Chapter 756: Settling Down! (3)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Chao lived in a courtyard that was a bit of a distance from the Jingdu Hotel. They didn’t get home until nearly midnight, but thankfully, they had already asked Aunt Kuang to prepare lunch ahead of time.

“Xiao Chao, is this house yours? It’s so luxurious! Must have cost quite a fortune!” Third Aunt exclaimed as soon as they stepped into the front yard, stunned by the scenery.

Even Third Uncle, who followed behind, was momentarily speechless. As a man, he had to maintain his composure, though he was inwardly astonished. His face still wore a calm and natural expression.

“We didn’t spend much, Third Aunt. Let’s go inside first,” Zhou Chao said, without going into details, and gave a glance to Jiang Li.

“Third Aunt, you’ve had a long journey. Come in and rest a bit.”

Upon hearing Jiang Li’s words, Third Aunt nodded repeatedly and walked towards the house hand in hand with Jiang Li.

Meanwhile, the kitchen was bustling with activity. Aunt Kuang, accompanied by another maid, was busy cooking. They hadn’t even noticed Zhou Chao and the others entering the house.

“Lin Wu, go slice some fruits and brew some tea. Ah Li, accompany Third Aunt and Uncle for a chat. I’ll check the kitchen,” Zhou Chao said, heading towards the kitchen.

Jiang Li then took Third Aunt and Third Uncle on a tour of the house. On the way back in the car, Jiang Li learned that Third Aunt planned to stay here for a while until the baby was born, while her uncle would only stay for a few days and then return.

“Third Aunt, Uncle, take a look at this bedroom. If you don’t like it, there are other rooms.”

Third Aunt and Uncle were amazed as they inspected the bedroom mentioned by Jiang Li. The room was spacious, at least fifty square meters, adorned with luxurious carpets and high-quality decorations, showcasing an opulent Chinese style.

It boasted a private bathroom, a walk-in closet, and even a cozy study corner. Adjacent to the bedroom was a large balcony featuring a plush lounge chair.

“Isn’t this bedroom too luxurious? What if something gets accidentally damaged? Ah Li, let’s switch to a slightly less extravagant room,” Third Aunt said, feeling a bit overwhelmed, as she had never stayed in such a luxurious room before.

Jiang Li understood Third Aunt’s concerns and coquettishly said, “Third Aunt, don’t worry, just treat it like your own home.”

Third Uncle interjected, “Don’t worry about it. The other rooms are mostly the same. Besides, this is Xiao Chao’s heartfelt gesture.”

Third Aunt, not being unreasonable, hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Although they had always known that their good nephew was wealthy, they had never imagined he was this wealthy. Just the spacious courtyard alone was probably worth several hundred million, considering how valuable land was in Jingdu.

“Ah Li, haven’t you arranged it yet?” Zhou Chao’s loud voice came from downstairs.

“It’ll be ready in a moment!” Jiang Li replied, then took Third Aunt’s arm and headed downstairs.

As for Third Uncle, he promptly carried their luggage straight to the cloakroom and quickly followed upstairs.

As soon as they came down, they saw Zhou Chao and Lin Wu each carrying a fruit platter.

“Third Aunt, Uncle, have some fruits first. It may take a while before dinner is ready.”

Looking at the various fruit platters in front of them, Third Aunt and her uncle only recognized watermelon and cantaloupe by name; the rest were unfamiliar.

However, the aroma of the fruits told them that they were all top-quality.

Third Aunt and Third Uncle had always lived in Fuzhou, a small city in the third to fifth tier. They hadn’t seen much of the world, and even though their family was relatively well-off, compared to the lives of these wealthy people, theirs seemed insignificant.

For a moment, both of them felt a bit awkward.

Zhou Chao glanced at Jiang Li and exchanged a knowing look with her.

Jiang Li understood instantly and picked up a plate of colorful fruits from the table. They were small, finger-sized fruits arranged in a row.

“Third Aunt, try this special one; it’s incredibly sweet. I love it!”

“What is this thing, and why are there so many colors?” Third Aunt asked curiously.

“This is finger lime, Third Aunt. Give it a try!” Jiang Li said, as she opened one, revealing the caviar-like flesh inside.

Watching Jiang Li offer the fruit to her, Third Aunt immediately took a bite, devouring all the flesh inside.

“Mmm, it’s indeed very sweet. Lao Guo, you should try it too!” she said.

Soon, Third Aunt and Third uncle let go of their reservations and began chatting while enjoying the fruits.

After about ten minutes of conversation, the maid, Aunt Kuang, came to inform everyone that dinner was ready.

Immediately, they shifted the conversation to the dining table.
