Chapter 81: Geraniums

[Old bungalow: heavy conditions. 】

Suddenly, two children playing with leather balls jumped past them, their unrestrained smiles shining brighter in the bright sun.

Ai Shangni smiled at them, then took a sip of his coffee. She turned her head sideways and saw Duan Yiqiao holding coffee with his hands on his knees, bending down slightly, looking into the distance, his face was calm, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking.

She suddenly felt a pang of distress, and really wanted to reach out and give him a handful of strength to straighten his back.

"Are those three conditions overwhelming you?" She asked him suddenly.

"Three?" Duan Yiqiao suddenly felt strange, but he quickly reacted, and said softly, "It is said that there are three conditions, but in fact it is one."

"One?" But when Tang Hao told her, it was three.

Duan Yiqiao nodded and sighed, "Even if the patents of the three paints are not authorized to the Ye family, they will be licensed to others. Compared with the old bungalow, it is not a condition, it can only be regarded as an add-on. In fact, there is only one condition, and that is the old bungalow, and I only have a little room for my family to think because of Nana."

Ai Shangni sighed, "The Ye family really loves Ye Enna's daughter, and they are willing to give up the old bungalow for her."

"Yes, Uncle Night loves Nana and has nothing to say. In fact, he knew that with my family's situation, I would definitely not be able to repay the loan in the end, and no matter how heartbroken my family was, I would have to use the old house to pay off the debt. He also calculated that between the old bungalow and me, I would definitely choose to marry Nana, and I would definitely convince my family. Either way, it's under his control."

"What if... Your family really can't pay back the money in the end, will you really marry Ye Enna?"

She didn't want to ask, not at all. Although she didn't think so far now, she still couldn't imagine that he would marry someone else in the future.

Countless stripes twisted out of her eyebrows, and she looked at him with frightened eyes, only worried that he would definitely answer her.

At this time, Duan Yiqiao's eyes were full of sadness, he didn't want to decide his future marriage against anyone's will, but at that time, did he really have a choice?

He didn't want her to worry about himself, so he put on a faint smile, raised his right hand, stretched out his thumb, pressed her eyebrows, and rubbed them to dissipate her sorrow.

As he slowly lowered his hand, he spat out three words with great difficulty, "Maybe!"

Her eyebrows, which had just been kneaded, suddenly tightened even tighter. There was anger, but he couldn't show it, so he turned back to the side slightly, continued to look ahead, and took a sip of coffee again.

She instantly felt that today's cup of coffee was so bitter, so bitter that she couldn't swallow it.

The two of them were silent.

They all know that this matter is not something that can be dealt with with with hard work and heart. If it were that simple, Duan Yiqiao and his family would not have had to live so hard in the past few years.

She knew that she had brought out a heavy topic, but she couldn't help but be curious, she had searched for reports about the old bungalow, and she had heard some of them from Fu Yuke, and she knew that it was valuable, but no matter how valuable it was, it was not worth the money that the Ye family lent to the Duan family.

"Why does the Night Family want your old bungalow so much?"

"A lot of people are just as confused as you are. No matter how valuable my old bungalow is, it is only worth one-tenth of the loan of the night family at most, but the night family just made this seemingly loss-making transaction. Actually, it's not。。。。。"

Yemo, who has worked hard in the mall for most of his life, does not believe in feng shui very much, but he takes a fancy to the feng shui of the Duan family's old bungalow. If it weren't for Duan Guangping being betrayed by his friends and going bankrupt, he would have had some doubts about the feng shui of the old bungalow, and he wouldn't have watched one after another come to the Duan family to propose to buy the old bungalow after the Duan family went bankrupt, but he didn't do much.

In addition to Duan Guangping's matter, the Feng Shui of the Duan family can be said to be a household name in Xidao District.

The old bungalow has a history of 100 years, and was built at the end of the 19th century by the ancestors of the Duan family, who were well-off, with the cooperation of local craftsmen and foreign architects.

It not only has the charm of traditional Chinese style, but also loses the romance of Western fashion!

After experiencing great social changes and war-torn times, the old bungalows are still standing. The ancestors of the Duan family had people who led troops to fight

In the turbulent years, the old bungalows were preserved by force.

Therefore, the Duan family has lived in the old bungalow for generations.

The ancestors of the Duan family were either officials or leading soldiers, until the liberation of the country and great changes in society, Duan Yiqiao's grandfather was a small clerk in the government, honest and duty, and became a public official for a lifetime.

And Duan Guangping did not follow the old path of his ancestors, and with his knowledge and a little luck, he founded a company to do business. Let the Duan family once again enter everyone's field of vision and restore the past scenery.

But he accidentally went bankrupt, his life was in jeopardy, and the old bungalow couldn't be saved.

In any case, so far, the old bungalows have only increased in value. Therefore, even after Duan Guangping went bankrupt, there were still so many people rushing to buy it.

There's no denying that Yemo knows it as valuable as everyone else. But he is more pleased with its feng shui, and the potential wealth associated with it.

"Potential wealth around you?"

Hearing this, Ai Shangni couldn't help but ask.

Duan Yiqiao continued, "Yes, the urban area where my house is located belongs to the old city, unlike Nana's family in the new city. Although it is an old town, it is still very busy, and various industries are there, so the government has not planned to demolish it for a long time. But as the surrounding area develops, the demolition seems to be getting closer and closer. That's why the night family is willing to make that deal."

Ai Shangni suddenly realized, "It turns out that this transaction is ostensibly about loving her daughter, but in fact she still wants more benefits." net

"That's right, the surrounding area will be demolished, but it will not move my old bungalow, our old bungalow is still more or less within the protection of the government. If the Ye family really gets the old bungalow, even if the government has no demolition plan, with Uncle Ye's old plan and strong financial resources, they will not not encourage this demolition, and then the Ye family will invest heavily in the construction and renovation."

"Ah! It's a long-term, it's a deep calculation."

"yes!" Duan Yiqiao took a deep breath, understanding that everything was going on, and he was powerless to change it.

Ai Shangni understood his mood at the moment, knowing the other party's plan, but he couldn't do anything to change everything.

Her hands clenching the coffee cup tightened tighter and tighter, and suddenly, a crisp sound of paper shells sounded, the coffee cup was pinched flat, and the coffee spilled on the ground and splashed on her hands. She quickly stood up, still holding the coffee cup in her hand.

"Are you alright, have you been burned?"

Duan Yiqiao also stood up and took the coffee cup in her hand in advance, but she didn't let him touch it. This reflected that the coffee was hot, but after sitting for a while, it was so cold that it was already cold.

"No, you help me get a tissue from my bag."

With the paper towel in hand, she walked to the trash can, threw away the coffee cup, wiped her hands clean, and then threw the paper towel into the trash can as well, and then returned to Duan Yiqiao.

"Got you thinking about everything?" He actually guessed what she was thinking.

"No, it's just a sudden irritability. Hehe~" She raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly, "By the way, will you be free at noon tomorrow?"

He thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm going to pick you up from class, okay?"

"Huh?" She was slightly surprised, "Do you know that I want you to pick me up from class?"

"Nope." He smiled secretly, "I just thought about it when I had time."

"Really?" She snickered and asked, "The little witch said that there is an egg fried rice on Beishan Street, but it's delicious, let's go at noon tomorrow, okay?"

He couldn't help but laugh at her, "You're almost a snack."

"Snacks are snacks, as long as they satisfy my stomach." He laughed as he spoke.

Seeing her laughing happily, he also laughed, and the heavy mood just now disappeared all of a sudden, and he suddenly relaxed.

Ai Shangni's smile was like a kind of magic in Duan Yiqiao's heart, which could always dispel the gray fog in his heart.

On Friday, January 19th, it was a good day for Jinglidu University to celebrate, and the whole school was closed.

There were only a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the wind was light, and they walked very slowly. The sun rose fast, at about half past nine, in mid-sky, and the gentle and charming sunlight shone brightly

The university shines brightly.

The whole school is quite festive, and the congratulatory banners sent from all parties are spread all over the high places of each teaching building, which can be said to be everywhere.

Although most of the students did not need to work for the school celebration, everyone was also immersed in a joyful joy.

In the 312 dormitory of Mangzhong Building, only Chen Sijie is not there. In the morning celebration meeting, she got on-site help. She didn't get up early, read the meeting book, had breakfast, and went to the conference room in the annex building of the auditorium to make preparations before the meeting before eight o'clock.

The first part of the annual celebration meeting was attended by members of the Board of Trustees of Jinglidu University, faculty and staff of the university, representatives of the Ministry of Education, and several alumni representatives. The main purpose of the conference was to conduct a discussion on Jinglidu University to "review the past, base itself on the present, and look forward to the future", as well as dozens of honorary awards for faculty and staff over the past year.

The second part of the celebration was a luncheon, which was held for not only the attendees, but also other alumni and celebrities from all walks of life invited to the celebration. The dining venues vary from year to year, and they are all carefully chosen. This year, it is set at the nearby Litin Hotel, which has just opened.

The Xu family and the Shangguan family were originally intended to marry, and the cooperation of this school celebration luncheon just promoted the relationship between the two families.

As the founder of Jinglidu University, Xu Yi handed over the power of the school to his daughter-in-law Chen Yuning, but he was still in the position of the master during the whole school celebration.

His sons Xu Ran and Chen Yuning, school directors and faculty representatives, as well as his daughter and son-in-law stayed with him. His wife, who was not in good health, was taken care of by his eldest daughter.

Xu Yi's black hair has already appeared a little gray hair, but his spirit is extremely bright, and he has always greeted everyone with a smile, politeness and courtesy. His kind eyebrows and kind eyes made everyone very willing to come forward to greet him and chat a few words, kind and energetic, and some actively took pictures with him.

The whole luncheon was full of friends, laughter and laughter; The staggered is accompanied by light songs, and the atmosphere is harmonious; The lights were brilliant and shone on this school celebration.

The lunch ends at around two o'clock, and you can arrange it separately, or you can arrange it to visit or play nearby.

The third part of the school celebration is the evening party, which only starts at half past six, and the middle time is quite long. But for those preparing for the evening, time is tight.
