Chapter 302: The Purpose is Not Pure

Listening to Xingzhou's arrangements, Dai Qing nodded, "Sorry for the trouble."

Since he chose to avoid the topic, Dai Qing didn't force him. After all, the two of them were deeply involved and couldn't be separated in a few words. But in return for introducing the house, she would remind him again before leaving.

"It's all as I should. I just happened to meet you." Xing Zhou smiled politely, agreed on a time, and drove away.

Dai Qing looked at the direction he left and shook her head helplessly. Just as she was about to turn around and go in, she was stopped by someone.

"Miss Dai, wait a moment."

Looking at Yilin walking towards her, Dai Qing raised her eyebrows. Has she caught up with me?

As expected, his mind was not pure and he lacked confidence in himself.

It only took a short while for him to catch up.

"You looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you. I want to talk to you." Yilin looked at Dai Qing and pointed to the coffee shop across the street with a smile, "Would you like to have a cup of coffee together?"

"No, I'm not used to drinking that stuff. Let's talk here if you have anything to say." Dai Qing looked at her and walked to the tree next to the hotel.

Yilin looked at Dai Qing's attitude with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"Xing and I were high school classmates, and it has been ten years now. Although we haven't had a passionate relationship, our relationship has always been stable."

"The year I went abroad to study, Brother Xing saw me off and said he would wait for me to come back. I returned as promised, and we will be married soon."

"We can definitely go from campus to wedding dress."

Yilin said, looking at Dai Qing's calm expression, and frowned subconsciously.

"Aren't you going to congratulate us?"

Seeing her expectant look, Dai Qing chuckled, "You don't like him at all, why bother?"

Yilin: “…”

Seeing her looking at him in shock, Dai Qing said calmly, "And you already have someone you like."

"…What nonsense are you talking about? I am Brother Xing's first love, and I am the irreplaceable person in his heart. Don't think that you can steal his love just because you are young. I tell you, as long as I am here, you can forget about it."

Yilin frowned and stared at Dai Qing with disdain in her eyes.

"You are a person from a small place, and you just want to settle down in the capital, but Brother Xing is definitely not someone you can get involved with."

"Ms. Yilin, you have impure thoughts. Do you think everyone has the same purpose as you? Xingzhou is not a fool. He has feelings for you and can tolerate everything about you. Once he wakes up, do you think you can hide it?"

Dai Qing looked at her stiff expression and curled her lips.

"I don't know what your purpose is, but it's true that you don't like him. How long can you endure facing someone you don't love every day?"

Yilin: “…”

Could it be that Xing Zhou really saw something? Why did this damn girl know so much?

"I'm a fortune teller. I can see things that others can't see." Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Dai Qing smiled and spoke directly.

"Physiognomist...you?"

After Yilin was surprised, her eyes were full of ridicule.

"So you're a charlatan. In this modern age, you still believe in feudal superstition. Does Brother Xing know your occupation? You look young. Why do you have to cheat people when you can do something else?"

I thought he was some kind of person. So that's what he is.

She even thought she had encountered a powerful enemy, but now she is relieved.

"If you hurt others at will, speak immorally, and commit sins, you will end up having to pay the consequences yourself."

Dai Qing looked at her calmly and reminded her softly. Seeing her blushing cheeks, Dai Qing ignored her and turned back to the hotel.

It was really unlucky for Xingzhou to meet such a woman.

Yilin stood at the door of the hotel, watching Dai Qing's figure disappear in the stairwell, and the smile she had been trying to maintain on her face completely disappeared.

"A country bumpkin wants to compete with me. Dream on."

So what if she doesn't love me? As long as she wants it, it's hers.

Dai Qing returned to her room, washed up, and sat cross-legged on the bed to practice her mind skills. She didn't take Yilin's matter to heart at all.

Early the next morning, Dai Qing changed into light clothes, went downstairs to have breakfast, and took a walk around the neighborhood. While exercising, she also got familiar with the surrounding road conditions.

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that I returned to the hotel with the fruit.

The weather in the capital is quite dry. After being outside for half a day, my skin feels dry.

After a quick wash and some fruit, I lay down on the bed for a nap, waiting for Xingzhou to come over.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Xing Zhou called her and Dai Qing went downstairs to go see the house with him.

“The courtyard house is near the bell tower, and the location is good. It is convenient for traveling. As for its future commercial value, it is difficult to evaluate at present.”

While driving, Xing Zhou introduced her to the location and investment value of the house.

"At present, the public only thinks that houses have residential value but not commercial value, mainly because they have not yet developed the awareness of buying houses. The fact that you can think of buying a house in advance means that you are ahead of many people."

Hearing Xingzhou's tone, Dai Qing smiled awkwardly.

"It was just a sudden idea. I didn't want to stay in a hotel every time I came here. Having a home to live in is convenient and gives me peace of mind."

Xing Zhou's analysis was correct. People at that time did not have the awareness of buying houses, and many people still relied on their work units to distribute houses. By the time everyone realized the importance of houses, the housing prices were no longer affordable for them.

"That's right. If you have extra money, it would be appropriate to buy a few houses and keep them there."

Xing Zhou held the steering wheel and echoed with appreciation.

He studies sociology, which overlaps with economics in that both study human behavior, including production, consumption, and distribution.

Therefore, his business sense is sharper than that of ordinary people.

After driving for half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of Zaoshu Hutong. Xing Zhou got off the car and introduced the surrounding environment to her.

"Let's go, the owner is already waiting at home."

After walking two doors down the alley, Xing Zhou stopped and pointed at the gatehouse in front of him.

"Here it is. The owner is a very particular person. I heard that he has done a good job of cleaning the house. Many places have been repaired."

When I pushed the door open and walked in, there was a rectangular courtyard. There was a small square table and a few small chairs under the corridor of the main house. A middle-aged man was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

"Mr. Xing is here. Come have a cup of tea first. It's freshly brewed, first-class jasmine tea."

"Thank you. This is Miss Dai who wants to buy a house. I'll bring her to see the house."

Xing Zhou nodded politely and gave a brief introduction to the two of them.

"This is Mr. Xun, the owner of this courtyard."

"Mr. Xun, sorry to bother you."

Dai Qing greeted politely and couldn't help but look around the courtyard in front of her.

"You are too polite, little girl. My courtyard was renovated last year because of the elderly in my family. We specially renovated the bathroom. All the residents of Zaoshu Hutong participated in the renovation. This is the only courtyard with a bathroom in this area."
