The four of them walked out from the house and were prepared to go to the wine cellar. Luo Shuyan noticed another bungalow not far from them, which was around 10 meters away. She hadnât noticed it at first. The house that they had walked out from was already very beautiful, and she hadnât expected the other bungalow to be even more beautiful.
From the exterior, it was clear that this building was newer than the other. That building had some aging to its walls, with boston ivy crawling all over. The design brought her back to the olden days where the design of houses were noble and solemn.
Guo Weikang noticed Luo Shuyanâs action and proceeded to gaze in the same direction.
He was in a very good mood today, and was talking more than usual. âItâs been a long time since someone has stayed there. However, it is regularly cleaned. I overheard something. Tianyuan, do you know whoâs house that is? It belongs to the Lu family. The Lu family shouldnât be messed with. Their ancestors used to be high ranking officials, and the parentâs generation were part of the red capitalist movement. Anyway, they are a force to be reckoned with in Jing City. The gossip worthy part of their family isnt the fact that theyâre rich, instead, rumors say that the bungalow we see there is the marital house of the Lu familyâs only son and his wife.â
Luo Tianyuan wasnât interested in other peopleâs business. However, since his best friend had such a strong urge to gossip, he figured that it wouldnât have been nice for him to interrupt him.
On the other hand, Luo Shuyan had an immense interest in this. She was perceptive and looked at Guo Weikang and said, âIf itâs a marital house, why hasnât anyone stayed here in a long time?â
âThere are two rumors going round, and Iâm not sure which one is accurate. The first one says that Mrs. Lu passed away in an accident, whereas another says that Mrs. Lu and Mr. Lu are divorced and she has left the country.â Guo Weikang laughed and said, âWe are merely spectators when it comes to the dramatic life of the rich. Thereâs no way weâd ever know the truth, everything is merely hearsay.â
Luo Tianyun didnât like his daughter knowing too much about the relationship between adults. He stared at Guo Weikang as a signal for him to stop.
Shen Yan wasnât very interested in things like this, so he found the topic particularly boring.
He was someone whoâd easily ruminate about an issue when it arises. He figured that there was something off about Guo Weikang, but he couldnât put his finger on it. A usual child his age would stop thinking about it and turn to focus on something else. Nevertheless, he didnât. The more he couldnât understand, the more he wanted to actually understand.
This area was a secluded place and it was time to eat. Guo Weikang drove them back to the city center for food.
Along the way, he talked non-stop.
However, one good thing was that it prevented him from asking about the situation with Luo Tianyunâs company.
âYou can now leave Ning City with your daughter. That place is too small, and the education and healthcare system is nowhere as good as in the big cities. We have a few clients who tried all means to allow their children to study in Jing City. Some look even further and have plans to send their children overseas to study.â
This was an issue that frustrated Luo Tianyuan.
Of course, he hoped that his daughter would be able to study in Jing City in the future, if not, he wouldnât have planned to purchase properties here anyway.
These were his current thoughts. However, as a parent, he was conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that his daughter would have a bright future, on the other, he didnât want his daughter to face any challenges. Thus, he was oscillating between these two thoughts.
In the end, he decided that when his company was in a more stable position, he would leave Ning City with his daughter.
Luo Tianyuan unapologetically acted like a poor man in front of his best friend. âI donât have the means to do soâ¦â
He was telling the truth. As of now, he didnât have the ability to move his family to Jing City. It wasnât the financial aspects of things, instead, it was in terms of their daily lifestyle.
âOur life in Ning City is not bad. Thereâs someone to take care of her daily needs, and sheâs used to living there. Weâll talk about the future when the future comes.â
Luo Shuyan sighed a breath of relief when she heard that.
Was the difference between the rich and the poor so obvious??
âTheir family didnât have the financial means to move to a bigger city, yet Uncle Guo is already considering buying a bungalow hereâ¦â
Guo Weikang wanted to shout on the streets. âIf you donât have the ability to do so, who else would? At that point, everyone in this nation would be considered poor!â
However, to not ruin his best friendâs act, he went against his morals and said, âThen, work hard to fulfill your dreams soon. Haha.â
Luo Tianyuan smiled gently. âIâll take your word on that.â
Guo Weikang asked, âIf my memory serves me right, you have two properties in Ning City ?â
Shen Yan was a deep thinker. A match stick seemed to have been lit in Shen Yanâs mind â
Everything that didnât sit right with him about the man can finally be explained!

He knew that something was not right with Uncle Guo. The way he talked seemed to imply that he was trying to sell the house to Luo Shuyan!
Exactly. If Uncle Guo were looking to buy the house, why would he keep trying to promote it to Uncle Luo?
Thatâs not right. Who was Uncle Guo trying to sell the house to?
Shen Yan stared fixedly at Luo Tianyuan seated at the passengerâs seat who was chatting with Guo Weikang.
He understood. âItâs Uncle Luo who is looking to buy the house!!â
