Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Although everyone felt sorry for Li Menghan's breakup, they all tacitly chose to let him process it on his own.

After all, who hasn't encountered a few bad women when they were young? Who hasn't stumbled in love?

This is an essential part of growth, and no one can do it for you.

The next day was the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, at 9:00 AM.

Li Ze arrived at the entrance of Zhangjiazhai's old house in his Audi A6 on time.

He had already discussed it with Zhang Ruoran yesterday, and today he would take the mother and her three children to see their new home next to the university in Han City, and move their luggage there as well.

As soon as I parked the car, I saw that Zhang Ruoran and the others had already packed their things.

Actually, I didn't have much luggage, mainly some personal clothes and books, since the house there was fully furnished and ready to move in.

Just like before, Li Mengli happily jumped into the passenger seat of Li Ze's car.

Zhang Ruoran drove an old Volkswagen, with the silent Li Menghan following behind.

When he was leaving, his brother-in-law, Zhang Jianguo, and his whole family saw him off at the door.

"If so, brother-in-law, congratulations on moving to your new home!"

"Come back and visit often!"

Li Ze lowered the car window and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting.

"Definitely! Brother, once you've recovered from your illness in America and returned, you must come visit our new home. I'll treat you to the best food and wine!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the two vehicles slowly drove away from Zhangjiazhai and headed towards Han City.

On the way, Li Mengli seemed particularly excited, chirping incessantly like a little sparrow:

"Dad, what's the house like? How big is it? Is the decoration nice?"

Li Ze smiled mysteriously as he drove:

"You'll see when you get there; in short, you definitely won't be disappointed."

Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!

……

One hour later.

The convoy exited the elevated highway, turned onto a quiet tree-lined road, and finally stopped at the entrance of a residential complex called "Beichen Garden".

As soon as Li Mengli arrived at the residential area, she was surprised by the scene before her.

Each building here is not tall, only about six stories high, and they look very stylish.

Most importantly, the greenery here is simply amazing, with lush trees and neatly trimmed lawns everywhere. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were in a park.

Once inside the underground parking garage, the space was spacious and bright, with a shiny floor, a completely different world from the dark and damp parking garages of old residential areas.

After parking the car, everyone started moving their luggage.

Li Ze carried the two heaviest boxes and led the way:

"Let's go, we're in Building A, it's just ahead."

Upon arriving at the building entrance, Li Ze swiped his card and led everyone into the elevator.

He pressed the button for the third floor, turned to Ruoran and the children, and said:

"This building has one apartment per floor, which means that we are the only family on this floor."

"The elevator also allows direct access to your apartment with a card swipe, so there's no need to worry about being disturbed by outsiders."

Upon hearing the phrase "one elevator per household," Zhang Ruoran and Li Mengli's eyes lit up.

This is the kind of living environment that so many people dream of, with excellent privacy.

Li Menghan, however, still looked listless, leaning against the corner of the elevator with her backpack on, her eyes vacant.

It seems she hasn't gotten over the heartbreak yet, and her mind is still full of Dai Yuqian, the one who dumped her.

Li Ze glanced at his son but didn't say anything more.

Of course, there was one thing Li Ze didn't tell them.

That is to ensure the absolute safety of the mother and her two children. Li Ze had his men buy up the entire Beichen Garden community, including all the houses and properties.

In this community now, there are seemingly ordinary neighbors, security guards standing at the gate, and even cleaning ladies.

They are all top talents carefully selected from his group.

The old man walking his dog downstairs is actually a retired master of traditional Chinese medicine.

The young woman with her child in the next building is actually a top international lawyer.

The security guard at the entrance was a retired special forces veteran.

Li Ze spends exorbitant salaries to support these people, with only one purpose:

Whenever Ruoran and her children encounter any trouble, whether it's illness, disputes, or danger, these "accidentally" appearing kind neighbors can perfectly resolve it in the first instance.

This is what we call comprehensive protection.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened.

The first thing you see is a spacious entrance hall.

As soon as the door opened, Li Mengli was the first to rush inside.

"Wow--!!!"

A gasp echoed throughout the living room.

This house is absolutely huge!

The living room alone is nearly 100 square meters, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that provide excellent natural light, making the entire house bright.

The interior design style is a minimalist modern style, which looks high-end.

What shocked Li Mengli even more was the smart home system here.

Li Ze stood at the door and casually said:

"Open the curtains and turn on the fresh air system."

The next second, the curtains slowly opened automatically, and the fresh air system started silently.

Li Ze walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and pointed to the huge glass pane, saying:

"This glass is also specially made; you can adjust its transparency."

As he spoke, he tapped a panel on the wall, and the originally transparent glass instantly turned into a fog, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

"This is so high-tech! This is so cool!"

Li Mengli excitedly ran around the room, touching this and looking at that.

Zhang Ruoran was also amazed by the high-tech house.

Although she was the manager of a high-end restaurant and had seen a lot of the world, this was the first time she had ever seen a mansion of this caliber.

She walked over to Li Ze and asked in a low voice:

"This...this house must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Ze smiled and said casually:

"It's alright. Including the renovation and equipment, it's around 20 million."

"Twenty million?!"

Zhang Ruoran gasped and stared wide-eyed at Li Ze.

Although she knew he was rich, the fact that he casually owned a house worth 20 million still made her feel dizzy.

Even Li Menghan, who was still immersed in the pain of heartbreak, couldn't help but look up and glance around when she heard this number, a hint of shock showing in her eyes.

Li Ze looked at the two children and said gently:

"From now on, you two siblings will live here."

"It's just across the street from Han City University, so it's very convenient to go to and from school. It's only a short walk away, and I can sleep in a little longer."

Li Mengli ran over, grabbed Li Ze's arm, and jumped for joy:

"Thank you, Dad! I love it here!"

Although Li Menghan still felt a little awkward and didn't want to accept Li Ze's charity.

But looking at such a nice house, and thinking about where he used to live, he really couldn't bring himself to refuse.

He pursed his lips and whispered:

"……Thanks."

Hearing those two words warmed Li Ze's heart.

It seems this icy stone isn't completely unwarmable after all.

Just then, Zhang Ruoran suddenly spoke:

"Li Ze, this house is really nice."

"Since you bought it for the children, then let Mengli and Menghan stay here."

"As for me..."

Zhang Ruoran paused, her tone becoming firm:

"I'll go back to where I live."

Li Ze became anxious upon hearing this:

"Why? There are so many rooms here, wouldn't it be better if our whole family lived together?"

"Your apartment may be closer to your workplace, but the environment here is much better."

"If you're worried about your mortgage, I'll have someone pay it all off for you right away."

Zhang Ruoran shook her head and refused:

"No need, I have my own principles."

"Although it's a bit run-down, it's a home I built myself, bit by bit, and I feel at ease living there."

"The most crucial thing is..."

Zhang Ruoran looked at Li Ze, her eyes flickering slightly:

"We haven't remarried yet; we're still in the observation period."

"If I were to move in with you now, what would that look like? People would laugh at us."

Li Ze scratched his head, somewhat helplessly:

"But the house is registered in your name, you're the lady of the house, so why can't you live there?"

Zhang Ruoran still insists:

"Whose name is written is not important; what matters is the principle."

"I can move in once we've really remarried."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Ze didn't press the matter further and could only sigh.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Then, his eyes darted around, and he said:

"Since you don't live here, I will."

"I have to stay and take care of the children, cook for them, and be responsible for picking them up and dropping them off."

"That should be alright, right?"

Before Zhang Ruoran could speak, Li Menghan, standing beside her, frowned and said with a displeased expression:

"You're going to stay here? Then I won't stay."

"I want to apply for a room in the school dormitory."

Li Ze laughed in exasperation when he saw that the kid was about to act recklessly again:

"Hey, you child, how can you be so ungrateful?"

"Why would someone choose to squeeze into that run-down dorm room when they have a perfectly good house to live in?"

Li Ze was too lazy to indulge him and waved his hand:

"Fine, I can't control you anyway."

"Your legs are your own, you can live wherever you like."

"Anyway, Mengli can stay here. I'll stay with my daughter."

Li Mengli quickly raised her hand in agreement:

"Yeah, yeah! I'll stay here! It's so comfortable here! Only a fool would stay in a dormitory!"

After saying that, she made a face at her younger brother.

Li Menghan was speechless after being rebuked, and angrily turned her head to the side.

Li Ze checked the time and clapped his hands:

"Alright, everyone stop standing there, it's almost noon."

"To celebrate our housewarming, we're having a big meal at home today!"

After saying that, Li Ze snapped his fingers.

The door opened with a click.

The eldest brother led in several chefs dressed in white chef uniforms and wearing tall hats, pushing a small cart full of high-end ingredients.

"Boss, lunch is ready. We can start cooking anytime."
