Chapter 161 Ying Family Old House
Chapter 161 Ying Family Old House
The latter was full of doubts.
"what?"
Seeing that his boss's good intentions were about to be exposed in front of him, Chu Yu reacted quickly and rushed forward to smooth things over.
"Sister-in-law, she probably thinks you're a lucky star for their store since you bought so many things at once."
As he spoke, he winked at the clerk frantically, telling her not to say anything she shouldn't.
The clerk understood and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Mr. Ying, that's what I mean."
Shi Rong smiled indifferently and didn't think much about it.
Afraid that she would find out when she took the card, Chu Yu smiled at her like a lackey.
"Sister-in-law, can I stay here and help you get your things? Are you going to buy anything else? Or why don't you go over first?"
Shi Rong thought about it and decided to go to another Cartier luxury store not far away as he was told.
I chose a limited edition necklace for women, a bracelet for men, and a pair of couple rings.
"Hello, Mr. Ying, the total consumption is 1,570,800."
Just as Shi Rong was about to take back her wallet from Chu Zhao, the man had already taken the lead and handed over his main card.
He's quite perceptive.
Finally, Shi Rong went to the Hermès store again, spent 160 million to pick out two bags, and asked someone to pack them in gift boxes. Then he walked out of the convenience store and hurried home.
It was 40 minutes later when the three cars were parked steadily in the closed parking lot outside the Ying family's old residence on Chaoge Road.
After getting off the car, Lanchuan Miaoman carried the things Shi Rong had bought, and together with Chu Yu, who was still holding her bag, they followed Shi Rong into the golden nanmu double doors of the Ying family's old house.
Different from the modern European style of the Huo family manor, the Ying family mansion is like an antique water garden.
The overall architecture follows the traditional simple beauty, with mahogany railings, blue bricks and black tiles, carved doors and windows, flying eaves and upturned corners, and the area is arranged in a staggered order. Under the afterglow of the moonlight with stars hanging in the night sky, it looks more solemn, elegant and gorgeous.
As you walk in along the mottled emerald marble floor, you will be surprised to find that on both sides of the aisle bend, there are rockery and flowing water, lotus flowers and leaves, fish swimming in the shallows, and a bright and flawless beautiful scenery.
Chu Yu marveled at the boundless beauty of the Ying family's old house, but was also very curious. Dongcheng is cold in winter, with temperatures generally around zero degrees Celsius, and sometimes even below 20 or 30 degrees below zero. How could these koi and lotus flowers still be growing so well?
Seeing his inquiring gaze, attracted by the rippling water of the lake, Shi Rong spoke to explain at the right time.
"This floating mansion is the result of a ten-mile lotus pond built by my grandfather at great expense to please my grandmother. These plants and koi fish are all rare species unique to the East, resistant to both extreme cold and extreme heat. Furthermore, it's connected to a full underwater constant temperature system, ensuring the water remains green and the flowers bloom year-round."
So that's how it is. Chu Yu was shocked!
Such a generous gesture, just to make his beloved wife smile?
The Ying family, an old couple, are truly a model of harmonious marriage and deep love.
Having said that, Chu Yu suddenly thought of something and felt that the time was right, so he quickly asked.
"What about you, sister-in-law? What kind of house architectural style do you prefer? In other words, what kind of house do you think will make you feel safe and happy when living in it?"
Shi Rong thought about it and didn't hesitate.
"This place is great! My favorite thing to do as a child was to swing with my parents in the back garden of our old house. I also like the floor-to-ceiling windows. I can always see the weather and environmental changes outside, which makes me feel very safe. That's why I built a panoramic villa on the top of a mountain in the southern suburbs."
Chu Yu nodded, understanding it.
"Little Lord."
"Little Lord."
"Little Lord."
On the way to the villa, Chu Yu took a quick look and found that the servants in the Ying family's old house were mostly young women.
And the clothes they wear are all the same warm white and light gray background with three-quarter sleeves women's Zhongshan suits, paired with light blue three-ear buttons and the same color white lotus and green leaves pattern, and black silk wide-leg pants.
When I arrived at the door of the villa, a middle-aged man with a kind face, a friendly smile, a short flat head, a strong physique, and a short stature, wearing a men's matching Zhongshan suit of the same style, came to greet me.
He is the current chief steward of the Ying family's old house, Xu Liu. He has been working for the old man since Shi Rong was born. He is smart, capable and tactful.
"Young Master, you are finally back."
Shi Rong gave the visitor a warm and relaxed smile.
"Sixth Uncle, long time no see~"
Xu Liu bowed and saluted respectfully.
"Young Master is still the same as before, with a beautiful face and a graceful demeanor. Uncle Six is delighted to see you return safely."
Shi Rong stepped forward, affectionately took Xu Liu's strong arm, and smiled sweetly.
"Sixth Uncle is still as eloquent as before."
Xu Liu nodded and made a "please" gesture to her.
"Young Master, please take your men in quickly. It's cold outside. The old lady and the eldest young master are already waiting for you."
Shi Rong nodded.
"it is good."
When Shi Rong walked in, everything seemed to be going well. However, perhaps because he had not been home for a long time or was absent-minded, he stepped over the threshold and took a step when he stepped on something, stumbled, and almost fell.
"Hey…"
"oops!"
Fortunately, Chu Yu was quick-witted and quick-handed. He took two steps forward, grabbed her slender left arm with one hand, and supported her slender waist with the other hand, so that she did not fall.
"Are you okay, Rong'er?"
Feng Qingning was shocked when she saw this, and quickly led people to meet them.
Shi Rong turned his head and lowered his eyes, then lifted up his right foot to take a look. The heel of his shoe was not broken, so why was there a hole?
Feng Qingning followed her suspicious gaze and immediately spoke harshly and blamed her.
"I told you all already, there's a dent in the jade tile at the door, and the floor is uneven. I told you to replace it right away, but you didn't hear me, did you? If you let the young master fall, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"
The servants were shocked by Feng Qingning's sudden criticism and nodded in unison.
"Old lady, calm down!"
Shi Rong was amused by his own carelessness and immediately took his grandmother's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Oh, Grandma, I was just not careful when I walked. Why are you blaming them?"
Feng Qingning gave her a kind look and scolded her softly.
"You know you're not careful enough, don't you? You're walking in high heels and you're not careful. If you fall, it'll be a big hassle to go to the Mirage Dragon Hall for treatment."
As he said this, he turned his head and greeted Chu Yu who was traveling with him.
"Chu Lu is here? Thank you so much just now. I heard that you will stay with Rong'er from now on. It's just right. You haven't been to the Ying family's old house yet, right? You can live here from now on."
Seeing that she spoke politely and in a calm tone, Chu Yu bowed and saluted according to the proper etiquette.
"Thank you for being so polite, Madam Ying. It's my duty. I'll trouble you to take care of it."
