Chapter 792: Chapter 792: Struggling to Hold On

The door to the room did not open again for a long time.

Lin Gantang couldn’t figure out why he was becoming more troublesome now. Each time the door closed, the words he uttered made her blush and feel flustered more than before; and the topics of discussion were even more…

Lin Gantang found it a bit hard to take.

When it came to marital intimacies, she had once been like a blank sheet of paper, with Wen Yanqing adding color stroke by stroke. He taught as much as he sketched, so even though they were married, some things or methods could still make her feel bashfully inexperienced.

After resting, Wen Yanqing received a phone call.

After listening, he said to Yi Qian to come over. Lin Gantang guessed that it must be some important business with the company, so when Yi Qian arrived and the two started talking, she did not go over to disturb them.

Her life with her family was now peaceful and happy, and Wen Yanqing’s health was gradually improving. Everything was moving in a good direction, leaving only the future of her good friend Qiuqiu as a concern.

As a friend across two lifetimes, Lin Gantang did not want Ye Qiuqiu to go through the same hardship and pain she had in a past life.

But Ye Qiuqiu had her pride; she would not accept Lin Gantang’s money. Just like last year, when Lin Gantang sent her some lobsters, Ye Qiuqiu was still thinking about sending some special product from H City in return.

Lin Gantang knew that if she pushed the money on her directly, it might come off as an act of patronizing charity.

Since Ye Qiuqiu had decided to buy a house, Lin Gantang thought of another way to help her.

She booted up her computer and searched for real estate listings in the urban area of H City where Qiuqiu’s family lived, filtering the information.

H City was developing, and though property prices were rising, they were not as outrageously high as in C City, and there were also many options. After some research, Lin Gantang settled on an under-construction property and took several screenshots of the information to send to Ye Qiuqiu.

[Have you looked into Bilun Garden? (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)]

Ye Qiuqiu sent a question mark and then asked, [What’s this for? Are you buying property?]

[It’s for you. It’s under construction and will be on sale next year. Aren’t you thinking of buying a house? Bilun Group is quite reliable, you can go for it.]

[I won’t have enough for a down payment by next year. Wedding, renovations, having a child, and hosting banquets have cost quite a bit.] Ye Qiuqiu said truthfully.

Lin Gantang told her, [I know someone at Bilun Group, and I’m aware of some inside information. Bilun is planning a big real estate promotion, which could lower the down payment even more. If you’re interested, I can get their senior executives to give you the lowest price directly.]

Ye Qiuqiu was a bit tempted, [An internal price down payment?]

[Yes, the Lin and Wen families have some influence in C City. He’ll give you that face.]

Lin Gantang understood her concerns and said, [Don’t worry about owing anyone a favor on your behalf. To me, it’s as simple as if you were buying a bag of fruit and dealing with the neighbors. I’m telling you about it today so you can think it over slowly, no rush.]

Ye Qiuqiu clicked on the images sent by Lin Gantang again, reviewing them several times. A house, of course, she wanted one; who wouldn’t wish for a nest for their small family?

[I’ll probably have to wait until next year to think about it, right now only Haobo has a job in the family, with high expenses and few sources of income, I don’t know how much I can save up by next year.] Ye Qiuqiu said, feeling helpless.

Lin Gantang joked, [I’ll loan you the money, why should the bank get a discount? Let me earn the interest. As friends, I’ll give you a discount on the interest rate.]

Ye Qiuqiu knew Lin Gantang wanted to help her, and after chuckling, she declined: [I’d take a loan of ten or twenty thousand from you, but hundreds of thousands, I can’t.]

With financial interests involved, Ye Qiuqiu feared their friendship might never be as pure again.

Lin Gantang was disappointed but had anticipated the refusal, teasingly said, [You’ve cut short my path to wealth while I lie back and collect money, ah, my heart aches.]
