Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 636 Dinner Party
"Is this really me?" Xiao Dang looked at the extremely gorgeous and beautiful woman in the mirror, and couldn't help but show an expression of disbelief.

"Heh, if it's not you, who else could it be?" Qin Jingru chuckled as she watched Xiao Dang's expression and teased him.

After saying that, before Xiao Dang could say anything, she gently ran her fingers over Xiao Dang's clothes and jewelry, then asked with a soft laugh, "Do you know how much all of your clothes and jewelry are worth in total?"

"How much?" Xiao Dang asked, a hint of curiosity showing in his eyes.

“One million!” Qin Jingru’s expression turned serious, and she spoke each word clearly.

"What? One million?!" Xiao Dang's eyes widened suddenly, and then he looked at the clothes and jewelry in the mirror with some shock.

You know, with the salary she was earning before, she probably wouldn't have earned this much money even if she worked herself to death.

And now, the clothes and accessories she wears are worth a million.

If she hadn't heard and seen it with her own ears and eyes, she probably wouldn't have believed it was true even if she were beaten to death.

"What? You're scared by just one million? You have no idea, each of our concubines has two or three custom-made outfits, each worth tens of millions!" Qin Jingru raised an eyebrow and then introduced with a smile.

"Tens of millions? You're not kidding me, are you?" Xiao Dang was slightly taken aback, then looked at Qin Jingru with some suspicion.

After all, she could understand the possibility of spending millions.

But to say tens of millions, that really exceeded her imagination.

She really couldn't imagine how someone could wear or carry tens of millions of dollars worth of things.

"You can find out this kind of thing by asking anyone in your family. Why would I need to lie to you?" Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at Xiao Dang's questioning and said somewhat irritably.

Then, before Xiao Dang could say anything, she continued with an envious look, "Besides, although our outfits are pretty good, they can't compare to Hui Juan's outfits."

Do you know how much each of her outfits costs?

"Let me tell you, it's probably worth at least hundreds of millions."

"Hundreds of millions?" Xiao Dang felt a little dizzy when he heard this number.

At this moment, even though she had attended high school and was an educated person, she still couldn't understand what it meant to have an outfit worth hundreds of millions.
"What? You can't handle this? I haven't even mentioned anything more expensive yet!" Qin Jingru raised an eyebrow as she looked at Xiao Dang, who seemed a little dazed, and then chuckled as she teased her.

"No, this is already over 100 million, there are even more expensive ones?" Xiao Dang was not shocked at all, but rather puzzled.

After all, once the number reaches an incomprehensible level, adding a few more zeros to the end makes no difference to her.

"That's all. I was just teasing you." Qin Jingru saw that Xiao Dang was numb and immediately lost interest in teasing him, so she shook her head and said.

"Auntie!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Dang immediately stomped her foot, revealing a hint of anger.

Instead of feeling embarrassed, Qin Jingru straightened her expression and said seriously:

"Alright, the main reason I'm telling you all this is to let you know that our family is not an ordinary wealthy family; we have more wealth than you can imagine."

So as long as you can be law-abiding and do your job well, you will enjoy wealth and honor for a lifetime.

But if you dare to cause trouble, it won't be as simple as just being kicked out; you might even lose your life.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Dang's heart skipped a beat, and then, feeling a bit parched, he asked, "Is it really that serious?"

"I can't answer that question for you. You'll understand once you've spent more time here," Qin Jingru said, shaking her head and speaking earnestly.

"Okay!" Xiao Dang could only nod nervously when she heard Qin Jingru say that.

Next, Qin Jingru let Xiaodang familiarize herself with the outfit and regulate her behavior. Then she went to Huaihua and Qin Huairu's rooms respectively, helping them adjust and match their clothes while repeating what she had told Xiaodang.

As a result, Huaihua and Qin Huairu did not react as strongly as Xiaodang.

Although she still showed some shock on her face, overall she was calmer than Xiao Dang.

Among these factors, besides the fact that Huaihua and Qin Huairu are more composed, the main reason is that they have always been simple-minded and not as clueless as Xiaodang.

Soon, as darkness fell outside, the seaside villa estate was gradually illuminated with dazzling lights.

Led by Qin Jingru, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua boarded a sightseeing bus, enjoying the sea breeze and the scenery of the manor as they slowly made their way to the main residence of the villa estate.

When they arrived safely at the main house, before they even got out of the car, they found Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, Yu Li, Xu Yuping, and others already standing at the door waiting for them.

Seeing this, they didn't dare to act arrogantly and hurriedly followed Qin Jingru off the sightseeing bus and walked towards the main house entrance.

Shang Xiuzhen, along with the others, welcomed Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua on behalf of Luo Huijuan, and then personally led them into the main hall of the house.

At this time, the hall was decorated with more festive decorations and had several more rows of tables than it had been at noon.

On the table were plates of delicious food.

Seeing this scene, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua were all somewhat stunned.

Seeing this, Qin Jingru quickly moved closer to them and explained in a low voice.

After hearing the explanation, they finally understood that this dining style was called a buffet.

Just as they were about to ask more questions about precautions, everyone in the hall turned to look at the spiral staircase.

They turned their heads and saw Luo Huijuan wearing a purple cheongsam, a pearl necklace, a pair of imperial green earrings and an imperial green jade bracelet. She gently took Li Guoqiang's arm and walked down the stairs with a dignified and charming expression.

Her temperament and aura were not much different from those of a real imperial concubine in ancient times, making people feel somewhat ashamed in comparison. As for Li Guoqiang walking beside him, although his aura was not strong, he looked very calm and powerful, like a mountain standing between heaven and earth. No matter how beautiful Luo Huijuan was, she could only be a flower or grass on the mountain.

As they descended the hall and stood before the crowd, Luo Huijuan's gaze first swept over Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua, then swept over the other sisters and children, and finally, with a slight smile, she spoke softly:

"Tonight's dinner is to welcome Aunt Qin, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua. We're all family, so don't be so reserved. Help yourselves to whatever you want to eat or drink!"

"Got it!"

Upon hearing Luo Huijuan's words, everyone smiled and nodded in agreement. Then, they gathered in twos and threes, slowly savoring the delicious food on the table under the service of the servants.

Because there are many people living in the seaside villa estate, Luo Huijuan specially assembled a very strong team of chefs to be responsible for the family's three meals a day.

Each of these chefs, taken individually, is capable of preparing state banquets.

If it weren't for the incredibly generous compensation offered by Law Wai-kuen, coupled with the immense power of the Qiangsheng Group, assembling such a culinary team would have been quite a challenge!

"Come on! You're the stars of the show tonight, so don't be shy. Bring on whatever you want to eat, and if you need any help, just ask the servants."

Seeing that everyone else had already started eating, but Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua were still standing there looking a bit lost, Qin Jingru quickly stepped forward and offered some advice.

In fact, given their status and position, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua had no right to have Luo Huijuan organize such a welcome banquet.

It was only because Li Guoqiang had also returned, and Qin Huairu, Xiaodang, and Huaihua were all old acquaintances, that they naturally had to give him this face.

Soon, under Qin Jingru's guidance, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua gradually integrated into the banquet.

After they finished eating, the servants cleared away the tableware and other items, and Li Dawei, Yao Meilan, and the children were all taken back to their house by the servants.

Immediately afterwards, the lights in the hall changed, becoming somewhat colorful, and a beautiful piece of music began to play. At the same time, a small stage slowly rose from the floor.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu and the others were momentarily stunned. Then, Luo Huijuan stood up from the sofa, swayed her hips gently, and walked towards the stage in time with the music.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan, and others also stood up, swaying their bodies and humming along with the music.

In an instant, the entire hall was transformed into a dance hall, and a private one at that, exclusively for Li Guoqiang.

"This...this..." Xiao Dang and Huaihua were completely stunned as they looked at the joyful sea of ​​singing and dancing before them.

Qin Huairu, an older ordinary female worker, felt somewhat lost and confused.

If she hadn't been able to see Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and others' graceful dance moves so clearly, and hear their moving singing voices so clearly, she probably would have thought she was dreaming.

"What are you standing there for? Come on over and play with us!" Qin Jingru pulled Qin Huairu and called out loudly.

That said, opportunities to have fun like this don't come every day.

The main reason, of course, is that the main character, Li Guoqiang, is no longer there.

Soon after, Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua gradually got used to it and even mustered up the courage to stand on the stage and sing the popular songs they used to like. The lights in the hall suddenly became dim again.

Furthermore, the white smoke that appeared from who-knows-where transformed the entire hall into a scene resembling a legendary fairyland.

Under the cover of lights and smoke, pieces of cloth drifted everywhere.
Before we knew it, it was the next day.

Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Huaihua woke up in their bedroom in the main house. After washing up with the help of the servants and changing into new clothes, they went downstairs and saw Li Guoqiang, Luo Huijuan, and others sitting around a long dining table eating. They still felt like they were in a dream.

No matter how they thought about it, they never imagined that their first night in Hong Kong would be so contrary to their expectations.

"You're awake! Come on over and have breakfast together." Luo Huijuan smiled gently as she saw Qin Huairu and the others coming downstairs, and then greeted them with a tender expression.

"Okay!" Qin Huairu and the others nodded in agreement and quickly walked over to sit down.

Meanwhile, the servants who were serving nearby stepped forward and served Qin Huairu and the others a bowl of shark fin soup to soothe their mouths and warm their stomachs.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu and the others nodded their thanks to the servants, feeling a little uncomfortable, and then picked up spoons to scoop some shark fin soup into their mouths and ate it.

The next moment, they only felt that the soup was very delicious, unaware that a bowl of soup like that would easily cost several hundred yuan outside.

"Aunt Qin, Xiao Dang, Huaihua, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask Jingru or come and ask me. Don't feel embarrassed," Luo Huijuan said softly, putting down her chopsticks.

"Okay!" Qin Huairu and the others nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Afterwards, before they could say anything to Li Guoqiang, he finished eating, got up, and left the main house, showing no intention of caring about them at all.

Seeing this, they felt a wave of disappointment, while the others understood each other implicitly.

After all, even Zhu Caixia and Jiang Qiaofeng, who joined later, haven't been able to have a child with Li Guoqiang, let alone Qin Huairu and the others who joined last.

In the eyes of Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen and others, Qin Huairu and the others were only able to come to Hong Kong to enjoy wealth and luxury because of past relationships.

As for the rest, that's none of their business.

And just like that, more than a week passed quickly.

During this period, Li Guoqiang spent time having fun with Luo Huijuan, Shang Xiuzhen, and others, ensuring they were well-fed and watered, while also taking time to properly handle the affairs of Qiangsheng Group.

Once everything was settled, he took a private plane back to Beijing to handle the group's domestic affairs before heading to the selected aerospace base to fully dedicate himself to scientific research.

However, when he returned to courtyard number 95, he saw Liu Haizhong and his second aunt carrying them out of the courtyard.
