Super Rich from Winning a Lottery-Chapter 379 - 257: Wanting to Be a Hands-Off Boss

Despite his reluctance, Ou Xiaolong had to face reality. The reality was that he was afraid that his daughter, Chen Xuejiao, might really sever their father-daughter relationship, so he could only choose to compromise on matters concerning his daughter and Yi Anguo.

In fact, putting these issues aside, Ou Xiaolong didn’t reject Yi Anguo as his son-in-law; in fact, he quite liked him.

If they could be together openly, get married and have children, wouldn’t that be great! 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Ou Xiaolong would definitely be proud of having Yi Anguo as his son-in-law.

After Yi Anguo entered the Chen family with Chen Xuejiao, he took a humble approach. Chen Xuejiao had already made great efforts to be with him, and Yi Anguo was being cautious not to cause her trouble or prompt arguments with her parents over him.

Chen Xuejiao’s mother, on the other hand, was quite open-minded about her daughter being pregnant but not being able to marry the man she loved.

Given their family situation and her daughter’s capabilities, she believed they could live well without relying on a man.

Besides not being able to marry their daughter, Yi Anguo wasn’t an irresponsible man. The important thing was that, to Chen Xuejiao’s mother, Yi Anguo was excellent in every aspect, more than worthy of their daughter.

Instead of forcing her daughter to marry an ordinary man who might become their son-in-law, she believed it was better to be with an outstanding man like Yi Anguo.

At least it was their daughter’s choice; as long as she felt happy, that was enough.

The happiness of their daughter, after all, was the most important.

Another reason was that if their daughter had a son, he could bear the surname Chen, and if she had two sons, one could carry the surname Ou. This greatly compensated for the regret of her and her husband.

Initially, her father insisted on her marrying a son-in-law to carry on the Chen family business and legacy.

However, after marrying Ou Xiaolong, they had two daughters in succession. Although both daughters had the surname Chen, she knew her father harbored a knot in his heart; even with the surname Chen, it couldn’t continue the Chen family legacy.

Her husband Ou Xiaolong also had a knot in his heart. Despite becoming Chen family’s son-in-law, there was an agreement that if they had sons, one could bear the surname Ou.

Now, though their daughter couldn’t officially marry Yi Anguo, Yi Anguo agreed that if their daughter Chen Xuejiao had a son, he could have the surname Chen or Ou, and he didn’t mind his son not bearing the surname Yi.

Ou Xiaolong was initially a bit reluctant, but seeing Yi Anguo act humbly in front of him and call him dad, Ou Xiaolong gradually let go and began to smile, starting to chat peacefully with Yi Anguo.

This visit to meet the in-laws, although awkward initially with conversations feeling unnatural, turned out alright, making it a successful meeting.

When Yi Anguo and Ou Xiaolong chatted, they inevitably talked about the current real estate market.

"The real estate market is still heating up, and you’ve established your own real estate development company, which shows you’re optimistic about its future development," Ou Xiaolong remarked.

"I’ve always been optimistic about the domestic real estate development," Yi Anguo nodded.

"I know! Back in ’07, everyone was bullish on the real estate market, but in ’08, the market hit hard," Ou Xiaolong said.

"If it wasn’t for you stepping in, my Tenglong Real Estate and Zhuo Weidong’s Blue Coast Real Estate might not have survived."

"Now, the average price in the real estate market has surpassed 20,000, and in the city center, it’s reached over 30,000."

"I’m really worried it might suddenly crash like in ’08."

Yi Anguo nodded, saying, "It’s essential to respect the market, but the issue shouldn’t be significant as long as expansions aren’t too blind."

"Price corrections are normal and inevitable, but occurrences like ’08 are unlikely."

"At least in the next 10 years, events like ’08 shouldn’t happen."

Ou Xiaolong nodded in agreement, saying, "I also think it’s unlikely to happen again like in ’08."

"Since your Anguo Real Estate Development Company has abundant funds, why not speed up growth?"

"Plus, why aren’t you opening presales for some of your already nearly complete properties?"

Yi Anguo chuckled and said, "I’ve been acquiring land in major cities nationally for future company development."

"As for why those almost completed projects aren’t on presale?"

"I believe it’s unnecessary; presale prices can’t be too high, certainly lower than selling existing homes."
