Chapter 337: We Are Just Travelers

It is said that birds of a feather flock together. The fact that he can become friends with He Ning actually means that they are the same kind of people at heart, but He Ning lets himself go and it is more obvious.

Because of family relationships, he knew his responsibilities from a young age and behaved in a more restrained manner, just to reassure his parents.

But whenever he has free time, he likes to hang out with He Ning, under the pretext that they are friends who can talk about anything, childhood friends, but in fact he likes the unrestrained spirit of He Ning.

People are strange animals. They all envy what they don't have.

Among his peers, he is too stable. As the saying goes, "everything goes to extremes and then turns into the opposite", this is exactly what he means.

Sometimes, he felt that he was quite worthless. He could not be as carefree as He Ning, but he always yearned to be like her.

When he learned that He Ning was going to buy a house in the capital, he was surprised and immediately followed.

It was not until he stood in front of Dai Qing that he could not help but reflect on whether he was too impulsive.

In fact, Dai Qing didn't have much feeling about Ji Hengan's following suit. This man and He Ning were childhood friends and had a special relationship. Didn't He Ning say it a long time ago that birds of a feather flock together? There must be a reason why they like to get together.

She doesn't care about that.

Seeing Ji Heng's embarrassed expression, Dai Qing simply waved her hands.

"What's the problem? You can buy one set or look at two sets. For Mao Jian, there should be no difference."

Hearing this, Ji Hengan snorted for a moment, then felt relieved.

After breakfast for a while, Mao Jian called and said he would come to pick them up in half an hour to go house hunting.

After hanging up the phone, He Ning clapped his hands and held Ji Hengan's shoulders.

"Brother Mao is a steady person, and the houses he recommends are all reliable. Sister Dai and I have already looked at the house yesterday, and it's in good condition. If there's no problem with this one today, we'll just take it. From now on, we brothers will also own houses in the capital. It will be much more convenient for us to go on business trips or travel in the future."

Ji Hengan looked at his boastful look and did not object. Buying a house was for his own convenience and he happened to have some extra money on hand.

"That's also thanks to Sister Dai."

If it weren't for Sister Dai's connections in the capital, they would never have thought of buying this house.

What place is this? The capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. It is a matter of face to be able to buy a house here and have a place to stay. Thinking about this, he was actually grateful for his impulse.

Dai Qing locked the door, and the others walked to the entrance of the alley together. After standing there for a while, they saw Mao Jian driving over.

"You've been waiting for a long time. There's a bit of traffic on the road."

"No, no, we just got out too." He Ning laughed and opened the passenger door first, inviting Dai Qing to get in. He and Ji Hengan sat in the back seat.

As soon as they got in the car, He Ning introduced Mao Jian.

"This is my childhood friend Ji Hengan. We grew up together and have a very close relationship. When he heard that I was going to buy a house in the capital, he also wanted one."

Listening to He Ning's introduction, Ji Hengan glanced at him and greeted Mao Jian politely.

"Hello, my name is Ji Hengan, thank you for your help."

"No problem, they are all within my business scope."

The two of them exchanged polite words, and Mao Jian started the car and left.

"The yard is a 20-minute drive from here, which is not too far. The surrounding environment is also good. The owner is still living there. However, he is already packing his bags."

After a brief introduction, the car arrived at the destination, Ruyi Hutong.

The three followed Mao Jian in, stood in front of a vermilion gatehouse, and rapped on the bolt.

The door opened and the owner of the house appeared. He was a man in his thirties. When he saw the people, his eyes lit up.

"Are you guys here to look at the house?"

"Yes, I'll bring people to see the condition of our yard." Mao Jian nodded and was polite to him.

"Come in and take a look. This is my family's old house, passed down from my ancestors. People have lived here all along. If there are people living here, then the house is not bad. Plus, we repair it every year, so there won't be any big problems."

The owner of the house looked at Dai Qing and the others, then stepped aside to welcome them in, describing the condition of the house as they walked.

This is a rectangular courtyard with four main rooms, three side rooms in each room, and a back room on each side of the gate tower. All together, there are thirteen rooms, connected by a corridor in the middle.

This yard is one-third larger than the yards of their two houses, which is similar to what the owner said. Because of years of repairs, the house is well maintained.

There is not only a well in the yard, but also an octagonal garden in the middle. The overall look is very exquisite.

Dai Qing took a look and indeed liked it, but she thought the price was not cheap.

After a round, everyone sat down in the living room. The owner poured tea for them and looked at Mao Jian, "How do you like my yard?"

"It's well maintained." Mao Jian replied pertinently.

"That's right. After all, this is our ancestral home where we grew up. Since the government gave the house back to us, our whole family has lived here. Now my father has passed away, and my eldest and second brothers have settled abroad. I am responsible for taking care of the old house, but I am also preparing to leave this year."

The homeowner said, sighing,

"My family has urged me many times, and I don't want to delay any longer. After the old house is sold, I will leave too."

Dai Qing listened to his narration and subconsciously looked at his face. His forehead was bright and shiny, and his wealth palace was plump and bright, which showed that he had the appearance of a wealthy family. However, his lower part of the face was flat, which meant that he would have difficulties in his later years.

The act of selling his ancestral home today will also become one of his regrets in his later years.

Listening to her story, several people expressed their understanding. Going abroad is popular now, and anyone with the ability wants to see the scenery abroad. They just listened to other people's affairs, and Mao Jian helped them ask the key questions.

"I wonder what is the minimum price Mr. Xu is prepared to pay for this yard?"

"To be honest, we brothers have discussed the price and finally agreed on 50,000 yuan. If you agree, we can go through the formalities immediately."

As Mr. Xu spoke, he looked at the expressions of several people and found that they did not look shocked at all. The smiles on their faces suddenly became much more sincere.

These guys seem to be quite capable.

"Since I wanted to sell my ancestral home, countless people came to see the yard, but most of them were scared off by the price. I don't want to haggle with them about the price. If you can accept it, we can talk about it. If not, you can look around again. I have no objection."

"That's natural. Buying and selling is entirely voluntary."

Mao Jian smiled and looked at He Ning and Ji Hengan.

"What do you think of this yard? If you don't see it clearly, just look around again. After all, 50,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. It's better to be cautious."

What he meant was that the two of them could discuss the price further.
