Xu Weilai had continued to rent her apartment abroad because, at the time when she returned to China, she never expected herself to stay on for long. But subsequently, she married Gu Yu and remained in the country for over half a year.
However, probably because lacked a sense of security, she still continued to rent the apartment even after her marriage and it was a blessing in disguise, for it would spare her the trouble of finding a new apartment when she returned abroad.
Before she left, she had asked her landlady to help her clean up the house regularly and water her potted plants. Xu Weilai's landlady was also Chinese and was a friendly old lady who had always been nice to her. Thus, her landlady readily agreed.
After getting off the plane, Xu Weilai lugged her luggage and took a taxi back to her tiny apartment.
