Chapter 193: 189. Was I Played by Huo Zhiyuan? (Please subscribe, please vote for monthly tickets!)

Huo Zhiyuan's eyes held a smile. "Actually, I've never been very comfortable living in the villa. The villa is too big, there are too few people, and it lacks any sense of life. It's uncomfortable to live in. It just so happens that you've returned, Brother Zhang, so I've come over to soak up some of that life."

"That's fine, a big house for one person is indeed a bit empty. Do you need my help?" Zhang Ran looked at Huo Zhiyuan's belongings and asked.

Huo Zhiyuan said, "No need, it will be finished very soon. I don't have that many things."

Zhang Ran looked at the two large trucks and was speechless. This was "not that many things"?

"Mr. Zhang." Zhao Jingyu had finished most of the work on her end.

Zhang Ran looked at Zhao Jingyu and said to Huo Zhiyuan with a smile, "Your assistant is quite good, running around busy. It was also her who had Siyan notify me a while ago; otherwise, I wouldn't have known. Shouldn't you reward her properly?"

Zhao Jingyu hurriedly indicated it wasn't necessary, but Huo Zhiyuan immediately said, "Of course I must reward her. Jingyu, I won't be living in that villa for the time being, so you move in and live there. It just so happens you can help tidy up the house."

Zhao Jingyu was stunned. She was living in a villa just like that?

Zhang Ran then invited the two to be guests at their home, but they didn't go inside the rooms, instead drinking tea and chatting in the courtyard.

"So fragrant!" Huo Zhiyuan narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her face was full of relaxation.

Zhang Ran laughed, "If you like it, dig up two plants and take them back to plant in your own courtyard."

This time, Zhang Ran was on guard and gave a rough number directly; he had truly been frightened by that shameless fellow, Prince Haiman.

Zhang Ran hadn't paid much attention when Prince Haiman left at the time, but after looking carefully, he discovered that the flowers and plants in his own courtyard had almost been plucked clean by this guy, making Zhang Ran so angry he called him right then to scold him.

However, Prince Haiman had guessed Zhang Ran's thoughts at that time, so he had simply turned off his phone.

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Huo Zhiyuan immediately shook her head and said, "No need. Anyway, I'm living right next door; I can just come over and admire them when I'm free."

Zhao Jingyu was drinking tea silently on the side, thinking to herself: I'm afraid that is the very reason why you don't want them.

Zhang Ran didn't mind and said, "You can't cook over there at noon, so why not eat at my place? Try my daughter-in-law's cooking."

Huo Zhiyuan immediately said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang!"

Zhao Jingyu still didn't speak, but inside she was roaring: Restraint! Have some restraint, Big Sister!

"Assistant Zhao, stay and eat together as well," Zhang Ran invited again.

Zhao Jingyu still didn't speak, because Huo Zhiyuan had already spoken for her in advance, "She doesn't need to. There is still a pile of things at the company that need her to do. For young people, it's better to prioritize work."

Zhao Jingyu nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. There are indeed some things at the company."

What else could she do? Her own boss had already spoken.

However, Huo Zhiyuan didn't stay here to chat with Zhang Ran for long, and soon left together with Zhao Jingyu.

According to her, they were going to prepare gifts for Sicheng and the others to meet them. Zhang Ran thought about it and didn't stop her.

But when it was almost noon, Zhang Ran saw Huo Zhiyuan pull up a whole truckload of things and was somewhat speechless.

"Was that necessary?" Zhang Ran said, speechless.

Huo Zhiyuan said with a giggle, "For the first meeting, there must be some gifts that are presentable."

Zhang Ran shook his head helplessly and said, "Fine, suit yourself. As long as you're happy."

When Sicheng and Liu Lu returned at noon, they saw piles of things placed in the living room, which left them stunned.

"Dad, what is this?" Liu Lu asked curiously.

Zhang Ran stood up and introduced, "This is the boss of Kangshilan, Huo Zhiyuan. You can just call her Huo Yi. These are all gifts she brought for you to meet her."

Liu Lu and Sicheng hurriedly said, "Thank you, Huo Yi."

A smile appeared on Huo Zhiyuan's face, "No need to thank me. From now on, I will be living next door to your house, and I'll likely have to trouble you in the future."

Sicheng and Liu Lu always felt that this Big Boss Huo was a bit nervous when facing them?

But they felt this was their own illusion; it should be the two of them who were nervous, how could Huo Zhiyuan be nervous?

Liu Lu looked at the pile of gifts and felt somewhat helpless. Many of them were luxury goods and expensive clothes and bags; these were the things Huo Zhiyuan lacked the least.

But the problem was that Liu Lu didn't lack these things now either!

Although Liu Lu still couldn't bear to spend money to buy such expensive clothes and bags, she had an Uncle Haiman.

Ever since Prince Haiman left, he had been sending over piles of things every few days, basically all for her and Siyan, and of course, for the two little ones, Susu and Taotao.

And could the things sent by Prince Haiman be bad?

For a person as concerned with face as Prince Haiman, how could the gifts he gave to his niece-in-law and niece be anything but excellent!

Not to mention those designer brands, many were even made personally by master tailors in England. Of course, because they weren't custom-made, they might not be that precious, but they were still items of high value.

In the past, Liu Lu felt her wardrobe was a bit too big; how could she and Sicheng possibly fill it with their clothes?

But only a few months had passed, and Liu Lu discovered that her wardrobe was already struggling to hold just her own clothes.

Now, when Liu Lu got up in the morning, she finally had the trouble of deciding which clothes to wear; this was a trouble she had never experienced before.

Liu Lu couldn't wear so many clothes by herself, and there were some that were unsuitable, such as clothes that were too flashy or too revealing for her, so she gave them all to her cousin, Liu Hui.

This allowed that girl Liu Hui to experience the thrill of being a rich woman!

Now, Liu Hui followed Liu Lu's every word. If it weren't for the inconvenience of work and the fact that coming over too often wasn't good, Liu Hui would have loved to run to Liu Lu's house every single day.

Next, Liu Lu went to prepare lunch, and Huo Zhiyuan volunteered to go help. Liu Lu declined twice to no avail, so she stopped worrying about it.

But subsequently, whether it was intentional on Huo Zhiyuan's part or not, she not only didn't help Liu Lu with anything, but instead added quite a bit of trouble for her.

When eating at noon, Liu Lu couldn't help but say, "Huo Yi, did you bring a nanny to your house?"

Huo Zhiyuan said, "No, I left the nanny at the villa."

"Then how do you usually eat?"

"I just order takeout, or just eat whatever. Anyway, I can get by," Huo Zhiyuan said, appearing indifferent, yet there was actually a pitiful look on her face.

After hearing her words, Liu Lu blurted out, "Then why don't you just eat at our house from now on? It's just adding a pair of chopsticks anyway."

"Is that really okay?" Huo Zhiyuan said, pleasantly surprised.

How did Liu Lu feel at this moment that she had been played by Huo Zhiyuan? Otherwise, why didn't Huo Zhiyuan hesitate at all? According to common sense, shouldn't she have declined a couple of times?
