Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 391 [380] Connecting Up to Become One House (Fourth Update)
The next morning, Xu Jinhuan told her parents about Chen Xingzhu buying a house. Her parents were a little surprised: "Why did she buy a house there?"

Xu Jinhuan actually had some guesses, but given the current situation with Chen Xingzhu and Xie Wanqing, it was not appropriate to say them. He said, "I don't know either. I guess it's because she heard her dad say that house prices would rise, so she bought one on the spot. Her dad is in the real estate business."

"It's already this expensive, how much higher can it go?"

Song Xiaohui still couldn't understand, "If prices keep rising, will anyone still be able to afford it?"

"The higher the price, the more people will buy."

After discussing it with her parents, Xu Jinhuan messaged Xie Wanqing, explaining the situation and asking, "Sister, would you like to come and take a look?"

It wasn't until breakfast that Xie Wanqing replied, "I'm going to the Science and Technology Park, so I won't go. You guys go ahead."

Xu Jinhuan: "Hmm, haven't there been any bad reviews lately?"

Xie Wanqing: "No, it's fine."

Xie Wanqing: "I just got up and went to brush my teeth."

Xu Jinhuan: "Okay."

He put down his phone, sensing that Xie Wanqing was acting strangely. She rarely refused people, but today she not only rejected his invitation to come and offer her opinions on the house renovation, but also took the initiative to end the chat.

Still angry?

He pondered to himself, and thought that this made sense, but if Xie Wanqing was this angry, she shouldn't have acted that way last night.

'And she got up so late, did she not sleep well last night?'

Xu Jinhuan continued to ponder, 'Could something have happened after I left last night?'

However, given the current situation, Xie Wanqing's absence might not be a bad thing. Xu Jinhuan then sent another message to Chen Xingzhu:
"Is the baby awake yet?"

"Around nine o'clock, I'll pick you up from your place, and then we'll go to Xiangyun Yayuan together."

Chen Xingzhu quickly replied, "Okay."

"Brother, you finally get to eat at home, can you please stop playing on your phone?"

Xu Jinhuan was still typing when Song Zhiyu complained from the table, "Look, I'm not playing. You should focus on eating first, and then you can play."

"Okay, I won't play."

Xu Jinhuan sent the message she had just typed, then put down her phone and said, "I'll go pick up Xingzhu first. Mom and Dad, are you going to take a car there?"

"It's just a few steps, what kind of vehicle do you need?"

Song Xiaohui laughed and said, "It's not even enough to cover the gas costs. Haven't you noticed that once your dad's initial enthusiasm wore off, he's been riding a bike all the time?"

Xu Haiguang said, "Then you should go pick them up. It's so hot, it's more convenient to drive."

"Ah."

After finishing their meal, Xu Jinhuan first called Dong Ruiyang to inquire about his work situation in Beijing.

Today is Sunday, and theoretically we should be resting, but that's only in theory. Mr. Xu is still waiting to produce something to negotiate a price with Tencent, so everyone is working overtime.

After hanging up the phone, Kong Wenbo sent another message, saying that one of the students who used to do part-time original artwork was graduating this year. He was very skilled and they had some connections, so he wanted to bring him to Beijing.

Xu Jinhuan then inquired about the situation and, seeing that the other party's painting was indeed quite good, agreed. Kong Wenbo had made most of the arrangements in Hangzhou and was preparing to go to Beijing next week, having finalized the date of his arrival.

After finishing all that, Xu Jinhuan checked the time and prepared to pick up Chen Xingzhu. Just as he stepped out, he saw that Song Zhiyu's door was ajar. She seemed to have heard the noise and called out from inside, "Brother, are you done?"

"Okay, go pick up Xingzhu."

As Xu Jinhuan was about to leave, Song Zhiyu called out, "Wait a minute, come here."

Xu Jinhuan entered her room and saw several dresses casually placed on the bed. She was wearing a light green short dress and was standing in front of the mirror looking at herself from the side. Her slender waist twisted, making her appear even more delicate and soft. It was so slender that it could be encircled with one hand, and it even had some curves.

"Brother, which dress do you think is the prettiest?"

Seeing him come in, Song Zhiyu asked sweetly, "Help me choose one."

"This is the best-looking one you're wearing."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jinhuan said, "You have a pure and sweet appearance, and this bright color suits you well, making you look fresh and elegant."

"But I like this one."

Song Zhiyu picked up another white dress and held it up against herself, asking, "Doesn't this look good?"

"This one is more pure and gentle, like a small white flower."

Xu Jinhuan pretended to think for a moment. This wasn't a scheme; it was self-preservation. If he didn't praise her properly, he wouldn't be able to get away. "It looks good too. I didn't realize you had such good taste..."

"That is."

Song Zhiyu chuckled, "Then which one should I choose?"

"They both look good; the main difference is in style."

Xu Jinhuan first laid the groundwork with a statement, then said, "However, I would recommend the light green one you're wearing."

Song Zhiyu blinked her big eyes and asked, "Why?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed, "First, there are too many people wearing white dresses; second, it's hot, light green looks cooler; third, you're already wearing one, so you don't have to take it off to change." "You just want to leave quickly, don't you?"

Song Zhiyu saw through his true intentions at a glance. "Alright, you can go now. It won't stop you from going to see your classmate Chen. Otherwise, you'll think I'm being naughty."

"It's okay, if you want to try on more clothes, then keep trying."

Xu Jinhuan adopted an attitude that she was not in a hurry at all, "Then you change, I'll wait for you outside."

Song Zhiyu asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"real."

Xu Jinhuan pretended to go outside to wait, and Song Zhiyu finally cheered up, laughing, "Okay, no need for today. I also really like this green dress. I won't try it on. You can go now."

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Are you really not going to try?"

"I'm not trying anymore, you can go."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, "Stop pretending..."

"alright."

Xu Jinhuan then took the car keys, changed his shoes and went out. Having been used to driving the S500, he was really not used to switching to the Haval H6. Before leaving, he sent a message to Chen Xingzhu so that she wouldn't have to change clothes and put on lipstick.

When he arrived at her building, he sent another message. After waiting for two minutes, Chen Xingzhu came out wearing beige cropped pants and a pink short-sleeved T-shirt. She didn't seem surprised to see his Haval and got into the passenger seat.

"I thought you would instinctively go for your sister's Audi."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and tentatively asked, "I didn't expect you to still recognize this car. Haven't ridden in it in a long time, have you?"

"I remember that too."

Chen Xingzhu answered casually, fastened her seatbelt, and asked in a normal tone, "Is my sister going?"

"She said she was going to the science and technology park, so she didn't go."

Chen Xingzhu nodded without saying anything.

Xu Jinhuan drove her to Xiangyun Yayuan. When they were almost there, he asked her to send messages to Song Zhiyu and her mother. When they arrived at Xiangyun Yayuan, Song Zhiyu sent a message saying that they had already gone upstairs.

Where is your parking space?

Chen Xingzhu also provided a parking space, and after parking, Xu Jinhuan specifically inquired about it.

Chen Xingzhu remained silent and took out her phone.

Last time she came, she didn't even bother to look at the house, let alone the parking spaces. Luckily, she had a record on her phone. She looked at it and then found that the two parking spaces were very close to Xu Jinhuan's, right across from her.

"This will make parking much more convenient in the future."

Xu Jinhuan glanced around and was fairly satisfied with the location of the parking space. "It's not far from the elevator, and it's convenient for moving things... Let's go."

Chen Xingzhu remained silent, expressionless, and went up the elevator with him.

Xu Jinhuan tried to reach out, but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw that she immediately became alert and stared at him warily. So he pursed his lips, raised his hand and scratched his hair, and said, "What's with that expression? I'm not a hooligan."

Chen Xingzhu kept a straight face and didn't say anything, but her eyes clearly said, "You are it."

Xu Jinhuan felt quite strange. She hadn't expected that after a year, she would come full circle and return to the state where she could speak with her eyes. She smiled and said, "I'm going to a gathering at noon. You're really not coming?"

Chen Xingzhu shook her head and remained silent.

"Fine, then I won't say anything."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, "So you won't find me annoying or bothersome... Huh?"

He suddenly remembered a song, looked up the tune, and started humming: "Back to the very beginning, your youthful face in my memory..."

What song is this again?

Oh, "You Are the Apple of My Eye" has already been released...

You can't copy it.

Xu Jinhuan quickly made a judgment. He glanced at Chen Xingzhu and saw that she was still expressionless. So he sang a couple more lines and led her to room 705 when the elevator arrived.

"Xingzhu is here?"

The door was open, and Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui were talking to the interior designer. When they saw Chen Xingzhu coming over, they greeted her with smiles.

"Uncle, Auntie~"

As soon as Chen Xingzhu entered the door, her expression changed completely, just like a few days ago. She greeted everyone politely and even apologized, "I secretly bought a house next door to you without even discussing it with you. You're not angry with me, are you?"

"What's there to be angry about?"

Song Xiaohui and Xu Haiguang both chuckled, "It's better to be closer, that's a good thing... We've also looked at the apartment you bought, the layout is quite nice..."

Song Zhiyu pouted and said, "It's just that it's closer, otherwise we could knock it down and turn it into a house..."
