Third Master and Fifth Master waved their hands at her indifferently.
They saw how much Yu Lei loved Lan Guoer. They were so happy for their little niece that they would never bother with her about such a trivial matter.
The Third Master waved to the car behind him, and Amin understood and drove away tactfully.
Safety in the compound is guaranteed, and they don't need to guard it all the time. It's a rare opportunity to come to Hai City, and the brothers are looking forward to the opportunity to go out for a stroll!
The room was filled with the aroma of food, and the staff was still busy in the kitchen.
"Auntie Wang, the guests have arrived! Hurry up and serve the food. Dinner is almost ready."
As soon as Yu Lei entered the house, she gestured towards the kitchen.
It was Lan Guoer's first time to come to Yu Lei's house, and her little eyes were rolling around looking around.
The room is decorated in a typical Chinese-Western style of old Shanghai. The living room is spacious and bright, with intricate European sofas, crystal chandeliers, standing clocks...very luxurious and stylish.
"This place used to be a concession area, and many of the things in the house were left by the original owner. It was like this when it was given to us.
If it weren't for this, based on the situation in the past few years, coupled with your uncle's rough personality, it would be impossible for him to buy all these things! In fact, I am also benefiting from the original owner's kindness! "
Seeing that she was interested in the layout and furnishings of the room, Yu Lei explained while inviting them to sit down.
Lan Guoer nodded and sat down. "This house has a nice layout, and Second Aunt has decorated it well. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it."
Lan Guoer still admires Yu Lei's taste.
"This is nothing! Compared to your Lan family's villa, this is nothing!" Yu Lei sighed! "By the way, you still don't know where the Lan Mansion is? What does it look like?
Oh my! It’s right here in the concession area, only about ten minutes from here. That house used to be amazing! So huge and beautiful! But…”
Thinking of something, Yu Lei hesitated to speak.
"Just what?"
Lan Guoer glanced at her two uncles and frowned! Could it be that something unexpected happened in the Lan family villa?
The Third Master and the Fifth Master naturally knew what Yu Lei was “just” talking about. How magnificent the Lan Mansion used to be!
Not to mention that it covers an area of hundreds of acres, the floors and furniture inside were all specially shipped from Europe by the old man.
Although the Lan family handed over the villa before the movement began, the destructive power at the beginning of the movement cannot be underestimated!
More than ten years have passed, and the Lan Mansion is probably no longer what it used to be.
Yu Lei had also witnessed the glory of the Lan Mansion when she was young. She said with regret,
"It's just that it's been requisitioned, altered, and ruined beyond recognition by the Revolutionary Committee over the years. Even if you take it back, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in it for a while!"
Hearing that it was just for this reason, Lan Guoer breathed a sigh of relief!
The house has gone through so many years of ups and downs. Even if it had not been requisitioned, it would probably need to be renovated before it could be lived in.
To her, this was nothing! She could even tear it all down and rebuild it!
What's important is the land! That's hundreds of acres of land along the Huangpu River! Every inch of land is worth a lot of money!
It is also a well-known gathering place for luxury homes in later generations! In the previous life, the Wen family's villa happened to be in this area.
"That's nothing!" Lan Guoer said with a smile, "It needs to be repaired anyway, just a few minor repairs! We can't stay here for a few days, so there's no rush to move in."
"That's true!"
Seeing that she didn't care at all, Yu Lei looked at Lan Guoer with even higher regard!
Her niece's unshakable composure was much better than her two disappointing sons! The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
“That’s right!”
Thinking of something, Yu Lei suddenly said,
"There are two families who want to sell the old house you asked me to inquire about. It's on the street ahead. If you really want to buy it, I'll take you to see it after dinner.
Those two houses have always been taken care of. If you can buy them, you can move in anytime."
"That's great! Let's go after dinner!"
Hearing that there was a great bargain in the old house, Lan Guoer's appetite instantly improved! The food tasted even better.
"Try this dish and see if it suits your taste."
Seeing her drooling, Yu Lei called on everyone to pick up their chopsticks.
"This chicken soup was made last night, and this fish was bought and slaughtered at the market this morning. It's very fresh! Eat more after your long train ride."
Lan Guoer glanced at the table full of food, chuckled and shook her head. Yu Lei was really not stingy with her at all!
Fried shrimp, braised pork with preserved vegetables, steamed mandarin fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork skin soup...all of them are the Haishi local cuisine that Lan Guoer loved to eat in her previous life.
She couldn't help but think in her heart that after this meal, Uncle Su must have used up most of his meat coupons for half a month, right?
"Second Aunt, you made such a rich meal. How can the four of us finish it?"
"Eat as much as you can! Wait until your second uncle comes back from his business trip tonight and heat up the rest for him! How can we waste such good food?"
Yu Lei added a few more pieces of braised pork to each of their bowls.
Meat is a good thing in this day and age. It is good enough to be able to eat it. No one would mind if it was leftover from the previous meal.
"How is my cousin's wife doing lately? Can she get out of bed?"
Hearing that Yu Lei didn't mention leaving any food for Liu Jiajia, Lan Guoer asked.
She had just heard from Su Guoyu a few days ago that Liu Jiajia had nearly had a miscarriage and was hospitalized, saying she would have to stay in bed for a month! Su Gan had to go back to work, and it was Yu Lei who was taking care of her.
Counting the days, it’s been less than a week. Doesn’t that mean someone doesn’t need to take care of me?
"What can I do? I'll just lie in bed all day!"
When talking about Liu Jiajia, Yu Lei's tone became a little colder!
"I was the one who brought her food and drinks the past few days. And yesterday, Su Gan asked for leave, so I could have a couple of days off! Speaking of which, Liu Jiajia is really a troublesome person, and Su Gan deserves what he's going through!"
"So, is my second cousin's wedding really going to be postponed? You and my second uncle aren't anxious, and my second cousin isn't anxious either?"
Lan Guoer said this and glanced at Su Kun who was eating seriously.
"What's the point of him being anxious? But Xinjie isn't anxious at all!"
Yu Lei rolled her eyes at her second son as she spoke, an expression of anger at him for not fighting back.
"I've watched that kid grow up, and he's got his own ideas! After all this commotion, I'm afraid he's still trying to test our family!"
But, you can't blame them! What girl would want to have a troublesome sister-in-law like Liu Jiajia, don't you think? "
Su Kun felt a little uncomfortable with Yu Lei's stare. He quickly finished the rice in the bowl, stood up, picked up the clothes on the hanger and wanted to slip out.
Ever since the wedding was postponed, Yu Lei looked at him with disgust, as if he had committed some unforgivable crime!
