Chapter 813: Chapter 804: Neighbor (2)
She didn’t need to ask; as expected, Xia Siyu soon received a phone call. Even at this close distance, she could hear everything clearly without the need for speakerphone; it was indeed Bo Yan’s voice: “Have you arrived?”
“Just arrived,” Xia Siyu nodded, then glanced at the two people next door, “However, someone from next door brought his girlfriend here too. I thought it would be quiet here, but unfortunately, it isn’t.”
Xia Siyu’s disdainful voice didn’t need to be seen to be felt.
Bo Yan instantly knew whom she was referring to and didn’t continue the topic, he simply said: “I’ll be there shortly, just past the next traffic light. For your belongings, I’ll have Wei Jingjing help you organize them in a couple of days. We’ll stay here for a while. Wait a second…”
He had felt recently as though he was being watched, those paparazzi were like mosquitoes, infiltrating through every possible entry, and you never knew when you’d be secretly photographed.
But before he could finish, he suddenly felt that at the entrance of the community, there seemed to be a few more cars parked.
This area is actually surrounded by high-end communities, far from the city center, with wide roads, quiet and peaceful, with virtually every household owning a car for their commute. This was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, nearly everyone in their community had their own garage, and ride-hailing was rare; it wasn’t normal for so many cars to be parked here, especially not at the entrance. Moreover, families wealthy enough to afford a villa wouldn’t own so many mid to low-end sedans worth a few tens to over a hundred thousand yuan.
The security here was top-notch, with facial recognition for entry and exit. Outside vehicles without registration and homeowner’s permission couldn’t simply enter the community. When Xia Siyu wanted to rent a place here before, the agent had to contact Bo Yan in advance to register before she could be allowed in. This time too, it was him who had arranged everything for Xia Siyu’s car in advance.
Bo Yan was always cautious, and he soon sensed something was off. He urged immediately: “Tell the two next door that it looks like someone outside is already watching, to be more careful when going out. They can’t get into the community for the time being, it’s still safe. But once you leave, that’s a different story.”
His words thoroughly dispelled Shang Feifei’s notion of leaving tonight. She had planned to have her agent and assistant pick her up after a few hours but with paparazzi lurking around even here: somehow, it felt like being a burglar with sirens blaring outside, forcing her to crouch inside and hide her figure.
She had no choice but to message her assistant and agent: “I’m being watched by the paparazzi too, I might not be able to leave for the time being, you guys…”
She was about to send a message asking her assistant to come over tonight – at least with a stranger present, Han Yifan wouldn’t dare to take any action against her. But instead, her assistant immediately replied: “Got it, Sister Fei, you rest up. There’s no work for the next few days, so you have some leisure time. I’ll come to see you when there’s a work arrangement. Coincidentally, my mom is not feeling well and came to Yancheng. I’m going to accompany her, call me if anything!”
After expressing herself to this extent, Shang Feifei couldn’t insist her assistant come over, so she could only respond with: “Then you rest well too.”
No help for it, at least for tonight, she would have to recuperate in Han Yifan’s house.
Han Yifan’s home had previously been visited by Xia Siyu, which she described as “half is alcohol, half is music”. There’s a huge climate- and humidity-controlled wine cellar installed in the enormous basement, and there’s also a large bar in the living room. A piano sits in the center, and instead of paintings, wine racks and guitars hang on the walls.
