Chapter 440: House
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It had to be said that although the house was not particularly big, it should feel good to live in. The lighting was good, and the layout was reasonable. “Have you lived here for a long time?” Jiang Fei asked after sitting down and seeing Lu Zhen go to the living room to pour him water.
Lu Zhen answered as she took the water, “After I came to Jia Le, I rented this house from Song Jia. He lives opposite.”
Jiang Fei was stunned. The person living opposite her was actually Song Jia? Did that kid have designs on his daughter from a long time ago? However, what surprised Jiang Fei was something else. This house was actually rented by his daughter. At first, he thought that Lu Zhen had bought this house.
Lu Zhen had been very popular all these years. Logically speaking, she had earned a lot of money. She would definitely be able to buy such a house effortlessly.
“Ningning, you didn’t buy a house?” Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment and asked.
Lu Zhen placed the cup on the table and said with a smile, “Not yet. When I first signed the contract with Jia Le, the money I had added up was almost not even enough for the rent.”
Jiang Fei frowned. “Do you mean that Lu He hasn’t given you any money all these years?”
Lu Zhen pursed her lips. “l was underage at that time. I did whatever he said. As for the money I earned… In his words, he had already spent a few million to nurture me. It’s only right for me to give him all the money I earned.”
When Jiang Fei heard this, he almost slammed the table in anger. He knew that Lu Zhen had been living very badly in the Lu family in the past, but he had never thought that the money his daughter had worked so hard to earn would be pocketed by Lu He.
Seeing Jiang Fei’s angry expression, Lu Zhen hurriedly said, “Dad, don’t be angry. I’m living very well now. I have the money to buy a house now, but I’m busy with work, so I didn’t look for an agent to choose a suitable house. In addition, I’m living in this house quite well, so I haven’t changed it.”
Jiang Fei sighed and held Lu Zhen’s hand. He said guiltily, “Ningning, it’s all my fault. I should have found you earlier. Don’t worry about the house. I have several houses in the capital and Hua City. My house is naturally yours. You can live anywhere you want in the future.”
Lu Zhen smiled and joked, “Daddy, I was still thinking of working hard for a few years. Now that you’ve said that, I’m almost out of motivation.”
With such a big boss as a father, ordinary people would have long been lying flat like salted fish. Who would want to work hard!
Jiang Fei knew that Lu Zhen was only saying this to make him happy. The corners of his mouth curled up. “If you have a dream, chase it. Leave everything else to me. I won’t let you worry about life and money anymore.
This is also the most insignificant thing I can do.”
After saying that, Jiang Fei looked at his watch. “It’s almost time. If you’re ready, let’s go.”
The two of them took a car to a Chinese restaurant in the western part of the capital. This Chinese restaurant was located beside the only natural lake in the capital. Nearby was the famous “royal natural garden” scenic area of the capital.
After Lu Zhen and Jiang Fei entered the Chinese restaurant, they saw someone dancing in traditional clothes on the stage in the middle of the first floor. On the right side of the stage, someone was playing a guzheng.
After entering the private room that Jiang Fei had reserved, he could see the lake not far away through the wooden window. Occasionally, a few water birds would fly past. It was rare to see such natural scenery in the capital. Lu Zhen could completely imagine that this cafeteria must be very expensive.
After the attendant brought the menu over, the price of the dishes confirmed
Lu Zhen’s guess.
After Lu Zhen ordered three dishes, Jiang Fei ordered a few more signature dishes. The most famous thing about this cafeteria was that it could eat the delicacies of the eight major cuisines in the country. Moreover, the taste was very authentic.
The owner of the Chinese restaurant could afford to hire the chefs from the eight major cuisines, so the investment cost was not low. Coupled with the geographical location and the cafeteria atmosphere, this was the real reason why this Chinese restaurant ranked in the top three every year. After a few dishes were served, Lu Zhen tasted them and was instantly stunned.
What was a top-notch delicacy? This was it.
It was not that Lu Zhen had never eaten expensive food in the past, but it had to be said that the essence of China’s thousand-year-old traditional delicacies was all in the table in front of her. Every dish was cooked to the extreme.
In ancient times, only the emperor and the concubines in the harem could enjoy such delicacies..
