Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 600 The Reactions of the Crowd

"My God! Sisters-in-law, you are all so beautiful!" Chen Xueqing exclaimed, then ran up to Luo Huijuan and the others, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Upon hearing her words, everyone snapped out of their daze and began to praise Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and the others.

After all, they used to only see the outfits and styles of people like Law Wai-kuen and Sheung Sau-chun on television. Now that they suddenly appeared in front of them, they felt like they were seeing celebrities.

"Do you like them? If you do, I'll take you out to buy some clothes tomorrow!" Luo Huijuan said, holding Chen Xueqing's hand with a friendly smile on her face.

"Really? Sister-in-law, you're so kind!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xueqing couldn't help but hug Luo Huijuan and jump around.

Yu Jiaxue, Wu Caie, Zhen Hexiang, and others couldn't help but look on with anticipation as they gazed at Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen's beautiful and fashionable outfits.

After all, they were all around the same age. Since Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen could wear it, they could naturally wear it too.

I just don't know if they can look as pretty as Xu Yuping and Ma Shufen when they wear them.

"Alright, don't rush. Now, take your luggage to your rooms and settle in. Then get some rest. This afternoon, I'll take you out to sea to see the scenery, and tonight I've prepared a beach barbecue buffet for you."

At this moment, Li Guoqiang stood up, chuckled, and greeted everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of young and beautiful servants came up to Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, and the others, helped them with their luggage, and then led them to the houses on the outskirts of the manor.

Although Li Guoqiang's villa has more than a dozen rooms, it is still enough for him to live in.

However, on the surface, it would be better for him to arrange a more private living space for Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, Luo Guofu, Zhao Qiuyan, and others.

This way, they can relax more, and it also prevents him from disturbing their rest when he plays games with Luo Huijuan and others.

"Qiangzi, just how big is this place?" Li Dawei stood at the entrance of the villa, looking at the rows of seaside villas hidden among various flowers and trees, and couldn't help but ask in awe.

"Well, it's about 100,000 square meters!" Li Guoqiang replied immediately upon hearing this.

"100,000 square meters?" Li Dawei opened his mouth, his face full of shock.

Not long ago, he was worried about his family's small house, which was only a few dozen square meters.

Today, his son lives in a villa estate that spans over 100,000 square meters.

Isn't this way too big?

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang felt a slight smile to himself, then nodded and began to introduce:

"Yes! In addition, besides this main building, there are twenty-three side buildings in this manor."

Fourteen of them belong to your grandchildren and daughters-in-law, one belongs to Sister Yuping and Xiaoxia, one is reserved for you and my mother, one is reserved for Xiaofu and Qiuyan, and the remaining six or seven are reserved for backup.

If my aunt and Aunt Wu want to stay, we will allocate a few buildings to them.

This way, you can see your beloved grandchildren every day, and you can also avoid any unnecessary friction that might arise from living under the same roof.

"Yes, your arrangement is quite good." After listening, Li Dawei nodded and praised it, then followed the servant to the house that had been prepared for them in advance.

As a side building, although its height and area are somewhat smaller than the main building, its two floors and seven or eight rooms are still enough for them to manage.

Even when Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, accompanied by their servants, toured the house they would be living in, they still complained that it was too big.

"Mom, can we really live here forever?" Chen Xueqing looked around the house, then reached out and took Yu Jiaxue's arm, asking incredulously.

"Hmph! We should thank your dad and brother for abandoning us! Otherwise, how could my daughter and I live in such a big and beautiful house!" Yu Jiaxue complained, half resentful and half relieved.

"Heh! That's true!" Chen Xueqing felt a little amused.

At this moment, she was no longer saddened by being abandoned by her father and brother; all she felt was longing for a better future.

While the mother and daughter were getting familiar with the house under the guidance of the maid, on the other side, Zhen Hexiang, Jiang Qiaofeng, and Jiang Xiaohu, a mother and her two children, were also experiencing a small incident in the sea-view villa that had been allocated to them.

"Qiaofeng, tell me the truth, do you like your Uncle Qiangzi?" Zhen Hexiang pulled Jiang Qiaofeng aside and asked with a serious expression.

"Mom, why are you suddenly asking me this?" Jiang Qiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, and then she asked in a flustered manner.

"Don't give me that nonsense, just answer me honestly!" Zhen Hexiang pressed on relentlessly.

"Mom, since you're so eager to know, I won't hide it from you. I've liked Uncle Qiangzi for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that you and Uncle Qiangzi have that kind of relationship, I wouldn't have had to keep it from you all this time!"

Seeing that Zhen Hexiang insisted on breaking the ice, and considering that they were already in Hong Kong, Jiang Qiaofeng gritted her teeth and made things clear.

Because she knew that now was the best opportunity.

If she misses this opportunity, she will only be able to keep her feelings for Li Guoqiang to herself.

"So it really is!" Zhen Hexiang's face showed an extremely complicated expression when she heard Jiang Qiaofeng's answer.

Then, before Jiang Qiaofeng could say anything, she asked seriously, "Aren't you afraid people will gossip?"

"Don't worry, you've seen it yourself. Aunt Yuping and Sister Caixia are following Uncle Qiangzi too, aren't they?" Jiang Qiaofeng said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Zhen Hexiang was speechless.

"Mom, please help me, please talk to Uncle Qiangzi for me, okay?" Jiang Qiaofeng shamelessly pleaded.

After saying that, she saw that Zhen Hexiang remained silent, so she quickly continued to persuade her, "Mom, think about it carefully. You are not young anymore. If you don't help me, will we still be able to live here when you get old?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Hexiang's expression changed instantly.

Although she believed that Li Guoqiang was not that kind of person, she couldn't get over her own conscience.

If Jiang Qiaofeng doesn't take over, will she still have the nerve to stay here when she gets old?
The answer was obviously no. She also thought of Xu Yuping and Zhu Caixia, Liang Xianglian and Erniu, and finally could only sigh and nod in agreement, saying, "Alright! I'll find a chance to talk to Qiangzi about it in the next couple of days."

If he agrees, then you should go with him!
If he doesn't agree, don't complain, understand?

"Don't worry! I know what to do!" Jiang Qiaofeng was overjoyed, and then hurriedly nodded and expressed her opinion.

Just as she was imagining herself being able to accompany Li Guoqiang and become a happy woman like Luo Huijuan, in a nearby seaside villa, Song Guochang suddenly spoke to Wu Caie:

"Wife, how about we have Qiangzi send me back in a few days?"

"No, Lao Song, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to come here and make something of ourselves?" Wu Cai'e raised an eyebrow and said somewhat irritably.

"Ha! Career? What kind of career do you think someone like me can achieve? Look closely at this house, look at everything in this estate. Even if I were still young, let alone now that I'm old, I would never have been able to achieve anything like this in my lifetime."

Song Guochang chuckled, then complained with a dejected look on his face.

"How can that be the same? You're comparing yourself to Qiangzi, aren't you just asking for trouble? How many people in this world are as capable as Qiangzi?" Wu Cai'e rolled her eyes.

Putting aside his career, just considering the number of beautiful women around Li Guoqiang, even if Song Guochang had eight lifetimes, he probably wouldn't be able to win the hearts of so many stunning beauties.

Upon hearing this, Song Guochang was speechless.

"Alright, can you stop thinking so much? Since Qiangzi brought us here, I believe he won't abandon you!" Wu Caie patted Song Guochang's arm and then earnestly advised him.

"Sigh!" Song Guochang looked at Wu Caie, then at the spacious and grand villa in front of him, and finally sighed softly.

In fact, it wasn't that he didn't believe Li Guoqiang could find him a better job or treat him, his uncle-in-law, well.

He just couldn't let go of his pride, feeling that staying in this manor made him seem like a despicable person who sold his wife for personal gain.

If he could, he would rather not have such a big villa, he would rather not have that young and beautiful maid, and he would rather not have all kinds of luxurious treatment.

Unfortunately, he doesn't even have the ability to go back to China now, so he can only ask Li Guoqiang for help.

Soon, it was past four o'clock in the afternoon.

Because they had taken a plane and a car ride in the morning, no one had much of an appetite. So at noon, Li Guoqiang didn't arrange any banquet for everyone, but just had some afternoon tea made to tide them over.

In addition, he also took the time to meet with Big Fool and Fighting Chicken Qiang, who came to visit, to learn about the movements of the Qiangsheng Group and the situation of those major forces in Hong Kong.

After confirming that nothing had gone wrong, he dismissed the person.

Immediately afterwards, he met with Li Chongjiu, the head of security, and gave certain instructions and arrangements regarding the security plan for Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, and others.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems.

However, it's hard to guarantee that no powerful figure might act impulsively and send assassins to cause trouble.

To avoid extreme situations, necessary safety measures should still be taken.

"Qiangzi, let's go! Everyone's already on the bus to the dock." Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and the others came downstairs, all wearing rather conservative swimsuits and sunglasses.

"Hmm!" Li Guoqiang glanced at it, then nodded in agreement with a nonchalant expression, showing no surprise whatsoever.

After all, he had seen it countless times over the past ten years, and he had become somewhat numb to it.

In other words, they are already an old married couple and have long lost the novelty of their relationship.

Soon, he got up and went to the storeroom to take out his precious fishing rod.

Upon seeing this, Luo Huijuan couldn't help but show a worried expression.

Because she knew that no matter how beautiful something is, you'd get tired of looking at it or handling it for too long.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly brought Zhu Caixia and Xu Wanling in, and even set her sights on Chen Xueqing and Jiang Qiaofeng.

After all, it's better to let the meat rot in the pot than to divide it up.

However, she also knew that these were all temporary measures.

In order to keep Li Guoqiang's heart at home, she needs to come up with more effective ways.

At this moment, Li Guoqiang had no idea what Luo Huijuan was planning. After getting his fishing gear, he and Luo Huijuan and the others took a car and left the Seaview Manor, heading to a small pier not far away.

When they arrived, they found that Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, and the others had already boarded the double-decker yacht, their faces full of curiosity and joy.

"Brother Qiangzi, sister-in-law, hurry up and come up!" Chen Xueqing, wearing a two-piece swimsuit, a sun hat, and sunglasses, stood on the yacht waving to Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan, and the others.

Under the sunlight, her fair skin glowed with a youthful and beautiful radiance.

With the sea breeze blowing, her jet-black, glossy hair flew and swayed, giving her a youthful and vibrant look.

Li Guoqiang glanced at it briefly, then took his fishing gear and went aboard the yacht, immediately taking up the best fishing spot on the boat.

Upon seeing this scene, Luo Huijuan couldn't help but roll her eyes. Then, she led Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, and others onto the yacht and kept greeting Yu Jiaxue, Wu Caie, and the others.

"Hey, Juanzi, this outfit is just too much, isn't it? Why don't you get us a new one?" Yao Meilan pulled Luo Huijuan aside, pointed to the rather conservative one-piece swimsuit she was wearing, and asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's alright, everyone here dresses like this. You'll get used to it after a while," Luo Huijuan said with a smile, feeling a sense of relief.

"Alright then!" Yao Meilan saw that Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others were wearing segmented swimsuits with less fabric than her one-piece swimsuit. After hesitating for a while, she finally reluctantly agreed.

Then, she glanced at Li Guoqiang, who was busy tidying up his fishing gear not far away, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
