My buildings have attributes

"What's there to be helpless about?" Chen Xiaoqi asked immediately after hearing this.

Chen Xiaoqi was still quite concerned about the meaning behind Chen Ling's words.

Then Li Ran spoke up to explain, "Like this, every time I say something to you, you always make me repeat it to you, otherwise you won't understand. I'm not used to this kind of behavior from you."

"Oh, I see. Why didn't you say so sooner? If you had, I wouldn't have made you explain it to me again. I could have just figured it out myself when I got back." At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi spoke up with a smile.

"How could I dare tell you that? If I did, you'd be angry with me and kick me out," Li Ran quickly replied.

Li Ran thought to himself that he would never dare to speak to Chen Xiaoqi like this normally, and today Chen Xiaoqi had given him this opportunity.

"Well, alright, since that's how you see it, then I have nothing to explain. Just do what you think is best for you." At that moment, Chen Xiaoqi replied calmly.

"What's wrong? I don't think I said anything I shouldn't have said, so what's going on?" Just then, Li Ran asked calmly.

“Yes, you didn’t say anything you shouldn’t have said. These are all things I wanted to tell you,” Chen Xiaoqi said calmly from the side.

Chen Xiaoqi mainly thought that she didn't seem to have anything else to do, so she decided to just come.

"Why don't you two talk about it at home? Why do you have to say it here today? You're just wasting our time," Li Lili said with a smile.

Li Lili did this mainly because she felt that Chen Xiaoqi and the others were about to start arguing, so she thought it would be good to calm them down as soon as possible.

“Yes, that’s right. We seem to have taken up quite a bit of our chat time. Let’s talk about what we have to say when we get home. You guys can continue chatting now.” Li Ran, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up with a smile after hearing this.

Li Ran felt that she might have really made a mistake. So she quickly tried to make amends.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Okay, then let's continue chatting. You stay here and chat with your daughter."

"Huh? Okay." Li Ran was surprised at first, and then spoke up.

"Look at Li Ran, how good he is to you." Just then, Li Lili looked at Li Ran and couldn't help but praise him.

"Tch, if you say that, people who don't know better will think my brother treats you badly," Chen Xiaoqi immediately said with a smile.

Chen Xiaoqi's words were just a casual remark, but Li Lili, who was standing next to her, took them seriously.

Li Lili quickly explained, "That's not what I meant at all. Your brother is usually very good to me and takes good care of me."

"Yes, of course I know. Then what do you have to envy me for? Look at that envious look in your eyes, quickly put it away," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"I've really never met anyone who talks so funnyly. Okay, since that's what you think, I won't say anything more. Anyway, everything has multiple sides, so think it over carefully and get a reasonable conclusion." Just then, Li Lili said with a smile.

At this moment, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, spoke up while laughing.

"Ah, yes, everything has multiple sides, so you can't just look at the surface of things and start making judgments. You don't even know why he treated me this way. Don't you think so?" At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Li Lili hurriedly spoke up and said, "Hmm, it seems so. Okay, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"

"If you ask me to explain this, it's really hard to say. Hehe." Chen Xiaoqi said slowly with a smile.

Looking at Chen Xiaoqi's expression, Li Lili didn't think he was lying anymore, so she turned to look at Chen Xiaoqi and then didn't say anything more.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, what will we be like when the children grow up?" For some reason, at this moment, Chen Xiaoqi suddenly felt a lot of anticipation for the future.

Upon hearing Chen Xiaoqi's words, Chen's mother immediately laughed and said, "Ah, you don't need to think about this too much. It's just what the future looks like. Just look at me, I'm pretty much like that."

"Are you sure? Like this?" Chen Xiaoqi asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's how it is. What else do you think it is? What else could it be like? What's wrong? Aren't you satisfied with living like me?" Upon seeing this, Chen's mother immediately asked.

"No, that's not what I meant. You're overthinking it, hehe. If I could really be like you in the future, that would be true contentment," Chen Xiaoqi replied with a smile.

After hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said, Chen's mother was very pleased. She smiled and then said nothing more.

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Haha, yes, if I could be like Mom in the future, that would be so rare. Having filial descendants is such a wonderful thing. How lucky I am."

At this moment, Li Lili spoke up playfully.

So much so that when Chen's mother heard it, she was still quite surprised, because she did not expect Li Lili to speak like that.

Chapter 116 Quite Surprising!

Then, with a surprised look, Chen's mother turned to look at Li Lili and prepared to say a few words to her.

Chen's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, you still can't resist praising yourself a few more times, can you?"

“Yes, as the saying goes, ‘Wang Po sells melons, praising her own wares.’ You know, I also take every opportunity to praise myself.” Li Lili quickly chimed in with a smile.

Li Lili thought that it was a good thing for her to joke around with everyone occasionally.

However, at that moment, after hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Then, Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "The way you talk is quite interesting."

"Really? Mom, if you like it, I'll say it to you more often in the future. That way you'll be happier too," Li Lili quickly said upon seeing this.

Li Lili felt that since she liked this way of speaking, it would be fine to continue using it.

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "Sure, but it all depends on you. Whatever you like, I'm fine with it."

"Okay. Let's do it this way then, whatever makes you happy." Li Lili said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Chen's mother looked somewhat hesitant. Then, she smiled and said, "I didn't know that you could joke like that. I was quite surprised when I heard you say that."

"Haha, really! There's a lot you don't know. You'll discover it slowly in the future," Li Lili said with a laugh.

"Yes, that's fine," said Mrs. Chen with a smile.

And so Li Lili and the others chatted for a long time.

After a long time, Li Ran finally spoke again.

"I've seen you guys chatting for so long, I wonder if I can join you?" Li Ran asked tentatively.

"Um, what's wrong? Do you want to join us?" Li Lili asked immediately upon seeing this.

At this moment, Chen's mother also turned her gaze to Li Ran. Chen Xiaoqi, as a family member, chose to leave.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said, "Oh? Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. I want to join you guys, is that okay?" Chen Ling nodded earnestly in response.

Looking at Li Ran's sincere eyes, Li Lili and the others didn't know what to say, so they could only nod vigorously and reply, "Okay, then join us."

"Okay," Li Ran said with a smile.

However, at this moment, everyone was at a loss for what to talk about.

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "With a man suddenly joining us, I don't know what to say. Haha."

"Yes, I feel the same way. It's like we've run out of things to talk about." Just then, Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Wow, since even you say so, what else can I say?" Li Lili asked casually from the side.

"Really? I have such a big influence on you guys? I was quite surprised to hear you say that." Li Ran said with a smile at this moment.

"Tch, stop being so vain. We didn't mean anything by it, so don't overthink it." Just then, Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

Hearing those words, you knew it was Chen Xiaoqi who said them. Otherwise, who else in this family would speak to Li Ran like that, showing her no respect?

Just then, Li Lili interrupted Chen Xiaoqi with a smile, quickly asking, "Oh, by the way, I didn't know how your studio is doing lately. Is it better than before?"

"Yeah, it's a little better now. I feel pretty good, much smoother than before. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be in the mood to go out and have fun," Chen Xiaoqi replied immediately after hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Lili smiled and nodded, then said, "Yes, yes, then we're relieved to hear that you've thought of something good. We were worried that something had happened when you rushed out like that, but it turns out nothing happened. That's really great."

"Haha, nothing happened. We just wanted to go out for a walk. It was a rather hasty decision, and the trip was quite sudden. I'm sorry to have worried you all," Chen Xiaoqi continued.

However, at that moment, Li Lili quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Yes, yes, it's great. Anyway, the studio is much better than before. Being able to go out and see the scenery is quite nice. In your art terms, this is called finding inspiration, right?"

"Haha, if that's your excuse, then so be it. It's just that I didn't get any inspiration this time I went out, so I'm a little disappointed." Then Chen Xiaoqi spoke slowly.

Chen Xiaoqi was quite surprised after hearing Li Lili's words, because he hadn't expected that Li Lili's joke had actually touched on his own thoughts. She had indeed intended to use this opportunity to find inspiration, but ultimately hadn't succeeded.

"It's alright. I already said it's the right time of year. How can you find it so easily? It all depends on fate, right?" Li Lili, who was standing nearby, quickly comforted her.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother, who was sitting to the side, heard their conversation and immediately spoke up, "Yes, yes, that's right. These things all require fate, you can't rush them. Maybe you'll find it at any moment. Right?"

"Alright, you don't need to comfort me anymore. Do you think I don't know these things? I'm fine, I'm actually quite happy." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile after seeing the concerned looks in Li Lili and her mother's eyes.

Chapter 117 Nothing Goes Well?

Just then, Chen's mother was seen smiling and comforting Li Lili.

However, after seeing her mother's expression, Chen Xiaoqi didn't say anything more. After all, there really wasn't any other way; inspiration isn't something you can just come by easily.

"Why is everything so frustrating? It's really...sigh." Chen Xiaoqi then began to complain.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili immediately turned to look at Chen Xiaoqi, wondering what to do.

Then Chen's mother quickly replied, "Yes, that's right. But that's life, isn't it? Everyone's like this. Besides, we were just talking so well, why are you so pessimistic now? We were all so happy just now."

“That’s right, Mom is right. You seemed quite happy when you went out to play, and you were happy just now too. What’s wrong with you now? Are you starting to feel sad? Well, your reaction is a bit slow, isn’t it?” Li Lili, who was standing next to Chen’s mother, immediately chimed in.

At this moment, Li Lili and Chen's mother couldn't help but laugh. They thought Chen Xiaoqi was really hilarious; why did it take her so long to realize it?

Then Chen Xiaoqi said, looking quite aggrieved, "Well, there's a reason for that. We didn't get to this point earlier. Now that we're on this topic, it's understandable that I have these thoughts. It's normal to feel a bit sentimental and down, isn't it?"

"What you're saying doesn't seem wrong. I don't know how to reply to you, but it would be good if you could think more positively." Just then, Chen's mother spoke up with a smile.

After finishing her speech, Chen's mother immediately laughed and chuckled at Chen Xiaoqi. Then she added, "Keep it up!"

"What's with the 'add oil'? I wasn't even questioning my life, okay? I was just chatting with you guys, and this topic just came up. You were saying everything's going wrong. That's why I started sighing along with you guys, alright?" Chen Xiaoqi replied seriously.

"Hey, if you talk like that, then it's really pointless. How can you blame us? You're going a bit too far. We were just giving you an objective analysis, oh wait, we were just trying to comfort you. Why are you lecturing us instead?" Mrs. Chen asked, somewhat confused.

Then, Li Lili nodded vigorously, agreeing with what Chen's mother said.

After observing the reactions of her mother and Li Lili, Chen Xiaoqi felt as if it were all her fault, so she pouted and stopped saying anything.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so aggrieved?" Li Lili nudged Chen Xiaoqi's shoulder with her own and then said with a smile.

"Yes, I feel really wronged. But it's okay, my biggest strength is that I'm easygoing. I forget everything I said in a little while." Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother looked at Chen Xiaoqi with an incredulous expression, and then asked in great surprise, "What did you say? You've forgotten everything you said? Really? I can't believe it. I seem to remember. You remember these things the most clearly, right?"

"Tch, no way. You're overthinking it. It depends on the situation, okay? If I don't like something, I'll selectively forget about it. What's wrong? Do you think my personality is great?" Chen Xiaoqi immediately replied with a grin.

"If you like to pat yourself on the back like this, then I have nothing to say, and there's nothing I can do. Just do what makes you happy," Chen's mother answered Chen Xiaoqi's question directly.

If Chen Xiaoqi were to say that she would simply forget what she said, Chen's mother would never believe it. Because she clearly remembers many things that Chen Xiaoqi remembers very well.

"Why do I find your words getting harsher and harsher? What kind of things are you saying that I don't want to hear? How can you talk to your own daughter like that? Am I not your biological daughter?" Chen Xiaoqi asked jokingly...
