How could a rich person not have a big villa? Make it happen

At the thought of her parents, Chi Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. She had found something to spend money on.

Ever since the system had ruled that one of yesterday's purchases was wasteful that morning, Chi Qing had been a little afraid to spend money, worried about another ruling. After all, she only had two chances left, and the system was currently her greatest source of support.

But I can buy a house! I can buy a house and bring Mom and Dad over to live with me. Surely that wouldn't count as wasteful.

Chi Qing's parents had stayed in her current little apartment for a while before, but they were used to being close to the ground and getting sunlight. A high-rise apartment had limited natural light, after all. During that time, her parents had kept catching colds and hadn't been in very good spirits either.

After her parents moved back to the village, whether it was psychological or being close to the ground really was good for their health, Yue Meifen and Chi Yongliang had both grown healthier over the past year. Yue Meifen had even planted her own little vegetable garden and loaded Chi Qing up with a carful of vegetables every time.

Chi Qing had always dreamed of buying a villa once she had money. One in her own residential complex would do, so her parents could move in and grow vegetables even in the city.

She hadn't been able to afford it before, but now she could make it happen.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Chi Qing drove straight to the real estate agency in her residential complex. The moment the young agent saw the Porsche she pulled up in, he knew a big client had arrived and came out to greet her enthusiastically.

Having worked for this developer before, Chi Qing was quite familiar with the complex's layouts and prices, so she immediately set her sights on Imperial Bay Villa, the townhouses with the best layouts currently available in the complex.

After viewing several houses, Chi Qing chose one that was already renovated.

The house had a total floor area of 260 square meters across three floors. Since Chi Qing didn't have many people in her family, she had always felt that an overly large house would feel empty, so this size was just right.

The first floor was mainly devoted to leisure, entertainment, and everyday living, with spacious Chinese and Western kitchens and a dining room.

The living room had a ceiling nearly six meters high. Many owners would close off that double-height space to add another room upstairs, but Chi Qing felt that only a villa with a double-height space was a true villa.

The owner had also splurged on a huge crystal chandelier in that space. Its sparkling clarity made it look expensive at a glance. Seeing Chi Qing looking at it, the young agent hurried to explain that the light alone had cost nearly 400,000 yuan.

In addition, the sunniest, south-facing part of the first floor had a bedroom for elderly residents. The room opened directly onto the garden, making it very suitable for older people.

The second floor was mainly devoted to living quarters. Apart from a small sitting room in the middle, it had two full bedroom suites.

The entire third floor was the master suite, with a spacious walk-in closet and a large bathroom with a bathtub. There was also a sizable terrace on the third floor. The owner had enclosed the terrace completely in clear glass, which couldn't have been cheap either.

Ah, it would be better to leave the terrace open and stay closer to nature, Chi Qing thought. But she also knew that she lived in the north. The other seasons were fine, but come winter, this terrace would become a snow dump. As if he knew what she was thinking, the agent picked up the remote control in the sunroom and pressed a button. A third of the glass actually retracted automatically, revealing the brilliant sunshine outside.

Immediately afterward, the agent pressed another button. The glass closed, and motorized shades automatically blocked out the sunlight.

"So much thought went into this renovation. It couldn't have been cheap. How could the owner bear to sell it?" Chi Qing asked in surprise.

"Ah, the owner finished renovating it two years ago but hasn't lived here for even a day. It's been left to air out all this time. But recently, the owner urgently needed cash flow for his business, so he had no choice but to list it," the young agent hurried to say when he saw that Chi Qing was interested.

Apart from the renovation, there were two other things about this house that Chi Qing liked best. Since it was an end unit, it had a relatively large yard, nearly 100 square meters.

The owner had even hired a professional landscaping company to plan and design the yard.

The yard was roughly divided into three sections. One was enclosed by a low fence, with neat plots of soil inside that were clearly intended for growing vegetables. Another was a flower and plant area. It wasn't much to look at in winter, but she could vaguely make out a naturalistic European style. Another side of the yard had been paved and furnished with a patio umbrella and lounge chairs, making it a place to drink tea and chat.

Even better, the house actually had an indoor elevator, which made it very suitable for Chi Zhiyong and Yue Meifen.
