90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

Lin Luping returned home, holding her ID card, marriage certificate and household registration booklet tightly in her hands.

Her mother Jiang Cuifen followed behind her, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Although Lin Luping had made up her mind, she still had an instinctive fear in her heart. She was afraid of not having a house, which made her hesitate.

She stopped, turned around, and looked at her mother, her eyes flashing with complex emotions: "Mom, do you really want to do this?"

Seeing this, Jiang Cuifen sighed softly, walked forward and gently held Lin Luping's hand.

"Lu Ping, problems must be solved. Do you have any other solutions?"

Lin Luping couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes when she heard what her mother said.

"But, Mom, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a house in a few years." There was a hint of trembling in Lin Luping's voice. She was afraid of the unknown and the anxiety brought about by change.

Jiang Cuifen gently patted the back of Lin Luping's hand and comforted her, "Silly child, you have a father. Just get through this first!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives, and continued walking towards the agency.

We arrived at the sales center of a reputable real estate company located on Sanshimi Street in the town. Yao Yadong's commercial housing was developed and sold by this company.

As soon as she entered the door, the warm lighting and clean environment made Lin Luping feel a little relieved.

The middle-aged woman at the front desk smiled and politely asked about their needs.

Lin Luping took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and gently placed the documents on the table. Although her voice was soft but firm, she said, "We want to sell this house."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman at the front desk immediately became more enthusiastic. After quickly registering their information, she led the mother and daughter through the office area which was decorated in a simple yet stylish way, and came to the door of an office decorated with several abstract art paintings. She knocked gently on the door.

"Come in." A steady and powerful male voice came from inside.

After opening the door, the mother and daughter saw the boss of the agency company affiliated with the real estate development company - a man who looked to be about fifty years old, well-dressed, with sharp yet gentle eyes.

He sat behind the large desk, looked at them with a smile and motioned them to sit down.

The boss picked up the property ownership certificate and household registration booklet that Lin Luping handed over, looked through them carefully, then looked up and asked in a tone that was both professional and a little curious: "Ms. Lin, the house has a good location and a nice environment, and it's also a new property of our company. Why do you suddenly want to sell it?"

When Lin Luping heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She was a person who looked strong on the outside but was weak on the inside, with an extremely contradictory personality.

Feeling guilty, she stammered and didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Jiang Cuifen gently patted her hand and answered for her in a calm and steady tone, "Boss, to be honest, our family has recently encountered some financial difficulties and urgently needs some funds. Although this house is very good, we can't afford it right now. We hope to sell it as soon as possible to solve the current problem."

After listening to this, the boss nodded to show his understanding.

He looked at Lin Luping, a subtle sly glint in his eyes, but more of a calm assessment as a professional: "Ms. Lin, I understand your difficulties. However, since you have decided to sell the house, I have to be honest. Although the current market conditions are good, if you want to sell it quickly, you may have to make some concessions on the price."

The boss tried to lower the price. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to gauge the mother and daughter's bottom line. "Ms. Lin, Ms. Jiang, according to our preliminary assessment, the market value of this house is around 50,000. However, considering the current market uncertainties and our agency's service fees, I suggest you set the listing price at 48,000. This will ensure a quick sale while maximizing your profits."

Jiang Cuifen frowned upon hearing this and shook her head decisively, "Boss, you're asking too much! We've meticulously renovated this house, and it's in a prime location, close to schools, hospitals, and supermarkets. 50,000 is a conservative estimate. How could we possibly sell it for only 48,000?"

The boss smiled and explained calmly, "Ma'am, I understand your feelings, but you also know that the current market environment is very cautious. Buyers are very cautious. If the price is slightly higher, no one may be interested. Moreover, our agency needs to invest a lot of time and energy to promote this house. 48,000 is already a relatively reasonable price."

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was a little tense, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a well-proportioned, well-dressed middle-aged man walked in with a little girl who looked to be about ten years old and very pretty.

The man was Lin Luping's ex-husband, Xie Jianhua, and the girl was their daughter, Xie Yan.

As soon as Xie Jianhua entered the door, his eyes fell on Lin Luping and Jiang Cuifen. There was both surprise and embarrassment in his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't expect to meet his ex-wife and mother-in-law here.

Xie Yan, on the other hand, had a look of astonishment on her face.

We just said yesterday that we didn’t want to meet again, but we met again today.

"Lu Ping, Aunt Jiang, why are you here too?" There was a hint of surprise in Xie Jianhua's voice.

Lin Luping didn't expect to meet Xie Jianhua here. She was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure: "Oh, it's okay, we are planning to buy a house."

There was a hint of unnatural stiffness in Lin Luping's words. After the divorce, she wanted to appear in front of Xie Jianhua in the most decent way.

Jiang Cuifen stood aside, her eyes shifting back and forth between her daughter and her ex-son-in-law. Her expression was complicated, but she quickly adjusted herself and agreed, "Yes, Xiao Xie, we just happened to like the houses in this area and plan to take a look."

Hearing this, Xie Jianhua put on a polite yet slightly distant smile: "What a coincidence, I also brought Yanyan to see the house we bought."

As he spoke, he gently patted Xie Yan's shoulder, signaling her to say hello.

Xie Yan recovered from her initial shock and disgust, but still managed a smile, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Mom, hello grandma."

The atmosphere suddenly became delicate and subtle, and the conversation between the four people seemed to be separated by an invisible film, which was both familiar and strange.

Lin Luping tried hard to maintain her outward composure, but her heart was beating like a drum as she thought about how to end this encounter as quickly as possible. At the same time, she secretly regretted why she chose to come here today.

"Is that so?" Lin Luping tried to make her voice sound natural. "Since everyone is busy, we won't disturb you. We've already seen enough."

Seeing this, Jiang Cuifen quickly replied, "Yes, yes, we also happen to be going somewhere else to have a look. Xiao Xie, let's talk again when we have time."

Xie Jianhua nodded, a subtle hint of tenderness and apology flashing in his eyes: "Okay, then take care, and I'll contact you when you have time."

As Lin Luping and Jiang Cuifen turned and left, the door closed gently, isolating the four people in two worlds.

Xie Yan lowered her head and said nothing, her fingers unconsciously tangled around the corner of her clothes, while Xie Jianhua stared at the closed door, feeling mixed emotions.

"Dad, can Mom afford to buy a house?" Xie Yan finally spoke. She looked up at Xie Jianhua, her eyes full of confusion.

Xie Jianhua sighed softly, squatted down, and looked at his daughter gently: "Yan Yan, forgive others when you can. Let's not worry about your mother and your grandmother. We have nothing to do with them now."
