Xu Hui and Gao Hui were both panicked. They never expected that He Qiaoyun could find such a boyfriend.

Gao Hui snorted coldly, her words filled with contempt and disgust, "This man doesn't even mind that she's divorced!"

Xu Hui's voice was anxious, "What do we do now? She's really determined this time. The bank is pressing for repayment. Mom, do you have any money left...?"

Gao Hui's meager retirement pension had long been taken by him. If things continued like this, she would eventually lose her old, dilapidated apartment.

Xu Hui saw her standing there motionless, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Gao Hui stared at him for a long while, then said with a hint in her tone, "Was it because you neglected her before that she turned to other men? Women in their fifties are like wolves and tigers."

Xu Hui was slightly taken aback. "Mom, you mean..." He realized Gao Hui's implication, "Will this work?"

Gao Hui smiled and said, "Why do the latecomers surpass the former? Because the former don't fight or grab. If you want money, you have to use your skills to win her back. Women are emotional creatures. If you give her a piece of candy, she'll happily follow you. Besides, you've had a relationship for so many years. After sleeping with her, she'll understand."

Xu Hui started plotting, thinking that once he got his hands on He Qiaoyun's money, he would find a young and pretty girl to make up for it...

After returning home from the hospital, He Qiaoyun was completely exhausted and quickly took a relaxing shower.

I had intended to invite Feng Jiashu to dinner, but after a whole day of work, I was too exhausted to chat with him anymore, so I said I would invite him to dinner another day.

She wasn't in the mood to cook, so she ordered takeout.

While I was eating takeout, I suddenly received a text message from my landlord: "[Xiao He, good evening. I want to inform you of something. My daughter is coming back from abroad soon, so I'm not planning to rent out the apartment anymore. I'll give you a week to move out, is that okay?]"

Looking at the message, He Qiaoyun suddenly lost interest in the takeout she was eating.

This is someone else's house, and they've already said that, what else can she say...?

How is it possible to find a house in such a short time, such as a week?

She was upset about it and didn't sleep well that night.

The next morning, she didn't go to the supermarket to help out. Now that the students were on summer vacation, the small supermarket had two employees who could handle the workload perfectly well.

She always gets up early. After breakfast, before the real estate agents even started work, she began packing her luggage, thinking that if she found a house she liked, she could move in that same day, saving herself a lot of trouble.

Living alone, I had little luggage and packed it up quickly.

Around ten o'clock, when the real estate agent started work, she rode her electric scooter out the door.

The agent knew she was a small business owner, so he was very enthusiastic, and kept bringing up the fact that house prices had dropped and that he had several good properties that held their value.

He Qiaoyun knew her own limitations. Even if housing prices dropped, buying a house would still cost several million yuan. She didn't want to be in her fifties and still have to pay off a mortgage. What if she didn't live to see the mortgage paid off? Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain? Unless she could save enough for a full payment.

She can clearly distinguish between a monthly rent of one or two thousand yuan and a mortgage payment of tens of thousands of yuan that cannot be stopped.

She declined the agent's offer, saying, "I can't afford to buy a house right now. Just find me a good place to rent."

The real estate agent smiled and said, "Okay..."

After looking at several houses, He Qiaoyun was not satisfied with any of them.

These houses are either too new or full of formaldehyde, which is deadly.

Either they're too old, or they're greeted by huge cockroaches as soon as they walk in, which is also a problem.

Some of the apartments were satisfactory, but most were three-bedroom units, and He Qiaoyun felt they were too empty living alone...

Of course, He Qiaoyun also values ​​the living environment. If it's too noisy, no matter how economical it is, she can't stand it.

The agent was very patient. "Sister, there's a nice two-bedroom apartment, but it's a bit pricey. It's in Weile City. You know Weile City, right? It's a large development that integrates villas, townhouses, residential complexes, senior living apartments, retirement communities, hot springs, swimming pools, and golf courses. The environment and infrastructure are very complete, and it's also very close to the city center."

He Qiaoyun nodded, "Let's go take a look."

The two rode their electric bikes to Vida City.

Vida City is very large. In the sweltering summer heat, the sun hangs high in the sky, and even wearing a safety helmet, He Qiaoyun can feel the heat on her head.

The real estate agent seemed to be very resistant to the heat, and while riding his bike, he introduced the area, saying, "Look, there are supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, and even a resort hotel. The developer has also provided a dedicated bus service for the area."

He Qiaoyun looked around and thought that living here wasn't bad. The rent was a bit expensive, but it wasn't more expensive than taking out a mortgage to buy a house.

"Sister, there's a big square here. We can come down and do square dancing in the future."

He Qiaoyun followed his gaze and saw a child standing in the center of the square.

Upon closer inspection, the child's profile looked somewhat familiar.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the time when the sun was at its strongest, and she unconsciously stopped the car.

The real estate agent looked puzzled and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

He Qiaoyun thought she was seeing things, so she asked the real estate agent, "Isn't there a child standing in the square?"

The real estate agent nodded. "Yes, what's up? Do you know them?"

He Qiaoyun murmured, "She should know her..." She pulled the car over to the side of the road, walked to the center of the square under the scorching sun, and saw the little girl's face clearly.

Feng Tiantian.

The little girl she rescued last time had fallen into the water.

However, she looked very thin, her face was flushed from the sun, her eyes were drooping, and she was sweating profusely on her forehead, looking like she was about to faint.

“Aunt He…” Tian Tian’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

He Qiaoyun quickly helped her up, her voice tinged with anxiety, "What are you doing standing here alone in this heat?"

Tian Tian pressed her entire weight onto her without uttering a sound.

This startled He Qiaoyun. She struggled to pick up Tian Tian and carried her to a shady tree. She gently placed her on a bench and rubbed her forehead. "How are you?"

Tian Tian looked listless, as if she had been dehydrated by the sun.

The real estate agent came over and said, "Sister, you really know him...?"

He Qiaoyun turned her head and said anxiously, "Go, go buy a few bottles of ice water and a few popsicles, hurry up."

The real estate agent immediately ran out upon receiving the order.

He Qiaoyun remembered that there was a bottle of water on her electric scooter, and immediately got up, but Tian Tian tugged at her clothes.

"Aunt He, don't go..."

He Qiaoyun turned around and saw Tian Tian's pitiful eyes. She gently patted her hand and pointed to her electric scooter parked next to her, "My scooter is over there. I'll get you a bottle of water."

Tian Tian hesitated before letting go of her hand, watching longingly as she ran to the electric scooter to get water.

He Qiaoyun unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to her, saying, "Quickly replenish your water."

Tian Tian took the bottle and gulped down the water, looking extremely thirsty. She finished the entire bottle by herself.

He Qiaoyun took the empty bottle back and asked, "Why did you stand in the sun all by yourself? It's so hot today, you could die from heatstroke."

It was a hot day, and there were hardly any people on the road. Luckily, she happened to be passing by.

I have to say, I really have a connection with this girl.
