At the age of 17, she fought for the glory of her motherland!

Chapter 1199 A child's confidence comes from his family.

"Hundreds of millions? Really?!"

When Grandma Su heard from her husband that the house He Xu bought was worth over 100 million yuan, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Really." Grandpa Su handed the phone to her. "Take a look."

Grandma Su leaned closer to look at her husband's phone screen.

As she looked at it, she couldn't help but gasp, "The housing prices in Beijing are outrageous..."

She knew houses in Beijing were expensive, but these were ridiculously expensive!

Grandpa Su said, "Not all houses in Beijing are this price. This neighborhood is in a good location and is built in a high-end style. It is a well-known luxury residential community in Haidian District."

However, before checking the housing prices, he didn't expect them to be this expensive.

Grandma Su said, "Xiao He's mother's family really gave their daughter a very generous dowry..."

"Hmm..." Old Master Su pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Xing... should have some fixed assets of her own before marriage."

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at her husband and said, "Before marriage? How old is she? She's still a long way from getting married..."

"It's still early," said Grandpa Su, "but that won't stop us from making preparations in advance."

The old lady probably understood what her husband was thinking. "Are you afraid that Xiaoxing will be inferior to Xiaohe when they're together?"

Grandpa Su did not deny it. "Our family background is not as good as the He family's, but it is not too bad either. The He family can buy a house worth over 100 million yuan in one go and buy Xiaoxing a car worth several million yuan. Xiaoxing can't be without anything. Even if she started a company, it is still in the startup stage. It is hard to say whether it will be profitable or not... Sometimes, a child's confidence actually comes from his family."

“You’re right. No matter whether Xiaoxing and Xiaohe end up together or not, she has to prepare a dowry before the wedding, no matter who she marries.” The old lady is usually quite frugal, but since her family is well-off, she won’t be careless about important matters.

Grandpa Su said, "Let's keep an eye on the housing market in Beijing during this period. If we find a suitable one, we'll consider it."

The old lady said, "We still need to discuss this matter with Xiaoxing's parents."

Grandpa Su nodded and said, "You're right. After all, they are Xiaoxing's parents. We should talk to them, and they should also contribute some money."

The Su family tea factory has always been doing well.

Although in recent years, Grandpa Su has gradually relinquished control and handed over management to his eldest son, the Su couple still have a considerable amount of savings in their personal accounts. They had long planned to distribute these savings among their children.

Although the eldest daughter and youngest son do not participate in the tea garden and tea factory, they each hold a small share.

However, their youngest son and daughter-in-law are a researcher and a doctor, respectively, and both have decent salaries and low desires for money. Over the years, their share of the profits has remained largely untouched and has been converted into company capital.

The elderly couple in the Su family want to buy a house for Su Xing now. It's not that they're being biased; they're just giving her the portion they originally intended for her in advance.

Grandma Su said again, "Oh dear, we need to take a good look and buy a decent apartment in a decent neighborhood, but not one like Xiao He's, which is ridiculously expensive."

Grandpa Su said, "There are no houses left in his neighborhood. Even if you have money, you can't buy one. Although houses in Beijing are expensive, there aren't many that expensive."

The two browsed through the online listings for a while, and soon their eyes were overwhelmed by the sheer number of options.

The two then decided not to rush into choosing a house. Buying a house is not like picking cabbage; it's something that can't be rushed. If you want to find a house that suits your taste in terms of location, price, size, layout, facilities, and other aspects, you have to take your time and look at it carefully.

They didn't have time to look at houses in Beijing this time. After they get back, they'll discuss it with Xiaoxing's parents and then contact a few real estate agencies in Beijing to help them screen some properties.

After selecting several houses, Xiaoxing was asked to go and see them in person.

Of course, the house I buy for her has to be one that she's satisfied with.

The elderly couple put down their phones, went to take a shower and wash up, and prepared to rest.

……

On December 30th, the elderly couple from the Su family set off back to Jiujiang.

Su Xing originally wanted to have his grandparents stay in Beijing for New Year's Day, but they insisted on going back.

Su Xing and He Xu took the elderly couple to the airport together.

On the way, Su Xing pouted and said unhappily, "Grandpa, Grandma, what's the rush? Why don't you just stay here and celebrate New Year's Day before you leave!"

He Xu also said, "Yes, Grandpa and Grandma can stay for two more days."

Grandma Su said, "I can't stay any longer. We've seen almost all the sights we wanted to see. I also can't bear to leave my chickens and ducks at home. I have to hurry back and check on them."

Grandpa Su also said, "When the holiday comes in a couple of days, it will definitely be crowded everywhere. The airport and train station will be even more crowded. We are old and can't stand the crowds. We have to hurry back before the peak of the travel season."

Su Xing pouted and said, "Alright, then next time you come to the capital, you must stay for a longer period of time."

"Okay, okay," Grandma Su agreed, adding, "Take Xiao He back to Lushan for a visit when you have time."

Grandpa Su also said, "Yes, go back and visit more often when you have time."

"Okay, I got it~"

"Grandpa and Grandma, Xiaoxing and I will definitely come back to see you when we have time."

The car arrived at the airport.

After parking the car, Su Xing and He Xu helped the elderly Su couple with their suitcases, check-in, and baggage drop-off.

When the elderly couple from the Su family arrived, they brought two large suitcases full of tea and local specialties. When they left, their suitcases were also filled with gifts, most of which were bought by Su Xing and He Xu.

They also bought some things while shopping on their own.

In fact, the reasons given by the elderly Su couple for their eagerness to return were only part of the reason.

There are two other reasons.

Firstly, He Xu would have to go back to his family home for a reunion on New Year's Day, but he certainly wouldn't be able to leave his elderly parents behind.

They didn't want to get involved with the He family's affairs, and preferred not to make things difficult for Xiao He.

The second reason is that they overheard their eldest granddaughter receiving a phone call, apparently inviting her to some event around New Year's Day, which she declined.

The elderly couple in the Su family knew that their eldest granddaughter had cooperation with many local officials, and they didn't want to interfere with her work.

Su Xing and He Xu guessed the first reason.

They felt both helpless and moved.

As for the second reason, they didn't know that it was actually a misunderstanding by the elderly couple from the Su family.

The person who invited Su Xing to the event was not an official from any region, but rather the annual meeting of the "Xiangqu" food factory.

Qin Houze called Su Xing and asked if she, as the third largest shareholder, could attend the food factory's annual meeting this year.

Both he and Liu Zhenghong very much hoped that Su Xing could attend.

However, Su Xing did not agree at the time.

She originally thought her grandparents would spend New Year's Day in Beijing, and she wanted to spend some quality time with them.

As a result, before New Year's Day even arrived, Grandpa and Grandma were going back home.

After Su Xing and He Xu helped the elderly Su family couple with their luggage check-in, they took them to the security checkpoint.

Grandpa Su waved to them, "You should go back now."

Grandma Su also said, "Yes, let's go back. We're about to go through security."

Su Xing booked them first class, with a dedicated security lane so they wouldn't have to queue and the security check would be quick.

“We’ll watch you go,” Su Xing said.

“We’re not in a hurry, Grandpa and Grandma, you two go ahead,” He Xu said with a smile.

When the elderly Su couple realized they couldn't get rid of the two children, they went through security first.

Upon reaching the security checkpoint, the two elderly people turned around together and waved goodbye to Su Xing and He Xu.

Su Xing and He Xu also raised their hands and waved to them at the same time.

"Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma."

"Goodbye."
