73 [Moving into a new house]
Xiang Nan then selected a single-family villa in Altadena.
It covers an area of about 600 square meters, with an indoor area of 300 square meters, three floors (with basement), and a usable area of 820 square meters.
It has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a cloakroom, a study room, a bathroom, a fitness room, a garage for three cars, and a beautiful garden.
Because of the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007, real estate prices in the United States collapsed, so this villa was sold at a discount, selling for only $520,000.
In the past when real estate was booming, such a large house would have been unaffordable for US$7 to 8 million.
Xiang Nan chose this house because of its good location. It is only twelve kilometers away from the California Institute of Technology, and it takes less than half an hour to drive. It is also very close to Howard's house, so it is very convenient to visit.
Second, the building itself is very beautiful. It is a French-style country villa with a simple and stylish appearance, luxurious and comfortable interior, and exquisite construction.
Third, its environment is very good. The villa is surrounded by green trees and lush grass. Most of the surrounding neighbors are middle-class people who live a prosperous and harmonious life. There are few vicious crimes in the community.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Xiang Nan bought it.
Dr. Kusapally paid for the house, and he thought the house was too small.
"The maid's room in our house is bigger than it." He complained.
However, Xiang Nan thinks that this house is already very good, and it will be enough for them to get married and have children in the future.
After buying the house, he moved in quickly without renovating it.
On the one hand, the house was only built in 2002, and it has only been occupied for five years, so it has been well maintained and does not need to be renovated.
On the one hand, he is quite busy with work now and has no time to worry about decoration. He plans to live in it first and then decorate it when it is not possible.
…
After Xiang Nan moved into his new home, Leonard also moved in.
He did not notify Sheldon when he moved, but asked a moving company to move his belongings while he was at work.
After Sheldon returned home, he thought his home had been robbed.
"Leonard, come back quickly. All your things are gone. Even the bed, bedding, and clothes are gone." He called Leonard.
"I'm sorry, Sheldon, I'm not embarrassed to tell you. Actually, I moved." Leonard felt a little embarrassed after receiving Sheldon's call.
"What, you moved?! Why didn't I know?" Sheldon said in shock. For a moment, he felt that the sky was falling and the entire Sheldon universe was about to be destroyed.
"Sheldon, I don't think we are suitable for living together anymore." Leonard said carefully, thinking about the words, "I'm sorry."
"How could this happen?!" Sheldon asked in confusion. He didn't understand why Leonard wanted to move out.
"Sheldon, you are too arrogant and selfish. You don't respect my work at all. You want all the credit, so I don't want to live with you anymore," Leonard explained.
"Leonard, do you really want to move out? You have to know that once you move out, our roommate agreement will be invalid." Upon hearing this, Sheldon quickly tried to persuade him to stay, "Since you and I are no longer roommates, You won't be able to enjoy that much power.
For example, if I win the Nobel Prize, I will not mention you in my acceptance speech; for example, when I am invited by Bill Gates, I will not take you with me; if I had super powers, I would not
I’ll tell you again.”
"Yes, thank you for reminding me, I can give up all these rights." Leonard was a bit dumbfounded.
"Really, okay then." Sheldon saw that Leonard was not getting along, so he had no choice but to nod his head, "Then I will officially announce that you and I are no longer roommates."
"Okay." Leonard said simply.
To be honest, as soon as these words came out of his mouth, he felt relieved.
"Sheldon, I want to use my last bit of friendship to give you a piece of advice." Leonard sighed again, "I suggest you sincerely apologize to Raj and ask for his forgiveness."
"Apologise to him?!" Sheldon was shocked when he heard this.
Raj not only stole the university science award that was supposed to be awarded to him, but also won the MacArthur Genius Award before him. What's even more disgusting is that Raj actually successfully developed a quantum navigation system... These achievements were supposed to be
It belongs to him.
Even if Xiang Nan apologized to him in turn, he would not forgive him, let alone ask him to apologize to Xiang Nan.
"I will not apologize to him, I will definitely come back with revenge." He clenched his fists and said.
"Then it's up to you." Leonard saw that he was still stubborn and couldn't persuade him any more, so he nodded.
…
After Leonard moved to Xiangnan's new home, he lost the shackles of Sheldon and felt more at ease than ever before.
Howard also often comes to visit, eat together, play games together, chat together, watch movies together...
This villa soon became a paradise for boys, harmonious and happy. Not only did Leonard enjoy it, but Howard also enjoyed it and forgot to leave, often staying overnight.
However, Lalita was very unhappy for a time when there were two more men in the family.
"Raj, why do you want them to move in? It's really inconvenient." She complained dissatisfied.
Almost every time she came to see Xiang Nan, she could see Leonard and Howard. With them here, it would not be cheap for her to get intimate with Xiang Nan.
"Actually, I'm doing this for your own good." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile, "They are not only my colleagues, but also my good friends. I spend more time with them every day than I do with you.
If you can't get along with them, there will be problems in our relationship. That's why I created this opportunity for you to have good contact with them.
In fact, as long as you stay with them for a long time, you will know that they are very good people."
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Lalita could only nod her head no matter how reluctant she was.
Xiang Nan successfully developed a quantum navigation system. After the news was reported by the media, the whole world knew the news, and she naturally knew it too.
Knowing that Xiang Nan would become a billionaire, she naturally fell more in love with Xiang Nan and wanted to marry him.
Therefore, even if she didn't like his friends coming to live at home, she had to endure it.
Otherwise, as Xiang Nan said, if she can't accept Leonard, Howard and others, then these people can't accept her. With the obstruction of these people, it will be difficult for her to marry Xiang Nan.
Therefore, she was forced to try to accept Leonard, Howard and others.
…
In the next period of time, Xiang Nan was busy with the research of quantum navigation systems and the calculation of "Superasymmetry Theory". His life was busy and fulfilling.
Emotionally, he and Lalita got along pretty well. It was just that Lalita kept urging him to get married, which made him a little distressed.
Lalita knew that Xiang Nan would have a net worth of tens of billions.
If she marries him, she will become the wife of a billionaire. From then on, she will have a BMW, a fancy car, fine clothes and fine food, and there will be no need to be a dentist anymore.
