Chapter 650: She Is Renting It

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sun Qi said to the driver, “What a coincidence. Keep a close eye on her for me. I’m curious to see what kind of house her stinking pig-slaughtering country bumpkin of a husband could possibly rent for her.”

The Sun family’s driver, a seasoned professional, skillfully and inconspicuously followed the woman and her two children in the car.

In the villa district, cars came and went. For the safety of all residents, the district required slow driving within its confines. Therefore, even if a car was slowly trailing behind Gu Zi and her children, it wouldn’t raise any suspicions.

The Sun family’s car followed Gu Zi and her children down a long road, then turned into a street. Sun Qi watched as Gu Zi and her two children stopped in front of a house.

This house was the first on the street and appeared to be the largest. The Sun family’s car stopped not far away. By this time, Gu Zi had already opened the door and led the two children inside.

Sun Qi’s gaze fell on the house number, which read “1 Fulin Road, C District, Jifu New Village” in fancy script. She couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “It’s actually in C District!”

C District was an old villa area, but it was also a well-known area for influential figures. The owners were all prominent figures in Guangcheng, spanning politics, business, education, and medicine.

In this villa district, although the houses in C District were old, they were the most expensive and hardest to buy. When the Sun family wanted to buy here, they had to rely on luck and a draw against another family, who ended up winning the house.

The driver was also puzzled. He had heard from his young mistress that the person they were following was a tenant. However, to his knowledge, the villas in this district were only for sale, not for rent. Especially a house like this one, the first on the street. He suggested, “Miss, could there be some misunderstanding? Give me some time, and I’ll investigate further.”

But Sun Qi was adamant that Gu Zi was renting the house. She said arrogantly, “If it’s not rented, could it be bought? By a pig-slaughtering country bumpkin? A little money would be enough for them to show off for a lifetime. There have been precedents of villas in this area being rented out. Wasn’t there one that was rented out before?”

The driver, a long-time servant of the Sun family and someone who had watched the young mistress grow up, didn’t want her to make a mistake and be ridiculed. He analyzed, “The owner of that house rented it out because of certain circumstances and needed the money. The tenant was not an ordinary person. This is why it was successfully rented. Moreover, Miss, this house is a newly built one. Generally speaking, it is unlikely to be rented out.”

At this point, Sun Qi found the old driver to be quite annoying. Her parents had shown him respect because he had been driving for the Sun family for many years, and now he was acting superior and lecturing her.

Sun Qi’s face showed her displeasure as she huffed, “I said she’s renting, and I enjoy seeing her not doing well. Stop talking and drive. I’m in a hurry to deliver soup to Brother Gong Zhan.”

She was in a hurry today. Knowing where Gu Zi lived was enough. Gu Zi was now married to an old man and had two big children. It was embarrassing. She had plenty of time to deal with and humiliate Gu Zi later. It was more important to deliver soup to her Brother Gong Zhan. The driver, who had been scolded, wanted to say something but eventually remained silent and quietly drove the car.

Back in the villa, Gu Zi started cooking as soon as she got home, seeing that Su Shen and her daughter hadn’t returned yet. She knew Jin Long had come early today and had somehow managed to take Su Shen out, probably to buy clothes. Jin Long was reliable in this regard.

Earlier, Su Le had woken up and was playing with Big Yellow in the front yard after having her milk. Since Gu Zi had to take her two brothers to report to school later, Su Shen, not wanting Gu Zi to tire herself out, had taken Su Le with him when he left. Two grown men with a little girl might seem worrisome, but Gu Zi felt it was necessary to let Su Shen take care of Su Le to strengthen their father-daughter bond.

The father and daughter had left early and hadn’t returned yet. They would definitely be starving when they got back. She decided to prepare lunch early so they could enjoy a hot, nutritious meal as soon as they got home.

Su Bing wanted to help, but Gu Zi refused and sent him out of the kitchen. Seeing Su Li watching TV in the living room, she went over, turned off the TV, and said in a rare serious tone, “The winter vacation isn’t long. The school will conduct a level test for all students when school starts. I don’t want you to fall behind your classmates. Understand?”
