After Divorce: Why My Aloof Ex Starts Chasing Me?

Chapter 328 - 238: Paying for a Lesson Learned

Shi Yu came to Beijing again, and Shen Qingqing drove to the train station to pick her up.

She came along with Little Sister Chen, each bringing one child.

Shi Yu had her second child.

The first one was already in primary school, while the second was still a bit dazed, just barely walking steadily.

Seeing how skillfully Shen Qingqing drove, Shi Yu exclaimed, "I need to buy a car too, it’ll be convenient to go anywhere."

Shen Qingqing also found it convenient, "You can just drive yourself wherever you want to go, much freer than before."

Shi Yu teased, "Mr. Jiang must be very disappointed; he used to have to drive you around."

"Doesn’t matter if he’s disappointed or not, as long as I’m comfortable."

"That makes sense."

Shen Qingqing asked her, "Want to rest at a restaurant first?"

Shi Yu checked the time, "No need to rest, we took a sleeper train, had enough sleep, let’s go directly for a meal."

After a pause, she asked, "Aren’t Xiao Man and Xiao Xi going to kindergarten today? How about we bring them and Aunt Jiang out for dinner tomorrow night, what do you think?"

Shen Qingqing wasn’t busy lately and had time after work.

"Sure, I’ll follow your lead."

Then she asked Shi Yu, "Any plans for tomorrow during the day?"

"Going to look at houses."

"Hmm?"

Shi Yu laughed, "I’ve saved some money doing business over the years, I already bought a house in the Northwest, thinking carefully, I should buy two in Beijing too, so if Big Treasure and Little Treasure come here for school in the future, they have a place to stay, and when they get married, they won’t have to worry about houses."

"At worst, in a few years, I’ll come to Beijing for business, and I can live there myself."

Shi Yu has always had this idea, but she’s now with family, so it’s inconvenient to go anywhere.

She can only temporarily shelve the idea of doing business in Beijing.

Although Chen Shaojie is very supportive of her, and her parents-in-law are also willing to come to Beijing to help with the kids.

But Shi Yu just can’t make up her mind.

She’s not afraid of the hardships of doing business, she just can’t bear to leave Chen Shaojie.

He’s all alone in the Northwest, how pitiful it is.

Balancing family and career isn’t that easy.

Shi Yu now earns enough money, but she hasn’t forgotten her original intention.

She wants to live well with Chen Shaojie.

Wants their family to be together.

Shen Qingqing commented, "You’ve really thought far ahead."

"With two sons, how can I not think far ahead, if they don’t even have a place to stay, how will they get married later?"

"That makes sense."

For young people wanting to get married, the housing problem is the primary issue.

Things are different now; everyone has higher expectations.

It’s good for a small family to have their own house.

Shen Qingqing has already bought two courtyard houses, planning to give one to her son and one to her daughter.

She’ll stay with her parents-in-law in the main compound, or live in the house provided by the school.

Those two courtyard houses are reserved for the kids.

Shi Yu: "You’re going to be a mother-in-law in the future too, you should understand how I feel."

Shen Qingqing was a little embarrassed, she hadn’t thought about that issue yet.

"Grandchildren have their own blessings, maybe when they grow up and start working, they might be allocated a house, or they’ll buy one themselves, and might not even want the houses we prepared in advance."

Shi Yu looked understanding, "You just won’t admit it, if you’re really not thinking about the kids, why’d you buy the courtyard houses?"

Those close to good are good, those close to bad are bad.

Shi Yu feels that Shen Qingqing has been influenced by Jiang Zhixun, even starting to say one thing and mean another.

Shen Qingqing: "Isn’t it because I’m afraid prices will go up in the future and won’t be able to afford them?"

Shi Yu shook her head, "If even you and Mr. Jiang can’t afford a house, then how are others supposed to live?"

"Buying now saves some money." Shen Qingqing said this way.

Although she doesn’t study economics, it doesn’t mean she has no foresight at all.

According to the current trend, if it continues to develop, prices will certainly rise.

As for how much they will rise, she can’t predict.

In any case, the earlier you buy, the better.

Shi Yu leaned close to Shen Qingqing, blinking, "Do you also think buying a house can earn money?"

Shen Qingqing looked profoundly mysterious, "You, someone doing business, have a longer vision than me, why are you asking me?"

"Isn’t it because you’re in Beijing, you encounter more fresh things and have keener insights?"

Shen Qingqing: "Just follow your heart, you can make your business so successful, you have your impressive qualities."

Shi Yu laughed, "You’ve learned to flatter people now too."

"I’m telling the truth, even my mother-in-law praises you for being amazing."

"When I see Auntie tomorrow, I’ve got to ask if you’re just flattering me."

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time, but weren’t unfamiliar at all, their relationship remained as good as before.

After chatting for a while, Shi Yu mentioned the real business, "I can’t come to Beijing for now, but my sister-in-law and her husband are coming, mainly to accompany her in exploring the market and see what’s suitable to do business in."

Shen Qingqing lamented, "Time flies, Little Sister Chen is capable on her own now."

Little Sister Chen had visited Beijing before.

She’s charming and sweet-talking, material for doing business.

Having gone through much over the years, she’s much more steady than before.

"Sister Qingqing, I might have to bother you often when I’m in Beijing in the future."

Shen Qingqing laughed, "That’s great, I have another companion to hang out with."

The Chen Family is really nice.

They handle things with propriety and speak with sense.

Shen Qingqing has a good impression of them, and if Little Sister Chen needs help, she will try her best to assist.

Shi Yu asked, "We’re going to look at houses tomorrow, do you have time to join us, you can buy two more and keep them, if prices go up in the future and you sell them, you can make a profit."

Shen Qingqing also wants to, but she doesn’t have that much spare money.

There are still two kids at home to support, so she needs to save emergency funds.

If she were alone, she’d definitely invest everything she had.

Noticing Shen Qingqing’s dilemma, Shi Yu said, "You can buy somewhere more remote, just treat it as an investment, if it profits, great, if not, just consider it a paid lesson, you won’t lose to the point of ruin."

Shen Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh.

"Can you stop making me laugh?"

Shi Yu really believed that, "I’m telling the truth, anyway, you’re not living there, so what if it’s remote, maybe one day it’ll develop and surprise you."

Investing means gains and losses.

Shi Yu has a good mindset.

She feels Shen Qingqing is also strong inside, even if she loses, she won’t be devastated.

That’s why she’s daring to give Shen Qingqing advice.

She wouldn’t say this to anyone else.

If they lost money and blamed it on her, wouldn’t she become a sinner?

Shen Qingqing held the steering wheel, "I’ll consider it more, mainly because I’m tight on money."

Shi Yu nodded, "Our money isn’t blown by the wind, indeed, it needs careful planning."

While talking, they reached their destination.

Shi Yu and the others booked a room, put down their luggage, and then went for a meal.

They had roast duck.

"Every day in the Northwest, I think about this flavor."

Shen Qingqing personally wrapped the roast duck for her, "Then eat more."

The friendship between the two made Little Sister Chen very envious.

Teacher Shen is intellectual and beautiful, with a great temper, she also wants to be friends with Teacher Shen!
