Moreover, the value of this courtyard, separated from the Kong Familyâs Old Residence, is higher.
Right now it seems just a little higher, but in ten, twenty years, the value of this courtyard will far exceed that of the Kong Residence.
"Why did Brother Kuang suddenly make this decision?"
"Itâs closer to Jinruoâs family, and there are more shops around, making life more convenient," Kuang Yunxian said.
Right now the shops seem convenient, but as development progresses, it will become very bustling there.
Of course, Chiang Xiao would not say these things directly.
Clearly, it has something to do with what Du Jinruo said when she came last time.
As for Kuang Yunxian accommodating Du Jinruo like this, Chiang Xiao doesnât find it too surprising. Because Kuang Yunxian is a gentle and considerate man.
Moreover, Chiang Xiao feels he has a good quality, that if he truly feels he should be kind to someone, he will indeed be very kind to her.
Like now, with Du Jinruo.
After Du Jinruo was confronted by her and Meng Xi like that, with her own pride, she surely wouldnât want to live here anymore.
In the future, seeing her frequently, and with Kuang Yunxian certainly still interacting with them, Du Jinruo alone would be infuriated.
"Is Brother Kuang still planning to marry Du Jinruo?"
"Yes, we already discussed marriage before, naturally we wonât abandon it halfway," Kuang Yunxian said.
Chiang Xiao doesnât know how to interpret his words.
Is it feelings, or has it become a responsibility?
But of course, she wouldnât ask that question.
"When Du Jinruo came over before, did she still like this courtyard? If you simply swap the courtyard, wonât she be unhappy?"
Chiang Xiao really doesnât care if Du Jinruo is happy.
But she doesnât want any disputes over this matter in the future.
Regarding Kuang Yunxianâs proposal to exchange the Kong Familyâs house with the neighboring courtyard, she agrees.
She certainly wouldnât live in the Kong Familyâs house, and eventually, it would be sold when the market is right. Until then, it could be rented out.
But in at least ten years, that house wouldnât fetch much rent, and if left, sheâd have to find someone to maintain it annually.
However, the neighboring courtyard is different.
She could completely knock down the adjacent wall, turning the two courtyards into one. Then, not only would there be more rooms, she could expand into a large studio, and enlarge the courtyard to plant more flowers, creating a big garden, not confined to circling one spot during walks.
For her, itâs simply the best option.
Moreover, she wouldnât have to live beside Du Jinruo.
"She wonât." Kuang Yunxian flashed a smile and honestly said, "Not to hide from you, I initially hoped you could get along with her, so that both families as neighbors could occasionally chat over tea or drinks, which would be nice. But since you canât get along, how could I force it?"
Chiang Xiao pressed her lips and straightforwardly said, "I really canât get along with her."
"So, Iâm afraid it might become a case of âfar fragrance and near stench,â which I donât wish to see. Being a bit farther, we can still meet sometimes, right?"
"Mm."
It seems Kuang Yunxian understands quite well.
"So, can you look at these two properties to see if they can be exchanged?"
"How does Brother Kuang want to exchange?"
"Just swap them directly."
"The value of this side is higher than that side," Chiang Xiao said bluntly.
Upon hearing her words, Kuang Yunxian laughed again. "Xiao Chiang, hasnât anyone told you that youâre very generous?"
