Mr. Zhang seemed to be thinking about something.
"Is it next door to the Sui family's old house?"
He looked at Sui Min again and said.
"I remember there was a courtyard house with three entrances and four sides next to your old house. Wasn't that where the Xia family lived before? Then they all moved away, and the place became empty. I heard a while ago that the yard next to your old house was bought by a mysterious person. Is this person Wenwen?"
Sui Min said with a smile.
"Yes, it was Miss Zhang who bought it. Ever since Grandpa Xia and his family moved out, the house has been empty. We were surprised when we first heard someone next door had bought it. Everyone was curious about who the new neighbor was, so I paid a visit right after Miss Zhang moved in. Luckily, Miss Zhang didn't blame me for being so presumptuous."
Zhang Wenyu also said.
"Ms. Sui is lively and enthusiastic. I'm very happy to have made such a friend just after arriving in City B."
After they chatted for a while, other guests in the banquet hall also noticed Mr. Zhang and ran over to chat with him.
Mr. Zhang straightened his clothes and picked up his cane.
"I have something else to do. I won't chat with you anymore. Let's get together next time."
The bodyguards cleared the way, and the handsome guy named Huai Xu stood next to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's aura of a superior was fully revealed, and wherever he went, the guests automatically moved aside to make way.
Mr. Zhang and his group left the banquet hall without any obstruction.
Only then did these people come to their senses and felt a little annoyed that they had not discovered Mr. Zhang earlier. If they had discovered that Mr. Zhang was also in the banquet hall earlier, perhaps they could have talked to him.
Unable to get in touch with Mr. Zhang, everyone looked at Sui Min and Zhang Wenyu, hoping to get some information from them.
Most of the people present knew the eldest daughter of the Sui family, but some felt that the young face next to Sui Min was unfamiliar. When they were hesitating, someone recognized Zhang Wenyu's identity.
Mr. Zhang, Ms. Sui, does Mr. Zhang have any news to share? Tell us!
"Mr. Zhang? Which Mr. Zhang? Could it be Mr. Zhang's junior?"
Others who didn't know Zhang Wenyu were talking to each other in surprise, and someone around who knew Zhang Wenyu's identity explained.
"It's not the Zhang family from City B, it's Ms. Zhang from City S. She's the mysterious buyer who spent a fortune at the auction a while ago. Her newly opened company is really popular these days. Who hasn't heard of Boss Zhang from City S lately?"
"Is this little girl Mr. Zhang from S City? She's so young?"
"Yeah! I was also shocked when I first found out, but Assistant Yang personally introduced him as their boss. Assistant Yang can't be lying, right?"
While these people were still talking, Sui Min pulled Zhang Wenyu and slipped out.
In a rest area in the garden, Zhang Wenyu and Sui Min sat on woven rocking chairs, leisurely enjoying the moon.
Sui Min looked at Zhang Wenyu with curiosity.
"That mysterious Mr. Zhang from S City, are you really you?"
Zhang Wenyu touched his nose and said with an awkward laugh.
"If there's no other Mr. Zhang from S City, it should be me."
Sui Min looked at Zhang Wenyu in surprise.
"Everyone's been talking about Boss Zhang lately, wondering if he'd come to City B for the banquet. Unexpectedly, Boss Zhang has already arrived and lives next door to me! So when did you and Boss Zhang meet? Are you related?"
Zhang Wenyu quickly waved his hands and said with a helpless smile.
"No, no, it's just a coincidence. Zhang is a common surname, and there are so many people with the surname Zhang in China. There are also many people with the surname Zhang in the banquet hall today. Could they all be relatives of Mr. Zhang? I met Mr. Zhang when I was visiting a museum some time ago. I always thought he was an ordinary old man. It was only today that I found out that the casual and amiable old man was actually the Mr. Zhang in the rumors. I was shocked."
Sui Min laughed.
"Mr. Zhang's personality in private is indeed different from what he shows in formal occasions. He's more like a neighborhood grandfather. When I first met Mr. Zhang in a meeting as a child, he scared me to tears. By the way, you've been calling me Miss Sui too, which sounds awkward. Just call me Minmin. Can I call you Wenwen?"
Zhang Wenyu nodded.
"Sure, my friends also call me Wenwen."
The two were talking when they heard hurried footsteps from the side. The newcomers seemed not to notice that someone was there and started arguing in front of the sculpture behind the rocking chair.
The sound of a man and a woman arguing reached Zhang Wenyu and Sui Min's ears clearly. They huddled in their rocking chairs, staring at each other awkwardly, unsure whether to remind the other of their presence.
At this time, the man and woman were completely unaware of the situation and were still accusing each other fiercely.
The man's voice was filled with displeasure.
"I told you to hurry up, but you kept dawdling and wasting time. Now the person we were looking for has already left. I wonder how you're going to explain this to my uncle when you get back!"
The woman retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Dressing up doesn't take time! Do you want me to wear nothing but sportswear to the party? Besides, who told you not to tell me earlier that I was going to the party tonight? If you had told me earlier, wouldn't I have started packing earlier?!"
The man's voice suddenly rose.
"You're still blaming me?! You spend an hour just styling your hair, couldn't you just do a simple comb? Why did you have to hire someone to style it? And what about clothes? You have so many dresses in your closet, you can wear any of them, why do you have to wear the latest style?! If you hadn't insisted on waiting for someone to deliver the dress, would we be late?!"
Women are no less irritable than men.
"I packed up quickly, okay? We just left to find the person we were looking for. If we headed this way right after I finished, we wouldn't be late! And it's you who had to go to the bathroom right before leaving. Couldn't you have gone while I was putting on makeup? Why did you have to wait until I was leaving?!"
"you!"
The man's voice paused, and then he retorted sharply.
"Stop putting the blame on others! Can you blame me for something like this?!"
Zhang Wenyu and Sui Min hid in their rocking chairs, covering their mouths and trying hard to stifle laughter. Sui Min lay on her lap, her body shaking with laughter, gritting her teeth to control herself from making any sound.
Zhang Wenyu pinched her thigh and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but she felt that the two people's voices sounded vaguely familiar.
Just when I was about to listen more carefully, the quarreling sounds suddenly disappeared.
The garden was unusually quiet, with only the sound of cars passing by outside the wall and laughter coming from the hall not far away.
Zhang Wenyu reached out and pushed Sui Min, who had not noticed anything unusual. Sui Min looked up at Zhang Wenyu in confusion.
At this time, the sound of leather shoes stepping gently on the lawn was heard from behind, coming from far away and soon coming to the back of the rocking chair.
"Who! Who is eavesdropping?"
Zhang Wenyu and Sui Min were about to stand up to check when a questioning voice came and a silver-gray figure suddenly turned around from behind.
Zhang Wenyu and Sui Min happened to be face to face with the visitor.
