Chapter 581: From Now On, We’re Neighbors (1)

The duo exchanged a look and after Zuo Si closed the door to her apartment, walked into Xu Weilai’s apartment with her stilettos on as if she was entering her own house. She then walked right up to Xu Weilai and stopped before her.

Zuo Si inspected Xu Weilai keenly before she asked, “We met yesterday, remember?”

Although Zuo Si’s behaviour was rather abrupt and rude, one would inevitably overlook this because of how powerful her aura was.

Xu Weilai did not expect Zuo Si to take the initiative to greet her and, being uncertain of what to expect from Zuo Si, she faced her calmly and nodded gently before she replied, “Yes, I remember you, Miss Zuo.”

“Are you alright after returning home yesterday?”Zuo Si inquired lazily.

Xu Weilai nodded and assured, “I’m fine.”

Perhaps because Xu Weilai seemed too indifferent, Zuo Si’s lips curled up into a smile. Without saying anything else, she scanned the room with her eyes and her emotions were unreadable. Eventually, her gaze landed on Xu Weilai’s face again and she asked, “Do you live here?”

Xu Weilai was actually still undecided about whether she would want to live here.

Firstly, she found it inappropriate and stressful to live here if this was her supervisor’s home. Secondly, she does not like the idea of being neighbours with Zuo Si and to interact with her.

Without waiting to hear Xu Weilai’s reply, Zuo Si quickly extended her hand and greeted, “I live in the unit across from you. From now on, we’re neighbors, so nice to meet you.”

“I...”

However, Xu Weilai only managed to utter a word before Zuo Si’s ringing cellphone cut her off. Zuo Si then retracted her hand and took out her phone to answer the call.

“Sure, I’ll come down now.”

After hanging up the call, Zuo Si said, “See you next time.”

She then turned and strode off confidently in her stilettos before disappearing from sight.

As the clatter of Zuo Si’s stilettos gradually faded off, Xu Weilai arrived at a decision and took out her cellphone to give Qiao Chu a call.

Zuo Si’s assistant and bodyguard were already waiting for her in the car by the time she reached downstairs.

After exiting from the building, she walked over, opened the door to the back of the car and got in. After settling down and closing the door, the bodyguard started the engine and they sped off.

Wu Qin then handed a document to Zuo Si, but she simply stared out of the car window at the employees of a moving company, who were carrying potted plants into the apartment building. She grinned again before looking away.

After accepting the document from Wu Qin and reading through it, Zuo Si asked casually, “Did you manage to find out anything about the woman whom we met yesterday?”

Knowing how Zuo Si valued efficiency, Wu Qin had already stayed up to look into Xu Weilai’s background and proceeded to report about her findings with Zuo Si in detail. Eventually, she lowered her voice and moved closer to Zuo Si’s ear to utter one last piece of crucial information about Xu Weilai.

Zuo Si’s grin widened and her eyes glimmered as she remarked, “Xu Weilai huh? Interesting.”

As she spoke, she laughed again and glanced sideways at Wu Qin before she resumed, “What’s even more interesting is that she moved in today and is living in the apartment across from mine.”

Wu Qin was inevitably startled and asked in disbelief, “Are you sure? But that house...”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zuo Si cut her off and concluded, “That’s why it’s interesting.”

For a moment, Wu Qin was at a loss for words.

However, neither was Zuo Si expecting a reply from her and she quickly ended the topic and instructed, “Arrange for a meeting.”

Despite how swiftly Zuo Si jumped from one thought to another, Wu Qin managed to snap out of her daze quickly and replied, “Noted.”

...

Xu Weilai couldn’t get through to Qiao Chu via the phone, for his line was constantly engaged. With no other option, she waited for another ten minutes before she attempted to call him again. However, just when she was about to do so, she received a call from her boss.
