Chapter 423: 273 Digging a Hole to Assist, Jiang Family Brothers Join the Battle Together

Shen Zhixian had searched online all night. In Beijing, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, finding a temporary apartment involved considerations of location, price, and security, not to mention whether the surroundings were secluded.

By 3 a.m., she had narrowed it down to two places. After work, she went to see the apartments but was dissatisfied with both. To make matters worse, she was caught in the rush hour traffic which delayed her from picking up her child.

When she hurriedly arrived at the kindergarten, the gate was already locked. Just as she was about to call the teacher, her phone vibrated.

The caller ID displayed: "Jiang Jinsang."

"Hello, Fifth Master?"

"Sister-in-law speaks to me with such formality," Jiang Jinsang’s voice always carried a hint of laughter, seemingly approachable, but actually difficult to get along with.

"Did you pick up Taotao?"

"We’re in the restaurant across from the kindergarten."

Shen Zhixian turned her head to scan the street and saw Jiang Jinsang sitting by the window, clearly visible. She hurried inside where there were children’s entertainment facilities, and Jiangjiang and Taotao were playing in a ball pit, energetically waving at her as she entered.

"Thank you." Shen Zhixian sat opposite Jinsang, noticing the unfinished ice cream and fries on the table.

"Don’t mention it, I ordered a cup of black tea for you."

Shen Zhixian, who had rushed over, was still breathing slightly heavily. She thanked him and took a sip of the hot tea, feeling herself slowly calming down.

"About work..."

Before he could finish, Shen Zhixian’s phone rang again. "Sorry—" she answered. It was from a real estate agent, "Miss Shen, today’s house in Eastern Garden is a bit old, but the landlord says he can lower the price. I have a few other properties, if you have time, I can show you around."

"I’ll think about it."

"There’s one house, very affordable, good lighting, very quiet, and most importantly, excellent security and very secluded..." the agent insisted.

"Where is it located?"

"It’s near North Sichuan, a bit far."

"North Sichuan?" Shen Zhixian frowned. That was indeed far, "I have another matter to attend to, let’s talk more later." It would be impolite to leave Jiang Jinsang hanging.

"No worries, my phone is on 24/7, contact me anytime you need," the agent said eagerly, almost overwhelming her.

After ending the call, Jiang Jinsang asked quietly, "Didn’t you just move out? Looking for a new place?"

"I’m looking for somewhere quieter and more secluded; it’s a bit noisy there," Shen Zhixian didn’t reveal the main reason.

"Why don’t you ask my brother for help?"
