Zhen Youzhi surveyed the area around the neighborhood. Upon arriving, he noticed that this whole region was undergoing renovation.
This also implies that the real estate here has certain value in the coming years.
Unlike He Yuchun, who is like a naive woman, what he sees is very one-sided. However, he holds different thoughts about the daughter he has never t.
"Let’s go upstairs and have a look first."
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper Zhen led the couple upstairs.
They stood on the third floor, knocking on the door for quite a while, but it didn’t open.
He Yuchun thought about how the two children at ho always loved sleeping in; the servants would often be chased away when they went upstairs to wake them.
She preferred to let the children enjoy undisturbed sleep and instructed the servants not to go upstairs to bother them.
But now, she wanted whoever was inside to wake up and open the door, feeling sowhat impatient: "Could they still be asleep? Housekeeper Zhen, knock harder."
"Okay, ma’am."
The housekeeper Zhen banged forcefully on the door, but there was still no response from inside.
The door before them remained silent, but the door next to it opened. A middle-aged woman peeked out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"We’re looking for the owner of this house," Zhen Youzhi responded politely.
"They’ve gone out; the siblings left with suitcases by car this morning."
Zhen Youzhi did not look pleased: "Do you know where they went?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head: "How would I know? Judging by the license plate, it seed like a car from Beijing. I don’t know whose young lady and young master they are; everyone who cos looking for them drives nice cars and treats them very well!"
Upon hearing that Gu Jin took a Beijing-licensed car to leave, Zhen Youzhi wore a puzzled expression.
After hearing the neighbor ntion that those who seek out Gu Jin co from wealthy families, he felt a subtle change inside.
"Siblings?" He Yuchun asked with an unpleasant tone.
"Yes, they’ve lived here for two years."
He Yuchun’s face did not look good; she thought Gu Jin was living with Gu Dehao’s son.
Going to the countryside back then was the darkest mont in her life.
Gu Dehao was the man among her suitors who appeared the most pleasing, and for the child in her belly, she had no choice but to marry him.
When the chance ca to return to the city, she left her daughter behind, divorced Gu Dehao, and left freely.
Later, she did inquire about Gu Dehao’s situation and learned he remarried and had a son with his new wife. When she found out, she felt particularly uncomfortable.
Now, hearing Gu Dehao’s son lived with her daughter, she instinctively rejected it.
Seeing they had nothing more to ask, the woman remarked that they should stop knocking, as there were sleeping children in the house and the noise was too much. After that, she shut the door.
"Housekeeper Zhen, go to school and inquire if the child is there."
"Yes, sir—"
This ti, Zhen Youzhi and He Yuchun ended up making a wasted trip.
The housekeeper Zhen’s inquiries revealed that Gu Jin and An Mingji had each taken a two-week leave from school.
...
Gu Jin and An Mingji arrived in Beijing at 5 p.m. that day.
The business car then drove on Beijing roads for another half-hour before finally arriving at the old mansion of the Wanqi Family in West City.
While in the car, Wanqi Yihai had called in advance.
When Gu Jin got out of the car, she was t by Wanqi Yanghong, the Family Head of the Wanqi Family, who was accompanied by key familial mbers, waiting at the door to welco her.
Wanqi Yanghong focused his gaze on Gu Jin the mont Wanqi Yihai, An Mingji, and Gu Jin got out of the car.
This was because the old ancestor had ntioned before that the young lord was a woman.
