Wen Ying looked at Xie Qian, and Xie Qian looked back at Wen Ying. No one spoke for a moment.
As a poor student who had just been handed over, Li Mengjiao took a box of ice cream from the refrigerator, scooped at it and ate it while smiling secretly.
Since winter break, there had been no new material in Li Mengjiao's CP group. Wen Ying and Xie Qian wouldn't relay what they said on the phone to Li Mengjiao, so Li Mengjiao, the CP fan, could only revisit the old material like any other CP fan.
Xie Qian is back, and they can ship their couple again. Li Mengjiao is very happy.
Seeing her laughing foolishly, Qin Jiao pointed outside, and Li Mengjiao followed her out in a daze.
"Jiao Jie, do you want to eat?"
Li Mengjiao handed over the ice cream, interrupting Qin Jiao's planned conversation.
Never mind, he's just a fool, fools have good fortune.
"I won't eat. I've only been tutoring you for a short while and I'm already exhausted. Xie Qian has been tutoring you for two and a half years. Don't forget his dedication."
Li Mengjiao nodded vigorously while eating her ice cream. "I know. In fact, the person Xie Shen wanted to tutor the most was Wen Ying. The rest of us were just incidental. Xie Shen has no obligation to take care of us."
Everyone benefited from Wen Ying and also took advantage of Xie Qian.
Li Mengjiao was very open-minded. She didn't know how she could repay Xie Qian for such a big favor, and her parents couldn't afford it either. Xie Qian was richer than her family, and probably didn't need any material rewards from her family. Well, why think so much? Anyway, she was used to hearing Wen Ying's words. Wen Ying and Xie Qian were inseparable. If she returned the favor to Wen Ying, Xie Qian might be very happy!
Li Mengjiao sorted out the logic and immediately patted her chest to assure Qin Jiao: "I am definitely not an ungrateful person!"
Qin Jiao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, don't be so serious, I just said it casually, just keep it in mind."
For Qin Jiao, it doesn't matter whether she says these words or not.
Why say it now?
Qin Jiao turned her head and looked inside the house.
Perhaps it was because the undercurrent between Wen Ying and Xie Qian at that moment made it impossible for a third person to be present!
It would be better if the light bulb or something had some clue... Qin Jiao couldn't help laughing.
In the living room, Xie Qian was the first to break the silence: "I read The Crown of Thorns. Even if we put aside the fact that she plagiarized, she is still not as good as you."
Wen Ying suppressed the heat in her ears. "Not only did she plagiarize my story, she also imitated my writing style. Actually, Blue Whale has considerable talent. If she had worked on it for a few years, she might have become a big hit. But she chose to listen to Bao Lixin's instigation!"
Even if it is plagiarism, it can be done more covertly.
Blue Whale's "Crown of Thorns" is so blatantly plagiarized that it may not be Blue Whale's own idea.
It’s Bao Lixin!
When Bao Lixin was editor-in-chief at Chengdu Literature and Art Publishing House, he constantly urged Wen Ying to "play it safe," insisting she keep writing when she already had a successful subject. The novel "Galaxy and You" sold well, and the TV series was a hit. She chose to avoid the easy path to success and instead wrote "Searching for Yong," set in the setting of the Nine Cauldrons of China.
Bao Lixin complained that the opening of "Looking for Yong" was slow, that the foreshadowing was too long, and that Wen Ying was too opinionated.
Wen Ying wants to create the IP of the "Jiuding Series", which is the author's ambition.
Ambitious authors are difficult to control, and Bao Lixin opposes Wen Ying's innovation.
The two broke up, Wen Ying changed jobs, and Bao Lixin also left Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House.
Wen Ying still harbors no grudge against this man, who, unable to see the truth, insists on promoting a Blue Whale to rival Wen Ying. His actions, besides being driven by profit, also seem like a stab in the back. Bao Lixin is proving with his actions: If Wen Ying doesn't replicate the success of "Star River With You," then she shouldn't blame others for copying her.
"How can there be such a bastard?"
Wen Ying grew increasingly angry as she spoke, her cheeks flushing red. Xie Qian's voice was even softer than before: "Of course, normal people can't understand what a bastard is thinking. By the way, has Deng Juan's issue been resolved?"
Wen Ying was indeed happy when Deng Juan was mentioned. "It's solved now. At least I'm free from the demands of my family for now. And Sister Deng Juan has bought a house!"
Deng Juan bought a house.
After the New Year, Deng Juan was anxious to return to Beijing to work. In addition, she was not so picky about her living environment, so she paid the deposit after looking at only two houses in the area identified by Wen Ying. She was the first to make a move in the "Chengdu House Buying Group" formed by Wen Ying.
Wen Ying was thinking about the demolition compensation, so she chose the largest old house for Deng Juan within the price she could afford.
The house was so shabby that even Yang Xi looked down on it, but Deng Juan was very satisfied with it.
"Sister Deng Juan has returned to Beijing for work. She gave the keys to the house to my aunt. My aunt said she would help her clean it up when she has time. She won't do any major renovations, but at least it will be livable."
Deng Juan's house has a total of four rooms. Deng Juan now works in Beijing for a long time, and it would be a waste to leave the house empty. Chen Li discussed with Deng Juan that it would be better to simply paint the house, tidy it up, and then rent it out.
If three of the four rooms are rented out, the monthly rent is quite high. Deng Juan only needs to pay a little more to pay off the mortgage!
Xie Qian, who is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, did not feel bored at all when listening to Wen Ying talk about such a trivial matter of "renting to pay off the loan". Instead, he listened very seriously.
That's life.
It is Wen Ying’s life, and also...his.
Xie Qian also asked Wen Ying why she didn't buy two houses for herself, as they were old houses and wouldn't take up much money.
Wen Ying didn't care much: "I gave all my money to my mother to invest in stocks. Let's wait until she withdraws from the stock market this year."
Wen Ying didn't plan to buy more houses in Chengdu.
Wen Ying is now mainly persuading her relatives to buy more. Unlike her, her relatives do not have the rebirth cheat device, and they missed the current low prices and demolition bonuses, so the speed of accumulating wealth will be much slower than others.
Deng Juan was the first to buy a house. Wen Ying's uncle and younger uncle's families were both looking at houses and had not yet decided which one to buy.
Xie Qian thought for a moment, opened his schoolbag and took out a bank card.
"I've been using the one million you lent me for so long, it's time to pay you back. I won't pay you interest, but if you need money, just ask me. As long as I have more than one million, I can lend you."
Knowing that Xie Qian, who had signed the demolition compensation contract, really had enough of the 1 million, Wen Ying took the bank card without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll definitely ask you when I need money!"
Jianwenying casually put the bank card into her pocket. Xie Qian lowered his head and smiled, "Let's go to the study. I have something to tell you."
According to the information obtained from Tai Jing, Xie Qian had concealed the fact from Wen Ying for the entire winter vacation. At first, he could say that he did not want to affect Wen Ying's mood for the New Year, but now it is unacceptable for him to continue hiding it.
Xie Qian had already experienced the consequences of concealing something.
After so long, he finally managed to eliminate the estrangement between him and Wen Ying, and he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
Watching the two people go upstairs one after another, Aunt Liu peeked out from the kitchen and couldn't help but smile.
Aunt Liu has been taking care of Xie Qian's life for more than two years. She knows very well what Xie Qian was like before, and she likes the present Xie Qian.
—If only time could freeze at this moment.
