Chapter 1923
The man’s attention lingered on my face for a moment and then quickly moved away, his tone respectful and polite, “I just want to ask you if there are any houses for rent in this neighborhood, I think the environment here is quite good and I want to rent one for my boss.”
“I don’t know much about this, or you can go to the community property and ask, I can help you find the property number.”
I thought the man was quite cordial, so I turned around and went back inside to ask the maid for the number and handed over the sticky note.
The man took it politely and married it, his voice pleading, “Thank you so much.”
“You’re welcome, we’ll have to look out for each other if we ever become neighbours.”
“Sure, sure.”
The man nodded his head in response and left without saying a word.
It was a minor incident, so I didn’t take it to heart.
It wasn’t until the afternoon two days later that I went out to the front yard to play with the cat Gu Han had raised, and found the BMW car from that day had appeared again, this time parked directly in front of the villa opposite.
The car door opened and the first person to step out was the man who had asked me about it that day.
The man then went around to the back seat, pulled open the door and two men, one large and one small, got out of the car.
Before I could react, Murong Zhian had already spotted me, “Pretty auntie!”
As soon as Fu Shenyan’s hand was released, he spilled his legs and ran towards me.
There was a road between us, and I was afraid that something would happen to the child, so I hurriedly put the cat down and took a few steps to meet him.
The little one hugged my leg and raised his little head to look at me with a smile, “How nice to meet you again!”
“Oh, you don’t remember so soon, auntie lives here.” I smiled and rubbed his fluffy head, turning sideways to let him see the house behind me.
It was raining that day and children’s memories are limited, besides, this villa area was almost a copy and paste of the buildings, so it was indeed difficult to recognize them all.
Fu Shenyan glanced behind me from afar, then turned his attention to Murong Zhi’an with a warning in his voice, “Murong Zhi’an.”
Murong Zhi’an immediately frowned at his words, reluctantly letting go of his small hand and pouting as he walked back.
He walked up to Fu Shen Yan and fawned over him, grabbing one of Fu Shen Yan’s fingers, somewhat pampered.
The child is very sensitive, probably sensing that Fu Shen Yan is angry and deliberately currying favour.
The father-son relationship is a little too impersonal, and for such a young child, it is not too harsh.
Children are at their most active and should be educated with a blend of reason and emotion to protect their natural instincts.
But after all, I am only a casual acquaintance with Fu Shenyan, so I can’t interfere with how people teach their children, I can only think about it in my mind.
After standing in place for a while, Fu Shen Yan turned around and took the children into the villa across the street.
When they went inside, the man who had followed them to open the door turned around and walked over to me, “We’ll be neighbours from now on, my name is Chen Yi, if there’s anything you want to do from now on, just give me an order.”
Chen Yi handed over a business card as he spoke, I took it and scanned it before nodding and introducing myself, “Just call me Shen Shu.”
After a pause, I added, “Is that what you came to inquire about for Fu Shen Yan the other day? He’s your boss?”
“Yes, the general manager wanted a change of scenery for the kids and saw this place, so I came over to settle down, thank you for that day.”
“Chen Yi.”
Just as he finished speaking, Fu Shen Yan called out from the opposite doorway with a dark face.
Chen Yi hurriedly said goodbye and quickly ran over.
While looking at the closed door, I was filled with confusion.
This neighbourhood was considered an upper-middle class villa area, but not super luxurious, shouldn’t a rich man of Fu Shen Yan’s calibre live in a more noble place?
Why did he choose this place?
Chapter 1924
There seemed to be too many things about this man, Fu Shenyan, that could not be viewed with normal thinking.
With a stomach full of doubts, I waited for the opposite side to close the door tightly again before I turned around and went inside.
In the evening Gu Han, when he came back it was already dinner time, remembering the new neighbours, he casually mentioned it at the dinner table, “You’ll never guess who’s moved in across the street.”
“Who?” Gu Han had a casual attitude, clearly informed but not very interested in the arrival of his new neighbours.
“It’s …….”
“Ding-dong-”
The words were in his throat, but they were interrupted by the sudden ringing of the doorbell.
Gu Han doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s eating, so the maids have all retreated to their rooms after serving the food, so there’s no one waiting in the hall at the moment.
Gu Han had already put down his chopsticks, but when he saw that I had already gone over, he had to give up.
Lately, he has become more and more unable to argue with me on the trivial matters of life.
As soon as the door opened, a fleshy little face suddenly burst out, “Pretty auntie!”
Murong Zhi’an was staring at me with a smile as she peered at the door, her little grape-like eyes darting around.
I raised the corner of my mouth at her, “Little An An, looking for Auntie?”
“The power is out at home and there’s no water, it’s dark and not fun in the new house.”
“Well then ……” I frowned, heartily stroking the top of the child’s head.
The villa had been unused for a long time before Fu Shenyan moved in, and it was inevitable that something would happen when he suddenly moved in.
At this moment, Fu Shen Yan suddenly peeked out from the half-open door, “Murong Zhi An is a very picky eater.”
“Hmm?” I froze, not reacting for a moment to what he meant by that.
Murong Zhi’an then tugged at the corner of my coat and said with a resigned expression, “Pretty auntie, I’m so hungry, my stomach is deflated.”
Fu Shen Yan added, “We can’t cook at home and he doesn’t eat takeaway.”
He kept his usual expressionless face as he spoke, a and special kind of indifference.
But this time I understood, the two masters had come to dine out.
I smiled lightly and bowed my head and said, “Auntie has cooked a lot of dishes, will little An An eat with me?”
Just as I finished speaking, Fu Shen Yan said, “Yes.”
The tone of voice was as flat as water, but the speed of speech was so fast that I had the feeling that he couldn’t wait.
The lunch of Warren Buffett, the God of Stocks, is worth ten million, so the dinner of Fu Shen Yan, the richest man in the world, is at least a million, so what reason does he have to crave the home-cooked dishes of ordinary people?
“Good!” Murong Zhian cheered as he pulled me inside, and the matter was left behind me.
I was a little worried that Gu Han would be displeased if I rashly led someone in, but perhaps out of upbringing, he actually did not show any displeasure, instead, he enthusiastically took the initiative to get up, “I’ll go and add two sets of dishes.”
Murong Zhi’an, who had been taught well, trotted up to help.
Gu Han bent down and patted him on the shoulder, “Children just sit and wait obediently.”
After saying that, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Fu Shen Yan suddenly walked up to Murong Zhi An and without a word, “Don’t you remember what you were taught just yesterday?”
“What is it?” It was probably because there were too many things taught and the child could not remember them for a while.
Fu Shen Yan said coldly, “You can’t take care of the strange aunt.”
“Remember.” Murong Zhi’an nodded his head like a garlic pound.
“The same thing applies to weird uncle, in future you have to learn from your own example, remember?”
