Seeing Qinghuan’s expression, Jian Ai couldn’t help but laugh.
Aside from Lin Yi, Xia Qinghuan disliked Jian Yiyi the most in this class.
Perhaps it was because the magnetic field between them was not right. Even if Jian Yiyi had never offended her, Xia Qinghuan never liked her.
“Aren’t you two going to sign up?” Jian Ai asked Guan Tao and Xia Qinghuan.
Xia Qinghuan sighed, then revealed a bitter smile. “I do want to participate, but I don’t have the time. I have to join the production team after school in the afternoon. Recently, I don’t even have time for the weekend.”
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. Although Qinghuan’s results were good, her priority now was to complete her first drama.
Guan Tao also had a bitter expression. “Forget about me. It would be a waste for me to go!”
In fact, Guan Tao really wanted to give it a try. After all, the temptation of bonus points for the college entrance examination was too great. However, Guan Tao was only good at certain subjects. Her Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry grades were not ideal. When she performed well, she could score above average, but most of the time, she was barely able to do so.
The reason why she always ranked among the top in every exam was because she relied on her full marks in Liberal Arts to pull up her grades. Although her Science results were not ideal, it was not too terrible.
Jian Ai and Guan Tao understood each other the best. Hearing her words, Jian Ai could not help but give her a comforting smile.
Guan Tao suddenly remembered something and clapped her hands. She looked at Jian Ai and said, “Oh right, Xiao Ai, I forgot to tell you. I bought a house!”
“You bought it?” Jian Ai was delighted. “Which place did you buy it?”
Uncle Wu had told Jian Ai’s family about the demolition, so naturally, since Jian Ai and Guan Tao grew up together and the two families had always been on good terms, Jian Ai told Guan Tao about the demolition of South City and asked her to tell her parents.
As for whether to buy it or not, that would be their decision.
But they really bought it!
“Zhonglou District!” Guan Tao said in a low voice, “At first, our family couldn’t fork out that much money. Moreover, my parents were not sure if the demolition matter was real or fake. But then, a while ago, my father went to Uncle Wu’s place to buy tofu. When there was no one around, he took the opportunity to ask. Uncle Wu didn’t hide anything and told my father everything. Only then did my father believe it.”
Hearing this, Jian Ai nodded. “After all, adults won’t believe the words between us children all at once, and it’s such a big deal. But you will earn money after buying a house. Once South City is demolished, the first thing that will rise in property prices will be the neighboring Zhonglou District. Uncle’s and Auntie’s decision is right!”
“That’s what Uncle Wu said as well!” Guan Tao continued, “So my father borrowed one hundred thousand yuan from my grandfather and second uncle. Together with our family’s savings, we bought a second-hand house that was more than eighty square meters in the middle of Zhonglou District. That’s more than one hundred thousand yuan!”
As soon as Jian Ai heard this, she made a mental calculation.
The property prices in Zhonglou District were not high, but if it was located in the center, it was not cheap either. Although it was a second-hand house, a hundred thousand yuan was not considered cheap, but it was not considered expensive either.
Xia Qinghuan had been to Jian Ai’s house in South City once. Even now, when she thought about it, she still felt that the place was unbelievably dilapidated. Hearing what the two of them said, Xia Qinghuan could not help but nod and agree, “That place in South City should be demolished. It’s simply affecting the city’s appearance!”
Seeing the serious expression on Xia Qinghuan’s face, Jian Ai and Guan Tao knew that this young miss had been traumatized by their last trip to South City. They couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh out loud!
