The Male Lead’s Villainess Stepmother

Chapter 257 (2)

They were looking at the area that Yang Zifeng lived in. That was his suggestion. His reason being that if they were going to move, might as well move to the same area as him. It’d make it easier for them to help out each other.

Yan Shuyu agreed with him wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, the two 2-bedroom places that they have looked at were not suitable. This area was already expensive and the district that Yang Zifeng resided in was the worst of it all. The rent there was higher than the other districts around.

The rent there was higher than what Yan Shuyu was comfortable with.

Yang Zifeng understood her situation and also agreed with her assessment. “You are right. This area does have a lower benefit-cost ratio. Even at 80 sf you still only get 2 bedrooms. That’s excessive for you. We should look at something smaller.”

Checking out the time, Yan Shuyu said regretfully. “It’s getting late. I don’t think we have enough time to check out the district next to here. Maybe tomorrow?”

“Sure. I am free tomorrow as well,” said Yang Zifeng before he warmly extended an invitation to her, “My place is right ahead. Why don’t you c’mon up and have some water. Yuanbao and Xiao Yi’s faces are red from all the walking.”

As energetic as Zhang Yuanbao and Zhou Yi were, they were still tired from all the walking. Yan Shuyu gave it some thought. The boss said he was very busy today and wouldn’t be able to come over till around 6 o’clock. Liu Ci had some personal matters today, so Yuanbao was done by 4 o’clock and Yan Shuyu got to take off earlier as well. She had declined the boss’s offer to send his chauffeur over to pick them up as she figured she’d use the extra time to look at apartments.

It was already 5:30 PM. Yan Shuyu figured that she could go and hang out with her little buddy for about half an hour. She accepted Yang Zifeng’s invitation and walked forward with one kiddo in each hand.

The “up ahead” mentioned by Yang Zifeng was still a bit of distance away. They walked through a garden and then there was a lake. There were many beautiful structures surrounding the lake including rock gardens. The buildings were farther apart from each other, allowing for better lights and privacy. These apartments were almost like single-family houses, except that they could have more floors.

As there was more space around the single-family homes, there were also more parking spots. Yan Shuyu could see Manager Yang’s car parked outside from afar. And there was a white BMW parked next to it.

“My place is right over there. Lower floor,” said Yang Zifeng as he pointed at the building across from his car. He then studied the BMW for a few seconds. It wasn’t that he was envious of it. His family has a few BMWs and Mercedes as well, but they were meant for business use so he much preferred to drive his own little beat-up car.

He looked at the BMW some more and said definitively, “I don’t think I have seen this car before. The license plate is unfamiliar as well. Am I about to get a new neighbor?”

Yan Shuyu was thoroughly impressed. “You could tell that too? Bro, you surely are awesome.”

And his mightiness did not stop there. He could further deduct more information from the color and accessories from the car. “I am guessing that the owner of this car is a female, in her mid-thirties. Hmm, most likely a career woman…”

What he said earlier was at least sensible and logical. When it came to the car owner, Yan Shuyu just assumed that he was rambling now. Anyways, she was bored, so she entertained him by going along with it.

Low and behold, Yang Zifeng wasn’t even done talking when the car owner walked out of the building. Exactly like Yang Zifeng had predicted, she was an elite career woman in her thirties.

And just how did Yan Shuyu know that? Because, coincidentally, this was Secretary Lu. Naturally, the secretary of the boss would doubtless be an elite.
