"Then why did you still hand over Galaxy Capital to him to manage? Aren't you just looking for trouble for yourself?" Prince Haiman said, speechless.
Zhang Ran sighed and said, "How could I have expected to encounter such a shitty situation with the Goddess of Destiny? Besides, I have already placed some restrictions and left a backup plan, it's just that he hasn't given up yet."
"Fine, you're always right no matter what you say, I can't be bothered to talk to you anymore," Prince Haiman said.
"By the way, what was going on a while ago?" Prince Haiman was asking about some people Zhang Ran had him arrange previously.
This was not an ordinary arrangement, but rather hiding some of their information.
Zhang Ran said, "An old friend from before helped out; I will need to use them next."
"Do you need my help?" Prince Haiman said.
"No need, I've never stood on ceremony with you when I needed you," Zhang Ran laughed.
Prince Haiman nodded as if it were a serious matter, "Indeed, you've never stood on ceremony with me. Look, I've come over, and you haven't even prepared a cup of tea for me. This fruit was even prepared by my wife; you really are something."
As he spoke, he shook the fruit in his hand, seemingly expressing his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "Complaining that my hospitality isn't good enough? Fine, then I'll cook you a sumptuous lunch myself today and let you see my culinary skills. Let me tell you, when it comes to cooking, if you can't do it, you just can't."
Prince Haiman immediately felt unconvinced, "Heh, keep bragging. I'll cook with you today and see whose food everyone likes better."
While the two were bickering, Siyan, Lin Mei, and the four little ones all turned a bit pale.
They had all experienced the last time the two competed in cooking; it was simply their nightmare.
"Grandpa, I... I don't feel hungry anymore, I don't want to eat lunch," Taotao said weakly.
Although Susu also really didn't want to eat, her little feet slowly stood behind her maternal grandfather, but what was with that look of resignation to death on her little face?
Prince Haiman immediately mocked, "Look at that, even Taotao doesn't want to eat the food you make. Do you really have no clue at all in your heart?"
Just as he finished speaking, Arthur immediately said, "Daddy, I'm not hungry either. Um, yes, that's right, I ate so, so much on the plane, I'm not hungry."
Prince Haiman's expression suddenly turned sour, and he began to threaten Arthur with his eyes: You little guy, how dare you not give me face like this?
Lin Mei said crossly at this moment, "Alright, you two stop messing around. You two cooking is just a waste of food."
With Lin Mei having the final say, although both were very unconvinced, they didn't say anything more.
Only Bert was a bit confused, but he wouldn't be interested in these matters anyway.
After Liu Lu returned home, she received a grand welcome.
Ever since she returned home, relatives began to come in an endless stream, and even Pei Mingmei came back with Liu Kai and his wife.
Sicheng wanted to avoid them, but it was obvious that everyone was actually here for him, so he couldn't hide.
Fortunately, by the time it was almost dark, everyone finally dispersed, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being too popular isn't good either, especially since these were all relatives, and he couldn't put on a cold face.
"Sicheng, you've worked hard. I'll talk to them next time," Xiao Chunhua said while serving Sicheng a cup of tea.
Their family didn't lack these things to entertain guests now, and they were all good things.
Liu Lu would send some over whenever she had extra; at first, after knowing the price, they couldn't bear to eat them.
But as Liu Lu sent more and more, and after knowing their in-laws were the richest people, they slowly began to learn to enjoy them.
Otherwise, if they gave these things to others to eat, they would feel even more heartache; it was better to eat them themselves.
"Mom, it's fine, they're all relatives," Sicheng said.
"Sicheng, you're the sensible one. Sigh, our relatives here are all people who haven't seen the big world; I hope you don't mind," Liu Mao said.
"Dad, I haven't seen much of the big world either. If it weren't for my dad coming back, I would just be a corporate slave," Sicheng said with a smile.
"By the way, Sicheng, why didn't Taotao come back?" Xiao Chunhua only just noticed that only the two of them came this time; it was really because it was too busy just now, and there were too many people.
Without needing Sicheng to speak, Liu Lu said, "Taotao has to attend tutoring classes, there's no time."
It was better for her, as the daughter, to say such things.
"Taotao still has to attend tutoring classes?" Xiao Chunhua was stunned.
She didn't realize Liu Lu was lying. In her mind, how could Taotao, as the eldest grandson of the richest person, attend tutoring classes just like children from ordinary families?
"Big sister, you don't understand this. Nowadays, the richer the family, the more things the children have to learn. Just looking at some people I know, don't look at how rich they are, they are not sloppy at all when it comes to their children's education.
Just hiring private tutors costs over a hundred thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, every month," Pei Mingmei immediately said.
Liu Mao took a puff of his cigarette and didn't speak. He saw that his daughter was lying; it was likely that Taotao didn't want to come himself.
He sighed in his heart, but what could he say?
He could only lament that their family truly didn't have that kind of fortune!
However, Liu Mao should be satisfied. He never dreamed that his daughter could join a wealthy family, and the richest family at that.
The most crucial thing was that Liu Lu was acknowledged by the Zhang Family!
For him, Liu Mao, this life was enough. Now, his daily life was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
"Xiao Lu, don't make Taotao too tired, the child is still young," Xiao Chunhua said.
"Go do your cooking, everyone is waiting to eat now," Liu Mao said.
Xiao Chunhua slapped her forehead and said, "Almost forgot, I'll go cook right now."
Pei Mingmei didn't help this time, but instead leaned in to chat with Liu Lu. She was already a deputy branch manager now, and she had also heard that, presumably, if she waited another two years, she could be promoted again.
Of course, there was a prerequisite for this, and that was that the relationship between their family and the Zhang Family remained unbroken.
Liu Kai was chatting quite well with Sicheng. The two had always gotten along well, and Liu Kai was a relatively laid-back person. Although the Zhang Family had become successful and his brother-in-law was no longer the poor guy he used to be, he didn't have much psychological pressure.
When their family was having dinner, Sicheng received a call from Zhang Ran, "After you finish visiting your in-laws here, go directly to Hong Kong."
"Dad, what's wrong?" Sicheng asked.
"I'll tell you when the time comes, but there's no need to rush," Zhang Ran said.
"Alright, I understand," Sicheng didn't ask any more questions and nodded in agreement.
