My buildings have attributes

"Uh, yeah, why are you looking at me for no reason? We have someone at home who's waiting for you to take a closer look. If you don't have anything else to do, go and see him more often," Chen Ling said with a smile.

Then, Chen's mother, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Hmm, yes, that seems to be true. Never mind, I won't look at you anymore, you're really stingy."

After hearing his mother's evaluation of him, Chen Ling didn't know what to say. So he could only mutter to himself and ignore it.

Before long, breakfast was over. After eating, Chen Ling left home and headed to the company.

However, the others began to look forward to the afternoon's gathering.

However, during this waiting time, Chen's mother and Li Lili did not pass the time by reading the newspaper like Chen's father. In comparison, Chen's mother and Li Lili had a much more fulfilling time.

"Does this look good on you?" Chen's mother asked Li Lili as she changed into the new clothes she had bought at the mall.

"Yes, yes, it looks good, it looks good," Li Lili replied with a smile.

The two then began preparing from the inside out...

After finally making it to the time for the gathering, Mr. Chen hurriedly urged Mrs. Chen and Li Lili to hurry up, and only after a while did he finally leave the house.

"To the International Hotel," Mr. Chen said with a smile to the driver after hailing a cab.

After Chen's mother and the others were all seated in the car and had set off, Chen's mother said somewhat nervously, "I'm suddenly feeling a little panicked."

"It's alright, Dad and I are here with you." Seeing this, Li Lili quickly took Chen's mother's hand and said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Mrs. Chen nodded and said.

And so, Chen's mother and Li Lili began driving towards the gathering place...

Soon, they arrived at the agreed location and then saw Chen's mother and the others, and hurriedly walked towards the private room.

When Chen's mother reached the door of the private room, she suddenly stopped and didn't have the courage to go in.

"It's alright, Mom," Li Lili said quickly, trying to comfort Chen's mother, seeing her anxious expression.

"Yes," Mrs. Chen nodded in response to Li Lili.

Then Mrs. Chen pushed the door open and came in again...

"Long time no see," Chen's mother said in unison as she pushed open the door.

Chapter 136 Tears welling up in her eyes

When Chen's mother heard the voices, she instinctively covered her mouth, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Why are you all here so early?" Mrs. Chen said emotionally as she looked at her old classmates.

"Haha, no, we just arrived too," one of the students quickly replied.

“Yes, yes, we just arrived too. Don’t stand there, find a place to sit down.” Then one of the students said with a smile.

Just then, Chen's mother nodded vigorously and then immediately sat down.

"It's been so long since we last met! Everyone looks the same," Chen's mother said with a sigh after looking around at her old classmates.

“It’s not that nothing has changed. Look at us, aren’t we all getting old?” one of the students replied.

When Chen's mother and the other classmates heard what this classmate said, they couldn't help but laugh immediately, because they all felt that this classmate was really honest and what he said made a lot of sense.

"Haha, if that's how you put it, then I don't think I have anything to say in rebuttal." Just then, Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Right? After all these years, I'm still as humorous as ever," the classmate said with a smile.

However, at this moment, Li, a classmate who was on good terms with Chen's mother during their school days, asked, "Shufen, is this your daughter? She seems a little different from the one in the TV series. But she's still just as arrogant."

They weren't too unfamiliar with Chen Xiaoqi, Chen's mother's daughter, because they had heard of her after she became an actress.

"Haha, this isn't my daughter, it's my daughter-in-law. My daughter is already married." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen immediately said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so? I was wondering why it didn't seem like it. Haha, is this the photographer you mentioned?" Wang quickly chimed in.

“Yes, that’s because we rarely get to see each other, so we wanted to take a few more photos to remember the occasion,” Chen’s mother said with a smile.

After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, everyone nodded in agreement. Mrs. Chen had given prior notice, and no one really cared about it.

"Sure. You're so lucky to have such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law." Li continued, smiling.

Seeing this, Chen's mother glanced at Li Lili and then replied with a smile, "Haha, yes, she is indeed very sensible and filial, haha. By the way, this is Old Chen."

After finishing her speech, Mrs. Chen quickly introduced Mr. Chen.

"Yes, yes, we all know this person. We would have known even if you hadn't said anything." Then, seeing Li standing to the side, he quickly spoke up with a smile.

"Aside from getting older, nothing else has changed, huh?" Just then, Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen with a smile.

"Haha, time really doesn't show us any mercy. Look at all of us, haven't we all been worn down by time? We've all aged a lot," Li said with a laugh.

Just then, Liu said with a smile, "Yeah, that's right. But it's a good thing we had a class reunion this time, otherwise I really don't know if we would have had a chance to meet again."

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Shufen for organizing this class reunion, otherwise we probably would never have been able to join in this lifetime," Wang immediately chimed in.

"Actually, the reason I organized this class reunion was because of my own feelings. It's been so many years since we've all seen each other, and I was worried we wouldn't have the chance to meet again. So I thought, why don't we have a reunion? From the initial idea to the gradual planning and finally its implementation, it's been a long process. When I contacted everyone, I knew many of us were living in other cities, but when they heard I was having a reunion, they all immediately agreed without hesitation or excuses. There were a few who genuinely had other commitments, so we negotiated the timing, and finally, we were able to schedule the reunion for today. It's so wonderful to see everyone together for a meal. I'm truly grateful to everyone for coming." At this point, Mrs. Chen began her long speech…

As Chen's mother spoke, her eyes were still brimming with tears, glistening with tears.

"Yes, we are so grateful that everyone could come to this class reunion," Li, a classmate standing nearby, quickly chimed in.

At that moment, everyone's eyes began to well up with tears. Because of them, I was reminded of my own school days—truly the purest, happiest, and most memorable period of my youth.

"Haha, now that everyone has met, cheer up and stop crying." The male classmate next to them quickly began to comfort them.

But actually, the male classmate who offered them comfort had just wiped away his own tears...

"Yeah, yeah, everyone's cheering up now." Then, seeing Chen's mother wiping away her tears after hearing what her classmate said, she smiled and said.

"Okay, let's just talk about happy things today, no need to say anything else, haha." Wang, a classmate standing to the side, quickly spoke up with a smile.

Then I saw everyone laughing and joking again...

"Let's order first, everyone's here. We can start now." Then, seeing one of the classmates, he quickly spoke up with a smile.

Chapter 1 The Gathering in Progress

Upon hearing this, the students all nodded in agreement, and then began ordering food together...

A class reunion is still a class reunion; chatting is still much more important than eating.

Then Li Lili, who was standing to the side, smiled and whispered to Chen's mother, "Mom, let me tell you, the relationship between you classmates seems to be quite good."

"Haha, you mean this? Actually, you'll feel the same way when you're older. It's all the same," Mrs. Chen replied with a smile.

Then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, stared at Chen's mother in astonishment, and then quickly said with a smile, "Oh, is that so? Haha, but wait a minute, I'm already quite grown up, so why do you say I'm a little older?"

"You're still quite young compared to us, aren't you? That's why I said that." Just then, Chen's mother continued.

After hearing Chen's mother's explanation, Li Lili didn't know what to say, so she could only nod in agreement.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother spoke up with a smile, saying, "I don't really know how to explain it to you, but you'll understand what I'm trying to tell you when you're a little older. Haha."

"You mean in a few more years?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, immediately asked after hearing this.

Upon hearing Li Lili's question, Chen's mother first looked at Li Lili with surprise before smiling and saying, "Yes, that's right."

Seeing how Chen's mother answered the question, Li Lili immediately smiled and then said lightly, "Why are you taking it so seriously?"

"Well, isn't this the question you asked me? Honestly, I'm just giving you a proper answer, and you're still not happy about it?" At that moment, Chen's mother spoke up with a smile.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she noticed Mr. Chen turning to look at them and then quietly reminding them, "You old classmates are all chatting together, why are you two still whispering to each other? What's wrong? What are you saying?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, we just exchanged a few words," Mrs. Chen quickly replied.

Just then, Li Lili spoke up with a smile, saying, "Yeah, we just chatted for a bit. Nothing's wrong."

"Then you guys need to be mindful of the time. You've been chatting for quite a while now, and the other students are chatting together too," Mr. Chen immediately reminded them.

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, Mrs. Chen smiled and said to him, "How can you be so cute?"

"Huh? Did I? I don't think so," Mr. Chen said, somewhat surprised. He had been thinking that he was just talking about this, and now it suddenly seemed to have stopped. And the topic had shifted so quickly; the tone of the conversation had changed too abruptly.

"What's wrong? Did something surprise you?" Chen's mother asked, noticing Chen's father's surprised expression.

"Yes, I'm surprised. What's wrong? What are you up to now?" Just then, Mr. Chen asked with some doubt.

"Tch, can't you think of me in a good light? I didn't do anything, I didn't say anything, so why are you interrogating me like a criminal? It's really strange." After hearing this, Chen's mother replied with a feeling of grievance.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen looked quite aggrieved, Mr. Chen didn't know what to say for a moment, so he quickly said with a smile, "Okay, okay, forget I said anything. As long as you're happy. Hurry up and have your party, don't let me bother you."

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen with a puzzled expression, but she didn't say anything.

Then, we saw Chen's mother join in the students' conversation on this big topic.

"It's true that the older you get, the more you miss the old days. I remember there was a time when we really didn't want to go to Lao Pei's class. Later, our class monitor even went around giving us a pep talk and persuading us to go. Do you guys remember?" Wang said with a smile.

However, after Wang mentioned the class monitor, everyone started to feel uncomfortable.

Yes, the class monitor left very suddenly, and many classmates didn't know what happened. So for a moment, it felt like we were feeling sad all over again.

"Sigh, I don't really know what to say. It's just that I feel it's a real shame. We finally have a chance to meet, and not everyone's even here yet." At this moment, Wang, a student standing nearby, spoke up again…

"Yeah, not everyone's here yet. I feel really helpless. Everyone was fine, and then our class monitor just suddenly left. What's worse, none of us old classmates even knew. We couldn't even attend the class monitor's funeral. How can I feel good about this? I'm really not feeling well at all." Then, Li, who was standing next to him, started speaking even more emotionally.

Just then, Chen's mother spoke up, saying, "Yes, I never expected this either. I never imagined that when I inquired about everyone's information, I would find out this. It makes me very sad."

“Yeah, who would have thought that?” another student chimed in.

At this moment, everyone was lost in memories of their class monitor, and their mood began to sink.

"Excuse me, this is the last dish. All our dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal..." He then smiled and said as he saw the waiter approaching.

After hearing the waiter's voice, the students snapped out of their daze and began to smile at each other again...

Chapter 138 The Gathering in Progress 2

Just then, everyone seemed to quiet down and looked at the waiter, but no one said anything.

After the waiter approached, one of the male students spoke up, saying, "Since things have come to this, let's not be too sad anymore. After all, there's nothing we can do about it. All we can do now is help the class monitor's family. If they're facing any difficulties, we can all work together to help them through it. As for other issues, I just want to say that we must cherish the present. I hope that if any of us encounter misfortune in the future, we can all go and visit them, and offer our support. Of course, I know what I'm saying isn't very auspicious, so I'll punish myself with three drinks first."

Actually, everyone felt quite emotional while listening to this student speak, but what could they do? They still had no other options.

Then, seeing Chen's mother standing to the side, she quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Yes, we agreed that if anyone has any problems in their family, we'll let them know. When one is in trouble, everyone helps. How much more so for us old classmates and friends? If you have difficulties, who else would you turn to if you don't need us? Don't you agree?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Then it's settled then." Li quickly chimed in with a smile.
