The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 377: Selling the Old House_1

“But your face doesn’t look right…” Mother Zhang touches her face, her voice filled with concern, “Are you sick, or what’s wrong? I feel like you have something on your mind.”

Indeed, Mother Zhang, who watched her growth all this while, could easily perceive her unease.

Hai Xiaotang walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, staying silent for a while before saying, “I’m just feeling inexplicably sad.”

“Why are you sad?” Mother Zhang also came over and sat down, asking softly.

Hai Xiaotang glanced at her and said in a low voice, “Because of Dongfang Yu…”

Mother Zhang was surprised, “Because of young Master Dongfang? Why?”

Hai Xiaotang’s gaze suddenly became distant, and after a while, she answered with just one sentence.

“I don’t know, seeing him just makes me feel sad.”

**************

Mother Zhang made some delicious food for Hai Xiaotang.

Hai Xiaotang had dinner at home before planning to return to her current residence with Dongfang Yu with the driver.

Before she left, she suddenly ran into her uncle who was visiting.

Upon seeing her, Hai Rong naturally greeted her with concern.

Hai Xiaotang had long lost any sentiment toward this uncle, and if it wasn’t for their blood relation, she wouldn’t have cared about him.

However, she would still give him basic respect…

After having a brief conversation with him, Hai Xiaotang left. Only when she returned to the villa did she find out that Dongfang Yu had not yet come back.

That night, he did not return.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Yu had still not returned.

After having breakfast, Hai Xiaotang received a call from Mother Zhang.

“Mother Zhang, what did you say?!” Hai Xiaotang asked in astonishment.

Mother Zhang sounded worried on the other end of the call, “Miss, your grandfather intends to sell the old mansion, you better hurry back and stop him!”

“I’ll be on my way!”

Hai Xiaotang hung up the phone and hurried back.

The Hai family old mansion was located a bit far from the city center. There were no high-rise buildings around, and there weren’t many residents, but the environment was good.

Hai Xiaotang was born and grew up in the old mansion. You could say that it’s the only home she recognized in her heart, and the warmest home of all.

Furthermore, every flower and tree in the old mansion were planted by her grandfather himself.

Every corner of the house was decorated by her grandfather…

This simple and quaint home, full of warmth, was the most precious place in Hai Xiaotang’s heart.

But now, her uncle actually wanted to sell it!

Previously, someone offered 20 million for it, but her grandfather didn’t sell.

Her grandfather declared that he wanted to die in this house, he would never leave this home in his lifetime!

Yet now, her uncle intended to sell it, disregarding her grandfather’s feelings…

Hai Xiaotang rushed back in a hurry. As she stormed through the main gate, she saw her uncle arranging some people to move things out of the house.

“Be careful, many of these things are antiques that you can’t afford if they break!” Hai Rong was directing the workers, not having noticed Hai Xiaotang’s arrival.

“Uncle!” Hai Xiaotang walked up to him, her eyebrows knotted as she asked, “What are you doing? Are you selling the house?!”

Seeing her, Hai Rong gave her a casual nod, “Yes, we’re selling. Step aside, don’t get in the way.”

Hai Xiaotang was furious, “Why are you selling? This is Grandfather’s house!”

“This is the Hai family’s house. I’m selling it, and you, the daughter who is married off, have no say in it.” Hai Rong couldn’t be bothered to deal with her, continuing to command the workers, “Move these out and put them in the truck!”

Two workers were about to lift an old wooden rocking chair.

That was the chair Hai Zhiyuan had used for decades, he loved to lie on it while listening to Chinese opera.
