<h4>Chapter 557: His Wife Is a Genius (1)</h4>
The smile on Dong Xuezhen’s face disappeared. He did not expect her to make such a request.
He didn’t want to sell thend, but he had just said that Mu Huan could approach the Dong family if she ever needed anything. She had saved what amounted to his life, so if he didn’t sell thend she wanted him to sell, then he would be too ungrateful.
However, that ce was his home. It had memories of him and his wife to sustain him for the rest of his life. No matter what, he didn’t want it to disappear. He didn’t want her to disappear again. It felt like if it disappeared, there would be no more trace of his wife left in this world. It would be as if she had never existed, as if the past was just a dream.
Furthermore, his family had a history of Alzheimer’s. This illness had a high chance of being inherited. Now, his memory was no longer as good as before. If he didn’t have memories of the old house, he was afraid that one day, he would forget his wife.
Even if everyone in this world could forget her, only he couldn’t.
If he could sell thend, he would have sold it long ago given his rtionship with the Bo family.
But if he didn’t sell it now, this...
If he sold it, he...
Meng Yueman frowned when she saw Dong Xuezhen’s face bing increasingly sullen. Although it would be a huge loss if they couldn’t buy this piece ofnd, losing a few hundred million wouldn’t damage the rtionship between the two families. She couldn’t let anyone know that the Bo family was ckmailing him.
Just as she was about to say something...
She could only hear the following.
Mu Huan continued, “Uncle Dong, I know that you don’t want to sell thend because it belongs to you and your wife.”
Mu Huan had never been a person who would ckmail others into repaying their kindness. She could understand the old man’s desire to keep his memories. Hence, she would not force him to sell hisnd to repay her kindness. However, she would not let her husband lose so much either. This would not do. If that did not work, then she would make peace!
Not only did she want Elder Dong to keep his memories, but she also wanted her husband to sessfully develop this piece ofnd!
“Yes, that’s where we’ve lived all our lives. When I came back, I wanted to continue living there. If it weren’t for the fact that I really couldn’t sell it, I would have sold it to Junyan long ago.” Mu Huan had saved their lives, so she had raised this condition. If he didn’t sell it, it wouldn’t make sense. However, Dong Xuezhen really didn’t want to sell it. Hence, when he spoke, he looked reluctant.
He hoped that Mu Huan could make another request.
“Uncle Dong still wants to stay there, so you can just continue living there! Uncle Dong just needs to keep your family’s home and courtyard and sell the rest to my husband!”
The Dong family was a well-known family in Yun Cheng. Apart from the old house of the Dong family, thend of the Dong family included horse farms, gardens, theaters, and many other facilities. The total area was over a hundred acres.
“This...” Dong Xuezheng really didn’t know what to say. This was because Bao Junyan wanted to develop amercial center and a residential area. If their family’s home got surrounded by skyscrapers and bustlingmercial centers, how was he going to live in such an old house?
“Uncle Dong, are you afraid that the surroundings will be filled with skyscrapers to block the sunlight?”
“Yes.”
“Look at this map...” Mu Huan said as she took out a map of Yun Cheng.
“Uncle Dong, do you see the old temple here?” Bo Junyan had gone in to call Mu Huan, but she came out only after a while. It was because Mu Huan had prepared some things, including this map.
“Yes.” Dong Xuezheng did not know why she suddenly asked him to look at the map and the temple. However, he still nodded when she asked him about it.
