Buying His Parents a House
It was after nine by the time Ye Feng finally woke up. Urged on by Ye Lin, he quickly washed up, and after breakfast, the family set off.
Father Ye was already waiting in the car. When he saw the three of them come downstairs, he said, "Xiao Feng, this car is really something. I never thought I'd get to drive a Bentley in my lifetime. Haha!"
"Look at you showing off. It's all thanks to your son. Everyone, get in the car. Let's hurry up and go," Mother Ye said.
Ye Feng took out another car key and said to his parents, "I'll drive the other one. I bought two cars yesterday."
When Ye Lin saw Ye Feng walk over to the Aston Martin One-77, she rushed out of the car, went over to her side, pulled open the passenger door, and plopped down in the seat. She called to her parents, "Dad, Mom, you go on ahead. I'm riding in my brother's sports car. Hehe."
Once in the car, Ye Lin looked at the exquisite, luxurious interior and asked Ye Feng, "Bro, this car must be really expensive, right? I read online that sports cars cost several million. How much did you pay for this one?"
Looking at his money-grubbing little sister, Ye Feng decided it was time to give her a proper lesson.
"This is an Aston Martin One-77. Fifty million Huaxia yuan. You little girl, stop worrying about that stuff all the time. Don't worry, once you get your driver's license, I'll give you a sports car, so someone else won't have an easy time tricking me away from you later."
"I knew you loved me most, Bro. Hehe."
East Lake Resort wasn't far from Ye Feng's home, and they arrived in less than twenty minutes. When he was a child, before the resort was built, he had come here with his parents and dug up a whole bucket of clams.
East Lake Villas stood beside a tranquil lake, surrounded by lush trees. The open views let people escape the city's clamor and enjoy the breath of nature.
The four entered the sales center. At the sight of its glittering, lavish decor, Father Ye and Mother Ye grew a little timid, while Ye Lin looked around excitedly.
Since it was a sales center for villas, there weren't many people around. Several saleswomen with flamboyant makeup were gathered together, chatting. When Ye Feng's family arrived, none of them came to help.
"Bro, come here! Look at this villa. The location is amazing—you can see all of East Lake from the yard. Let's go take a look at it in person," Ye Lin said excitedly to Ye Feng.
He walked over to the scale model and saw that the location really was good. He called to the saleswomen chatting nearby, "Miss, please take us to see this villa in person."
The saleswomen's faces were full of disdain. They felt that taking Ye Feng and his family there would be a complete waste of time.
Ye Feng frowned. Just as he was about to lose his temper, a young girl with an innocent face ran over.
"Sir, if you don't mind, I can take you to see the villa in person. But I only started recently, so I'm not very familiar with the job yet."
Ye Feng looked at the girl in front of him. She was young, probably a student working over summer vacation.
He glanced at her name tag and learned that her name was Su Yali.
"Miss Su, sorry for the trouble. Please take us to see it."
Ye Feng called his parents and sister over to follow Su Yali to the villa.
The saleswomen nearby continued to sneer. "Yali, don't bother. Just look at them—they don't look like they can afford a villa. They must be here for the free gifts."
Su Yali ignored them. Instead, she looked earnestly at Ye Feng and asked, "Sir, may I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Ye. You look about the same age as my sister, so you're probably still a student, right? Don't be nervous."
"Mr. Ye, I'm a student working over summer vacation. Please wait a moment while I find a sightseeing cart." With that, she ran to the entrance, found a sightseeing cart, and drove it up to the door.
The four members of the Ye family climbed aboard and arrived at Villa No. 8 in East Lake Villas. Its exterior had a simple, modern design, with white walls that blended harmoniously with the natural surroundings.
"Mr. Ye, this is the villa you saw on the scale model just now. Please come in." Su Yali opened the villa's front door and invited them inside.
The interior was equally simple and modern, furnished and decorated with high-quality pieces. The living room was spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows filling it with natural light. The bedrooms were warm and comfortable, with soft bedding and exquisite bedside tables. The kitchen was fully equipped, providing convenient cooking facilities for the residents. The bathrooms were spacious and tidy, with high-end fixtures and showers.
The villa's garden was just as carefully designed, shaded by green trees and filled with the fragrance of flowers. Winding paths invited people to stroll through it. A small fountain stood in the center, its water murmuring as it added a touch of tranquility and serenity to the whole villa.
"Mr. Ye, Villa No. 8 is the largest in all of East Lake Villas, and it has the best scenery too. It's fully finished, so you can move in with just your bags at any time. Everything from the furniture and appliances to the various finishing materials is the best available. But the price is also very high, or it couldn't have remained unsold until now."
Father Ye and Mother Ye said nothing, but their fondness for it showed in their eyes. As for Ye Lin, needless to say, she was darting all over the house, touching this and looking at that.
Ye Feng made his decision. "Miss Su, this is the one. Let's go back and sign the contract."
Su Yali suspected she had misheard and asked earnestly, "Mr. Ye, are you saying you want to buy this villa?"
"Yes, I'll take it. Let's go back and sign the contract. I'll pay in full."
Su Yali jumped up in excitement. This was her first sale, and it was a huge one worth fifty million. Now she wouldn't have to worry about her tuition, and she could also greatly improve life for herself and her mother.
Realizing she had lost her composure, Su Yali blushed and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry. I was just too happy. This is my first sale."
"It's all right. Let's go. I'm still waiting for you to take us back, but don't get too excited while you're driving. I don't want to take a bath in East Lake," Ye Feng teased.
Before long, they returned to the sales center. When the saleswomen saw Su Yali come back, their mocking voices rang out again.
"Back so soon? I bet they were scared off by how luxurious Villa No. 8 is."
"Exactly. Getting to see such a luxurious villa is thanks to the good karma they earned in a past life."
"Sister Zhang, Sister Zhao, that's not it. Mr. Ye has decided to buy No. 8. We came back to sign the contract."
The saleswomen were full of disbelief, and then jealousy welled up in them.
Before long, Su Yali, who had prepared the contract, came over to Ye Feng with the sales manager, Wang An.
"Mr. Ye, I'm Wang An, the sales manager. The contract is ready. Sorry for the trouble, but let's go to the finance office to sign it."
In the finance office, Ye Feng transferred the fifty-million-yuan payment and signed the contract.
"Manager Wang, will Miss Su receive the commission for this sale?" Ye Feng asked as he was about to leave the finance office.
