He Nan’s efficiency in handling things has to be mentioned—it really was very fast. Within just half a month, he found someone to buy the Gu Family’s house, and the price was much lower than she had originally estimated, costing only twenty thousand yuan.
Shen Mianmian was very happy, first for acquiring the house and second for not letting the Gu Family’s members take advantage of her.
On the day of the transfer, Shen Mianmian finally met the person He Nan had found to buy the house—a man in his forties with a very regular appearance. Although he was over forty, his body hadn’t gained any excess weight. Seeing that the buyer was a young girl, he pulled He Nan aside and said, "He Nan, you sold this house to this young girl?"
Helping He Nan buy a house had no impact on him, and he was happy to help, but seeing that He Nan was transferring the house to Shen Mianmian’s name, he thought that Shen Mianmian had unknowingly bought the house from He Nan.
Understanding his concern, He Nan said indifferently, "Don’t worry, she knows about the house. Though she is young, ordinary people can’t fool her." Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
This remark was a high praise for Shen Mianmian.
It was the first time the man saw He Nan evaluating someone , and he couldn’t help but become curious about Shen Mianmian.
The house transfer went very smoothly, and the moment the transfer was complete, Shen Mianmian was so excited she nearly jumped up. Whether she lived in it or sold it, she had finally bought her first house in her life with her own efforts.
She suggested treating them to a meal, and He Nan didn’t refuse, but after they ate, it was He Nan who picked up the check.
Time flew by day by day, and before she knew it, another year had passed. Shen Mianmian didn’t know her own birthday; Shen Jianhua had always used the day he found her as her birth date.
From the moment Shen Mianmian knew her identity, she no longer believed in that birthday. Hence, she stopped caring about birthdays altogether and stuck to the logic that you get one year older every New Year.
This year, she had originally thought she would be celebrating New Year’s with He Nan, but unexpectedly, on the eve of New Year’s, she received a call from Beijing, saying that He Nan’s grandfather was hospitalized, and He Nan went back to Beijing.
However, Shen Mianmian wasn’t alone; she spent the New Year’s at Li Julin’s home.
Lu Siyuan had originally said that he would return for the New Year, but coincidentally, the day before he planned to come back, Lu Yun fell down the stairs and had to rest in bed for over a month. So, Lu Siyuan had no choice but to stay in Beijing to take care of her.
Because of this, Lu Siyuan complained for two whole pages in his letter.
On the sixth day of the New Year, Shen Mianmian got up bright and early, cooked herself a hearty egg and pork slice porridge, and after eating her fill, she went to clean He Nan’s house once more. Just as she was about to leave, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Big Brother He? You’re back?" Seeing He Nan’s figure standing at the door, Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up.
She didn’t know when it had started, but realizing Big Brother He wasn’t home, she felt a hollow emptiness in her heart, as if she was missing something. She knew she was deeply caught up, often using studying as a distraction. However, at the sight of him, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably curled up.
Before He Nan could answer, someone suddenly rushed out from behind him, "Why are you in Nan’s house?"
"Miss Cheng." Shen Mianmian blinked her eyes, had the two of them confirmed their relationship? Had Big Brother He brought Miss Cheng home? "I saw that Big Brother He hadn’t been home for a long time, so I helped him tidy up a bit."
"For cleaning, you could just hire a maid. What good are you selling here?" Cheng Xining glared furiously at Shen Mianmian. It had only been a year since they last saw each other, and this young girl had become even prettier, and now she was even in Nan’s house.
