At the entrance of the villa area, which was as bright as day, dozens of security guards stood dutifully at their posts. The property management here was also under Huaxin. So, when the bright red Ferrari and the black Mercedes - Benz drove into their alert range simultaneously, the security guards in the duty room subconsciously straightened their backs.
Xiao Sheng, driving the car, couldn't help but look sideways at the extremely luxurious entrance of the villa area. In Xiao Sheng's view, the most eye - catching thing was the "monument" standing tall there. On the monument, there were four dazzling Chinese characters in regular script, "Spring Scenery Fills the Garden". This couldn't help but remind Xiao Sheng of the line from the Song - Dynasty poet Ye Shaoweng, "Spring scenery in the garden can't be contained; a sprig of red apricot blossoms reaches out of the wall." Isn't this an implication that the people living here are all prone to having extramarital affairs? Thinking of this, a somewhat "lewd" smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Sheng's mouth. He had two beautiful women accompanying him at work, and now he would be living in a place full of resentful women waiting to have affairs, just waiting for him to conquer them. Such a life was like something only in heaven.
The winding path was like a secluded passage leading to a quiet place. It was the time of the exchange between spring and summer, and the shrubs on both sides of the path were extremely thick. The faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind from time to time, making people feel relaxed and happy. Such a "fascinating" living environment would surely add at least ten years to one's life!
The single - family villa where Chen Shuyuan lived was at the bottom of the community, close to the continuous mountains. Tong Tong, who had arrived home earlier, had already opened the nearly four - meter - wide iron gate with an electronic remote - control key. Tong Tong, who had parked the car, was chatting with a woman in her sixties with a smile. From her simple and plain attire, Xiao Sheng could easily tell that she was probably the maid here.
However, as soon as Chen Shuyuan got out of the car, she walked up to the woman in the first place, tightly held her hand, and softly called out, "Aunt Wu..." A kind smile appeared on the old woman's face. And Dai Muxue, who followed closely behind, also called out after Chen Shuyuan. Dai Muxue didn't live here. Usually, after sending the boss back, she would be sent back to the urban area by Hong, and then come back early the next morning. But now, as Chen Shuyuan's personal bodyguard, Xiao Sheng obviously had to live and eat with her. So, after giving Chen Shuyuan a few instructions, Dai Muxue drove a common Mazda 6 out of the villa from the garage on her own.
From the words and deeds of Chen Shuyuan and Tong Tong, Xiao Sheng could easily tell that the two women respected the old woman. Xiao Sheng, who had great respect for the elderly himself, after parking the car, respectfully came to Aunt Wu and softly greeted her. After all, in the following days, he was going to live here and rely on them for food. If he didn't please the "logistics minister", he wouldn't get anything to eat!
Facing this polite and sweet - mouthed young man, after a brief introduction by Chen Shuyuan, Aunt Wu kindly took Xiao Sheng's hand, inquired about his well - being, and was about to go inside to arrange a room for him as she spoke. But after entering the living room, Aunt Wu was a bit 为难. All the rooms in the main house were occupied by women. Although this man was invited by Old Man Chen to be Chen Shuyuan's bodyguard, so his character must be reliable, it still seemed inappropriate to arrange him here.
Tong Tong, who was originally dragging her slippers and secretly eating fruits in the living room, heard the conversation between Aunt Wu and Chen Shuyuan. She jumped over and said with a giggle, "Aunt Wu, then let him live in the courtyard!"
"In the courtyard? There are no rooms in the courtyard, except..." Speaking of this, Aunt Wu turned her head to look at Tong Tong, with an embarrassed smile on her face.
"What's the problem? That room is empty anyway. You guys wait. I'll go tell him!" After saying that, Tong Tong stuffed all the bananas in her hand into her mouth and quickly walked towards Xiao Sheng, who was standing at the door packing his things.
Xiao Sheng carefully took out his large canvas bag from the trunk. As he was bending over to tidy the opening of the bag, he heard Tong Tong's hasty footsteps. He slowly stood up and turned around. When he saw Tong Tong's sweet smile, he couldn't help but think of the speed at which she switched between being a devil and an angel just now. He unconsciously took half a step back and looked at her warily.
"Hey, big guy, come with me. I'll show you the room you'll live in!" Tong Tong, with her mouth full of bananas and still chewing, mumbled as she spoke. After barely understanding what she meant, Xiao Sheng carried his canvas bag and followed closely behind Tong Tong towards a small room next to the gate.
Aunt Wu, standing in the hall, still felt embarrassed and was discussing something with Chen Shuyuan. And this "cold - hearted" boss just showed a faint smile and didn't give a reply.
Following Tong Tong into the room, a smell hit his nose. Looking at the interior decoration and the chain locked on the handrail, Xiao Sheng turned his head and asked with some surprise, "Who lived here before?"
"This? This was where my little cutie lived before. But it died a few days ago. I loved my little cutie the most. Now I'm giving its room to you reluctantly..."
"Wait a minute, why are there dog hairs here..."
"Hehe, my little cutie was just a dog. Haha..." After saying that, Tong Tong quickly ran back to the living room, and her laughter filled the entire Chen family compound.
"Damn it, they want me to live in a doghouse?" Recovering from his shock, Xiao Sheng suddenly turned his head, with an indignant expression on his face.
For a special forces soldier who had long been working in the deep mountains and old forests, facing the loess and the sky, the place to live was just a place to rest. To be honest, this room of less than fifteen square meters, apart from being decorated like a place for animals, wasn't that bad in other aspects.
Resigned, Xiao Sheng put the canvas bag at the door, took off the suit jacket he was wearing, found a broom from the courtyard, and entered the room to clean it carefully on his own. Aunt Wu, who couldn't stand watching, coughed, then hurried out. Tong Tong, hiding behind Chen Shuyuan, had an innocent look in her eyes and asked softly, "Cousin, did I do something wrong again..." This time, Chen Shuyuan didn't scold her. Instead, she lovingly stroked her hair and gently shook her head.
Seeing Aunt Wu come over to help, Xiao Sheng, who was originally full of annoyance, quickly stood up to decline. But unable to resist the old woman's stubbornness, Xiao Sheng finally had no choice but to say softly, "Aunt Wu, I'm hungry. Have you cooked? Make more tonight..." Hearing this, Aunt Wu remembered that she had only cooked for three people today. Then she hurried to the kitchen. Xiao Sheng sincerely respected this kind - hearted and simple - natured old woman. Bending slightly, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but think of his mother, who was still practicing Buddhism with her hair at Putuo Mountain. The usually optimistic Xiao Sheng also felt a bit sad.
People always say that they want to marry a rich person, but who can really understand the true meaning of the saying, "Once you enter the mansion of the nobility, it's like entering a deep sea"? Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly and continued with the work in his hands...
