"Oh, now you understand! There's a main street right behind this wall."
The man smiled at Xia Lan and patted the wall behind him.
Xia Lan raised an eyebrow.
"Is this house yours?"
Xia Lan looked at the house and asked the man softly.
Qin Yu stood beside Xia Lan, looking at the house in front of him. He examined it carefully for a while and then raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, I'm telling you, this house is my family's heirloom. I just took it back and I'm planning to turn it into two shops to rent out."
The man laughed.
"If you like it, I'll give you a discount!"
The man smiled at Xia Lan.
"Oh, so you haven't even set up a shop yet! Open the door so I can see inside..."
Xia Lan smiled at the man.
"Keys, oh dear! I forgot my keys! I'm so sorry..."
The man patted himself down; he hadn't brought his keys.
"Isn't this your house? Why didn't you bring your keys?"
Xia Lan looked at the man and asked.
"I just happened to be out buying breakfast! I didn't expect to run into you."
The man's eyes darted around, and he smiled at Qin Feixue.
"Then I'll wait here for you? You go get the key and open the door?"
"I need to take a look inside and see how we're going to set up this shop."
Xia Lan smiled at the man.
"Don't worry, once I find a place I like, I'll definitely rent it from you."
"How about twenty yuan a month?"
As soon as Xia Lan mentioned twenty, the man's eyes lit up immediately.
"In that case, wait a moment, I'll go find the key."
"Wait for me here! Don't go! I'll be right back..."
The man shouted at Xia Lan, then turned and ran outside.
Xia Lan and Qin Yu exchanged a glance.
Xia Lan leaned against Qin Yu, waiting for the man.
Do you think he might actually have the key?
Xia Lan asked with a light laugh.
"It would be a miracle if he were talented. He'd probably bring a locksmith with him and say he'd lost his key."
Qin Yu held Xia Lan and analyzed the situation.
"That's amazing. If I hadn't looked at it carefully, I really wouldn't have recognized it as Grandpa Du's house."
Xia Lan looked at the house behind her. This was Du Wenqing's house. The man had led her to the back alley, and she didn't recognize it at first glance.
"Who do you think is behind this?"
"Or is it just this man himself?"
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu, wanting him to guess.
Qin Yu smiled and glanced at Xia Lan.
Don't you already have the answer in your heart?
Xia Lan remained silent.
"I just don't want to think about her, don't I?"
"Even after all this, you're still fixated on it!"
Xia Lan didn't want to mention Du Juan. She heard that Du Juan had been ridiculed by the neighbors because of this and now didn't even dare to leave her house.
Because of Du Wenqing's incident, Du Juan's past was exposed.
Now she's known as an unfilial daughter.
Betraying his father, coveting wealth and status...
These words have all become Du Juan's labels.
Xia Lan sighed softly.
She really didn't want it to be like this, but Du Juan is just...
They simply won't listen to anyone's advice.
Having been subjected to PUA for years, my mind is so severely damaged that I'm completely unable to wake up.
Even now, I still feel that I did nothing wrong.
"We're here, we're here! Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Well, I couldn't find the key, so I called a locksmith to help me open the door."
The man came running up, panting, with a locksmith behind him.
The master looked at the door and was about to go forward to start working when Qin Yu stopped him.
"You said you lost your keys?"
Xia Lan looked at the man and asked, and the man nodded.
"Then how can you prove you have the key to this house? There's always a spare key to the house; it's impossible to only have one!"
"You brought a locksmith with you right away, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Xia Lan's words made the man's face darken.
"How dare you speak like that, comrade! It's my own house, how can it not be mine?"
The man glared at Xia Lan with hostility.
"Isn't it normal to lose your key if you don't have it?"
"Then tell me, what's the layout of your house, and what's inside..."
Xia Lan asked the man to describe what was inside the house.
The man paused, having no idea what was inside.
However, this did not stump the man, who immediately launched into a long explanation.
"wrong."
Xia Lan looked at the man and rejected his words.
"In the courtyard inside the gate, there is a grape trellis, a stone table, and two deck chairs."
Xia Lan said indifferently.
"Hey, are you the landlord or am I? What are you doing, interrupting me like that?"
The man glanced at Xia Lan speechlessly, thinking she was just looking for trouble.
"Whose house is this?"
Lu Wu walked over carrying the fish, looked at the man, raised an eyebrow, and asked.
"It's...my house..."
The man glanced at Lu Wu, whose imposing aura made him somewhat afraid, especially since Lu Wu was staring straight at him, which made him feel uneasy.
"When did it become your house?"
Lu Wu walked to the back door and glanced at his master.
The master saw him take out the key, and the next second, Lu Wu opened the door.
"Say it again, this is your house?"
When Lu Wu said this, he glanced at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan chuckled.
"this……"
"What's going on?"
The master was also dumbfounded and turned to look at the man.
