“When our family moves there in the future, we won’t be so cramped anymore. Oh, and we’re going to move to the new house very soon. Then it will be much more convenient for me to go to school.”

Gu Jinlin turned to look at Zhou Ping. “Mother, is the house almost ready? Have you bought all the furniture? When are we moving in?”

Actually, Gu Yundong’s house had been assigned long ago.

He had been transferred to the capital to work. Since Gu Yundong had worked for so many years and held an important position, his house had been arranged the moment his position was confirmed.

After Gu Qingyao had married into the Mo family, the Gu family’s status had been bolstered by the Mo, Qiao, and Qin families. Now their position was completely different. They had risen to become one of the most important families in the capital.

Gu Yundong had ridden on the respect that the Gu family had garnered after Gu Qingyao’s marriage into the Mo family. In that way, he had moved to the capital to take up his position without much issue. Some people were very quick the see which way the wind was blowing and had naturally treated Gu Yundong very well.

Like Gu Jinlin and Gu Jinxuan, he was a civil servant. He had filled the position for many years, and it was a fairly good one. It was just that he was in school now, and he had stopped advancing for the moment.

Gu Yundong had four children so when the houses were assigned, he had been given a large one.

One hundred eighty square feet and not too far from Beijing University. The layout of the house was excellent, with several balconies. It was adequate to meet the needs of Gu Yundong’s family.

If he had not been from the Gu family, he certainly would not have been assigned such a good house.

Which was why they said they owed it to Gu Qingyao.

The house had been painted and repaired. But there was not much furniture, and they had to buy some before moving in.

After Gu Yundong got the house, he had handed it over to Zhou Ping to manage.

The house had to be cleaned and furniture had to be bought. They could only move in when everything was ready.

Zhou Ping was livid with rage. She had only asked Gu Qingyao for a car, and she was trying to get rid of them?

How dare she?

This was the Gu house, and they were all members of the Gu family. Even Gu Qingyao, who was already married, came back frequently to stay. Why couldn’t the sons and grandsons of the Gu family live here too?

“What house? I’m just worried that going to school will tire you out. What a waste of my good intentions! Hmph!”

With that, Zhou Ping flicked her sleeve and went upstairs to her room.

Before she left, she cast a glance at Gu Jinxuan.

Gu Jinxuan caught it. He pursed his lips but kept quiet.

Gu Yundong frowned when he saw that Zhou Ping was leaving just like that. “Hey, hey… where are you going? Hey…”

Zhou Ping did not turn back but went straight upstairs.

Gu Yundong did not know what to say. “What’s the matter with your mother? Why is she acting crazy today? We’ve been here for so long, and it was even hotter before this! She wasn’t worried about you then.”

Gu Yundong was mocking her.

But Gu Jinlin sensed that something was amiss.

He forced a smile and said, “Perhaps Mother’s conscience has pricked her recently. She is finally showing some affection for her oldest son, hahahaha!”

Gu Jinlin made some comic remarks to change the subject, and the conversation drifted to other topics.

Of course, Gu Qingyao did not bring it up again.

After lunch, Gu Yundong saw that it was time and got ready to go to work.

Gu Jinlin suddenly came over and whispered, “Father, I don’t have classes in the afternoon. I’ll go and take a look at the new house. Give me the keys.”

When the house was assigned, the keys had been given to Gu Yundong. Later on, Gu Yundong had given Zhou Ping a set of keys so she could clean the house. Gu Jinlin, Gu Jinxuan and the others had been staying at the Gu house. They had only glanced at the house when it was first assigned but had not asked for the keys.

Gu Yundong was taken aback but silently gave him the key.

Gu Jinlin smiled and said, “Don’t tell my mother! Or she might think I don’t trust her and I’m springing a surprise check on her!”
