Chapter 860: Chapter 859: Buy It (Added for Alliance Hierarch L i b r a the Soothsayer!) Chapter 860: Chapter 859: Buy It (Added for Alliance Hierarch L i b r a the Soothsayer!) Professor Li and Chen Suhua were both pleasantly surprised by Jiang Feng’s arrival. The couple had no children of their own. Chen Suhua had been distressed by this fact in earlier years, whereas Professor Li, having experienced upheavals from a young age, adopted a more accepting attitude towards their situation.
Primarily, there wasn’t much choice for them as dical treatnt for infertility was undeveloped in those years.
Over the years, Professor Li and Chen Suhua had always treated the students ntored by Professor Li as their own kin. Though strict with their academic work, Professor Li was famously kind to his students outside of the classroom. Consequently, even after leaving UAL University for Beiping, students who settled or visited Beiping often ca by to pay a visit.
As both a student and a blood-relative of Professor Li, Jiang Feng shared a closer bond with them than others did. When both families initially moved to Beiping, they visited and interacted quite frequently. They even spent festive occasions like Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival together. Jiang Feng would occasionally drop by to deliver a al or send a disciple to cook for Da Hua when he couldn’t make it himself.
Latterly, due to various reasons, their visits beca less frequent. After all, the Jiang Family’s rented house and Li Mansion were sowhat distanced, inconvenient without a car, and troubleso with one, especially for parking.
Chen Suhua and Professor Li were very happy about Jiang Feng’s invitation to watch the finals next Saturday, and they readily agreed to attend. Chen Suhua even had Jiang Feng stay for dinner at Li Mansion. The three of them chatted until late, and it was almost nine o’clock when Jiang Feng left.
After Jiang Feng left, as Chen Suhua tidied up the table, she sighed, “Li, after all these years, watching your students settle down and start families didn’t affect much, but these past two years, looking after Feng really felt like raising a child for the first ti for .”
Professor Li, previously engaged with his smartphone, perked up at her words, put down his phone, and adjusted his glasses before asking, “How so? What made you feel that way about Feng?”
“Before, he visited often, about three or four tis a week. This year, as he beca busier with his career, which has been prospering, he hasn’t visited as frequently. Sotis, we don’t see him for two or three weeks, and even if we go to Taifeng Building for a al, we don’t see him. Doesn’t it feel just like raising a child? While I’m happy for his success, I’m also sad that he doesn’t have ti to visit.”
“Now that you ntion it, it does seem quite similar,” Professor Li responded with a laugh, his eyes reflecting more contemplation, “However, our hos are indeed too far apart, and a half-hour’s drive really isn’t convenient for visits.”
“Exactly, I told you before, wouldn’t it be better if we lived in the sa neighborhood as Feng’s?”
“Of course living in the sa neighborhood wouldn’t be a problem, but can you really get used to living in an apartnt? You never got used to the apartnt buildings in Alan City after so many years. Besides, you can’t garden or keep Da Hua; if we really move to the sa neighborhood as Feng’s, where would you keep Da Hua? They wouldn’t allow it,” Professor Li began to dampen her enthusiasm.
Chen Suhua sighed as she looked at the several hundred pounds of Da Hua.
“But your point does make sense, both our families living next door would indeed make things much more convenient.”
“Right? It’s just too inconvenient being far. During the hot days, Lanhua even cos over to play mahjong with . Now that it’s cold, Lanhua doesn’t want to move. It was the sa last year. Once it got cold, she stopped coming over to play cards. If our families lived next door, we could play cards together every day.”
Professor Li: ?
“If I’m not mistaken, isn’t there a house behind us on sale?” Professor Li said.
“You an the one that’s been unoccupied for years?” Chen Suhua recognized which house Professor Li was referring to, “I’ve also heard, it seems to be for sale. Soone ntioned yesterday—their owner, Mr. Lu, who has been abroad for years. It seems he ca back to the country to dispose of all his dostic real estate. However, I heard their house isn’t cheap at all. The furniture, being quite luxurious, is apparently listed for over eight billion yuan.”
As she spoke, Chen Suhua seed to grasp what Professor Li was considering.
“Li, you wouldn’t be planning to…”
“I rember that mansion is rather large.”
“It is quite large,” Chen Suhua nodded, “A standard three-section mansion, quite similar to ours, and they haven’t altered the layout either. It should be enough for Feng and his family.”
“Tomorrow, I’ll have our agent contact their agent to see if we can negotiate the price down.”
Chen Suhua didn’t object but hesitated, “Even if you buy it, they probably won’t accept it. Their father initially wanted to gift them Taifeng Building, and they refused. Having not settled the paynts now, they definitely won’t accept.”
“I’m not talking about gifting it. If I buy it, we’ll do a complete renovation, rewire everything. That mansion has been empty for so many years; it definitely needs renovation. We can rent it out through a third party,” Professor Li smiled, “We’ll hold off for a couple of years until they’ve settled their debts before renting it out. We’re not in a rush.”
“That sounds good.” Chen Suhua went out to take out the trash.
Jiang Feng had no idea that his casual visit would lead Professor Li to contemplate buying Mr. Lu’s mansion, nor could he envision a future potential of living next to the professor.
At ho, Jiang Feng studied the two new mories he had acquired.
He thought it best to look at these mories right away.
The mory from Yonghe House was surely related to Tan Family Cuisine, if not related to Peng Changping or Cao Guixiang, then perhaps to both. It would definitely be a precious mory.
Even without detailed recipes, just observing the mory could teach him a lot.
The ga, now at the approaching finals, was freely distributing precious mories with unique skills, almost like urging him to learn quickly.
But a mory and mory fragnts were different.
From Jiang Feng’s extensive experience with mories, a full mory had a strong narrative and was a complete story, whereas a mory fragnt was rely a vivid impression, needing the rest of the story to be imagined.
Human mory fragnts were already unreliable, let alone those from a restaurant.
If the mory fragnt from Yonghe House were of the ti it caught fire, etched in its mory due to the intense pain, it would allow Jiang Feng to experience being burned alive, leaving him at a loss for words.
After much hesitation, Jiang Feng still opened the mory fragnt titled “A mory Fragnt from Yonghe House.”
The choice was made.
Why not take a look, there’s no harm in just looking.
There’s no sense of pain in mories anyway, so if it’s being burned, then so be it.
A foggy scene ensued.
