Qin Wenze was a bit stunned by this.
"You’re saying Gao Lan has her sights set on your wife’s courtyard house? That... that can’t be, can it?"
Qin Wenhao sneered. "She showed up at our door yesterday, so how is it not possible? First, she tried to get my wife to sell the courtyard house to her. When my wife refused, she turned around and asked to borrow it. That’s a house my wife bought with her own money, not a gift from the Qin family. Tell her to drop those ideas."
With that said, he couldn’t be bothered to add another word and simply turned and left.
Left standing there, Qin Wenze’s expression turned exceptionally grim as he processed what his brother had just said.
He immediately headed straight home.
Gao Lan was surprised to see him back so soon after he had just left.
Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she noticed his grim expression.
Moreover, his eyes were glaring at her in anger.
This made her panic.
"Wenze, you... why are you back? Did... did you forget something at home?"
"Did you go looking for Fu Mingxue when you were out yesterday?"
The moment Gao Lan heard this, her expression changed.
"What, did she run and tattle to you?"
’What is with this Fu Mingxue?’
’She’s supposed to be an intellectual, so why does she keep resorting to such petty tricks?’
"Fu Mingxue is far too busy; she has no time to come see me. Don’t change the subject. I’m asking you—what was that all about yesterday, trying to buy the courtyard house from her? You even asked to borrow it?"
"How did you have the nerve to even ask?"
Gao Lan laughed in exasperation. "And why wouldn’t I have the nerve to ask? It’s not like I’d be living in her courtyard house for free. A house needs people in it to feel alive! Besides, her courtyard is just sitting empty. What’s wrong with her lending it to us?"
"I was only thinking of our family when I considered buying her house. After all, I want to bring Yueyue and Qiaoqiao here to live with us, and her courtyard is bigger—plenty of room for everyone. Plus, if our families are neighbors, the kids can play together, right?"
Qin Wenze couldn’t believe how thick-skinned she was, to actually go and find Fu Mingxue about this.
He sneered. "Buy her courtyard house? Do you even have the money for it?"
