My buildings have attributes

"What are you going to say back to? How can I feel at ease if you act like this?" Chen Ling immediately retorted.

“You didn’t go to the company today, so you have to go tomorrow. I won’t go for the next few days; I’ll stay here for now. You can come over whenever you have time,” Li Lili said firmly.

After hearing this, Chen Ling didn't say anything more. Li Lili had said a lot, and he needed to go to the company tomorrow to check on things.

Chapter 263 Shen's Father's Words

Chen Ling looked at Li Lili and then said, "I'm a little worried about you being here alone. I'll find two experienced nurses for you later, and I'll come see you again tomorrow when I have time, okay?" Li Lili nodded quickly upon hearing this. After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Shen, Chen Ling prepared to leave.

After Chen Ling left, Shen's mother asked, "Ningxue, do Chen Ling's parents like you a lot?" Shen's mother knew that Li Lili was a beautiful and talented woman, so naturally she had nothing to complain about. "Yes, Aunt and Uncle treat me very well," Li Lili nodded after hearing Shen's mother's words.

"That's good. Ningxue, you must hold onto Chen Ling, do you hear me? You'd better give them a grandson." Mrs. Shen quickly walked over to Li Lili and whispered to her. Li Lili, not understanding what Mrs. Shen meant, looked at her with a confused expression.

However, Shen's mother noticed Li Lili's confusion and continued, "Let me tell you, there aren't many men as outstanding and wealthy as Chen Ling. Besides, he treats you well, and his parents treat you well too. You should try your best to marry into their family." Shen's mother began to share her thoughts with her.

Just then, Li Lili understood what Shen's mother meant, so she said again, "I genuinely like Chen Ling, it has nothing to do with these things." Li Lili's expression was a little impatient as she said this. "Yes, precisely because you like him, you should hold on to him tightly," Shen's mother continued.

At this moment, Mr. Shen said to Mrs. Shen, "What nonsense are you teaching the child? Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry about it. As long as Ningxue is happy, that's all that matters." Mr. Shen criticized Mrs. Shen. Then Mr. Shen said to Li Lili, "Ningxue, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Make your own decisions." Li Lili nodded in agreement after hearing Mr. Shen's words.

Li Lili thought to herself that she did want to marry Chen Ling, but her reasons for marrying him weren't as complicated as Shen's mother had made them out to be. "Alright, alright, Ningxue, seize the opportunity. Don't think I'm being long-winded. You'll understand when you're my age. I'm doing this for your own good. I'm here to acknowledge you, trust me, I won't go wrong," Shen's mother said again.

"I know," Li Lili said impatiently. "Alright, I'm going to check on your sister. You stay here and keep your father company," Shen's mother said, noticing Li Lili's impatience. After saying that, Shen's mother left the ward. After Shen's mother left, Shen's father asked, "Ningxue, Chen Ling treats you well, doesn't he?" "Yes, he's very good, Dad," Li Lili replied indifferently.

At this moment, Mr. Shen began to speak again: "It's all my fault, I've dragged you all down with me. Don't blame your mother, she's only trying to do what's best for you. She's been poor with me all these years." "Dad, don't say that, it's not your fault," Li Lili said, trying to comfort Mr. Shen.

At this moment, Mr. Shen continued, "I'm most sorry to you, especially Ninglu. Such a beautiful young woman, and you've become like this. It's all my fault for making you suffer." Mr. Shen became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and Li Lili frantically tried to comfort him. "Ningxue," Mr. Shen began, "some of what your mother said is actually true. Chen Ling is very good to you, and his family is good to you too. We're relieved that you two are together." "Yes, I know, Dad."

"He's already proposed to me, and we're getting married soon, so don't worry about these things. Focus on getting better first, and we can talk about other things later." As Li Lili said this, she waved her engagement ring in front of Mr. Shen. Seeing this, Mr. Shen felt relieved. "That's good. I'm at ease knowing you have someone to rely on," Mr. Shen added.

Seeing the worried look on Shen's father's face, Li Lili followed his words and said, "Okay, I know, don't worry. Don't worry about me." Li Lili was more concerned about Shen's father's health than her own marriage. Meanwhile, Chen Ling had just returned home when his parents called him over. His mother asked, "Chen Ling, what exactly happened to Ningxue's family?" Chen Ling sat down first, then began to explain, "Uncle Shen was in a car accident. The driver fled the scene and found someone to take the blame. The Shen family refused and took the case to court, but the other party is wealthy, so it was useless. Later, they hired someone to harm Ninglu, which caused her mental distress." Chen Ling slowly explained to them.

"What a beast!" Mr. Chen said angrily. Just then, Mrs. Chen spoke up, "Chen Ling, you must comfort Xiaoxue and tell her not to worry, everything will be alright." Mrs. Chen's voice was very gentle; it must be said, Mrs. Chen was a very well-mannered person.

At this moment, Chen Ling earnestly replied, "I know. Don't worry." After Chen Ling finished speaking, his father said, "Xiao Xue, they're pitiful too. This happened to them for no reason. From now on, please take better care of Xiao Xue. If she needs any help, just go and help her." Chen's parents weren't worldly-wise, nor did they force Chen Ling to break up with his girlfriend or forbid him from helping after learning about Li Lili's family's bottomless pit of debt. Instead, they encouraged Chen Ling to help them. It must be said that Chen's parents were both kind people.

Just then, Chen Ling said, "Don't worry, I know everything. Don't fret about these things, I'm here. Just leave it to me. When you have time, go see Xiao Qi. It's been so long, and she hasn't come back to visit." After Chen Ling finished speaking, Chen's mother said, "Now that you mention it, it's true. Xiao Qi hasn't come back to visit in so long, and not only has she not come, she hasn't even called. I'll call her later and talk to her." After saying that, Chen's mother took out her phone and started scrolling through Chen Xiao Qi's WeChat Moments, trying to find out something about her. Just then, Chen Ling left.

Chapter 264 Looking at You Differently

The next day, Chen Ling got up very early. He planned to go to the company first and then take some time to visit Li Lili and the others at the hospital.

"Good morning, son," Chen's mother greeted him as soon as he entered the living room.

"Good morning, Mom and Dad," Chen Ling said upon seeing this.

"Breakfast is on the table, have some before you go," Chen's mother said to Chen Ling. Since Li Lili left, Chen's mother and father no longer wait for Chen Ling for breakfast; they eat as soon as it's ready.

"Have you eaten yet?" Chen Ling asked, noticing that his father was reading the newspaper and his mother was watching TV.

"Yes, we've all eaten. You should go eat now, it's going to get cold soon," Mrs. Chen urged.

Just then, after speaking to Chen Ling, Chen's mother went back to watching TV. At that moment, Chen Ling strode to the dining table, quickly sat down, ate his breakfast, and hurriedly ran off.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going to work now." Chen Ling said hurriedly as he ran away.

After arriving at the company, Chen Ling went straight to his office. Looking at the documents on his desk, there was nothing urgent. Just then, Chen Ling suddenly thought of the construction workers. At that moment, Chen Ling called Liu Yuyang. As soon as the call connected, Liu Yuyang immediately asked, "What's wrong, boss? Is something wrong today? Aren't you coming over again?"

Seeing that Chen Ling had called him so early, Liu Yuyang assumed that Chen Ling wasn't coming to the company again today, so he asked directly.

"What? I'm already at the company. Where are you? Have you arrived yet?" Chen Ling was speechless after hearing Liu Yuyang's words, but he couldn't blame Liu Yuyang. It could only be said that Chen Ling had been too busy lately.

"You're at the company already? So fast? I'm almost there, downstairs." Liu Yuyang was taken aback when he heard Chen Ling's words, and then began to speak.

"Okay, now that you're here, just come straight to my office," Chen Ling said again. After saying that, Chen Ling hung up the phone immediately, acting decisively.

Liu Yuyang arrived shortly afterward.

Liu Yuyang knocked on Chen Ling's office door.

"Come in," Chen Ling said immediately after hearing the door open.

As soon as Liu Yuyang entered, he asked in a surprised tone, "What are you doing? Did the sun rise in the west today? Why are you here so early?" Liu Yuyang mocked Chen Ling.

"Coming to work? What else could I be doing? I've been busy with some things lately, that's why I haven't been to the company. Why are you so surprised?" Chen Ling was speechless at Liu Yuyang's tone, so he said helplessly to him.

"Okay, okay, that's fine. You're the boss, whatever makes you happy. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about?" Liu Yuyang started to agree with Chen Ling, then remembered that Chen Ling had called him early that morning, and then began to speak.

"Yes, yes, I called you to talk about the mall construction team. How did you resolve it?" Chen Ling finally got back to the point.

"Oh, is that all? I was just about to tell you. I haven't done much these past few days, just checked on the construction progress at the site. The reason I hired them was because they came to me and told me about their family situation, which was quite difficult for them. I saw that they were very dedicated to their work, so I let them come. But I didn't expect them to work so hard. I did talk to them about giving them a raise, but they wouldn't accept it." Liu Yuyang started to get serious and began to talk.

"Huh? They won't accept it?" Chen Ling immediately asked after hearing Liu Yuyang's words. In this era, how could there still be people who think their salary is too high? Chen Ling was a little curious.

"Yes, they said it's because the wages our company offered were already higher than the market price, and they also knew that this project wasn't originally intended for them. So they said they didn't need any wages," Liu Yuyang explained to Chen Ling again.

"Your values ​​are so upright, I have to look at you with new respect." Chen Ling said, feeling a sense of respect for the construction team after hearing Liu Yuyang's words.

"Yes, when I first heard what the person in charge said, I was also very surprised. After all, everyone's family is struggling financially and they're all short of money," Liu Yuyang recalled the scene that day and then began to speak.

"Come with me to the construction site and see them later," Chen Ling said calmly, looking at Liu Yuyang.

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Liu Yuyang was first surprised, and then nodded in agreement.

Then Liu Yuyang went back first. He needed to finish his work for the day before he could accompany Chen Ling. So Liu Yuyang quickly dealt with his work.

Not long after, Liu Yuyang finished his work and walked over to Chen Mengyao. He said softly to her, "Honey, I have to go out with the boss later, so I won't be able to have lunch with you." As he spoke, Liu Yuyang glanced at Chen Ling's office.

"Okay, sure." Chen Mengyao nodded obediently after hearing Liu Yuyang's words.

So Liu Yuyang went into Chen Ling's office again, intending to ask Chen Ling whether he was going now or not.

"Shall we go?" Liu Yuyang asked immediately after entering.

"Okay, let's go." Chen Ling looked up at Liu Yuyang and then began to speak. Chen Ling then shut down the computer and got up to leave.

"Drive your car, then take me to Yihe Hospital." Chen Ling said as soon as he left the company.

"Why are you going to the hospital? Are you sick? No, Goddess Shen didn't come today, is she sick?" When Liu Yuyang heard that Chen Ling was going to the hospital, he thought that Chen Ling was sick, but seeing Chen Ling's appearance, he didn't think that he was sick. So he thought about it again and realized that Goddess Shen hadn't come to the company today, so he started to ask.

"Ah, you guessed half right. This time it wasn't Ningxue who had an accident, it was her family." Chen Ling said calmly to Liu Yuyang after listening to his words.

As they were talking, they arrived at the garage, got into the car, and prepared to drive to the construction site.

"Is it her father or her sister who's here?" Liu Yuyang asked again after getting into the car.

"His whole family has come," Chen Ling said calmly after hearing Liu Yuyang's words.

Chapter 165 Brothers Arrive to Advise

At that moment, Liu Yuyang immediately flew into a rage upon hearing Chen Ling's words. He yelled at Chen Ling, "Big brother, don't tell me you're planning to take care of everything for their family? Don't be stupid! Li Lili's family is a bottomless pit; you can never fill it."

Liu Yuyang's attitude changed quickly. Chen Ling knew that Liu Yuyang meant well, but there was nothing he could do; Chen Ling genuinely wanted to live with Li Lili. So Chen Ling said, "I know what you mean, but I'm not prepared to break up with Li Lili because of these things." Chen Ling's tone was full of determination.

Upon hearing Chen Ling's words, Liu Yuyang began loudly again, "Brother, didn't I say you shouldn't be with Li Lili anymore? You can be together, but don't try to fill that hole in their family's house. To put it bluntly, Li Lili's father has been paralyzed for so many years. This is just a waste of money; it's impossible to cure him. And Li Lili's sister suffered such a huge shock; she has mental issues. When will she recover? We don't even know. How can you knowingly throw money into something that's pointless?" Liu Yuyang looked like he wanted to devour Chen Ling. He genuinely wanted to persuade him.

“Yes, you’re right, I know that too, but as Li Lili’s boyfriend, I can’t just watch her worry and be sad because of these things and leave her to fend for herself.” Chen Ling looked at Liu Yuyang and then shared his thoughts.

"Okay, then tell me, is your intervention even useful? Even if Yihe has different attributes, it only means the recovery rate is higher, not that all patients who go in will recover. What you're doing is completely useless. Alright, let's put all that aside for now. I just want to ask you, how much money do you have left? There's not much money left in the company account. We took a lot of money from our charity work before, and we haven't taken on any profitable projects since. This project is still underway, and we still need to invest more money in it. Just tell me, how much money do you have left that Li Lili's family can afford?" Liu Yuyang began to talk about practical matters.

"This..." Chen Ling didn't know what to say after hearing Liu Yuyang's words. So he opened his mouth, thought for a moment, and then closed it again.

At that moment, Liu Yuyang asked again, "What do your family members think?"

"They are all very supportive of me. My mom and dad are kind-hearted. They told me that if Ningxue has any difficulties, they will try their best to help her." Chen Ling said confidently, recalling his parents' words.

"Brother, you've really fallen for Li Lili. I'm not trying to criticize you, but I warned you before not to fall for her. You can find any woman you want, why did you have to go and fill this bottomless pit?" Liu Yuyang looked at Chen Ling and was still angry for him.

At this moment, Chen Ling said something that Liu Yuyang couldn't refute: "If the same thing happened to Chen Mengyao, what would you do?" As soon as Chen Ling asked this question, Liu Yuyang fell silent.

After hearing Chen Ling's words, Liu Yuyang began to think that if Chen Mengyao really encountered a problem, he would probably do the same as Chen Ling, doing his best to help her and telling her not to worry, that he could handle everything for her.

At that moment, Chen Ling began to say, "You're the same. If Chen Mengyao were in the same situation, you would do the same as me. So, stop trying to persuade me. Neither of us would abandon our women." Chen Ling said confidently.

“Yes, if Chen Mengyao had encountered something, I’m afraid I would have done the same. Sigh, but I still have to say, you’re going to lose everything this time.” Liu Yuyang stopped trying to persuade Chen Ling and just told him the reality.

"By the way, what was Li Lili thinking? She asked you for help too. Well, it makes sense. Who else could she ask for help if not you?" Liu Yuyang looked at Chen Ling and said helplessly. He thought about how pitiful Li Lili was, given her family's situation.

“Yes, who else could she turn to if not me? When this happened to her family, she must have been even more desperate than she is now. I just regret that I wasn’t there for her during that time, so now I don’t want to miss any opportunity when she needs me.” Chen Ling told Liu Yuyang his true feelings.

"Alright, since you've said that, I won't say anything more." At this moment, Liu Yuyang was no longer acting like an employee, but like an older brother, speaking to Chen Ling.

However, Chen's parents, on the other hand, started to get busy with their own things after Chen Ling left.

Mr. Chen first helped Mrs. Chen with some housework, and then went downstairs to play chess with his friends.

Mr. Chen had already bonded with the elderly people in the neighborhood and established new friendships. Around this time, he also found his own group and started playing chess with his friends.

After Mr. Chen left, Mrs. Chen remembered that she had talked to Chen Ling about Chen Xiaoqi yesterday. Thinking that she should call Chen Xiaoqi, she took out her phone to call her.

"Hello, Xiaoqi," Chen's mother said immediately after the call connected.

"Oh, Mom. I miss you so much." As soon as Chen Xiaoqi heard her mother's voice, she started calling out that she missed her.

"Come on, you still miss me? If you miss me, why don't you come back to see me?" Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Chen's mother began to speak to her. Her mother's disdainful tone made Chen Xiaoqi feel slightly embarrassed.

"Oh dear, I've been busy at home lately," Chen Xiaoqi asked after hearing her mother's words.

As soon as Chen Xiaoqi said she was busy at home, Chen's mother immediately said, "You can't even tell a lie anymore. Busy at home? What else can you be busy at home?"

After hearing her mother's words, Chen Xiaoqi stopped explaining and changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Mom, did you call me because of something?"

"Can't I call you to check on you even when I have nothing to do? Really!" Chen's mother was speechless after hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words.

Chapter 266 Construction Workers

Chen's mother wondered to herself, what was wrong with her daughter? Why couldn't she even call her for no reason?

"Haha, of course that's fine. I'm overjoyed that you called me," Chen Xiaoqi replied to her mother.

"By the way, Mom, how are my brother and sister-in-law doing?" Before Chen's mother could answer, Chen Xiaoqi started talking again. However, Chen Xiaoqi was just asking casually and did not know anything about Li Lili's family affairs.

"Xiaoqi, now that you mention it, I just remembered something," Mrs. Chen said in a rambling tone.

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Chen's mother's tone piqued Chen Xiaoqi's curiosity.

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Chen's mother immediately said, "Let me tell you, Xiaoxue's family has come."

Just as Chen's mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Xiaoqi on the other end of the phone. Chen Xiaoqi said, "Mom, this is good news! You should finalize my marriage with my sister-in-law as soon as possible."

From the phone call, Chen's mother could hear the joy in Chen Xiaoqi's voice, but things weren't as simple as Chen Xiaoqi thought. So Chen's mother said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. Things aren't as simple as you think. Ningxue's family is here for a medical checkup."
