Wenliang's home is located in a high-end community called "Pearl of Mountains and Seas" in the Haigang District of Gangcheng.
This land is the most suitable place for looking at the river and the sea. Although it is not as prominent as the Nanshan Land in Hepan Mountain, let alone thirteen years later, even thirteen years ago, this was a famous and wealthy place. A gathering place where celebrities and dignitaries can often be seen in nearby communities.
Wen Liang is a big star, so He Tianran was not surprised at all to be able to buy a house here, but he was a little surprised when he saw the name of this community.
Because in Hong Kong City, when the word "mountain and sea" is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is his own Shanhai Group. However, He Panshan's company started out in technology. When did it get involved in the real estate industry?
After parking the car in the basement, He Tianran followed Wen Liang into the elevator. Then he looked up and saw an unfamiliar acquaintance appearing on the advertising screen in the elevator.
Zhao Yuanchong... no, it should be said to be He Yuanchong, his younger brother.
The He Yuanchong on the screen now, with oily hair, pink face, suits and leather shoes, looks like a successful person. A promotional video for this community is being played at the moment, and the subtitles introduce him as the director of Shanhai Real Estate.
"Shanhai Pearl is Shanhai Real Estate's first high-end residential community born in Hong Kong City. We are determined to provide every resident with the best quality service. The supporting facilities in the community are all..."
Listening to He Yuanchong on the screen introducing the advantages of this place, He Tianran asked Wen Liang beside him:
"When did Shanhai Technology change its career to real estate?"
"I haven't changed my career. It's just that a few years ago, Boss He gave his precious son a job to develop his career. Even though he said it so nicely, he actually only has three pieces of land under his control. I heard that he still relies on the ancestors of the He family. Fumeng just got it, and now only the Pearl of Mountains and Seas has been built, the other two plots of land are in remote locations and have not been developed yet.”
Wen Liang stared at the screen and continued:
"But then again, the facilities and environment of this community are indeed better than those of first-tier brands. It can also be seen that the He family wants to do a good job in these areas. However, after all, the He family wants to return to the real estate industry. It’s not that easy.”
He Tianran asked curiously: "Do you still know the history of the He family?"
Wen Liang spread his hands: "Everyone here knows that I have been rooted in Hong Kong City for more than ten years, right?"
Ding dong, the elevator bell rang. In a community like this, elevator entry is the most basic thing.
Wen Liang opened the armored door of her home through her fingerprint. After entering, she turned around and said with a smile:
"Welcome to my dream home!"
He Tianran walked into the house with a smile and looked around.
This is a large flat floor of nearly 400 square meters. The space is very large. There are several places on the wall where movie posters shot by Wen Liang are specially framed. The decoration of the room is in a simple and modern style, and the living room Facing the south, there is a large balcony with a depth of nearly three meters and a sea view.
This is a perfect location to watch the sea. He Tianran leaned on the railing and looked at the endless coastline in front of him. In addition to the salty sea breeze blowing against his face, He Tianran, a money fan, also smelled the delicious taste of money.
"Huh~ Standing here, I feel like my mood has improved..."
Even though the sea and blue sky in He Tianran's eyes were black and white, the money-loving gene engraved in his bones still made him sigh at the beauty of life.
"Actually, what you want to say is that while standing here, you suddenly feel like you don't want to work hard, right?"
Wen Liang put his hands behind his back and walked to him with a smile.
"..."
No matter what time it was, Wen Liang could always express what was in his heart that left He Tianran speechless.
And after she finished speaking, she would not make He Tianran feel embarrassed, because as soon as the boy didn't know what time to talk, she would immediately bring up another topic, such as now.
"Well, tell me, your surname is He after all. Many years ago, I imagined that you were He Panshan's illegitimate son. If you were his son, maybe this property would be yours."
Well, an unintentional joke turned out to hit home again.
But at this time, Wen Liang seemed to be unaware of He Tianran's life experience.
"Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and the rich second generation also has its own troubles. It's good to be an ordinary person."
He Tianran said with emotion.
Seeing the boy's serious face facing the sea, Wen Liang smiled and said, "You make it sound like you are really a rich second generation..."
At this point, she suddenly felt a little melancholy: "If you were really rich, I'm afraid you wouldn't be exhausted mentally and physically just to invest in a movie."
Hearing this, He Tianran was very curious. Wen Liang had told him about this when he first met him after his rebirth, but the details were unclear. This time travel may be a good opportunity to find out the truth.
He said: "In this world, our current relationship should be very good. Didn't he ask you for help?"
Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said: "He can accept help from anyone, but he will not accept help from me. Even though I helped him in many tactful ways, he found out."
"You want to save face and suffer the consequences?"
"Yes, I'll save face and suffer the consequences."
"It's something I can do." He Tianran sighed.
Wen Liang was lying on the railing, folding his hands to support his head, and said softly: "But he doesn't have any friends around him."
"I'm so miserable? I don't even have any friends?"
"You are not sociable. You are paranoid and timid... You always think you can win with your talent. You are thirty years old. Sometimes I don't know whether to call you naive or stupid..."
He Tianran observed Wen Liang's state, and he was keenly aware that the worse his other self was, the heavier Wen Liang's guilt seemed to be.
"Interpersonal relationships are also a manifestation of ability. Some things can be very tiring if only one person does it."
The young He Tianran tried his best to show his current understanding. In fact, these simple principles were taught to him by friends such as Xue Yong and Bai Tingting, including power outages at school, solving bullying incidents, and even his own art exams and even I confessed to Cao Aiqing that without the help of friends or others, he alone would not be able to accomplish these things.
Wen Liang raised his eyes and looked at him, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"When you were eighteen years old, you were not as sensible as you are now. How did you develop your character? Just because you saw through my prank?"
He Tianran said to himself, "It's bad." He pretended to be normal and covered it up:
"It's been cultivated since childhood."
"Do you have a good relationship with your family in that world?"
"It's okay."
"Um--"
Wen Liang stared at him without saying a word. Her look was almost like "you lied" written on her face.
"Oh...well, it's because I dreamed about the world here. It had a great impact on me."
He Tianran retreated to the next best thing and said seriously, half-truthfully.
This time Wen Liang no longer doubted it, and she said with some emotion:
"No wonder what he wrote about you is almost exactly how he wanted you to be..."
"What do you want to be like the most..."
He Tianran subconsciously looked back at Wen Liang, and couldn't help but wonder, is this what you want to see the most?
Wen Liang was a little panicked when he looked at him. She first looked at the coastline and paused for a moment. The sea breeze blew the hair on her temples, as if it was tugging at her heartstrings. When she looked sideways at the young man again, she asked:
"By the way, since you are the same person, guess what he would want to do most if he became like you?"
There was seven points of carelessness and three points of caution in her tone.
Her acting skills were very good, and this sentence seemed like a curious conversation piece that came out of her mouth, but He Tianran understood instantly that this might be the question she wanted to ask herself most since they met in this world.
If the He Tianran in this world looked like him, then what would he want to do most now...
The young He Tianran didn't even have to think about the answer to this question.
"My answer...maybe I'm sorry for your expectations..."
The boy didn't dare to look at Wen Liang, so he foreshadowed it.
"Then...then don't say anything...I'm just asking..."
The extremely intelligent woman in front of her seemed to have guessed what the young man was about to say. Her thoughts were seen through, and she immediately turned around and walked towards the living room. As she walked, she found something to say in her mouth:
"By the way... have you eaten today? You must not have any money with you, right? And you definitely don't have a change of clothes. I will take you to go shopping around and buy you some things by the way. Come here first , I will record the fingerprints on the door for you, and you will live in..."
"I want to meet Cao Aiqing."
He Tianran shouted to that beautiful back, and the other person's body suddenly stiffened.
"Or... it's 'he' who wants to meet, especially when Ai Qing is about to get married. If he really becomes like me, he definitely wants to show his best self to Ai Qing, and it's not just to show off. Or something, he just regrets... regrets that at his best age, he couldn't express himself well in front of the person he had a crush on."
Wen Liang slowly raised his head, and He Tianran looked at her lonely back and felt his heart piercing.
It wasn't until a long time later that she turned around, smiled and said:
"And you?"
"Me? I don't have to... Anyway, I can tell the difference between people from two worlds." He Tianran forced a smile.
Wen Liang slowly approached with his hands behind his back. The boy's back was pressed against the guardrail of the balcony and he could not retreat. Wen Liang suddenly raised his hand, scaring him so much that he closed his eyes.
"Da~"
There was a soft sound, and He Tianran was suddenly flicked in the middle of his forehead...
He opened his eyes and saw Wen Liang retracting his hand and staring at him with a smile.
"You~ lie~ again~"
"...I...I didn't..."
"You don't want to see someone with the same name and surname as your girlfriend appear at someone else's wedding, right?"
Seeing He Tianran becoming silent, Wen Liang felt clear in her heart, clapped her hands together, and suggested:
"Let's do this. Just tonight, I'll ask Ai Qing and Guo Huai to come to my house for dinner. I'll cook the food myself and you'll take the opportunity to meet them. How about it?"
"you……"
He Tianran was shocked. He knew how uncomfortable Wen Liang felt when he said this proposal, but when those words of rejection came to his lips, he couldn't say them out anyway.
He really wanted to think about Cao Aiqing, who was about to marry Guo Huai.
"This world is different from the one you originally lived in. Many things have developed to the point of irreversibility... But since this is what 'He Tianran' wants to do, I will try my best to help you..."
Wenliang was still the same Wenliang, and she didn't make He Tianran feel too embarrassed.
There was still a smile on her lips, but there was a bit more sadness and bitterness in it.
