When Su Liping caught sight of her daughter, she broke out into a smile. “Zi, you’re back!”

Seemed like she didn’t have to move anymore. This was exactly the reason why she brought her daughter here despite knowing that she would bring trouble for the Lus. No matter what her Zi did, with her around, the Lus would not cause too much trouble for Zi either.

She pretended as though she was anxious. “What happened? Did something go wrong with the new place?”

Yan Zi furrowed her brows in displeasure. “They had initially agreed to hand over the place today. But when I arrived, they changed their minds at the last minute. I garner that they wanna increase the price.”

“How could they do that?!” Su Liping’s face was filled with infuriation and helplessness, like a petite wife that has just been aggrieved.

Shi Guang looked at them skeptically, clearly able to tell that they were both acting and singing to the same tune. She wondered if Chief Lu would…

Before she even finished her train of thought, Chief Lu’s voice rang out for her, “Shi Guang!”

“Yes, daddy!” Shi Guang bolted upright like a well-trained soldier at attention.

Chief Lu was extremely pleased with Shi Guang’s reaction. No wonder Fourth would rather be an ingrate and insist on marrying her no matter what.

Not bad! When she was getting along with him, she was always to the point without any additional pandering like those conniving women out there. Her character was also upright, unlike some of the lasses out in the world these days… By instinct, his gaze moved over and glanced at Yan Zi at the side.

He then turned back to Shi Guang. “Go and settle this matter!”

That wasn’t a request, it was an order!

Chief Lu was someone who was used to giving off orders. He did not care about the methods, merely the outcome.

After handing down that order, he turned around and left without saying anything more, and Shen Lingshuang followed suit as well.

Shi Guang’s dangling heart was finally set at ease. At the same time, she could not help but praise this tiger of a father-in-law in her heart.

But thereafter, something struck her… Something was not right—why was she the one to settle this?

No wonder no one wanted to call him dad and would rather refer to him as Chief Lu—each time he spoke, it was really as though he was a superior pumping down orders.

Shi Guang glanced over at Yan Zi. At that moment, she was glaring at the back view of Chief Lu and Shen Lingshuang leaving, her eyes filled with venom and hatred.

Shi Guang was stunned for a moment.

Realizing Shi Guang’s gaze instantly, Yan Zi’s lips curled into a smile before turning over to look at her.

Faced with her smiling face now, Shi Guang truly thought for a moment that she might have been mistaken. She chuckled out as well, “Miss Yan, could you explain the situation?”

Yan Zi looked at her with a scrutinizing stare. “Haven’t I already explained earlier? The other party is suddenly unwilling to sell to us.”

“Have you guys signed a contract?” Under that cheery demeanor, Shi Guang could sense a trace of malice. Although, she did not know if it were her imagination.

“Last minute contract.”

“Alright, I got it!”

Shi Guang did not explain how she was going to settle the issue as well as she smiled and walked away.

She could sense a burning gaze that was boring a hole in her back. Curious to see whether it was the same hateful look she had shot at Chief Lu earlier, Shi Guang could not help but suddenly turn around.

But, she was faced with Yan Zi’s smiling face.

Shi Guang smiled back too. “You guys have an early night as well. Goodnight!”

With that, she headed upstairs.

She was staying on the 2nd floor with Lu Yanchen while Chief Lu and Shen Lingshuang stayed on the 3rd floor.

Shi Guang headed for the 3rd floor straight, wanting to ask Chief Lu how she was supposed to settle the issue of Su Liping’s new place—she did not know, neither did she have the capabilities to settle it herself.
