Chapter 144 Discovered
The sudden arrival of the four elders of the Ruan family was something no one expected.
Nie Heng was dumbfounded. He glanced at Yang Liu and Ruan Fengmian before him, then at Grandpa and Grandma Ruan standing in the yard, and let out a resounding "Fuck!" in shock.
"Who are you scolding, little brat?" A soft, clean hand, mixed with the power of thunder, slapped him on the back of the head.
Nie Heng, who is about 1.8 meters tall, was photographed so hard that he staggered.
He quickly slapped himself on the mouth and begged Yang Liu for mercy, "Aunt Liu, I was wrong. Please don't hit me. My brain is not working well to begin with, and if you hit me again, I will become even more stupid."
"What does your poor brain function have to do with me?" Yang Liu retracted her hand and blew slowly on her nails. "That was caused by your master hitting her with a rice bowl."
Nie Heng: “…”
Nie Heng didn't dare to speak. Aunt Liu of the Ruan family was the most powerful. He didn't dare to offend her.
In the yard, Ruan Qi hugged Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan for a while, and her excitement finally subsided.
She walked between the two elderly people, holding one of them with one arm in each, and said, "Grandpa and grandma, it's hot outside, let's go inside and talk."
The little girl supported the old man obediently and walked slowly into the villa gate.
"Grandpa and grandma!" Nie Heng called out with a smile, found a few pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, and then turned and shouted towards the kitchen, "Brother Nan! Senior Brother! Uncle Ruan and the others are here! Come out quickly!"
The boy's clear voice passed through the living room and into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the sound of the range hood was buzzing, and the sounds of cutting vegetables, frying, and the clashing of pots and pans mixed together.
Xu Xiangyang, who was closest to the kitchen door, vaguely heard Nie Heng's shout. He glanced outside the kitchen and asked, "What is Nie Heng shouting?"
Ruan Munan was busy chopping dumpling fillings, while Xi Jiu was peeling garlic next to the range hood. The noise was so loud that the two of them didn't notice anything outside.
"Did the doorbell ring just now?" Ruan Munan asked while waving a kitchen knife. "That must be Master Beilou coming back. Xiangyang, go out and take a look."
"I can't leave because of my fried meatballs." Xu Xiangyang held up the colander and raised his chin towards Xi Jiu. "Master Xi, can you go?"
Xi Jiu, who had already peeled three pounds of garlic, looked at him expressionlessly, then turned on the faucet to rinse his hands, turned around and left the kitchen.
At the entrance, Ruan Qi obediently helped Grandpa Ruan and Grandma Ruan change their shoes.
Aside from Yang Liu, Ruan Fengmian, Grandpa Ruan, and Grandma Ruan were all visiting Yuyuan Villa for the first time. They kept looking around the villa, worried that their little one might not be comfortable.
"My dear, isn't this villa too small?" Ruan Fengmian estimated the size of the entrance hall and said with a bit of disdain, "The area of this entrance hall is not even as big as our pigpen."
Nie Heng: “…”
"Feng Mian is right. This house is a bit small." Grandpa Ruan glanced worriedly at the Nordic-style shoe cabinet on the wall. "How many pairs of shoes can this small cabinet hold? It's not even big enough for the rubber boots we wear when we go to the fields to plant vegetables. Granddaughter, this house is too small. How about getting a bigger one?"
Nie Heng: “…”
"Upgrading to a bigger house? Land in the capital is incredibly expensive, don't you know how expensive housing is?" Grandma Ruan glared at Grandpa Ruan. "Xiao Qi just entered the entertainment industry, how could he possibly afford to upgrade his house? Houses in big cities are incredibly expensive these days, and many people can't even afford one even after working their entire lives. I'd rather just buy a piece of land and build a house yourself, where you can live comfortably!"
Nie Heng: “…”
Is that enough?
When you have enough, buy a plane ticket back home.
Nie Heng's mouth twitched speechlessly, while Ruan Qi listened with a smile, not feeling that her elders were being too polite at all.
Yang Liu, who had changed into slippers, heard the conversation between her husband and her parents-in-law. She rubbed her forehead with a headache and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly caught sight of Ruan Qi's collarbone exposed outside her T-shirt.
"Baby." Her gaze paused, and her peach blossom eyes, which were eighty percent similar to Ruan Qi's, narrowed slightly. "How did you get the mark on your collarbone?"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Mr. Ruan: The house is too small, not even as big as a pigpen.
Grandpa Ruan: The shoe cabinet is too small, even rubber boots can’t fit in it.
Grandma Ruan: Land and housing prices in the capital are too high. We don’t have that much money, so we should just buy land.
Nie Heng: I’m so annoyed by Fan.
