Chapter 1227
Jasmine said, “You must introduce to me the girl who wins Julian’s heart. I’m curious as to the type of woman who can tame Julian.”
Josh drew close to her ear and kissed her cheek before uttering in a raspy voice, “You’re now part of the Bucham family. We will be the first to know when Julian finds a girl.”
Jasmine gave him a nudge. “The elders are around.”
Yet, he kissed her.
Sure, Jasmine was bold. However, she was shy to engage in any sort of intimacy in the presence of elders.
“The closer we are, the happier they get.”
Jasmine took a quick look at the oldies. They were going back and forth on the date of the engagement party to pay attention to the couple.
“Let’s go for a stroll,” Jasmine suggested.
Josh was more than happy to oblige.
“Mom, Josh and I are going to take a walk.”
Jasmine told her mom before dragging Josh out the door.
The floral display at the gate shimmered under the night sky. Josh had installed colorful fairy lights along the roses. Once the night took over, the fairy lights were plugged in and lighted. It looked beautiful.
The streetlights were turned on too, shedding light on the various luxury cars parked along the street. Jasmine told the man beside her, “I wanted to look for a man of my social class and be a landlady. Money will come into my bank account even in my sleep. I never dreamed that I would be with you.”
“I own a lot of housing properties and shops. My money is collecting dust in the bank. We can use it for investment. You can still be a landlady. The houses and shops under my name can be rented, and you can collect the rent. You are free to spend the money however you want. If you don’t want to spend the money, you can use the money to buy land and build houses to rent out. Make your money grow.”
Jasmine replied, “It costs a lot to buy land and build houses now. It didn’t cost a lot to set up a house for rental when the real estate market first took off. It was a sound business since the rents haven’t gone down.”
Her generation witnessed the property boom firsthand.
