After Xue Yu brought the fragrant medicinal diet to the dining room, Tang Xiu’s index finger suddenly moved as he could clearly sense the spiritual qi contained within, showing that she added a lot of herbs to the diet.
“Did you buy them in the morning?” Asked Tang Xiu with a surprised expression after taking the bowl. He could feel his whole body turning warm.
“I lived in Shanghai for a while before, so I know a Chinese medicine store that opens early,” said Xue Yu. “I originally had some savings, but I used them to buy medicinal herbs, so I’m broke now.”
“The herbs were not cheap, were they?” Asked Tang Xiu.
Xue Yu nodded and said, “I did not have much money, so I only bought herbs worth 12 million yuan, but it should be enough to make a medicated diet for half a month. So that small pot of medicine is worth hundreds of thousand yuan.”
Crack…
In the corridor outside the dining room, Zhang Xinlan dropped the flower pot. She did not deliberately eavesdrop on the conversation between Tang Xiu and Xue Yu, but the content scared her so much that she nearly dropped her jaw.
Tang Xiu walked out of the dining room hurriedly. As he saw that Zhang Xinlan was busy and in a flurry with a scared expression, he then realized that she had heard Xue Yu’s words. He forced a smile inwardly and then comforted her quickly, “Aunt Zhang, are you okay? Just throw this broken pot, and do treat yourself quickly if you’re injured.”
Looking at Tang Xiu’s amiable expression, Zhang Xinlan’s intense feeling eased down a lot. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Tang. I’ll go out and buy exactly the same pot like this one. Don’t worry, I’ll pay it with my own money.”
“Just deduct it from the living expenses I gave you. There’s no need for you to use your money, Aunt Zhang,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I told you not to see me as a stranger if you want to keep working here later, didn’t I?”
Zhang Xinlan shot Tang Xu a grateful look and hurriedly grabbed the cleaning tools. Just as she was about to start cleaning it, she saw Xue Yu going to the kitchen to wash the dishes, as she then walked toward Tang Xiu quietly and said with a hesitating expression, “Mr. Tang, I know you are very rich, but still… you should use money sparingly whenever you can. This is not saving money, but wasting it!”
Tang Xiu could not help but burst into laughter. Seeing Zhang Xinlan stealing a glance at the kitchen, he could tell the reason why she said that. He immediately smiled and said, “Aunt Zhang, Xue Yu used to be very rich and she took out at least 100 million yuan once. She used to be a spendthrift and may not have changed her habit yet. But don’t worry, though, I’ll definitely educate her well later, and I assure you that I’ll train and turn her into a good wife and a kind mother.”
A type of lover that is also a clever wife and a wise mother.
Zhang Xinlan murmured inwardly, gratified inwardly as she nodded. She was just a housekeeper here and knew how far she could go and when to stop. Reminding Tang Xiu today was the limit she could do.
After that, Tang Xiu went out with Xue Yu to the shopping mall nearby to buy clothes and daily necessities. He then drove his car to liveliest place in Shanghai, the Binjiang Avenue, and entered the once best luxury villa residential area in China.
Tomson Villa.
The interior of the double-decker villa was extremely extravagant and fully equipped with all sorts of appliances, and the Property Management’s sanitation cleaned the villa regularly every week. After taking the key and opening the door, Tang Xiu found it spotless from dust, and everything was placed in an orderly and neat manner.
“The place is not bad. You can be said to be a man who invests the most in his lover.” Xue Yu toured the villa and found that the mansion was about 200 square meters. She was extraordinarily pleased, whether it was its floors or the view outside its windows.
“Leave out the sarcasm, will you?” Tang Xiu forced a smile. “I don’t have many properties in Shanghai. The other one is a bit far from the city, so I can only give this place for you to stay. You can choose to move out if you have a better place.”
“Why would I want to move out of the mansion my man gives me?” Xue Yu’s brows pricked. “You can treat me like a canary, or you can regard me as a good wife and kind mother later here.”
Tang Xiu did not want to be entangled in this issue with Xue Yu, so he waved his hand said, “Alright, you’ll live here later then! If anything, I gotta go to the campus so I won’t be staying with you. Just call me directly if there’s something.”
“Got it!” Xue Yu gently nodded.
