Chapter 585 The Eloquent Stepmother
The Luo family lived in the Oulihua Mansion in the eastern part of J City.
Oulihua Mansion is a long-established high-end residential community, and wealthy parents and grandparents in J City generally prefer to settle here.
This place is not far from the city center, with a superior location and convenient transportation. All the houses in the community are designed as detached houses with their own courtyards.
The Luo family lived in one of the five-room, four-and-a-half-story mansions here.
The villas here almost all have a garden in front and a swimming pool in the back, which is the standard configuration of a luxury home.
Jiang Duoduo already owns many luxury mansions and villas, so she felt that this Oulihua Mansion was not as luxurious as rumored.
The nanny and gardener of the Luo family have been working for about ten years, so as soon as Luo Kai's car came in, Old Yang, who tends the garden, ran over with a smile to greet Luo Kai.
"Xiao Kai, you're here! Please come in!"
Jiang Duoduo never expected that the first person she would meet at the Luo family would be Luo Zifeng.
"Ok!"
When Luo Kai saw Luo Zifeng, he just grunted and didn't say anything more. He then pulled Jiang Duoduo and walked into the living room.
Jiang Duoduo nodded slightly to Luo Zifeng as a greeting.
Just then, a middle-aged woman in a coffee-colored velvet dress swayed as she walked over from the restaurant. Her smile immediately brightened when she saw Luo Kai.
"Oh, Xiao Kai's here! This must be Miss Jiang, right? She's so beautiful!"
When Luo Kai was a child, Ye Qingqing always liked to call him Kai Kai, pretending that she was very close to Luo Kai.
When Luo Kai was a child, he would fall for her charms, but now that he's grown up, he gets goosebumps whenever she calls him Kai Kai.
Later, Luo Shengtian suggested calling him Xiao Kai. He's so old, calling him Kai Kai sounds awkward, like a mama's boy.
"Um! Aunt Ye, where's my dad?"
Luo Kai didn't say much to Ye Qingqing; he went straight to asking where his father was.
Hello, Aunt Ye!
Jiang Duoduo followed Luo Kai's lead and politely greeted Aunt Ye.
She could tell that there was a hint of scheming hidden in the stepmother's smile towards Luo Kai.
However, Jiang Duoduo didn't come here today to argue with her stepmother, so she followed Luo Kai quietly like a good girl.
"Good! This little girl is so adorable!"
Ye Qingqing looked Jiang Duoduo up and down, saying polite words.
Then, as if remembering something, she said, "Xiao Kai, your dad is in the study upstairs! He'll be down in a bit. Please take Miss Jiang to sit on the sofa in the living room."
"it is good!"
Seeing Ye Qingqing acting like a loving mother, Luo Kai didn't bother to play along. He simply said "okay" and pulled Jiang Duoduo to sit on the sofa.
"I'm going upstairs to check on Feilin. Mom, please call us when it's time to eat!"
Seeing that Luo Kai ignored him, Luo Zifeng didn't want to make a fool of himself and went upstairs by himself.
"Okay, go ahead! This is how it is with the first pregnancy; she's nauseous and wants to vomit all the time. Go and keep her company!"
Film?
First pregnancy?
Jiang Duoduo and Luo Kai felt a bit shocked by what they heard!
Jiang Duoduo, in particular, now guesses that Luo Zifeng's girlfriend is most likely Qin Feilin, whom she knows.
These two are moving way too fast! They already have a child?
After Luo Zifeng went upstairs, Ye Qingqing asked a maid to make tea for Jiang Duoduo. Then she said she was going to the kitchen to see how Aunt Qin was preparing dinner and asked Luo Kai to sit with Jiang Duoduo in the living room for a while.
"See, my guess was pretty accurate, wasn't it?"
Jiang Duoduo took a few sips of the tea her aunt had brewed, glanced upstairs, and said with a smile.
"What's so accurate?"
Luo Kai glanced at his phone, but didn't understand for a moment.
"Didn't I say before that Luo Zifeng's girlfriend might be Qin Feilin? I didn't expect it to actually be her!"
Jiang Duoduo felt that her guess was accurate. Should she go and buy a lottery ticket?
No, one set probably isn't enough; she'll need to buy hundreds of sets!
With her mind set on winning the lottery, Jiang Duoduo's face was naturally beaming with joy.
"Oh! That's true! It's quite accurate. Should I call you Master Jiang then?"
Luo Kai put down his phone and, seeing that no one was around, started joking with Jiang Duoduo.
Since getting together with Jiang Duoduo, Luo Kai's icy persona has become increasingly unstable, and it might collapse at any moment.
"Master Jiang?"
"Luo Kai, can't you speak properly! Aren't all those so-called 'immortals' just shamans? How could someone as beautiful as me be a shaman!"
"What's her name? Goddess Jiang? Does 'Goddess' sound nice? I'm just afraid someone'll add 'jing' to it..."
Luo Kai deliberately teased Jiang Duoduo in a serious manner.
With Jiang Duoduo around, Luo Kai almost forgot that this was the last place he wanted to be.
"Who's 'others'... You, Luo Kai, are actually insulting me indirectly..."
"No, no! In my eyes, goddesses and crazy girls are equally beautiful!"
"You still call her a crazy woman..."
Luo Kai and Jiang Duoduo were chatting and laughing downstairs when Luo Shengtian came down and saw them.
This is Luo Kai...
Luo Shengtian hasn't been seen for many years...
His son rarely opened up to him, and when the two sat down together, they mostly talked about business.
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time! May I, this old comrade, join you in the conversation?"
Luo Shengtian's sudden voice startled Jiang Duoduo.
"Dad! This is Jiang Duoduo, my girlfriend!"
Upon seeing his father, Luo Kai's nerves, which had just relaxed, immediately tightened again.
He pulled Jiang Duoduo to her feet and earnestly introduced the two of them.
"Hello, Uncle Luo!"
Jiang Duoduo quickly composed herself and politely greeted the newcomer.
Luo Shengtian, as expected of a business tycoon, had eyes as sharp as an eagle's, making Jiang Duoduo feel uneasy.
Although he had a smile on his face when he spoke, he always gave people an invisible sense of pressure.
"Hello, Xiao Jiang, please have a seat! Don't be shy, make yourself at home!"
Luo Shengtian sat down opposite Jiang Duoduo and Luo Kai, and then began a question-and-answer chat with Jiang Duoduo.
Luo Shengtian: How old is Xiao Jiang this year?
Jiang Duoduo: I'll be 25 after the New Year!
Luo Shengtian: That's much younger than my Luo Kai! How did you two meet?
Jiang Duoduo: I used to work as a receptionist at Leica International.
Luo Kai: Dad, are you checking my household registration? Didn't we say we were here for dinner?
Seeing Jiang Duoduo's somewhat awkward and forced performance, Luo Kai interrupted Luo Shengtian's question.
"Hahaha...you silly kid, I was just chatting with Xiao Jiang about everyday things..."
"Then... let's eat first and talk while we eat..."
Luo Shengtian smiled and stood up from the sofa, inviting Jiang Duoduo to have a meal together at the restaurant.
This time, he unusually refrained from having anyone investigate Jiang Duoduo's family background, precisely because he was afraid that Luo Kai might be unhappy if he found out.
In Luo Shengtian's heart, there will always only be one heir to the Luo family, and that is Luo Kai.
The reason he treated Luo Zifeng so well since childhood was twofold: first, Luo Zifeng was the son of the woman he loved; and second, he wanted to use Luo Zifeng as a whetstone for Luo Kai.
