Cassie hung his head.
In his mind, the image of Zhuang Xiuya baring her teeth and cursing Gu Xinzhou as a slut was deeply etched!
Cassie forced back the urge to rush up and tear this old woman's mouth apart, and stood his ground.
And McDull understood nothing.
He politely put down his little bowl and waved his little arm at the next-door yard, "Hello! Nice to meet you, please take good care of me!"
Cassie stopped him, "McDull, come, let's eat barbecue."
McDull then held his bowl again, waiting for his own barbecue.
Across the way.
Zhuang Xiuya was in a very good mood!
Although her daughter couldn't marry Song Zhen, it was still very good to marry into the Lin Family!
Moreover, the Lin Family attached great importance to this marriage.
Lin Jinluan not only promised to give Gu Xinfei this villa as an engagement gift but also agreed to make an effort to help Gu Xinfei take back what originally belonged to her, the Gu Family business.
Zhuang Xiuya, feeling very pleased, walked into the villa while laughing in response to Lin Yuexi's invitation, "My, the kid across the street is so adorable!
You can tell his daddy and mommy must be outstanding!
Such good manners!"
Lin Yuexi seized every opportunity to show off and please, "Exactly!
This community might be a bit old and is not a new development, but the location and market value are second to none in City B.
Anyone who has the money to buy here, and move in, is certainly no ordinary person."
Zhuang Xiuya's gaze flickered, and she glanced at Gu Xinfei unconsciously, "Xinfeng, later we should walk around the community more, work on building relationships; it might be useful in the future."
Just like before, in the community where the Gu Family lived, Zhuang Xiuya had scoped out all the neighbors.
She was very good at socializing, skilled at engaging and winning people's hearts.
Gu Xinfei nodded, "Sure. Later I'll buy some fruit and send it over to them, saying we've just moved in and to please look after us."
Zhuang Xiuya was very satisfied, "Hmm."
Cassie watched as the three of them entered the villa.
He furrowed his brow, bent down, and whispered to McDull, who was eating barbecue, "Do you know who they are?"
McDull lifted his innocent big eyes, "Huh?"
Cassie sighed softly, "Don't interact with them, understand? They are bad people who bully your mommy! Especially that old woman who greeted you; she insulted your mommy, and it was really nasty!"
McDull suddenly turned his head back!
His gaze towards the opposite villa changed conspicuously!
Sharp, angry, cold!
Good, since they've moved in across the street on their own, don't blame him for being impolite!
He would definitely treat them properly, and avenge his mommy!

Gu Xinzhou woke up.
The room was pitch black.
After a moment of panic, she calmed down and reached for the bedside.
A small desk lamp turned on, its faint glow illuminating the space.
Sitting up, she was somewhat speechless; she had only been taking a nap, so how had she slept until it was dark outside?
Song Zhen and Gu Yibo were discussing things on the sofa.
Seeing her come out, both men stood up, their gazes unanimously locking onto her.
Gu Yibo looked at her with adoration.
Song Zhen's eyes were tender with suppressed guilt.
Both of them said in unison, "Zhouzhou, you're awake?"
Gu Xinzhou forced a smile, her demeanor embarrassed, her voice gentle, "How did I sleep for so long? It's already 7:30, and it's completely dark outside!"
Gu Yibo, "It's okay, you've been working hard, it's good to rest a bit more."
"Shall we eat hotpot?" Song Zhen stepped forward.
He affectionately draped his arm over her shoulders, leading her forward.
