"You and Xiaolan are different after all, okay!" Wu Ke said with a pout. "Keke, I think it's very wrong for you to think like this!" Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Even if there is no Xiaolan, wouldn't there be other girls? If you have so little confidence in me and yourself now, then in the future I We can't have too much contact with other girls. If this is the case, will we have a happy life in the future?" Wu Ke fell silent for a moment after hearing what Chu Chen said. Although Chu Chen is her first love, , but Youdao has never eaten pork, and has seen pigs running away. Whether it is in books, classmates, or some things he has heard, it is clearly shown that distrust is often the beginning of misfortune, and it is built on A marriage based on distrust will not last long. Just like Chu Chen said, if she is always suspicious, she will definitely not have a happy life in the future, and this is definitely something she does not want to see. Actually, if you think about it from another angle, since Chu Chen has such good conditions and still likes her, and has already reached the point of talking about marriage, if he doesn't really love her, why should he do this? Besides, after so many years of contact, doesn¡¯t she still understand what kind of character Chu Chen has? Thinking of this, Wu Ke felt that she didn't need to have any extra thoughts at all, as long as she was happily with Chu Chen. The reason why she was with Chu Chen was not because she believed that Chu Chen would bring her A happy life? "Achen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thought so wildly!" Wu Ke said to Chu Chen with an apologetic look. Chu Chen stroked her hair gently and said with a smile: "Fool. You didn't do anything wrong, so what do you have to be sorry for? But you have to promise me. If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me. But don't Keep it in your heart! " "Yes, I will! " After more than three hours of flight, the plane landed at Xiangjiang International Airport. When they walked to the door with a salute, He saw Liu Sizhe, who was sitting in the business class, smiling and waving goodbye to a child. When he saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, his eyes lit up and he walked over immediately. He repeatedly urged the two of them to leave quickly. After getting off the plane, Chu Chen asked curiously: "What's going on? It looks like you encountered some man-eating tiger." "What tiger! That little guy is simply a monster!" Liu Sizhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You guys I don¡¯t know, that little guy just now was so naughty. I have never seen such a naughty kid. From Beijing to getting off the plane just now, he didn¡¯t stop for a moment. If I had sat there for another hour or two, I would have I'm going to collapse." "Is it that exaggerated?" Chu Chen said with a smile. "It's not an exaggeration at all. I can't even imagine it now. If my son was so naughty, what kind of life would it be like!" At this point, Liu Sizhe showed an expression of lingering fear. "You" "Ellie!" Just as Chu Chen was about to say something with a smile, he saw Qiao Xi waving to them at the entrance. Seeing this, the three people rushed forward to greet him. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Liu Sizhe was going directly to Xiangjiang University to give Wang Xiaoyue a surprise. So he said hello to Qiao Xi and left first. "Ellie. How many days are you planning to stay this time?" Josie asked as she walked. "Maybe the 29th or the 30th!" Wu Ke said with a smile: "It's just our schedule that will trouble you during this period!" "No problem, as long as you don't mind me being a light bulb." Qiao Qian smiled. said. "How could this be possible!" Chu Chen and Wu Ke both smiled and shook their heads. Qiao Qian saw the happy and sweet look that Wu Ke and Chu Chen showed all the time. He smiled and said: "I really envy you two, you have such a good relationship." Wu Ke smiled and said: "If you are envious, you should also find a boyfriend!" Qiao Qian pretended to be sad and said: "It can't be that easy. , and now that you have Brother Chu to compare with, it will be even harder to find! " "Don't even think about it!" Wu Ke refused directly with a smile, "By the way, Achen and I!" We are getting engaged on the 6th of next month. When we go back, please come with us and let us do our best. " "Ah! So fast!" Qiao Qian was very surprised by this. Wu Ke said: "It's not too fast. Didn't I tell you that I got married to Achen after graduation. It's just right to get engaged now!" Qiao Qian thought about it and felt that in terms of days, it was indeed about the same. , just when she was about to agree to Wu Ke's proposal, she suddenly thought of her own situation and could only politely refuse: "Ellie, I'm really right."Come on, something happened at my family, so I can't come with you then. " "What? "Hearing what she said, Chu Chen and Wu Ke were both surprised. Wu Ke quickly asked: "Qiao Qian, what's going on? " Qiao Xi said with a sad face: "Didn't my dad open a small company? Some time ago, a friend of my dad came to tell me that he had a very good investment project. He wanted to invest with my dad because he didn't have enough capital. , and the return on capital was quick. My dad thought it was good, so he used the company¡¯s working capital to invest in it. " "As a result, the project failed, and all the money my dad invested was lost. And misfortunes never come singly. A batch of products in my dad's company had problems, and he had to pay a lot of money. It would have been fine if the investment hadn't failed, but now the company has no money to repay it, and my parents are so anxious that they can only take out the property as a mortgage first. " Speaking of this, she was somewhat glad that she had paid all the tuition fees in one lump sum before, otherwise it would have been a hassle for her to even pay for school. " For such an important matter, why didn't Sister Jiaying give us a call? "Chu Chen said with a frown. Qiao Qian was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then asked a little strangely: "Brother Chu, why do you call my mother Sister Jiaying? " "Because your uncle is Achen's senior brother! "Wu Ke explained from the side. Qiao Qian exclaimed with a surprised look on her face: "Ah! You said that my uncle who died when he was young was Brother Chu¡¯s senior brother? "Wu Xiaoxiao said: "That can still be a lie. Mr. Liu even asked Achen to bring something to your mother! " At the same time, the three of them walked to a taxi and put away the gifts. After getting into the car, Chu Chen said to Qiao Qian: "Don't worry about this, as long as your father doesn't need too much. I can help him find a way to make money. " Hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiao Xi quickly expressed gratitude: "Brother Chu, thank you so much! ¡¡± Xiangjiang, an important financial, service and shipping center in Asia, this cosmopolitan city with the reputation of ¡°Pearl of the Orient¡±, I believe the Chinese people know something about it. ¡°The word Xiangjiang was a very important word when Chu Chen was a child. Synonymous with a mysterious and rich metropolis. Because it is located in a mountainous area, communications, transportation, and information are not developed. The electronic watches, bell-bottom pants, walkman, etc. that were popular in the 1980s were not available until Chu Chen went to the capital. , and then they gradually appeared. Chu Chen remembered that when Er Gouzi from the next village passed by Lujia Village in a group of five and six wearing bell-bottom pants and a walkman, the people in the village were extremely surprised. Chu Chen also had an infinite yearning for Xiangjiang for the first time, thinking that he must come and see it in his lifetime. Although he later went to the capital, saw the world, and had a certain understanding of Xiangjiang from TV, until now. With the return of Xiangjiang, people know more and more about it, but his desire to visit Xiangjiang has not faded away, and this time he finally fulfilled his wish. The appearance is basically the same. The coexistence of ancient buildings and modern high-rise buildings reflects the blending of Eastern and Western cultures and makes Chu Chen feel fresh. In addition, the biggest feeling of Xiangjiang for Chu Chen is that it is crowded and constantly flowing. On the road, there are pedestrians passing by all the time, and most of them have anxious expressions on their faces. You can tell at a glance that they are busy for life. Chu Chen couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. It was prosperous here, but the pace of life was too fast. It was nothing for him to travel for a while. If he lived here, forget it. This was just like the idle clouds and wild cranes in his mind. Their lives are really very different. Along the way, Qiao Qian kept acting as a tour guide for the two of them, giving a brief introduction to the social situation in Xiangjiang. It can be said that land in Xiangjiang is very expensive, and the price of houses is certainly not cheap. It is generally about ten times that of Beijing. With such high housing prices, of course few people can afford to buy a large house, such as a house of 40 to 50 square meters. An average family in Xiangjiang has several people living together, with three generations living together. It is very common to have bunk beds and bunk beds in bedrooms and living rooms. Of course, with housing prices so expensive, it is certainly not possible for everyone to afford a house. In order to deal with this situation, the government has formulated quite a few policies. The perfect low-rent housing system stipulates that after living in a low-rent housing for five years, low-rent tenants are eligible to spend money to purchase the low-rent housing and make it their own property. Since it is their own property, they can buy and sell it freely. As a result, many poor people five years ago quickly stepped onto the stage of life with properties to live in and sell through the support of the low-rent housing policy. The three of them got out of the car in front of a high-end apartment, and then Chu Chen and Wu Ke. , and followed Qiao Xi to her home.sp;Qiao Qian's family lives on the third floor, a residence with an area of ??more than 130 square meters. This is considered a luxury house in Xiangjiang, where housing generally only has an area of ??40 to 50 square meters. However, such a residence that Josie's family is proud of is likely to change its owner soon due to an investment failure by Josie's father. It's no wonder that as soon as Chu Chen stepped into Josie's house, it was obvious that She felt that her family was in despair. (To be continued)
