Chapter 388 Meeting an old friend
Chapter 388 Meeting an old friend
Ji Qinglan was stunned. As expected, if Qiao Shaorong, who came from a wealthy family, had different ideas from her, it really meant that she was too narrow-minded.
Her original intention was just to buy a small apartment. She would not come here often, so having a place to stay would be enough. But Qiao Shaorong ended up buying a mansion.
But that's fine too.
"How much does it cost?"
"That's a newly built villa area with green mountains and clear waters, a quiet environment, and prices range from 1,000 to 3,000,000 yuan."
Ji Qinglan nodded, she could accept this price, and suggested going to the securities exchange tomorrow first, and then go look at the house.
Qiao Shaorong was stunned. His sister meant to sell the stocks she had.
"Sister, are we going to sell it now?"
"You're already looking for a wedding house, why don't you plan to sell it?" Ji Qinglan teased Qiao Shaorong with a smile.
Qiao Shaorong touched his head embarrassedly, while Zhou Hanxuan beside him was already blushing.
"Actually, I have almost collected enough money to buy a wedding house, and Hanxuan will also support me a little."
There is no need to sell the stocks. The market is so good now, how can he bear to sell them?
Ji Qinglan held the opposite opinion from Qiao Shaorong. She shook her head and said, "When the moon is full, it wanes; when the water is full, it overflows. We have earned enough. There is no need to take risks on this. Besides, I have other plans for the future."
Ji Qinglan glanced at him and continued, "Investment is risky. We all have to cross the river by trial and error. You can continue to hold the position."
Qiao Shaorong fell into deep thought. Seeing him like this, Zhou Hanxuan felt that her fiancé couldn't see the situation clearly. He had already made dozens of times the profit, so why should he be so worried?
She didn't have much concept of money, and allowed Qiao Shaorong to go into a dead end, and instead pulled Ji Qinglan aside to talk about fashion.
"There will be a fashion show at L's house in five days. Let's go together, sister."
"I don't know if I will still be here by then, so I won't go." Ji Qinglan refused with a smile.
"No! Sister, you are always in a hurry every time you come here. You must stay a few more days this time."
Zhou Hanxuan began to pull Ji Qinglan's arm and act coquettishly. For some reason, she treated Ji Qinglan more kindly than her own sister.
When sisters are together, they only talk about clothes, jewelry, young masters from wealthy families, and all kinds of comparisons, which is boring and tedious.
She felt relaxed and comfortable with Ji Qinglan.
Ji Qinglan smiled dotingly, and finally promised to go with her if he had nothing to do that day.
When the three of them came out of their meal, they unexpectedly met an acquaintance in the lobby.
Zhou Hanyi is Zhou Hanxuan's second sister.
There was a young man in a suit and tie next to Zhou Hanyi. Both Qiao Shaorong and Zhou Hanxuan knew him. He was the third son of Song Real Estate.
When the third son of the Song family saw Qiao Shaorong, he greeted him warmly and spoke while standing aside.
Qiao Shaorong couldn't just leave, so he started chatting with the Third Master Song, and his attitude wasn't very friendly.
Unable to leave for the moment, Zhou Hanxuan had to pull Ji Qinglan to sit on the leather sofa in the hall while talking to her second sister.
Zhou Hanyi said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you are having dinner here tonight?"
There was a hint of complaint in her tone. It was difficult to reserve a table here and there were no seats at all when they came at the last minute. She and the Third Young Master Song both dined in the hall.
As a result, my sister booked a seat without even telling her that she had paid in advance.
Zhou Hanxuan was a little annoyed by her sister's behavior, so she just said, "Sister Qinglan is coming to Hong Kong, Shaorong and I will welcome her."
Zhou Hanyi then turned his gaze to Ji Qinglan and said with a smile: "Miss Ji is here again? That's right, our Hong Kong City is different from the mainland. Many people who come here don't want to go back."
Zhou Hanxuan's eyes went darker and darker. She really didn't want to meet this confused second sister at all.
Sister Qinglan’s lover is the top leader in Guangzhou. Is there anything about Guangzhou that can make Sister Qinglan envious?
Ji Qinglan stood up and said to Zhou Hanxuan, "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys talk first."
"Okay." Zhou Hanxuan breathed a sigh of relief and waved to a waiter to lead Ji Qinglan away.
When Ji Qinglan left, Zhou Hanxuan's face immediately darkened and she sternly warned Zhou Hanyi: "Second sister, Sister Qinglan is the sister that Shaorong and I respect the most. I don't want to hear you say these things again."
"Tsk, why are you taking a mainland girl so seriously? She comes here several times and has a close relationship with Qiao Shaorong. You'd better be careful that your man's heart is snatched away by someone else."
Zhou Hanxuan was speechless towards her sister. She had seen Brother-in-law Ji in the newspaper. He was a handsome and heroic man. How blind was Sister Qinglan to fall for Qiao Shaorong?
No! That's not what she meant.
Zhou Hanxuan felt that there was something wrong with her thinking and it was all her second sister's fault. Intelligence was indeed contagious.
"Don't worry about my business. You just need to be more respectful to Sister Qinglan in the future."
For the sake of being sisters from the same mother, she said only this.
Zhou Han didn't want to say more about her third sister's opinion, and wanted to remind her a few more times that Qiao Shaorong was a rising star in Hong Kong City, a leader of the younger generation. How many celebrities and rich girls in Hong Kong City were eyeing this piece of cake? If her sister had such an attitude, she would have no place to cry if he ran away one day.
Zhou Hanxuan quickly changed the subject: "How are you getting along with Mr. Song San?"
Zhou Hanyi curled his lips and said, "What can I do? It's just like that! Compared with Qiao Shaorong, there is a world of difference."
One sentence will kill you.
Zhou Hanxuan was speechless. She picked up the coffee brought by the waiter and pretended to sip it.
At the beginning, except for her, everyone in the Zhou family looked down on the Qiao family and thought Shaorong was marrying above his station. But now that the situation has changed, people start to talk about Qiao Shaorong's good points again.
Compared to Qiao Shaorong, the third son of the Song family has mediocre abilities. He is a famous nightclub playboy in Hong Kong. He has no say at home and his monthly income is the salary paid by his family.
Compared with Qiao Shaorong, there is a huge gap between them. Zhou Hanyi is certainly not satisfied. But what's the use of her being dissatisfied? She is just a delicate young lady in the family who receives a monthly salary.
Ji Qinglan went to the bathroom and unexpectedly met a noble lady face to face. She was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, brushed past the noble lady, and went into the bathroom as usual.
Mrs. Huo was just casually looking at the visitor, but this one glance made her unable to take her eyes off him.
"Miss, please stay."
Mrs. Huo saw the person coming back and asked uncertainly, "Is the young lady from the mainland?"
Ji Qinglan looked at the person in front of him and nodded slightly.
The noble lady in front of her was none other than Aunt Wu, her former customer when she went to the countryside. At that time, she left a letter and followed her friend to find her husband and son. Since then, she had no news and thought she would never see her again in this life. Unexpectedly, she met her here again.
It is true that things in this world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us.
Mrs. Huo was a little nervous. She looked at Ji Qinglan and then assessed him inconspicuously. The more she did so, the more she suspected that she had recognized the wrong person.
But she still asked: "Miss, are you an educated youth in Qinghe County?"
Ji Qinglan nodded again: "I was an educated youth in the Honghe Brigade under Qinghe County."
Mrs. Huo suddenly became excited and quickly stepped forward to take Ji Qinglan's hand: "Miss, is it you? I am Aunt Wu, I..."
Ji Qinglan immediately grabbed her hand and stopped her, "Madam, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
