Delayed confession

It was not time for dinner yet. Xu Weixi was lying on the sofa playing with her phone when she suddenly felt a sinking sensation at her feet.

He turned his head to take a look, supported his elbows on the sofa, sat up, put on his slippers, and prepared to move to another place.

"Your unit's dormitory is not vacant yet?"

Hearing the question, Xu Weixi turned sideways to look at Xu Guochang, and seeing him avoiding her gaze uncomfortably, she immediately guessed what was going on.

"No."

Xu Guochang poured himself a cup of tea and explained uncomfortably,

"Zi Rui has been on vacation recently. He is still growing and can't sleep on the sofa all the time."

Xu Weixi had an expression of understanding, waiting for his next words.

"Please urge your unit again."

"it is good."

……

Xu Weixi put down his chopsticks, glanced at Xu Guochang who was sitting opposite him, and said,

"I'm moving out this Friday."

Fang Yuan was peeling eggs for the children. When he heard his daughter's words, he looked up and asked,

"Is your company's dormitory vacant?"

Xu Weixi leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, looking at the expressions of the crowd, and answered nonchalantly, "No, we moved to Hengyuan. My sister-in-law rented a house for Xuanxuan there."

Xu Guochang was still the same as before, with his head down and not saying anything. However, Xu Zirui was a little different, looking unhappy.

Fang Yuan thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate. After all, there was a difference between people's houses and dormitories. Why?

"Don't do it, it will cause trouble to others."

Xu Weixi took out the cold eggs from the basin, smiled and shook his head.

"No, it's like accompanying my children to study."

"Why don't you want to help me with a single question, but you tutor other people's kids?"

Xu Weixi was a little unhappy because Xu Guochang had asked about the dormitory just now, but she did not show it in front of Fang Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zirui slammed the table first, and his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Are you questioning me?"

Seeing Xu Zirui's eyes filled with tears, as if he had suffered a great injustice, Xu Weixi was so angry that she laughed.

"You don't have any memory at all? You must have been about six or seven years old at that time."

Xu Weixi looked at his parents who lowered their heads and sneered.

"Has any of you told him about this legendary experience of our family?"

"Okay, since no one told you, I'll fill in the gaps in your memory."

"That's enough." Xu Guochang slammed his chopsticks on the table with a loud noise and prepared to get up and leave.

Xu Weixi looked at Xu Guochang's back expressionlessly and said word by word,

"During the summer vacation during my senior year of high school, my family went bankrupt. A bunch of people blocked the door and asked for money. You cried and were scared. There was nothing you could do."

"Then, my father called me while I was in school and asked me to go to Aunt Taozi's house to borrow 200,000 yuan."

"Listen carefully, it's not that they have borrowed it and asked me to pick it up, but that they asked me to borrow it."

Xu Zirui retorted,

"You are talking nonsense. Why would Dad let you borrow money?"

Xu Weixi looked at Xu Guochang who was putting on his clothes at the door and asked, "Yeah, Dad, why did you let me borrow money in the first place? And you were so sure that they would lend it to me."

Fang Yuan looked at the three people quarreling and pulled his daughter to sit down.

"Aunt Taozi likes you better."

Xu Weixi broke free from Fang Yuan's hand, walked behind Xu Guochang, and said with a sneer on his face,

"Yes, he likes me and treats me well, so I should go to accompany him to study, isn't that right?"

"I'm repaying a favor."

-

"Wei Xi, I know a shocking secret."

Because he didn't sleep well last night, Xu Weixi rubbed his eyebrows uncomfortably, picking up the steak in front of him with chopsticks intermittently. Suddenly he heard Wang Lingling's voice and looked up with a confused look on his face.

"what?"

Wang Lingling put down her phone and said mysteriously,

"The woman surnamed Lu is Liang Sanpi's wife."

Xu Weixi's mind was a little confused, and he asked subconsciously,

"Which wife?"

"Who else? The original wife."

Xu Weixi nodded and said nothing.

"I wonder why she always gives you trouble."

"But you're not the woman Liang Sanpi cheated with, so why would he take his anger out on you?"

It took Xu Weixi a while to realize who Wang Lingling was talking about. She originally thought it was just an ordinary work dispute, but she didn't expect there to be such a detailed relationship.

"Maybe it's not that complicated. Maybe she's just setting rules for the newcomers. You and I are the only ones here. She doesn't dare to offend you, so she has to attack me."

Wang Lingling took a sip of juice and asked doubtfully, "Is it that simple?"

"It's not that complicated. You also said that Liang Sanpi's matter has nothing to do with me, so why is she targeting me?"

"No, I think the way she looks at you is unusual, with obvious hostility."

"Have you been watching any dramas these days?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan is really good."

"That's a palace drama."

"It's almost the same at work, just pay more attention."

"Okay, okay, eat. We still have work to do in the afternoon."

Xu Weixi heard her phone vibrate, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a message from Xu Zirui.

[Sister, I'm sorry. I was wrong about what happened yesterday. Will you come back for dinner today? Mom made your favorite fried hairtail. ]

[No] Xu Weixi thought about it and deleted the content, closed his phone and continued eating.

……

"Hello, are you looking to buy a house recently? I'm a sales consultant at Vanke City. This is my business card, and this is a detailed introduction to our property. This is a school district property, right next to Xiqiao No. 1 Middle School."

“What kind of school district housing do you need for high school?”

"The new policy has not been implemented yet?"

"Can you tell this isn't a lie?"

"Sister, when the policy comes out, the house price won't be this high anymore."

"Are people who buy houses so dedicated nowadays? They don't even forget about work while eating." Wang Lingling turned her head and looked at the man who was working hard on selling at the next table.

This steakhouse attracts many nearby residents because of its good quality and low price. Opposite the man in a suit is a family of three, and it is obvious that the little girl should be a junior high school student.

Xu Weixi suddenly remembered Yue Qing's words.

——There is a new policy this year that requires housing and household registration for high school students. Did you know?

Xu Weixi put down the tableware, patted the man, and said softly,

"Can I have one?"

The man quickly handed the flyer and business card to Xu Weixi, and wanted to leave her mobile phone number, but Xu Weixi politely refused.

Wang Lingling looked at her in surprise.

"You want to buy a house?"

Xu Weixi flipped through it carefully and replied, "Let's take a look. If what he said is true, it's worth investing in."

the other side,

An Yuchen looked at his friend who had been pestering him for several days, with a helpless look on his face.

"Child, it's not a toy."

Gu Mochuan said unreasonably, "Just tell me whether you want to lend it to me or not."

"..."

Gu Mochuan saw that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately played the emotional card.

"You let me look after the kids when you were traveling, so why can't you lend me your money to chase your wife now?"
