She was learning for the first time that this was how the outside world perceived her. Seeing her silence, Zou Wenwan assumed she had hit a nerve and grew even more arrogant. "Did I say it right? If I were you, I'd cancel the engagement myself, to avoid harming yourself and others! After all, you really don't deserve Brother Jingyi! Someone like you should just find an ordinary worker!"
"If my memory serves me correctly, the Zou family hasn't moved in here yet, have they?!" So, from where did she get the nerve to be so arrogant in front of her? Although she didn't go out often, there were still quite a few people who knew her.
"Oh~ You don't need to worry about that. I'm here to see how the arrangements are going. We'll be moving in soon. You're only decent looking, but ultimately you can't compare to me!" Zou Wenwan's dislike was too obvious. Perhaps she didn't even realize that she was more jealous of Ji Xingmi, when she herself should have been the most sought-after little princess in the entire capital!
"Then, congratulations!" Ji Xingmi said and then walked away. Zou Wenwan didn't like her composed demeanor at all, as if everything she had just done was like a clown's act! She wanted to grab her to say something else, but Xiaoji once again stepped forward to block her. This time, Xiaoji was wearing a military uniform. Qi Wenwan wisely chose not to make another move. She didn't recognize Xiaoji as the one who had acted before. Kuaishu Ge.
Mantou had been hiding in the shadows, and Zou Wenwan didn't see him at all. Instead, she walked forward alone, fuming. Mantou watched her leave before following her. When they returned to the small courtyard, Ji Xingmi went back to her room. Mantou knocked on the door and entered the study to tell Elder Hua about the incident that had just occurred. Elder Hua and Gu Jingyi both frowned. Elder Hua hadn't expected the Zou family to already be causing trouble before even moving in. Gu Jingyi wondered who this person was, speaking so presumptuously. He was also a bit worried that Ji Xingmi might be angry with him because of her words.
Speaking of Zou Wenwan, she was supposed to go to the small courtyard assigned to her family, but she got lost. In fact, she had already lost her way at the small park, but she refused to ask Ji Xingmi for help. After Ji Xingmi left, she randomly chose a direction and walked. Then she saw many orderlies busy in a courtyard. She assumed this was the place assigned to her grandfather, but she didn't see her grandfather.
"Hello, excuse me, you're not allowed to enter here!" A soldier noticed Zou Wenwan, who had suddenly barged in, and said politely.
"This is my future home! Who allowed you to place these things? I don't like this at all. Can you change it? This is too far from what I envisioned! And I don't like the color of this wood. Change it." Zou Wenwan didn't care about any of that. When she came in, she saw them placing furniture. What were these? They were terrible!
"Comrade, this is not for you to decide! You might have come to the wrong place. This is Elder Hua's courtyard!"
"What Elder Hua? This is my home. This is the courtyard assigned to my grandfather. My grandfather's surname is Zou, Zou Yusheng."
"Comrade Zou, you must have come to the wrong place! I'll find someone to send you back..."
Before the young soldier could finish speaking, Zou Wenwan started to cause a scene. She didn't listen to his words at all. She had heard from her grandfather that there were no people surnamed Hua moving in recently! Moreover, her grandfather was the only person who needed to move in recently, so who else could this house belong to if not them?
Zou Wenwan had been pampered since she was a child. Later, after meeting Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen never scolded her. Naturally, she felt like a little princess. Now that so many people were denying her, she couldn't accept it. The main reason was that she didn't pay much attention to such matters, otherwise, she wouldn't have been unaware of this.
The commotion here also alerted Number One, who sent someone to investigate the cause. The person who came out was Number One's secretary, Chen Cang. Chen Cang found out what happened from a nearby young soldier before going forward to help persuade her. Before that, he had asked the soldier to go find someone from the Zou family over there. The soldier quickly ran out.
When Zou Wenwan saw Chen Cang, she instantly regained her gentle and charming demeanor and stopped arguing. Chen Cang also helped explain. It was only then that she realized she had indeed come to the wrong place. Zou Yusheng also quickly received the news and rushed over. Seeing Chen Cang there, his legs went weak. He quickly went over to greet him, "Secretary Chen, why are you here?"
"Elder Zou, I was just passing by and saw this situation, so I came to take a look!"
"A misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding! My granddaughter has been absent-minded since she was young and ran to the wrong place! I'm truly sorry!"
"Oh! I see. Elder Zou, you should have someone accompany her next time. There are several forks in the road here, and each intersection looks similar, so it's easy to get lost."
"Yes, yes, yes. Sorry for the trouble!"
"Then Elder Zou, please take her back. It's not appropriate to make a fuss here, and these young soldiers are busy."
"Hey! Wait till I deal with you when we get back! Go apologize to them!"
Zou Wenwan was unwilling and hid behind her grandfather. Zou Yusheng didn't want to embarrass her in front of others, so he could only smile apologetically at Chen Cang. Chen Cang smiled and nodded, watching them leave! It seemed there would be some trouble in the future.
After Chen Cang returned, he told Number One about the incident. Number One frowned after hearing it, but in the end, he said nothing, lit a cigarette, and continued reading the documents in his hands.
