"You are..." The man glanced at Fade doubtfully when he heard him speak.
Shinnie gazed at her friends and introduced excitedly, "This is Fade Chen. He is my Brother Chen, and he is here to pick us up today."
"Oh, this is Brother Chen whom you always mentioned in school! Nice to meet you." The man was enthusiastic and took the initiative to shake hands. "My name is Jenski Ceng, and I am Shinnie's college mate."
"Hello!" Fade greeted him and then looked at the other three people invitingly.
"My name is Sabean Zhang!"
"I'm Ysabelle Xie!"
The other two introduced themselves.
Only the well- dressed lady, who walked with Jenski, instead glanced at Fade with a slight sense of disdain. She didn't greet him and said in a sarcastic tone, "So this is Dragonville! Big city you mean? This is worse than East Coast. It's just another small district!"
Fade's expression darkened a little after he heard this.
Noticing this, Jenski hurriedly spoke up, "Mr. Chen, this is Evelyn Qin. She is also a classmate of Shinnie's in East Coast University, but we are not in the same course."
Ysabelle immediately added, "Miss Qin is Jenski's fiancee. This time, they're..."
Before she finished speaking, Jenski shot her a glare. She shut up at once and didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Shinnie looked at Fade and said, "Brother Chen, the weather is quite cold. Let's leave quickly."
He nodded. After placing the rest of their luggage into the trunk, he invited them to get on.
However, this time, there was a problem.
Fade didn't expect Shinnie to bring this many friends when he came to pick her up. The car he drove was obviously too small to fit everyone.
Therefore, he could only say, "Why don't you guys wait a moment? I'll make a phone call and get another car."
Evelyn was the first to react. "What's with the poverty here? Sending a useless car that doesn't come with enough seats."
Fade was on the verge of erupting. However, Shinnie stopped him in haste.
Jenski, who was standing beside her, growled, "Evelyn, I told you before that I'm here for some matters, and you shouldn't be following me. You insisted on coming, and now, you are throwing princess tantrums. I'll book you a flight ticket now, and you can go home."
Everlyn's face darkened, and she stuttered, "I..."
Ysabelle hurriedly explained, "Jenski, don't get mad. Miss Qin is just not used to things here. She's not complaining."
He snorted. Without saying anything, he got in the car and then said, "I'll take this car. If you guys don't like it, hail a taxi yourself."
After that, he apologized to Fade and Shinnie.
Fade was put off by Evelyn's bad temper as well, so he started the car and was ready to leave.
She pulled a face when she saw this. However, when she saw Jenski and Shinnie enter Fade's car, she pouted and got in as well.
At the same time, she said to the remaining pair left outside, "You two, take a taxi yourselves!"
"Miss Qin, don't worry about us. You can tell us the hotel's address when you guys arrive. We will get there ourselves," Ysabelle smiled.
When Shinnie heard this, she stuck her head out and said to the two, "There are spare rooms in my house, so you don't need to stay in the hotel. You' re more than welcome to rest at my place. I will send my house's address to you later."
Just like that, around twenty minutes had passed. Fade finally arrived at the Sun Family's courtyard.
When they parked the car, they saw Sabean and Ysabelle standing at the courtyard gate, frowning and seemingly discussing something.
Seeing this, Evelyn couldn't help but ask, "Ysabelle, Sabean, you reached first?"
When the two heard her voice, they looked over in astonishment. Ysabelle said, "Miss Qin, you're here. I thought we came to the wrong place."
"Came to the wrong place? Didn't I send you the address? How could it be?" Jenski asked.
Ysabelle pointed at the courtyard and said, "This place doesn't seem to be a residential area or a residential building. We didn't notice any community area nearby either, so..."
After hearing her explanation, Jenski and Evelyn glanced around and realized that this place was indeed different.
This was not a residential building but a large, sophisticated- looking yard with antique furnishings. Looking through the windows on the courtyard walls, one could see the lush greenery and its elegance inside, terraces, pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water.
At first glance, no one would think it was a residential area, but more of a park of some sort.
Because of this, Ysabelle and Sabean thought they had come to the wrong place.
Even Evelyn seemed taken aback at this moment.
She gazed at Shinnie and gaped, "Shinnie, is this your home?"
She nodded, "Yes, this is my home."
After that, she stepped out of the car and said, "Come on in."
