Chapter 88: She Also Wants to Ruin Si Rong's Engagement Banquet

In fact, since a few years ago, when Huaiyang began developing residential districts, housing prices started to rise.

Especially last year, when everyone originally thought that housing prices had reached such a level that they should fall.

Si Rong had originally guessed the same.

If she hadn't received the Future Phone, she certainly wouldn't have used all her savings to buy houses.

After the New Year, housing prices saw another big surge.

The price of the commercial storefronts she bought had already risen from 1,100 yuan to 2,500 yuan per square meter!

It was simply unbelievable!

"Housing prices should have reached their peak by now," Ming Zi did not think real estate had any investment value, "If they rise any further, it will be terrifying."

Could houses really be like commodities, rising higher and higher?

"I think they will still rise," Si Rong thought of the savings Jiang Cheng had given her, "I plan to buy a few more commercial storefronts."

After the Reform and Opening-up, the economy developed rapidly, and people had higher pursuits for their lives.

Not just basic water and electricity facilities, but a complete range of home appliances also gradually became an indispensable part of people's lives.

The old, dilapidated houses from before that could only shelter one from the wind and rain could no longer satisfy people's needs.

Therefore, it is possible that housing prices will continue to rise.

She felt that commercial housing was a relatively good investment direction.

Because Huaiyang has started to pay attention to urban beautification, small vendors are not allowed to set up stalls, so they must open shops.

Then commercial storefronts will definitely rise faster than houses.

The first floors of the other two commercial storefronts she bought are both ready to be rented out to collect rent.

In the future, if she buys enough houses, just collecting rent every year will be a large income.

"Where did you get the money to buy houses?"

Ming Zi was very clear about her good friend's financial situation.

"Could it be the bride price Jiang Cheng gave you?"

Ming Zi felt her guess was very reasonable, "He belongs to the Haiyu Air Force; his salary is so high, he must have saved a lot of money for you over these years."

"He said it wasn't a bride price, it was his savings."

Using Jiang Cheng's money to buy a house still required discussing it with Jiang Cheng, and writing both their names on it.

"Savings? He handed over his savings before you're even engaged?" Ming Zi clicked her tongue.

"I think the savings he wants to hand over aren't just this kind, right?"

Si Rong:...

"Miss Ming, please be mindful of your current status as a widow and do not talk nonsense."

"You don't know about this; this widow still has charm, and this is the best age for a woman."

Ming Zi thought for a moment; actually, Si Rong rarely urged her to do anything, and she did have some spare money on hand for buying a house, "Let me know when you buy a house, and we'll be neighbors again."

"Okay."

Si Rong planned to discuss it with Jiang Cheng and then go look at houses.

Besides, with the engagement approaching, she should also go look at engagement dresses.

"By the way, a new wedding photography studio just opened at the head of our Zhangshu Street; aren't you and your fiancé going to take wedding photos?"

Ming Zi's words reminded Si Rong.

When she married Shen Lan over a decade ago, it wasn't popular to take wedding photos, and now that it is popular, she is already on her second marriage.

"This, I don't know."

Si Rong truly didn't know; she was on her second marriage and shouldn't make so many demands.

Moreover, a happy marriage has nothing to do with these formalities.

Jiang Cheng had just returned home when he saw his Nainai staring at him with a gloomy expression.

"That woman you're about to marry is really not a good thing!"

Jiang Cheng's brows and eyes instantly flooded with coldness, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Grandma Jiang:...

"You unfilial thing! You can't compare to any of your cousins! I won't leave; that vixen you're marrying had the police arrest Cuilan and put her in jail. You hurry up and have someone release Cuilan!"

Hu Qian, standing to the side, nearly laughed out loud.

Si Rong was worthy of being the daughter-in-law who caught her eye; well done!

Good thing she was locked up!

It saves her from coming out and causing trouble.

"Are you trying to accompany her?" Jiang Cheng entered the room and took a sip of water, "Then I can go to the police station, find some comrades-in-arms, and let you go in to accompany her."

This actually gave the old lady a fright.

"You dare!"

"Want to try?" After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he instructed his silent father, "Hurry up and send Nainai back to the hometown! Otherwise, I'm afraid I might do something very unfilial."

After saying this, he went out; that woman had even caused a scene at the police station when she went to find Si Rong, so she must have been very excessive.

He wondered if Rongrong was angry.

When a woman is angry, she must be coaxed.

This was one of the few romantic experiences he had learned from his sister's successive husbands.

Thus, on the way to see Si Rong, he took a detour to the Baihuo Shangchang.

He came out clutching a small box.

Si Rong was wearing her dance outfit; she had just finished guiding a student through a movement when she heard the newly hired teacher, Xiao Tao, call out to her, "Teacher Si, someone is looking for you."

Jiang Cheng stood at the doorway; the man was wearing a simple white trench coat today, and his cold, stern brows and eyes held a smile as he looked at her.

Si Rong walked toward him involuntarily.

The moment she drew near, the man took off the trench coat he was wearing and draped it over her shoulders.

Then, he handed the box he was holding in his hands to her, "A gift."

Si Rong was completely bewildered; it wasn't a holiday or a festival, so why was he suddenly giving her a gift?

Jiang Cheng began to explain in a low voice; his voice was low, hoarse, and mellow, very pleasant to hear, "Zhang Cuilan was brought here by my Nainai to cause trouble; I have had no contact with her whatsoever."

"I believe you."

Si Rong smiled faintly; so he was giving a gift because of this matter.

She was actually a bit curious about what kind of gift Jiang Cheng would give her.

"Are you still cold?"

Jiang Cheng asked, then tentatively and lightly grasped Si Rong's hand; it was icy cold and very soft.

Si Rong shook her head.

After succeeding, Jiang Cheng held Si Rong's small hand and did not let go.

"By the way, I saw a wedding photography studio opened on the street; after the engagement, would you like to take wedding photos?"

When asking this, although Jiang Cheng didn't have any particular expression on his face, he was extremely nervous inside.

Si Rong was a bit surprised; she tilted her head and asked him, "Do you want to take them?"

It seemed he hadn't expected Si Rong to ask him back, so Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment before saying, "I do."

He truly wanted to.

To possess a wedding photo with Si Rong, with only the two of them in it in the whole world.

"Then we shall take them."

With the engagement approaching, Si Rong paused her driving lessons to try on her engagement qipao; her parents were responsible for notifying relatives and friends, while she was responsible for notifying her own classmates and close friends.

She was a person who warmed up slowly; over these years, her only intimate friend was Ming Zi.

As for the other one, it was better not to mention her.

Li Xuan learned the news of Si Rong's engagement from Cui Lili.

She hadn't expected her to move so quickly; she said she would get engaged, and so she did.

It seemed that her previous feelings for Shen Lan and her care for the two children were all fake.

Otherwise, how could she have let go so quickly?

These days, the household was in chaos, and Li Xuan had become much more haggard.

Her daughter insisted on giving birth to a bastard of unknown origin, and she and Shen Lan were arguing endlessly because of this matter.

"Si Rong is going to get engaged to Jiang Cheng!"

Li Xuan deliberately told this news to Shen Lan.

To save him from being absent-minded all day long.

After hearing this, Shen Lan didn't say a word and slammed the door as he returned to the bedroom.

Li Xuan sneered, then picked up a mirror to check her own state.

Why?

Why did Si Rong ruin her engagement banquet, cause her to become the laughingstock of Huaiyang, and now still want to have a happy engagement?

She would also ruin Si Rong's engagement banquet.

Very quickly, Li Xuan thought of a good method; she would also hire an actor to liven things up.
