Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Meeting at The Yu Family
Lian Qing looked at her father’s reaction and smiled lightly while holding her forehead.
"Dad, I have to go out and see for myself, and you wouldn’t let me go alone, would you?"
"Don’t you think you can take good care of me?"
Normally as aloof as an iceberg, she nevertheless revealed a cute demeanor when facing her own dad, which was simply irresistible.
Not to mention to Huo Laoer, the doting father that was Master Huo.
"My son speaks the truth, speaks the truth, dad will certainly keep you safe." Second Young Master sat down again in his chair and asked Lian Qing, "Son, where do you want to go?"
Lian Qing put away her cute expression, held up a finger to Master Huo, and said, "The first district, I want to buy some land, the Chi Family’s land."
"Dad, the seeds from Little River Live can be sold indefinitely. I think this is a market with infinite possibilities. The Chi Family’s vast land will surely be auctioned, and I want to buy some."
Huo Laoer nodded repeatedly; although he dealt with the Black Market, money was never an issue at home. But if his child wanted to start a business, he would undoubtedly support it.
"Great! Let’s head to the first district!"
Having made his decision, Huo Laoer immediately started arranging the trip, and in the end, decided the whole family should go together for a trip as well.
As for meeting the big shot, they would see if fate allowed for it.
The Huo family set off on the same day, accompanied by their butler and a contingent of bodyguards.
After several hours, the starship carrying Nian Shutong finally reached the last station in the Third District. To travel further inside, they would have to switch to smaller transportation vehicles.
The starship’s steward knocked on the door of their compartment precisely on time, Xia Tian, engrossed in his game, went to open it. As for Ha Ha and Dou Dou, they were already asleep.
"Hello, our starship has arrived at the final station."
"Okay, thank you, we’ll get off now."
"Alright, there’s no rush, take your time to pack up."
The steward stepped aside as Xia Tian shut the door first, then knocked on the door of Nian Shutong’s bedroom.
"Knock, knock—"
Two gentle knocks sounded, followed by Nian Shutong’s voice from inside.
"Understood, coming soon."
"Hey, hey, Sister Nian, no rush."
Xia Tian stepped back quietly, careful not to make any noise, then turned to wake up Ha Ha and Dou Dou.
After Ha Ha and Dou Dou were awake, Nian Shutong finally came out.
The three people and one pig on the outside were all packed up.
"Are we all set?"
"All set!"
Three voices, in unison, stood neat and orderly, hands by their seams.
Nian Shutong looked at the disciplined trio, wondering if she had been difficult to get along with these past few days.
"Let’s go."
She didn’t say much else, preferring to talk more after leaving.
Nian Shutong led the way, with Xia Tian following behind, holding Dou Dou’s hand, while Ha Ha carried Little Fen.
They were among the last to disembark from the starship, with the steward patiently waiting beside them, displaying warm hospitality as she saw them out.
As Nian Shutong walked past her, she spoke, "Sorry to bother you, could you please lend a hand?"
The steward, smiling and not understanding why, still extended her palm.
"Thank you for your service."
A small package of lollipops was placed in the steward’s hand, roughly ten in total.
Before the steward could react, Nian Shutong had already descended from the starship, followed by Xia Tian, who also thanked the steward.
"Thank you."
"Thanks, Auntie."
"Thanks a lot!"
Xia Tian, Dou Dou, and Ha Ha followed suit and got off the starship.
The steward, standing at the door, received thanks from cabin passengers for the first time and shouted loudly, "Thank you."
Thank you for the respect you showed me, it warmed my heart.
The group, already far from the starship, did not react; they had walked a long distance as the steward watched. She saw a man rush excitedly towards the group, then freeze in front of them in a fluster.
"Boss, it’s so good to see you after such a long time."
"Hello, President Yu. I apologize for the disturbance tonight."
"No, no, it’s my honor. My dad insisted on coming but I’ve stopped him. They’re all waiting at home."
Yu Zeming stepped aside, motioned with a gesture for them to follow, and led the group away, boarding the flying device he had prepared.
The flying device took off, heading towards the Yu Family’s old mansion in Zone 1.
Before arriving, Nian Shutong had contacted Yu Zeming to ask if she could pay a visit.
Yu Zeming, receiving the message, would not refuse. He immediately left his company and first contacted Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling.
The three members of the Yu Family treated this as a top priority. Other matters could be put on hold, but hosting Nian Shutong had to be perfect.
The father and sons went their separate ways—Yu Zeming to receive her, Yu Zeling to prepare ingredients, and Mr. Yu to supervise the cleaning of the house, not daring to leave any stone unturned.
The trip from Zone 3 to Zone 1 took about an hour, and soon the Yu Family arrived.
During the flight, Nian Shutong was resting with her eyes closed.
"We’ve arrived, Boss."
At Yu Zeming’s call, Nian Shutong opened her eyes and said to him, "Sorry, I’m a bit tired these days."
"No, no, don’t be courteous; let’s go inside and have a seat."
Yu Zeming disembarked first. Mr. Yu and Yu Zeling were already standing outside, along with the butler and some servants, the highest honor they could afford.
Inside the flying device, Nian Shutong took three gift boxes and four large baskets out of her Space Ring before disembarking.
Nian Shutong held the three gift boxes in one arm and led Dou Dou with the other hand. Xia Tian and Ha Ha each carried two large baskets and followed her down from the flying device.
When Nian Shutong and Dou Dou came down, Mr. Yu came forward to greet her.
"Welcome to our humble home. It’s an honor for the Yu Family."
"Mr. Yu, you are too kind. I apologize for dropping in unannounced."
"Good, good, let’s not stand on ceremony. Please, come inside."
Mr. Yu stepped aside, Nian Shutong moved slightly behind him, and they both walked toward the house.
Xia Tian and Ha Ha also disembarked, carrying the baskets and following behind. Yu Zeming and Yu Zeling, seeing the baggage, hurried forward to share the load.
When the two brothers saw the contents of the baskets, they couldn’t help but think: That’s so generous!
Each basket held different items—one was full of various vegetables, another full of fruits, the next loaded with all sorts of meat, and the last contained miscellaneous jars, which seemed to be sauces and pickles.
Once everyone was inside and seated, Nian Shutong pointed to the four baskets and said, "They’re all special produce from back home. Try to eat the vegetables and fruit quickly and let me know once you’re done; I’ll mail you more."
"The jars have various sauces made by our Master Fan—beef sauce, spicy sauce, and so on. They’re all fairly tasty, so I brought some for everyone to try."
"Ha ha ha ha! Great! I love these things." Mr. Yu was genuinely thrilled, as were all three of them.
