Someone was driving, someone kept the conversation going, the two-hour-plus journey didn't feel long at all.
We had breakfast at 8:00 and set off, and by 10:50, we arrived at the reader's house.
It was a self-built villa area between the city and the countryside. It seems the builders were pretty well-off, given the variety of styles, yet all villas were spacious.
Song Tan curiously asked, "Is this area so wealthy?"
Lun Chuan pointed towards the tall buildings in front:
"The reader said it was during the time of skyrocketing house prices and demolitions."
"It's rare to see everyone come together like this after such demolitions," Song Tan observed carefully. The self-built villa scale isn't small.
Lun Chuan said helplessly, "It was right after the demolitions when the residential records were frozen, a bunch of people came to the village. Some tricked people into gambling, others goaded them into investing and doing business."
