After the group finished their discussion, they handed the matter over to Old Madam Lu to discuss it with Jiang Li.
"Jiang Jiang..." The old lady of the Lu family held Jiang Li's hand and asked with a loving expression, "What kind of house layout do you like?"
"This..." Jiang Li really didn't have any thoughts on this.
After she has a fixed house, she adjusts the layout and furnishings according to the feng shui of the house.
"Which direction do you prefer the main gate to face?" the old lady of the Lu family continued to ask, "South or east?"
"Ahem..." Jiang Li looked bewildered by the question, "N-nothing...it's not important..."
"So, would you like to live in a courtyard house or a villa?"
"Anything...is fine?"
"Jiang Jiang, how can you be so thoughtless?" The old lady of the Lu family was displeased. "A young girl should have her own preferences. Look at the young girls these days, they're so picky. They only want to live in south-facing houses, the layout must be a certain way, the sofa must be a certain brand, the bed must be a certain size... They have so many requirements, one after another..."
The old lady of the Lu family didn't mean that others were making unreasonable demands, but rather that Jiang Li was being compared to them...
They were way too easy to please.
This makes people feel that if it's not done to the best, Jiang Li would be letting herself down.
Jiang Li's head was buzzing from what he was being told. It was just a place to live, wasn't it?
Isn't a bedroom, a study, and a bathroom enough?
Oh, right, let's add a living room and a kitchen too.
Other...
Just do it according to your mood, why have so many requirements?
As for the decoration, just look at the layout of the house.
She just looks at the styles she likes; the brand doesn't matter at all.
As long as the quality is up to standard, that's fine.
Thinking this, Jiang Li was asked a bunch of questions again.
“Um…” Jiang Li pointed to Lu Shiyan next to her, “Ask Ayan. Ayan knows more about these things than I do. As long as he likes it, that’s fine.”
“This is your new house, how can we only let him like it?” the old lady of the Lu family said disapprovingly. “It must be you, the lady of the house, who likes it. He is just an accessory, and his opinions and thoughts are not important.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Was Ayan really not adopted?
"Mom, don't worry about this." Seeing that Jiang Li was completely bewildered by the question, Lu Shiyan quickly came to her rescue. "Leave the renovation to me. I know Jiang Jiang's preferences better than you do. It's just that the location of the new house does need to be carefully considered."
It can't be too far from the company, but it also can't affect Jiang Li's travel.
“Jiang Jiang…” The old lady of the Lu family pushed Lu Shiyan aside again and took out a pile of documents for Jiang Li to see. “Take a look and see which place you like. Once you’ve decided on the place, we’ll choose a house.”
Jiang Li: "..."
With so many houses, she felt overwhelmed by the choices after just one glance.
“How about…” Lu Jiming, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, and then came up with a terrible idea, “Let’s draw lots. You guys number these houses, write a bunch of slips of paper on them, and let Jiang Li draw one. Whichever one she draws is the house she gets…”
My status in the family was already low, and now it's even worse...
Jiang Li was immediately promoted to the darling of their family.
Lu Jiming felt his future was bleak.
Everyone glared at Lu Jiming. "What kind of terrible idea is this?"
"Lu Jiming, if you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll beat you up!" The second son of the Lu family said to his son in an annoyed tone.
Lu Jiming couldn't help but mutter, "Weren't you having trouble deciding? In that case, drawing lots is the best way. I clearly gave you a good idea, but instead of praising me, you all... you even scolded me..."
Jiang Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She wholeheartedly agreed with Lu Jiming's words. "I think Lu Jiming's idea is great. Drawing lots is a good idea. Let's draw lots..."
Upon hearing this, everyone glared at Lu Jiming.
That kid is a real troublemaker.
What if you draw the worst house in the lottery?
Although none of these houses are particularly bad, there are still differences in their quality due to various geographical locations.
Lu Jiming shrank back under everyone's glares, then silently shrank his neck and retreated to the corner. He couldn't help but snort, "Jiang Li is the most powerful one. She'll definitely have amazing luck when she draws lots. If all else fails, let my uncle draw. My uncle's luck has been good since he was a child, you all know that."
"No, we can't let your uncle make the arrest!" The old lady of the Lu family immediately rejected the suggestion. "Your uncle was lucky before, but his best luck was meeting Jiang Jiang. Now that he has successfully brought Jiang Jiang into his household registration, who knows if that luck has run out? So... let Jiang Jiang do it..."
Lu Shiyan: "..."
This is truly a loving mother.
The decision to draw lots has been made, so everyone immediately went to write down their names on slips of paper.
After she finished, everyone stood by with serious expressions, wanting to see what Jiang Li could come up with.
Just as Jiang Li was about to reach out to grab it after getting ready, someone pulled her back. "Wait...wait a minute..."
Jiang Li looked completely bewildered. "Wh...what happened?"
"Before we draw lots, how about... we wash our hands first?"
Jiang Li gave a dry laugh, "Isn't that unnecessary?"
"You must wash your hands!"
"All right."
When Jiang Li returned from washing her hands, someone slipped another lucky charm into her hand.
Jiang Li: "..."
It's really unnecessary. She's different from the unlucky ones; she wants good luck and doesn't need to go through so many potentially useless procedures.
At once……
Can't you just ask a fortune teller and find out?
"Alright, you bunch of black people, stop messing with my wife. Do you think my wife is like you?" Lu Shiyan said arrogantly, stopping the group of people in his family. "Does my wife need to go through all this trouble to have good luck?"
Suddenly, everyone realized Jiang Li's identity and fell silent.
Okay...
They brought this humiliation upon themselves.
then……
Everyone stared at Jiang Li expectantly, eager to see what she would pull out.
Jiang Li felt a lot of pressure from being stared at, so she simply closed her eyes, randomly rummaged through the pile of slips of paper, and grabbed one.
While everyone was anxiously waiting for Jiang Li to open it, they saw Jiang Li casually hand the note to Lu Shiyan, who was standing to the side.
"Ayan, you open it."
Lu Shiyan opened the note, a smile involuntarily curving his lips.
As expected of our own ginger...
That's incredible luck!
Yes, we caught the most valuable one.
She was also his favorite.
"Uncle, what are you laughing at?" Lu Jiming couldn't see what was on the slip of paper, so he couldn't help but peek over. "What did Auntie draw?"
"Here, see for yourself." Lu Shiyan handed the note to Lu Jiming.
Lu Jiming glanced at it and was dumbfounded.
The Secret Manor.
That's the largest manor in the capital, and construction only started three years ago.
It took two years to complete.
But no one has ever known who the owner is.
"Wait a minute..." Lu Jiming looked dazed for a moment, then asked the most important question: "If I remember correctly, this wasn't among the previous properties, so how did it end up on those slips of paper?"
