In the next morning, Judson asked Diana go to work first. He stayed at home after breakfast. After cleaning up, Sally found Judson was still there, so she looked at him in doubt, “Judson, don't you go to work?”
Judson said with smile to Sally, “Mom, I am waiting for someone.”
“Who?” Sally asked.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door suddenly. Judson gave Sally a wink, Sally walked to open the door. Then she saw eight men in moving company clothes walk in.
“Judson, what is it all about?” Sally was confused.
Judson said with smile to Sally, “Mom, I called them here. We will move today. I bought a house in the city center yesterday. It is fine decoration, so we can directly live in it. The house is bigger than this house. Pack up your things now. Don't pack up the furniture, just your clothes.”
“Bought.. Bought a house?” Sally asked incredulously. It was too sudden. Buying a house was a big deal. But why it sounded like to buy cabbage to Judson?
Judson nodded, “Mom, it is just a house? Isn't their Shaw family always laughing at us that we never be able to afford a house in city center? It's just a house! The house we're living in is small, so we'll move to the city center some day!”
“But...” Sally was shocked. She felt something was wrong, but there was no proof. Just when she wanted to ask again, Judson had gone back to the bedroom to pick up things.
It was impossible to move all at once. In the morning, Sally followed the van to ZZ Villa. When Sally stood in front of the villa, she was completely stunned.
Pointing at the door of the villa, she stammered, “Judson, this, this, this... this is the house you bought?”
Judson took out the key and the smart door opened. Judson gave a key to Sally and said, “Yes, the door is open. I bought it yesterday. Bruce told me the villa here is good, so I bought it. How's it, Mom? It is pretty good, right? Hey hey... Give Diana a surprise tonight.”
Sally was completely stunned, looking at Judson with extremely complex face. This was the best villa area in N City! Buying a house needed money and status! Everyone lived here was famous in N City! Even the Shaw family could not buy a house here!
So Sally said to Judson, “Judson, here is the ZZ Villa! Is this really our new home? Are you sure you didn't lie to me?”
Judson was confused, “Mom, I gave you the key. This is of course our new home.”
Sally twitched her mouth, “You can’t buy a house here only with money. You also need status!”
Judson did not think about it. He did not know there was this kind of requirements. Bruce bought it yesterday and did not tell him about this, because Bruce could buy a house here with his identity.
Judson waved his hand and said, “Mom, don't worry about it. Go in. The workers are waiting. If you don't believe me, I'll just show you my house property certificate book later...”
Sally did not know what to say. She nodded and went in, but she was not at ease, so she let Judson show her the house property certificate. She looked at it carefully before she was sure that the house was really bought by Judson yesterday!
After confirming this, Sally was shocked. She gave back the house property certificate to Judson with shivering hands. She said, “Judson, how much money do you have in the end?”
