Chapter 238: Hospitalized after a Beating
Speaking of this matter, Tong Yao found it strange. "No one answered when I called home yesterday. I’ll call again tomorrow to ask about it."
Si Chen nodded. "Usually, pay more attention to the situation on mom and dad’s side, so we can step in and help if needed."
Tong Yao bit her chopsticks, her brows furrowed with worry. "I think my Uncle and Aunt will definitely not easily give up the house. Things aren’t easy now, we probably won’t even have a good New Year."
With the rapidly rising housing prices in Kyoto, while grandpa’s house isn’t as valuable as the one left by her maternal grandfather, it’s still within the fourth ring road. Later, selling it for tens of millions wouldn’t be a problem. They currently aren’t short of money, so it would be preferable to hold onto the house and let it appreciate.
However, if they truly hold onto it, in another ten years or so, they likely wouldn’t have their share. It would be better to sell it while the housing prices are still affordable and buy a new house.
Si Chen also understood how difficult this situation is. He said calmly, "Let’s ask about the situation first. If it doesn’t work, we’ll follow the legal process. As long as we have grandpa’s will, we’re not afraid of them shirking."
"My parents’ mindset is to avoid legal proceedings as much as possible. After all, they are my Uncle and Aunt. But if we have no choice, we have no choice." Whenever these troublesome matters came up, Tong Yao lost her appetite. After absent-mindedly eating a few bites of food, she could no longer continue eating.
Si Chen was worried about her health. He took her wrist to feel her pulse to ensure nothing was wrong before he relaxed. Still, he reminded her, "Tomorrow, call mom and dad and ask when they’re free. Then, come with them for a full check-up."
