"Okay... well, that's fine, but Er Zhu, you have to call me every day, otherwise, I'm coming to find you!"
"I want that too, if you don't call me, I'll miss you terribly!"
"Me too!"
"And me!"
Hearing Li Mei say this, and seeing Er Zhu's unquestionable expression, Wang Xiaomei and the others could only compromise.
There was no other way. If they wanted to stay by Er Zhu's side forever, the most basic requirement was not to make him angry, even if they were all heads of prominent families!
"Mm." Er Zhu nodded slightly. Although he was a little reluctant, since Wang Xiaomei and the others had taken a step back, he would also take a step back.
It wasn't that he was afraid of them, but he didn't want to waste time on such boring matters.
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Wang Xiaomei and the others happily went upstairs to pack their luggage, but Li Mei's heart was filled with bitterness.
She suddenly felt as if Er Zhu was an old landlord from ancient times, and Wang Xiaomei and the others were his concubines, while she herself didn't even have the qualifications to be a concubine...
Elder Fang stood by the side, feeling a little awkward. Indeed, heroes couldn't resist beauties, but didn't Er Zhu have too many beauties?
While Elder Fang was lost in thought, Wang Xiaomei and the others had already come downstairs with their suitcases. After bidding farewell to Er Zhu reluctantly, they left through the back door.
"Er Zhu, Miss Li, let's go too. More and more people are gathering outside, and the bodyguards are barely holding them back!"
After watching Wang Xiaomei and the others leave, Elder Fang pointed to the extended luxury car beside them and reminded them with a troubled expression.
"Let's go." Er Zhu nodded slightly and then pulled Li Mei towards the luxury car.
Sitting in the car, looking at Er Zhu beside her, Li Mei's bitterness suddenly disappeared, replaced by endless sweetness.
What if she didn't have the qualifications to be a concubine? In the end, she would be the only one accompanying Er Zhu!
The luxury car drove for about thirty minutes. What came into view was a dense forest, and in the center of the forest, the shining glazed tiles could be vaguely seen.
"This mountain is called Fengshan, the steepest peak in Huaibei City. There are only a dozen villas here, so privacy is very good!"
Elder Fang guided Er Zhu and Li Mei forward, while briefly introducing the surroundings. Looking at the three-story building in front of them, Li Mei smiled and nodded: "This villa reminds me of home in Shiliu Village."
"Yes, because going up the mountain is very strenuous, so the villas here are not as luxurious and grand as Ping Shan Villas, but this can still be considered a mansion."
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Elder Fang's eyes. Fearing that Er Zhu might dislike the villa, he quickly stepped forward to explain.
"Yes, Sister Mei didn't mean anything else, she just said it felt very familiar."
Er Zhu nodded slightly and slowly pushed open the door. What met their eyes was a spacious living room, filled with various antiques, and they were all genuine!
"You two, stay here to take care of Er Zhu and Miss Li."
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Elder Fang looked at the two bodyguards beside him and instructed them.
Although Er Zhu had Lin Mo to protect and care for him, as the host, he still felt he should provide more protection and care for Er Zhu.
"No need, Grandpa Fang, we have Lin Mo." Er Zhu turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Mo, who was following closely behind.
"Okay, fewer people is better, and fewer people are safer." Seeing Er Zhu shake his head, Elder Fang repeatedly nodded in agreement.
After chatting with Er Zhu for a few more words, Elder Fang left. After seeing Elder Fang off, Er Zhu entered the house.
"Er Zhu, what are your plans for the future?"
Seeing Er Zhu enter the house, Li Mei quickly stepped forward, her eyes filled with worry.
Er Zhu had now become a celebrity in Huaibei City's upper class, and it was impossible for him to develop his career in obscurity!
"Develop my career. I'll go to the company under the Liu family tomorrow to check the situation."
Er Zhu was stunned and didn't understand Li Mei's concerns. He waved his hand dismissively and replied.
"I think it's best for you not to go out for the time being. Those people won't find you at Ping Shan Villas, and they'll definitely search for you everywhere, especially... especially those young ladies and socialites."
Li Mei's brows furrowed even tighter. She worriedly analyzed the current situation for Er Zhu, but in the end, she became more and more uncertain, especially with those last four words, her voice became so low that even she could barely hear herself.
It was one thing for Wang Xiaomei and the others to pester Er Zhu every day, but then there were the young ladies and socialites of Huaibei City who wanted to throw themselves at Er Zhu. What if Er Zhu couldn't resist?
The thought of Er Zhu sharing a bed with other women made Li Mei feel as if she had overturned a vinegar jar, and she was furious.
"Sister Mei, you're overthinking it. If those women could succeed, they would have succeeded long ago. My heart is only for you!"
Seeing Li Mei's worried look, a trace of heartache flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He quickly explained, but after speaking, he realized that what he said didn't sound quite right.
"What did you say? Say it again!" Li Mei's eyes widened, excited and eager to confirm again. Hearing this, she felt her heart melt!
His heart was only for her!
So, was this Er Zhu's confession?
Oh my god, she had waited so long and finally reached this moment!
"Yes, I'm only focused on building my career now, so of course, my heart is only for you, my sister-in-law."
Looking at Li Mei's expectant eyes, Er Zhu dimmed his gaze and ultimately spoke words against his will.
After all, as his career developed better and better, the Kyoto side would pay more and more attention to him, and he absolutely couldn't drag Li Mei into trouble!
"Oh... so that's how it is." Hearing this, Li Mei's face instantly fell, and a flicker of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Yes, what was she expecting?
Er Zhu had long stopped being foolish. If he truly had feelings for her, they would have broken through the window long ago. She was just a sister-in-law!
"You'll eat alone later, I'm not hungry." Li Mei said this and then walked upstairs in a daze, her disappointed appearance making even Lin Mo feel heartache.
As an outsider, Lin Mo had long seen the feelings between Er Zhu and Li Mei, but since the master dared not admit it, he couldn't say anything.
Moreover, having mingled in wealthy families for many years, they also understood the bitterness of being in such circles. Others appeared glamorous in wealthy families, but no one could feel the deceit and intrigue within!
After hearing the door close, Er Zhu returned to his bedroom. The night passed without incident, and soon it was the next day.
After breakfast, Er Zhu went to a company owned by the Liu family that was closest to Fengshan, but as soon as he reached the entrance, he was stopped by the security guards.
"Sir, we only provide renovation services for luxury homes. We do not accept ordinary residential buildings!"
What the security guard said was reasonable, but his condescending and dismissive gaze was very annoying!
