639 Getting the apartment ready - Part 4
Saturday, continued …
Meanwhile
Junior as soon as he convinced his father and Hou Yi to take him to the football game was ecstatic. However, that soon moved to shock when Ton said that he was staying with their mother and Anna to help them finish things at the apartment for Alecia and James. They had talked about it all week, and Ton was coming to the game with him.
Why in the world are they getting this apartment when his father would not allow him to even move rooms within the apartment, let alone not giving in to his request that he should buy an apartment for him. Why should Alecia have an apartment and he be stuck at home. That was not fair. However, the absence of Ton might let him get what he wanted from his dad, as he was a pushover.
When they arrived at the stadium, Hou Yi took them to the Hou Enterprises Corporate Box. Junior was surprised as despite XF International having a box, he knew that today it was being used for entertainment purposes and he was resigned to having to share the box with others. Surprisingly the Hou Enterprises corporate box was empty. Thank god Uncle Yi knew how to make sure that he had a good time and took him somewhere without interruptions. That was going to make the task easier.
After arranging for food and drink to be brought in Hou Yi wandered over to the balcony door and headed out to watch the pre-game entertainment, leaving Yao Tan and Junior in there.
Tan turned to Junior and said "Your Uncle Yi knows that you want to talk to me about something and said that he would leave us alone for a few minutes. Now what is it Junior?"
"Dad we need to talk about living arrangements."
"Junior we have already had this discussion. But let me tell you something you do not know, as your Uncle Yi has just told me.? While he and Anna have given the renovated apartment to Alecia and James as a wedding gift, it has constantly annoyed me.? Apparently though they have offered to pay your Uncle Yi for the apartment as Alecia still has money left from that your grandparents gave you for your sixteenth birthday."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，
"That means you your buy me an apartment, Dad."
"Junior I have told you this before, I will not be buying you an apartment. Your grandparents are backing my up on this, and you cannot access your Trust Fund for that purpose. I was going to do it for Alecia, as she has demonstrated an ability to manage her money."
"But that money Grandma and Grandpa gave us was for our dreams…"
"No Junior it was not. It was, and they clearly told you this, a challenge to you to see if you could manage money. My grandparents, your great grandparents gave me the same challenge. In my case, I used that money for you three, and then went from there. I have never regretted my choice and it proved to your great-grandparents that I was responsible enough. Demonstrating that to them let them release enough money that has paid for you education, and with the help of your grandparents allowed me to complete mine.? I have earned what I own, and even to get to the position your Grandfather was willing to promote me through the company and take it over.? As to my trust fund from your great-grandparents I cannot access that until you turn eighteen."
"But that means in a few months you can buy me an apartment."
"Absolutely not. What have you done with the money your grandparents gave you? You spent all of it to follow a sporting dream that you knew was out of your reach and convinced your brother to help fund your dreams as well. He was lucky Alecia convinced him to hand over some the money to her to invest, and that is now under my control. He has said he me to keep control of it for some time."
"But mum said you should buy me an apartment given Uncle Yi was giving one to Alecia."
"Junior, your birth mother has no idea about what is important. And I can tell you if you had an asset like an apartment within weeks, she would have convinced you to hand it over to her.? She is trying to manipulate you for her own wants and desires."
"But she loves us dad."
