Mixed in 1980

Chapter 407 I dare not admit it

"Xiao Ya, what a coincidence!"

Chen Yanjin grinned and laughed heartily: "You guys live here too?"

Xiao Ya, arm in arm with the man, smiled slightly and said, "Yes, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Zhao Yue. He lives around here. What are you doing here?"

In response to Xiao Ya's second question, Chen Yanjin smiled slightly and said, "That's quite a coincidence. I just bought a house here, so we'll be practically neighbors from now on."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Ye sisters: "My fiancée, Ye Wan, and my sister-in-law, Ye Ling."

Ye Wan walked over arm in arm with her younger sister: "Hello!"

Xiao Ya glanced at the Ye sisters, nodded slightly in greeting, and then looked at Chen Yanjin: "Are you getting married so soon?"

"It's not going to be fast; we'll have the wedding after graduation."

Ye Wan stepped forward and spoke first: "We were just about to go out to eat. Since we're classmates, why don't we go together? It'll be more lively with more people."

Chen Yanjin was confused. What was his wife up to?
Perhaps it was just a polite gesture, but Xiao Ya readily agreed: "Okay, we were just about to go out for dinner, let's go together."

Then she said to Zhao Yue, "Honey, go get the car, we'll wait for you here."

"No need, just ride in our car."

Ye Wan glanced at her boyfriend meaningfully, suppressing a laugh: "Chen Yanjin, don't just stand there, quickly open the car door."

Helpless, Chen Yanjin could only press the car key.

The headlights of a Mercedes-Benz G500 next to them flashed, and Xiao Ya was taken aback. Was that Chen Yanjin's car?
Can he afford a luxury car worth millions?

Before she could react, Ye Wan took her arm and walked over, getting into the back seat and squeezing in with Ye Ling and the other two, while Zhao Yue sat in the passenger seat.

Chen Yanjin drove straight to Xinghuo Building No. 2.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Ya was filled with mixed feelings, but mostly she was confused. Was it possible for Chen Yanjin to buy a house and a car?

If I had that ability, I wouldn't have broken up with him.

Ye Wan was very enthusiastic, chatting about various topics along the way, but she didn't mention that Chen Yanjin and Xiao Ya had dated before, pretending that she knew nothing about it.

Upon arriving at Xinghuo Building No. 2, Ye Wan led her people straight to the private restaurant on the 16th floor. Chen Yanjin had taken her there once before, and the food was exceptionally delicious.

Xiao Ya held the menu and looked at the prices, feeling even more confused. She felt that things shouldn't be like this; something was wrong with everything.

After ordering, before the food arrived, Xiao Ya suppressed her emotions and smiled, "Where are you planning to hold your wedding banquet? I'll definitely come."

Ye Wan said, "It should be held at home."

Xiao Ya feigned surprise: "Holding it at home? That means we can't set up many tables?"

Ye Wan smiled faintly: "No, Chen Yanjin's family has a courtyard house, with three courtyards and two side courtyards on the east and west sides, totaling more than 3,000 square meters."

"He lives in a courtyard house?" Xiao Ya asked in surprise.

Ye Wan nodded and said, "Yes, it's right by Shichahai Lake. They were lucky. They bought it in the 1980s for only a few hundred thousand yuan. Now, that kind of house would cost two hundred million yuan."

"You can come over to my house sometime when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ya was filled with mixed emotions and couldn't understand why this was happening. Even so, she forced herself to finish the meal.

Even after returning home, I still couldn't figure it out.

"How is it?" Ye Wan raised an eyebrow.

Chen Yanjin was both amused and exasperated: "Ye Wan, you're impressive, showing off so subtly. But was it really necessary? She's a complete stranger."

Ye Wan snorted, "Of course it's necessary. What did she say at the coffee shop that day? Today I'm here to get revenge for you. No one can bully my man."

"My wife is so cool, give me a hug." Chen Yanjin pushed his arm away.

Ye Ling coughed lightly: "There are still people here."

Chen Yanjin paused, then took his wife's hand: "I almost forgot there's a child here. Let's go back inside, so we don't spoil the child."

Before Ye Ling could react, the door was already locked. Then Ye Ling banged on the door: "Chen Yanjin, who is the child? Come out and explain yourself."

"Why did you provoke her?" Ye Wan found it amusing.

Chen Yanjin touched her nose: "Can you blame me? That short temper of hers, she explodes at the slightest provocation, tsk tsk... If she gets married in the future, she'll definitely be abusive every day."

"Say it louder if you dare," Ye Wan said angrily. He's always gossiping about his sister-in-law behind her back; he's not acting like a brother-in-law at all. But then again, Ye Ling does have a fiery temper; most people couldn't handle it.

……

Time passes day by day.

Before we knew it, it was early July, and graduation season arrived as scheduled. For the Chen family, this year's graduation season was particularly lively, with the second son graduating with a doctorate and the third and fourth sons graduating with bachelor's degrees.

The Ye sisters have also graduated.

When Chen Yancheng received his graduation certificate, he felt no joy, only a sigh: "The days of freedom are gone forever, how bitter!"

Dad has already called and said that after returning to Beijing, he will go to Hong Kong, where he will most likely be working with my second brother. The days ahead are sure to be quite eventful.

"Chen Yancheng, when are you leaving?"

Gao Lu walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "I'll see you off at the airport the day you go back."

Chen Yancheng quickly shook his head: "No need, right?"

Gao Lu gritted her teeth: "I've liked you for four years, pursued you for four years, and this is the last time I'm giving you this gift. Consider it the end of this relationship. You can't refuse, right?"

"Alright then, 10 a.m. tomorrow." Chen Yancheng sighed and said nothing more.

Back in the dorm, I started packing. I had to throw away a lot of things because I wouldn't need them after I got back, and it would be a waste of effort to bring them back.

While cleaning out my wardrobe, I found an old sandalwood bracelet. After thinking for a moment, I put it in my pocket. It was a gift from Gao Lu, so I'll keep it as a souvenir.

The next day, I said goodbye to my roommates.

Chen Yancheng left for the airport ahead of time. He waited at the airport entrance for a while, but Gao Lu did not appear. He couldn't help but frown.

I took out my phone to check the time; I was going to be late.

A message suddenly popped up on WeChat from Gao Lu: "Chen Yancheng, I've thought about it and decided not to see you off. Have a safe trip."

Chen Yancheng breathed a sigh of relief. Gao Lu was really coming. He didn't know what to say. It was better not to meet her than to meet her. For some reason, he felt a little lost and guilty.

I didn't snap out of my thoughts until the plane took off.

Two hours later, the plane landed in Beijing. Chen Yancheng walked out with his luggage when someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

Turning around, he was stunned: "Gao Lu?"

Gao Lu smiled: "Don't you recognize me?"

Chen Yancheng smiled wryly: "Why are you here?"

Gao Lu raised an eyebrow slightly and teased, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not with you. I came to Beijing for fun and made plans with Sister Yan Xi."

After saying that, he walked out.

Chen Yancheng suddenly realized that he had been betrayed by his older sister. Sure enough, his older sister was already waiting at the arrival gate, happily chatting with Gao Lu.

She walked over with a resentful look on her face and was immediately slapped by her older sister: "Hurry up and help Xiao Lu with her luggage. You have no sense at all."

"Here you go!" Chen Yancheng took the luggage.

Gao Lu slightly raised the corners of her mouth, took Chen Yanxi's arm and walked out. They quickly arrived at the parking lot, and when they saw the luxury car in front of them, they couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Sis, is this your car?"

Chen Yanxi touched his nose: "Hey, family, don't just stand there, get in the car first."

Gao Lu was suspicious; something seemed amiss.

Chen Yancheng was very poor. When he was in school, he wore clothes that cost only a few dozen yuan from street vendors, and even his shoes cost only a few dozen or a hundred yuan.

When we go out to eat, it's either the cafeteria, barbecue stalls, or open-air food stalls; we're barely making ends meet.

But they own a luxury car worth millions?

After Chen Yanxi got into the car and sat in the back, Chen Yancheng got into the driver's seat and started the car quickly, clearly very familiar with it.

Gao Lu felt dizzy.

It wasn't until the car stopped and I looked at the courtyard house in front of me, and the four large characters "Chen Family Villa" hanging on the gate, that I finally realized that Chen Yancheng was pretending to be poor.

Chen Yanxi raised an eyebrow slightly and said teasingly, "Little Lu, you're not afraid to go in, are you?"
