The two of them no longer had the heart to continue looking, so Jiang Tiantian took the painting in her hand to the counter to pay.

As he took out the money, he casually asked, "Does the shopkeeper know those two people just now?"

The shopkeeper took the money, counted it, and when he saw that it was correct, he looked out the door and asked, "Are you talking about the two who just left?"

"Yes." Jiang Tiantian nodded.

"Oh, I know those two. The man is the art master Qin Yuxiang who just came back from abroad some time ago. He seems to be the cousin of Professor Wu Yuanzhe of the Academy of Fine Arts."

"Professor Wu Yuanzhe personally brought him here to pick things a few days ago. I heard that he had been abroad for many years and just returned this year. He is now appointed as an honorary professor by the Academy of Fine Arts. That woman is probably his wife. She always comes with him."

Wu Yuanzhe's cousin?

Jiang Tiantian and Cha Jiuzhang were stunned when they heard this. They didn’t expect that after turning a corner, they actually met an acquaintance?

As long as they found the person, the two of them walked out of the store calmly.

Thinking of the impossible guess in her heart, Jiang Tiantian sighed, "Do you think we should tell Ah Ku about this? But I'm afraid this may not be a happy thing for him."

Cha Jiuzhang rubbed Jiang Tiantian's head and said, "Let it be, don't force it."

"If that woman is really related to Ah Ku, I think she will find a way to find Ah Ku herself."

Jiang Tiantian nodded helplessly. This was the only way.

The two of them no longer had the mood to continue shopping on Taobao, so they simply turned back home halfway.

When Cha Jiuzhang bought the courtyard house last month, it had almost been cleaned up.

After the two came back, they tidied up a little and were ready to move in directly.

Neither of them got enough rest on the train last night, and they walked for most of the day today. Cha Jiuzhang saw that Jiang Tiantian looked tired, so he wanted to hug Jiang Tiantian and have a good nap.

However, the "crackling" sound coming from next door is really disturbing.

Cha Jiuzhang stuffed two pieces of cotton into Jiang Tiantian's ears and kissed her forehead. "You go to sleep first. I'll go over and take a look."

By the way, find out about the other party's progress and coordinate the construction time.

Jiang Tiantian nodded and let him go.

The courtyard house next door is even bigger than the one bought by Cha Jiuzhang, because the buyer next door generously bought two connected courtyards and then connected them to form one large courtyard.

At this time, there were still quite a few construction workers, and it seemed that the other party had made a lot of changes to the original design.

The gate was not closed. Cha Jiuzhang walked in, frowning all the way. This beautiful and quaint courtyard had been changed beyond recognition.

A lot of Western designs have been added, which makes it look a bit out of place and very incongruous.

But this is not his home. Cha Jiuzhang had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't really say them out loud.

When he met a construction worker and asked who was in charge, Cha Jiuzhang walked straight towards him.

The person in charge is a middle-aged man with a dark face. One look at his strong muscles shows that he has been working all year round.

In front of him, at this moment, there was a girl with her back to Cha Jiuzhang, who was talking to him.

Cha Jiuzhang took a quick look, but didn't look at the girl. He walked directly to the black-faced man and asked politely, "Hello, I'm the neighbor next door. The noise from your construction is too loud. I want to ask what time your construction usually ends, so that I can arrange for my family to avoid it."

After all, it is impossible to ask others not to work. There will be crackling and banging noises in your own home after a few days. Let's be considerate of each other.

Before the black-faced man could reply, the girl next to him exclaimed, "Cha Jiuzhang?"

Cha Jiuzhang turned his head in surprise, and when he saw the girl's appearance clearly, he immediately frowned.

This kind of luck is really unique.

Isn’t this Wei Siyu whom I met just a few days ago?

When Wei Siyu saw Cha Jiuzhang, she looked delighted, without any sense of loss as she had been humiliated by him a few days ago.

I asked excitedly, "Do you live next door? That's such a coincidence. We will be neighbors from now on."

She called her godmother who lived abroad, and she said, "Isn't he just a man? Our Siyu is so outstanding, why would he look down on her?"

"You can still get a divorce after you get married. Wait until godmother returns to China and I will help you find a solution. I will definitely make your wish come true. Just wait for godmother obediently."

She was still wondering how her godmother would help her, but she didn't expect that she and Cha Jiuzhang had such a good relationship that they became neighbors first.

Is this what is sung in traditional operas: “If we are destined to meet, we will meet no matter how far apart we are.”

From now on, she will have the advantage of being close to the man and have more chances to impress him.

She just didn't believe that after this man saw her good qualities, he would still be obsessed with a country girl who used her beauty to seduce men.

It turned out that the new neighbor was her. Cha Jiuzhang thought about it and felt a little headache.

He didn't want to have any contact with this woman who had such a good self-image and was inexplicably sociable.

Suddenly, without asking any more questions, he smiled at the dark-faced man and said, "Sorry to bother you."

Then he turned around and strode away.

Wei Siyu, however, seemed to be blind to his cold face and trotted after him, saying in a cheerful voice, "Cha Jiuzhang, we will be neighbors from now on, so we must visit each other more often."

She rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "I misunderstood you last time. I apologize to you... and your wife."

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved and we've become neighbors again, we can still be friends in the future, right?"

"When my house is renovated, I will invite you...and your wife to visit us."

Cha Jiuzhang turned his head and glanced at her. "Let's talk about it later. My wife is alone at home. I am worried, so I have to go back first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Wei Siyu was left standing at the gate, staring at him eagerly, and then she went into the gate of the next yard.

"Hmph... One day, I will make you fall at my feet." Wei Siyu secretly made up her mind.

Cha Jiuzhang passed through the hanging flower gate and came to the inner house. He saw that Jiang Tiantian was not sleeping in the house, but was leisurely sitting on a recliner in the yard.

In her hand she was holding a bunch of large green grapes, which were an improved variety that Jiang Tiantian had recently selected in the planting space. Each grape was the size of a plum.

I just had Cha Jiuzhang two days ago. It was very sweet and had a strong rose scent.

At this time, Jiang Tiantian was eating it directly with her mouth, and occasionally throwing one to the little wolf cub on the ground.

The little wolf cub seemed to have grown a lot bigger than when he saw it a few days ago, with shiny fur and sparkling eyes.

Jiang Tiantian threw a grape at it, and it jumped up suddenly and accurately caught the grape in the air.

Then, he chewed it twice and swallowed it.

Sometimes, when it bites too hard, a stream of juice will spurt out of its mouth, shocking even the little wolf cub himself.
