Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 647 Arriving at the Port City

The time passed quickly and the people arranged by Lu Zixuan soon came up.

He Lai had already packed up. After saying goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, he changed his clothes, got in the car and left.

When the He Lai family arrived at the Gangcheng villa, Wu Juan and others looked at the magnificent house in front of them and the row of servants standing beside it, and they were speechless for a moment.

"Mom, let me take you in. I came here once last time during the Canton Fair."

Yu Shui took Wu Juan's arm and said.

"Ah? Oh, okay, Yu Shui, you hold mom up." Before Wu Juan could come to her senses, she walked into the villa with the support of Yu Shui.

He Zhan also glanced at He Lai, then followed with Wen'er.

"Brother, are we going to live here from now on?" Wu'er asked in surprise, looking at the beautiful villa in front of her.

"Yes, Wu'er, do you like it?" He Lai touched Wu'er's head and said with a smile.

"I like it, that's great!" Wu'er ran in excitedly with her hands raised.

"Old Jin, have someone follow the young lady."

"Okay, young master." Butler Jin agreed and ordered a servant to follow.

"Big girl, second girl, little girl, follow uncle in." He said as he took the little girl's hand and walked in.

Butler Jin ordered someone to take the luggage out of the car and asked someone to wait in the house.

When He Lai entered the villa, he saw Yu Shui taking Wu Juan and Wen'er on a tour, while He Zhan was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

He Lai asked Da Niu and the others to follow Yu Shui to choose a room. He sat opposite He Zhan and said, "Dad, you can get familiar with it first. If you want to continue working in the security department, you can. I also have a large factory with nearly 10,000 people here. You can be in charge of the management."

"Okay, take Dad to have a look in a few days." He Zhan nodded and looked at the furnishings in the living room. Each piece was very valuable. "Xiao Laizi, is this house really yours?"

"Yes, I have some property in Hong Kong City, so I can buy a few villas. If you and mom want to live alone, there is an empty villa next door, which is also mine."

He Lai smiled.

"Okay, okay, kid, why do you buy so many houses? You can't eat them." He Zhan said speechlessly.

He Lai was too lazy to explain to He Zhan. After all, without the experience of future generations, few people would have this idea.

"Dad, let's take a look at the newspaper first to learn about what's happening in Hong Kong."

He Lai handed a stack of newspapers to He Zhan and said with a smile.

When He Zhan heard the newspaper, he picked it up, but when he saw the newspaper full of traditional Chinese characters, he immediately frowned.

He Zhan was not well educated to begin with. He had little time to study during the war, and after he started working he only occasionally learned to read. He had little exposure to traditional Chinese characters, and it was still quite difficult for him to read them.

He Lai didn't care whether He Zhan could understand it or not, and just started drinking his coffee.

After a while, Wu'er ran in.

"Brother, brother, this house is so big, bigger than the courtyard house we lived in before!" Wu'er threw herself into He Lai's arms and said happily.

"Then Wu'er can live here from now on, okay?"

"it is good!"

"Go ahead. Mom is choosing a room upstairs. You can go choose one too."

"Oh! I want the biggest room!" When Wu'er heard about choosing a room, she immediately ran up.

"Xiao Laizi, what does it mean that the newspaper said that housing prices in Gangcheng will plummet? Do you want to sell your house, or you will lose money later." He Zhan pointed at a piece of news in the newspaper and said worriedly.

"Dad, it's okay. I didn't pay much for this house when I bought it. I won't lose money. Besides, house prices are unpredictable. If it falls this year, it may rise next year."

He Lai explained casually.

"Is that so? Then you should be careful when doing business and don't lose your capital."

Seeing that He Lai didn't care, He Zhan didn't mention it again and continued to flip through the pages.

"Brother! Brother, I also want a TV in my room!" Wu'er shouted towards He Lai from upstairs.

“Uh…” He Lai didn’t know what to say for a moment, probably because he saw the TV in his room.

Seeing that He Lai didn't say anything, Wu'er rushed downstairs with the help of the servants.

"Brother, brother, I want a TV! Is that okay?" Wu'er started to act coquettishly in He Lai's arms.

"Your eldest brother can't make the decision on this. You have to get mother's consent!"

He Lai said perfunctorily that he didn't dare put a TV in Wu'er's room, because if she became addicted to it, it would be whose fault it was.

He Lai knew the temptation that television brought to children. Even adults in the 1970s and 1980s could not resist it. A large group of people would gather around a TV to watch it, and they would have to put aside everything else, such as eating and sleeping.

"No, no, brother, please install one for me!" Wu'er continued to pester He Lai, as if she would not give up until she gave her a TV.

He Lai had no choice but to agree to put a TV in the living room so that she could watch TV every day.

Wu Juan and others also came down. It must be said that there are quite a lot of rooms in the villa, which is more than enough for living.

"Xiao Laizi, how much does such a big house cost? Do you want to..." Wu Juan wanted to ask whether she should give him the passbook herself, but she stopped halfway through the words.

Considering that He Lai could easily brush off hundreds of thousands of Chinese yuan, why would he care about such a small amount of money?

"Mom, you don't have to worry about money anymore. We have a company in Hong Kong. You can eat all the delicacies every day. You won't be able to finish them all."

He Lai joked.

"What are you talking about? I don't want any delicacies. I just want you to be safe. I don't feel at ease living in this house.

There are so many servants in the house, isn't this like the big landlords of the past? If this happened in the past, he would have been criticized."

Wu Juan said worriedly.

"Haha." He Lai could only smile to hide his embarrassment.

After a long while, seeing Wu Juan still looking around, He Lai thought for a moment and said, "Mom, we are here for Wen'er and the others to go to school. When we get to Gangcheng, I will contact the school and we should be able to send them to school right away."

"Yes, yes, yes, going to school is important. Xiao Laizi, you can arrange a better school for him, so that mother can feel at ease to send Wen'er and the others there." Wu Juan replied.

"Don't worry, it's definitely the best."

"That's good, that's good, Wen'er, you're going to school soon, are you happy?"

Wu Juan touched Wen'er's head and said.

"Well, thank you, mom, and thank you, brother." Wen'er thanked them obediently.

"Brother, can I not study?" Wu'er asked when she heard about going to school.

"Come here and stand still! What do you want to do if you don't study? Wu'er, mother tells you, if you dare not study, mother will beat you every day." Wu Juan said with a gloomy face.

Wu'er was instantly stunned and cowered in He Lai's arms.

"Okay, okay, what are you afraid of? There are only kids in the school, you can play together. Besides, the older girls will also go to school, and you can go to and from school together. That's great." He Lai comforted.

"Okay, then can I not do my homework?"

"That depends on how good your grades are. If they're not good, you'll probably have to do homework!"

"Can I ask someone else to write it for me?"

"Uh!"

"How dare you! I think you're itching for trouble! ...

Wu Juan had already stood up and walked towards Wu'er.
