48 The Coldness and Warmth of Human Nature

“I’m sorry, I have an emergency.”

“Excuse me.”

“We’ll add each other on WeChat in the future, in the future.”

…

As Chen Yun explained, he walked forward. Only when he walked out of the school gate did he see Auntie Song and Wang Yuanyuan, who was beside her.

“Auntie Song, Yuanyuan, sorry to keep you waiting.” Chen Yun greeted them.

Even Auntie Song was stunned.

“Are… are you Xiao Yun? Aiya, I didn’t recognize you before you spoke. I’ve been busy recently and haven’t seen you in a long time. I didn’t expect you to lose so much weight. Alright, you look good after losing weight.” Auntie Song couldn’t stop smiling.

Even Wang Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up.

This set of clothes was too suitable for Chen Yun. Or rather, it was tailor-made for Chen Yun.

Coupled with Chen Yun’s face, his entire disposition suddenly improved. If she didn’t know Chen Yun’s family background and how poor he used to be, she would really think that he was the young master of a wealthy family.

Actually, she had not guessed wrong. This was a suit that Chen Yun had specially customized for an important occasion.

One set cost 800,000 yuan!

He had hired a famous European designer to customize it. There was only one piece in the world. He would not encounter a situation where he wore the same outfit as someone else.

“You’re clearly not capable, and you’re still dressed like this in school.” Wang Yuanyuan glanced at Chen Yun and snorted. She did not have a good impression of Chen Yun to begin with, and she resisted her mother’s intention to let them interact more. In addition, Chen Yun’s family matters and the fact that she had waited for so long made her only greet Chen Yun before turning around and getting into the car.

“Xiao Yun, get in the car quickly.” Auntie Song pulled Chen Yun into the car.

Chen Yun sat in the back and looked at the woman in the driver’s seat. He was still extremely grateful.

Ever since he went to university, Auntie Song had been taking care of him.

“It just so happens that Uncle is also at home today, and I also managed to get an off day in time. Since we don’t have anything to do, we just gathered together. We didn’t delay your matters, right?” Auntie Song asked.

“No, Auntie Song. Thank you for your trouble.” Chen Yun smiled.

“Mom, I still have something to do in the afternoon. Can you let me go?” Wang Yuanyuan turned around and said when she heard her mother’s words.

Auntie Song pinched Wang Yuanyuan’s leg and shut her up. Then, she looked at Chen Yun. “Child, why are you being so polite with me? Your mother and I grew up together. Since you came to Jiang City, how can I not take care of you?”

“By the way, Xiao Yun, since you don’t have anything to do in the afternoon, go out to play with Yuanyuan. She said that she wants to go to the fighting fitness club. I’ll be at ease if you accompany her.”

“Alright.” Chen Yun nodded. Although he was quite helpless towards Wang Yuanyuan and knew that she did not have a good impression of him, she was Auntie Song’s child after all. They had to have a passable relationship on the surface.

However, if one asked them to become close friends, then forget it. He could not afford to offend such a princess-like young lady.

The car crossed the bridge and headed north.

Wang Yuanyuan rolled down the car window and looked outside. “Mom, look at the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion. It’s really beautiful.”

“Every time we drive past this place, you’ll look at it. I don’t have the ability to buy it for you in my life. If you’re capable, buy it yourself. If possible, let me live in it. I want to see such a high-end neighborhood too.” Auntie Song teased Wang Yuanyuan.

However, there was also yearning and envy in her eyes.

After all, that was the most luxurious neighborhood in Jiang City or even the entire Jiangbei.

Any one villa cost tens of millions. Legend had it that a few of the buildings were worth nearly a billion yuan!

Only the high-ranking officials and nobles of Jiang City were qualified to live there. In fact, they were the highest-ranking officials and nobles!

When Wang Yuanyuan heard this, she shrugged. It was easier said than done to live here. Among the boys she knew, although their families were not bad, it was still a fantasy to buy a house in the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion.

From time to time, she would joke with her best friend. If anyone had a house in the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion, she would definitely stick to them.

There was no need to comment on her materialism. After all, the current society was like this.

If there was no love, it could be nurtured slowly. However, if one didn’t have material wealth, when love dissipated, there would really be nothing.

“Auntie Song, when I buy a house here, I’ll let you and my mother move in.” Chen Yun looked at the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion and chuckled.

“Alright, Xiao Yun. If you earn money in the future, be sure to bring your mother over.”

At the side, Wang Yuanyuan could not help but purse her lips when she heard Chen Yun’s words. He was from the suburban area and did not have any connections. Yet, he wanted to buy a villa in the Imperial Dragon Heaven Pavilion?

He should work hard for a house in Jiang City first.

“I originally thought that he was a simple and slow person. I didn’t expect him to like to brag now. Such a person is hopeless.” Wang Yuanyuan shook her head and put on her earphones alone to listen to songs.

When they arrived at the district, Chen Yun looked at this district. The layout was simple and elegant. It could be considered a school district. He had previously heard that a square meter here cost close to 40,000 yuan.

To Chen Yun back then, it was simply an astronomical price. However, it was not much now. After all, he had investments worth a billion yuan. A billion yuan was enough to buy a few buildings here!

After entering the house, he saw that Auntie Song’s house was decorated in a classic European style. When he entered, he felt a gentle light shining on her body.

In the living room opposite them, a middle-aged man was reading a report on the sofa.

He was Wang Yuanyuan’s father, Wang Qing.

When the middle-aged man saw Chen Yun, he looked up slightly. “You’re here?”

“Hello, Uncle Wang.”

“Xiao Yun, go watch TV for a while. I’ll go cook. I’ll be done in a while.” Auntie Song looked at Wang Yuanyuan, who was about to leave, and grabbed her. “Yuanyuan, go and watch TV with Xiao Yun. We have a guest over. Why don’t you know anything?”

Wang Yuanyuan sighed and pouted. “Alright, alright, alright. I understand.”

After Chen Yun sat down, Wang Yuanyuan still poured tea for him. She took some dried fruits, made a fruit plate, and placed it in front of him. “Chen Yun, eat some fruits. I’ll prepare more after you’re done.”

Like Chen Yun, she had to at least live up to her reputation.

It was a matter of pride, but she was helpless.

“Alright, thank you.” Chen Yun nodded.

On the other side, Wang Qing finished reading the report and tidied up before turning around to observe Chen Yun. “How have your parents been recently?”

“It’s alright. They’re preparing to resign recently and are doing some business at home,” replied Chen Yun.

“Yes, even at this age, we have to buy and sell to earn money.”

Chen Yun said humbly, “My parents don’t do big business either. They can’t compare to Auntie Song at all. She has dozens of subordinates and her career is improving day by day.”

Wang Qing looked at Chen Yun and shook his head. He also knew what his wife meant, but the two sides were not compatible. The other party was only from a small county, and his family background was average.

Moreover, he was now at the department level and his wife earned hundreds of thousands of yuan every year. They were both famous figures. No matter what, it was impossible for both sides to get along.

The difference was too great.
