In fact, Ye Zhi did spot Nicole in the crowd. Instead of avoiding her, she walked towards Nicole.
...
Rarely, she spoke first, with a smile, saying, "It's been a long time, Nicole."
"Yes... It's so good to see you again... It's like a dream!"
Ye Zhi smiled, then asked, "Are you here to buy a house?"
“I came with Michael to take a look… He’s getting married soon and will probably settle down in Dali. He happens to have some spare money, so he wants to buy a house for his wedding.”
After Nicole finished speaking, she looked at Ye Zhi. I knew she was testing Ye Zhi, and what she said wasn't a lie... but I felt it was unnecessary, because this matter had already been mentioned at the dinner party last night.
Ye Zhi glanced around and then remained silent; in just a short while, her assistant began to remind her to be mindful of the time.
Ye Zhi finally spoke to Nicole, saying, "I have to go to the city for a meeting now. Let's meet again tonight."
How can I contact you?
"Here's a business card. Just call the number on it."
After Ye Zhi finished speaking, she gestured to her assistant, who then took out a business card from the file bag and handed it to Nicole.
Ye Zhi didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the van parked outside. I didn't pay any attention to her back either, and turned around and followed the saleswoman to the rest area.

The house I'm interested in is 78 square meters. It doesn't seem very big on its own, but these vacation homes come with a lot of extra space. If I could convert the terrace into a bedroom, the usable area would probably exceed 120 square meters. Overall, it's quite suitable for living in.
Before signing the contract, I carefully weighed the options and ultimately chose to forgo the 20% discount offered by Cao Jinbo…
Yes, it's best to treat Cao Jinbo's favor with caution, especially since Ye Zhi's involvement is also part of the 20% discount.
...
It seemed effortless for me to buy another house in Dali. This time, I used my own name, making it the first house in my life that truly belonged to me.
Because of this, I feel that I have taken a big step forward on the road to marriage, and now I am just waiting for Lu Jia to come back.
...
Just as I was in a daze, Nicole whispered in my ear again, "Are you going tonight?"
Where to?
"I made plans with Ye Zhi, where do you want to go?"
I replied seriously, "Nicole, really, stop doing these pointless things. If you want to go on a date with her, just go ahead, there's no need to drag me into it... I'm really close to letting go of the past."
"But have you ever thought about how much pain she went through, struggling between life and death?... You can't deny everything just because you can't see it yourself..."
