Although Lin's father and Lin's mother's small business is running well, the flow of funds in the ledger can also stay in a state of not losing money: not to mention the great wealth of dreams, even the previously estimated small wealth and peace cannot be achieved - plus the dividends of the two cousins, the average income of the four can only stumble to keep up with the poverty line of 11,000 pounds. This amount, although it may be more than the two cousins earned in China, is unlikely to catch up with the pre-retirement income of Lin's mother and Lin's father, and this is when Lin Yilong paid them the two thousand pounds monthly rent for the attic in Paddington.

The price of the Riverside Street apartment rose rapidly, and Lin Yilong sold the apartment on Riverbank Street for £7 million.

Theoretically, this is unlikely, and the price of house prices in London is so gratifying that it will never be possible in two years, no matter how wild the house prices are. The reason for the sale was that the office building next to the Riverside Street Apartments, which was purchased as the new headquarters by British American Tobacco, is the closest to the company and within the enrollments of many high-quality public schools. Although Lin Yilong never thought of selling the apartment on Riverside Street, he did so at the end of June at a price that was difficult to refuse, when he was very eagerly matched by a real estate middleman. After these new tenants have seen the house and paid for the purchase, both parties happily sign the title deed and complete the settlement.

The date for moving out of Riverside Street was set for the end of September.

In London, Lin Yilong still needs a place that can be used for transit and rest. It's not just about making things easier for Lam's mother, it's also about allowing him to meet some of his sensitive guests in privacy – a large part of the reason for selling his apartment on Riverside Street is that the apartment isn't private enough – and in London, seniors like Lam's mom and Lam need better medical care. If it's just a one-night transfer, Amy Lin Yilong can also go to stay.

In the Greater London area, in addition to the more humanistic Riverside Street, the only place Lin Yilong considers living is Surrey County in the Greater London City Circle. Coincidentally, a six-bedroom house with a detached courtyard was sold at the same time. The house itself is nothing special, but the other 34 neighbors on the street where the house is located and the residents of the two adjacent streets have formed a gated community that shares a two-mile private road at their own expense. The house that Lin Yilong bought is located on the outskirts of this huge community, behind the garden, on a golf course that is inaccessible at night.

In the three hours before the end of the cricket match and the party, Lin Yilong gave Katie the address of his new house and asked her to drive to see his new home first.

"This is it." Lin Yilong pointed to a house standing halfway up the mountain.

Katie looked in the direction Lin pointed and saw Lin's new home in the London metropolitan area: the hollowed-out foot of the hill had been turned into a garage and courtyard, and a cement staircase led from the courtyard along the hill to the main entrance platform – from where the whole of New Merdan could be seen.

As soon as they entered, the two could sense that the previous tenant had left in a hurry. Wallpaper and garbage were scattered all over the place.

"This place needs to be renovated again. Katie followed Lin Yilong into the new house, looking at the ruins that could barely be called a house, "No wonder it sells so cheaply." ”

"I don't care about that, it gives me the ability to use my imagination and rearrange it. Lin Yilong responded, "For example, set up a secret room under the fireplace for underground transactions or something, even if you come here to search, you won't find anything." ”

"It's not a detective novel!" Katie interrupted Lin Yilong's delusions, "It's not an urban legend in the Soho area. ”

"I'm referring to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Lin Yilong explained, "Isn't there often such a plot in it?"

For Lin Yilong's bad taste, Katie can only give a roll of his eyes.

Arriving at the room that served as the bedroom bathroom, I opened the window and the sunlight shone right on Katie's body, creating a beautiful painting.

The scene of ruins, sunshine and beauty intertwined gave Lin Yilong a sense of art - Lin Yilong was in a trance, and suddenly understood what he had destroyed before and what he had gained now.

Walked up to Katie and kissed the girl on the lips.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lin Yilong's abrupt move, Katie asked puzzled.

"Don't ask, kiss me!" Lin Yilong put his arm around Katie, his hand gradually unswayed......

"Looks like our clothes are finished. Twenty minutes later, Katie watched as the dress she had prepared for the cricket match was turned into a mess by Lin Yilong's intimacy. As for Lin Yilong's clothes, from the collar of his shirt to the white socks, they were stained with fluffy dust, which was even more unsuitable for a dinner party at night.

"That's fine. The old does not go, the new does not come. Lin Yilong exclaimed and stood up from the bathtub. Dusted off his body and pressed his face affectionately with Katie.

This set, which was bought for £78 at the Bar's first dinner eight years ago, is finally coming to an end.

The pair then drove back to the heart of London and went to the ready-to-wear shops on Riverbank Street: Lin Yilong went to Moss, while Katie went to Topshop — and as for the tailoring of private formal wear in Savile Lane and Regent Street, the two didn't have the time to wait for home delivery.

The salesman quickly measured Lin Yilong's figure and recommended him a dress made by his own company. Lin Yilong also chose an additional anti-pleated white shirt, complete with trims such as a belly belt, black bow tie and collar badge. Although it is not chic or personable, at least it is very serious.

At six o'clock in the evening in mid-July, the sky was still bright.

Lin Yilong knew that Katie needed some time to redress up, and he could not let Katie pick her up and instead have a round with Katie at the store. So he walked along Riverside Street in a formal dress to greet him, and at the door of the store, he saw Katie, who had finished dressing up and was about to go out.

Katie chose a purple backless evening dress, and her exposed white arms were adorned with gold bracelets and armbands, and the black high heels she had prepared were abandoned for various reasons, and a pair of the same gold pair - even if Katie didn't change it, because of the long skirt of the evening dress, no one would care too much about the color of the shoes inside.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Yilong complimented, Katie is also charming now, but it is not as good as it was two hours ago.

"Let's go!" Katie said, then took Lin Yilong's arm and headed to the Savoy Hotel.

From the shop gate to the north gate of the Savoy Hotel, there is only a distance of less than 200 meters, even if it is a walk, the two of them can enter the hotel in three minutes, it is on such a short road, but Lin Yilong encountered the two people he least wanted to see for the time being-Lin's father and Lin mother, who came out for a walk.
