Chu Family’s Residence
After breakfast, Chu Xiao waited until Ling Fan fell asleep before he put on his clothes and got up to go to the study.
Soon, Uncle Li came in with a cup of tea. "Young master, this is some black tea."
"Put it over there."
Hearing that, Uncle Li put the tea on the table, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
"Young master, everything you need in your room is ready."
"Mm," Chu Xiao responded, but after thinking for a while, he added, "Go in and pack up later."
After all, Ling Fan was still resting inside.
"Yes, but…do you need to prepare a guest room for Young Master Ling?" After hesitating for a moment, Uncle Li still suggested.
Although his question looked like buillsh*t since he had seen them making out, as an excellent old housekeeper, Uncle Li felt that he should ask.
Before this, Uncle Li thought that he knew Chu Xiao very well, but having only been for a few months, the young master had changed so much.
Even though the change may not be a bad thing in the eyes of someone like Uncle Li.
Hearing Uncle Li's question, the pen Chu Xiao used to handle the documents suddenly stopped.
"No need." Chu Xiao said without hesitation, after a pause, he added, "He lives with me."
"Alright, I'll go and arrange for the items that Young Mr. Ling needs," Uncle Li nodded and said.
Finally, Uncle Li couldn't help but ask with concern, "Young master, you and Mr. Ling, you…"
"We are lovers," Chu Xiao answered seriously. Maybe his life partner in the future.
As he spoke, a very genuine smile appeared on Chu Xiao's face, which coincidentally confirmed his statement.
Hearing that, Uncle Li also smiled.
"Hehe, I can tell Mr. Ling is not bad," he smiled with the compliment.
He saw Chu Xiao’s change, and if he guessed it right, it should be Ling Fan’s credit.
Moreover, Uncle Li’s compliment of Ling Fan was from the bottom of his heart.
Although they didn’t contact much, although Ling Fan was still young, he gave Uncle Li a steady and not simple feeling, but he was modest. Most importantly, his attitude towards their young master was obviously serious from the perspective of him as a bystander.
The point was that the young master and Mr. Ling were indeed very suitable for each other.
As Chu Xiao heard it, the radians of his mouth widened, "Yeah, he's very good."
"We will stay here in the future." Chu Xiao looked at Uncle Li and said.
"A long one?" Hearing him, Uncle Li was a little excited, then a big smile crawled onto that wrinkled face. "Hehe, this is great!"
This was the main house of the Chu family. No matter what had ever happened here, it had a special meaning to Chu Xiao and him, the old housekeeper who had worked here for decades.
This place had been empty for so long, so it did need some human breaths.
However, before, he knew that the young master had a lot of bad memories about this place and was unwilling to stay long, so Uncle Li couldn't force him to expect what.
But now, not only the young master ate food here, he even planned to stay here! FOR A LONG TIME!
Does this mean that the young master has completely let go of those bad memories?
If that was the case, it would be a great thing!
"Since the young master and Mr. Ling will take a long stay, I have to make full preparations.”
Uncle Li felt so thrilled in his heart. He once again owed all of this to Ling Fan, so his favorable impression towards Ling Fan increased significantly.
And, Uncle Li, get me the title deed and property certificate o in the next two days. I will have the lawyer come over and transfer the ownership of this house under Ling Fan’s name."
When Chu Xiao said this, even he himself felt he was a little unruly. At least before he met Ling Fan, however he loathed this place, he would never do such a crazy thing.
However, ever since he met Ling Fan…
Come on! This was not the only crazy thing he had done after that…
Chu Xiao sighed in his heart with some self-deprecation but his expression was still quite serious.
Actually, he didn't need to tell Uncle Li so much about this matter at all. But, anyhow, Uncle Li had been an old housekeeper taking care of this palce for so many years, he only told him out of the respect.
And undoubtedly…
After hearing Chu Xiao's arrangement, Uncle Li looked startled.
"You mean to transfer the main house under the name of Mr. Ling?” Uncle Li couldn't believe it. Although he knew that Ling Fan's position in the young master's heart was very important, this was the Chu family's main residence!
If it was transferred under Ling Fan’s name, it was not simply losing the main house, but it means that the whole Chu family no longer existed!
After all, Uncle Li was someone of the older generation, so in his opinion, the main residence represented a family. The family would have a strong rise and fall, but as long as the main house was still there, the family would still be there.
In fact, it was not just Uncle Li. Even now, those big families still had this concept.
Even though Uncle Li did not say it explicitly, Chu Xiao obviously guessed what Uncle Li wanted to say.
"The Chu family has long disappeared," Chu Xiao suddenly said in a low voice.
After saying that, he seemed to realize that his attitude was too indifferent, so he relaxed his tone and said, "He will pay."
This was not a matter of money, OK…
Hearing Chu Xiao's words, Uncle Li's face wrinkled. No matter how steady he was, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Besides, although he knew that the person who can be chosen by the young master would not be simple, he really did not expect that Ling Fan would have such a huge wealth at such a young age. One needed to know, aside from what the main house meant to Chu family, it was really expensive…
Ahem, ahem, wait, it was not a problem about money!
Uncle Li opened his mouth and tried to dissuade Chu Xiao, but after seeing the irrefutability on Chu Xiao's face, he could only hold it back.
Alas…forget it, no one could change the young master as long as he made the decision. He only wished that before this matter was completed, the young master could change his mind…
After all, even if it was not a free transfer, selling the Chu family's main house was really a huge thing.
Uncle Li sighed and finally left the study in silence.
As long as he stepped out the room, he met Ling Fan leaning against the corridor outside the study.
Seeing Ling Fan, Uncle Li was slightly stunned. So he must have heard the conversation between them, so he had already known this?
"Uncle Li, anything you want to say to me?" Ling Fan asked as he looked at the old man in front of him.
"Uhh, I'll go prepared the lunch. Mr. Ling can take another break or look around," Uncle Li nodded and said.
After all, according to the young master's instructions, no matter whether this house would be transferred under Ling Fan’s name, he would live here.
Therefore, even though Uncle Li had a knot in his heart towards Ling Fan, his attitude was still very friendly.
However, Ling Fan didn't go walk around as he said.
"If Uncle Li has nothing to say to me, then listen to what I’ll say," Ling Fan said directly.
Hearing that, Uncle Li was stunned, but he quickly reacted. "Mr. Ling, please follow me to the living room."
…
"A few hours ago, I was still living in an old house less than 50 square meters," Ling Fan said as he sat on the sofa.
This sentence successfully made Uncle Li wear a strange look.
Without waiting for Uncle Li to say anything, Ling Fan continued, "The reason why I live there is not because I don't have money, but because I don't have a request for where to live."
"Well…" Ling Fan's words were actually a bit beyond Uncle Li's range of thought.
However, Uncle Li did not doubt the authenticity of his words.
But…apparently he was rich, but till chose to live in such a small, old house.
Wasn’t he a little…well, too individualized?
"When I was alone, it doesn’t matter where I live actually The reason why I am thinking about changing a place is because I don’t want Chu Xiao to waste too much time on the road."
Actually, Uncle Li had already approved of Ling Fan's words, but…
"This is the main house. It means something different to the Chu family," Uncle Li finally frowned and said in a deep voice.
Since the young master is too wishful, I hope Mr. Ling could stay sober.
Unfortunately, the result was destined to disappoint Uncle Li.
"Didn't Chu Xiao say it before? The Chu family, hmm, to be more precise, the original Chu family has long gone,” so since Chu Xiao didn’t care about it anymore, what should he?
What's more, compared to those rich big families, he used to be an ordinary lowly commoner. All he could think of was how to live in a better place, totally having no concept of the main house thing.
Seeing that Uncle Li had a sad look on his face, Ling Fan suddenly couldn't bear it, so he added, "Don't worry, Uncle Li. I don't have any thoughts of occupying this place as my own, nor will I do anything to it."
"To tell the truth," Ling Fan suddenly curled his lips, "Apart from Chu Xiao, I don't care about anything else about the Chu family. As for why I am willing to transfer this house under my name, just blame it for my male chauvinism.”
Ling Fan's words could be said to be quite arrogant…
But, unexpectedly, Uncle Li got pacified by Ling Fan's honesty.
…
At night, as Uncle Li was about to prepare for dinner, Chu Xiao stopped him. He was not sure if Ling Fan would be willing to sleep here, so they didn't bring their luggage when they came over.
Although Chu Xiao had decided to buy all of Ling Fan's things for him, he still had to bring some important things over.
As for Chu Xiao, he had hardly stayed here before, so he still needed to go back to pack some things up.
