Su Tiantian's eyes were filled with emotion. This man who was as unrestrained as the wind must have loved her so much that he was so depressed. She leaned on Liu Jingze's broad shoulders and said softly, "Brother Jing, I have liked you since I was a child. Thank you for liking me too."
Liu Jingze hugged Su Tiantian onto his lap, held her waist and kissed her on the cheek. He kissed her for a long time before letting go. He looked at Su Tiantian's slightly red face stubbornly, motionless, and the deep affection in his eyes could not be deceived.
After a while, Su Zhihao put his fist to his lips and coughed twice, then said, "I know this might be a bit of a downer, but I still want to ask about what my brother-in-law just said. Uncle Liu said he'd have Dad marry my sister to you even if it meant sacrificing face. What does this sacrificing face mean?"
Su Tiantian, who was confused by the kiss, also woke up a little. She didn't care about being shy and always felt that this sentence was a bit strange.
Liu Jingze's voice rang out softly, "Your factory is renting my factory building. The contract is for three years, and you can upgrade the rent when it expires. My father doesn't have any factory business, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a few competitors to grab the business. And my uncle's factory is also rented from my family's factory building. My father-in-law and my uncle have a very good relationship."
Su Zhihao broke out in a cold sweat. So, this lack of respect meant resorting to any means necessary, disregarding brotherhood. Liu Liangjie, his father, and his uncle all grew up together, and they'd always had a close relationship. It seemed Liu Jingze truly loved his sister, thinking he'd go to great lengths to marry her. Fortunately, their affection was mutual, and they were head over heels in love.
Su Tiantian was also a little scared after hearing this. She glared at Liu Jingze fiercely. Her tearful face made people feel distressed. She tried to struggle to get off Liu Jingze's legs.
Liu Jingze held Su Tiantian's shoulders with one hand to prevent her from raising her body, and put his other arm around her waist. "Don't be angry, sister Tiantian. Dad was just talking, and I wouldn't let him do that. How could I bear to force you? Dad actually said later that you should work hard on your own. To marry a wife, she must be willing to marry you. Otherwise, how can you live a good life in the future? That's why he arranged for us to go on a blind date."
Su Tiantian calmed down. It was true, but she was still a little angry and looked aggrieved: "You scared me."
Liu Jingze said, "I have restrained my temper in front of you. You haven't really seen me when I get angry."
Su Tiantian quickly stretched out her right hand and gently pulled Liu Jingze's face: "Then show me how fierce you are."
Liu Jingze's face was pulled, and his words were a little unclear, but it was still possible to make out what he said: "I can't bear to be mean to you."
Su Zhihao and Li Yunling looked at each other, and without saying a word, I felt that I shouldn't be in this room, but it wasn't appropriate to leave either.
After coaxing Su Tiantian, Liu Jingze said calmly: "Zhihao, how do you think we should build those two small houses? The area is a bit small."
Su Zhihao looked at Liu Jingze, who still had his sister sitting on his lap and was holding her in his arms, and said, "The area is quite large. One house has 60 square meters of land, so two houses have 120 square meters, which can be built into three floors. The first floor is planned to be used as a shop, and the second and third floors will also be rented out?"
Liu Jingze said, "It's okay if the second and third floors aren't rented out. When your sister gets angry, you'll have somewhere to go."
Su Tiantian blushed, this time out of anger, and punched Liu Jingze in the chest with her right fist: "What are you talking about?"
Liu Jingze was not angry. He just stretched out his left hand to grab Su Tiantian's right hand, pursed his lips, and said in the most gentle voice, which made Su Tiantian even more shy: "Your brother and his girlfriend are watching."
Su Tiantian was really angry and embarrassed, and struggled to stand up. Liu Jingze took Tiantian off his legs, asked her to sit next to him, and said, "Is this okay?"
Su Tiantian felt at a loss and kept silent with her head down. Liu Jingze listened to her subtle breathing and smiled helplessly: "While Zhihao and Aling are here, tell them what kind of house you want to build and what furniture you want to buy. They will definitely satisfy you."
Su Tiantian raised her head and said stubbornly, "It's not them who live here, it's you and I who live here, and we need to be satisfied."
Liu Jingze said, "Yes, it's to satisfy us. You can tell me how they want to build the house. I'll ask them to produce the blueprints and we need to approve the construction as soon as possible."
Su Tiantian said: "I want to use the first floor of both houses as shops and rent out the second and third floors. They are in school districts, so they should be easy to rent out."
Liu Jingze said, "It's easy to rent out. I've rented out my apartment for ten years. But if you don't keep one, can you just move in whenever you want?"
Su Tiantian said, "How much space can I live in by myself? The apartment over there is a duplex with high ceilings, which is perfect for daily living. By the way, Brother Jing, is it easier to rent the house across from the school or the apartment?"
Su Zhihao said: "It must be across from the school."
Liu Jingze nodded: "That's the best middle school in town, and the rent is not cheap."
Su Tiantian said: "If you can rent it out, then rent it out. It's best not to rent a single room, but rent a whole floor."
Liu Jingze said: "This is good. A 60-square-meter apartment on the first floor with two bedrooms and a living room is a small apartment that an average family can live in."
Su Zhihao said, "Yes, that's a good idea. If you want to live there, just leave one floor unrented. Once it's finished, it will become two small buildings. You can rent out the two shops and the other three floors, and slowly earn back the money you spent on the land and the building. Just design the staircase well and it'll be fine."
Li Yunling said: "I saw some houses nearby that can be built into four floors."
Liu Jingze explained: "The regulations in that area only allow three-story buildings. My neighbor has long wanted to demolish and rebuild, and he went to ask."
Su Tiantian said excitedly, "A three-story house is pretty good. I can be a landlady."
Liu Jingze leaned back on the sofa and said lazily, "Do you like being a landlady so much? Hurry up and have a baby, coax Daddy, and I'll leave the factory and the shop to you to take care of."
Su Tiantian threw herself on Liu Jingze, frightening him so much that he quickly reached out to hold her tightly, fearing she would fall. Su Tiantian had a sweet and innocent look on her face, and said in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, "Don't try to trick me into sharing your work. I have my work, and I've also been told not to induce labor."
Liu Jingze quickly said, "No, no, I've already made arrangements with grandma, dad, and godfather."
Seeing how his sister gets along with Liu Jingze, Su Zhihao felt relieved. This man is sometimes domineering, but he is really good to his sister.
