Chapter 627: You Are the Owner

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Shen gazed at the woman, her expression vacant and adorable. He wondered if his image in her eyes had grown even more impressive, and his heart swelled with anticipation.

He retrieved a leather bag from the car, pulling out a stack of documents to hand to Gu Zi. “These are the house documents,” he said, “Everything is in order. Keep them.”

Gu Zi slowly reached out to take them, her eyes scanning the golden characters spelling out “Property Deed”. Her fingers trembled and her gaze became vacant once more as she looked at Su Shen. “Is this…?”

Su Shen cleared his throat lightly, a small smile playing on his lips as he explained, “It’s not rented, it’s bought. These are the property deed and related documents for this house. You’re the owner, so of course, they should be in your possession.”

Listening to him, Gu Zi couldn’t help but feel like a country bumpkin. She swallowed hard. This grand house was bought by Su Shen, and she was the owner?

My God, just how much money did this man have? She began to doubt whether the wealth he had previously given her was even half of his total assets.

Moreover, in this era, unless one had the right connections, even money couldn’t buy such a grand house. At least, not unless one was a high-ranking official. His connections were truly formidable. At that moment, Gu Zi felt a sense of pride swelling within her. Honestly, having such a husband, how could she not feel proud?

Su Shen watched her standing there, still in shock, and took the initiative to explain further. “The house was found with the help of Deputy Director He. It’s not particularly valuable, but acquiring the purchasing rights took some effort. We were a bit short on funds for the house initially, but after the payment for last year’s collaboration with Old Huo’s shop was settled, we managed to cover the shortfall. Anyway, Gu Zi, I’m not the type to hide money.”

His final statement made Gu Zi’s heart skip a beat. At this point, would she really be the type to fuss over hidden money?

Gu Zi opened her mouth, finally voicing her question. “Why didn’t you mention the shortfall before? I have savings too, I could have helped.”

Su Shen helped Gu Zi put away the property deed and other documents, returning them to the car. He took her hand and pushed open the ornate iron gate of the front yard, leading her inside as he spoke. “I’ve been in the military for over a decade, I know a lot of people. It’s a complex network, and some people are difficult to explain.”

“But Gu Zi,” he continued, “I won’t hide anything from you that I shouldn’t. As for not mentioning it, I simply didn’t want to touch your savings. I wanted you to keep them for your own use, to feel secure. Any funds I can’t manage, I’ll give back to you. You keep them, and I’ll feel at ease.”

Gu Zi could hear her own heartbeat, thumping loudly. This man had connections, intelligence, business acumen, and loved his wife. He was the epitome of a domineering CEO, a natural leader. How could such a perfect man have been so overlooked in the original book, even to the point of being somewhat annoying as a remarried older man? It was baffling.

But regardless of her confusion, she decided not to dwell on it. After all, this perfect man was now her husband. Why bother thinking about anything else?

Gu Zi relaxed and followed Su Shen into the slightly chilly front yard. She looked up at the three-story building, its architecture simple and elegant. The front yard boasted a fountain and a flower bed, though they were currently empty, waiting for her, the homeowner, to fill them in.

The yard was surrounded by a ring of slender bamboo, lush and green. Gu Zi could hardly imagine how beautiful the yard would look once the grass and flower bed were taken care of. Lying here in the sun with their little girl would be so pleasant…

Meanwhile, the two policemen sent by He Yan to arrest Lin Laoyao had arrived at the entrance of Little Lin Village, where they could no longer drive further.

The two policemen got out of the car and began asking for Lin Laoyao’s residence. This attracted the attention of a few older women chatting in front of a red brick house. One of them tugged at Mother Lin, who was picking vegetables. “The police are here.”

Mother Lin understood the woman’s meaning. She was being invited to join them in watching the excitement. However, Mother Lin was worried about her shop and declined. “You go ahead. I need to finish picking these vegetables. I want to cook something for my second child.”
