Just as Chen Hua understood Ying Qiao and often danced on his crosshairs, Ying Qiao naturally knew this partner well and was well aware of the principle of carrot and stick.
But Ying Long’s cold, arrogant and irritable personality was deeply rooted in people’s hearts and Chen Hua naturally occupied people’s hearts, so everyone naturally thought that he was the one who was being exploited! And Ying Qiao, who was often unreasonably asked to raise his salary, was like Zhou Bapi and was an evil capitalist!
But in fact, they were clearly mutually beneficial!
If Ying Qiao gave him a day off one day, he would probably not be happy, unless it was paid.
While driving, Ying Qiao told Jiang Lan about Chen Hua’s negative information, and added, “You should stay out of his company” to avoid being led astray.
Jiang Lan smacked his lips, thinking about his fourth brother’s lifelong event: “If the fourth brother offers double the salary, can he poach him? If they are close to each other every day, wouldn’t it be natural for them to develop into the beautiful moonlight together?”
Although I feel a little sorry for my boyfriend, there are so many bachelors in Dragon Palace and I need to be more anxious.
“…”
Ying Qiao looked at him from the side and seeing that he was seriously considering the possibility of poaching, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch: “It’s impossible to poach him. Your fourth brother wanted to poach him before, but he didn’t know that Chen Hua had shares in the company.”
Although Chen Hua was usually quiet and had no extravagant hobbies, he was actually very rich behind the scenes.
All the money Ying Qiao earned was exchanged for sparkling gems, so that he could roll happily on the pile of gems.
But the money Chen Hua made was just cold numbers in his bank account, and no one knew what he was after.
Jiang Lan sighed with regret: “Is that so.”
It seemed like the only way to get the money was to get it from somewhere else!
As they were talking, they almost arrived at Ying Qiao’s house. Jiang Lan had been so busy worrying about his fourth brother that he hadn’t looked at the road carefully. Only now did he realize that this didn’t seem to be the way to Ying Qiao’s house.
“Isn’t this not the way to your house?”
“It’s the way to my house.” Ying Qiao tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, emphasizing the word “my house” and said, “The previous one was bought temporarily.”
Jiang Lan: …
He understood.
It turned out that the house was bought specifically to deal with him!
He looked at the car he was sitting in again – a very ordinary and popular black Honda, which had nothing to do with the rumors about Ying Qiao.
Jiang Lan thought of the luxury car that Chen Hua had driven before, and reasonably suspected that this car was also bought by Ying Qiao specifically to fool him.
In comparison, although he also hid it from Ying Qiao, he didn’t take it seriously at all!
Jiang Lan slowly puffed up his cheeks.
After seeing Ying Qiao drive the car into a garden villa and then into the garage, Jiang Lan’s eyes widened.
——There were five cars parked in the garage. Even someone like him who didn’t care about luxury cars could recognize them. In addition to the Aston Martin and Ferrari he had seen before, there were also a Bentley, Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini.
Each car had a different color, just like collecting stamps.
The black Honda that had just been parked in the only empty parking space seemed out of place in the luxury car club.
So Jiang Lan got out of the car and said angrily, “You really took the trouble to deceive me.”
Ying Qiao: ?
How come the atmosphere changed so suddenly?
He looked at the cars in the garage, coughed lightly, and explained unconvincingly: “I’m not trying to deceive you, I just wanted to try out the feeling of a normal car.”
There was no way Jiang Lan would believe him.
So he snorted and took Jiu Ding out of the garage.
The villa was well maintained, the flowers and plants were all carefully trimmed, and there were golden or bright red roses blooming on the iron fence in the yard.
Jiang Lan thought about his small two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment and the large flat that had not yet been renovated, and he became even more angry!
But they waited for Ying Qiao to come up before they went in together.
The interior decoration of the villa could be described as magnificent. Jiu Ding, who had never seen the world, immediately exclaimed in amazement: “Wow, will I live here in the future?”
Ying Qiao hummed: “Pick a room yourself and ask Chen Hua to take you to buy anything you need.”
“Uh-huh.”
Jiu Ding immediately forgot the hatred of him having kept him locked up for hundreds of years, and went to look around the room happily – this kid was not shy at all, and after confirming that Ying Qiao and Jiang Lan could be trusted, he completely treated them as his own people.
Jiang Lan and Ying Qiao were left staring at each other.
Previously, things happened one after another and Jiang Lan had neither the time nor the energy to care about them. Now that he had arrived at Ying Qiao’s house and suffered a wave of shock, he remembered that he had some accounts to settle.
Jiang Lan looked around and saw luxury everywhere, which obviously cost a lot of money.
He groaned and said, “Was it unfair for you to live in my house before?”
Although he was not short of money now, as a relatively rough beast, his needs other than food were very simple.
He thought Ying Qiao was similar to him.
But now look at it, how can they be similar? There is a huge difference!
“I just like small houses.” Fortunately, Ying Qiao was familiar with the guide and noticed Jiang Lan’s little mood at the first time. So he immediately put on a disgusted expression: “The villa is too big, empty and unpopular. It’s also far to drive. It’s not like our home, which is warm and lively, and convenient for commuting.”
Just now it was your home, your home, but now it has immediately become our home.
Jiang Lan was slightly pleased by his coaxing. After a pause, he said with a hum, “Actually, the villa is not bad. My eldest brother bought me a large flat near the workplace, 400 square meters. We were planning to move in after the decoration was completed…”
However, the result after confessing far exceeded his expectations!
He had a vest, and Ying Qiao also had a vest.
He was not a little lion demon who only earned eighty dollars a day, and Ying Qiao was certainly not an orphan snake who earned three thousand dollars a month.
This was totally different from what he imagined!
Ying Qiao took his hand, led him to sit on the sofa, and said softly: “Then we will move in after the decoration is completed. You can live there during the week and come here to relax on weekends or holidays. If you don’t like it, we can buy a new house. It all depends on your wishes.”
He looked straight at Jiang Lan, his eyes sincere and honest.
Jiang Lan looked at him for a while, and the little resentment in his heart was defeated. He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth: “Then let’s put it this way.”
“Well, I’ll listen to you anyway.”
Ying Qiao stood up and said, “I’ll get you something to drink. We don’t have any juice or milk at home, only tea and coffee. Which one would you like?”
“Black tea, add more sugar.” Jiang Lan said.
“Then I’ll go make you some tea. Chen Hua will probably be here in a while, and the chef will probably come with him too. You can just walk around for now.”
After saying that, he rubbed his head and went to the kitchen to make tea.
Since he said so, Jiang Lan didn’t hesitate and started strolling around the first floor.
The front half of the first floor was the living room, and the back half had three rooms and a bathroom. The decoration was uniform and luxurious. However, even the decorations in the rooms were exactly the same, just like the model houses sold by the developer. There was also a garden full of flowers and plants behind the first floor, which were also carefully trimmed and maintained.
Jiang Lan looked around and found that Ying Qiao might not just have been trying to please him. Such a big house would be too empty for one person to live in.
He didn’t know what kind of life Ying Qiao lived before.
Ying Qiao came over with the brewed black tea and saw Jiang Lan looking at him with sympathy.
“???”
He looked at Jiang Lan calmly: “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Lan asked him: “You lived alone before?”
Ying Qiao raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out his thoughts, and said, “Well, I don’t have any other relatives, and the servants don’t usually live here. They only come here to cook and clean at designated times.”
In fact, he just simply didn’t like outsiders intruding into his territory.
Except for a few familiar friends and servants who came to work on time, anyone else who dared to come in rashly might be beaten on the head by him.
Therefore, the situation that Jiang Lan imagined, that one where he was so pitiful and lonely living alone, did not exist at all.
But since Jiang Lan had misunderstood, Ying Qiao was naturally happy to continue speaking along with his words. How could he let go of such a good opportunity to ease the conflict?
After the two of them had drunk a cup of black tea, Chen Hua finally arrived with the chef.
The chef was a black bear with a broad back and a fierce look on his face. But when he saw his employer, he immediately smiled in a simple and honest way. And he was obviously quite experienced. After seeing the piece of dragon tail in the refrigerator, he didn’t even blink or ask any more questions. After asking Jiang Lan about his taste, he carried the dragon tail to the kitchen to cook.
Ying Qiao handed Jiu Ding over to Chen Hua and asked him to take the people away. When he came back, he saw Jiang Lan looking towards the kitchen with eager eyes.
He looks greedy, but he’s actually quite cute.
Ying Qiao stepped forward, took his hand, and led him to the second floor: “Dinner should be a while away, I’ll take you upstairs first.”
He was going to take Jiang Lan to see his collection. Before he confessed his identity to Jiang Lan, he wanted to take Jiang Lan to see his collection.
He was still thinking about asking his boyfriend to arrange the gems for him to look nice!
It would be best if he could change the gems and the scenery every now and then like Jiao Tu’s aquarium. It didn’t matter if he filled the house with gems, since he had a lot of gems anyway!
After going up to the second floor, Ying Qiao suppressed his anxious mood and took him around the bedroom and study before going straight to the collection room.
He pushed open the door with a slight sense of expectation, but said to Jiang Lan nonchalantly, “This is the collection room, used to store some gems and other jewels that I casually collect.”
As they were talking, the door was pushed open and the lights came on, revealing a glittering hill of gems in the room.
Jiang Lan was dazzled by the gems in the room.
What a huge pile of gems! Colorful!
He swallowed very visibly.
