Chapter 1940 — New Neighbors
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
"Then... I'll go and get on with the preparations." Granny Sun, too embarrassed to say anything more, turned and went back into the kitchen.
Before long, the sound of a car came from beyond the courtyard. Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and Xiaoshu guessed it might be Uncle Qing and hurried out to greet him—but when they got outside, it was not Uncle Qing's car at all, but a BMW X5 M, parked right in front of the villa next door.
"Huh? Has someone moved in here?" Gu Mengyao glanced at the BMW X5 M in some surprise.
Beside the villa Wei Zhao had bought stood an empty one—the very villa with the luxurious renovations they had seen on the day they went house-hunting, something they had only learned after Wei Zhao, Gu Mengyao, and Xiaoshu moved in. On the day they bought their house, though, that villa had still been unsold; who would have thought it would sell so quickly.
The people in this BMW were probably the owners of that villa.
In any case, now that they were outside, they could hardly ignore a new neighbor—after all, they would be living side by side from now on—so Gu Mengyao decided they should still go over and say hello. It was a matter of courtesy; whether they would actually get along was a question for later.
After the BMW X5 M's engine cut out, a beautiful girl and a somewhat shy boy climbed out, and Wei Zhao's brows knitted slightly! These two were none other than the sister and brother who had wanted to rent a place at the real estate agency that day!
But they had actually rented a villa? Wei Zhao dismissed the thought at once—how could a villa with renovations like that be rented out casually? Renovations wore down with use, after all; rent out a house like that for a few years and the money sunk into the renovations would be drastically devalued—the rent would not even cover the loss.
So the only possibility for a villa like this was sale. These two siblings had actually bought a villa? The contrast from before to now was a little too stark, wasn't it? Especially that beautiful girl—the strange glint that had flickered in her eyes back at the agency was something Wei Zhao remembered vividly.
At the time Wei Zhao had not known these siblings, so he had not paid much attention to that glint in the girl's eyes. But now they had turned up here, become his neighbors, and Wei Zhao's brows knitted once more. Coincidence, or something else?
What Wei Zhao could be certain of, however, was that he had absolutely never seen this brother and sister before!
If it was a coincidence—well, when he had gone to the agency, the siblings had already been there, and his choice of that particular agency had been a spur-of-the-moment decision. There were several agencies in the area, not just that one, so to claim the siblings had been waiting for him there was far too much of a stretch.
But if it was not a coincidence, then what did it mean that they had bought the villa next to his own? That glance from the beautiful girl in particular made Wei Zhao feel something was off.
Of course, perhaps that glance had simply been because he had walked into the agency with two lovely women in tow, and perhaps they had bought a villa because they saw that he had bought one, and so followed suit.
They were a wealthy brother and sister who had chosen to rent at first to keep a low profile, but upon seeing a classmate buy a villa, they had stopped caring and bought one too. That was the most reasonable explanation.
The beautiful girl seemed to have noticed someone watching them as well. She looked over toward Wei Zhao, and when she saw him, Gu Mengyao, and Shen Yushu, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes—but a moment later she nodded to them and walked over.
