Chapter 491: 487. Seeking a Good Omen (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

After returning home, Zhang Ran washed up a little and began watching the two little ones do their homework.

"Dad, there is something I want to tell you." Liu Lu had also finished buying groceries and returned.

"What is it?" Zhang Ran asked indifferently.

Liu Lu said, "It's just that Liu Kai's wedding date has changed to November 11th. It won't delay anything of yours, will it?"

Zhang Ran was stunned, then laughed, "Why the sudden change? Wasn't it the 23rd before?"

Liu Lu said somewhat embarrassedly, "This was a decision made by my mother and Liu Kai's mother-in-law; they said it was to get a good omen for your side."

Once put that way, Zhang Ran understood. Many people now knew about the Double Eleven battle, and especially after the hype from some self-media, it was basically being touted as the battle of the century.

Some ordinary citizens also had some understanding of it, and coupled with the fact that this was a move by the mysterious Zhang Ran System, many people were becoming increasingly expectant.

Of course, Liu Kai knew about this too, and especially since Liu Kai's mother-in-law, Pei Mingmei, had always wanted to deepen the connection between their family and the Zhang Family, she came up with this idea.

Moreover, the date of November 11th was quite good; it was suitable for weddings, building vehicles, traveling, meeting relatives and friends, moving, moving into a house, repairs, and breaking ground.

It barely counted as an auspicious day, so this date was set.

Liu Lu also looked at Zhang Ran somewhat nervously. She actually had her own selfish motives; Liu Kai had asked for her opinion on this matter, and she had only notified the other side after testing the waters a little.

Although she was somewhat confident, she didn't know if Zhang Ran would be unhappy because of it. If possible, Liu Lu naturally hoped her husband's family could take more care of her younger brother; after all, he was her own brother.

Furthermore, although Liu Kai was not particularly outstanding, he would not bully others by relying on power, which was quite good. At the very least, her father-in-law's impression of her brother was quite good.

Zhang Ran looked at the somewhat nervous Liu Lu and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. If it's like this, I should actually thank Liu Kai. Getting a good omen is also quite nice."

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Liu Lu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then will you go?"

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "If I don't have anything going on at that time, I'll go over."

He had been in a pretty good mood because of what Liu Kai did before, and plus, this was actually done to please him, so if he was free, going over would be quite nice.

As he spoke, Zhang Ran said to Liu Lu, "You should order a million-level car as a gift for the couple."

The reason Zhang Ran specified the price was not because he was stingy or afraid of Liu Lu spending too much money; on the contrary, he was afraid that Liu Lu would be reluctant to spend money.

Liu Lu took good care of her brother, but it was not unconditional care.

If Liu Kai had any difficulties in life or work, Liu Lu would speak to her husband's family, but in other aspects, especially regarding food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Liu Lu was reluctant, or rather, she was afraid that her husband's family would develop a resentment toward Liu Kai.

After all, even if there was a lot of money, it couldn't be thrown away casually, especially to someone who didn't know how to be grateful and only knew how to take.

If Liu Lu were to buy a car herself, at most she would buy one for around two hundred thousand, and that would be the limit.

Even though Zhang Ran had said so, Liu Lu was still a bit hesitant and said, "There's no need to buy one this expensive. Buying one for two or three hundred thousand is enough. There's no need to buy such a good one; they are just using it for the family."

Zhang Ran laughed, "It's fine, listen to me, just buy one at this level. Consider it a gift from your side to them.

After all, we can't let people say our family is too stingy, and what Liu Kai did before was good, so it's also a form of compensation."

"Alright, then I'll tell them," Liu Lu said.

"Hmm, Sicheng should be back by then, right?" Zhang Ran said.

"He should be back in these next few days." Liu Lu also missed Zhang Sicheng a bit; ever since they got married, they had never really been separated for this long.

Zhang Ran didn't chat any further on this topic and said, "What are we eating tonight?"

"Sweet and sour crucian carp, Huo Yi wants to eat it," Liu Lu said.

"Next time, make her pay some food money. All she knows is coming over to mooch food and drink every day," Zhang Ran said with annoyance, and she even knew how to order dishes now.

Just at this moment, Huo Zhiyuan walked in, "How much food money do you want?"

"Ahem, you heard wrong, I wasn't talking about you." Zhang Ran didn't expect to be overheard by Huo Zhiyuan and immediately coughed dryly.

Liu Lu held back her laughter and didn't speak, quickly slipping into the kitchen; she wouldn't disturb the two of them.

Huo Zhiyuan hummed and sat down.

"What have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you," Zhang Ran hurriedly changed the subject.

Huo Zhiyuan rubbed her brow and said, "What else could it be? Things in the company."

"Did you run into any trouble?" Zhang Ran asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a small matter, it will be resolved soon. By the way, I heard that you won 14 billion this time, is it true or false?" Ever since Zhang Ran returned, Huo Zhiyuan had been busy and hadn't had time to meet.

Zhang Ran laughed, "Of course it's true."

"I didn't expect you to know gambling techniques, Brother Zhang. I remember you didn't like gambling before, did you?" Huo Zhiyuan asked curiously.

Zhang Ran said, "I don't know gambling techniques. It really was just luck, and... hehe." He stopped there.

Because looking back now, no matter what, once Mu Jinyuan entered the gambling table, he was destined to lose.

From the scene at the time, there was one Gambling King on each side, and Wang Chen was also older, so it seemed that Mu Jinyuan's side had the advantage.

But in reality, among the four people, three were opponents, only Mu Jinyuan didn't know it.

Huo Zhiyuan didn't ask about these things in detail either; she didn't care about them. As long as Zhang Ran took advantage, she didn't care who suffered the loss.

The two chatted like this while watching the two little ones do their homework. At dinner time, Zhang Siyan and Qian Li also came, but this time Qian Li also brought Wen Jing along.

When Zhang Ran saw Wen Jing, there was not the slightest look of surprise on his face, as if he had guessed this situation long ago.

Wen Jing, on the other hand, appeared very reserved. After arriving at the Zhang Family, he felt like he didn't know where to stand.

"Uncle Zhang." Qian Li walked to Zhang Ran's side and whispered.

Zhang Ran smiled, "Still set on him?"

"Not set on him, just wanted you to help me take a look, Uncle Zhang," Qian Li said. In her heart, she still liked Wen Jing; many times, human emotions are truly complicated.

Clearly Wen Jing had deceived her, but when things hadn't reached an irreversible result, that kind of liking still emerged from the bottom of her heart involuntarily.

Originally, Qian Li was not prepared to pay any more attention to Wen Jing, but Zhang Siyan could see her feelings, so she had been persuading her.

In the end, Qian Li let go of the grudge in her heart and brought Wen Jing over.
