The unexpected event of buying a house was also beyond expectation, especially the sudden appearance of Sutu Liuli. It was unthinkable for her. However, as she said, the real estate in Beijing is not dominated by the Sutu family alone, and there are other families, which she can choose from.

  Two days later, Ji Xiaoli shared her idea of opening a studio with Qi Xiaoguang. To her surprise, Qi Xiaoguang didn't think she was being too impulsive: "The idea is good, it's just that the initial stage will be a bit difficult, but it's not impossible to try."

  She and Ji Xiao Li were indeed not enemies who didn't gather together, the two people's temperaments and experiences were very similar, married into a wealthy family, but except for the relationship between husband and wife, when facing those elders again, it was even more embarrassing.

  "What are you thinking?"

  Qiao Xiaoguang sighed, "What can I do? Just the other day, his mother was scolding me in front of everyone... I'm not born to be a rich lady, but I'm still living off others. If it weren't for Zhao Wei's face, this life would really be unbearable."

  Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if you really want to get along well, it's simply impossible. The major problem of the Chinese nation since ancient times is even more so, let alone Old Lady Zhao who also comes from high society and looks down on a grassroots daughter-in-law which is normal.

  Anyone would have a sense of self-respect, not just Qiao Xiaoguang. She also has it. Although she hasn't met Qin Zhenyang's parents yet, she has an idea in her mind. With the previous joke, who knows how others look at themselves?

  She also has self-awareness.

  "Well, in that case, might as well give it a try... whether it goes well or not, at least I'll have done my part, and who knows, maybe something unexpected will happen."

  Qī Xiǎo Guāng patted her shoulder and smiled: "Alright! After all, I'm studying fashion design, so I can help out later... If it really works out, I'll be able to hold my head high when talking to the Zhao family!"

  Ji Xiaoli didn't think that all upper-class women were necessarily capable, except in social interactions and verbal sparring. If they really had to engage in business or politics, they might not be that impressive either... Although it's said that women are in charge of the inner courtyard, she was a grassroots person who let her interact with those noblewomen and famous ladies now, probably nobody would even give her a second glance.

  Looking at her eyes, I just think she is clinging to the big tree of the Qin family.

  So she was eager to prove herself, not just that... As a person who lacked a sense of security so much, she also hoped to achieve something earlier. Although there were over 4 million on the card, but if she bought a studio, recruited staff and decorated a clothing store, her funds would probably be depleted soon, so she still had to hurry up.

  "These two days my mother-in-law and others went to Europe for a trip, if there's anything on your side, I'm also free, let's do it together." Qi Xiaoguang was also someone who couldn't sit still, usually when Zhao Wei's mother was at home, she would always drag her along to see some noble ladies and then mock her.

  Now that the person is gone, Qi Xiaoguang feels completely relaxed... really hope Old Lady Zhao plays for a few more months before coming back.

  Ji Xiaoli nodded: "I'm going to look at houses this afternoon, if you're free, come and take a look together."

  Since Qinghu Garden is on the side of the Situ family's property, she didn't consider it. There are also several suites in Lanting Bay and Huayang Scenic Area, except that the location is a bit far from the city center, other aspects are also very advantageous.

  In the afternoon, Ji Xiao and Li were very satisfied with the layout of Lanting Bay. She didn't need a large area for the time being, after all, she had limited funds in her hands. However, when she went to register with her ID card, the manager stopped her.

  "Is it Miss Ji?"

  Ji Xiaoli felt a change in his attitude, which was inexplicable... Just now he was enthusiastic, but after seeing her name, his attitude changed immediately. Is it really okay to treat customers like enemies?

  That gentleman coughed twice and gave a sentence: "Miss Ji, the thing is... Hongguang Real Estate has already released the word, if someone in the industry sells you a house, it's against them... We just entered the mainland, so we don't dare to offend that side, so..."

  So it's simple, I won't sell you the house anymore, goodbye!

  Ji Xiaoli didn't think that Situ Qiongli would actually carry out those words thoroughly, not only did her own family stop selling the building, but also instigated other families to start freezing her out... This made Ji Xiaoli extremely angry, and she turned around and left Lanting immediately.

  "What's going on? There are still people who don't want to earn money that's within their grasp, are they brain damaged?"

  Isn't it just brain damage? Citrine not only has brain damage but also wants everyone to follow her and become brain damaged! It's really...

  She sighed, "It's Sutu Liuli's doing. I went to see Qinghu two days ago, the geographical location and environment are not bad, but they don't want to sell..."

  Qiao Xiaoguang sneered, "It must be your good sister playing tricks behind the scenes again. But as you said, can't all the real estate in Beijing be monopolized by his family? I don't think so!"

  The two of them went to the Huayang Scenic Area in silence, and later they also went to Jixiang Flower City. The mouths of the locals were all consistent... There are places that have land, but people don't dare to sell it.

  Ji Xiaoli seems to have figured it out, it turns out that even the real estate in the capital has not been bought up, but these few houses with good locations have all been bought up. Situ Liuli should know what kind of house type she needs, so she made arrangements with people and cut off her own retreat! This matter is indeed a bit tricky.

  "Why don't I go and greet Zhao Wei, although he's not in real estate, but he should have some connections in this line?" Seeing his good friend being cheated to this extent, Qi Xiaoguang was also very indignant.

  Ji Xiaoli waved her hand in a headache, "Wait a minute, let me think again... Didn't you say your family member was attending a meeting in Gangcheng? What if they're in the middle of the meeting when you call, I'll take another look to see if there's any other way."

  It was inexplicably set up, and it's hard to say what I'm thinking in my heart, but the pain is indeed real. Returned home in a gloomy mood, Qin Zhenyang had not returned yet.

  In the afternoon, she was so angry that she went straight upstairs and buried herself in her blanket. It's really unknown whether this is a bad start or not, just as soon as she had an idea, someone suppressed it at its bud, she didn't want such a result... But what's most important in this society is still power and influence, Si Tu Liu Li relies on her father's influence, but herself, has nothing.

  As I thought about it, I fell asleep in a daze. In a haze, I was pushed awake by someone, "Huh?"

  Qin Zhenyang looked at his little wife who was sleeping soundly and couldn't help but chuckle, "How can you sleep so early? If you still want to sleep, eat something first."

  It's not even seven o'clock yet, and dinner is already ready in the kitchen... As long as he is there, she will never think of skipping a meal.

  The reason is simple, the little girl looks weak and thin, usually likes to wear Korean version clothes, but loose clothes on her body, the more she shows off her thinness like a bamboo pole, although her figure is very good, it's another story.

  In his heart, he still hopes to fatten her up a bit, at least to be heavier than she is now.

  Ji Xiaoli rubbed her eyes wearily, yawned, and finally got out of bed. She looked like she was in a daze, but as soon as she caught the faint scent of tobacco on the man's body, her sensitive nose twitched: "You've been smoking?"

  It's rare to see him smoke, at least the two of them have been together for a while now, but she has never seen him smoke before, this is what makes her most satisfied.

  In the past when I was at home, Dad never smoked either. Even if someone gave him a gift of cigarettes, he would always give them away untouched in the end...

  "No, I just went out with someone for a gathering and got some smoke smell on me, but I did drink quite a bit of wine..." Qin Zhenyang didn't have the habit of smoking, although the old man would occasionally take a few puffs, he himself hadn't had that thought since his time in the army.

  He is a man with great self-control, even if someone puts a cigarette in front of him, he won't touch it. After all, in the army, you can't break the rules, and after leaving the army, that idea has faded away.

  Ji Xiaoli only then noticed that although the man's face didn't change much, his eyes also had a few hints of intoxication. Upon closer sniffing, there was indeed a lingering smell of alcohol on the man's body.

  She got down from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face, then prepared to go downstairs for dinner, only to find that Qin Zhenyang was already sitting at the table, and she couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you just eat?"

  "The most drinking during social gatherings is liquor, and in that atmosphere, there's no thought of eating anything." Generally, men's social gatherings are conducted over cigarettes and liquor; if you really want to fill your belly, you still have to go home and eat again.

  Ji Xiaoli nodded slightly, and the two sat down to eat together in harmony. She wasn't in a good mood, so she didn't eat much, finishing only half a bowl of rice and drinking a little soup, eating even less than a cat would. Qin Zhenyang watched from the side, furrowing his brow involuntarily.

  "Is that all you're eating? No wonder you've always been so thin..." In Qin San's opinion, women should avoid eating too much at night, but his little wife was a different story - she needed to gain weight. If she stayed this thin, there would be nothing left to hold onto.

  Ji Xiaoli smiled and said, "I don't have much of an appetite today, maybe it's because of the heat..."

  It's hot, but after a rain shower, the weather in Beijing has cooled down a lot. This is absolutely no excuse, Qin Zhenyang narrowed his eyes.

  "Something on your mind?"

  Ji Xiaoli didn't plan to hide it from him either, after all, opening a studio wasn't something she had just thought of overnight, so he would find out sooner or later. She had already learned her lesson the last time, and this time she naturally didn't dare to hide it again.

  "Wait until you finish your meal, then I'll talk to you slowly."

  "En." Qin San nodded, he learned from Wang Da Tou that she made some money in the stock market, logically speaking, she should be happy, why was she so depressed.

  But after thinking about it, he was hungry for an entire afternoon and his stomach was empty. Qin San Yei finished three bowls of rice in one breath, while Ji Xiao Li stared at him with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

  She had long known Qin Zhenyang's appetite and should have been used to it, but every time she saw him adding food from time to time, that full bowl of rice would be scraped clean in no time, she always felt a kind of unspeakable surprise.

  Is every soldier's meal this good?

  One breath three bowls of rice are absolutely talented! The dishes were not eaten much, but the white rice was solid. If Qin Zhenyang knew her inner doubts, he would definitely make fun of it, not every soldier's appetite is so good, but many times strength and appetite are linked, in direct proportion.

  He has such good physical strength, on the one hand it's due to training... and training must consume physical strength, so he eats a lot too.

  Normal!

  After watching Qin San Ye finish three bowls of rice, he drank another bowl of soup before stopping. After wiping his mouth clean, Qin Zhenyang finally left the dinner table with a full and satisfied heart.

  "I'll go back to the kitchen and make you another bowl of sweet congee... what you ate earlier doesn't even count as a dessert after dinner, you must be starving at night." He remembered that she didn't like things with too strong of a milky flavor, but she did like sweet congee and sweet pastries.

  Ji Xiaoli didn't feel like eating anything today, her stomach wasn't hungry at all. She just went through the motions for dinner and shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

  "Are you sure?" Qin Zhenyang sat with his legs wrapped around him, and that implication couldn't be any clearer.

  Even if you're not hungry, once you've exercised, it's strange if you don't feel hungry afterwards!

  Ji Xiaoli glared at him angrily: "I'm just not hungry!"

  Qin Zhenyang reached out and gently scratched her delicate nose, his thin lips pursed as he said, "Tell me, what happened today that got our little lady upset?"

  Who dares to bully their little girl will absolutely stir up big trouble!
