Chen Shuning wasn't sure whether to call herself lucky or unlucky.
Her misfortune was that, having had a stable job and a prosperous life, she lost her life in a fire at a newly opened la...
“Jianjun, you and Dawei are comrades-in-arms. We’ve met you before when you came to our house for the Spring Festival. Why are you being so formal with your uncle? If there’s anything you need, just have Dawei call me. Why bother coming all this way yourself?”
Wang Shufen couldn't understand the meaning behind Fang Cheng's words, but Chen Jianjun, who had been in the army for so many years, certainly could. Coupled with Fang Cheng's attitude towards the group after they entered, Chen Jianjun felt somewhat uncomfortable.
However, out of consideration for his comrade, he still planned to calmly explain the situation. He would help if he could, and if he couldn't, he would take a few more days off to accompany his sister and brother-in-law to inquire slowly, hoping they could eventually buy a house.
Even Chen Jianjun, who is usually good-tempered, noticed that Fang Cheng's attitude was off. How could He Chaoyang not see it? He thought that this really proved the old saying: even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
In Beijing, even the mayor wouldn't dare treat He Chaoyang like this, let alone a district secretary.
However, since it was his brother-in-law who brought the person, he couldn't show any displeasure. But the smile that had been on his face, which was originally happy because he could openly hold his wife's hand, gradually faded away.
He sat on the sofa, coldly watching the man behind the desk, waiting for him to continue. If the man said anything unpleasant, he was sure he would walk away immediately.
Just kidding, his mother is from Haishi, and she still has several properties in Haishi as part of her dowry. If he didn't find it troublesome, would he be staying in a guesthouse with his wife?
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to go back to his maternal grandfather's house and face that overly enthusiastic old couple and all those cousins here, which would take up his and his wife's time alone, would his wife have to beg people to buy a house?
Of course, this is not because He Chaoyang is unfilial. Although he kept it a secret from everyone before coming, He Chaoyang also missed his grandparents whom he hadn't seen for several years.
It was already a pity that his maternal grandparents couldn't come to his wedding due to health reasons. Now that he and his wife had come to Haishi, it would be a bit unreasonable not to visit the two elderly people.
He Chaoyang's original plan was to take his wife to stay here for a few days, and then take her to see his maternal grandparents and say goodbye to the relatives before leaving.
Fortunately, kind-hearted Aunt Wang prevented things from escalating to that point, just as Chen Jianjun was about to explain the purpose of their visit.
Aunt Wang spoke up first, "Let me say it, let me say it."
Here's the thing: Xiao Chen's sister and brother-in-law want to buy a house in our area, so they wanted to ask me which house is for sale nearby.
I just remembered you saying last time that there were quite a few vacant houses in the district that you wanted to sell! So I brought the people over to you.
"If you manage to get this done, shouldn't you reward me? I've come here to solve your problem."
Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng realized that he had misunderstood Chen Jianjun. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he quickly asked the secretary outside to pour tea, saying that he could arrange for someone to take them to see the house soon.
Of course, Fang Cheng was too disdainful to explain to Chen Jianjun why he had acted that way just now.
He didn't intend to personally take the group to see the house, but not long after, when he learned that Chen Jianjun's brother-in-law was actually the grandson of the Lu family, he regretted it to the core. Of course, that's another story.
