Chapter 47: 47. Gifting Orchids (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I've come to see you," Qian Li said as she entered the door.

"You just had to come, why bring gifts?" Liu Lu said hurriedly, as if this had already become the standard catchphrase for Huaxia people when welcoming relatives and friends.

"It's nothing much." Qian Li put down the gift in her hand and then looked at the two little ones playing.

"Susu, Taotao, did you miss Auntie Qian?" Qian Li called out to the two little ones.

Susu had actually looked over the very first moment Qian Li spoke, and when Qian Li asked, the little one ran straight over.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran felt a little jealous; he knew that even now, Susu had never been this affectionate toward him, her grandfather.

However, he also knew that this was clearly because Qian Li had always been very good to Susu, which was why she was like this.

"Auntie Qian, I missed you. Did you miss me?" Susu hugged Qian Li's thigh and whispered.

Qian Li squatted down and hugged Susu with a pained heart, saying, "Of course I did, Auntie Qian thinks of Susu every day."

Taotao, the little one, also ran over at this moment, and he and Susu each hugged one of Qian Li's thighs; he also tilted his little head and said, "Auntie Qian, I missed you too."

"Good, Taotao is so well-behaved, Auntie Qian missed you too."

After the three of them had a lively moment, things finally quieted down. "Big Brother, why does your house smell so fragrant? It smells really good."

Zhang Sicheng pointed to the three pots of flowers on the balcony and said, "It must be the scent of those three Fragrant Orchids."

"Fragrant Orchid? How come I've never heard that name? But the scent is really good; if it could be made into perfume, the market would probably be quite good," Qian Li said casually.

Zhang Ran laughed: "You like this scent? If you like it, take a pot back with you after you leave—no, two pots; one for where you live, and one for your parents to take back."

"Although this orchid isn't famous, the fragrance is quite nice, and it also has some effect on sleep."

Of course, Zhang Ran would not be stingy with Qian Li; what Qian Li had done for Zhang Siyan was enough for Zhang Ran to be grateful.

"Is that appropriate?" Qian Li really liked the scent and was tempted for a moment.

Zhang Sicheng also said at this moment: "You don't say, ever since our family bought these three orchids, our sleep quality has really improved a lot, and when feeling irritable, smelling these orchids can help calm the mind."

As he spoke, Zhang Sicheng himself seemed to understand something; in fact, he had been quite irritable during this period.

One reason was work-related matters, and the second was family matters.

But every time he returned home, he felt that irritability gradually dissipate; he hadn't felt much before, but thinking about it carefully now, it really seemed to be because of these Fragrant Orchids.

"How about you tell me where you bought them, Big Brother, and I'll go buy two pots," Qian Li thought for a moment and said.

Zhang Sicheng looked at Zhang Ran with some embarrassment; how would he know where they were bought?

Zhang Ran said: "It was just at the flower and bird market, but they aren't easy to find; you'd have to look for a long time if you went. Anyway, they aren't worth much, so just take them; I'll go buy more in a couple of days."

"You all have things to keep you busy, but I'm a big idler now and have plenty of time."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, and since Qian Li had indeed never heard the name Fragrant Orchid and it didn't seem to be a valuable orchid, she simply agreed.

When eating dinner, the family chatted casually; although the place was very small, the atmosphere was very warm.

As they chatted, Qian Li brought up the events of this afternoon, especially the matter of Sun Gaixin getting beaten up.

"Haha, Big Brother, look at this video, the one surnamed Sun got beaten up so miserably. Don't look at how big he is, he didn't have any room to fight back at all." As Qian Li spoke, she took out her phone, preparing to show it to Zhang Sicheng and the others.

"Ahem, Taotao, Susu, are you full?" Zhang Sicheng did not pick up on Qian Li's topic, but instead looked at Susu with some worry.

After all, Sun Gaixin was Susu's father, and he was afraid that saying these things would be bad for Susu.

Qian Li also realized it; she had been too happy just now and subconsciously forgot that Susu was still nearby—it was just her own careless nature.

However, what made them not know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel sad was that Susu seemed to have no reaction at all to Sun Gaixin being beaten, just as if he were a stranger.

"Dad, I'm full," Taotao said at this moment.

Although the two little ones hadn't eaten much in the afternoon, they had filled their stomachs a bit, so they didn't eat much for dinner.

"Then will you take little sister Susu into the room to play?" Zhang Sicheng said.

"Mm-hmm, little sister Susu, let's go play." Taotao took Susu's little hand and ran into the room.

"I'm sorry, I..." Seeing the two little ones enter the room, Qian Li said apologetically.

Zhang Siyan smiled and said: "It's okay, Susu actually knows everything she needs to know in her heart, don't worry."

At this time, Zhang Sicheng also said: "Susu doesn't have any feelings for that guy either, so you don't need to blame yourself. By the way, where is the video? Let me see it; if it weren't for Siyan, I would have wanted to beat him up long ago."

Everyone understood Qian Li's intentions and knew she didn't mean it, so neither Zhang Sicheng nor Zhang Siyan had any intention of blaming her.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu huddled together to watch the video; they both recognized Meng Mingxuan, so they were stunned at the first glance, and when they saw Zhang Ran also standing on the side, they seemed to understand.

"Did you make Meng Mingxuan do it?" Zhang Sicheng asked hesitantly.

"They had a conflict themselves; it has nothing to do with me," Zhang Ran said.

Although he said that, everyone understood that it was definitely instigated by Zhang Ran.

After watching the video, Liu Lu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; in fact, she hadn't known how to talk to Zhang Siyan about the house all day.

Liu Lu didn't know what Zhang Ran's thoughts were, and she didn't know whether she should tell Zhang Siyan that Zhang Ran had helped them buy the house.

Liu Lu was actually afraid that this matter would make Zhang Siyan have some opinions about Zhang Ran, or even about Zhang Sicheng.

Such things were very common, and Liu Lu couldn't help but overthink it.

Now seeing this video, Liu Lu knew that Zhang Ran shouldn't be the type of person to favor boys over girls, and perhaps Zhang Ran would handle the aftermath of this matter well.

If it really didn't work out and Zhang Siyan had any objections, Liu Lu had also decided to add Zhang Siyan's name to the property deed at that time.

"By the way, Siyan, what exactly do you plan to do about your situation with Sun Gaixin?" Since the topic had already reached this point, Zhang Sicheng simply asked it; this was a topic their whole family was concerned about.

Especially Zhang Ran, it was just that it wasn't easy for Zhang Ran to ask.
