Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 376: Chapter 375: Looking at the House 2

A cluster of verdant bamboo grew by the main gate, rustling in the evening breeze.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a suit was standing by the tall, black gate.

When he saw Jiang Liu and the others get out of the car, the man’s eyes lit up, and he quickly trotted over. "Hello, Miss. Hello, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Liu immediately felt awkward. "I’m Jiang Liu. Just call me Mr. Jiang or Boss Jiang."

"Of course, Mr. Jiang. These are the keys to the villa, five in total, and they’re labeled. The villa also has many smart locks installed. Let’s add each other on WeChat, and I’ll send you the passcodes. If you have any questions later, you can ask me. I’m President Jun’s representative around here."

"Okay. Thanks for your help today."

"It’s no trouble. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave you and the Miss to it."

"Um... hold on a second." Jiang Liu opened the trunk and took out a gift he had bought for Jun Xinghe. "You’re heading back to the company now, right?"

"That’s right."

"This is a gift I bought for President Jun. Could you please give it to him for me?"

"No problem!"

The man carefully took the items, got into a nearby Mercedes business van, and drove off.

"Let’s go. We’re not far from home. How about we go get my parents and bring them here to see it?"

"Okay."

"Tongtong listens to Daddy!"

「Back at home.」

Lin Qiu looked up at the sound of them entering and was completely stunned. "Qingmeng?"

’Was this person before her—wearing high heels and chic, glamorous makeup—really her daughter-in-law?’

’She looked so stunningly elegant.’

"Mom, Dad." Jun Qingmeng felt a little embarrassed being stared at.

Lin Qiu came over and took Jun Qingmeng by the hand. "You’re dressed so beautifully! For a second, I almost didn’t recognize you!"

Jiang Dahai gave a thumbs-up. "Our daughter-in-law is gorgeous!"

Jun Qingmeng shyly buried her face in Lin Qiu’s embrace. "Mom, no matter how pretty I might look, I’m still your daughter-in-law. I always will be."

"Even if Jiang Liu didn’t want me anymore, I’d still be your daughter-in-law."

"Haha, you sweet-talker."

Lin Qiu was overjoyed.

Jiang Liu put the bags on the table.

"Dad, Qingmeng picked these clothes out for you and Mom. Try them on later and see what you think."

"Alright." Jiang Dahai happily opened the bag and took a peek.

He was even more pleased with Jun Qingmeng.

His previous daughter-in-law had never bought him a single piece of clothing.

"Dad, Mom, do you two have time? Should we go see the new house?"

Lin Qiu said excitedly, "Let’s go, let’s go see it."

Just a few days ago, she and Jiang Dahai had been pinching pennies to save up a down payment for their son.

Now, he didn’t need to buy one; he just had one. And it was a villa, no less.

The old couple were both thrilled.

The five of them went downstairs, and Jiang Liu drove them to the commercial street.

The drive was just over a kilometer, very close by.

The old couple gazed at the villa before them, gasping in amazement.

"This is a great house! It even has a yard. We could plant some vegetables to eat."

"Exactly. Homegrown is healthier."

Jiang Liu said with a smile, taking out a key and fumbling to open the gate.

He pushed open the tall, barred gates.

Stepping inside, their eyes were met with a small, man-made stream where red fish playfully swam.

Flowers and trees lined the walls, and a pomegranate tree stood next to the bridge crossing the stream.

And behind the house, there appeared to be a green recreational area.

The property had to be around six hundred square meters.

Jiang Liu glanced around, unable to hide his surprise. He turned to Jun Qingmeng, who was admiring the scenery. "This is what your dad calls a ’small, casual villa’?"

Jun Qingmeng smiled softly. "My dad was probably worried you wouldn’t accept it, so he deliberately downplayed it to make sure you would."

Lin Qiu touched this and that, her eyes wide with wonder. It was her first time in such an elegant villa, and she found it all fascinating.

"Son, how much do you think this place costs? I doubt I could afford it even if I worked my whole life."

Jiang Liu thought for a moment. "Probably in the tens of millions. The land here is very expensive. Even a seven or eight hundred square meter apartment in a residential complex would cost several million."

"Tsk, tsk. Your father-in-law really spoils you," Jiang Dahai said, his tone a little sour.

’This was his son, yet someone else was the one spoiling him.’

’It didn’t sit right with him.’

The two of them walked a lap around the yard, even pointing out the best spots for Jiang Liu to plant vegetables.

The two of them gradually began to relax, their initial cautiousness fading.

’After all, their son was a capable man. Even if he couldn’t afford a villa now, he’d be able to in the future.’

Jun Qingmeng gently straightened Jiang Liu’s collar. "So? Do you like this house? If you don’t, I can get you a different one."

"It’s great. I like it a lot," Jiang Liu said honestly.

"Daddy, can we live in this house from now on?" Jiang Tongtong asked, tugging on Jiang Liu’s hand expectantly.

"Of course you can. From now on, you’re one of the owners of this house too."

"Yay! I have a house! Daddy, I’m so happy!"

Tongtong excitedly tugged on Jiang Liu’s hand.

The five of them toured the yard.

Besides the small stream, the yard also had a small hot spring pool.

There was a set of vintage-style tables and chairs for tea, creating a very elegant atmosphere.

Jiang Liu then went to look around inside the house.

The interior wasn’t fully finished yet. There were no soft furnishings, but the wiring, flooring, and wall panels were already installed.

"Daddy, when Tongtong gets bigger, can I live in this room?"

Jiang Tongtong asked expectantly, pointing to a small room that opened into the yard.

Jiang Liu smiled and ruffled his daughter’s hair. "Of course. You can live in any room you want."

"Hehe, Daddy, you’re the best to Tongtong! Can you and Mommy live in the room next to Tongtong’s? Tongtong doesn’t want to be too far away from you."

"Deal. We’ll all stay close together!"

Jun Qingmeng watched the two of them with a smile, then turned to Lin Qiu. "Mom, aren’t you going to pick a room?"

"Huh? I can pick one too?"

Lin Qiu was very surprised.

’She assumed Jun Xinghe had bought it for his daughter and son-in-law.’

’Although she loved it here, she never thought about moving in herself.’

"You’re my mother-in-law, of course you can. I hope you and Dad can spend more time with the three of us. It’s so nice when the whole family is together and the house is full of life."

"Alright, then I’ll pick one too."

Lin Qiu didn’t refuse the kind offer. She pulled Jiang Dahai along to look, and they eventually chose a first-floor bedroom near the back lawn.

The bedroom even had its own attached bathroom and kitchenette.

’That way, she could disturb her son and daughter-in-law as little as possible.’

They spent half an hour looking through the house.

Tongtong hugged Jiang Liu’s leg, wheedling, "Daddy, your little cutie is hungry... I want food."

"Hungry? Should we head back then?"

"Mmm, okay."

Jiang Tongtong was a little sad to leave.

She really, really liked this house.

Little girls love pretty things, and Jiang Tongtong was no exception.

「Back in the car.」

Jun Xinghe sent Jiang Liu several mock-ups of different interior design styles.

There was minimalist, cozy, retro, Western, Huaxia, sakura, futuristic, and more.

Jiang Liu looked at the pictures and asked Jun Qingmeng, "Which style do you like?"

"Anything is fine. Whatever you like, I’ll like too!" Jun Qingmeng said sweetly, hugging Jiang Liu’s arm.

"What about you, Tongtong? And Dad, Mom, what do you two think?" Jiang Liu made sure to ask everyone who would be living there.

"Tongtong likes what Daddy likes! Hehe."
