Fatty and Lou Xiao'e explained the reason behind it:
"Ran Qiuye was scared, and she had to consider her parents... Her family left Beijing overnight, and after many twists and turns, they finally arrived in Singapore. She also gave birth to a son with Shazhu, and this time she came back to find her son's father, just a few days before you. They're also staying here. Isn't that a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence! I really want to get to know her. Fatty, can you arrange it for me later?"
"That's easy," the fat man said, quite looking forward to the two of them getting to know each other. He agreed and left in a hurry.
Only after her only acquaintance left did Yu Wanlin become nervous.
Look at their decor, the tiles on the floor that almost reflect your shadow, the spacious hall, and that big light on the ceiling...
She'd never seen anything like this before! How much would it cost to stay here for one night?
Lou Xiao'e, however, had her own plans.
She left Yu Wanlin waiting for a while, until Yu Wanlin was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the place, before she stepped forward and said with a forced smile, "Auntie, shall we go upstairs?"
Yu Wanlin was extremely uneasy at the moment, and had no mind to care about how she was addressed. She asked in return, "Go, go where?"
Lou Xiao'e smiled sweetly: "Come to my room! It's a suite, very spacious. Only Chen Mengxiao and I are staying there. It's such a waste!"
When they arrived at the elevator, Yu Wanlin refused to go in no matter what, and that's when Lou Xiao'e realized that the fat man was indeed an oddball.
People like Yu Li's aunt are normal!
It was Chen Mengxiao who explained the elevator to her before Yu Wanlin cautiously let him help her inside.
A moment later, the elevator doors opened, and seeing the completely different environment, Yu Wanlin asked incredulously, "This, we're already upstairs?"
Chen Mengxiao helped her out of the elevator: "Grandma, this is very simple. You'll learn it after using it twice."
Lou Xiao'e said reproachfully, "How many times have I taught you? Why can't you learn? When you talk to your elders, you should say 'you'!"
This child hasn't learned when to use "您" (you, formal) and when to use "你" (you, informal), unlike Qin Huairu's family, who are all very shrewd.
Yu Wanlin wasn't used to all those formal "you" and "you" greetings; on the contrary, she found them quite comfortable.
Confused and bewildered, Yu Wanlin was pulled into the room by Lou Xiao'e, and was once again thoroughly shocked by the size of the house!
Lou Xiao'e wanted to give up the master bedroom: "Auntie, you can stay in this room, and I'll move to the next room."
Yu Wanlin absolutely refused: "No, no, I can't stay here at all. This is too luxurious. How much would it cost per night?"
Lou Xiao'e gently persuaded, "Chen Mengxiao and I can only stay here. Even if we wanted to stay somewhere else, they wouldn't let us. Oh well, we're already here, and besides, I've already paid. It would be a waste to leave this room empty."
If the fat man heard the phrase "Since you're already here," he would inevitably recall familiar and flattering phrases like "It's no big deal," "It's the New Year," "I'm doing this for your own good," and "The child is still young and doesn't understand."
In just a few words, the core of a matter can be brought out, allowing people to abandon the distractions of other conditions and concentrate all their attention on thinking.
For example, Yu Wanlin quickly came to a conclusion. "Yes, we're already here, and the money has already been spent. Anyway, it was this woman named Lou Xiao'e who spent the money. Consider it a way to vent her anger for Yu Li!"
And so, Yu Wanlin actually stayed at the Hehe Hotel, but of course she didn't take Lou Xiao'e's master bedroom; instead, she insisted on staying in the second bedroom.

On the way back to the courtyard house with Sha Zhu's family, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey Fatty, what are you doing here?"
The fat man glanced at him sideways and said in a pretentious tone, "I've come to visit an old friend."
Sha Zhu was initially puzzled: "An old friend?" He then launched into a scathing remark: "Give me a break! Do you even know where you are? You know what 'international affairs' means..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ran Qiuye interrupted him: "Chen Kang, I didn't know you were such a good driver."
Sha Zhu was about to retort, but seeing the fat man skillfully holding the steering wheel and turning and shifting gears with great ease, he had to reluctantly admit that the fat man was indeed a good driver.
The fat man glanced at Ran Qiuye and said with a grin, "I know a driver who works for Director Ling. Back in the 1960s, I kept pestering him to teach me how to drive. Now, I've been driving for almost 20 years."
Sha Zhu was extremely frustrated. The fat man had managed to pull it off again, right in front of his wife and son!
"..."
They drove the family to the courtyard house. Just as Sha Zhu's family was getting out of the car, they heard the familiar sound of a car engine and Chen Mengqi and Uncle San came out one after the other.
Chen Mengqi misses her dad. These days, Fatty leaves early and comes home late every day, and the father and daughter don't even have time to whisper to each other!
Upon seeing the fat man, she pouted pitifully, "Dad, what are you and Mom so busy with every day? I don't want to eat alone anymore!"
The fat man patted his daughter's head tenderly and said to her, "Why don't you go to the restaurant to eat?"
Chen Mengqi weighs 84 pounds, 80 pounds of which are her rebellious side: "No way! Every time I go there, all the waiters are so obsequious, I don't like it~"
This girl is going through a rebellious phase, and her main goal is to "fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun." She can't stand the ugly world of adults, which is understandable.
The fat man then said to her, "Then why don't you go to your aunt's house for dinner?"
To everyone's surprise, Chen Mengqi rubbed her arms even more, exclaiming, "My goodness! You have no idea how my uncle looks at my aunt! It's even more intense than how Zhang Wei in our class looks at Wang Wenjing!"
The fat man guiltily covered her mouth and said, "Let's go home, let's go home. Dad will cook you something delicious."
Leaving aside how Fatty turned off the engine, pulled the handbrake, locked the car, and went home; let's just say that for some reason, Uncle San ran up to Sha Zhu and stopped him, saying, "Sha Zhu, what are you doing?"
Sha Zhu was most annoyed by him: "Get out of here, what's it to you!"
"You, you, Sha Zhu, I'm telling you, they can't live in this courtyard!"
Sha Zhu almost spat in his face: "Who do you think you are? Open your eyes and look carefully, this is my wife, this is my son!"
After saying that, he pointed to the central courthouse again: "That? Call it my home!"
After saying that, he picked up two suitcases and called to Ran Qiuye and her son, "Let's go home."
The old man stretched out his arms, blocking the way like a mantis trying to stop a chariot: "No, no, they can't stay in our yard!"
"Get lost! Who's talking to you like that? Do you think we're that close?"
Seeing that Sha Zhu was pushing his way inside, the Third Uncle became anxious and shouted, "Sha Zhu! I'm warning you, to strengthen the security of our compound, no strangers are allowed to enter!"
