Although she didn’t know why they were suddenly moving after staying there for more than ten years, Gu Qingjiu lifted her luggage and left immediately.
Honestly speaking, she didn’t have a deep sense of attachment to this place.
Other than the fact that her mother was on somewhat familiar terms with some neighbors, she didn’t know others all that well.
She especially found gossipy Chen Yanhong downstairs an eyesore.
Moving to a new home represented a brand new beginning.
The place Qi Yuefeng was talking about was the best building in Dayi City.
Although Dayi City wasn’t considered a big city and was merely an ordinary third-tier small city…
Its property prices weren’t shabby. Even in this building, apartments went for ten thousand yuan or so per square meter.
Such a place was no doubt one of the best in Dayi City.
Gu Qingjiu knew that her father had saved up quite a sum over the years, but she was pretty surprised to see him buying property just now.
When Gu Qingjiu reached, she waited outside the housing estate for a moment while the security guard called Qi Yuefeng and only allowed her in after confirmation.
It was the type of condominium that came with elevators, but it wasn’t the sort of luxurious condos that had one apartment per level.
There were two apartments on one level in that building.
When Gu Qingjiu arrived at the level her mother told her, she pressed the doorbell, and her mother opened the door for her.
When she saw Gu Qingjiu standing outside the door, she instantly revealed a joyful smile. “Aye, Qingjiu, it’s you. Hurry in.”
She pulled Gu Qingjiu in, and a small figure dashed over from inside and abruptly hugged Gu Qingjiu. “Sister Qingjiu!”
Gu Qingjiu fixed her gaze and saw that it was indeed Xiaoxi.
It had been two years since she last saw Xiaoxi.
Last year Xiaoxi had, based on her outstanding performance, directly skipped grades to junior high. For the sake of Xiaoxi’s education, her Great Aunt had arranged for her to go to a boarding junior high school in the same province.
Although her family couldn’t bear to be so far apart from her, no one could say anything about it as it was her Great Aunt’s decision.
Looking at this young lass again, she looked bright and tender. Compared to before, her height had already reached Gu Qingjiu’s shoulders.
This lass was growing fast. From the looks of it, her height would probably surpass Gu Qingjiu’s in a few years.
“Aye, our Xiaoxi is already so tall!”
Gu Qingjiu smiled in delight. Comparing her height to Gu Xiaoxi, she realized that the girl had gotten much taller than the last time she saw her.
That innocent and carefree young lady of the past didn’t show much change in her facial emotions.
It was just that she was gradually giving off the air of a blossoming young lady.
“Mm, mm, mm!!”
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. Her hair was naturally mildly curly, and at the moment, a butterfly blow held her hair held up, making her resemble a princess.
Qi Yuefeng pushed Gu Qingjiu’s luggage from behind and said with a smile, “Xiaoxi recently came from school during this year’s summer break. Knowing that you’re graduating this year, she refused to go to her mother’s place and came over as early as she could. She said she wants to play with you the entire summer break.”
“Mm, mm, mm. Sister Qingjiu, I’m going to play with you all summer break.”
Gu Xiaoxi declared in a childish tone as she squirmed into Gu Qingjiu’s embrace.
Gu Qingjiu’s heart was about to melt, seeing this adorable child wheedling to her.
“Alright, alright. Just stay here with Sister.”
Gu Qingjiu said in a sweet tone as she scraped Gu Xiaoxi’s sharp little nose with a broad beam. “It just so happens Sister is free these days, so I can bring you around to play.”
