"Perfect~"
Jiang Tao mimicked Jin Xingâs gesture and gave his highest praise.
"Hehe, this way it suits my handsome husband~"
Xu Li walked over to Jiang Tao, took his arm, and looked at him with such love in her eyes that it was almost overflowing.
If her sister Xu Sha saw this scene, she would definitely roll her eyes, thinking her sisterâs love-struck brain had struck again.
All dressed up, Xu Li took Jiang Taoâs arm, chatting and laughing as they left home together.
They pressed the down button at the elevator door and started waiting for the elevator.
Creak.
As they were waiting for the elevator, the door of the apartment diagonally behind them suddenly made a noise, then clanged shut again.
A man, about forty, with black framed glasses and medium-length parted hair, looking serious, was standing behind them holding a black briefcase.
Hearing someone approaching, Xu Li stopped talking and quieted down.
Jiang Tao, new to the area, had no intention of getting to know his neighbors, so remained silent.
After waiting for about three minutes, the elevator arrived with a ding and opened its doors.
Jiang Tao, Xu Li, and the man behind them entered the elevator one after another, the three of them taking the elevator downstairs together.
After reaching the ground floor, Jiang Tao and Xu Li found their Mercedes GLS parked in the communityâs public parking area and drove towards Eddy International Kindergarten.
"Hubby, the guy we went downstairs with looks so serious, definitely not the type thatâs easy to get along with."
"If heâs hard to get along with, just donât. In a big city, you can have neighbors for over ten years and still not know many of them."
"Hubby, whatâs the price of houses here now? How much is a place like ours?"
"I heard from my master, itâs about 37 or 38 thousand per square meter. Our place is 138 square meters, do the math yourself."
"Thirty-seven thousand times one hundred thirty-eight equals, equals..."
As Xu Li spoke, she earnestly took out her phone to calculate.
"5,106,000! Oh my goodness."
"Even hitting the jackpot and winning the first prize wouldnât be enough after taxes! No wonder itâs Great Beijing, the housing prices are insane."
"Canât afford it, canât afford it, weâd better keep renting."
After calculating the house value, Xu Li stuck out her tongue playfully and shook her head, declaring they couldnât afford it.
"And this is just outside the Fifth Ring of Beijing; inside the Second and Third Rings, the prices are more than double."
"Donât worry; renting is just temporary. In a year or two, weâll be able to buy a house outright in a more bustling part of Beijing."
"And then Iâll get you a Maserati or something, so you can drive around every day."
Jiang Tao said confidently, smiling as he drove.
With all the daily tips and now the "money-making miracle" Wealth-Attracting Golden Toad,
if he couldnât afford a house in Beijing or get his wife a luxury car,
heâd definitely become the most pitiful protagonist after having a golden touch.
Heâd be written into books, mocked as the Gotham Clown by countless netizens.
"Youâre amazing, Hubby, we mother and daughter are so lucky to have you."
Xu Li looked adoringly at Old Jiang, who was driving with one hand, and pressed his big hand against her cheek.
At this moment, Xu Li felt she was the happiest woman in the world.
Even without a car or a house, as long as her husband was by her side, it was enough.
"But, forget about the Maserati; people might think Iâm doing multi-level marketing."
After saying that, Xu Li couldnât help laughing at her own joke, her fair ones bouncing around.
Jiang Tao realized she was right; the Maserati image had been marred by those in e-commerce and MLM circles.
There were too many viral ads congratulating someone on acquiring a Maserati for their MLM business.
So much so, the real wealthy clients who could afford Maseratis were reluctant to buy them.
What used to be a symbol of status and wealth had now nearly become a symbol for MLM and e-commerce.
Laughing and chatting, their Mercedes GLS arrived at the gates of Eddy International Kindergarten.
From a distance of several dozen meters, Jiang Tao saw a woman waiting at the school gate through the car window.
The woman wore a purple suit and skirt, with flesh-colored stockings on her legs.
Her jet-black hair was pinned up, exposing a long, fair neckâshe was an elegant young married woman.
"Hubby, could that be Xiao Xueâs future class teacher?"
Xu Li checked the time on her phone; it was 2:57 PM, very close to the time Jiang Tao had agreed upon with the teacher on the phone.
"Probably, huh..."
As they got closer, Jiang Tao gradually saw the teacherâs face at the gate and was a bit surprised.
"Whatâs up, Hubby?"
Noticing Jiang Taoâs unusual expression, Xu Li curiously asked.
"This class teacher of Xiao Xueâs, she looks so much like my college advisor, she might actually be the same person."
"What? Your college advisor?"
Xu Li was shocked by Jiang Taoâs words; how could such a coincidence happen!
Her husbandâs college advisor, now teaching her husbandâs daughter?
Creak!
The Mercedes GLS stopped in front of Jiang Yi.
The driverâs and passengerâs doors opened almost simultaneously, with Jiang Tao and Xu Li stepping out of the car.
"Teacher Jiang? Is it really you! You havenât changed at all over the years."
Upon getting out, Jiang Tao confirmed that the woman in front of him was indeed his former college advisor Jiang Yi!
