As for Zhou Xiaoyin, although her relationship with Mu Yanjin did not end well in her previous life, they were engaged after all.
At present, Mu Yanjin only feels guilty and sympathetic towards himself, and he must not make any mistakes because of this woman.
Thinking of this, he deliberately moved closer to Mu Yanjin, and said in a somewhat intimate tone: "Yanjin, is this your friend?"
"I forgot to introduce you. This is my childhood friend Zhou Xiaoyin, and this is Qin Siyan."
"So it's our childhood friend. Nice to meet you. By the way, Yanjin, we both got up early this morning and haven't eaten yet. We just happened to run into each other. Why don't you invite us to have breakfast together?"
"Breakfast?"
Mu Yanjin's mind was full of Lin Jiaojiao.
It has been several days since we last separated.
I don’t know, have you figured it out?
Thinking of this, I feel both excited and nervous.
He wasn't listening to Qin Siyan at all.
Seeing the two of them being so intimate, just like an ordinary young couple, Zhou Xiaoyin felt as if a hundred needles were piercing her heart, so dense and painful that it was suffocating.
So, they were together last night?
It turns out that the two of them have become so close...
"No need, I've already had breakfast, if you have anything to do, go ahead and do it!"
Zhou Xiaoyin didn't want to stay any longer, fearing she would give up and her eyes would turn red in the next second. She turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Mu Yanjin: "Wait a minute!"
“…”
The corners of Qin Siyan's mouth that had just curled up in satisfaction disappeared in an instant.
Then Mu Yanjin explained, "I think that defense research report that Grandpa Zhou did a while ago is quite interesting. I was planning to ask for your advice when I have time. Let's go together! You should hurry up with Comrade Qin's matter."
Zhou Xiaoyin's eyes lit up, and she turned around to look at him in surprise: "When did you become interested in scientific research?"
"Of course! For our country right now, a breakthrough in scientific research is crucial. I'd like to discuss this with Grandpa Zhou."
Mu Yanjin said this in a serious tone, and it really sounded like that.
But in fact, he was just using this excuse to find an opportunity to find out what Lin Jiaojiao was doing recently?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn the topic to Lin Jiaojiao: "By the way, I heard that Comrade Lin took away a lot of information and books on this subject. I wonder where she found them from?"
"I don't know much about scientific research. As for books, that's her business. If you're curious, you can ask her directly."
Zhou Xiaoyin ended the topic with just one sentence.
Although she likes Mu Yanjin, she would of course like to talk more and interact with him more if she has the chance.
But what I said just now involved the private affairs of a good friend.
As a friend, she didn't want to say much.
Qin Siyan stood there, watching the two figures walking farther and farther away and disappearing into the crowd. She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with uncontrollable resentment.
His mind was filled with Zhou Xiaoyin's stunning appearance and the arranged marriage between them.
Either way, I have no advantage.
No, she must hurry and get those treasures!
He immediately took the money and prepared to go to the landlord to sign the contract.
Unexpectedly, the landlord regretted it.
"We clearly agreed before that we're willing to pay double the price, and I've already brought the money!"
The landlord was in a dilemma: "I know, but there's really nothing I can do. After I told you two that day, my wife told me when I got home that the house had been sold to someone else two days ago. Moreover, it was signed in a contract. It's all written in black and white. If I don't sell it, I'm breaking the law."
“Who did you sell it to?”
"This can't be said casually. In short, there is really no other way!"
"How could you do this? We clearly agreed on this at the beginning."
"It's agreed, but there has to be a first come first served basis, right? Besides, they signed a contract, and the agreement between us is just a verbal one."
"You!" Qin Siyan was extremely angry, but she also understood that the landlord was right.
Without evidence, it's useless no matter how big a fuss you make.
But this house and that box of treasure must be hers!
"Boss, is this really off the table? I fell in love with this house at first sight. Although it's a little small, it's very quiet. The alley is close to the main streets on both ends, so it's very convenient for everything. Could you please be kind and think of a solution?"
"Do you really want this house?"
"Yes, it is absolutely necessary."
The boss was also shocked when he saw Qin Siyan's firm attitude.
Although it's true that the alley where this house is located connects two main streets and is close to the school, it is quite convenient, but the place is too small and not very safe...
Why do you have to have it? Are you being taken advantage of?
But, who cares!
Since someone insisted on giving him money, there was no reason for him to refuse it.
So he bit the bullet and tentatively extended his hand: "It's not impossible to consider it. The main thing is that I signed a contract and have to compensate the other party. If you agree to pay five times the price, I will sell it to you."
"How much? Five times!"
"If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, forget it. The contract has already been signed. I'm sure I can sell this house!"
"Wait!" Qin Siyan saw the landlord was about to leave after he finished speaking, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, five times is five times!"
…
Ji Huaian came back early today, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Jiaojiao reading a book.
When Lin Jiaojiao looked up, she saw Ji Huaian standing in front of her with his back to the sun.
Even though the two of them have been together for such a long time, she is still amazed by his appearance from time to time.
The figure standing there upright in military uniform looks so beautiful!
Ji Huaian took off his military cap and sat on the stone bench next to him: "How's the shop going?"
"nailed it!"
"I knew that nothing could stop you. How about this, I have time today, I'll take you out for a walk."
"OK!"
Lin Jiaojiao agreed immediately.
Although I have gone shopping with Zhou Xiaoyin before, the feeling is different.
The two of them packed up and went out. They first walked around and then went to a more famous department store here.
It’s worthy of being Beijing, it’s much more prosperous than small places!
The building has five floors in total, each floor has different products, and there are many people coming to shop.
In addition to purchasing some necessary things, Lin Jiaojiao also carefully observed the things that could be purchased in this place, so that it would be convenient for her to take things out of the space later without being discovered.
Ji Huaian took her to a gold jewelry store.
"Why did you think of visiting here?"
"I've always wanted to come and see you. When we got married, I didn't buy you anything except a watch. Now I want to buy you something."
Even though Lin Jiaojiao refused, Ji Huaian still chose a gold ring for her without hesitation.
He even took the initiative to put it on her.
In Western countries, wearing a ring proves that you are his woman.
This is what Ji Huaian secretly heard from others, of course he would not tell Lin Jiaojiao.
