“Brother, don’t blabber too much. My friends are all important guests.” Sze Lingyun warned Sze Junyan.
Chi Yang had already walked to the passenger seat and was helping Nuannuan open the car door. Since this idiot was Sze Lingyun’s biological brother, the worst thing Chi Yang and Nuannuan could do to him was ignore him.
Seeing that Chi Yang was ignoring him and acting aloof, the other party sneered.
“Important guests? I think it’s quite ridiculous that he couldn’t even be bothered to greet me. He might be from a rich family, but they can’t be that rich! You honored guests should get down from the car. Once this guy sees who I am, I’ll see if he still dares to not greet me.”
After saying that, Sze Junyan tried to gesture at Nangong Nuannuan, but she ignored him and just got out of the car.
Sze Junyan glanced at the man and woman whispering outside the car, pretending to be intimate. His eyes were filled with jealousy and mockery. He would remember Nangong Nuannuan’s indifference towards him for a long time.
He wanted to see this woman’s expression when she found out that his house was about to be demolished and that he would be given five houses in return. Sze Lingyun quickly got out of the car and went to join Nangong Nuannuan and Chi Yang. Wu Pingting had already gotten out of the car herself and was standing with them.
“Big Brother Chi, Nuannuan, I’m sorry. My brother is just like this. He always thinks he’s the best person in the world. You probably don’t want to meet my parents, since they raised someone like him. Why don’t you guys and Pingting relax by the river? I won’t take too long.”
Nangong Nuannuan patted Sze Lingyun’s shoulder and said, “We came here to support you. If we don’t back you up, who will?”
Sze Lingyun smiled and said, “Don’t worry. They can’t do anything to me. I’m afraid it’ll just ruin your day if you go in.”
“Not many people can ruin my day. Let’s go.”
“Let’s go, let’s go!” Wu Pingting could not wait any longer. She held on to Sze Lingyun and Nangong Nuannuan’s arms and led them inside.
Sze Lingyun’s house was quite big. It was a typical-looking homestead home. The house was made of bricks and tile, and it had two floors and six windows on each floor, making for a total of 12 windows. Each room had one of these windows.
Nangong Nuannuan looked inside through one of these windows and saw that many of the individual rooms were occupied. Judging by the looks of the people inside, they were probably not Sze Lingyun’s relatives. She asked, “Do you rent your house out?”
“Yes.” Sze Lingyun nodded. “My house initially only had four rooms. Later, when everyone around here started renovating, my mother borrowed money to add another eight rooms beside and above the original four rooms. There’s twelve now. She rents out seven of them and keeps the remaining five for herself.”
Nuannuan nodded and prepared to enter the house with Sze Lingyun.
However, before she could step inside, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the house. When she saw Sze Lingyun, she shouted angrily as if she was looking at her worst enemy, “Who told you that you could bring your friends here? Did you ask me for permission? Sze Lingyun, you call yourself a model student. Did you sh*t out all your manners?”
Without waiting for Sze Lingyun to speak, the woman chided Nangong Nuannuan and the others. “I don’t care who you are. Our family doesn’t receive guests. Even if you’re important people, you can get lost!”
Chi Yang, “…”
Nangong Nuan, “…”
Wu Pingting, “…”
