The clerk turned around and brought the POS machine, waiting for me to take out the card.
I didn't move and opened my mouth to speak. Wei Lan took the opportunity to hand over a card to the waiter: "I'll give this to Yan Yan as a late meeting gift."
Seeing this, Liang Sheng quickly took out a card from the inner pocket of his suit and said, "How can I make you spend money? I'll do it."
The two of them fought for me, but they left me alone.
I don’t seem to have said a word from beginning to end that I want to buy it. I’m sure I can’t afford Weilan.
"Just swipe mine." Wei Lan blocked the card handed over by Liang Sheng and tilted her head to tell the clerk. The clerk doesn't care who pays the bill, as long as someone pays, he takes the blue card and swipes it.
I immediately grabbed the card in Liang Sheng's hand and pressed the POS machine, "Swipe this, otherwise I won't take it."
He turned around with a smile and handed the blue card back to her: "I feel sorry for receiving such an expensive meeting gift from you not long after we met."
His blue eyes were almost round as he looked at the card payment slip printed on the POS machine and didn't say a word for a long time. I took the merchant's coupon handed over by the clerk and signed Liang Sheng's name on it.
I usually don't swipe Liang Sheng's card easily, simply because I was in a hurry and didn't bring a card with a large limit. It's better to owe Liang Sheng than to Wei Lan.
Wei Lan seemed to have been struggling for a long time before she laughed, "Yanyan is too outrageous. You are Liang Sheng's friend and naturally you are also my friend. Why should I feel sorry for giving you a gift?"
friend? Are you sure she's not your girlfriend
I smiled lightly, pursed my lips and said nothing.
Liang Sheng didn't know if he saw the smoke between me and Wei Lan. He took the card handed over by the clerk and handed it to me directly: "If you need to buy anything in the next two days, just use this card to swipe it."
Originally, I wasn't going to accept the call, but the clerk said, "This gentleman is so kind to his girlfriend. It's really enviable."
It's indeed quite enviable. I took Liang Sheng's card calmly and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, dear."
Although I accepted the card, it was just for show. When I got home, I put this card together with the supplementary card. The 90,000 yuan for this furniture is really not something I can afford to pay back if I buy a house. In this case, I have no intention of paying it back to Liang Sheng. When the time comes to buy the house, I will directly add his name on the property certificate. That's all. This set of furniture will be moved there together when the time comes, so it won't be considered a debt to him.
After that day, Wei Lan didn't come to see Liang Sheng for almost a week, and she suddenly felt that the world was much quieter.
This week I went to work during the day and tidied the house at night. The empty two bedrooms and one living room became much warmer under my decoration. I still habitually go to the flower and bird market to buy some green plants and flowers for decoration, and I still habitually place a lavender plant on the dressing table or entrance cabinet. Now there is a flower shop downstairs where I live, so I don’t find it troublesome to change flowers regularly. Smelling the faint fragrance of lavender in the air, I always feel inexplicably at ease.
On weekends, I still asked Xuanxuan to go to the real estate to look at houses.
The new properties are basically in the suburbs. The advantage is that the environment is good, and they usually face the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring. The disadvantages are that the transportation is inconvenient, it is a bit far from the city center, and the housing prices are not cheap. In the urban area, there are mostly second-hand houses, and the advantage is that the location is good. , they are available in any business district, but they have many disadvantages, such as expensive, old, troublesome procedures, etc.
Before I came here, I was debating whether to buy a new house or a second-hand house in the city. Xuanxuan saw that I was frowning and gave me advice: "If I were you, I would not hesitate to buy a new house in the suburbs. Liang Sheng There are already two houses in the city, and the one you rent makes it three. Why do you want to buy one in the city? It would be great if it faces the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring. I think this property is good, Guixiang Garden, listen It’s comfortable to stay in, and there’s a villa area behind it, where many prominent people in Haicheng live.”
The sales lady also persuaded me: "If there is a house in the city, Guixiang Garden is indeed a good choice. Compared with several other properties, it is relatively close to the city. It is adjacent to Taohua Island Bay and in front of Taohua Island Park. Behind is the old villa area, which is much better than other properties not only in terms of environment but location, and the unit price is only a thousand yuan more expensive."
"Yes, Yanyan, let's buy Guixiangyuan. Buy the 01 apartment, which is on the east side and has the best view." Xuanxuan danced in front of the sales lady, which made me roll my eyes at her: "You are the salesperson Is this the ministry’s request?”
Xuanxuan smiled and blinked: "You can understand it that way."
"Okay, let's take a look at Unit 01." I said to the sales lady.
The sales lady smiled and nodded, "I'm taking two of you to take a look at several apartment types. Please come over here."
In terms of unit types, Type 01 is indeed the best, and there are only three units of Type 01 left in the entire building, which are on the fourth, fourteenth, and twenty-fourth floors. Chinese people are sensitive to numbers and think four is unlucky, so floors with four are less popular than other floors. If you decide you want Guixiangyuan, you can only choose one of these three sets.
As he walked out, he said to the sales lady: "Let me think about it. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
The sales lady said awkwardly: "Guixiangyuan is more popular. I can't guarantee that these three houses will still be there when you give me your reply tomorrow."
"It doesn't matter. Buying a house also depends on fate. Believe me, I will call you at noon tomorrow." I know that this is the general rhetoric of salesmen, so I don't worry too much. Seeing that I had made up my mind, the sales lady had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll wait for Miss Shen's call tomorrow."
"OK, thanks."
"Let me take you out. It's not easy to take a taxi here." The sales lady drove the car over and rolled down the window and said to us.
I glanced at Xuanxuan and wanted to ask her what she meant, but Xuanxuan waved her hand: "No, we can just walk out, thank you."
The sales lady didn't even stay, she kicked the accelerator and left.
Xuanxuan picked a peach blossom out of nowhere and held it in her hand, excitedly taking selfies with her phone. I looked at the surrounding environment, and it was indeed quite quiet. There was a light floral fragrance in the air, a bit like the smell of my hometown in Jiangcheng. I looked back at the row of villas in the back. They were all single-family houses with oversized yards and back gardens. The land there was so expensive that even money couldn’t buy it. If I really bought a house here, Liang Sheng would probably I guess you like it. Liang Sheng’s parents will have a better impression of me. After all, for Haicheng people, living in Guixiang Garden is a very honorable thing, although many young people don't know that a row of commercial properties has been built next to it.
Xuanxuan held up her mobile phone and said to me: "Yanyan, what are you thinking about? Come on, let's go to Taohua Island Park to take pictures."
"Okay." I smiled, turned around and walked straight forward.
After a while, I heard the sound of a car driving out and subconsciously gave way to the side. The car drove past me, stopped not far away, and then backed away at a constant speed.
Xuanxuan and I stood aside, and the car stopped directly in front of us. Qiao Wan stretched out her hand from inside: "Yanyan, why are you here? You thought my eyes were dim."
"Aunt Wan." Xuanxuan and I said in unison.
"Get in the car. There's no car here. I'll take you wherever you want to go." Qiao Wan opened the back door for us enthusiastically. Xuanxuan and I were embarrassed by her kindness and had to give up going to Peach Blossom Island. Plan, got in the car back and forth.
"What are you doing here?" Qiao Wan was wearing sunglasses, the music was loud in the carriage, and the warm spring breeze blew in in large swaths, which was very pleasant.
Because I didn’t want Liang Sheng to know about my house purchase yet, I had no choice but to lie: “I heard that Peach Blossom Island here is quite beautiful, so I came here specifically to play.”
"Haha, I just guessed it. Isn't it fun? The peach blossoms are blooming now. They should be quite beautiful." Qiao Wan turned down the music a little so that she could hear her hearty laughter more clearly.
"Hmm." I changed the subject: "Is Aunt Wan here for fun too?"
Qiao Wan paused and laughed: "Yes, yes, I'm here to play too."
After another pause, she continued to add: "I have a friend who lives here. I would like to take this time to come over and see my old friend."
I heard the meaning of the words and asked curiously: "During this period? Are you leaving?"
Qiao Wan said: "Well, Xiao Liangrui has been feeling unwell during this time. I will go to the United States to see him."
"You don't feel well, what's wrong?" I asked. Although Xiao Liang Rui is Liang Mohua's son and has only met me a few times, I like him inexplicably, and when I hear something bad about him, I feel worried.
"I don't know. I always say my heart hurts. I can't find out the cause even when I go to the hospital."
