“I’m worried that he’s living alone outside, and his daily life is not easy. I want to send people over to take care of him. He doesn’t want any of them but didn’t say anything. Not to mention that now, he even won’t open the door into the community for me. Usually, if I want to see him once, I would have to go to the company to make an appointment, but I might not necessarily be able to see him. You tell me, what am I raising my son for?!”
The more Xu Weiling talked, the more aggrieved and angry she became, “At my age, I just care about the child, haiz … ”
Qiao Tiancheng smiled and consoled her, “Children will grow up eventually, they won’t always listen to their parents’ arrangements. Let go when it’s time to let go ba.”
Xu Weiling shook her head, “It’s not that I don’t want to let go. I’m just worried that there’s no one to look after him, a grown man and busy working. I want to be a bit closer to him so I can check in on him and feel rest assured. So…”
She looked at Qiao Yang and then hesitatingly said, “That is … Yang Yang, you’re residing in Century Mansion, can you pass it on to auntie ma?”
She had always wanted to buy the apartment across from Gu Ye, but had not been able to find any information on the apartment owner. Only recently did she learn that the house was for sale, so she immediately wanted to buy it. In the end, before she could contact the agent, she heard the news that Qiao Yang was living in the house.
Xu Weiling’s tone was earnest and soft, especially the pair of peach blossom eyes that were smiling and not at all conceited. They were identical to Gu Ye’s eyes, making it extremely easy for one to let down their guard. But putting aside her warm smile, hidden deep within those eyes were the imperceptible indifference and detachment.
“I… ” Qiao Yang felt awkward, “I just moved in, so I can’t find another place to live for the time being. How about I ask the manager[1] if there are still any apartments for sale in residence for you. If you are in the same neighborhood, then you can go see President Gu whenever you want.”
Qiao Tiancheng laughed, “Yes ah, this is a good idea. I’m somewhat friendly with the person in charge of Century Residence’s development. I will help you ask tomorrow if there are any vacancies?”
If you don’t live on the same floor, you can’t even get on the elevator ah.
Xu Weiling thought to herself. Read this novel only on Foxaholic
Last night Qiao Tiancheng also said that Qiao Yang would not sell the apartment.
But she made the trip today, there must be something to be gained.
“Aiya~, this is the only way.” she said, “It’s just that my family Ah Ye is often not at home. I want to visit his home to have a look, and send some of his favorite food or whatnot. But I can’t even get into the neighborhood. So Yang Yang can help open the door from the inside.”
Xu Weiling was already giving in, so Qiao Yang was unable to refuse, he nodded. “Yes, if I am at home, I will open the door for you, auntie.”
As a result, he received a call from Xu Weiling just after returning home from work in the afternoon, “Yang Yang ah, I’m at the gate of Century Residence, can you give auntie the permission to go in?”
“Okay.” Qiao Yang agreed, “But President Gu is not at home right now. You can’t get in even if you come up, right?”
Xu Weiling laughed, “It’s okay, auntie knows the password to his house.”
Qiao Yang informed the property manager to give Xu Weiling permission to enter the community. After that, he felt that it was not appropriate to directly let people into Gu Ye’s house. Read this novel only on Foxaholic
He searched around in his phone and sure enough, he found Gu Ye’s electronic business card, so he tried to call it.
The hesitant voice on the other end of the phone answered, “… Hello? Who is it?” The man asked the question with a charismatic and steady voice.
“It’s … it’s me, I’m Qiao Yang.”
Qiao Yang explained, “Ju-just want to let you know, Auntie Xu is coming over to your house, and I helped give her permission for entry.”
“What?” Gu Ye’s voice paused, then immediately a little anxious, “Who gave you the permission to let her in?”

Got angry just because of that?
Gu Ye, who had always been calm and gentle, suddenly changed his tone, “You… Do you have a sense of precaution? To casually give someone permission, and it’s even someone else’s family.”
Huh?
Qiao Yang became angry, he asked rhetorically, “Auntie Xu is your own mother ah. She came to see you, yet you do not even let her into the house?”
Gu Ye said, “The person who is coming is not my mother. It’s someone she sent!”
Qiao Yang, “… How do you know?”
Gu Ye didn’t know what to say, “This is not the first time she has done this.”
Qiao Yang: …… Read this novel only on Foxaholic
He also did not know ah, the caller was clearly Auntie Xu.
How did I suddenly get involved in the conflict between mother and son?
Qiao Yang was even more dumbfounded.
He stood up and walked out while speaking, “What are you so angry about? It’s alright as long as you don’t let that person into your house.”
Gu Ye also realized that he lost his temper and took a deep breath, “Sorry, I was a little anxious just now. Mainly because something had happened before, and that person is ……”
Before he was able to finish, he heard the rapid sound of the password being entered from the other side of the door ‒ ‘beep-beep-beep-beep’.
Immediately after ‒ [Beep, incorrect password!]
Three times later, a sharp warning voice was heard ‒ [Beep! Beep! Warning! Warning!]
‒ [You have entered your password incorrectly and exceeded the maximum limit. The system will lock itself for 24 hours. Please ask the apartment technician to come and unlock it. Beep! Beep!]
“Well, the door to your house is locked.” Qiao Yang’s relaxed voice was heard, “Now, no one who knows your house’s password can get in.[2] When you come back, don’t forget to call the property people to come over and unlock it for you. Oh, yes, you have to be early, they have off hours. Otherwise even you enter your house.”
Gu Ye, “……” (speechless)
