Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 842 Greedy Cat

From starting to view the apartment at 1:30 PM to paying the deposit at 3:30 PM, the entire process took only two hours.

All that's left is for the agent to go back and draft the contract, and then find a time to sign and make payment.

For most ordinary people, Li Luo and his friends' speed in viewing and buying houses is nothing short of phenomenal.

This is not because they are born more open-minded than ordinary people, but simply because of the freedom of choice that comes with greater economic abundance.

Li Luo, who lived to the age of thirty-five in her previous life and was still trapped in a predicament of insufficient finances, was naturally well aware of this.

Now reborn, because he still carries the soul imprint of his previous life, he has not picked up any bad habits of spending money extravagantly. However, when it comes to spending big, he never hesitates to spend lavishly.

The province is the province, the flowers are the flowers.

The important thing is to enjoy life.

God gave him a second chance, wasn't it so that he could do this?

"We've found a house, and it's still early." Lin Xiuhong looked at Cui Suling and Yuan Wanqing and couldn't help but ask, "Are you two free this afternoon? Why don't you come to our house for a game of mahjong? Or stay for dinner tonight?"

Cui Suling naturally agreed without a problem, smiling and nodding in agreement.

Yuan Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Wait a moment, I need to ask."

After saying that, Yuan Wanqing took out her phone and called her assistant, Xiaoxuan, to give her a few instructions.

After receiving confirmation, Yuan Wanqing hung up the phone, smiled at Lin Xiuhong, and said, "Okay, let's go."

"Are you alright?" Lin Xiuhong asked hesitantly. "I don't want to interfere with your work."

"We were originally supposed to be shooting a set of photos," Yuan Wanqing said with a smile. "I asked my assistant to change the time. Anyway, it's not a big rush. It's a rare opportunity to get together today, so don't worry."

"That's good." Lin Xiuhong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as well.

Yuan Wanqing is a big star now, making millions in no time. Lin Xiuhong is really afraid that this little thing will delay her.

After clarifying the situation, he excitedly pulled Cui Suling and Yuan Wanqing towards Villa A08.

Li Luo followed behind with three girls, and they soon returned to their villa.

Since the three mothers were going upstairs to play mahjong, Ying Chanxi naturally volunteered to accompany them.

Xu Youyu wasn't particularly interested in this kind of mahjong; if she really wanted to play, she preferred the special version of mahjong she played on Li Luo's birthday.

As for Yan Zhusheng, she really had little interest in mahjong. The reason she was so engrossed in it on her birthday was purely because she wanted to take off her clothes in front of Li Luo.

Now, with only two days left until her birthday, Li Luo followed her mother and the others up to the fourth floor. After entering the entertainment room, she felt a little guilty.

His expression turned strange when he saw the mahjong table and sofa.

Just looking at the scene here now automatically brings back memories of what happened two days ago.

It was a feeling that was truly hard to describe.

The key is that he also has the Memory Palace, so the scene from that day is completely and without any omissions in his mind.

He even specially sealed it away in the collection area of ​​his memory palace.

It's the kind of food that you can take out and savor anytime.

Especially now that Yuan Wanqing and Cui Suling are both there, the thought of their three precious daughters kneeling in front of the sofa just two days ago...

Hmm...that's really crazy.

If Xixi hadn't been drunk at the time, he might not have received such treatment.

“Zhusheng has to do a live stream tonight, so we’d better go downstairs for dinner around 5:30.” Li Luo sat down next to Lin Xiuhong and said to the others at the table, “After dinner, she has to start her live stream at 7:00.”

"Oh right." Yuan Wanqing's face showed a look of realization upon hearing this. "Does Zhusheng need to go to your company for live streaming?"

“No need for that,” Ying Chanxi said with a smile. “I’ve also set up a live streaming setup for her here, so she can start broadcasting directly from home.”

"If Aunt Yuan isn't in a hurry to leave tonight, she can also show her face in the live stream," Li Luo said with a smile. "It can add some surprises and popularity to the live stream."

“That’s definitely not a problem,” Yuan Wanqing said with a smile. “I’m just worried that someone might not want me to visit.”

As she said this, Yuan Wanqing glanced at Yan Zhusheng, who was selecting songs on the karaoke panel, and said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhusheng naturally understood that her mother was referring to her, so she nodded in response, "Yes, that's my live stream room, not yours. If you want to appear on camera, just start your own live stream."

“Look.” Yuan Wanqing helplessly spread her hands and looked at Li Luo.

"Then how come Li Luo was allowed to appear in your live stream?" Ying Chanxi chimed in, "You even insisted on having him join you in the live stream before."

“That way the live stream will be more effective, and Li Luo won’t steal the show,” Yan Zhusheng said seriously. “If it were Mom instead, all the viewers in the live stream would be drawn away by her.”

"So it's because I'm too charming?" Yuan Wanqing covered her mouth and chuckled.

"I don't know if I'm still charming, but I'm definitely getting old," Yan Zhusheng said with a straight face. "Mom, you should rest more."

Yuan Wanqing: "...You child."

"Your mother is old?" Lin Xiuhong said with a laugh. "Look how young she is. If I go out with her, people will think she is my niece. She takes such good care of herself."

"Sister Xiuhong, you're exaggerating," Yuan Wanqing replied with a smile, clearly pleased.

After all, women of all ages always like to hear others compliment them on their youth and beauty.

Even a big star like her is no exception.

After a few rounds of banter, the mahjong tiles on the table started clattering together.

Yan Zhusheng also started singing, providing background music for them.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu watched from the sidelines, occasionally feeding her some fruit. Li Luo would also help his mother win a few prizes.

"Your hands are so smelly, can you please stop helping me draw cards?" Lin Xiuhong said with a hint of annoyance as she slapped Li Luo's thieving hand away.

"Trust me one more time!" Li Luo said firmly.

Seeing his serious expression, Lin Xiuhong reluctantly gave him another chance.

Upon touching it, it turned out to be another east wind.

"Get out! Get out!" Lin Xiuhong waved her hands repeatedly. "Don't sit here. It's bad luck. You've ruined my luck at cards."

"Tsk." Li Luo was also a little frustrated, wondering what was going on with this mahjong game, which seemed to be working against him all the time.

Cui Suling, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled, patting Li Luo's shoulder to comfort him, "This isn't a bad thing. You've been riding the wave of success all along, which means you're in the limelight and everything you do is going smoothly."

Yuan Wanqing, sitting opposite, smiled and said, "Everyone else has everything ready except for the east wind, but you don't lack the east wind at all."

Although the words sounded nice, Li Luo was still a little annoyed, so she simply stopped watching them play mahjong and went over to sing with Yan Zhusheng. Seeing this, Yan Zhusheng used Li Luo's body to block Cui Suling's view, and then secretly moved closer to Li Luo, touching him here and kissing him there.

Seeing this, Xu Youyu stood up helplessly, moved to a different spot next to Cui Suling, and sat down in the empty space between her and the sofa to block the view for the two of them.

"Why are you changing seats?" Cui Suling asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Li Luo just gambled away Aunt Lin's luck, so I came over to bring her some good luck," Xu Youyu said with a grin.

"It's still better to have fish." Lin Xiuhong chuckled.

To her left is Xu Youyu, who pours her tea, adds water, and hands her fruit; opposite her is Ying Chanxi, who is playing mahjong with them when they are one player short.

On the sofa next to them sat Yan Zhusheng, singing with his son.

If there is only one daughter-in-law, then she can only do one thing at a time.

Now that they have three girls, their happiness index is soaring.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuhong's eyes subtly swept over Yuan Wanqing and Cui Suling, and a sense of helplessness welled up in her heart.

I don't know how I'll face their questions if things come to a head.

Thinking about this, Lin Xiuhong felt a headache coming on again.

Not knowing what her son was thinking, Lin Xiuhong glanced at Li Luo, who was still leisurely sitting there, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

This brat doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all; I wonder what his plans are.

Can you really keep something like this a secret forever?

We'll have to talk this out completely eventually.

Li Luo, sitting on the sofa, was unaware of his mother's worries. After singing with Yan Zhusheng for a while, he felt her secretly tug at his arm.

Turning his head to look at Yan Zhusheng, he saw her lean close to his ear and whisper, "I want to go to the piano room to adjust the live streaming equipment. Would you like to come with me?"

“Okay.” Li Luo, without suspecting anything, got up, said something to the others, and then took Yan Zhusheng with him to leave the entertainment room and head towards the piano room not far away.

As soon as Li Luo entered the piano room, Yan Zhusheng pushed him onto the sofa.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't wait until tonight." Yan Zhusheng plopped down on his stomach, placed her hands on his chest, and looked at him expectantly. "I have to do a live stream tonight, which ends at nine o'clock. Xixi might even drag you to take a shower together then, and I might not even have a chance."

"Didn't you say you were coming to debug the equipment?" Li Luo said helplessly.

"Just kidding." Yan Zhusheng's eyes crinkled as she leaned down and kissed Li Luo's lips. "Aren't you ready yet?"

"What are you saying?" Li Luo narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and flipped her over, pinning her down. "Even at noon, I could still do it."

"But this kind of thing shouldn't be done too frequently, otherwise, over time, it can easily cause health problems."

"We are still young, so we need to start taking care of our health now, otherwise we will regret it when we get older."

Yan Zhusheng could only blink and say "Oh" as he talked nonsense. Then she leaned down and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's hurry up."

"Heh, you little glutton."

……

In the piano room, short, chaotic piano playing occasionally drifted out, like a beginner randomly striking the keys.

Fortunately, the soundproofing on the fourth floor is excellent. Unless you stand at the piano room door and eavesdrop, you absolutely cannot hear anything coming from here.

Not to mention the people playing mahjong in the recreation room.

Around 5:30 in the evening, when Butler Liu came upstairs to inform everyone that dinner was ready, Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng also came out of the piano room, dressed neatly.

The group went downstairs for dinner, and Li Guohong also invited Xu Rongsheng to join them.

Apart from Ying Zhicheng, who had other matters to attend to at the company and couldn't make it, everyone else was present.

"If you ask me, why don't we just come here for dinner from now on?" Li Guohong poured Xu Rongsheng a small glass of wine and suggested with a smile. "Anyway, Li Luo hired a chef here, so it's not a waste. This place is also close to Qian Da University. I think it's pretty good."

Because of her work, Yuan Wanqing couldn't come here to eat together every day, so she didn't offer any opinions.

But Cui Suling was clearly quite interested.

She usually has to go home to cook and wash dishes, so if they could come over and eat together, it would save her a lot of trouble.

The key is that if she and Lao Xu could come over more often, have meals and chat with Li Luo and his family, their relationship would gradually develop.

It's never a bad thing for the two families to visit each other more often.

Although Xu Rongsheng had also thought of this, he still shook his head slightly and then said, "Then there's no need to come every day, that would be too much of a bother. I think it would be nice to get together once a week."

"If that's the case, then I can come over and sit with you when I have time," Yuan Wanqing replied with a smile after hearing Xu Rongsheng's suggestion.

"Okay, okay," Lin Xiuhong immediately agreed with a smile, "How about we get together every weekend from now on?"

"Since I've already bought the house, I can also come and keep an eye on the renovation."

"This can be considered killing two birds with one stone."

This was met with unanimous agreement, and the conversation at the dinner table then shifted to the topic of decorating the new house.

These three houses are for the future residences of the parents. Li Luo and his children didn't say much and let their parents use their imagination to design them according to their own needs.

Anyway, with Butler Liu around, we can contact the construction team from last time. We can leave all the main materials, auxiliary materials, home appliances, and furniture to Butler Liu.

That's very convenient.

We need to give him a raise, since he won't be managing just this one villa anymore. The management of the other three townhouses will also have to be handed over to Butler Liu in the future.

Li Luo pondered these things and ate a hearty dinner.

Yan Zhusheng glanced at the time; it was already close to 7 p.m., so she stood up first and said, "I have to go upstairs to prepare for the live stream."

“I’ll go with you.” Ying Chanxi also stood up. “Let’s check if there are any problems with the live streaming equipment.”

"Let's go." Li Luo stretched and followed behind. "Dad, you guys should drink less. With Sister Yu here, I'll trouble you to play mahjong with Mom and the others for a while."

"Okay." Xu Youyu gave an OK sign and waved for them to go ahead and get busy.

Soon after.

At 7 p.m., Yan Zhusheng's exclusive live stream room started on time.
