Chapter 968 David the Foreigner

"Hey foreigner, if you don't leave now, don't blame my auntie for getting angry!"

The person was thrown out and landed flat on their back.

Shen Lu sized up the young man: "Who are you?"

It was Shen San who dragged the person out; he was strong and knew how to handle himself.

“A foreigner named David said he was there to visit the old house on behalf of an elder in his family.”

“I told him to just look from the outside, but he wanted to go inside.”

Shen San said with a displeased look, "Who knows if he's trying to sneak into the house and steal something?"

"Even if David's ancestors lived here, how many years has it been since our great-grandfather bought this house?"

"Their elders must have all passed away. How many of their descendants would have any feelings for their ancestral home, which they've never lived in?"

He was clearly lying.

Shen San was clear and logical.

Shen Lu's expression became complicated.

The old residence?

Aside from the previous owner of the courtyard house, there is indeed someone who might still be alive who would care about the house.

Shen Lu carefully examined David and realized that he and she really did not resemble each other at all.

"How old are you? Did you come all the way to the capital just to see this house?"

Shen Lu didn't know whether David had a relationship with that person.

But if that's true, then the old lady's mood is probably not very pleasant right now.

She might not be able to come to the capital for even a day in ten years, but who knew that this time she just happened to be on a whim and came with her best friend, and then someone came to her door.

Was that person deliberately testing us, or was it just a coincidence?

"Twenty years old, I'm an exchange student at Imperial University." David was also an exchange student.

"Since you're a student at Imperial University, how come I've never seen you at the school?" Shen Lu wondered.

David honestly explained, "I'm an exchange student coming in September. I came early to get familiar with the environment."

What kind of environment is this? Does this person want to move into the house?

"Which elder in your family sent you here to look at the house? Did they have any tokens of trust?"

How can you prove that this house is your family's former residence?

David's eyes flickered: "There's no proof."

Shen Lu realized that this person was up to something.

"So you still want to trespass without proof?" Shen Lu smiled. "Then I could say the White House is my family's ancestral property."

David has spoken excellent Mandarin since he was a child and can understand Shen Lu's speech.

“You’re talking nonsense.” David glared at him.

“Beautiful lady, this really is my elders’ old residence, you…” David started to say, then suddenly realized, “Aren’t you surnamed Shen?”

Shen Lu's smile this time was even more meaningful.

She knew it; this house was being watched.

The moment the old lady moved, that person knew it.

After hiding abroad for so many years, do you really think you can take over the house from an old lady?

This courtyard house could sell for hundreds of millions.

But most people wouldn't be willing to spend that money to buy it.

Moreover, this was originally bought by the Shen family, and there is a property deed. Even if that person's brain is filled with mush, it's impossible for them to come and take the house away, right?

"My surname is Shen. You wouldn't say your surname is Shen too, would you?"

“I…” David’s eyes darted around, “Yes, we’re definitely family. My Chinese name is also Shen, so I’ll call myself Shen Dawei.”

Shen Lu burst out laughing.

I really couldn't hold it back.

"Isn't your name David? Why is your Chinese name Dawei?"

"Dawei, great, your leader, great!"

"I want to be a great person someday!" David felt that he was lucky to have such a name.

"Keep it up!" Shen Lu gave him a thumbs up.

She ignored him and instead looked at Shen San: "Third Brother, where's Grandma?"

"My great-aunt has finished packing, but she hasn't removed the eyesores; she doesn't want to come out."

Shen San raised his chin at David.

This eyesore is clearly him.

Shen Lu understood; the old lady had guessed David's identity.

"David, can you leave now? I need to pick up Grandma and take her to the airport. I'm going to miss my flight."

David wasn't shy at all: "Can I come with you?"

"Where are you going?" Shen Lu looked at him, puzzled.

"Wherever you go, I'll go." David doesn't consider himself an outsider at all.

Shen Lu rolled her eyes at him: "Go somewhere cool and stay there."

"Don't even think about moving into the house. If you do, it will be considered trespassing."

"As for my grandmother, you shouldn't even think about making a move on her."

"No matter who sent you, you should go back to where you came from."

Shen Lu's words had a hidden meaning, and she wasn't sure if David would understand.

David hesitated for a moment: "Don't worry, if no one lives here, I definitely won't barge in..."

"The owner here doesn't want to see me because—"

David was interrupted by the person inside before he could finish speaking: "Why aren't you throwing him further away?"

"Shen San, are you trying to delay our return?"

Shen San could only ask David to move away from the door with a dark expression.

David had never met such an unreasonable person.

He squatted at the entrance of the alley, staring at the gate of the Shen family's house.

He's bound to meet that mysterious old lady!

The old lady from the East, with her wrinkled old face, was someone David had seen many times and thought about many times.

But as soon as the owner of the house came out, he knew that this person was indeed different.

She was a very elegant old lady, wearing a dark green lotus-patterned cheongsam. Her skin was very fair, and even though there were wrinkles on her face, one could still glimpse her former beauty.

Her hair was styled in a bun, and a pair of jade earrings and a necklace around her neck complemented each other.

She also wore a full green bracelet on her wrist.

She didn't give David a single glance from beginning to end, but David guessed that she must know he was spying on her.

"Grandma, you look so beautiful today!"

Shen Lu's words were absolutely not flattering.

Aunt Shen Qi glanced at her, somewhat disdainfully: "You just don't care about dressing up, you only rely on your good looks."

My granddaughter is young and beautiful; she's eye-catching even without dressing up.

Look at Lu Xingye, he always stares at Lu Lu without even blinking.

"My natural beauty comes from you." Shen Lu knew how to flatter her elders.

Grandma Shen knew perfectly well why her granddaughter was making small talk to cheer her up.

"Take it."

She shoved the box in her hand into Shen Lu's arms.

Shen Lu was taken aback and immediately opened the box, which contained a set of rubies and jade.

So beautiful!

She could find no other words to describe it besides these two sentences, as they would seem pale and powerless.

When did you start preparing?

Aunt Shen Qi rolled her eyes at her: "They're old things kept in this house."

"The set I'm wearing is also from that set; I don't know when the old man prepared it."

According to Aunt Shen Qi, her father loved to dress up his daughter and would often buy her valuable jewelry.
