Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...

Chapter 674 (Page 1/2)

Song Jingjing didn't want to carry her children in slings, but both of her daughters insisted on being held. When one cried, the other followed suit...

Seeing the situation getting more and more out of control, Song Jingjing was extremely anxious. She told Huo Yichen, "Chenchen, Ranran's voice has become hoarse from crying. Put Yanyan in the cradle quickly and hold Ranran."

Huo Yichen hugged the little sister tightly and looked at Song Jingjing pitifully, "Mom, the little sister is too heavy. My arm hurts now. Can I put Yanyan in the cradle?"

Song Jingjing looked at her frail eldest son and felt very guilty. "Son, you've worked so hard. When I'm done with my work, I'll go find Aunt Jie to help look after your sister. Ranran, don't cry. I'll come take care of you when I'm done with my work..."

While trying to comfort the crying Huo Anran, she was busy tidying up the clutter on the coffee table and the dirty diapers on the sofa.

After finishing the cleaning, she got up, took Huo Anran out of the cradle, and went straight to the next room.

"Si Jie, can you help me take care of Anyan these few days? I'll pay you..."

Liao Sijie was stunned. "I'm sorry, Jingjing. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't help it! It's Chinese New Year, and I have a lot of work to do at home, cleaning, and preparing New Year's goods. I really can't spare the time to help you take care of the children!"

After hearing this, Song Jingjing felt a little disappointed, but she also understood Liao Sijie's difficulties. After all, everyone wanted to have a good New Year, and no one could just ignore their own family affairs.

She looked at the mess in Liao Sijie's house and the noisy children and sighed deeply. Liao Sijie did take time out to help her take care of the children. If she had known this would happen, she certainly shouldn't have driven Tang Xue away.

Days like this are hard to endure, and she doesn't know what to do in the days ahead.

After losing the nanny, Song Jingjing's family was in chaos, but Lin Man didn't know about this.

After a long journey, the family finally arrived at the bustling and lively Hai City.

As soon as they got off the car, Huo Qingci had been waiting for a long time. He greeted them warmly, exchanged greetings with the family, took the luggage from everyone, and took them straight to the famous Wang Mansion.

The four siblings, Huo Yining, Huo Yian, Huo Yiwen and Huo Yixin, looked around curiously with their eyes wide open. Their gazes were deeply attracted by the magnificent house in front of them.

The Western-style building was magnificent, with a unique and elegant architectural style, completely different from any house they had seen before.

As soon as they entered the house, the four brothers and sisters couldn't wait to put down their luggage and started exploring.

They were as excited as a group of little monkeys, touching the exquisitely carved railings and looking at the gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and were full of curiosity about every detail.

Huo Yixin trotted over to Lin Man and pointed at a set of dark brown European-style leather sofas in the living room. She asked, "Mom, why are the leather sofas in our house so different from the ones here? There are so many buttons on the sofas here..."

Lin Man smiled and patiently explained, "Xinxin, this is a Western-style building, and the sofas are all imported."

Huo Yixin nodded, not quite understanding, and then said happily, "Mom, this Western-style building is so beautiful! Every piece of furniture inside looks exquisite, especially this sofa, which is much softer and more comfortable than the sofa at home!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sit down on it.

At the same time, the mischievous Huo Yiwen followed Huo Qingci closely, constantly asking, "Dad, Dad, please tell me, how much did it cost to rent this house? It's not cheap, is it?"

Huo Qingci raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Naughty boy, don't worry about this matter, just live here peacefully."

Huo Qingci and Lin Man discussed privately that in order to prevent outsiders from gossiping about them, they did not plan to let anyone know about buying a house except their grandfather.

Worried that their child would tell others about it if they knew, the two lied from the beginning, saying that they were only renting the spacious, bright and beautifully decorated house temporarily.

Not only that, the meticulous Huo Qingci also secretly communicated with Chen Cai in order to prevent the careful children from discovering it.

He earnestly requested Chen Cai not to reveal this secret to the children at home.

In order to continue staying to guard the door, Chen Cai naturally understood the interests involved. How could he easily expose the lies carefully woven by Huo Qingci and his wife?

As Huo Junshan entered the gate of the western-style building, he couldn't help but feel happy.

This Western-style building is huge in scale and covers a very large area. The overall building area is several times larger than that of the traditional courtyard house at home!

As soon as he stepped into the spacious and bright living room of the main building, Huo Li looked around like a curious child, his eyes constantly wandering around.

Then, he excitedly asked the gatekeeper to take him for a walk in the garden.

At the same time, Lin Man gently pulled Huo Qingci's sleeve and led him to a quiet corner. She lowered her voice and said, "Qingci, I just noticed that there seem to be quite a few people in Building No. 1."

Huo Qingci smiled slightly and replied softly, "Manman, I rented out these buildings two days ago. They've been sending people here to do some preliminary preparations. They expect that by the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, their entire unit will officially move in and begin operations."

Hearing this news, Lin Man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then asked: "How is the rent collection going?"

Huo Qingci replied calmly, "The monthly rent for each building is 180 yuan, and we've already successfully rented out three buildings..."

Lin Man pondered for a moment, then began to make some calculations. She figured that leaving these buildings empty was a waste of resources anyway, so earning a few years' salary from them would be a pretty good idea.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and continued to ask, "So, how long is the lease contract you signed with their company?"

Huo Qingci paused for a moment, then replied, "Originally, we agreed on a four-year lease, but after further negotiations, we ended up adding an extra year."

"As long as it's not ten or twenty years, it's fine. If the housing prices remain unchanged for twenty years, we will lose a lot of money."

"Don't worry, we won't lose out. Manman, I see that Grandpa is very satisfied with our western-style house. Do you think he will let the children stay in Haishi to go to school, and he will move in with us?"

Lin Man knew that her grandfather loved this mansion very much, but she also knew that no matter how much her grandfather liked this house, he would never let Huo Qingci and the children stay in Hai City to develop in the future.
