Shi i’s eyes trembled slightly, and she looked down at her hand being held in Tang Wu’s, laughing softly, "Probably, but there’s no chance of that now."
Jian Yun felt a bit sad, "Yeah."
"We’re here," Shi Lingyan reminded them.
Jian Yun saw the neighborhood and was clearly surprised, "You live here too?"
"Too?" Shi i was also surprised, "You live here as well?"
"We live in the back," Jian Yun said as she got out of the car, "Xiao Wu’s dad and I live in Building 2 in the back, it’s an apartnt allocated by our work unit."
The neighborhood was large, with building numbers reaching over thirty.
Shi i lived in Building 32.
Even though they were in the sa neighborhood, it would take at least twenty minutes to walk from one to the other; by car, one would have to cross two streets to encounter each other.
As Jian Yun spoke, she looked around, "This area was just built up a few years ago; it’s much newer than Building 2. When did you buy this place?"
"Last month, an existing ho," Shi i thought for a mont then told her the price.
Hearing the price, Jian Yun couldn’t help but remark with emotion, "Prices really have soared, haven’t they? The housing costs in Imperial City are several tis higher than in Yan City."
"That’s for sure. The country is becoming more and more developed now, the economic level is driving up consumption levels; all the increases are inevitable, especially since this is the capital," Shi i said, shaking her head with a smile, "Let’s go."
Jian Yun chuckled, "That’s true. My husband is still grateful that he bought a few small apartnts with his bonus decades ago. He sold two of them a few years back and made quite a profit."
Shi i’s eyes sparked with interest, "You sold your apartnts? Why? Are you short on cash?"
That shouldn’t be the case.
Tang Wu had been in the spotlight for many years; not to ntion her other assets, she owned two apartnts alone, and had several tens of millions in her safe. Naturally, the inheritance went to the direct relatives, and at that ti, she was not yet married to Shi Lingyan, so the direct relatives were only those from the Tang Family.
Where had all the money gone?
Jian Yun shook her head, "No, not short on cash. We just felt it was pointless to keep them. At that ti, Xiao Ming’s dad suggested we sell them. He said that the house prices were peaking, and with the devaluation of the Chinese Yuan, the prices wouldn’t increase by much, so it might as well be cashed in and invested in sothing else."
Shi i nodded.
Don’t be fooled by Tang Jingming’s simple looking deanor; Tang Jingming’s father was a shrewd man.
Tang Jingming’s mother, when idle, liked to buy so funds and watch the stock market. Although active duty military personnel couldn’t speculate in stocks, Tang Jingming’s uncle seldom ca ho throughout the year and could occasionally give his wife so pointers. Also, with Tang Jingming’s mother’s incredible luck, they had earned quite a bit over the past decade. With her husband often away and her son grown up, these were also the fundantal reasons for Tang Jingming’s mother to go out and have fun with a group of friends.
Jian Yun said with so regret, "It’s just that it’s being demolished this year. If we hadn’t sold it back then, the demolition compensation would have been even better now."
Shi i patted her shoulder, "It’s good that you sold it. It’s one less thing to worry about. Otherwise, dealing with tenants can be troubleso."
"That’s true," Jian Yun felt relieved, then suddenly paused, "How did you know we rented it out?"
"Isn’t buying a house for living in it? If you don’t live in it yourself, in a place like Imperial City, aren’t there always people looking to rent?" Shi i was already with Jian Yun and Shi Lingyan in the elevator, "By the way, is your husband at ho? Should we invite him over for dinner?"
