Shen Mingzhu's decision to buy a new house was a spur-of-the-moment one, plus she aimed to keep it low-profile, not wanting the residents of the family compound to gossip, so she didn't mention it to outsiders.
Zhou Shuhuan came to know of this matter the night Shen Mingzhu threw a fit, when he overheard Pei Yang chatting with Pei Wenping at the hospital.
He kept this to himself, partly because it was in his nature not to gossip about others' family matters, and partly because he felt a bit awkward about his brother buying a new house.
The two had been close friends since childhood, but when it came to such a major matter as buying a house, Pei Yang didn't even utter a word.
At the same time, he felt a twinge of jealousy and regret.
Before the matchmaking, it was Shen Mingzhu he had his eyes on, but he ended up choosing Shen Baolan out of vanity and competitiveness.
If he had married Shen Mingzhu, perhaps he would be the one opening factories and buying big houses.
