Today was the day when Zhou Yongliang had to visit Yuan Dongping's house. He came to Haidian alone by subway like usual. Yuan Dongping had offered to pick him up in Tongzhou, but he refused.
Zhou Yongliang didn't know what would he do if he met with Yuan Boqin in the house. They had never interacted directly before, but there was one time when Shenshi 'bullied' the skinny boy in his classroom, and the boy surely would recognize his face.
A man opened the double door for him and gave him a questioning look. He told the maid his name, and the maid quickly bowed at him and hastily let him enter the house. The attitude made him frown.
He was in the living room, and he couldn't stop himself from glancing around the room. It was a grand room with exquisite design. The architect must not be a regular person.
"My father was the one who designed this house."
