Chapter 708 - 6: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (6)

"How are you living now?"

"Living with my mom."

"Your mom, what does she do?"

"She runs a supermarket."

A medium-sized supermarket that sells everything, and when it gets busy, Jiang Lai helps out.

Lu Zhixing stopped talking, leaned his straight back against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest.

The assistant beside him whispered, asking if he wanted to wait in the car, but Lu Zhixing shook his head.

"No problem."

Five hours passed, and the results came out.

Lu Zhixing stared at the report in front of him, reading it over and over again, finally looking at Jiang Lai with much less scrutiny and sharpness before, and more an indescribable joy.

99.9 percent, the data indicated that this girl who suddenly appeared is indeed the child the Lu Family has been searching for over twenty years.

It was very sudden, the result a bit unexpected.

Lu Zhixing initially thought it was another clumsy trick but didn’t expect Jiang Lai to really be his sister.

"I’ll take you home to meet the parents."

"No rush, you can have another test done at a different agency, anyway, the blood’s been drawn, don’t waste it."

Jiang Lai’s words directly revealed Lu Zhixing’s intentions.

He intended to do just that, as this kind of matter must be infallible.

Never thought Jiang Lai would see through it, and she remained calm and ordinary.

It’s as if being acknowledged by the Lu Family wasn’t a major event at all.

"You can come home with me first."

"I still have my mom; contacting you this time was just out of curiosity, didn’t expect that I wasn’t my mom’s biological child.

Thank you for letting me know my background."

Seeing her leave, Lu Zhixing took a step forward to follow.

"I’ll explain to your adoptive mother; you can come back with me now to meet mom and dad."

"Let’s wait until the other test results come out; if there happens to be a mistake, it would just bring them joy prematurely."

Jiang Lai’s words surprised Lu Zhixing slightly.

But he knew this was the most cautious way, yet he also worried if Jiang Lai truly was his sister, not showing he cared might hurt her feelings.

"We have your contact information, where are you staying recently? Is it convenient for me to find you?"

"The house I’m living in now is up for sale; I haven’t decided where to live yet."

With this statement, Lu Zhixing immediately understood.

He didn’t overthink and directly made a call.

A call at five in the morning only gets answered if it’s from the boss.

After a few simple instructions, Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Lai.

"There’s a new development just opened in the city center, go pick out a unit; consider it a welcome gift from your brother."

"Thank you."

By the time she chooses a house, signs the contract, and completes the handover process, it will take at least half a month.

This half a month is enough time for the Lu Family to confirm Jiang Lai’s background.

If not, he can reclaim this property anytime.

Seeing the sky getting brighter outside.

Jiang Lai didn’t say much to him, let the driver send her back to the hotel, and caught up on some sleep until ten in the morning.

Cai Xian had already packed up and was waiting for her.

"You’ve stayed at the hotel, can we go home now?"

"What’s the rush? I haven’t bought everything yet."

"Save some money even when given to you; there are lots of places needing money in the future."

"Save for whom? To end up exhausted and unappreciated like you?"

After saying that, Jiang Lai directly took a taxi to the sales office of the new development.

Zhao Zhaozhao, standing at the entrance chatting with a colleague, was all smiles, ready to greet guests. But upon seeing Jiang Lai, the smile on her face vanished instantly.

"Lai Lai? Why are you here? Looking for me?"

She noticed Cai Xian then, politely greeting, "Auntie."

"Why did you bring Auntie as well, what’s going on?"

Jiang Lai pointed to the development model behind them.

"Brought my mom to see the house."

"Looking at houses?"

Zhao Zhaozhao couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes, reacting for a moment then couldn’t help but laugh.

"You want to buy a house here? Lai Lai, stop joking, just tell me what you need from me.

If you’re here about the earlier dispute with Li Han, just say so. Li Han’s a bit impatient, but he’s not a bad person.

I can handle this, I’ll apologize to him for you, don’t worry."

Jiang Lai nodded, touched by her words.

"Thank you, but it’s not necessary. He threatened and intimidated me; there’s no mending this. Don’t trouble yourself; it’s not your business. You continue your sales job; don’t provoke that problematic Fu Lihan because of me."

Zhao Zhaozhao’s sweet smile froze on her face.

"Lai Lai, why are you saying this, we’re friends, I..."

"Alright, alright, your matters have nothing to do with me, I’m not interested, I don’t care either.

Today, I’m here to see houses. Can you assist me? If not, find me another salesperson."

Seeing Jiang Lai’s serious expression, Zhao Zhaozhao finally let go of her playful smile.

"Are you really here to look at houses?"

"Why else do you think I specifically came to chat about feelings with you?"

Zhao Zhaozhao glanced over Jiang Lai from head to toe, then helplessly smiled.

"Alright, then whose house you’re looking for?"

"For my mom, of course."

Cai Xian was still glancing around; the development in front of her, the sales office alone had a ceiling of seven to eight meters, with a huge development model placed on the mirror-like clean floor.

Located at the best position in the city center with nearly twenty thousand square meters of land, but solely consists of five high-rise buildings.

The rest of the place is all community facilities and recreational areas.

Equipped with a park, lake, supermarket, gym, and sports center, among others.

Moreover, the huge underground parking lot even has a dedicated place for car repairs and maintenance.

"Our principle here is, enjoy the world’s most advanced, convenient lifestyle without leaving home.

How is it? No one would dislike a house like this, does Jiang Lai want to buy it?"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Not bad."

Though not up to the standard of a house she used to live in as a Domineering President.

But in this world, it considered one of the top-tier properties.

Cai Xian naturally knew how extravagant this development was, so when Jiang Lai suggested looking at it, she just kept shaking her head.

What a joke, even stepping into such a place requires proof of funds, and with the money they had, they didn’t even qualify to look at a garage.

"Lai Lai... let’s not; if we really need a house, let’s look at other developments."

Other developments were also unaffordable.

With the average house price now around forty to fifty thousand per square meter, Jiang Lai’s savings couldn’t even scrape a down payment.

But Jiang Lai walked straight in and, since entering, Cai Xian hid all her nervousness, following Jiang Lai silently. Even knowing they couldn’t afford it, she wouldn’t lose face for her daughter at this moment.

Then a manager came over and pulled Zhao Zhaozhao aside.

"Are they here to look at houses?"

Zhao Zhaozhao shook her head.

"They’re probably just browsing, they can’t afford it."
