Final Chapter Reunion

One year later.

The high-rise buildings in the ancient city have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and have continued to emerge since the Chinese New Year.

All business units under Lin Zhenhua's "Lin Group" are extremely busy.

First it was the construction industry, then the building materials industry, and finally it was a joint sales with Li Jing's family's real estate industry, making a fortune.

This period was the golden age of the real estate industry when "the mother-in-law said she would not get married unless she bought a house."

The ancient city has created many favorable conditions for the real estate industry by building a subway, constructing the World Expo Park, and developing tourism.

Tian Xin's plan was the result of her personal experience in buying houses and investing in shops in her previous life.

Coincidentally, in order to earn money to support her family and pay off Liu Bo's gambling debts, she invested in shops and commercial properties everywhere, selling them when the prices went up. Then she continued to look for newly developed properties, buy them, and sell them again.

Therefore, she is very clear about the urban development plan of the ancient city.

In addition to the experience of working in the village, running a website company, and making a plan for a demonstration village, it was extremely easy to come up with such a plan for Lin Zhenhua and others.

But she didn't expect that these experiences would come in handy at this time.

Today is the day when a new real estate project invested by "Lin Group" is launched for sale.

Early in the morning, Lin Zhenhua called her and asked her to come over and take a look, saying that if she liked any of them, he could keep one for her.

She was too lazy to go, so she just stayed in her own shop and enjoyed some leisure time.

I've been running around all year and my legs have become thin.

Even after Lin Zhenhua made money, he did not forget to benefit her: he used his connections to transfer her job to the ancient city, gave her and her family a house in the city center to live in, and arranged for her younger brother to go to school there as well.

Tian Xin complained about being bored, so he funded a "Hanfu Shop" for her, selling mainly Hanfu and wedding attire, as well as wedding dresses and cheongsams, in the same neighborhood where she and Lin Zhou went to college.

She spends her time there after work.

Just after ten o'clock in the morning, Li Jing called and said that she and Zhang Shuai would come over to choose a wedding dress, and asked her to wait and not run around.

These two guys are making incredibly fast progress.

After Lin Zhou left, Li Jing laid her cards bare with her father, saying that she would not marry anyone other than that person in her lifetime.

When her father heard this, he was so angry that he almost collapsed. As a result, she cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide. After that, her father tortured Zhang Shuai again. The final agreement reached was: Zhang Shuai marry her.

Yes, what I said carelessly in the villa yard that day came true - or it was Zhang Shuai herself who said it.

Zhang Shuai definitely doesn't want to be a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family.

He went to Tian Xin and cried for three days, but his mother finally convinced him with three sentences: "I don't expect you to take care of me in my old age, so what else do you have to worry about? Do you want to waste such good genes to continue the Zhang family's lineage?"

Zhang Shuai didn't say anything.

His mother added, "Think about your grandparents, think about Zhang Wanben. How dare they ask you to fulfill your filial duty on their behalf?"

Zhang Shuai still didn't say anything.

His mother finally said, "Son, your life has been too hard in the past. You need to have a sweeter life in the second half. Live well for yourself."

——Live well for yourself.

Tian Xin also told him the same thing.

So, after three days of heavy drinking, he punched himself and cursed, "Grandson, you got it for free. Just enjoy your life and stop being ungrateful."

Then he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and agreed to Li Jing's proposal.

While waiting for them, Gao Wen called again to say that the child was not feeling well today, so she and Gao Chengji could not come. They would reunite during the child's one-year-old celebration.

These two are faster, and the child is almost one year old.

"It's so miserable, I'm all alone!"

She plucked the guzheng in the shop and happily played an ancient song, singing as she played: "How can I help but look back and see you frowning——"

"How can I sigh that which mountain has trees and which tree has branches - I love you but you don't know - but I missed too many things with you in my past life - how can I sigh..."

"Okay, stop being depressed!"

She had just said a few words when a voice came from the door: "I am also alone, what did I say?"

She was stunned and immediately turned around to look at the door - it was Lin Hai.

"Well, who did I think it was?"

She barely closed the piano and went over to greet Lin Hai.

Ever since this guy found out that Li Jing and Zhang Shuai were together, he has been causing trouble for Zhang Shuai.

Finally, it was Li Jing who ran up to him and said, "If you can beat me, I'll follow you."

How could he agree?

Li Jing is a Sanda champion, and he is also a gangster fighter!

He understood immediately after hearing this.

No matter what you do to someone you don't love, it's wrong.

"Who do you think you are?" Lin Hai sat on the sofa in her shop, crossed his legs and laughed at her: "Are you hallucinating about Lin Zhou? How can you sing a song like this?"

"What's wrong with this kind of music? Can't we play this kind of music? I want a piano instead. Can you help me move it here?"

She smiled flatteringly, and Lin Hai twitched his lips.

"Did you know Lin Zhou was coming back?" he asked.

"Know."

"When will you be back?"

"have no idea."

"Don't you have his phone number? Didn't he tell you?"

I haven't told you about this.

Lin Zhou woke up three months ago.

She went to see him three times that year, the last time being before Lin Zhou woke up.

After waking up, Zhou Ruilian said that Lin Zhou's memory was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the doctor suggested that he should not think too much for the time being.

Because of this, they never met again.

When he came back this time, Lin Zhou said on the phone that he wanted to give her a surprise, so he didn't specify a specific time.

Although she was anxious, she didn't ask.

I've already waited for so long, I don't mind waiting a few more days - he will come back eventually.

Her lover, her husband, the person she thought about day and night and missed thousands of times - her Lin Zhou, was about to come back.

Lin Hai felt annoyed when he heard her say this.

Among the seven friends, three are now in couples, and he is the only single guy.

These people didn't let him go and threw dog food at him whenever they got the chance. They have no humanity at all.

So, when Tian Xin kept chattering, he got up and left.

"Where are you going?" Tian Xin called him through the door.

Lin Hai's voice was carried in from outside by the wind, saying: "Move the piano—"

"Neuropathy!"

She cursed with a smile, then went to look for the music sheet.

I haven't played the piano for a while.

It was almost 11 o'clock and Li Jing and Zhang Shuai still hadn't arrived. She was getting impatient and prepared to close the door and go eat.

There are a lot of snacks in this place, and she likes to eat while walking around and feel comfortable.

"I don't know when they will come, so let's keep the door open."

Halfway through locking the door, she put it down and went back in to get her coat.

I took my coat and just went out, but then I realized I forgot my wallet, so I went back to get it.

"Oh, it would be great if there was mobile payment. I could just bring my phone..."

No, I didn’t bring my cell phone either.

After three trips in and out, everything was finally ready.

Satisfied, she put her bag on and turned off the light. Then she squatted down to tie her shoelaces.

Finally I can go out.

"Boss, how much is this——"

A clear baritone voice came from the door, and it seemed that a customer had come.

Hey, you came at the right time!

Why don’t you come earlier or later? I’m going to eat, and here you come!

You really know how to pick the time.

She gritted her teeth in hatred and refused without even turning her head: "Sorry, we're closed. Please come back tomorrow."

"Huh? Closed?"

The man seemed a little disappointed. "Closing so early? It's not even noon yet."

She still didn't turn around and replied, "I'm going to eat. If I don't go now, I'll starve to death."

"Oh." The man didn't leave and asked again, "Can you make money doing business like this?"

"As long as I can earn enough to avoid starvation, that's all I need."

"Haha... the boss is really free and easy. But--" the man laughed, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

She waited for a long time, but when he didn't say anything else, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

The man said, "I'm getting married soon, and I want to pick out a wedding dress for my wife. But since you're closed, forget it. I'll come back tomorrow."

"Wedding dress?"

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

Just when I was worried about not being able to sell my wedding dresses, this is what happened!

“Yes, yes, please wait a moment…”

She turned around immediately, and then her pupils trembled...

"……wait……"

"Then please recommend one for me! I want a dragon and phoenix gown, the kind that's unisex. I want to wear the same one as my wife."

The man before her had a bright, sunny smile, and was dressed in a white casual suit. He stood in front of her screen, which was covered in red wedding clothes, tall and graceful, without any superficiality.

Just one glance and her eyes turned red.

The man smiled lightly and took a few steps towards her.

The refreshing scent of mint became clearer as he approached, and soon "flooded" her.

She felt that her breathing was a little difficult, her chest was stuffy, and she suddenly couldn't move.

"So what does your wife...wear...and what size does she wear?"

Her breath seemed to be coming in unevenly, and the faint scent of mint, cool and slightly sweet, made her throat feel tight, unable to complete a sentence.

She swallowed hard, holding onto the hanger beside her to stand up, and watched the man stand in front of her. He slowly said, "It's about the same size as you. Please choose according to your size."

"This...this is not good..."

She wiped away her tears, took the bag off her body and threw it back on the sofa.

Then find a tape measure.

"I...I...I...I've lost weight recently, so I'm afraid there aren't many suitable styles..."

"It doesn't matter. Any one is fine. You can choose." The man remained calm and replied to her indifferently.

She randomly pulled a piece of clothing from the hanger nearby and handed it to him with her back turned: "Then... this one, bright red... festive."

"Okay." The man took it from her and asked, "How much?"

"I'll give it to you, no money required."

She finally managed to say a complete sentence, but her hands holding the clothes hanger were still shaking, and she was shaking so much that she couldn't even stand.

"How can that be possible?"

The man still insisted on paying.

He said, "Boss, you're so generous! My wife would be so happy if she knew you gave her this dress. However, she doesn't like to owe favors to anyone. If she knew I took the dress without paying, she'd definitely get mad at me. I think this dress is well-made and must be worth a lot of money. I'll just give you 999 for good luck."

"not enough……"

She began to cry uncontrollably, tears falling in strings.

The man seemed moved when he heard this. He said in a trembling voice, "Then, tell me a number."

"Five thousand... ten thousand..."

"Fifty million?" the man exclaimed, seemingly unconvinced, before asking, "Are you kidding? Are you sure it's... fifty million?"

"Yes, I'm sure, it's 50 million."

"That might be a bit expensive. I can't afford it for the time being." The man seemed to put down his clothes and turned around.

But he added, "I'll come back and buy it when I save enough money."

"I told you I'd give it to you?"

She hurriedly turned around, holding onto the hanger, and cried out to the tall figure who had already walked to the door: "If you leave, I won't sell it to you next time you come. Have you thought about it?"

“…”

The figure suddenly stopped moving and began to tremble slightly like her.

She then shouted: "Have you thought about it? Are you sure you don't want it? Lin Zhou——"

After this sound, the tall figure froze for a second.

Then he turned around and ran towards her with his arms open.

"I've already made up my mind. I want to..."

Lin Zhou hugged her tightly, leaned over and whispered in her ear.
