Back at the doorstep of their home, Du Fei unlocked the door with one hand while holding Liu Shishi’s hand with the other.
The newly confirmed couple were as sweet as sugar.
Before Du Fei could even insert the key, the door was opened from the inside.
"Ge, you're back… Ah, Shishi jie, you two!!"
The person who opened the door was Du Yunyun. Upon opening it and seeing Liu Shishi holding Du Fei’s hand, the little girl was stunned, then she shrieked with joy.
Almost instinctively, Liu Shishi prepared to let go of Du Fei’s hand, but Du Fei gently tightened his grip, holding her hand firmly.
Then, Du Fei said, "Alright, alright, stop screaming. Let's go inside first."
Upon entering the living room, Wu Chunmei, who had heard Du Yunyun’s shriek, came into the living room.
As soon as Du Fei and Liu Shishi walked in, she also saw the two holding hands at first glance.
"Ge, speaking of which, you have to thank me and Mom. If we hadn't created such a good opportunity for you today, hehe."
Du Yunyun closed the door and returned to the living room, grinning at Du Fei.
Looking at his mischievous sister, Du Fei couldn’t help but tap her little head.
Du Yunyun pouted, hands on her hips, feigning anger, "Ge! Why did you hit my head!"
"Du Fei, you too, why are you tapping Yunyun's head for no reason?"
Liu Shishi walked over and gently rubbed Du Yunyun’s head.
In fact, Du Fei hadn't used much force. He just couldn't resist "teaching her a small lesson" when he saw Du Yunyun’s mischievous appearance.
"Hmph, Shishi jie is the one who dotes on me," Du Yunyun hugged Liu Shishi back and said coyly, "Shishi jie, from now on, if my brother dares to bully me again, you have to help me."
"You little girl, when have I ever bullied you?"
Du Fei pointed at Du Yunyun, finding his sister quite something.
Wu Chunmei, watching this scene, was so happy her mouth couldn't close.
Later, the few of them sat down. Du Fei and Liu Shishi sat side by side, and he officially told his mother and sister about their relationship.
As for Liu Shishi, after the initial shyness, she had relaxed considerably by then.
"Miss Liu…"
"Auntie, you can just call me Shishi."
Liu Shishi said softly.
Wu Chunmei nodded, "Shishi, now that you're with Xiao Fei, we're family from now on. Auntie isn't very good with words, and I don't know what to say. In short, we're family, don't be a stranger, just say whatever you need to."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Having seen through the deceit of the business world and the internal rivalries at home to win their grandfather's favor, Wu Chunmei's simple and sincere words warmed Liu Shishi’s heart.
Du Yunyun also dropped her playful demeanor, her expression serious, "Shishi jie, my brother is definitely a very good boyfriend. From now on, he will surely make you happy."
Liu Shishi nodded happily.
When she subconsciously looked at Du Fei beside her, Du Fei shrugged, "I've already said everything I needed to say before, and my mom and sister have helped me fill in the gaps. So, I don't have anything else to add."
Hahaha.
For a moment, the other three burst into laughter.
…
"Ge, where did Shishi jie go?"
Du Yunyun woke up a bit late. After washing up, she came to the living room and found Liu Shishi wasn't there, so she asked curiously.
Du Fei glanced at her and said, "Your Shishi jie has some personal matters to attend to."
Liu Shishi's "personal matters" meant returning to the Liu family to pack some of her belongings.
If, before this, after her argument with her grandfather Liu Zhengnan at the company, Liu Shishi might have still held onto a sliver of hope, then after what happened at the restaurant yesterday, Liu Shishi was completely disappointed.
Since that was the case, Liu Shishi decided to move out of the Liu family villa and start her new life.
"Yunyun, don't just stand there, hurry and eat. After eating, we'll go look at houses together."
Wu Chunmei brought out the breakfast she had saved for Du Yunyun from the kitchen.
Du Yunyun looked at her mother in surprise, "Ah? Look at houses? Ge, why are we looking at houses? Aren't we living quite well here?"
"We are living quite well, but this is a rented place after all. Ge has earned some money, so he plans to buy a house for ourselves. What do you think?"
Actually, Du Fei had planned to buy a house before. However, he hadn't had the time to look, and the rented place was quite convenient, being close to Du Yunyun's school, so he wasn't in a hurry to buy.
But now, with Liu Shishi, it was a bit insufficient.
Although Du Fei and Liu Shishi had confirmed their relationship, for Liu Shishi, she would still want her own private space.
Besides, Du Yunyun was a young lady now, and it wasn't very appropriate for her to live in the same room with her mother all the time.
So, after considering it last night, Du Fei made the decision to buy a house.
"Okay, okay!"
Du Yunyun happily nodded.
Ten minutes later, the family of three, neatly dressed, went out.
Although he had decided to buy a house, Du Fei hadn't yet decided on the location.
So, after starting the car, Du Fei planned to drive around the neighborhood first, taking his mother and sister for a drive, and perhaps spotting any newly opened developments.
After all, this area wasn't too far from the city, and it was convenient for his sister's schooling. If there was a suitable house, that would be perfect.
Sitting in the spacious and comfortable Mercedes van, Du Yunyun was in an exceptionally good mood.
"Ge, look quickly, it looks like there's a new development over there. Let's go take a look."
Du Yunyun rolled down the car window and looked around. Suddenly, she spotted tall buildings in the distance and immediately pointed them out to Du Fei, who was driving.
Du Fei glanced over and then turned the car towards the direction Du Yunyun had pointed.
…
"Zhou Li, I'm telling you, why are you so stubborn?"
A woman dressed flamboyantly poked the head of the woman in front of her.
Zhou Li, being poked, didn't dare to retort and could only lower her head.
"I'm telling you, tomorrow is the last day of your three-month probation. If you still can't sell a single unit, then you can pack your bags and leave!"
The flamboyant woman withdrew her hand and crossed her arms.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li immediately looked up, "Sister Ru, please, I'm counting on this job to pay for my brother's tuition. Please be kind and don't fire me."
"Hmph, what does your brother's tuition have to do with me?" Sister Ru snorted. "I told you before, go back and dress up nicely, dress like me, and flirt a little with the clients. Then, why would you worry about not selling houses?"
"Sister Ru, I can't wear that kind of clothing. The thought of wearing it makes me feel uncomfortable all over."
It could be said that Zhou Li had a decent figure and appearance, but she dressed in a very rustic way.
Sister Ru had given her an OL set before, with a very tight top and a skirt that barely reached her thighs. As soon as Zhou Li got it, she felt she couldn't wear it.
"Tch, are you proud of being so prim and proper? Fine then, you prim and proper person can get ready to leave."
After saying that, Sister Ru didn't even glance at Zhou Li and left, her stiletto heels clicking with every step.
