The room was deserted.
The bedroom door was closed and snoring could be heard from inside.
Xu Shan was a little embarrassed.
"My dad has been so busy with company matters lately that he hasn't had much rest."
Wen Xi smiled and said nothing.
The two of them cooked some simple meals together and prepared to take them to the shop to eat with Lan Yun.
"Dad, I went to bring Mom some food. Yours is on the table. Eat it while it's hot."
"Um."
This time Xu Dekai responded from inside.
On the way to the shop, Wen Xi bought a lot of fruits and cooked food.
A painting that was previously put on consignment in the shop was just sold last night. Lan Yun immediately transferred the money to her and refused to accept the agency's money. She had no choice but to express her gratitude in other ways.
After dinner, Wen Xi played for a while and then said goodbye.
The bus stop was right at the entrance of the community. She and Xu Shan were walking back while chatting when they saw a man and a woman walking towards them from a distance.
"Dad, Aunt Diao!"
Xu Shan saw the two of them clearly and greeted them hurriedly.
Before Xu Dekai could say anything, the woman standing next to him spoke first.
"Hey, isn't this Shanshan? Are you going to bring food to your mother?"
"Yes, Aunt Diao." Xu Shan nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Xu Dekai, "Dad, where are you going?"
"There's a water pipe leak in your Aunt Diao's house. I'll go help her check it out." Xu Dekai said calmly.
"I'm sorry, Shanshan, I have to trouble your father again. You don't think my aunt is too much trouble, do you?" Diao Ying looked at Xu Shan with a smile.
He said sorry, but there was no regret in his eyes.
On the contrary, Xu Shan was embarrassed by her question and smiled shyly: "How could that be, Aunt Diao?"
"That's good. We'll be leaving first. The water pipe is leaking badly and we're waiting for your dad to fix it."
"Okay, go quickly, or the water will flood into the house and cause trouble."
Xu Shan had no doubt about it.
Wen Xi looked at the woman who was walking away with her hips twitching, thinking deeply.
"Is this woman familiar with your family?"
"Well, Aunt Diao and my mom run a business on the same street. We used to live in the same complex and were neighbors."
"Neighbor?"
"yes."
Wen Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
I remember hearing Aunt Lan say in my previous life that Xu Dekai divorced her while her daughter was still alive, and then left the country with his transferred assets and his extramarital lover. It was only during the divorce process that she discovered that the lover was her former neighbor.
Could this Diao Ying be Xu Dekai’s lover?
When the two of them were walking together just now, they were very close to each other, and it didn't look like they had an ordinary relationship.
"Is there no property management in the complex where she lives now?"
"Of course, Aunt Diao lives in a better place than us now."
"Then why didn't she ask the property management to fix her leaking pipe? Isn't it too far away to ask your dad?"
"Maybe he's used to asking my dad for help. When we were neighbors, he always helped me with things like changing light bulbs and unclogging drains."
"Does your mother know this?"
"I know. When my mom heard that Aunt Diao was divorced and single, she felt sorry for her and often bought goods from her shop to help with her business. She also asked my dad to help if he could, because it's not easy for a woman to make a living out there on her own."
"Are you still at ease with them being alone like this?"
Thinking of what happened in his previous life, Wen Xi spoke frankly.
"Huh? That shouldn't be a big deal. We used to be neighbors, and we still run businesses on the same street. Mom says a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, so if you can help, then help."
Xu Shan didn't care at all.
She is just a high school student and doesn't know much about matters between men and women, so how could she think so much?
However, Wenxi is no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
She was reborn, and her soul was already in her 20s.
