Chapter 824: Chapter 787: Let’s Go to the Notary

When Lin Wanwan called them up in the middle of the night for a delicious midnight feast, little Qingyu rubbed her eyes, feeling drowsy, while Xiao Yixun appeared a bit dazed.

In front of them were three portions of already served bear paw. Little Qingyu rubbed her eyes and began to indulge without saying a word.

Growing up as a child raised by Lin Wanwan, having a good appetite is a given.

Although she’s small, she doesn’t eat slowly.

As for Xiao Yixun, perhaps she wasn’t fully awake, as she wasn’t much interested in the third of a bear paw on her plate.

Even though Xiao Yixun is Xiao Shen’s legitimate granddaughter, due to her albinism and peculiar temperament, she isn’t favored in her family, so she hasn’t tried such delicacies before.

However, she isn’t a foodie by nature; to her, delicacies are dispensable.

Therefore, being called up by Lin Wanwan to eat bear paw didn’t bring her much joy; instead, she felt somewhat grumpy for having her sleep disturbed.

But, hearing little Qingyu repeatedly saying "Thanks, Mom" and "Mom is so nice," Xiao Yixun’s competitive spirit was aroused.

It’s just about pretending to eat happily, isn’t it? She could do it too!

After sharing her joy with the two, Lin Wanwan found that her happiness didn’t diminish but doubled instead.

This is what they call "shared joy multiplies pleasure."

In the days following the bear paw meal, Lin Wanwan spent most of her time in ancient times. She didn’t have many friends in the modern world, and her personal connections were quite sparse.

At home, her German Shepherd, Fugui, was well-taken care of by a timed feeding machine, and she didn’t need to personally handle the poop-scooping because she hired a part-time worker for that.

She only needed to be in modern times to walk her dog and video chat with Lu Shouyue.

With the year’s end approaching, people’s minds were on celebrating the New Year, and Lin Wanwan was no different.

She had people handling her business affairs, and the new assistant she hired was gradually transforming from a work assistant to a personal assistant, saving her a lot of time and effort.

On this day, the wounds on the wings of two crested terns had healed, and Lin Wanwan planned to release these prized catches from the mountains back into the modern forests.

Whether a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, Yongcheng was never short of mountains. The mountains and waters are its characteristic feature.

Therefore, it was quite convenient for Lin Wanwan to release wild animals, and she chose a frequently visited mountain with a clouded leopard released back into the wild earlier.

Since humans discovered the clouded leopard, that patch of forest had become a protected area.

While there were more people managing the forest, they didn’t forbid locals from going up the mountains, so Lin Wanwan could release animals there without any issues.

Driving to the foot of the mountain, Lin Wanwan got out of the car and opened the cage to release the two crested terns. Then she walked up the mountain path, found a pleasing tree to release a red-bellied squirrel, and followed with releasing a pangolin.

Finally, she clapped her hands, waved her sleeves without taking away a cloud, and leisurely descended the mountain to drive away.

After transporting so many protected wild animals from the Great Tang, yet the Space-Time Gate showed no sign of upgrading, making her wonder if it would ever upgrade again.

No one could give Lin Wanwan an answer to this, so after a little venting, all she could do was let nature take its course.

On her way back, Lin Wanwan received a call from Su Yanwei.

"What’s up, Wei, is there anything you need?"

Initially, Su Yanwei hesitated and felt embarrassed to speak up, but just as Lin Wanwan was about to hang up, he explained the reason for his call.

"Well, Wanwan, there’s something. I’ve found a house I like and am about to pay the down payment, but I’m a bit short on funds. I was wondering if I could apply to advance my year-end salary and bonus?"

Lin Wanwan asked, "Have you already picked the house? Where is it?"

"It’s in our district, a new development near Yongcheng University. The house is ready and available for viewing, and I think it’s good. The utilization rate is quite high. It’s an eighteen-story high-rise, and I picked the fifth floor, a one hundred twenty-five square meters, four-room, one living room, one kitchen, two bathrooms, with a total price of 3.2 million."

When talking about the house, Su Yanwei became quite talkative.

Lin Wanwan listened patiently. She didn’t immediately agree to advance his salary and bonus; instead, she said, "Is today your day off? How about this, where are you? I’ll come to find you and we can talk in person."

"Yes, today is my day off. I’m at the place I’m renting now. Should I wait for you at the gate of the community?"

Lin Wanwan did some timing calculations and replied, "Come out in about half an hour; I should be there by then."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wanwan stepped on the gas and headed towards Su Yanwei’s rented place in the relocation community of the new city.

Upon reaching the road at the entrance of the community, Lin Wanwan immediately spotted her cousin, Su Yanwei, playing on his phone at the gate. She rolled down the car window and called out, "Wei, get in the car."

Hearing her, Su Yanwei looked up and hurriedly ran over, opened the passenger door, and got in.

"Wanwan, where are we going?"

Lin Wanwan said, "To the notary center."

Su Yanwei was very surprised, "The notary center? What are we going there for?"

Lin Wanwan didn’t keep him guessing and directly stated her reason: "Buying a house is a big deal in your life. As you know, I’ve always treated you like my own brother, so I’ve decided to sponsor you with 2.2 million. This way, you just have to manage the down payment to own a house mortgage-free, and it’ll greatly reduce your pressure."

"This... how can this be, there’s no need, Wanwan, that’s too much." Su Yanwei was shocked by Lin Wanwan’s words, overwhelmed with emotions, and he couldn’t speak for a moment as all kinds of feelings surged up, choking his throat.

Ever since his mother passed away, he has truly felt life has been tough.

This time, buying a house, to gather millions for the down payment, he not only emptied his savings but also his father’s, causing discord between his father and stepmother.

However, he hadn’t expected that his cousin, whom he grew up with, would be so kind to him, offering him 2.2 million to buy a house.

It’s 2.2 million, not 220!

Tears welled up in Su Yanwei’s eyes, and his heart was deeply touched.

Lin Wanwan sensed Su Yanwei’s quickened breathing, knowing he was undoubtedly not calm after hearing the news.

Nevertheless, she had to say what needed to be said: "I’m taking you to the notary center to notarize this — that this sum of money is a gift solely to you for buying a house, not to your father or your future wife."

Su Yanwei instantly understood Lin Wanwan’s concern, knowing she was worried about his girlfriend, Chen Yan, possibly causing trouble in the future, leading to his loss.

With this notarization, even if any changes occur in the future, at least the part Lin Wanwan gave him wouldn’t be taken by others.

Nowadays, many elderly people choose this method when giving property to their children to avoid risks, pressured by the high divorce rates.

If all goes well, this aid will benefit the whole small family; if disputes arise, what is owed to whom remains with whom.
