Chapter 172's shock effect was no less than my official announcement with Leonardo DiCaprio!
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, it's okay. I bought this."
Jiang Chengcheng almost burst out laughing when she saw her parents' shocking remarks. Their imaginations were too rich! Robbing a bank?
"This...this...my goodness..." Jiang Hai and Cheng Juan were at a loss when they heard that such a big place was actually their daughter's house. They didn't even know what to say, and Jiang Chengcheng pulled them forward.
Looking at the pavilions, towers, and carved beams and painted rafters that they had only ever seen on television, Jiang Hai and Cheng Juan felt as if they were in a dream. Although they knew that their daughter was rich, they never expected that she was rich to this extent!
The couple looked at each other in silence for a moment. It's true what they say about parents being overly concerned; when their daughter is poor, they worry she'll be bullied and feel indebted to her; when she has money, they fear she might be alone out in the world one day and be targeted or suffer misfortune…
"Daughter, you're so rich, you have to be careful when you go out in the future. Don't let just anyone get close to you. If you really can't, hire a few bodyguards to protect you! Also, be careful when you look for a partner. There are a lot of cases of people murdering for money on the news these days!" Jiang Hai held Jiang Chengcheng's hand and gave her a lot of advice.
"Oh dear! Why are you saying that! It's bad luck! Bah! Our daughter is so lucky! Don't say such unlucky things! We should be happy that our daughter is capable!" Cheng Juan was displeased when she heard Jiang Hai's words. Although he was right, it was not good to say it out loud. Today was the day the family was moving. She could talk to her daughter about it privately when she had time.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Look at my mouth!" Jiang Hai thought this made sense. Today was a joyous occasion, and he shouldn't mention such things.
"It's okay, Mom and Dad. The master bedroom is inside. I'll go with you to choose a bigger one, and we'll live there from now on." Jiang Chengcheng smiled and didn't seem to care too much, after all, her parents were just worried about her.
"Good, my daughter has made something of herself. Now your mother can finally enjoy some happiness and see what kind of places ancient princes and princesses lived in." Cheng Juan couldn't help but feel excited upon hearing this.
After the group reached the innermost part of the building, Cheng Juan initially assumed that the ancient architecture would be filled with hard chairs and beds. However, once inside, she realized she was completely wrong!
The interior wasn't entirely antique; it was a combination of traditional Chinese architecture and modern technology. Although there was air conditioning, Cheng Juan couldn't find the vents after searching for a long time. Even the softness of the bed was far superior to that of an ancient canopy bed, despite their similar appearance.
"Girl, the house you built is amazing! It looks like an ancient building, but it looks so high-tech!" Cheng Juan finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
"Mom, I had this remodeled later. We're living here ourselves, so it should be as comfortable as possible," Jiang Chengcheng explained.
"Oh, I see! Where do you two stay in your room, daughter?" Cheng Juan secretly wanted to stay closer to her daughter, since the place looked so big, and if they were too far apart, it would be inconvenient to cook and serve meals.
Of course, if Jiang Chengcheng knew what Cheng Juan was thinking at this moment, she would only think that she was overthinking it. After all, given their family's situation, Cheng Juan probably wouldn't need to cook for them in the future.
“My sister and I are next door. I’m in the first room on the left, and my sister is in the second room on the left,” Jiang Chengcheng said, knowing that her mother wanted to be closer to her and her sister.
"That's fine then, your dad and I can stay here." Cheng Juan was even more satisfied with the room after hearing this.
After choosing their rooms, Jiang Chengcheng asked Uncle Zhong to bring up dinner. The group was tired after spending the whole day on the highway, and they would rest after dinner.
"My goodness, honey, this dish is so professionally made! It tastes even better than what you get in restaurants!"
"Yes, Chengcheng, where did you find this chef?"
Jiang Hai and Cheng Juan looked at the table full of delicious-looking dishes and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Mom and Dad, eat more if you like it. If you want anything to eat in the future, just tell Uncle Zhong and he'll have someone make it." Seeing her parents enjoying their meal, Jiang Chengcheng also found that the dishes, which usually looked ordinary, tasted especially delicious today.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhong stepped forward, bowed slightly, nodded to the two of them, and spoke.
"Sir and Madam, if you need anything in the future, just tell me directly."
"Okay, thank you for your help in the future." Knowing her daughter's current situation, Cheng Juan didn't stand on ceremony and directly expressed her gratitude.
Shortly after dinner, the group returned to their rooms. Jiang Chengcheng had just finished tidying up when she received a call from Sirius, which was unexpectedly a video call.
Shortly after the video call started, Sirius appeared on the phone screen. He was sitting in a black office chair, meticulously working on the documents in his hands. Only after the video call was connected did a faint smile appear on his lips.
"Chengcheng, I'll arrive at Beijing Airport around 10 a.m. tomorrow. Don't forget to pick me up then."
"Really?! That's great! Don't worry, I'll definitely come to pick you up!" Jiang Chengcheng was overjoyed to hear that Sirius would arrive in Beijing tomorrow. She thought about how they had been separated for half a year and their meetings had been almost as infrequent as those of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Now they could finally meet again!
"Hmm, what have you been up to lately?" Sirius was also looking forward to seeing his little girl soon, and his voice was even softer than usual. If his subordinates saw him at this moment, they would probably be so frightened that they would think he had been possessed!
"Nothing special, it's just that my family and I moved to Beijing today, which I told you about before," Jiang Chengcheng replied after thinking for a moment.
"Really? Then, when I get to Beijing, will it be convenient for me to visit your home?" Upon hearing that Jiang Chengcheng's home was now also in Beijing, Sirius couldn't help but feel a unique sense of anticipation.
"Huh? How about we wait another two years? My parents are both at home. If they see you, they'll probably have a heart attack. We need to give them some time to adjust," Jiang Chengcheng said hesitantly.
To be honest, the speaker may not have meant anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. When Sirius heard Jiang Chengcheng say that, he thought she was complaining about his age and was afraid that his family would have objections.
"Chengcheng regrets it, does she think I'm too old?" Sirius's deep, dangerous voice came from the video, startling Jiang Chengcheng, who quickly explained.
"No! No! Absolutely not! I didn't mean that! It's just that you're too famous! If my parents found out that we were dating, the shock would be no less than if I announced my relationship with international superstar Leonardo DiCaprio!"
Jiang Chengcheng used a rather inappropriate analogy, which left Sirius on the other end of the video call speechless, wondering what kind of analogy that was!
