“I bought this place.”
"You want to go back to Fengcheng?"
Chen Yi turned around and looked at her, "Do you want me to come back?"
Pei Wenping turned her head and looked at the house. "How much did this house cost?"
Seeing that she was avoiding him, Chen Yi stopped pressing her and said, "Fifty thousand."
Pei Wenping smacked her lips and said, "When Xiaoyang and his family bought the house across the street, it was only a little over 10,000 yuan, and it has risen to 50,000 yuan in just a few years."
Chen Yi smiled: "Today is different from the past. Buying a commercial house of 100 square meters costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. It's better to buy here. Although the house is a bit old, it is still quieter and more comfortable than living in a building after cleaning it up."
Pei Wenping agreed with this, but walked into the yard without saying a word.
The layout of the house is similar to Shen Mingzhu's house, but the decoration style is very old-fashioned. It is all old red-painted furniture. The white walls are mottled and yellowed due to age, and the terrazzo tiles on the ground are also badly weathered, exuding a sense of decay and age everywhere.
"I will decorate this house according to your preferences. Wenping, I think we can start over here, a new wedding house, a new marriage, and say goodbye to the past completely."
Although the house was old, the lights were bright enough for Pei Wenping to see the love and sincerity on the man's face.
There was a voice in my heart that seemed to be saying: Okay, stop being stubborn, you still love him.
But her pride and self-esteem make it difficult for her to let go. The betrayal and hurt she has suffered cannot be erased by just starting over.
"There is still a lot of time, you can take your time to think about it."
Chen Yi smiled and broke the silence, "I will always wait for you. There will never be another mistress here."
…
New Year's Day.
After burning the anniversary coins for Qin Jinlian in the morning, on the way back to town, Jia Yuemei suddenly asked about Shen Mingzhu's platinum bag.
"I heard that those bags of yours are worth a lot of money. Let me see them sometime. I have never seen anything that expensive in my life."
Shen Mingzhu glared at the other person: "Who told you that? You believe everything they say. I told you that dog shit smells good, are you going to eat it too?"
After being criticized by Shen Mingzhu, Jia Yuemei felt quite unconvinced.
"If you don't want to show it to me, then don't show it to me. Why are you venting your anger on me? I didn't spread this."
Shen Mingzhu was a little angry. During this period, many relatives and friends had been asking about the platinum bag, and had expressed their desire to see it in some way or another.
She still doesn't know who spread the news.
…
After the fifteenth day of the lunar year.
The Yan family and Zhai Huankui met formally and arranged the marriage between Yan Su and Han Zibin.
The Yan family had only one request, which was for Han Zibin to marry into the family.
Neither Han Zibin himself nor Zhai Huankui had any objection to this.
Zhai Huankui has many illegitimate children, and his son Han Zibin is completely dispensable to him, so he has left them alone over the years.
He never dared to imagine in his dreams that this illegitimate child would have such good fortune to help him climb up the ladder of the Yan family, the most powerful family in Fengcheng.
Not to mention marrying into the Yan family's family, he would be happy to give Han Zibin to the Yan family as their son.
However, the Yan family was still very cautious about this marriage. They planned to get engaged first, and then consider holding the wedding after Yan Su gave birth to a child.
To put it bluntly, they were attracted by Han Zibin's youth and wanted to use his father to have a son.
…
After receiving a call from Yan Su asking her out for dinner, Shen Mingzhu happily went to the appointment. However, as soon as they met, she was speechless when Yan Su asked her: "Why did my sister give you a platinum bag?"
"Well, Susu, please listen to my explanation."
"I'm listening."
"Only a little?"
Shen Mingzhu pecked at the rice like a chick: "It's really only a few hundred million."
Yan Su suddenly stood up.
Shen Mingzhu tactically retreated, "Susu, let's talk it over."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hugged by the other party.
"Mingzhu, thank you."
Shen Mingzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but refused to admit it: "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything."
"I knew it a long time ago."
Shen Mingzhu couldn't figure out whether the other party was telling the truth or lying to her, so she just kept silent.
You won’t be wrong if you don’t say anything.

"That night, Abin confessed to me when he was drunk and told me not to go on a blind date with other people. He thought it was me that was on the blind date that day, and I thought it was him. You played both of us around."
Shen Mingzhu was actually very clear that her plan was not clever at all. It was just a matter of information asymmetry and could be exposed at any time.
"Hey, Susu, you're not angry, are you?"
Yan Su looked at her, "Do you think I should be angry with you?"
Shen Mingzhu said embarrassedly, "It's my fault, but it's better not to get angry. Anger can cause wrinkles. However, if you really want to be angry with me, you can, but don't give up this relationship just because I was involved in this matter. You're just punishing yourself with my mistake."
Yan Su was a little curious: "Are you so optimistic about me and Abin? Don't you think the age gap between us is too big?"
"I don't think so. The younger brother is very attractive. Susu, other people's opinions are meaningless. Your own feelings are the most important."
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu sincerely supported and blessed her, Yan Su's face couldn't help but reveal a bit of the happiness and sweetness of a little woman.
"Abin and I will be getting engaged on the 20th of next month. You are welcome to attend."
"Okay, okay, congratulations."
…
King's arrival.
"If you ask me, Miss Yan is quite courageous. She actually found a man who is ten years younger than her."
While Pei Wenping was accompanying Shen Mingzhu to try on the dress she was going to wear for the engagement party, she was also expressing her feelings about the relationship between Yan Su and Han Zibin.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the other person through the mirror and said with a double meaning: "Sister, love is like this, it requires a little adventure and courage. In fact, you don't have to think too much. When you love, hold on tightly, and let go when you lose. It's that simple."
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly.
Pei Wenping had been struggling over whether or not to accept Chen Yi again for some time. Shen Mingzhu had seen it all, so she took the opportunity of the incident between Yan Su and Han Zibin to try to comfort her.
Seeing through her feelings, Pei Wenping no longer concealed her feelings: "I can't let him go, but I have been blaming him, hating him and blaming him all these years. I don't know how to love him anymore."
It can be seen that Pei Wenping also wants to break through and change, so Shen Mingzhu suggests that she see a psychologist.
After a period of psychological treatment and counseling.
Pei Wenping's mental state improved visibly, and she decided to have a good talk with Chen Yi when he came back to Fengcheng next time.
Since New Year's Eve, after revealing his thoughts and ideas to Pei Wenping, Chen Yi began to decorate the new house.
From design to material selection to construction, he followed up everything personally without relying on anyone else, and returned to Fengcheng once every half a month.
The day Chen Yi returned to Fengcheng.
Pei Wenping dressed up carefully, took a bouquet of flowers, and went to the airport to pick up her loved ones.
The plane was supposed to land at 9pm, but Pei Wenping waited until 10pm, but she didn't see Chen Yi. (End of this chapter)
