Hard work after winning the lottery

The black limousine, like a silent fish, glided silently into the most bustling part of the city center.

The scenery outside the car window rushed past, and the towering glass curtain wall reflected the midday sun, making it hard to open one's eyes.

Finally, the convoy came to a smooth stop in front of the five-star hotel lobby.

The revolving door slowly turned, bringing out a cool and pleasant breeze, along with a faint aroma of white tea.

Inside the lobby, two people who had been waiting for a long time quickly came out to greet them.

The man was tall and imposing. Although his temples were slightly gray, one could still vaguely discern his handsome features from his youth. He was none other than Zhou Ye, the chairman of the Zhou Group.

The woman beside him, wearing a light blue cheongsam with a Suzhou embroidered shawl, exuded a gentle and graceful air. She was none other than Zhou Yanjin's mother, Lin Yi.

The elderly couple had already circled around here several times before the plane even landed.

As soon as the car stopped, before Zhou Ye could even straighten the hem of his suit, Lin Yi had already let go of his hand.

The car door was opened by a waiter.

Hua Shu and Li Guifen had just taken one step when they were stunned by the scene before them.

Before they could react, a pair of well-maintained hands warmly grasped Li Guifen's calloused hands.

"Mother-in-law, oh dear, you must have had a long and tiring journey!"

Lin Yi's face was full of genuine smiles, without the slightest airs of a wealthy socialite, and her eyes were full of kindness.

Li Guifen tried to pull her hand back, but the other person held it even tighter.

"It's not hard work at all, it's just that I'm causing you trouble."

Li Guifen muttered, glancing somewhat nervously at the magnificent gold decorations around her.

Zhou Ye strode forward, grabbed Hua Shu's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Father-in-law, aren't you tired?"

Hua Shu's tense nerves relaxed a bit in response to the other person's hearty laughter.

"Jay Chou...you're too kind."

"Don't call me Jay Chou, just call me by my name, or even Lao Zhou!"

Zhou Ye waved his hand and casually took the slightly faded canvas bag from Hua Shu's hand.

Hua Shu was startled and quickly protected him, saying, "No, no, this bag of ash is huge, I'll carry it myself."

Zhou Yanjin walked over at the opportune moment, naturally took the bag from his father-in-law, and handed it to Chen Xu behind him.

"Dad, let Chen Xu take it upstairs. Let's not stand at the door."

At that moment, the three little ones in the car behind also got out.

"grandmother!"

Si Tao, with her sharp eyes, spotted her grandma and pounced on her with her short legs.

Lin Yi's heart melted. She squatted down and hugged Si Tao tightly, then casually put her arms around Si An and Sile who were walking over.

"Oh, my dear grandchildren, I've missed you so much!"

She kissed each of her three children's delicate, pretty faces, her eyes and brows beaming with undisguised joy.

Then, she stood up, took Si Tao's hand with one hand, and naturally took Grandma Hua's arm with the other, while also greeting Li Guifen.

"Auntie, sister, let's not stand in the wind. The room has been prepared. Let's go upstairs and rest for a while."

Grandma Hua felt comforted by being called "Auntie," and her initial tension vanished.

The group entered the elevator in a grand procession.

The elevator is designed for one household per elevator. Before this, the Hua family had never seen such a spacious elevator car, which even had a genuine leather sofa inside.

With a soft "ding," the elevator stopped at the top floor.

Zhou Yanjin held several room cards in her hand and distributed them methodically.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, I've booked the entire suite on this floor."

He pointed to a double wooden door on his left.

"Grandpa and Grandma live in this room, and Mom and Dad live in the room next door. There is an inner door in the middle so they can connect and take care of each other."

As for Hua'an, he was assigned to a room with a view across the street.

Swipe the card and push the door open.

Although they were mentally prepared, the Hua family members still couldn't help but gasp when the entire room was revealed to them.

too big.

The living room alone is more than twice as spacious as the main room in my old home in Baixi Village.

Underfoot was a thick, intricate Persian carpet, so soft and silent that it felt like walking on clouds.

A huge crystal chandelier hung down, each crystal sparkling.

What's most impressive is that entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Zhou Yanjin pressed the smart switch on the wall.

The heavy velvet curtains slowly slid open to both sides.

At this moment, the bustling scenery of the entire City A unfolded before our eyes like a giant painting.

Skyscrapers stand tall, and traffic flows like a river.

The overpasses in the distance resemble a coiled dragon, winding and intertwining.

Pedestrians on the ground are as small as ants, while cars look like moving beetles.

The overwhelming visual impact from above left Hua Mutou, who had spent his entire life toiling in the fields, feeling dizzy.

He instinctively took a half step back and held onto the armrest of the leather sofa next to him.

"Goodness gracious...this house is built so tall, aren't you afraid it will collapse?"

The old man muttered to himself, his beard twitching.

Zhou Yanjin explained gently, "Grandpa, this building has earthquake-resistant design, it's very safe."

Lin Yi didn't give her in-laws much time to be reserved.

Like a skilled hostess, she instructed the waiter to bring over the fruit platter and snacks that had been prepared in advance.

On the exquisite bone china plate were washed cherries, sliced ​​cantaloupe, and several other tropical fruits that the Chinese family couldn't name.

"Auntie, this was just flown in by air, please have a taste."

Lin Yi personally used a silver fork to pick up a piece of honeydew melon and handed it to Grandma Hua.

"And this snack is low in sugar and easy to digest."

Zhou Ye pulled Hua Shu to sit on the sofa, and instead of discussing business, they talked about fishing and farming.

This perfectly timed warmth and thoughtfulness, like a spring breeze, quietly dissolved the barriers between the two social classes.

The atmosphere in the room gradually warmed up.

Hua Yun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching this scene, her eyes slightly warm.

She knew that Zhou's parents were doing this entirely out of respect for Zhou Yanjin, and even more so to save face for her.

Zhou Yanjin walked up behind her and gently squeezed her hand.

The dry, warm palms conveyed a silent power.

"Go wash your face, change your clothes, and rest for a bit."

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

"Grandpa is getting impatient waiting at the old house. He just sent me three messages to urge me on."

Hua Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

After a short rest, the group set off again.
