The advertisement was placed on the first day, and the next day Lin Mai received calls from several real estate companies who wanted to sell land.
Land in Hong Kong is very expensive. Even if Lin Mai spent all his money, he still couldn't afford the smallest piece of land.
Lin Mai followed the example of the richest man Li, went to a bank in Hong Kong to apply for a loan, and easily bought two pieces of land in prime locations.
The Hong Kong government is much smarter than the mainland government.
When Lin Mai applied for a loan, he could obviously use the land as collateral for the loan, but he still needed a guarantee company.
Lin Mai didn't even know an ordinary person in Hong Kong, let alone the CEO of a company, so he couldn't find a guarantor at all.
Fortunately, Fang Zhuoran's aunt left him a multinational company in the United States to guarantee her, otherwise she would not be able to repay the loan.
In addition, the Hong Kong government also requires that once the land is acquired, it must be recorded when construction starts and when it ends. This is to prevent land hoarding and profit from it.
Lin Mai bought the land with the intention of building a building, and was not afraid of these regulations.
It has been more than a week since I got the loan.
The academic seminar that Fang Zhuoran participated in ended long ago, and he should return to Puji Medical University in time.
But because she was worried about Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran staying in Hong Kong, Fang Zhuoran accompanied her to get the loan done, and then the three of them took a flight back to Jiangcheng together.
Bored on the plane, Lin Mai took out the book "How to Become a Man's Troublesome Goblin" and read it.
Fang Zhuoran leaned his head over to take a few glances, and joked: "Will you become a spirit after reading this book?"
Lin Mai chuckled and said: "I won't become a spirit, but I will definitely become your annoying little goblin. I wonder if you are afraid of it?"
Fang Zhuoran pinched her delicate little face: "Come here!"
Lin Mai raised her orchid finger and said, "Look how I torture you on your wedding night."
Fang Zhuoran smiled meaningfully: "I'll wait."
When we returned to the villa, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner.
Lin Mai wanted to make hot pot on a whim.
On a hot day, eating hot pot and breaking up a sweat is actually quite refreshing.
Grandma Fang hesitated for a moment and said: "You are back, why don't you invite your parents and your brothers and sisters to your house for dinner?
In the past few days when you were away, they called several times to ask about your return date.
Your parents, brothers and sisters are from Beijing, so if you can’t handle spicy food, don’t make hot pot.”
Lin Mai saw Grandma Fang talking about your parents, your brothers and sisters, and asked: "Has the paternity test result come out? Are Uncle Bai and I related to each other?"
"Come out." Grandma Fang nodded: "If not, why would I change my name and call them your parents, brothers and sisters?"
Lin Mai asked: "Where's Bai Shuang? How did my parents arrange for her?"
When this question was brought up, Grandma Fang became a little unhappy, waved her hand and said, "I mentioned this question to your mother.
Your mother said that Bai Shuang was raised by her and had a relationship for eighteen years, and she was reluctant to send her to the Lin family to suffer.
In other words, both her biological daughter and her adopted daughter want it."
Lin Mai said noncommittally: "Then let's have hot pot tonight.
My parents just didn’t invite them because they were afraid of the spicy food. It wouldn’t be too late to invite them to dinner tomorrow.”
Grandpa Fang looked serious: "Are you stupid?
Just being angry and neglecting your relatives will push your parents toward Bai Shuang, right?
The more your parents think Bai Shuang is good, the more benefits she will get from your parents.
Why do you let a scheming woman take away what belongs to you?
You should try to drive Bai Shuang out of the Bai family!
If you want to drive Bai Shuang out of the Bai family, you must first establish a good relationship with your parents and relatives before you can proceed to the next step.
So I have to invite your parents for dinner today."
Even though Bai's mother dotes on Bai Shuang, Lin Mai has no interest in recognizing his biological parents.
But Grandpa Fang is right in what he said, don't let Bai Shuang take away what belongs to you.
She nodded and said: "Okay, listen to grandpa, treat your parents to dinner tonight, but not at home, but at Jiangcheng Hotel."
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran went to invite Mama Bai and her family together.
Bai Lu and Bai Xia were so excited to see Lin Mai that they hugged Lin Mai tightly and wouldn't let go.
Another kept saying: "My sister should be like Maizi, beautiful and smart!"
Bai Shuang cried immediately when she heard this and said to Bai's mother: "Brother, he dislikes me~"
Bai Xia was extremely disgusted with Bai Shuang. She pointed at her and said, "I have no blood relationship with you. I'm not your brother. Don't scream!"
Mother Bai was very unhappy and said: "Bai Xia! I have told you many times not to treat Shuang'er like this, why don't you listen?
Although you and Shuang'er are not related by blood, can the relationship of eighteen years be wiped off just as easily?"
Bai Xia sneered: "Can't I praise my own sister? If I praise my sister, I despise her!
Bai Shuang was accusing me of my black condition. Not only did my mother not say anything about her, she also accused me!
Bai Shuang is my mother's biological child, I must have picked it up!"
Mother Bai's face turned pale with anger: "What did you kid say? How could you have picked it up!"
Bai Xia continued: "Don't tell me that Bai Shuang and I have lived under the same roof for eighteen years, even if it is one hundred and eighty-eight years, I will not have feelings for her!
She is so vicious, and she tried so many tricks to prevent Maizi from returning to our home.
He also tampered with the contact address Maizi left for Lulu, and transferred her blood sample.
This kind of scheming bitch only has her mother as a treasure and keeps her at home.
Raising her is like raising a venomous snake, and mom won’t be afraid of being bitten by a venomous snake in the future!”
Bai Shuang immediately threw herself into Mama Bai's arms, crying so hard: "Mom, I'm not a scheming bitch, and I'm not a poisonous snake either."
Mother Bai kept comforting her: "Mom knows, we don't care about your brother."
Father Bai looked at his watch, frowned, and said to Bai Shuang, "Okay, don't cry.
Let's go to Jiangcheng Hotel quickly, we can't keep Mr. Fang and the others waiting."
The group of people hurried to Jiangcheng Hotel.
Along the way, Bai Lu held Lin Mai's hand and refused to let go.
Fortunately, Bai Xia was an older brother and was too embarrassed to hold Lin Mai's other hand, otherwise Fang Zhuoran wouldn't be able to hold Lin Mai's hand.
Bai Shuang and Bai's father and Bai's mother walked behind.
Bai Shuang looked at Fang Zhuoran's tall back with admiration, swallowed secretly, and glanced jealously at his and Lin Mai's interlocked hands.
Finally, his eyes fell on the Hermès bag Lin Mai was carrying.
Although no luxury goods have entered the Chinese market in this era, there are not many foreigners in the capital compared to other places, so Bai Shuang knows many luxury brands.
Seeing Lin Mai carrying such an expensive Hermès, Bai Shuang's eyes turned red with jealousy.
She rolled her eyes and whispered to her mother: "Mom, although Maizi and Professor Fang are engaged, it's not good to hold hands in public. It's too disrespectful."
Mother Bai was a little unhappy after hearing this, and when she was about to say something to her, Father Bai frowned and scolded Bai Shuang:
"Have you always been so trouble-making before and I didn't notice it? Or are you just making trouble these two days?
You also know that Maizi and Professor Fang are engaged, so how can you not respect yourself by holding hands in public?
It’s not like those indecent behaviors of kissing and hugging!”
Bai Shuang immediately pretended to be crying.
When Bai's mother saw this, her unhappiness disappeared, leaving only her heartache for Bai Shuang, and she said dissatisfiedly to Bai's father:
"Even if Shuang'er does something wrong, you educate her slowly, why are you so fierce? Look, Shuang'er is scared!"
Father Bai's mood was very complicated.
Bai Shuang is the daughter he has loved for eighteen years. Even though he knows that she is not related by blood to them, he has the same attitude as his wife and wants to keep her in the Bai family and treat her like his own.
But Bai Shuang's behavior in the past two days made him very dissatisfied. He always made trouble and caused a lot of trouble.
Father Bai is busy with work, and his wife is basically responsible for the education of his children.
He really didn't know that Bai Shuang was so capable of stirring up trouble, and he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing for her to stay in the Bai family.
Seeing Bai Shuang cowering in his wife's arms because of him, he couldn't bear it.
Father Bai simply stayed out of sight and out of mind. He took two quick steps to catch up with Bai Xia and the others. He smiled and said to Lin Mai, "When your college entrance examination results come out, you will come back to the capital with us. From then on, our family lives in love with each other."
Together."
Lin Mai smiled and declined: "I will get married to Zhuo Ran on National Day. By then we will have our little family, and I won't live with you anymore."
Father Bai was very sorry and secretly complained to Fang Zhuoran for abducting such a young daughter from him.
Bai Xia Bailu was also very disappointed and angrily told Lin Mai not to forget to visit them often even if they got married.
Lin Mai said: "As long as I am admitted to Tsinghua University or Beijing University, I will definitely see you often.
If you don’t pass the exam, I will visit you every Spring Festival.”
