Chapter 483 Buying a House

After Ye Chen and Zhou Zidong chatted for ten minutes, they almost knew that the main cause of Zhou Zidong's grandfather's illness was probably the advanced liver cancer, which led to the death of Zhou Zidong's parents and paralysis of his grandmother. He was the only one who supported the family company. Now the family business went bankrupt and his grandfather's health was getting worse.

So, over the years, he has been trying to revive the family company, but according to his observation, Zhou Group is no longer doing well.

As for the situation of his cousin, he dared not say it, fearing that it would affect his cousin's future.

When he heard this, Ye Chen really admired Zhou Zidong.

"Zhou Zidong, thank you for telling me so much!" Ye Chen said.

"This is what I should do." Zhou Zidong smiled.

"What about you?"

"Me? I'm working for the time being." Zhou Zidong said.

When Ye Chen looked at him strangely, Zhou Zidong hurriedly explained: "I used to work in a company, but after the company was acquired, the chairman didn't want me to stay and work, so I found a part-time job to make money."

"I see." Ye Chen said.

He felt that at Zhou Zidong's age, if his grandfather hadn't been in trouble, perhaps his current grades would have reached the first-tier line, and even with Zhou Zidong's skills in computer games, he could go to a small company and serve as a department director, or directly start his own game company.

However, Zhou Zidong didn't do that, but chose to concentrate on treating his grandfather in this remote rural area, also to reduce his grandfather's burden.

Ye Chen knew that talents like Zhou Zidong would definitely have a great future.

"Ye Chen, are you free today?" Zhou Zidong asked suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Ye Chen asked.

"I'm going to invite you to my cousin's wedding banquet tonight, and I hope you can attend it." Zhou Zidong said.

In theory, Zhou Zidong and Ye Chen have a good relationship, but Ye Chen and the other party are just casual acquaintances. Moreover, he is now the top scorer in the college entrance examination and has started an internship at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Soon, he will have to take the final exam.

Therefore, in Ye Chen's opinion, there is no need for him to agree to Zhou Zidong's request. Instead, it seems a bit hypocritical and a waste of time.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't spare the time to participate." Ye Chen said.

Zhou Zidong didn't expect that Ye Chen refused.

After all, Zhou Zidong knew that Ye Chen was different from other rich kids. Ye Chen really liked Chinese medicine and learned Chinese medicine. Therefore, in Zhou Zidong's opinion, this time Ye Chen went there, he would definitely meet more friends.

"That's really a pity." Zhou Zidong said.

Ye Chen did not stay to chat with Zhou Zidong, but took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lin Xinting.

Lin Xinting is a graduate student in Shanghai. Now in the morning, she is sitting in the library reading. When Ye Chen sent her a text message, Lin Xinting jumped up immediately after seeing it excitedly.

Because Ye Chen rarely sent her text messages, even if he occasionally sent one, it was to ask her where she was and how she was doing.

The sentence Ye Chen sent her last night was, I am now in Qinglong City. This made Lin Xinting guess that Ye Chen had already arrived in Qinglong City.

Lin Xinting picked up the bag next to her and prepared to leave the library first. When she called Ye Chen again, she found that Ye Chen had sent her a text saying, "I just arrived at the school. Are you there now? I want to find you!"

Seeing the texts Ye Chen sent her, Lin Xinting was even more happy and hurriedly replied, "Come to the third floor of the library. I was just reading a book and I have to leave now."

Lin Xinting hurriedly left the library and took the elevator down to the third floor girls' dormitory. Go down from the third floor girls' dormitory to the first floor and go out to the main door.

When Ye Chen came here, he didn't see anyone else, only Lin Xinting was waiting for him there. When Ye Chen waved to her and indicated that he was here, Lin Xinting hurried over and said, "Ye Chen, it's really you!"

"Are you reading a book?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Yeah." Lin Xinting said.

In that case, the two did not stop to talk, but went to the parking lot. When Ye Chen got into his BMW and opened the passenger door, Lin Xinting got into the car. When the two got in the car, Ye Chen raised the window again.

On the way to the courtyard where Lin Xinting lived, Lin Xinting said, "Have you been in China for the past few years?"

"I studied abroad, but later I came back because of family matters." Ye Chen said.

Now Ye Chen slowed down the car and walked slowly on the road with Lin Xinting. Lin Xinting leaned on the chair to rest, and Ye Chen was also flipping through the information at hand.

Although he has decided not to work so hard, in the past six months, Ye Chen has spent 25 million from the deposit in the bank card.

Now Ye Chen thought about it. In addition to the gold brick down payment for buying a house, he has not spent the remaining gold brick down payment. He is going to put the house purchase aside in advance and rent a house from the agency tomorrow.

Ye Chen didn't know where Lin Xinting lived, so he could only ask: "Teacher Lin, where do you usually live?"

"In a single apartment in the city, not far from the Education Bureau." Lin Xinting said.

At the beginning, when Zhou's parents were alive, Lin Xinting's tuition and living expenses were basically provided by Lin's parents.

However, later, Lin Xinting's father died of illness. Under the care of Lin Xinting's mother, she earned all the money for college by herself.

Now Lin Xinting's mother has moved out of the apartment. Now she rents an ordinary house in the city center. The house is not very good, but the environment is good and the price is cheap, enough for her and her brother to live in.

Ye Chen knew her family situation. When he heard that she rented a house in the city center, Ye Chen was surprised. After all, with Lin Xinting's beauty and temperament, even if she is not a white-collar worker, she is very beautiful compared to others.

"Is your brother in school?" Ye Chen asked.

"My brother moved away after going to college, but he still sends money back to me and my mother every month." Lin Xinting said.

When Lin Xinting mentioned this, Ye Chen naturally knew.

The two came to the alley in the city center, passed through the houses, and easily entered the grove. Lin Xinting took Ye Chen to a three-story independent building in front.

At this time, it was almost lunch time. However, because it was a weekend, there were still many people around at this time, either shopping or playing.

Lin Xinting took Ye Chen to one of the rooms and knocked on the door. A woman's voice came from inside and asked, "Who is it?"

"Mom, it's me!" Lin Xinting responded.

Soon, the door was opened. After Lin Xinting helped her mother into the room, she saw her brother Lin Fei standing in the room reading a book.

"Sister, Ye Chen is here." When Lin Fei saw Lin Xinting bringing Ye Chen over, he hurriedly shouted.

"Hello, Auntie!" Ye Chen smiled.

"Ye Chen, come and sit down. I'll make you some tea." Lin Xinting's mother hurriedly greeted.

When Lin Xinting and Ye Chen sat down, Lin Fei continued to look through the books. Ye Chen was no longer surprised by Lin Fei's character.

After Ye Chen chatted with the woman, Lin Fei had finished reading a book. When he put the book down, Ye Chen asked, "Have you finished reading these?"

"I have finished reading it." Lin Fei replied.

Lin Xinting knew that her brother's grades were not very ideal and he was usually lazy, so his test scores were not as good as other children of the same age.

"Teacher Lin, your brother looks very smart!" Ye Chen said.

"He is usually very smart, but he is just lazy." Lin Xinting said.

Ye Chen smiled after hearing this. At this time, Ye Chen found that it was almost time for lunch, so Ye Chen said, "Teacher Lin, I will treat you to dinner!"

Before Lin Fei said anything, Lin Xinting shook her head and said, "My dad said that he made fish soup tonight and asked me to go back and eat with him. I may not be back to the dormitory until later."

"Then I will take you back first, and then we will go to eat." Ye Chen said.

Now Lin Xinting hasn't changed her clothes yet, so naturally she can't go out to eat with Ye Chen. She goes back to take a shower and change clothes.

Lin Fei stayed and looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Ye Chen, how did you get to know my sister?"

In Lin Fei's opinion, his sister usually doesn't take the initiative to make friends. What's more, people like Ye Chen.

"When you first came to the university to register, I happened to meet your sister, that time in the hot pot restaurant." Ye Chen said.

Lin Fei remembered that there was indeed such a thing, but he didn't expect that all this was fate.

While Ye Chen was sitting there with Lin Fei chatting, Lin Xinting changed into a skirt and came down from upstairs. Lin Fei looked at Ye Chen with an ambiguous expression on his face.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Lin Xinting looked at him and said.

"Sister, if you do this, I'm afraid I can't help it." Lin Fei said.

"You dare!" Lin Xinting stared at him and said.

Seeing Lin Xinting like that, Lin Fei knew that his sister really couldn't afford to offend. So, he could only shut up.

After Lin Xinting got in the car, she sat in the passenger seat, Lin Fei sat in the back, Lin Xinting looked at the scenery outside the window, and Ye Chen drove to the vegetable market near the Oriental Medical University City.

Ye Chen wanted to treat Lin Xinting to a meal, so he naturally would not choose a high-end restaurant, at least he did not have this habit now.

"Teacher Lin, I will ask you to go to the vegetable market to buy some fresh ingredients and bring them back, and I will cook fish soup for you." Ye Chen said.

After hearing this, Lin Xinting did not object. She felt that after staying with Ye Chen for a long time, she found that she liked Ye Chen more and more, and even doubted whether she was interested in Ye Chen.

Now Lin Xinting used her mobile phone in the car to find where the vegetable market was. When she finally told Ye Chen the address of the vegetable market, Ye Chen quickly found the vegetable market when he drove over.

Now all kinds of vegetables and meats are sold here, including chicken, duck, fish and shrimp. Ye Chen stopped the car, got out of the car, opened the door of the trunk, took a basket from the trunk, and prepared to put the fresh vegetables, meat, fish, shrimp, etc., and put them directly on the storage rack in the car after selecting them.

Now after Ye Chen finished selecting, Lin Xinting got out of the car from the other side. Although Ye Chen had come here several times when he was in Shanghai before, and even lived here for more than half a month for a period of time, but now he thinks that there is not much change here.

After he picked the fresh vegetables and meat, Ye Chen gave the car keys to Lin Xinting, and Lin Xinting locked the car according to what Ye Chen said.

Of course, in addition to this, Lin Xinting's mother had to be called out, otherwise, it would be awkward for Ye Chen to go back to the dormitory with her alone.

"Mom, I'll take you back to the dormitory to rest first." Ye Chen came to the dilapidated car of Lin Xinting's mother and said.

Lin Xinting's mother nodded, and when she and Ye Chen got in the car, Ye Chen drove away from here and went back to the girls' dormitory of the affiliated hospital.

After returning to the girls' dormitory, Ye Chen stopped the car. After he and Lin Xinting got off the car, Ye Chen brought a basket of fresh vegetables and fruits to Lin Xinting's mother's room.

Lin Xinting's mother was also surprised to see her daughter get off work in such a hurry. However, when she saw her daughter bring a male friend back, she was not surprised.

"Auntie, drink some fish soup first, then eat." Ye Chen looked at the middle-aged woman and said.

Lin Xinting's father, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and uncle all work in the hospital. And her younger brothers and sisters basically don't have to spend money to go to college. Even her younger brother is now relying on family funding to go to college. Usually, eating and dressing at school are paid by pocket money given by her father.

Lin Xinting and Ye Chen went into the kitchen, cleaned it up, and then Ye Chen took out an apron and tied it on, and started to cook fish soup for her mother.

Lin Xinting stood there watching Ye Chen cooking fish soup, and a sweet taste surged in her heart.

Two hours later, Ye Chen had already cooked a pot of fish soup. Now Ye Chen helped to bring out two bowls of steaming, fragrant fish soup and handed them to Lin Xinting's mother.

Lin Xinting's mother took it and smelled the fragrance, looking particularly satisfied. Because Ye Chen was a guest, Lin Xinting's mother naturally wouldn't drink so much.

Ye Chen briefly talked to her, not too much about his college life, and now he was studying in college, not working, so he didn't think it was necessary to tell others too much.

After Lin Xinting's mother finished the bowl of fish soup, Ye Chen cleaned the table and cleaned up the garbage. At this time, there was a knock on the door of Lin Xinting's dormitory.

"Sister Xinting, is your classmate here?" Lin Fei asked.

"It should be." Lin Xinting said.

When she hurried out of the house and saw two people standing at the door, she thought they were Ye Chen's classmates or roommates. Now when she looked over, she found that it was her husband Li Xiang and another gentle young man wearing glasses. When she saw them, Lin Xinting naturally recognized that it was her disappointing husband and the other boyfriend.

Now the two people stood there, looking a little uneasy. After all, this morning, they promised Lin Xinting that they would be here before 8:30 in the evening.

If they couldn't come on time, Lin Xinting would definitely ignore them.
