Chapter 427 Home and housekeeper
Shu Tong, Chu Yuan, Mother Shu, and I led the way in Min Rou’s car, while Father Shu and Grandma Shu, as well as Mrs. Meng, who felt ’embarra.s.sed’ to decline the invitation, followed in Dong Xiaoye’s car.
G.o.d knows what was wrong with me. I always felt that my mind was in a mess and it was difficult for me to concentrate. It was not the first time that Chu Yuan sat next to me. Not long ago, she even slept with me on the same bed every day. The smell of her body was also something that I was very familiar with, but for the first time, I was fl.u.s.tered by the smell. Even when Mother Shu chatted with me, I only responded absentmindedly without even knowing what I was saying.
After the car drove on the Fourth Ring Road, Shu Tong, who was sitting on the other side of me, suddenly put her hand on my thigh. I was taken aback and looked at her in confusion, wondering where she got the courage to s.e.xually hara.s.s me. But then I found that she didn’t look at me at all, but kept staring out the window. Her expression was a little abnormal, and her hands were gripping my thigh harder and harder.
“What happened? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
“What?” Shu Tong turned around as if startled, her face full of confusion.
I pointed to her hand that was gripping my thigh, feeling speechless.
Shu Tong let out a soft cry and apologized, “Ah! I’m sorry.”
Mother Shu, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, turned her head and asked, “What happened?”
“No, nothing.” Shu Tong said and winked at me again and again. I was confused and didn’t understand what she was trying to tell me.
“Really?…” Mother Shu was suspicious, but she did not carry on asking. Seeing her smile so ambiguously, most likely, she thought that we were secretly flirting with each other, “Xiao Chu, where do you live? Why didn’t you show Miss Min the way? Does she know where you live?”
Where do I live? I was actually stumped by this question.
“Don’t worry, Auntie, we won’t get lost,” Min Rou smiled, “I am Mr. Chu’s secretary and his part-time chauffeur. I have been to his house many times, so I know where he lives.”
Seeing Min Rou’s strange sweet smile in the rearview mirror, and Shu Tong’s vigilant and worried gaze, I suddenly realised what happened. While Mother Shu and Ming Rou were talking, I lowered my voice and asked Shu Tong, “Where is your colleague’s house?”
Maybe Shu Tong was frustrated at how slow my reaction was, she responded in a huff, “Near the Third Ring International Trade Bridge.”
Chu Yuan didn’t know what we were talking about, but she heard Shu Tong’s words, “Third Ring International Trade Bridge? But we just drove past there, right?”
Er… No wonder Shu Tong had a strange expression on her face. We were getting farther and farther away from the International Trade Bridge…
Of course, I didn’t think that Min Rou would get lost. She knew exactly where she was going. However, I couldn’t help but wonder where she wanted to take us, and what her purpose was.
Considering that Mother Shu was sitting on the side, Shu Tong and I were not able to say anything. We could only let Min Rou lead us to wherever she wanted us to go.
The cars eventually stopped at the door of a luxurious villa, and it wasn’t until Min Rou smiled and said to us, “We are home,” that we woke up from the shock.
Looking at the villa house that would normally only appear in a fairy tale book before our eyes, Mother Shu was so shocked that her mouth was wide open and she was unable to close it for a while, “Xiao Chu, this… is this your house?”
I simply nodded, without explaining anything to her. After all, I also didn’t know what was going on. But this villa was so d.a.m.n big. It was even bigger than Mo Yizhi’s villa…
Mother Shu Shu vigorously poked Shu Tong’s forehead, and reprimanded angrily, “You bratty girl, why did you lie to me? Why did you say that Xiao Chu only has a small flat that has four bedrooms and two living rooms? Tell me! How does this villa look like four bedrooms and two living rooms to you? Even our village chief’s house is not as big as this, and the courtyard of the village committee is also not as s.p.a.cious as this!”
Hearing Mother Shu’s comparison, Shu Tong felt so embarra.s.sed that she almost wanted to find a place to hide, “Mom, can you stop talking?”
Chu Yuan couldn’t help but swallow, “Elder Brother, this is… Our house?” She was also shocked.
“Probably…” Fortunately, Mother Shu was arguing with Shu Tong so she did not hear our conversation. What was Min Rou thinking? Did she forget that Chu Yuan and I were both commoners? How could we afford such a place? Or did she want to see us making a fool of ourselves again?
“It’s about the same size as Dongfang’s house.”
“Huh?” I couldn’t help but be surprised. This independent villa was located within the Fourth Ring Road. It was a rare piece of quiet land in the busy city. According to visual inspection, it covered an area of 1,000 square meters, equipped with a swimming pool, a tennis court, and two garages.
Based on my conservative estimate, the market value of this villa would not be less than 30 million. Although there were quite many well-off people in Bei Tian city, the number of people who could afford this kind of villa was still very small. If this villa belonged to Min Rou, I would not be very surprised. But Dongfang’s family also lived in this kind of villa? This was something that I didn’t expect at all.
If she had such a nice house, why did she want to live in my tiny flat? Was there something wrong with her head?
While Dong Xiaoye and the others got out of the car, three women walked out of the villa. The woman who walked in the front looked like she was in her mid-thirties. She, who was wearing her hair in a high bun, had a pointed face and delicate facial features. Her skin was as pale and smooth as jade, and her blue cheongsam perfectly outlined her curvy figure. Although her figure was a little slim, it did not give a bony feeling. On the contrary, it gave people a graceful and elegant feeling, exuding the endless charm of a mature woman all over her body. It not only made my heart beat rapidly, it also made Father Shu’s face flush red.
What a beautiful and elegant mature woman.
The lady in the cheongsam smiled and walked directly toward me. I couldn’t help but gasp after she came closer. She was so tall! Even though she was wearing high heels, I could tell that she was still taller than Liusu without high heels. The tall mature woman said sweetly with a slightly charming voice as if she was very familiar with me, “Mr. Chu, Miss Chu, and Miss Dong, welcome home, Miss Shu, welcome.”
I was sure that I had never met this woman before, but not only was she able to recognize me, but she also seemed to recognize Chu Yuan, Dong Xiaoye, and Shu Tong…
Mother Shu secretly pinched Father Shu’s waist fiercely to wake him up. Before the embarra.s.sment, surprise, and envy faded from her face, she asked me, “Xiao Chu, she is…?”
‘How would I know who she is? !’
Fortunately, Min Rou didn’t seem to want to see me making a fool of myself. She smiled and said, “This is Mr. Chu’s housekeeper, Sister Ya.”
“Housekeeper?” Mother Shu was probably not familiar with the job of a housekeeper, so she was confused.
“Madam, you can just call me Ruo Ya,”
The elegant woman who didn’t look like a housekeeper smiled and looked at the food ingredients that Father Shu was carrying. “You are Mr. Chu’s distinguished guests, so please come in. Xiao Jie, Xiao Xuan, carry those things for the guests.”
The two young girls in maid outfits behind her quickly responded and stepped forward.
Father Shu’s reaction was very funny. Ruo Ya was looking at what he was carrying, but he thought that she was looking at him. He was so nervous that he didn’t even dare to look at her. When the two girls stepped forward, wanting to carry the food ingredients for him, he even instinctively took a step back in a panic and wanted to hide behind Grandma Shu. It caused the two girls in maid outfits to burst out giggling. But it was so embarra.s.sing for Mother Shu and Shu Tong that they couldn’t help but blush. I also felt that my face was very hot.
After entering the house, I was once again impressed by the look inside of the house.
The decoration inside of the house was more exquisite than Long Xiaotian’s villa in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort.
The s.p.a.cious and bright living room was dominated by white tones, with European cla.s.sical style furniture and modern home appliances. But it didn’t give off any incongruous feeling. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could directly see the swimming pool and the garden behind the house. The azure blue pool was clean and quiet, and there were petals floating on the water; the quiet, elegant, and leisurely atmosphere made people feel relaxed and comfortable.
I’ve never been a materialistic person, but I also couldn’t help but wonder how great it would be if this were my real home…
