Chapter 644: The Little Boy Outside the Door

The phone on the other side was answered swiftly, an obvious sign that the young lady of the house had ordered someone to be on standby, ready to answer calls twenty-four hours a day. The disparity between people was indeed vast, she mused.

At that moment, Mo Li’s sense of injustice reached a peak. However, the more she felt wronged, the more respectful her tone became.

“Princess Sun Qi,” she began, “I have found out where Gu Zi lives. Strangely enough, she resides in the same neighborhood as you. However, due to the urgency of the situation, I am not entirely sure of her exact location.”

Sun Qi remained silent for a while on the other end, evidently surprised as Mo Li had expected. After a long pause, she finally responded, “You’ve done well, and quickly too. I’m growing more and more fond of you. Now that we know she’s in this neighborhood, I can find her myself.”

The call ended abruptly, leaving Mo Li with the echo of Sun Qi’s words. They sounded like a master rewarding her pet dog, causing Mo Li great discomfort. She put down the phone, gazing into the boundless night, and laughed coldly. “Sun Qi, what does it matter if you are high above? You can use me, but I can use you too…”

Under the same sky, the night on Mo Li’s side seemed silent and desolate, evoking an inexplicable sense of dread. On the other side, however, the previously empty mansion had come alive with the arrival of its owner.

Even though dinner time had long passed, the chimney was still billowing with smoke, adding a touch of life to the night. The warm, lively atmosphere made even a lone passerby feel at ease, sparking curiosity about the family living within.

At that moment, a young boy from the neighboring house was drawn to the scene. He stood outside the large iron gate, his eyes filled with curiosity as he peered inside. His gaze landed on a little girl playing alone on the lawn. Excitedly, he called out to her, “Hello there, are you the new residents? I’m talking to you, look at me, look at me!”

Su Le had been playing with the grass on the lawn, fascinated by its soft yet prickly texture. When she heard someone calling her, she instinctively thought it was her brother coming to take her inside. She turned slowly, pouting unhappily at the source of the voice.

The boy outside the gate was taken aback but remained patient. “You’re quite fierce, little girl, but you’re very cute. I’m sorry if I disturbed you. I just wanted to say hello because I live next door. You and your family are welcome to visit us anytime.”

Although Su Le could speak a few words, she was still young. She stared at the boy for a long time, unsure of what to say. At that moment, her older brother Su Li came to get her. As he was about to lift his little sister from the ground, he noticed the boy outside the gate.

The boy was dressed in a stylish blue long-sleeved shirt and straight-cut trousers tucked into cool Martin boots. Despite his cool attire, he had a warm smile on his face. Like Su Li, he wore a winter hat, and his bright eyes were quite charming.

Su Li’s eyes lit up, but he hesitated to greet the boy. After all, his parents had told him that the residents here were all quite extraordinary. Wealthy people were often proud, and it would be terribly awkward if he greeted the boy and received no response.

However, while he was still hesitating, an elderly woman’s voice came from outside the gate. “What are you looking at? The adults of the new neighbors aren’t home, and you’re scaring their child. Come back quickly. There will be other opportunities to get acquainted.”

With that, the boy outside the gate reluctantly turned and left with the woman. A hint of disappointment flashed in Su Li’s eyes as he momentarily forgot that he had come out to bring Su Le inside.

As Su Le watched the strange boy leave, she turned her gaze to her older brother. After observing him for a while, she mimicked his actions, standing on the lawn and looking outside.

When Su Bing came out, he saw his younger siblings standing foolishly on the lawn. Not understanding why, he approached to find out what was going on and to call them inside to watch TV. However, he couldn’t help but laugh at his younger brother’s words.

He tapped Su Li on the forehead, “Everyone living here is wealthy, and since we live here too, we’re also wealthy. Doesn’t our father have money? Who says all wealthy people are arrogant? We’re the wealthy people who aren’t arrogant.”
