Chapter 899: Chapter 900: Luxury Life

"Huh? No way!" Lin Shu’s eyes widened instantly.

Zhong Chuling’s face turned completely red, looking shy and bashful, her head down without saying a word, though a peculiar sense of excitement and thrill welled up inside.

"Haha, just joking with you." Lin Su’er chuckled lightly.

Lin Shu patted her own chest and said, "Scared me to death! I thought I’d already been sent into the deep palace, where I’d never see the light of day again."

Lin Su’er burst out laughing and stopped in front of a small villa, saying, "It’s not that serious. You’ll stay here. See how it looks."

"Greetings, Lady Lin!" A servant immediately came to welcome them.

"Mm, these two younger sisters will stay here tonight. They are good friends of the Family Head, so make sure to take good care of them."

"Yes!" The servant agreed respectfully. As a servant of the Su Family, sharp observation was a must. Seeing how young and beautiful these two were, coupled with Lin Su’er’s special instructions, she subconsciously regarded them as future mistress candidates. How could she not show respect?

Lin Su’er led the two inside, saying, "Everything in the bedrooms is replaced with new items every time someone stays here. The bathrooms and other areas undergo thorough sanitization, so you can rest assured that there’s nothing unsanitary here."

"Oh my, that’s intense! Even five-star hotels don’t do it like this!" Lin Shu stuck out her tongue involuntarily.

Lin Su’er smiled and said, "This is the Su Family. If our environment can’t even match five-star hotels, we might as well live in one."

Lin Shu smirked again and said, "Rich people, indeed. Is there no one else here?"

"Just the two of you."

"This huge villa just for the two of us? Isn’t that way too extravagant?" Lin Shu exclaimed again.

Lin Su’er chuckled softly and said, "This is the Su Family’s guest accommodation. Of course, it has to be grand. Just stay here without worry. I’m busy tonight, so I won’t keep you company. You two should rest well first, and tomorrow we’ll have fun."

"Oh, right. You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Later, just tell the servant whatever you want to eat, and she’ll arrange it for you. Here, don’t hold back. Treat this place like your home."

"Alright, thank you, Sister Su’er." Lin Shu and Zhong Chuling saw Lin Su’er off, then exchanged glances, excitement and joy sparkling in their eyes.

"Ladies, would you like to eat now?" The servant, having heard Lin Su’er’s instructions, proactively approached to ask.

"Uh... What do you have to eat?"

"Whatever you want, we can make it. We have chefs skilled in all types of cuisines. The kitchen is stocked 24/7 and can whip up anything anytime."

"Um... Well, we’d like seafood," Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, not being familiar with cuisine types, and directly opted for what she preferred.

"And how would you like it seasoned?"

"Seasoned? Just make it how you think is best. We’re Tiannan people," Lin Shu said, mentioning where they lived, unsure about specific seasoning preferences.

"Understood. Please wait for a moment," the servant replied, leaving promptly to make arrangements.

After the servant left, Lin Shu blinked and said, "Let’s go check the place out."

"Sure," Zhong Chuling agreed enthusiastically, nodding.

The two explored the villa room by room, feeling as though their eyes weren’t big enough to take in everything.

After a while, the food arrived. Every dish was exquisitely crafted with impeccable ingredients, leaving the two young ladies full to the brim. The attention to detail in the service even extended to peeling shells for them, serving only the meat—such meticulous hospitality.

"Wow, this is the life that rich people live," Lin Shu sprawled out on an enormous bed, her limbs stretched wide, looking utterly carefree.

Zhong Chuling stood nearby, smiling gently, "Yeah, it’s really luxurious."

Lin Shu shifted to lie on her side, a hand propping up her head, and said, "I’m doomed. This bourgeois level of indulgence is going to corrupt me. I don’t even want to leave anymore. Now I understand why some girls would give up their dignity to become a mistress for wealthy men."

Zhong Chuling chuckled softly, "Then stay here and become a proper lady for the Family Head. You’ll get to live here forever."

"Dream on! Don’t think Lin Shu is that easy to get. If someone wants me as their lady, they’ve got lots to wish for," Lin Shu haughtily lifted her chin. "I, Lin Shu, would never stoop that low."

At this, Zhong Chuling lightly shook her head and said, "Even though the Family Head is undeniably extraordinary, it’s hard to believe he’s this intimidating. I almost feel too scared to speak to him right now."

Lin Shu wanted to refute her but eventually conceded, saying weakly, "You’re right. Even if I act tough, I’m always uneasy deep inside, terrified I might genuinely anger the Family Head. Sigh, the gap in status is just too immense. He’s not the same man he used to be."

Zhong Chuling heaved a sad sigh as well, "Yeah, we’re just two little girls. Best to behave and not provoke him."

"Why should we? Just because he’s rich and powerful, we have to behave? I... I... Fine, I’ll just behave a little. If I can take advantage of such a wealthy man, I suppose it’s something to be proud of. Take Ji Huan, for instance—she’s dying to catch his attention, but he doesn’t even glance her way."

Zhong Chuling laughed aloud, "You’ve even surrendered to taking advantage!"

"What choice do I have? I can’t afford to cross the Family Head. I used to dream of getting back at him, but now, if I actually did, he might throw me into the river to feed the turtles."

Zhong Chuling giggled again, "Then tomorrow I’ll tell the Family Head you’re completely fine with being taken advantage of."

"Go ahead and tell him! I’ll drag you along, so he can take advantage of both of us together!"

The two laughed and teased each other, thoroughly enjoying themselves. But soon, Ji Huan’s call came through on Zhong Chuling’s phone.

Ji Huan immediately started apologizing profusely, almost crying and pleading.

"Xiao Ling, please forgive me! I really know I was wrong. If you don’t forgive me, my grandpa will scold me to death and kick me out. Please be generous and don’t hold it against me, okay?"

Lin Shu rolled her eyes and said, "Don’t bother listening to her. She’s too conniving."

Zhong Chuling sighed lightly, shook her head gently, and said, "I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Don’t do such things again."

Ji Huan quickly promised, "I won’t! I definitely won’t anymore."

"Alright then. But I’m not sure if the Family Head will forgive you. I’ll try to talk to him tomorrow," Zhong Chuling ended up softening despite the misdeed against her. She just couldn’t bear holding grudges when she hadn’t been hurt.
