Chapter 80 Mansion
At Lin Hanzhi's signal, the car crawled slowly in the darkness and drove extremely smoothly, only slightly bumping in front of a deceleration device at an intersection before entering the manor.
This woke up Qi Gudian, who was already half asleep. He half opened his eyes sleepily, and there was mist in his eyes, which made his originally cold face look a little softer.
When I opened my eyes, I was met with Lin Hanzhi's inquiring gaze.
He didn't know how long Lin Hanzhi looked at him like this, he subconsciously stepped back a little: "What's wrong, why don't you sleep?"
When they first got on the car, Lin Hanzhi was as exhausted as I was. How come he is so energetic now?
Could it be that Lin Hanzhi's physical strength is better than mine?
Qi Gu ruled out this option immediately.
Lin Hanzhi weighed the phone and said, "I'm replying to messages. I can't sleep. There's nothing I can do. This is what happens when children are rebellious. This unfilial daughter always goes against Tian Gang to urge her father to get married."
Qi Gu’s cold face was filled with shock, and his sleepiness instantly disappeared:? ? ? ! ! !
No, my friend, you didn’t tell me that you are so young and successful and you already have a child!
"He's not a biological child." Seeing that Qi Gu had misunderstood, Lin Hanzhi quickly added.
"Then?" Qi Gu was rarely curious about other people's affairs, but he would still give appropriate concern to his friends.
"She is my adopted daughter. She is already eighteen years old this year. She has a bad life and we as parents have to take some responsibility for it. Let her be a little rebellious." Lin Hanzhi sighed and looked like she was complaining to her husband that the child was no longer under the control of her mother when she grew up.
"Then...what should we do?" Qi Gu had no experience in dealing with family matters, but he consciously put on the role of a parent when answering Lin Hanzhi's questions.
"It's okay. Children who are disobedient are probably spoiled. Just leave her alone for a few days." Lin Hanzhi said as he looked at Qi Gu with a serious expression, but asked a strange question, "Do you like boys or girls?"
Qi Gu: “…”
Hiss, such a familiar line, but doesn’t it usually happen between couples who are trying to have a baby?
"You don't like any of it?" Lin Hanzhi frowned slightly, the corners of her peach blossom eyes drooped, and she looked a little troubled.
"Um...is everything okay?" Qi Gu had never thought about having children, so naturally he wouldn't consider more related topics.
With his unlucky fate, wouldn't it be harming a girl if he really married her?
Qi Gu would never do such an immoral thing.
My master once said that if you are looking for a partner, you should either find someone with a good fate who can control your luck, or find someone who is as unlucky as you. Don't look down on anyone else, and you should have a good relationship with someone who fits your situation.
For the former, Qi Gu felt that isn’t that just asking others to help alleviate poverty?
As for the latter, Qi Gu felt that life would become more and more miserable, so he decided to just forget it.
"All is OK? That's great. Your spirit of giving birth to a boy or a girl the same is worthy of learning for our people." Lin Hanzhi said with a smile. For some reason, her smile looked a bit like she had found a savior.
Qi Gu: "...should be?"
Every time he communicated with Lin Hanzhi, he always felt that the other party seemed to have something else to say, but he had no evidence.
However, everyone is a different individual and has different living habits... Maybe Lin Hanzhi just likes to talk like this?
"By the way, what do you want to eat?" Lin Hanzhi took out a pad from the car door and clicked it to open a menu. "All the dishes our chef can make are listed here. You can choose from them."
Qi Gu was originally wondering why he had to use the pad applet to order food, but when he took it and looked at it carefully, he found that the menu could not be scrolled to the bottom.
Fortunately, each cuisine and type has been vertically subdivided and handled very carefully. Although there are many choices, Qi Gu can still choose the dishes that interest him most in the fastest time.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the manor.
In front of you is a stretch of villas in the night. Several large and small single-family houses surround the main building in the middle. The style is European, and there are fountains and exquisite European stone sculptures sprinkling water in front of the door.
Qi Gu took a moment to miscalculate and almost thought he had traveled through time to a Western palace.
"I'm sorry, my parents like a more exaggerated style... They designed this themselves and asked someone to build it," said Lin Hanzhi.
Qi Gu asked instinctively: "Your parents are here too...but I didn't bring anything. Would that be a bad idea? How about you take me to the supermarket to buy some gifts first?"
"It's okay, they don't live here anymore." Lin Hanzhi said with his eyes downcast, a look of loneliness flashing across his face.
Qi Gu missed the instant change in Lin Hanzhi's expression because of his anxiety.
Outside the car, the butler and waiters were already standing in two rows, respectfully waiting for the master to get off the car.
"Master. Welcome home!" The butler was a plain-looking man in his early thirties who looked shrewd with rimless glasses. His name was Jing Ping. After graduating from the Butler Academy five years ago, he followed in his father's footsteps and came to work for the Lin family.
"Thank you, everyone has worked hard. Go back and have a rest after receiving your overtime bonus." Lin Hanzhi said to everyone, then turned to Qi Gu and said, "My parents like this kind of exaggerated style because they were following a Western palace drama at that time."
He tried his best to keep the place as it was before.
Qi Gu: "During that period? Does that mean they also liked other styles?"
"Yes, there was a time when they liked the cool style, so they changed the exterior of the house to black and purple, making it look like a fairy castle, and the butler also had to wear a black and purple tuxedo." Lin Hanzhi chuckled as he recalled the past.
What a hearty, big-time Spree this is.
Qi Gu was deeply shocked and felt that rich people really knew how to have fun.
Jing Ping, who was standing by, listened to what Lin Hanzhi said, and the corners of his emotionless lips curled up slightly, and then he bowed respectfully at 90 degrees to Lin Hanzhi and Qi Gu: "Thank you, young master. I will withdraw first. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
The well-trained waiters were taken away by Jing Ping, and Lin Hanzhi led Qi Gu into the main building.
The main building covers a huge area and is very luxurious. Countless crystal chandeliers hang from the dome ceiling, reflecting dazzling light and being spotless.
Lin Hanzhi said, "This is a large banquet hall. The two of us won't eat here. It looks a bit like the restaurant in The Shining."
Qi Gu: “…” Has anyone ever said that about their own family?
Going up the spiral staircase, there are some small restaurants on the second floor, which are usually used by the Lin family to hold small gatherings or entertain relatives and friends.
Qi Gu followed Lin Hanzhi into one of the small halls. The light in the hall was not as luxurious and dazzling as on the first floor, but much softer. There were steaming hot exquisite dishes on the table. Qi Gu was deeply shocked at just one look.
No...what kind person can make the dishes look like the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival?
"This dish... is too exquisite. Was your chef a painter in the past?" Qi Gu asked.
"I have a background as an imperial chef, but I made a decision that went against my ancestors and became a painter. After working as a painter for a few years and becoming famous, I felt that painting alone was boring, so I started to study creative dishes, combining the imperial cooking skills inherited from my family with painting." Lin Hanzhi said, "You know, my parents like exaggerated styles."
Qi Gu: "With so many prerequisites, this chef sounds very expensive."
"Five million after tax, including a luxury car for pick-up and drop-off. But I'm busy with work, so I can only come back a few times a year."
Qi Gu was gloomy for two seconds and wanted to ask God why such a happy and lazy job did not belong to him.
But he soon realized that since Lin Hanzhi was so rich, why should he go to that crappy class that didn't treat him like a human being but like an animal?
He doesn't look like the kind of person who is dedicated to his job.
"Given your family's situation, why don't you change jobs?" Qi Gu asked.
"Secret." Lin Hanzhi put her finger to her lips and blinked at Qi Gu.
Since Lin Hanzhi was unwilling to say, Qi Gu didn't ask any more questions.
As soon as the meal was finished, various fried snacks, drinks and a fruit platter were brought to the table. The fruit plate was even made to look like a flower basket, and fruits of different colors and shapes were carefully carved into the shapes of various flowers, so exquisite that it looked like some kind of work of art.
It can be seen that the chef is really trying hard to show himself and doesn't want to lose this perfect job.
While eating, he watched a projected variety show. While waiting for all the issues to be resolved, Qi Gu was already feeling dizzy from the food. He thought the laughter from the projected screen was very hypnotic and made him want to sleep.
Lin Hanzhi noticed it and said considerately, "You're sleepy, let me take you to your room."
Qi Gu stood up quickly: "A little bit."
The Lin family's villa complex was like a big maze. After Qi Gu followed Lin Hanzhi through several corridors, he became a little confused about the directions. He sweated more and more as he walked, and was worried about how he would get out tomorrow.
Seeing his worry, Lin Hanzhi said, "I live very close to you. If you can't find the way tomorrow, you can find me."
"good."
A few minutes later, the two of them came to the second floor of one of the small buildings. Lin Hanzhi opened the door for Qi Gu: "This is your room. If you need anything, you can call the internal line to find the housekeeper. He will answer the phone 24 hours a day. If you don't want to find him, you can also contact me directly."
He pointed to another building connected to this small building, which could be seen from the corridor on the second floor: "That's my room over there."
It was indeed very close, and it was a road that even Qi Gu, who was a person with a poor sense of direction, could remember clearly.
"Remember, good night." Qi Gu said.
Lin Hanzhi stood under the eaves, the light from the lantern on the corridor behind him shone over him. His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was not used to being greeted like this. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Good night."
The voice was actually trembling.
After watching Lin Hanzhi's thin figure walk through the corridor and enter the house, Qi Gu closed the door and began to look around the room.
The style of the room is also European. It is obvious at a glance that all the accessories are expensive, and all kinds of supplies are very complete. Qi Gu took a look around and took out a bathrobe and went into the bathroom.
Then, I was stumped by three bottles of cleaning products in the bathroom that looked like they were from the same brand, but because they were in a niche foreign language, I couldn't tell what their functions were.
Go ask Lin Hanzhi?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Qi Gu opened Taobao and chose to take a photo to recognize the image.
Soon, Qi Gu distinguished between shampoo, shower gel and body lotion, turned on the expensive faucet without a trace of scale, and began to wash.
It's not a problem for him at all!
