Chapter 494 Gift
Dou Dou and Duoduo went on a forest adventure, but of course, they couldn't take Tang Tang with them. That's why Tang Tang is upset.
She was sitting at the door, pouting, waiting for them to come back to have a big argument with them.
But with her brother by her side keeping her company and talking to her, she stopped being angry.
"The sun is shining, let's sit a little farther in," Shen Siyuan suggested.
But Tang Tang shook her head.
"My shadow needs some sun too."
Hearing this, Shen Siyuan paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Although children can be childish, sometimes the things they say are like poetry.
"Then we'll wait here, but... alright then."
Shen Siyuan initially wanted to joke that she'd turn into a little dark skin, but then he remembered she'd never been fair-skinned.
Probably when she was at the Rainbow House, with no one taking care of her, she'd play in the yard all day. Plus, the UV rays were strong in Bin Hai, so Tang Tang had always been a little dark-skinned girl.
Ever since Shen Siyuan brought her back, she's improved a lot, but still couldn't be described as fair and lovely.
At this moment, Tang Tang didn't get up but scooted forward, pushing her body forward to expose herself to more sun, striking a comical pose that made Shen Siyuan burst into laughter.
He then mimicked her action and moved his body forward as well.
He wasn't afraid of getting tanned either; having practiced the Sun Observation Method, the more sun he got, the better.
"Haha~"
Tang Tang and Shen Siyuan exchanged glances and laughed together.
Ruan Hongzhuang glanced over and commented, "Childish."
"Not at all, I think it's quite kind-hearted," Taozi replied.
Ruan Hongzhuang: →_→
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You're acting strange."
"How am I acting strange?" Taozi said a bit sheepishly.
Ruan Hongzhuang suddenly leaned her face close to Taozi, making Taozi's cheeks instantly flush.
At this time, Mao Sanmei came by with two cups of water, passed them without a glance, and was indifferent to their behavior.
She was used to it, having seen it many times.
Mao Sanmei placed the cups beside the two, gesturing them to have some water.
Tang Tang grabbed a cup and took big gulps without any hesitation.
Seeing her daughter drink water, Mao Sanmei smiled, then looked over at Shen Siyuan, only to find he was looking behind her.
She turned to see, noticing a property manager standing outside the yard with someone.
Mao Sanmei turned back to Shen Siyuan, who signaled her to open the door.
Soon, Mao Sanmei led two people inside.
"Ruan Ruan, someone's looking for you," Shen Siyuan called back into the house.
"Who is it?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked as she walked out.
Seeing it was the property manager, she excitedly asked, "Housekeeper Su, is there news about the house?"
It turned out Ruan Hongzhuang had previously asked Housekeeper Su to keep an eye out for any homeowners in the community wanting to sell their houses.
"No, Miss Ruan. I'm here to see Mr. Shen Siyuan this time."
"Me?" Shen Siyuan said, surprised.
"Are you Mr. Shen?" Housekeeper Su asked.
"There's no second Shen here, let alone another Shen Siyuan," Shen Siyuan stood up.
"Hello, Mr. Shen, the owner of Villa 26, Ms. Bai Yulan, has decided to transfer ownership of her villa to you without compensation. This is Lawyer Chang, who will assist you with the transfer procedures," Housekeeper Su said respectfully.
To tell the truth, she was also taken aback when she received the news. Her brain was almost overheating.
A villa worth tens of millions was gifted just like that. Are rich people all this generous?
In fact, Bai Yulan hadn't initially intended to give the villa to Shen Siyuan. Instead, she had asked the property manager to sell it and keep an eye out for potential buyers.
When Housekeeper Su learned this, she was delighted because Ruan Hongzhuang had just asked her to watch for any owners selling homes. Now, an opportunity had come, and facilitating this deal could earn her some benefits.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the homeowner of 26 heard that it was the female homeowner of 22 who wanted to buy, she immediately changed her mind, saying she wouldn't sell for now.
Then today, the lawyer named Chang came directly to her, saying he was instructed by the homeowner of 26 to help with the transfer procedures.
So now Housekeeper Su was also a bit puzzled.
If it was just Bai Yulan, Shen Siyuan might not necessarily know who it was because the person hadn't introduced themselves by name that day.
But as soon as Housekeeper Su mentioned the owner of 26, Shen Siyuan remembered who it was.
"Let's talk inside," Shen Siyuan said, turning towards the house.
Tang Tang saw Shen Siyuan heading inside and quickly got up to follow, even taking his hand.
Once Shen Siyuan sat down, she climbed onto his lap, sitting there obediently.
Mao Sanmei worried about disturbing their conversation, so she took Tang Tang away. The little one was quite reluctant and threw a small tantrum with her mom.
"This is Ms. Bai Yulan's power of attorney, her property deed, and the transfer contract she's already signed..."
After checking Shen Siyuan's ID, Lawyer Chang took out a stack of documents from his folder.
Shen Siyuan reached out to take them, then handed them to the curious Ruan Hongzhuang and Taozi beside him.
The two of them could be considered semi-professionals; they definitely understood these things better than Shen Siyuan.
"Did Bai Yulan leave any message for me?" Shen Siyuan asked.
Lawyer Chang didn't know the relationship between Shen Siyuan and Bai Yulan, but he was doing his job for money and wouldn't ask unnecessary questions.
Hearing Shen Siyuan's question, he quickly said, "She did leave a letter, stating that if you asked, I'd give it to you. If you didn't ask, there'd be no need to take it out."
As he spoke, Lawyer Chang handed over a sealed letter to Shen Siyuan.
Shen Siyuan opened it in front of everyone and began to read.
The letter was long, not only detailing Bai Yulan's experiences over the years but also about her daughter being kidnapped.
And in the letter, she expressed gratitude to Shen Siyuan for letting her see her daughter and knowing who her enemy was.
Due to cancer, she didn't have much time left, and her only wish was to seek justice for her daughter.
Whether successful or not, she didn't have much time left, and keeping the villa was of no use to her.
She initially wanted to sell it and donate the proceeds to charity. Upon hearing that Shen Siyuan's family wanted to buy a villa here, she decided to give it to him instead.
Whether it stays or is sold is up to him to decide.
Moved by her sincerity in the letter, Shen Siyuan did not refuse Bai Yulan's kind offer and, with Lawyer Chang's help, signed the transfer contract.
All that was left was to go to the real estate registration center to complete the transfer procedures.
Once Housekeeper Su and Lawyer Chang left, Taozi immediately jumped up in surprise.
"You just sit at home, and someone gives you a villa?"
"Yeah, it's like a pie fell from the sky," Shen Siyuan mused.
Taozi gave a sidelong glance at Shen Siyuan, then whispered to Ruan Hongzhuang, "What kind of relationship could Bai Yulan from Villa 26 have with him to gift him a whole villa, aren't you the least bit curious?"
"Stop trying to sow discord, I trust Si Yuan."
Ruan Hongzhuang laughed, lightly knocking her on the head.
Then she directed her gaze towards Shen Siyuan, especially at the letter he had folded.
"So, what's your relationship with her? How did you two meet?"
Shen Siyuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you really trust me that much?"
