Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage

Chapter 443: Chapter 444: Mortgaging the Xia Family’s Old House

Liu Ruyan took on a mode of earnest persuasion, “Yangyang, listen to Aunt Liu’s advice. You should hurry and sell the twenty percent of shares you have. If Starlight goes bankrupt, those stocks would be worthless and might even plunge you into heavy debt. Aunt Liu is truly doing this for your best interest. If you are willing, Aunt Liu does not mind owing someone a favor to help sell your shares. Aunt Liu knows that you don’t lack the money, but if you can no longer rely on the Gu Family in the future, you will probably live a carefree life.”

Xia Yangyang responded coldly, “There’s no need for Aunt Liu to worry, I will absolutely not sell my shares. Since Aunt Liu has already sold her shares and made a large sum of money, why does she want to sell this house?”

The color of Liu Ruyan’s face changed, “The money from the shares isn’t enough to pay off the debt, Yangyang. You don’t know how much of a massive debt your father incurred from investments years ago. I warned him then, but you understand your father’s temperament, appearing polite and refined but stubborn as a bull deep down. He didn’t listen to anything I said. Now he’s got it nice, lying there not needing to worry about anything, all the responsibility falling onto me alone. After all, Aunt Liu is but a woman and there’s really no way around it. I have to sell the house to resolve the urgency. Yangyang, you have to understand my situation.”

Xia Yangyang was not oblivious to the tactics Liu Ruyan was playing.

With her father in his current state, she already found a new lover.

That Jia Xin was a well-known figure in Beijing.

If Liu Ruyan really got a hold of such a person, she would most likely leave this place with him.

What Xia Yangyang didn’t expect was that she even wanted to sell the old Xia family house before leaving.

Yet she consistently footed all the blame on Xia Liangdong.

It’s possible that Xia Liangdong had made losses with his investments these years.

But the exact situation was unclear to Xia Yangyang.

Liu Ruyan was taking advantage of this, leaving Xia Yangyang with not much to say.

With a cold laugh, Yangyang responded, “Aunt Liu, from what I know, my father still has several other properties over these years. Why not sell those and keep the old house as a mortgage?”

The color of Liu Ruyan’s face changed instantly.

Yangyang continued, “The villa in Mingyang Mountains is now worth five hundred million, plus the waterfront villa in Egret and the garden villa in Jingxie Bay have greatly appreciated in value too. Combined, these are undoubtedly worth more than the Xia family house. Those houses were also bought by my father. If my father wakes up and really needs to repay the debt, he will surely want to sell those houses first. Aunt Liu, wouldn’t you agree?”

Liu Ruyan’s face didn’t look too good, she didn’t expect this girl to think about selling those properties.

Most of those were bought after she had married Xia Liangdong, being their shared marital assets.

Given the current state of Xia Liangdong, the chances of him waking up were grim.

Those would eventually become hers.

She was even eyed by this girl, who remembered it all so clearly.

This girl was surely not as unambitious as she seemed.

It appeared she needed to be more alert.

Liu Ruyan replied with a smile, “Yangyang, give Aunt Liu some time to think about this. It’s not that Aunt Liu doesn’t want to sell those properties, that was actually her initial plan. It’s just there are some legal issues.”

“It wouldn’t be hard to solve, Aunt Liu. I have some friends who are very knowledgeable in this area, you can rest easy and leave this to me.”

“No, no, Yangyang, you’ve been working so hard taking care of your father lately. Aunt Liu can’t ask you for further help. Rest assured, Aunt Liu will definitely handle this properly and keep the old family house for you. What do you think?”

Xia Yangyang also revealed a slight smile, “That’s great, Aunt Liu, I’ll head upstairs first.”

After saying so, Xia Yangyang turned around and headed upstairs.
