another three-bedroom apartment? That way, when our son gets married and has children, he can come back and stay for a couple of days."

Mrs. Gao said, "Isn't a three-bedroom apartment too big? It's just the two of us living here usually, so let's get a smaller one!"

Seeing his parents chatting enthusiastically, Wang Gang went to take a shower. Before resting, he called Manny to ask if Mi Lai had left the bar.

“Mi Lai went home a long time ago. I personally called a car for her, and she arrived home safely.” Manny didn’t seem too busy and even had time to chat on the phone with Wang Gang.

"Did my classmate leave too?" Wang Gang asked.

“He left even earlier than Mi Lai,” Manny laughed. “Mi Lai probably wanted to introduce Yang Xiaoyun to your classmate, but Yang Xiaoyun didn’t even look at him.”

Wang Gang sighed, "It's also my fault for being too outstanding. I stole Xiang Nan's chance to shine. I'll have to talk to him about it when I have time."

Manny said, seemingly casually, "Yang Xiaoyun is quite nice. She's pretty and has a good personality. I heard she owns several houses. Why don't you consider her?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "What's wrong! Are you jealous?"

Manny scoffed, "Why would I be jealous? I'm not your girlfriend. I just think you and Yang Xiaoyun are a good match."

Wang Gang said frankly, "I don't like those little girls, I prefer older sisters like you."

Manny's lips unconsciously curled up over the phone, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "I'm too old for you. We're really not a good match. People will think I'm an old cow eating young grass."

Wang Gang said, "Whether it's suitable or not, we know for ourselves. Why do you care what other people think?"
Honestly, my parents were just thinking of inviting you over for dinner.

"Ah!" Manny exclaimed in a panic, "How do your parents know about me? And they even want to invite me to dinner?"

“Of course, I was the one who introduced you to them!” Wang Gang said. “My parents always want to meet their future daughter-in-law.”

Manny scoffed, "What future daughter-in-law? You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You'd better win me over first!"

After hanging up the phone, Manny could no longer suppress a smile! (End of Chapter)
