Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Ding Yang called Liu Cuicui.

"Hey, sis!"

"What happened to Ding Yang?"

"Sis, I'm planning to go back the day after tomorrow morning. Do you have time to go back?"

"Xiaoyang, I had planned to go back, but I've changed my mind now. I'm not going back."

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoyang, I have a boyfriend."

"Wow, really?"

Why would I lie to you?

"Tell me what's going on?"

"Xiaoyang, I'm at work now, I get off at 5:30, it'll be soon, let's talk after get off work. Where are you?"

"I'm at MixC Mall right now. How about I wait for you at your apartment? We can have dinner together tonight."

"OK!"

"Oh, sister, invite Qinghe too."

"I know."

Ding Yang called Tan Yan.

"Hey, sis!"

"Xiaoyang, have you picked up the car yet?"

"Yes, I got it, but the license plate is still temporary. I waited for three or four hours."

"So where are you now?"

"I'm at MixC now. I just bought two outfits and a cell phone. I'm going to my cousin's place for my grandma's birthday. I'm asking her if she's coming back with me. I called her just now, but she didn't answer. She's probably busy at work."

"Xiaoyang, come back for dinner. I'll be waiting for you."

"Sis, don't wait up. I'll have dinner with my sister. It's been a long time since I've eaten with them. I'll treat her to a nice meal and we can chat."

"Alright!"

When Ding Yang arrived at Gangxia Village, it was already 5 o'clock. He found a place to park his car and waited for about half an hour. Liu Cuicui and Qinghe, both wearing work suits, walked over hand in hand.

"Sister! Qinghe!"

"Brother Xiaoyang!"

"Sis, let's go eat. I'll take you to a nice meal."

"Sure!"

"Come on, I drove here, the car's over there."

"oh!"

After walking several dozen meters, I came to a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Ding Yang opened the car door.

"Wow, bro, is that a Mercedes G-Class?"

"Yeah! I just picked up the car today, and it still has temporary license plates."

"My goodness, this thing looks like it costs two or three million."

"Get on the bus!"

Liu Cuicui climbed directly into the passenger seat, leaving Qinghe to sit in the back.

"Xiaoyang, there's no tape recorder in the car this time, right?"

"No!"

"Xiao Yang, it's so nice to be a kept man. So many people can't even earn the price of a car in two lifetimes. This is too extravagant. Damn, I'm so envious and jealous."

"Sister, you only see the thief's glory, not the thief's beating."

"Come on, these days, everyone's glamorous in public but suffering in private."

"Sis, I'm taking you guys out for seafood today. Eating Hunan cuisine every day gets boring."

"Okay, since you're paying, we can eat whatever we want."

"Oh, sis, you said you found a boyfriend? What's going on?"

"A guy is pursuing me, and I'm ready to accept."

"Where are you from? How old are you?"

"He's from Yueyang, Hunan, 27 years old, graduated from Changsha University of Science and Technology with a bachelor's degree in architecture, and works in our company's design department. He's been with the company for two or three years."

"Sure, Changsha University of Science and Technology isn't a 985 university, but it's still pretty good. I've been in Changsha for several years, so I'm quite familiar with the school. What does the guy look like?"

"He's alright, but he can't compare to you. He's 1.74 meters tall, not fat or thin, and looks rather quiet with glasses on. He's not exactly handsome, but he's not ugly either. He's kind of like a bookworm."

"What about your family's financial situation?"

"His family is well-off. His father is an oncologist at a top-tier hospital in Yueyang, specializing in cancer treatment. His mother performs ultrasounds, so she can also be considered a doctor."

"Wow, that's pretty impressive. Those conditions are absolutely amazing. You could call them rich kids."

"I haven't agreed yet, I need to investigate further."

"What are you even looking for? You couldn't find conditions like this even with a lantern."

"You don't know anything. His family may be well-off, but those are his parents, not him. He doesn't have any money."

"They just graduated from university not long ago, how much money could they possibly have? Isn't that nonsense? With their parents backing them up, the two of you will live a very carefree life."

"Xiaoyang, I didn't refuse him, but I made one request: he wants to buy a house in Shenzhen."

Did they agree?

"I agreed, but he said I could only pay the down payment, not the full amount."

"That's great! Two people buying a house, two people paying the mortgage, what's wrong with that?"

"What's so great about it? How much do we earn? We have to pay thousands in mortgage every month. Doesn't that mean our quality of life will plummet?"

"Sis, stop being so dramatic. If you ask me, paying in full is not good; paying a down payment is better."

"What do you mean?"

"Sis, if he's buying the house outright, he definitely doesn't have the money. If his parents are giving him the money, it will only be registered in his name. Even if you add his name, it's still premarital property. How can you ask for that?"

"If you only pay the down payment, and when you buy the house you also spend tens of thousands of yuan to put both of your names on the deed, and then you both pay the mortgage together, wouldn't that be great?"

"His parents are both doctors, so his family must be well-off and have a lot of savings. You'll see after you get married."

"Just call his parents and tell them that paying the mortgage is too tiring, you see him working overtime and you feel sorry for him, the mortgage interest rate is also high, and you want to pay off the mortgage early. Ask his parents to lend you some money, and they definitely won't refuse."

"Sister, every man has a scale in his heart. You've been through poverty together, so he'll cherish you even more. Throughout history, very few men have truly abandoned their wives who shared their hardships, understand?"

"Xiaoyang, didn't you say before that you wanted Tan Yan to introduce me to a billionaire?"

"Sister, are you out of your mind? What's so great about being rich?"

"If a billionaire marries you, would you dare to throw a tantrum in front of him? No matter how much wealth he has, it's all premarital property. What does it have to do with you? He may be rich, but he's not crazy. If he asks you to have a prenuptial agreement before marriage, would you agree or disagree? If he dumps you, what will you get?"

"If he stays out all night playing around with other women, would you dare utter a single word? Do you really enjoy that kind of life? Being a spoiled rich woman isn't easy. Don't let those few luxury items dazzle you."

"You're almost 27, not young anymore. If someone plays you for a few years, they'll dump you. By 30, it won't be so easy to find a partner."

"I think this boy is perfect for you. No matter what troubles you two cause, his parents will always be there to support you. What good will marrying a rich man do you?"

"Don't pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. When happiness comes, don't let it slip away, or you'll regret it. Why are there so many single women over 30 these days? They're just not satisfied and they're wasting their lives."

"I'm hesitating too, but I haven't refused."

"Xiaoyang, do you have any money?"

"Sis, you've been in Dongguan for all these years, you didn't end up with no savings at all, did you?"

"Of course I have. When you dragged me back last time, I deposited all my money in the rural credit cooperative in our town. I put it in a three-year fixed deposit."

"How much?"

Why are you asking so many questions? I don't have much money on me right now anyway.

"Okay, how much do you want?"

2.

"Sister, what do you need so much money for?"

Liu Cuicui turned around and glanced at Qinghe.

"I can't buy a handbag!"

Ding Yang understood that she didn't want Qing He to hear it.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you."
