Chapter 335 Good News and Big Trouble
Seeing Fang Yuqing's shy face, Cheng Xuyuan's heart was moved.
"What good news?"
"I heard from my uncle that the higher-ups are considering making some adjustments to the divorce policy. It seems that some of the current restrictions will be relaxed." Fang Yuqing's voice couldn't help but become a lot lighter.
After all, as a girl who is not married yet, it is a bit embarrassing to tell my boyfriend about divorce now.
Cheng Xuyuan was not surprised by this.
After all, he was well aware of the developments and changes in later generations, and he knew clearly that this restriction had to be relaxed.
But for Fang Yuqing, this is really good news that makes people excited.
Looking at the satisfied Fang Yuqing, Cheng Xuyuan could feel the pressure Fang Yuqing was under beneath this smile.
After all, his current identity is still a married man.
He held Fang Yuqing's hand, pinched her lovingly, and said teasingly with a smile: "This is indeed good news. I guess you will get what you want and take me for yourself!"
"Such a good thing, shouldn't we celebrate it?"
When Fang Yuqing saw Cheng Xuyuan winking at her and deliberately teasing her, her face became even redder.
Just when the two were being affectionate with each other, a light cough was heard.
Cheng Xuyuan turned his head and saw Fang Yuanfeng, who was watching them walk out with a cigarette in his mouth, not far away.
"Brother Yuanfeng, Happy New Year!"
Seeing his innocent little sister being so intimate with Cheng Xuyuan without paying attention to others, Fang Yuanfeng regretted it even more. Why did he come to pick up this brat? Did he want his sister to see him as soon as possible?
But it was no use for him to regret. Now that he was here, he naturally had to say hello to Cheng Xuyuan.
"Xuyuan, Happy New Year. Did your journey go smoothly?"
This is a meaningless sentence, just used as a greeting.
In response to Fang Yuanfeng's words, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Yuanfeng. It went smoothly."
"Let's go, I borrowed a jeep."
"Let me take you home first." Fang Yuanfeng said as he pointed to a dark green jeep outside the train station.
"Thank you, Brother Yuanfeng." Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly thanked him. After all, the other party had lent him a car.
But before he could finish thanking her, Fang Yuqing said directly: "Xuyuan, you don't have to thank my brother. He borrowed this car for his own use two days ago."
"It's just that today, I pulled you here to pick you up, that's all!"
Hearing this, Fang Yuanfeng was speechless.
After all, she is my sister, and I can only listen to what she says.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Look at what you said. No matter what, Brother Feng is here to pick me up. I must be grateful for this favor."
"Okay, stop making empty promises. Just thank me verbally and help me do something practical!" Fang Yuanfeng waved his hand.
"What's the matter?" Although he knew that Fang Yuanfeng would not force him, Cheng Xuyuan still asked the question calmly.
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who looked like he wanted to know something first, Fang Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that Mr. Cha will come after the New Year, and you will also participate in the reception."
"Well, can you let me meet with Mr. Cha?"
"The more I read his novels, the more I admire this man."
Cheng Xuyuan almost burst out laughing. It turned out to be such a thing! He thought to himself that this brother-in-law was usually quite serious, but he didn't expect that he was actually a martial arts fan.
He immediately agreed: "Brother, if there is a chance, I will definitely arrange it for you."
"But you also know that no one can predict such things."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan agreed, Fang Yuanfeng said, "Just do your best. I just want to ask you a few questions in person."
"Nothing else."
As they were talking, the three of them got into the jeep.
In just over ten minutes, the car had already stopped at the Overseas Chinese Apartment. At this time, the Overseas Chinese Apartment was also full of the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, and some conspicuous places were written with blessing characters and couplets.
"Brother, you go back first. I will help Xuyuan clean up the room and then I can go home." Fang Yuqing said to her brother when she and Cheng Xuyuan got off the car.
Fang Yuanfeng looked at the Overseas Chinese Apartment for a while, then smiled and said, "That won't work. When I came out today, my mother asked Xiao Cheng to come to our house for dinner."
"I have a mission to complete. If I go back alone, I will just be scolded."
"So, I'll just let you two continue to be the driver."
Although he said this, Fang Yuanfeng was secretly muttering in his heart, you two are willing to do this, how can I let you two stay alone together at this time?
I haven't seen him for many days. Besides, this is Cheng Xuyuan's home. If anything goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to my family?
Looking at her brother who looked like he was relying on you guys, Fang Yuqing felt depressed.
Although she didn't have the urge to take the last step with Cheng Xuyuan, after all, they hadn't seen each other for many days, so she still hoped to be alone with Cheng Xuyuan for a while.
Fang Yuanfeng, who doesn't understand romance!
How could she know that this was what her brother was worried about.
"Brother, you are so annoying!" Fang Yuqing couldn't help but mutter to her brother.
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Fang Yuqing and smiled, "Brother is doing this for our own good. He's afraid that we'll have to ride our bikes again when we go to Shijingshan later."
"Brother, go upstairs and have a glass of water."
Hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Cheng Yuanfeng felt that this guy really had a keen eye, and Cheng Xuyuan saw through his thoughts at once.
But what can I do if I see through it? As long as you haven't married my sister, you can't cross the line! Cheng Yuanfeng did not refuse Cheng Xuyuan's invitation.
He readily agreed, "I've heard that the Overseas Chinese Apartments are very comfortable. I'll take a look too."
Cheng Xuyuan's house has not been occupied for more than twenty days, but it is still warm as spring inside.
After all, although Cheng Xuyuan was not there, the heating was on.
Looking at the spacious living room, the large color TV brought from Hong Kong, and the furniture that he couldn't name the brand but looked high-end at a glance, Fang Yuanfeng felt envious.
He also has his own place to live, but it is far inferior to here.
To be honest, Shijingshan is not as comfortable as here.
"Brother, you watch TV for a while. I'll pack up first." Cheng Xuyuan greeted Fang Yuanfeng while putting his luggage in the storage room.
Fang Yuanfeng said: "Let me take a look at the layout of your home."
After a tour of Cheng Xuyuan's home, what impressed Fang Yuanfeng the most was Cheng Xuyuan's study. Although there were many books, it was neat and tidy.
However, what interested him most was the octagonal table and several huanghuali chairs placed in an empty room of Cheng Xuyuan.
These things are obviously old items, but they don’t match Cheng Xuyuan’s house.
"Xuyuan, your table and chairs are quite old, but they are not very suitable to be placed here."
Cheng Xuyuan handed Fang Yuanfeng a glass of water and said with a smile: "This kind of old item is of course more suitable to be placed in a courtyard."
"But now, it's not easy to find a courtyard house with a property ownership certificate and someone willing to sell it."
Cheng Xuyuan had just finished his sigh when Fang Yuanfeng said, "I have a friend who is planning to sell the house he just got back."
“The price is just too high!”
Cheng Xuyuan automatically threw aside what Fang Yuanfeng had said before. He looked at Fang Yuanfeng and said, "Brother, where is the house you mentioned?"
"How much?"
Fang Yuanfeng said: "The location is good, it's right next to the Yanjing Literary Association, but the price is a bit high, he wants 18,000 yuan, who can afford it!"
Eighteen thousand yuan!
Hearing this number, Cheng Xuyuan didn't think it was a big deal.
The two books he writes for Wenhui Daily and Jinwanbao earn him tens of thousands of yuan a month, not to mention the publishing fee for Ming Pao's Story of the Ming Dynasty, which he has not yet received.
The price of this courtyard house is nothing to him.
"Brother, when are you free, let's go take a look."
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's excited look, Fang Yuanfeng instinctively wanted to repeat the price of 18,000 yuan. However, looking at the clean, tidy and spacious Overseas Chinese Apartment, he suddenly remembered that this was a man who was not short of money.
According to Qin Wenhui's guess during the Chinese New Year, he now has tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
"If you really want, I'll take you to see it."
"But Xuyuan, what do you need so many houses for? You can't use them."
"Isn't the Overseas Chinese Apartment big enough for the two of you?"
Facing Fang Yuanfeng who was almost preaching, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother, I like the courtyard house. Living here is a bit boring."
Bored? Such a high-end community, you are still picky? Really!
Fang Yuanfeng couldn't feel it, but since Cheng Xuyuan was interested, he could only help.
After packing up their things, Cheng Xuyuan and Fang Yuqing went to Fang's house together.
Unfortunately, Fang Gengsheng was not at home, and Qin Wenhui and his wife had an appointment, so during this meal, only Fang Yuanfeng accompanied Cheng Xuyuan to drink a little.
But the atmosphere of this meal was still very good.
Meng Fanjin was already very satisfied with her son-in-law Cheng Xuyuan. Coupled with the good news her brother told her, she naturally liked Cheng Xuyuan more and more.
When Cheng Xu gets married, and then graduates and marries Fang Yuqing, then I can enjoy a peaceful and happy life...
So Meng Fanjin asked Cheng Xuyuan about his family situation out of concern, and asked Cheng Xuyuan to write a letter to invite Cheng Jiaxing and his wife to visit Beijing when he was free, and also...
After having a warm dinner at Fang's house, around 11 o'clock in the evening, Cheng Xuyuan rode Fang Yuqing's bicycle and returned to the Overseas Chinese Apartment under the moonlight.
Cheng Xuyuan stopped his bike and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly heard someone say, "Xuyuan."
Cheng Xuyuan was startled when he suddenly heard the shout.
He turned his head to look at the person who was calling him, and saw a figure walking out from the shade of the tree.
Who is this?
When the man came closer, Cheng Xuyuan realized that the person who called him was actually Guo Yuangui.
In the dim light, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly felt that Guo Yuangui looked a little panicked.
"Old Guo, what happened?" Cheng Xuyuan knew that if nothing happened, Guo Yuangui would never appear in the Overseas Chinese Apartment at this time.
When Guo Yuangui saw that it was Cheng Xuyuan, a hint of relief appeared on his face.
But then, he said anxiously: "Xuyuan, you are finally back. I was afraid that you would not come back today!"
"I'm telling you, this is a big trouble, you must help Xu Simou!"
