Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Jiang Xiyue’s Home

Jiang Xiyue supported her mother Zhu Guiyue as they left the hospital room, with Ye Qiu following behind.

Jiang Xiyue naturally knew that Ye Qiu had a car, but Zhu Guiyue did not.

When they reached the parking lot outside the Affiliated Hospital, the security guard Ma Biao, who had seen Ye Qiu carrying things earlier, quickly came over to help Ye Qiu with Zhu Guiyue’s bag.

Ye Qiu took out his keys, pressed them, and the lights on his Range Rover flickered as Ma Biao opened the rear door for them. Jiang Xiyue helped her mother into the car.

This surprised Zhu Guiyue greatly—that this young man was driving such a fancy car.

Although she didn’t know the brand, from the exterior and interior decoration, it was clearly an expensive car, one that only wealthy people could afford.

After Ye Qiu got into the car, Jiang Xiyue took the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt.

"Where does your mom live?"

"In the urban village on the outskirts."

Ye Qiu drove towards the suburban urban village that Jiang Xiyue mentioned. On the way, Ye Qiu didn’t say much. But Zhu Guiyue was experiencing such a comfortable ride for the first time, without any bumps at all.

"Young man, is this your car?"

"Auntie, I bought this."

Ye Qiu replied.

If that were the case, Zhu Guiyue thought this young man was impressive; either his family was wealthy, or he earned quite a bit himself.

Jiang Xiyue wasn’t sure how to introduce her and Ye Qiu’s relationship.

"Not bad, not bad, it must be expensive!"

"Not very expensive, around three or four million."

Ye Qiu said.

Three or four million? Not very expensive?

Zhu Guiyue was speechless.

Before she got sick, she worked at a factory in the urban village, making just over two thousand yuan a month.

And three or four million isn’t considered expensive?

She could only think this young man must be very wealthy.

Ye Qiu continued driving towards the suburban urban village Jiang Xiyue had mentioned. Upon arrival, Ye Qiu realized that it was quite secluded, the surroundings similar to Jiangbei.

Ye Qiu parked the car on a street below where Zhu Guiyue lived in the urban village, as cars couldn’t go further in, so they had to stop there.

As he opened the door and grabbed the items to get out, Jiang Xiyue also took a bag and helped her mother down.

Although Zhu Guiyue lived here in the urban village, and this apartment was rented, it had been over ten years.

Ye Qiu carried Zhu Guiyue’s bag of clothes and Jiang Xiyue’s duffel when following them inside, noticing many people stopping to look.

They were all neighbors, as Zhu Guiyue and Jiang Xiyue had lived there for so long, the surrounding neighbors all knew them.

But these neighbors knew Zhu Guiyue had a good daughter; she was admitted to Jinling University, and a top student at Jinling University. However, after Jiang Xiyue graduated, unexpectedly, in the first half of the year, Zhu Guiyue was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, even in mid-late stage.

The landlord, who rented the apartment to Zhu Guiyue, was preparing to evict her, not wanting someone to die in their property.

However, since Zhu Guiyue became sick, she mostly sought treatment at the hospital, and during severe times, she was hospitalized, not returning for quite a while. The landlord and neighbors even thought she died in the hospital.

After all, esophageal cancer is cancer, and especially in mid-late stages, they believed there was a 100 percent chance she died.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Guiyue returned now, and they saw a beautiful vehicle parked outside, followed by a young man helping return items.

Wasn’t Zhu Guiyue severely ill?

The neighbors thought curiously.

Who was this young man driving?

The neighbors all wondered.

While Zhu Guiyue greeted those neighbors, Jiang Xiyue’s expression wasn’t very good.

To her memory, some neighbors spoke ill behind their backs, gossiped about her mother and her, quite clearly.

Upon reaching the front door of a twenty-year-old building on the third floor, Jiang Xiyue took out the key to unlock it.

Just entering inside, Ye Qiu sensed a distinct musty smell, and a thick dust scent.

This was similar to when he lived in Jiangbei’s old textile factory district.

"Haven’t cleaned up for a long time."

Jiang Xiyue remarked.

As she supported her mother inside, Ye Qiu realized the ordinary rental apartment consisted of two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, totaling probably less than seventy square meters, even smaller than the elevator apartment Ye Qiu bought for Liu Lingxiu’s parents.

Also, the building was quite old, and many walls inside were peeling.

"Mom, I’ll help you to your room first to rest, then tidy up here."

Jiang Xiyue glanced at Ye Qiu apologetically, noticing no expression or sign of disdain as she supported Zhu Guiyue further inside.

Having not returned for such a long time, many things likely became moldy.

As Jiang Xiyue supported Zhu Guiyue into a room and let her lie on the bed, she came back out, intending to brew a pot of water for Ye Qiu to drink, and for her mother to take her medicine.

While boiling water, Jiang Xiyue realized the electricity and water supply had already been cut off.

Being away for such a long time without paying utility bills or rent, the landlord had cut off the water and electricity.

"The water and power are out?"

Finding it truly was, Jiang Xiyue didn’t anticipate it being like this.

After all, both she and her mother lived here for such a long time; did the landlord fear she’d just run off?

Furthermore, cutting the supply wouldn’t do any good, were they afraid she’d sneak back and use it?

"I’ll go find the landlord."

Jiang Xiyue said.

Ye Qiu stood on the balcony looking out, realizing that the environment here was worse than where he previously lived in Jiangbei, yet better than the rental apartment Liu Xia and Xiao Hong resided in.

Overall, just an ordinary rental apartment, and being so far away, in the suburban urban village.

As Jiang Xiyue went to find the landlord to enable the water and power intake, Ye Qiu didn’t comment, realizing there wasn’t much here.

Only some common chairs, a dull-looking table, a weary wooden sofa, and an old color TV.

Otherwise, Ye Qiu found there was nothing valuable but possibly some clothes of this mother and daughter inside the room.

Since Ye Qiu met Jiang Xiyue, he hadn’t seen her father or any siblings, even any relatives or friends.

This indicated Jiang Xiyue’s family circumstances were much worse than his former ones.

Ye Qiu opened the balcony and other surrounding windows, allowing the wind from outside to slowly disperse the unpleasant musty smell inside.
