Su Qing and Shen Yu showed great interest in Zhou Yuwen buying a house. Shen Yu believed it was too early for Zhou Yuwen, who was only in his first year of college, to think about buying a house. Moreover, she had seen the news, which said that the national real estate prices were not stable and had a downward trend. However, Su Qing had a different opinion; she smiled and said to Shen Yu, "Don’t believe those expert predictions on the news. Yuwen is doing the right thing by buying a house now. The prices will only get higher in the future." "But Yuwen," she added sarcastically, "you shouldn’t be talking about buying a small apartment. Since you’re dating Yanyan, why not let her family chip in too? After all, you two will be living together. Get a bigger one, it’ll save you trouble later on." Su Qing’s comments were said in jest. When she married Yuwen in her previous life, she hadn’t contributed money herself. However, it wasn’t really her fault but instead the choice of Yuwen’s family, who felt that since her mother and she were alone, it was not necessary to spend her mother’s retirement money, especially when their own family could easily afford it. Still, Su Qing’s point was to provoke Zheng Yanyan. While Zheng Yanyan, on the other hand, was busy cooking tripe and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Su Qing. As for Zhou Yuwen buying a house in Jinling, Zheng Yanyan kept silent. After all, she was a Capital city girl and her thoughts were different from those of Shen Yu and the others. Zheng Yanyan had never considered staying in Jinling; hence, she thought Yuwen was buying the house rather early, as she hadn’t planned on going to the Capital city with him. Besides, the small apartments wouldn’t really appeal to her taste. Real estate in the Capital city was immensely expensive, and locals seldom purchased properties. Most often, they would receive compensation housing following the demolition of old buildings. Zheng Yanyan’s home was part of such a compensation deal in the 2000s—a multi-story walk-up apartment of over 120 square meters, which was quite desirable then. However, with the rapid development of the Capital city over the next decade, seeing all the new types of houses and various decors, Zheng Yanyan had started looking down on her own home.Nôv(el)B\\jnn But for residents of the Capital city who already had a home, it would be impossible to buy another piece of property, even if Zheng Yanyan’s family had some wealth. Her family had prepared a dowry for her, planning to buy a smaller three-bedroom apartment with her future husband’s family in the Capital city, which she would then decorate herself. Zhou Yuwen’s family was in a pretty good financial situation. After seeing Yuwen buy a car, Zheng Yanyan truly considered getting serious with him and had even discussed this with her parents during the holiday break. "Just admit whether you’d like that or not?" "Living off somebody doesn’t taste good." Yuwen laughed briefly. After a short exchange between them, Zheng Yanyan returned with Lu Lin, looking disdainfully at Su Qing chatting with Yuwen and sneered, "What bad things are you saying about me now?" "I don’t dare. You made Yuwen delete me from his contacts; what could I possibly say?" Su Qing responded. Yanyan snorted, "Are we about done eating? If so, let’s leave. I’ve paid the check." "?" Su Qing was taken aback, clearly not expecting this. "Why look at me with that expression? Is it so strange?" "Didn’t you say Yuwen should pay?" "Why should he pay? To make you call me a gold digger?" Yanyan was contemptuous; she liked to pester Yuwen for gifts and meals, but in her eyes, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Although they hadn’t gotten intimate, Yuwen had touched and kissed her, so what’s the harm in wanting some gifts? However, Su Qing just had to stick her nose in. It irritated Yanyan to spend four hundred yuan on a meal, equivalent to the loss of a piece of clothing. Yanyan pulled Yuwen to his feet, and defiantly told Su Qing, "I just want you to know that Yuwen and I are still very close, so don’t bother trying to break us apart."
