usury?
Five million … Even if he worked all his life and didn’t eat or drink, he couldn’t save this amount.
Myrna felt guilty: “I haven’t been doing nothing these years. I have saved some money.”
Clara , who had been silent all the time , suddenly spoke up –
“How did you save it?”
There was still a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
Myrna sighed. It seemed that Clara had heard some of the rumors outside .
“Mom, I earned all this money through legitimate channels. It’s clean and I feel comfortable spending it.”
This is not a lie.
At the beginning, Ansel was willing to turn against his family in order to be with her.
his father Mark Howard blocked all his bank cards and ordered Selena not to provide him with any help.
During the most difficult times, the two of them were squeezed in a basement of less than ten square meters, which leaked when it rained. Their bodies were cold, but their hearts were warm.
Ansel tried to start a business and needed start-up capital, so Myrna went out to do odd jobs every day to save money.
Later, through an introduction, I joined a biotechnology company that makes beauty products. At first, I tried their products and then cooperated with the research team to provide relevant skin data.
Later, by chance, Myrna wrote a program to help them count sample data in batches, making the originally complicated statistical work instantly simple and efficient, and greatly improving the accuracy.
The company offered $500, 000 to buy the program, but Myrna did not agree immediately. She went back and told Ansel , who then negotiated the price.
It has to be said that Ansel has a talent for profiteering, and the program was eventually sold for two million.
At this point, Myrna successfully helped him save his first pot of gold.
With the money, Ansel founded his own company and two years later, became a new star in the industry.
On the day of the IPO bell, he said to Myrna : “You own half of the company.”
That night, he took out a check for 50 million and a land transfer contract.
At that time, the two were in love, and Myrna was surprised: “Why are you giving me this?”
“I have money and land, and from now on I will be a small landlord.”
“I don’t want your money, and I don’t want to be a landlady.”
She just wanted to be ” Mrs Howard ” and grow old with him.
However, Ansel insisted on putting the two items in the drawer, “I don’t take back what I give away.”
Myrna didn’t care. Just give it to her. She wouldn’t want it anyway.
In the following years, although the two had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, Myrna never thought of touching these two things.
Until I finally decided to leave him …
Now think about it, if Ansel really loved her and wanted to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her, then when the company went public, what he should have handed over to her should have been stocks, not cash and land that could be bought out in one go.
The two million six years ago, plus the years of companionship and care, made Myrna feel no guilt at all about taking the check for 50 million.
But she didn’t want to mention the complicated story in front of her parents and make them feel distressed.
Clara knew that her daughter might be hiding something, but since she said “clean and clear” and “with a clear conscience”, it must be true.
“So … so, I’ll be living in the villa soon?” Clara ‘s only concern was dispelled, and all that was left was happiness.
Myrna nodded: “They are all ready-made rooms. If you want, you can stay there tonight. Except for the sheets and underwear, everything else is complete.”
“There is a rockery and fish pond in the front yard, and a pavilion in the backyard. Dad can plant whatever flowers he wants in the future.”
Elton’s eyes lit up. “Is it this big?”
“You’ll know once you move in. You can buy seeds and turf in advance … ”
“I’ll place an order now! Buy the rack first. Your mom likes wisteria, so I can use it to guide the vines … Then buy a few pots of hydrangeas. When the flowers bloom in May, I’ll make Old Xie jealous … ”
Lao Xie is Elton ‘s colleague. They teach different subjects, but they have a good relationship because they are both experienced flower growers.
Teacher Xie moved out of the faculty and staff residential area a few years ago and bought a commercial house nearby.
Because it was on the first floor, there was a small yard, which he planted with flowers.
But because the area is not large, I can only grow some small potted plants. I can’t even think about growing plants like hydrangea that look beautiful only when they bloom in a large area.
Elton picked up his phone and started browsing Baby. Suddenly, he paused and said, “I’m moving to a new home. What should I do with this house now?”
Myrna : “Keep it.”
“Is it necessary?” After seeing other teachers move out, Elton immediately sold the house.
Due to its good location and proximity to the Second Middle School , many people have bought the houses, most of whom are parents from other places who come to accompany their children to study.
Of course, the price is great too.
Elton was reluctant to part with the old house, he thought that his daughter had spent so much money on the villa, and selling this house would at least provide some subsidy.
Myrna knew what he was thinking, but –
“Although I can’t live here anymore, I’ll still stay here and wait a while.”
Elton was puzzled: “Waiting for what?”
“We’ll know when the time comes.”
“It’s quite mysterious … ” Elton muttered.
It’s not that Myrna doesn’t want to talk about it, but things like demolition … the fewer people know about it, the better.
the news leaks out , trouble will follow.
As for how she knew this, she had to thank Ansel .
His company won the bid for a large shopping mall development project in Jef City . Myrna accidentally found the contract in the drawer while reading in the study.
Seeing the familiar words ” Jef City “, she couldn’t help but open it and take a look. She was shocked to find that the planning scope of the shopping mall included the staff community of the Second Middle School .
The specific plan can be summed up in one word – demolition!
“The girl from the sales department called just now and told me to go back tomorrow because there are some procedures to be done.”
Elton : “Can I move some of the potted plants over there tomorrow?”
Myrna : “Of course, the black box of the villa has been delivered. Now we just need to choose an auspicious day and move in.”
Clara : “Then I’ll pack some clothes and bring them over tomorrow.”
…
The next day, Elton and Clara got up early.
One was busy moving his flower pots, and the other was busy packing his clothes and shoes.
Elton even called a tricycle and filled the back of the vehicle with flower pots of all sizes. He squeezed into the front cab and said, ” Myrna , I’ll go with the driver first. Your mother will finish packing in a while. You two can go to the sales office first. I’ll come find you after I finish moving.”
“good.”
At ten o’clock in the morning, the sales department–
Jamie had been waiting at the door. When he saw her, he smiled widely: ” Myrna , here!”
” … these are the specific procedures, and it’s very quick.” She explained as she walked.
It was indeed fast. Ten minutes later, Myrna and Clara came out of the VIP reception room.
“Sister-in-law? Myrna ?” Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Clara turned around: “Brother?”
Adam wore a suit with a woolen coat, his hair was always slicked back, and his leather shoes were polished to a shine. At first glance, he looked more stylish than Earl , the real boss.
“Why are you here?”
Clara : “We are here to … ”
“How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye? I asked you to sit down and listen to someone introduce you … ”
Well!
Lynn ‘s complaints came to an abrupt end the moment she saw Clara .
