On the other side, Xu Huayang looked at the bunch of keys on the table, feeling a little unhappy.
When I gave the key away in the first place, it was because of some ulterior motives and also because I wanted to drive a wedge between the two of them.
At the same time, I also want to tell Sophie that Zhao Dong can’t even give you a decent house. What ability can he have to give you happiness in the future?
The result was unexpected. Before noon, the key was returned.
He couldn't understand. With Aunt Mei's methods, this house was a help in times of need for Sophie. Why didn't she accept it?
Suspicious, he dialed the phone.
It took Sophie a while to get through, "Sorry, I was busy with something just now."
"It's okay. The secretary just told me that you returned the key?"
"Yes, thank you for your kindness. I have found a place to live."
"Found it? Where is it?"
"Zhao Dong has an old house in Jiangbei District. The house is quite spacious. I will move there to cope with it for a few days."
Xu Huayang almost jumped, "Jiangbei District? Sophie, are you mistaken, what the hell is that place? How can you live in that kind of place? Does Aunt Mei know? No, I don't agree!"
Sophie reminded over the phone, "Huayang, I hope you can understand the relationship between us. This matter is a decision made by Zhao Dong and I. She has no control over it, and neither do you."
Xu Huayang apologized hastily, "I didn't mean that."
"I know, you don't need to explain."
"You don't know. You don't even know who lives in Jiangbei District. The people who live there are all poor people, gangsters, scoundrels, and lowlifes! How can you go to live in a place like that?"
Sophie frowned, "If I remember correctly, you seem to be from Jiangbei District too?"
Xu Huayang was stunned on the spot. Sophie was right. He did come from Jiangbei District. This was also the last thing he wanted to mention to others.
Over the years, especially after his career became successful, he has been deliberately avoiding this matter.
Even he had almost forgotten it. After Sophie's reminder, he finally remembered that he, like Zhao Dong, was also an aborigine from Jiangbei District.
Xu Huayang was stunned for a moment and then admitted, "Yes, that's right! So I know better than anyone else how dirty that place is and how shameless the people there are!"
Sophie was bored. Unlike Aunt Mei, she didn't have a strong sense of family status.
Just like back then, she did not feel contempt for Xu Huayang because of his background.
On the contrary, he himself tried his best to conceal his past background.
Sophie did not deny that the environment in Jiangbei District was a little dilapidated, but it was not as bad as Xu Huayang said.
On the contrary, she liked the simplicity and enthusiasm there.
Let me just say that last time I had dinner downstairs at Dong Zhao’s house, many neighbors came over to toast me.
She had never felt that kind of deep friendship between neighbors.
Take urban areas as an example. Many people have lived in buildings all their lives and may not even know the last names of their neighbors across the door.
If there is really trouble, no one will try to help. Instead, they will follow the principle of doing less than doing more, watching the fun and listening to the jokes.
But it was different there. That day, some gangsters went to the store to cause trouble.
Those uncles and aunts who stood up immediately made Sophie feel very cute.
Otherwise, she would not agree to Zhao Dong today and go back to her old house with him to transition for a while.
