Chapter 795: Chapter 794: May I Come In?

Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but laugh, "Just let things take their course, there’s no need to overthink it deliberately. Who knows, maybe in a short while, you’ll develop feelings for someone else?"

"True." Yang Xiaoxi nodded, agreeing with Shen Mianmian’s opinion.

"There’s still some lean meat porridge in the pot. Wash up and eat some, shall you? It’s only a little past nine, too early for lunch."

"Okay."

Yang Xiaoxi responded cheerfully, like a happy little bird, and ran off to clean up.

Shen Mianmian sat in the courtyard reading a book. After a while, Yang Xiaoxi came over with a bowl of porridge.

"Mianmian, what happened with the house you mentioned last time? Why is there no news again?"

Shen Mianmian had been looking to buy a haunted house, and the news had been out for a long time. People had suggested a few places, and Shen Mianmian indeed went to look, but the prices were just too high for her to afford.

The one that left the deepest impression on Shen Mianmian was a three-story villa that had been abandoned for over a decade. Including the yard, it covered more than four hundred square meters. If she could buy that place and transform it into a haunted house, she could make a fortune. Unfortunately, she didn’t have that much money.

Three hundred thousand was an astronomical figure to her at the moment.

Thinking of this, Shen Mianmian shook her head, "It’s too expensive, I can’t afford it. If only there were houses for seventy to eighty thousand."

Business in Licheng had been good lately; Xiaocui sent her over ten thousand yuan. Together with her own savings and the money from Brother He, she could just barely afford a house that cost seventy to eighty thousand.

"Then it’s all down to luck." Yang Xiaoxi took a sip of porridge, thought for a moment, and then said, "Most of the students at our school are from out of town, so they’re definitely not very familiar with the area. Why don’t we ask the old man? He’s a local; he must know a lot."

Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea."

For Shen Mianmian, there wasn’t anything that made her happier than making money.

When she was in a good mood, she would forget all the unhappy things.

But who would have thought that the old man, as if knowing they needed his help, didn’t come today. Yang Xiaoxi and Shen Mianmian were a bit worried about him. It was the first time in this period that the old man hadn’t come over.

He used to come over every week.

"We have to go back to school tomorrow, and the old man hasn’t come to get food. I hope he isn’t going hungry?"

Shen Mianmian thought carefully and guessed, "Maybe his grandson is back."

The old man had mentioned before that his grandson would occasionally come back, but he didn’t really take care of him. When he came, he wouldn’t stay long.

Maybe the grandson was out of money again. Seeing that the old man had been doing well lately, with plenty to eat and drink, he might have thought his grandfather had money and had come to ask for some more.

"That unfilial grandson, if I were the old man, I would beat him to death," Yang Xiaoxi said with a sense of resentment.

"Let’s eat first! We’ll save a portion for the old man. If he comes, he can have some; if not, we’ll keep it for dinner." Shen Mianmian took out two empty bowls and saved some food.

After finishing the meal, Yang Xiaoxi diligently cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. Shen Mianmian was wiping the stone table when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Thinking it might be the old man, Shen Mianmian felt a surge of joy, but when she looked up, she saw Ruan Lingyu standing at the gate, accompanied by Cheng Feiyang.

"May I come in?" Ruan Lingyu asked expressionlessly.

"Of course." Shen Mianmian, who had just realized who it was, immediately invited Ruan Lingyu in.

Cheng Feiyang, however, did not enter. He said with a troubled look, "You two chat, I’ll head back first."
