SAG -Chapter 90 Our Family Still Has a House in Beijing

After arranging everything, Zhang Ran looked at the three of them and finally said, “Alright. I’ve said what I needed to say. Do you have anything you want to ask?”

Zhang Siyan and Liu Lu looked at each other, but neither spoke.

They did not ask how much demolition compensation Zhang Ran had received. Perhaps in their hearts, Zhang Ran’s money belonged to Zhang Ran, not them.

Liu Lu did some quick calculations.

Since Zhang Ran’s return, he had spent nearly one hundred million yuan.

Of course, most of it came from today.

He had given Zhang Sicheng a company worth thirty million yuan, and given her a bank card containing ten million as household expenses.

That was forty million.

Add Zhang Siyan’s fifty million, plus their house…

One hundred million yuan had appeared just like that.

After finishing the calculation, Liu Lu felt her entire body go numb.

In the past, never mind one hundred million—even one hundred thousand had been a huge sum in her eyes.

But now?

One hundred million was right in front of her, as if it were something simple and effortless.

At that moment, Zhang Sicheng suddenly said, “Aren’t you afraid we’ll squander all this money? What if the company goes bankrupt, Siyan’s business fails too, and all this money is wasted? Wouldn’t you feel heartbroken?”

Zhang Ran looked at Zhang Sicheng’s seemingly joking yet very serious expression and smiled.

“It’s still the same thing I said before. Money exists to be spent.”

“Heartbroken? As long as you spend it meaningfully, as long as you don’t waste it recklessly or do anything harmful or immoral, what is there for me to feel heartbroken about?”

“Even if your businesses fail, you can treat it as paying for experience. One failure isn’t frightening. Just remember the lesson next time.”

Zhang Ran said it lightly and casually, but it was truly what he thought.

Zhang Sicheng and the others stared blankly at him.

At this moment, they vaguely realized that Zhang Ran’s demolition compensation was probably not just one hundred million.

Maybe two hundred million?

Three hundred million?

And that was only because today’s barrage of spending had already raised their imagination. Otherwise, they might have guessed even less.

“Oh, right. I forgot to tell you.”

Zhang Ran suddenly remembered something.

“Our family still has a house in Beijing. That one wasn’t demolished. I’ll take you to see it sometime. It’s a pretty nice house.”

He was referring to the courtyard house in Beijing.

Zhang Sicheng and the others did not react much.

Several houses had already been demolished, so one more house seemed like nothing.

But they never imagined that this house was actually a courtyard residence.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong with Daddy?”

Zhang Xiaotao leaned close to Zhang Ran’s ear and whispered.

Zhang Sicheng still had not recovered and was staring blankly into space.

Zhang Ran said, “Your dad is going to run a company. He’s thinking about things.”

“Really?”

Although Zhang Xiaotao was young, he understood quite a lot. Hearing this, he immediately became excited.

“Of course. Would Grandpa lie to you?”

Zhang Ran deliberately put on an unhappy expression.

“Muah!”

Seeing that expression, Zhang Xiaotao immediately kissed Zhang Ran, then acted spoiled.

“Of course I believe Grandpa. Grandpa, don’t be angry, okay?”

“Alright, alright. Hahaha.”

Zhang Ran was instantly amused by the little guy.

Zhang Siyan did not even know how she got home.

It was only when the car had already stopped downstairs that she finally snapped back to reality.

Looking at the back seat filled with shopping bags, Zhang Siyan picked up her phone and called Qian Li upstairs.

“Come down and help me carry some things.”

That was all she said.

Three minutes later, Qian Li came downstairs wearing slippers, pajamas, and a face mask.

“What kind of things need me to come down and move them? Where are they?”

Zhang Siyan opened the car door and the trunk.

“Whose car is this? New?”

Qian Li did not look at the things inside first. Instead, she stared at the car.

“My car. My dad bought it for me today,” Zhang Siyan said.

“Uncle Zhang is generous. This car must cost quite a bit, right? Three hundred thousand?”

Qian Li directly sat inside the car and started trying it out.

“Something like that,” Zhang Siyan said.

“Uncle Zhang only bought one for you? He didn’t buy one for your brother?”

“He bought one for everyone. He also bought one for my sister-in-law,” Zhang Siyan answered honestly.

“Hm?”

Qian Li did not react immediately.

When she finally understood, she clicked her tongue.

“I really didn’t expect Uncle Zhang to be this rich.”

After looking over the car, Qian Li finally noticed the various clothing and shoe shopping bags inside the cabin. She froze again.

“These… are these real?”

She stammered.

Zhang Siyan knew what she meant. She was asking whether they were authentic.

“They’re real. I picked them out and bought them myself today.”

“I… damn. Damn, damn, damn! I’ve had my eye on this outfit forever, but I couldn’t afford it!”

“Ahhh, Siyan, you’re rich now! No, Uncle Zhang got rich? Did Uncle Zhang win the lottery?”

Qian Li shouted excitedly.

But Zhang Siyan quickly stopped her.

“Don’t be so loud. You’ll disturb the neighbors. Let’s take everything upstairs first. I’ll explain properly.”

Once they got upstairs and closed the door, Qian Li could not wait to ask, “Siyan, what exactly is going on? Uncle Zhang called you over today just to buy all this?”

Zhang Siyan did not answer immediately.

Instead, she said, “Pour me a glass of wine first.”

After Qian Li handed her the red wine, Zhang Siyan downed it in one gulp. Then she let out a long breath, looked at the anxious Qian Li, and said, “If I told you my family is actually a demolition household, would you believe me?”

“A demolition household? How come I never knew your family had houses?”

Qian Li instinctively refuted her, but then she suddenly reacted in surprise.

“Wait, were they houses Uncle Zhang bought before?”

“Mm.”

Zhang Siyan nodded.

“No wonder. How much did he get? Judging by how generous Uncle Zhang is, it must be a lot, right?” Qian Li asked.

“I don’t know. None of us asked,” Zhang Siyan answered honestly.

Qian Li understood Zhang Siyan’s thinking and did not continue asking. Instead, she began looking at the clothes and bags.

“Oh, right. These outfits are for you. And these bags too.”

Zhang Siyan found the items bought for Qian Li and took them out.

“They’re for me?”

Qian Li was instantly delighted.

“Mm. My dad specifically told me to buy them. He said we should properly thank you.”

Qian Li smiled.

“Ah, Uncle Zhang is really too polite.”

She did not stand on ceremony with Zhang Siyan. Their relationship did not require that.

“My goodness. These things must be worth over a million altogether, right?”

Half an hour later, Qian Li roughly estimated the prices and clicked her tongue in shock.

Zhang Siyan nodded, her expression very calm.

Seeing her like this, Qian Li joked, “Siyan, what’s this? You don’t even care about these things anymore?”

Zhang Siyan looked at her, then took a bank card from her bag and held it up.

“There’s fifty million yuan in here. My dad gave it to me.”

“How much?”

“Fifty million!”
