Chapter 790: Purchasing a Small Courtyard

Seeing the time was about right, Chuxue stopped lingering in bed.

After getting up and tidying up, the two went to the canteen for a meal before heading out to the office.

Worried about the house transfer, she finished her morning work as soon as she arrived at the office; just then, Sister Hong asked her to run to the bank, so she didn't even need to make an excuse.

Taking her things, she carried her bag out of the office.

Arriving at the factory gate, she saw Fu Yan Cheng standing not far away, with a "Erba" bicycle parked beside him: "How long have you been here?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled, kicked away the kickstand, and mounted the bike: "Just a little while. Are you out on leave, or do you have business to attend to?"

Seeing the cushion on the back seat, Chuxue felt a surge of sweetness in her heart. Although this man wasn't very good at coaxing people, he was quite thoughtful; even though the cushion was tied on a bit uglily, he had put in the effort: "Let's go to the bank ahead first. I'll handle my official business, and then we'll go to transfer the house."

Fu Yan Cheng received the instruction, gave a sharp push, and the bike moved forward.

The people at the bank were all acquaintances, and as big clients, they naturally didn't have to queue upon arrival; the matter was settled quickly.

Coming out of the bank, the two were just preparing to handle the house transfer when they ran into Kong Yizhang: "What are you doing here?"

Kong Yizhang gestured toward a spot not far away: "Out on a case."

Remembering something, he looked at Chuxue: "The previous case hasn't been fully closed yet, so your reward will probably have to wait a while, but rest assured, I have already submitted your merit in writing."

Hearing such good news, Chuxue naturally wouldn't push it away: "Thank you."

Only then did Kong Yizhang ask: "What are you two doing?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't hide it: "There's a small courtyard for sale not far from my home. We went to see it the day before yesterday and thought it was quite good, so we decided to buy it."

Kong Yizhang nodded in agreement: "Although your place is big enough to live in, it will indeed be cramped when the children grow up a bit. It's good to prepare a courtyard in advance when you find a suitable one. Alright, go handle your business quickly; if you drag on any longer, the Housing Management Office will close for the day."

Seeing Kong Yizhang made Chuxue think of Yao Qidong, so she tested the waters: "Where has Yao Qidong been sent?"

Hearing her mention Yao Qidong, Fu Yan Cheng thought she still held a grudge over him sending people to kidnap her: "The quarry. Once you're in there, he'll have a hard time of it."

Seeing he said nothing else, Chuxue asked: "He committed such a huge crime, but they didn't raid his family too? Isn't he always fond of raiding other people's homes?"

Fu Yan Cheng thought: This little girl is indeed one who holds a grudge and seeks revenge for the slightest slight.

Thinking of what happened at Yao Qidong's home: "His home is no different from having been raided."

"What do you mean?"

"When the Public Security Bureau went over, besides a half-dead person in the yard, his house had already been looted; only some broken junk remained inside."

By the time that person woke up, a day had passed. He confessed to some things, but the person who looted the Yao family had long since fled, and their whereabouts have not been discovered to this day."

Hearing this, Chuxue knew nothing was wrong and felt relieved.

As for that scapegoat, she would find a place to deal with him later.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that map from before; it seemed learning ancient characters would have to be put on the schedule as soon as possible.

The two soon arrived at that small courtyard.

All the items to be taken from the courtyard had already been packed up, so there was no further delay. Both parties went to the Housing Management Office; since both had acquaintances there, as the saying goes, having connections in the court makes things easier, and the house was quickly transferred to Xiao Chuxue's name.

This was thanks to the capable subordinates of the Xiao family elder, who had already changed their household registration certificates and other documents yesterday.
