A foreign city, dear you

In the face of dangerous attacks, Ye Lian felt how powerless she was.

She felt that her only barrier now was Cao Xueqian's love for her.

If Cao Xueqian's love for her is strong enough, then all her worries will be unfounded;

If Cao Xueqian's love for her was even the slightest, their marriage would collapse!

Oh, I can’t imagine it! I don’t even want to imagine it!

Everything can only depend on God's will.

……

The water is still flowing...

Ye Lian forgot the time and what she was doing...

Until Cao Xueqian's voice sounded outside the door: "Lian, why did you take so long to wash?"

********************

Winter slowly entered along the city, and it was December.

The winter along the city this year is not only cold, but also a bit bleak. It seems that everything is like the yellow leaves on the trees, in danger of falling off branches.

It was a Saturday and Ye Lian's family had just had lunch.

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"There is no plan." Ye Lian shook his head.

"Shall we go to the central area for a stroll?" Cao Xueqian suggested.

"What's there to see there?" Ye Lian asked.

"Cheng Yufei asked us to go over and play, along with Chen Pingfeng." Cao Xueqian said.

"Then you go alone," Ye Lian said, "They are all your friends."

Having said that, Ye Lian actually wanted to go but didn't want to.

I want to go because I want to stay with Cao Xueqian.

Usually when he goes to work, Cao Xueqian goes out early and comes back late. It was finally a weekend, and Ye Lian didn't want to be separated from Cao Xueqian.

She doesn't want to go because she's not good at dealing with outsiders.

Although she was relatively familiar with Cheng Yufei and Han Yumo, she felt that she was too inarticulate. Every time she played with them, she was like a dull papaya, unable to get along with them. She felt that she was boring and easy to sweep away. Everyone's happy.

"Let's go together," Cao Xueqian said, "What's the point of me being alone? You're already familiar with these friends. Besides, Han Yumo is here too. Didn't you say you don't have to pick up Lanshan from school now, and do you want to find something to do?" What suggestions does Han Yumo have? She has experience in this area."

Ye Lian thought for a while and agreed.

Cao Xueqian was very happy. There were two reasons for his happiness.

On the one hand, he likes to take Ye Lian with him wherever he goes. It doesn't matter if Ye Lian doesn't like to talk, as long as she is by his side, he will be in a good mood.

On the other hand, Cao Xueqian felt that Ye Lian seemed to have something on her mind recently, and it was just a good time for her to relax.

Half an hour later, Cao Xueqian took Ye Lian and Lan Shan and drove to a park that Cheng Yufei had agreed to.

There are three families in total.

Cao Xueqian's family, Cheng Yufei's family, and Chen Pingfeng's family, but Chen Pingfeng and his wife had just gotten married and had no children yet.

Cao Xueqian, Cheng Yufei and Chen Pingfeng all worked together at Lijin and are now the bosses of Tongxin Factory.

Currently, Cao Xueqian and Chen Pingfeng are still at Lijin, while Cheng Yufei has long since left Lijin to manage Tongxin Factory.

The three families strolled in the park.

The weather was very cold, and the cold wind blew straight up my neck. The two children were even shivering in the cold.

"How about we change places? It's too cold outside." Han Yumo said.

Everyone else shrank their necks in agreement.

Cheng Yufei raised his head and looked around.

"There is a new building in front of us that has already opened. The sales office is open. How about we go to that sales office and have a look?" Cheng Yufei suggested.

No one had any objections.

After all, it’s only a few steps away, so it’s okay to sit there to avoid the cold.

The sales hall is quite big, wide and warm. The aisles are covered with red carpets. There are drinks and cut fruits at the reception desk.

But there were only a few scattered people in the hall, and the few salesmen were very leisurely.

The two children entered the hall and started playing together.

A female salesperson wearing a suit saw several people coming in and quickly greeted them enthusiastically.

Several people looked at the sand table under the guidance of the salesperson, and then sat down at a round table to look through the real estate information and the various types of houses.

In fact, none of the three families plan to buy a house.

Cheng Yufei already owns two commercial houses, and Chen Pingfeng and the others also bought one at the beginning of the year.

Among the three, only Cao Xueqian does not have a commercial house. Ye Lian attributes this to her not working to earn money, which drags down the family's total income. Unknowingly, Cao Xueqian and the two of them were dropped down a level.

Fortunately, Cao Xueqian doesn't compare, and fortunately there is pure friendship between the three of them.

Ever since the house in Xi Yayuan was blocked by Tianqin Pavilion, Ye Lian had the idea of ​​​​changing her house from time to time. However, the housing prices have been rising in the past three years, and buying a house can only be a dream.

Ye Lian watched them flip through the information and look at the house types, feeling a little bored.

I can’t afford it anyway, so it’s a waste of time to see it.

It’s hard to live a debt-free life.

Although I have some savings on hand now, it is still a drop in the bucket, just the tip of the iceberg, before I can buy a house.

So I don’t want to put that thought into it.

The female salesperson waited quietly for a while, and then asked: "Are there any of the bosses you like?"

So except Ye Lian, several people asked the salesperson one by one.

"How can I sell this house now? How much does it cost per square meter?"

"The average price is eight thousand five thousand."

"Is it still so expensive? Isn't it said that the price has fallen sharply this year?"

"It has fallen a lot. The highest price of the buildings around here was 15,000 to 15,000 to 60,000, so now is the best opportunity to buy a house."

"Have you heard that a real estate project dropped by 5,000 yuan?"

"That's not possible, especially in a central district like ours."

“Can you get a discount on your house?”

"It depends on the apartment type, floor and orientation. If you sincerely buy it, I can get 8,000 per square meter."

"If we buy from all three, is there any discount?"

"That won't work, this is already the lowest price."

"If you lower it to 5,500, we will consider buying it."

"That's impossible."

"Then let's see."

"Okay, come to me anytime if you need anything."

……

The salesman walked away.

Chen Pingfeng had bargained too hard just now, and Ye Lian was very unhappy when she saw the salesperson's face.

"Wow," Chen Pingfeng sighed: "This wave of house prices has simply plummeted. You can cut it in half without any negotiation."

Han Yumo answered and comforted himself: "It's a ridiculous fall. However, we live by ourselves anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we fall or not."

You know, their second home was nearly 20,000 per square meter when they bought it!

Cheng Yufei answered gloomily: "There is no way. The economic situation this year is not good. Many factories and companies have closed down, which will definitely affect the housing market."

"A large number of people are bankrupt or unemployed. How can they still have money to buy a house? I heard that many of those who have already bought a house are unable to repay their loans and are forced to cut off their mortgage payments." Chen Pingfeng's wife said.

Chen Pingfeng asked: "What should we do if we continue to pay? Especially those who bought at a high price, not only their assets have shrunk by half, but they have to be called for loans by the bank, I must be heartbroken when I think about it. I am also panicking at the loss."
