Chapter 573 - 592 An Family Mansion (9)
Han Xiayang didn’t stay long before he got up to say goodbye; he could only leave because of the phone call urging him from downstairs. As he was about to go down, he muttered, "Obviously, the equipment and environment on the tenth floor are the best, yet those people insist that the fewer people, the less lively it is, and want to go downstairs to join the crowd."
Lin Mubai casually responded to his remark, "You can come and hang out anytime."
"Really."
"Yeah, my wife said so."
The first thing his wife said upon returning upstairs tonight was, "From now on, if they want to come play, they can just come upstairs. There’s no need to squeeze in with those people downstairs. After all, when I designed the top floor, it was meant for hosting friends, and I never have many friends."
Han Xiayang felt very touched after hearing this: "Nannan is still the best, still the best; I must convey this to those bastards downstairs."
Han Xiayang had just left, and Lin Mubai had just returned to his room when his phone rang again. It was someone both unfamiliar and familiar: "Young Master Lin, got a moment to chat?"
Lin Mubai thought for a moment and agreed: "Nannan is still asleep, I can’t go downstairs, come on up."
Ouyang Lei was waiting for this line and immediately agreed: "Okay, please wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the few people in front of him: "Let’s go, upstairs."
Lin Mubai originally thought it was only Ouyang Lei coming up, but when he saw four men and one woman come up, he was slightly stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
Shen Mengqi immediately headed to the kitchen to start brewing coffee upon coming up. You should know that the coffee beans on the ’Champs Elysees’ roof are all top-notch, scoured from all over the world by the food-loving An Nan. It’s rare for her to come up here, so of course, she has to drink her fill, and while enjoying herself, she didn’t forget about the others.
Her coffee-making skills were also honed by that food-loving woman. They say practice makes perfect; she didn’t believe it before, but now she trusts it completely.
When the coffee was served, the five men didn’t start speaking and were more like big eyes glaring at small ones.
"What are you guys doing? Did you come all this way to stay silent all night? You might as well go home, curl up in your blankets, and sleep." Shen Mengqi was always straightforward in her speech. After her quip, she glanced around and continued to ask, confusedly, "Where’s An Nan?"
Lin Mubai repeated patiently again: "She’s asleep."
"Oh, oh, oh." She then sat down, gently savoring her freshly brewed coffee.
After finishing half a cup, seeing the men still playing the silence game, she grumpily spoke up again: "Can you big men stop acting cool? Are you all reluctant to speak up and lower your status? Fine, let me say it. Young Master Lin, let me ask you, what are you planning with our An Nan? Are you planning to just take her home? I grew up with her; to me, she’s like my sister, and if you have such intentions, I will be the first to refuse." After finishing her words, Shen Mengqi fiercely slammed her coffee cup back onto the table, exerting an invisible pressure.
Her sister was someone she raised in the palm of her hand; how could she be deceived and taken away just like that.
Thinking of this, she glared at Lin Mubai, as if the moment he uttered a dissatisfactory answer, she would move forward and tear him apart.
