"I know...that's why I feel even sadder...I won't say anymore. In the end, I wish you and your uncle all the best, and I hope you can get through this together."

"Yes, please also convey my gratitude to Ye Zhi's aunt... Although I didn't go to Shanghai this time, I will definitely go to Shanghai in person to express my gratitude if I have the opportunity in the future."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll pass on the message for you."

"Thanks."

After ending the call with Jian Zihan, I was overwhelmed with inexplicable emotions. I ignored Lu Jia's presence and remained silent for a long time.

I just looked in the direction of Cangshan Mountain and witnessed the dark clouds being blown away by the evening breeze, and the setting sun sinking through the gap.

...

After leaving the hospital, I returned to my place and prepared to pack some luggage for use in Chengdu. I don't know how long I'll be staying in Chengdu this time. Although I'm concerned about the business at Jiulongju, I'll have to put that aside for now.

After I finished packing, I called Chen Jin. Now that it was time to actually spend money, I wanted to ask him if the money from mortgaging the car to Xiao Song had arrived.

After Chen Jin answered the call, I asked him, "Where are you?"

"I'm having dinner with the homeowners... Have you eaten yet? If not, come and eat with us."

"I'm not going. Let's get down to business... When will the money we owe Xiao Song for our car be available?"

After a brief silence, Chen Jin replied, "The money has arrived... I didn't give it to you."

I was somewhat surprised: "What's going on?"

“I was going to transfer it to you… but Lu Jia called me. She has already booked a bed at a cancer hospital in Chengdu and prepaid 200,000 yuan for treatment… She told me to keep the money from mortgaging our car… and make sure the studio business gets going.”

He paused briefly, then continued, "The owner I'm having dinner with right now is having trouble with his business and is urgently trying to sell his shop in Jiulongju. I've already agreed on a price with him... He's selling the 92-square-meter shop to our studio for 860,000 yuan, which is even better value than Cao Xiaobei's place... I've used 100,000 yuan of the money Xiao Song gave me as a deposit... We'll take out a loan for the rest once the property certificate is issued... I called the housing authority and they said we can get the property certificate tomorrow..."

What should I say?

"You don't need to say anything... Meeting a woman like Lu Jia is a blessing you've earned in a hundred lifetimes!"

I remained silent.

Chen Jin continued, "I'll transfer 50,000 yuan to your WeChat later... You can use it for food and lodging. This money can't be spent by Lu Jia again... Also, Lu Jia will definitely go to Chengdu with you, so treat her well and don't skimp on her food and lodging... And your parents, you must take good care of them... Don't worry about the money, there might be a 100,000 yuan rent payment tomorrow. If you need anything, just let me know."

“I understand what you mean… You should also take care of your health and try to drink less alcohol… During this period, I’ll have to trouble you to handle the work at the studio.”

"Let's not stand on ceremony... That's all for now. Call me if anything comes up; the client is waiting for me." Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"? Follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat to read the novel, discuss life, and find kindred spirits!
