All the way, Shen Yi remained silent. The atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet.
No matter how scared she was inside, Zhao Shuyan still chose to believe that Shen Yi wouldn't hurt them. She didn't say a word, giving Shen Yi some time to calm down.
Slowly, Shen Yi slowed down the car. Looking at his wife and daughter in the back seat, he felt deeply guilty.
He hadn't been able to control his emotions just now, driving so fast. If something had happened, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life. Fortunately, everything was okay.
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself. But after thinking for a while, he didn't know how to tell Zhao Shuyan and their daughter about all those messy things, so he continued to stay silent.
Although the atmosphere in the car was a bit oppressive, at least Shen Yi had calmed down, and the tension eased a bit.
When the car reached the entrance of the residential community, Shen Yi saw an acquaintance again. After hesitating for a while, seeing the person at the community entrance constantly waving at him, Shen Yi finally believed that he wasn't seeing things.
After all, this was his boss. He had to give him some face. Gathering his emotions, Shen Yi parked the car in a temporary parking space and got out.
Knowing that Shen Yi was in a bad mood, Zhao Shuyan was afraid that something might happen to him, so she got out of the car with Shen Nanyi in her arms.
"Section Chief Wang? Why do you have the time to come here?" Looking at his boss, Shen Yi was a bit puzzled.
This guy had always looked down on him. If it wasn't necessary, they could go weeks without talking. Since he was about to get a promotion soon, he had become extremely arrogant.
Why was he coming to find him instead of staying at home during off - work hours?
Why were all the strange things happening today?
"We're all from the same department. It sounds kind of distant for you to say that. I'm here as a colleague to visit your home today. You won't mind, right?" Wang Yaozong's smile on his face was a bit stiff. It was obvious that he wasn't sincere.
"Of course not. Honey, please take Section Chief Wang in first. I'll go park the car." No matter what he thought of Wang Yaozong in his heart, after working in the unit for so long, Shen Yi wouldn't make things embarrassing for others. He was always good at maintaining the surface courtesy.
Although they were not from the same department, since they were in the same system, Zhao Shuyan had met Wang Yaozong a few times. She was very polite and led Wang Yaozong into the community first.
"The housing price here is quite high, isn't it?" After walking for a while, Wang Yaozong casually asked, turning to look at Zhao Shuyan.
It was really embarrassing for him, after living for so many years, to ask for help from his subordinate. Wang Yaozong was thinking about if there was any other way.
"It may have increased in the past two years, but it was okay a few years ago." Holding Shen Nanyi's hand, Zhao Shuyan didn't have a good impression of Wang Yaozong, so she was very careful in her words.
Although her family had never made any mistakes in their work in the unit, and all the property in recent years was actually bought with Shen Nanyi's money, few people would believe this if she said it out. It was better to be cautious.
"It must have been quite difficult for you two to live in City A all these years. Buying a house must have been really tough, right?" Not getting any useful information from the previous question, Wang Yaozong changed his way of asking.
A few years ago, he had taken a fancy to the houses in this community. He had even been tempted, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough money. The down - payment alone would cost over a million. Zhao Shuyan and Shen Yi couldn't have saved up a million in just a few years, not to mention the monthly mortgage of over ten thousand. No matter how he looked at it, they didn't seem to be able to afford a house here.
Wang Yaozong decided to start from this aspect. As long as he could find something wrong with Shen Yi, theoretically, they would be on an equal footing, and he wouldn't have to humble himself.
"We sold our previous house, and our parents gave us some money. We also borrowed some. For the sake of our child, it's all worth it." Zhao Shuyan was kind - hearted but not stupid. She sensed Wang Yaozong's strangeness and answered his questions flawlessly.
As they were about to reach the door, Wang Yaozong still hadn't gotten any useful information. He was getting really anxious. Then he shifted his gaze to Shen Nanyi and showed her a greasy smile.
