Xu Qiuyan's face lit up when she saw me again. "Jiang Xiaobai, where did you go just now? We went to your house to look for you, but your parents were home too."
Bingbing nodded vigorously beside her.
They still seemed unaccustomed to being this age, with far too many restrictions placed on them.
I said to her, "My parents wanted to buy a place in Green Garden Residential Area, so the whole family went to look at apartments."
Xu Qiuyan froze slightly. "Building Number Two, Unit Two, fourth floor?"
I nodded helplessly. Xu Qiuyan said, "That's not bad either. Even if Little Ancestral Hall Entrance doesn't disappear in the future, it'll be demolished and redeveloped. If you buy a place then, it definitely won't cost what it does now."
Bingbing asked, "You came back because you had something to do, right?"
So I told them about meeting Ye Jinghong and Guiguzi. Both of them were shocked. When they learned that I had come to speak with Xu Qiuyan's mother about taking them away, Xu Qiuyan said, "If you're worried she won't agree, we can just leave quietly. Like you said, only after we leave this era can our present selves return."
I shook my head. "It's not that simple. Guiguzi said your mother probably knows some things, so it would be better to lay it all out with her. Otherwise, who knows what kind of changes might happen."
Xu Qiuyan looked at Bingbing. Bingbing nodded. "Xiaobai is right. Qiu Yan, you know your mom's personality. She can't stand even the slightest offense. If we just run off like this, she'll definitely hold it against Xiaobai in the future."
Thinking back on my past interactions with Xu Qiuyan's mother, I wondered if I had really offended her somewhere before. Was
