Chapter 825: Chapter 788: When You Have More Money, Just Buy a House

Originally, Su Yanwei only paid the down payment for the house, and it was natural to add Chen Yan’s name, even though her salary was less than five thousand and insufficient to help with the mortgage.

But in Su Yanwei’s values, he believes that as a man, once married, he should be the pillar of the family, earning money and supporting the household is his inherent responsibility.

However, at the moment, he feels some pressure and hopes his girlfriend’s family can contribute some money to help him, but her parents refused.

Chen Yan wants her name on the property certificate without spending a dime and also demands a bride price of one hundred and sixty thousand.

Because of this, he and Chen Yan have been a bit unhappy these days. The more beautiful the relationship feels while dating, the more troublesome it becomes when setting the wedding date and discussing marriage.

He hasn’t talked about these matters with anyone, not with his father, and naturally not with Lin Wanwan.

His father is having a dispute over adding Chen Yan’s name to the house. His father believes that since the woman didn’t pay a cent of the down payment, her name shouldn’t be added.

If her name must be added, then she should pay for the renovations.

Because of this, his father even had his stepmother try to persuade Chen Yan’s family, after all, Chen Yan is his stepmother’s niece, and it was precisely to strengthen family ties that they were introduced, but the effort wasn’t very successful.

So his father is quite dissatisfied with his future daughter-in-law and is also angry at his son for deciding to add her name to the house.

You know, he shelled out his own savings to support his son, and this led to many arguments with his current wife.

In general, it’s a mess, making Su Yanwei somewhat fearful of marriage now.

But no matter how the marriage process goes, buying a house is a necessity.

The siblings entered the notary office, and even after the notarization was completed, Su Yanwei still felt a bit dazed, would he really not have to repay the mortgage in the future?

Su Yanwei was thinking a lot but said very little, and the atmosphere was rather silent for a moment.

"Did you pay the house deposit? Do you plan to add the woman’s name?"

After handling the notarization, Lin Wanwan asked Su Yanwei.

"I...I don’t know. I originally planned to add it." But now it’s a full payment, so he hesitated about whether to add it or not.

Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment, "If the woman has this request, I suggest you add it. Since there is a notarization, the loss won’t be too great, why not be generous?"

"Sis, do you think I should add the name too? My dad never wanted me to add it."

"Yes, if you are sure about the other party, then add it. You need to give the girl some security; that’s how I see it, but you should weigh it yourself."

"Okay, then I’ll add it. I was considering adding her name anyway; not adding it would lead to quarrels, which is too troublesome." Su Yanwei quickly made up his mind and smiled with relief.

"Yes, add it."

The way the elderly accountant who returned to work in Lin Wanwan’s company handled buying a house for her son seemed quite referential to Lin Wanwan.

It considered the risks but didn’t affect the relationship of the younger couple.

The elderly couple paid the down payment for their son’s house, proactively added the daughter-in-law’s name without her requesting, and also told the young couple that they would help with the mortgage.

Every month, every amount credited to their son’s account had a clear note, and the original receipts were preserved.

So if the son and daughter-in-law unfortunately walked the path of divorce, they would have enough evidence to go to court. Of course, since the name was added, some loss is unavoidable, but as long as the main part is preserved, the rest doesn’t matter.

The purpose behind Lin Wanwan having Su Yanwei do this gift notarization was more or less similar.

Everyone’s position is different, and their stance naturally differs too.

Su Yanwei is Lin Wanwan’s cousin, so naturally she first considers her cousin’s interests. As for the sister-in-law, if they get along, they interact; if not, they don’t have to associate.

If Chen Yan were more sensible, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t mind letting her gain some advantages. But as it stands, Lin Wanwan’s compatibility with Chen Yan is poor, so she must be cautious.

"Let’s go, time to head back." Lin Wanwan called for Su Yanwei to get in the car.

Su Yanwei got in the car and remembered something, saying to Lin Wanwan, "Sis, I remember you told me before that you were considering buying a villa, right?"

"Yes, why, do you have any good listings to recommend?"

"Yeah, during this time, to buy a house, I added many real estate agents on WeChat. In one of their moments, I saw a nice villa introduced. The environment looked good in the pictures, and the location is decent, in the new city."

As Su Yanwei spoke, he opened his WeChat moments, found the pictures he mentioned, and handed them to Lin Wanwan to see.

Lin Wanwan took the phone and flipped through the villa photos, the environment seemed alright.

"Send me the WeChat contact of this real estate agent, and I’ll take a look when I’m free."

"Okay."

The villa Su Yanwei mentioned was indeed nice; the community was called Jiangshan Ruhua.

First, the location was quite convenient, situated in the new urban area, unlike most villas located in the suburbs or further scenic areas. And it’s not too far from where Lin Wanwan currently lives, about a fifteen-minute drive through the tunnel.

The Jiangshan Ruhua community is similar to Lin Wanwan’s current small villa, divided into two sections, one made up of high-rises and the other of villas, including stacked villas, townhouses, and a few detached ones with yards.

Lin Wanwan had nothing to do today, so she took advantage of the time to take Su Yanwei to meet the real estate agent to view the properties.

Hearing that someone wanted to see the detached villas here, the real estate agent was overjoyed.

Detached villas are high-priced, and selling them earns a significant commission.

So even though they are hard to sell, they will certainly put forth one hundred percent enthusiasm to entertain any interest, just in case they make a sale!

The real estate agent, who bore a manager’s title, introduced his surname as Wang, then without further ado, led Lin Wanwan and Su Yanwei toward the detached villa area.

The reason why a few detached villas remained unsold two years after the project was handed over was due to the poor value for money, which didn’t appeal to the wealthy.

Originally, the developer hired foreign designers, making the surrounding environment of the few detached villas overly fancy, adding infinity pools in the yard, and fine interior decoration.

People who like this kind of elegant design can’t afford the staggering price of a detached villa; those who can, the wealthy, find the designs repetitive and not outstanding enough.

You may question the taste of the wealthy, but you cannot doubt their desire to stand out.

Wealthy buyers spend big money on such villas but need to spend a hefty sum again to redo the interiors to their liking, which is too time-consuming and laborious.

Moreover, such high-total-price villas have almost no investment value. Few would buy them, and it’s easy to end up stuck with them.

Those who can afford them prefer living in bustling areas like Three Rivers Confluence, New City Center.

For instance, Lu Shouyue lives in a luxury home at the Three Rivers Confluence.
